The Devils Mistress | T.Riddle

Chapter seven - Roommate

~Lives POV 

I froze my father was very strict about my friendships especially with boys. I couldn't move, my brain was still trying to process what had just happened. "You don't have the right to tell me what to do Tom" With that I opened the door and stormed up the upstairs looking for my new dorm room. I was muttering to myself as I strode down the corridor leading to my new room. The feast wouldn't be over till another hour so I have time to unpack and prep for my new roomy. 

I was so engulfed by my thoughts I passed my room several times until I finally found it. I opened the door into a small en-suite. There were two four poster beds at ether side of the room each with their own bedside table with a small lamp on top of them. On the other side there was a small wooded chair with 3 green ties and scarf draped over it. On the bed was my trunk it still emblazoned with the L.A.R. I flicked my wand and it changed back to its original design 'much better'. I looked over at the other side of the room to where my roommates stuff was lying on the bed. Her trunk was labelled A.H. Both sides of the room were identical. 

I decided to remove my trunk and lay on my bed. I sank into the bed sheets it was comfy and warm. I soon gave in to urge to sleep and passed out on my bed dreaming about what could possibly go wrong. Thoughts of my Dumbledore, my new roommate and even Tom where circling round in my head. 

"Hey, Hey are you alive?" I was awoken but a dark brown bushy haired girl, "Hey, Hey! Your alive! I'm Alexa what's your name?" 

"Live, it's a pleasure to meet you Alexa." I rose from my bed how long had I been asleep? I held out my hand for her to shake it. "I don't do hand shakes I'm a hugger" Next thing i remember I was the warmest, tightest, friendliest hug i had ever experienced. "Ummmm......Thanks"

 "No problem. So your the girl that did the thing with the sorting hat. How did you do that I mean I thought I was cool an all but like how did you do that? You were the talk of the school and when they ordered Riddle to tour you-"

 "Riddle? Who's that" 

"Tom, Tom Riddle" a realisation came to me ohh so that's his last name.

 "Do you refer to every one by their last name?" 

"Sure I mean I'm Hudson, You'll be known as Ummm... what's you last name again?"

 "It's ....... Ro.. Robinson"

 "so I'll be know as Robinson or as the Sorting girl depends on how people like you"

 "Like me?"

 "Ya like if you nice they'll call you Robinson if your not the names are endless. I can say I've been here for 6 bloody years"

 "So do I call you Hudson or Alexa?" 

"It's Alexa to you Live your my new roomy." Tom had given her a bad name she was very nice and kind. She was wearing her Slytherin robes but she had her hair in a low ponytail with a pair of black pointy cat ears. I sat beside her as she trailed on about how cool it was for me to do the thing with the hat and how her old roommate was a horrid snorer and always came back to their dorm at 2am smelling like a drug den. "I'm I talking to much, am I boring you" 

"Of course not Alexa I love your story's I just have a lot of things on my mind moving away from the place I grew up in to move to the other side of the country it's just a lot to take in you know" 

"no I get it, I had to move to we all did it was hard for all of us" I gave her a small smile. How could she be more wrong. My mind was deep in the plan and how to get Dumbledore away from his teaching. I could play the 'I'm a traumatised little girl who need a father figure' or I could do the 'I'm just really dumb give me a tutor lesson'.

 "Soo are you a pure blood?" Alexa asked she had positioned her self cross legged on the end of my bed leaning against on of the posts. "I am if your wondering, most people are judged by their blood status here theirs a whole thing about how we should like muggleborns but I say screw them so what are you?" I thought long and hard about how I should answer this question to be completely honest I don't know my self " I think I'm a Pureblood." Why am I telling this girl things I won't even tell Hazel. 

"You think. Oh is it like a dad abandoned you situation cuz I know how that feels."

 "No it's just I'm not 100% sure I'm even human."

 "Uuuuuuuumm so you're like half dragon" a smiled appeared on her face followed by lots of giggling from her 

"Are you laughing at your own joke" I couldn't help but smile 

"It was a good one you've got to admit" we sat their for a few minutes giggling and smiling. It had been years since I had smiled like this before. "Im half Veela, Alexa my father is a pureblood and my mother is a Veela"

 "OMG that's why your so god damn gorgeous, I knew it was magic no one could look this good." I couldn't help but blush "Thanks Alexa, I mean your really pretty too" she laughed 

"don't pity me young lady take the bloody complement and own it, Girl! we've been talking for almost 2 hours, it's midnight and we got class tomorrow." She leaped of my bed falling on the marble floor. "Be careful I don't want to wake up to you dead"

 I started to laugh but she didn't return it, I stopped and turned to the girl laid on the floor. "Im sorry I have a bit of a dark sense of humour" 

"don't apologise, its just did you just laugh at your own joke?"that was the final straw we both collapsed clutching our waists of hysterical laughter. "A..Al..Alexa we need sleep" 

"I know it's just I haven't had this much fun with anyone ever thank you live" 

"thanks for what?"

 "Im not the happiest person alive and I've had a bad history with roommates and friendships but I feel like you get me, you know" I looked straight into her eyes they were ocean blue

 "i do, I too haven't had much luck with friends ether" I looked down an held out my hand for she to shake it "to the start of a new and great friendship"

 "like I said I'm more of a hugger" she flung her arms around my neck pulling me down for my bed and into her arms. "We have to go to sleep Live I'll see you in class tomorrow" i nodded and I slowly release her from the hug and I open my case to get my silk white pjs which I packed only this morning. It was hard to believe that only today I had moved across the country to my new home, met a boy who could rival my ability's and made my second friend.

She's a Veela! That's how she was able to charm to Tom. Hope you all liked this chapter and I want your opinions on Alexa. Have a great rest of your day.
