-Weeks into your study session:
While everyone was at Dinner, you had to go to the library to study with Tom. Not even the muggle librarian was there, which was very surprising. You walked towards a table that Tom sat at. "H-Hello." He looked up at you and furrowed his eyebrows. "Stop stuttering... It is embarrassing." You frowned, "O-oh, ahem. Sorry.." You bit your inner cheek and question yourself as to why you apologized. "Okay so..." When your making a Felix Fesis, you cannot trust the book. Therefore allow me to provide for you." He explained what to do and how to do it, you were still hurt by his comment considering you couldn't control your studying problem.

"Are we done studying now?" You questioned. Tom replied in an annoyed tone. "No, we still have to practice the potion." You glanced at him: "But, I'm really tired Tom.." You yawned. "Y/n, your the one failing here! I'm trying to help you and your basically ignoring my help stop being so daft." He jabbed at your shoulder, which actually hurt.. "Ow.." Tom scowled, "Aw, did the baby get hurt." He jabbed your other should. "Tom-" He stopped walking in his tracks; making you run into his back. "Stop being so 𝑤𝑒𝑎𝑘." You stared at him, that hurt you a lot more than you expected. You looked down and said with your voice cracking: "I-I- think we can finish studying tomorrow.." You started to cry softly and walked away from Tom. You started to run out to the Black Lake, you sat down against a tree and started to cry. "It's not my fault no one taught me to defend myself..Only Hogwarts has, Hogwarts is my only home.." You now began to sob, forcing your face to bury into your knees. You looked up at the stars while you resumes to pay attention to the midnight black sky. "Y/n?" You turned your head to see Abraxas Malfoy. You widened your eyes and hid your face to the opposing side of him. "What's wrong.." You swallowed the lump in your throat. "N-nothing." You got up and sweeped off your knees and the back of your skirt. "Y/n-" You stopped and turned around. "What?" Abraxas slightly stuttered "I-I- what happened." You wiped your cheeks with your sleeve. "Tell your little leader to keep his hurtful bloody comments to himself!" You shouted which seemed to startle Malfoy. "I'm sorry about him.." "J-Just leave me alone.." Y/n heard his footsteps either away as you stared at the glistening black lake only a few feet from you. "Well, well. A bit sensitive are we." Y/n didn't even have to turn around she knew who it was. "S-stop I don't wanna chat right now, I feel uneasy.." Y/n turned her head away from Tom. "Hey, I'm gonna be honest with you. Stop being so sensitive it's annoying.." You whipped your head around, "Well maybe if you kept your pathetic hurtful comments to yourself then maybe just maybe for once second you wouldn't be hurting anyone! You only care about yourself Tom, you'll do whatever you want just to get it into your grasp all because your scared!" He replied bitterly- "I am not, scared!" He said gritting his teeth. You started to shed a few tears. "Yes you are! You are scared, you desire something greater than power, Tom." He stood in front of her, towering over her since she was a bit shorter than the tall figure. "What is it I desire then Y/n?" She replied sweetly "You desire affection, Tom. You desire 𝐿𝑜𝑣𝑒." He looked down at her in awe, then quickly returned to his emotionless normal blank, expressions.
"Goodnight Y/n, I apologize. Greatly." You looked up to him, "How can I know you mean it." Tom shrugged, "Maybe we can grab some butterbeer Saturday at Hogsmede." He started to walk away, you smiled to yourself. 𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑤𝑎𝑠 ℎ𝑒 𝑑𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡𝑜 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑑, ℎ𝑒'𝑠 𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑠ℎ𝑒 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑘𝑠 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑛𝑜𝑤...
