LIAR

Chapter 5- Day 1 True Hatred

Tazie

I had just gotten off the train, Draco and Leo following behind me like lost puppies. It  was quite funny actually. I was shorter than both of them but I walked much faster than both of then. When we finally got into the school, I couldn't help but look around a lot. It was such a nice place.

Leo and I had continued our little banter. Though I had began enjoying the little remarks. It made me laugh quite a bit. He however didn't seem at all amused, which made me laugh more. He just frowned.

"Someone's on there man period." I said giggling. Draco holding back laughter.

"Not my fault your presence pisses me off is it?" He snapped.

"Need a tampon love?" I said as I skipped ahead.

"Fuck off Tazie." He snapped. I giggled loudly, earning me a middle finger and a glare.

"Would you to stop acting like an old married couple and hurry up so we can go eat please? I'm fucking starving." Draco said, still laughing.

"Ooh, sassy. I like that. Where's this Draco been all this time. You two are so serious though. Really just let loose a little." I said.

After I had been sorted into my house, Slytherin, Dumbledore walked us to the great hall for dinner. Leo and Draco sat down while Dumbledore announced my arrival.

"We have a new student joining us. I'm sure you'll all give her a very warm welcome. Her name is Tazmera Riddle." He said. Gasps emitted the room, making me smile. They're so scared of literally fuck all. It's a name. Sure my dad is planning on killing most of them but we move. That probably would be scary. Oh well.

I sat down next to Draco and a very pretty girl.

"Pansy. Nice to meet you Tazmera." She said.

"Tazie. Nice too meet you too." I said. She smiled at me and seemed quite sincere. We chatted over dinner for a while.

"Tazmera isn't really what I would expect The Dark Lord to call his daughter." Pansy continued, everyone around us was joining in out conversation which was fine, though a few of them seemed truly petrified.

"Mum's idea I think." I continued.

"The Dark Lord has a wife?" Someone asked.

"Had. She died when a few months after I was born." I said.

"Oh sorry." They all said.

"Don't be." I said smiling. We continued mindlessly talking about things of no real significance to me.

A man with greasy hair told me I was sharing a room with Pansy. Which was fine by me. She seemed nice enough. 

Pansy, Draco and Leo followed to my dorm.

"Why the fuck are you two coming?" Pansy asked.

"None of your business Parkinson." Draco said.

"When did you become such an asshole? Usually is Leo who's a dickhead. Not you." Pansy said.

"You can fuck right off Pansy." Leo said.

"You both need to calm your fucking attitudes before you say something you'll regret. Just because I'm nice doesn't mean I won't break your fucking jaws." I snapped at the boys. All three of them looked quite shocked.

"My new best friend is a bad bitch. You two can fuck off now." Pansy said laughing.

"Bye boys. See you tomorrow." I said smiling as Pansy pulled me into the room.

All of my things where already there. Pesto was sat on my bed, fast asleep.

"Pesto!" I said. His ears perked up and he leaped into my arms. 

"Wow, your cat must've really missed you huh?" Pansy said sitting down on her bed.

"Yeah. He has uhm, seperation anxiety." I said.

*Seperation anxiety? Really Taz?* 

*Oh hush.*

I tried my best to sleep. It was around 2 am and I still couldn't sleep. I decided to go on a little walk instead of forcing myself to sleep. 

Pesto followed me as I carefully put on fluffy socks. I was wearing shorts and a regular shirt. 

I opened the door as carefully as I could, as not to wake Pansy up.

I walked around, getting goosebumps all over my body. I walked to the Slytherin common room. I sat down on a chair next to a small fire that was still alight. Pesto sat on my lap and I just sat there staring at the little patterns the fire made. I could've sworn I saw a woman's face for just a second. She looked familiar but I didn't know where I had seen her before. 

"What are you doing up Riddle?" Said a voice from behind me, I turned my head to see Leo in sweats.

"Couldn't sleep. You?" I asked, trying to be nice.

"Same. That your Lynx?" He asked sitting on the other side of the couch.

"Yeah." I said turning my face back to the fire. In seconds I was in a trance again, just staring at the golden flames as they danced so elegantly.

"Sorry." He said, interrupting my daydream.

"What for?" I said turning my face to meet his. He had moved slightly closer to me.

"Being an asshole. I won't lie, becoming a death eater was fucking stressful. I've been kind of-"

"Taking it out on everyone else because you can't admit you're fucking terrified of what's going to happen next?" I said interrupting him.

"Yeah. Exactly. Guess you're used to that. Being his daughter and all." He said.

"You never get used to it. Not knowing if I have to go into hiding too. Not knowing if i'm going to have to kill or be killed tomorrow. Not knowing if i'm ever going to be fucking safe again. I just want to be a normal kid you know?" I said.

"Yeah. I get you. What did he ask you to do?" Leo asked, his voice soft.

"I have to uhm- kill someone." I said, hesitantly.

"Holy shit. All me and Draco have to do is fix a cupboard." He said.

"I'm his daughter. He wants me to be exactly like him. Become a ruler of the wizarding world." I said.

"Well, what do you want?"

"I want to be a vet." I said smiling weakly.

"I wanted to be a chef." He said.

"Now look at us." I said laughing. He laughed too. Maybe he's not too bad.

"You look so cold." He said.

"The whole castle is freezing. I don't get how you lot aren't cold 24/7" I said laughing.

He took off his jumper, revealing a toned yet scarred stomach.

"Here. You need it more than I do." He said handing me the jumper.

"Thanks. You're not all bad, I guess." I said.

"Neither are you." He said laughing. We sat and talked for hours. The sun started to come up. We made each other laugh quite a bit. And his jumper was really warm. And it smelled like hazelnut and coffee.

"You'd better get back to your dorm Riddle. Pansy will be suspicious." He said.

"What about you?" I asked.

"I'm always up before everyone. Or at least that's what they think. I just don't sleep." He said.

"Right. Well okay. Here's your jumper back." I said going to take it off before he placed his hand on my knee.

"Nah, don't worry. Keep it. You can give it back later." He said. I smiled and walked back to my dorm. Pesto seemed to like Leo. He really wasn't all that bad.
