TOM'S POV:

I woke up, something was weighing me down so I couldn't move. I opened my eyes to see y/n laying on top of me, of course I remembered us going to sleep but I didn't expect her to stay in the same place. I rubbed her back gently, trying to wake her up without startling her, but then I noticed that wasn't how I acted at all.

Just before I was going to wake her up I stared at her face for a moment, taking in her features. Her smooth y/s/c skin went perfect with her y/h/c hair, her rosy lips were plump, looking so soft, I wanted to kiss her. But wait, why am I thinking these things? "Stop Riddle, you hate her," I whispered to myself before pushing her off of me to the other side of the bed.

"What was that for?" She groaned, sitting up. "We have to get ready for classes," I informed, getting out of bed. "Shit, I need to take a shower," She said, checking the time, it was 6:23.

Y/n then hurried to the door, but I grabbed her arm, stopping her. "Mind if I take a shower with you?" I smirked in which her eyes went wide and her face turned red. "Yes, I'll see you in a bit, wait for me in the common room?" She asked in which I just nodded. She smiled and pressed a quick kiss to my lips but I pulled her in for another kiss which was long and passionate.

She pulled away from me and smiled. "I'll see you in a bit Riddle," She said, opening the door after I let go of her waist. "See you in a bit darling," I smirked, closing the door behind her.

I scoffed at my actions as I went over to my trunk to pick out clothes for the day.

Y/N'S POV:

I exited Tom's dorm with butterflies swarming my stomach and blush on my cheeks.

I walked to my dorm, when I approached the door I saw a piece of parchment on it. I took it off and entered my dorm, grabbing clothes to wear for the day.

After I took a shower and got ready I read the letter.

y/n,

please meet me in the astronomy tower at five, I need to talk to you.

-D.M

A letter from Draco? Meet him at the astronomy tower at five? Why? I was confused, he hasn't talked to me in a while, not since break at least.

I shoved the parchment in a pocket of my robes and exited my dorm while putting my wand in another pocket.

I saw Tom exit his dorm as well and I smiled, he saw me and put a smile on his face as well.

"To breakfast?" He asked, taking his arm out. "To breakfast," I said, wrapping my arm around his.

We walked down the steps and into the common room, I saw Draco sitting on one of the couches, I tried to walk faster but Tom stopped me. "What's wrong?" He asked. "Nothing, I'm just uh," I thought for a second. "Hungry." "You're lying," He narrowed his eyes, I know I am. "No I'm not," I lied again, looking away. "Yes you are," Tom said, grabbing my face rather roughly. I knew trying to lie was a waste of time, but I didn't want him finding out about the note, was I even going to go?

"Fine, maybe I am," I crossed my arms after I unhooked my arm from his. "Now why would you do that? You know you'll get punished if you lie to me," He said as his eyes narrowed. "Yes I know, I'm sorry," I apologised, looking around the room, Draco's attention went to me and Tom, great.

"Now what's wrong?" He asked again. "I can't tell you here, come with me," I said, grabbing Tom's hand and bringing him out of the common room.

"Promise you won't get mad and go crazy," I looked up at him as we went into an empty corridor. "I can't promise anything," He rolled his eyes. "Fine, just try to not go shouting threats or curses," I said, grabbing the letter from my pocket. "A piece of parchment? Really?" He scoffed. "Not just parchment, it's a letter, it was on my door this morning when I left your dorm," I informed, unrolling the letter. "Who's it from?" Tom asked as I tried to flatten out the parchment the best I could without ripping it.

"Here," I said, handing him the letter. He took it and read over it carefully, his eyes darkened and narrowed. "You're not going," He said. "What?" I asked. "You're not going," He repeated himself. "And why is that?" I asked, I didn't particularly want to go anyway, but I wanted to push Tom over the edge like I always did. "Because he's going to try something, maybe we should go to the astronomy tower, wait for him to get there, and see what happens," Tom smirked, putting his hands on my hips as he pushed me against the wall.

"We can't do that, Draco's my friend, he'll be even more mad. He probably just wanted to apologise," I said, looking to my right. "So what? He needs to know that you're mine," Tom said, grabbing my chin so I was now facing him. "I think he knows Tom, whenever he's near you're all over me, he knows and is clearly pissed about it," I sighed. "I don't know why you like taking the piss out of him so much, what if he did the same to you?" "He would be dead," Tom said like it was the most simplest thing to say. "Just come to the astronomy tower with me, 4:30." "Fine," I huffed, Tom then grabbed my hand and we started walking to the great hall.
