Only for you ~ Tom Marvolo Riddle

XI

Athena Rowle

I just can't anymore. Fuck this dark world. Fuck everyone. Fuck T-T, no I couldn't even think of it.

I got up and I fixed myself. When it felt like I was done I wrote a letter to Tom. I closed and took a deep breath. I made my way to Toms dorm. I knocked on the door. He opened it with a smile.

"Hey beautifu-"

"Take this, don't EVER open it until I say you can. I need to trust you with this. But sorry I just can't do this evil stuff anymore. Goodbye Riddle." I said as quick as I could.

I turned around and walked away before he could even say anything. That felt bad. I slowly started to cry. The warm tears were dripping down my cold cheeks.

I walked up to Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley and Harry Potter.

Hermione glared at me. "What now Rowle?"

"Can you please talk to me in private? I need to speak to you, please."

They walked away a few meters to discuss.

"I don't trust her." Hermione said directly.

"But let's hear what she has to say and if she says something that makes us not trusting her we can walk away." Harry said.

Both Ron and Hermione nodded and they walked up to me.

"Okay."

I put on a smile even though I looked completley broken.

I turned around and told them to follow me. I walked with them to the Astronomy Tower. I stopped and turned around to look them right in their eyes.

"Listen to me. You don't have to believe me."

It looked like I got their attention.

"I don't want to be mean anymore. Tom is starting to scare me and I can't stop him. I think he and the Death eaters have something in mind. I-I can help you. I know things, most importantly, I know them."

They all looked shocked. Without the others permission. Harry brusted out: That sounds great Athena.

I smiled and wiped away some tears.

"I understand if you don't believe me. But for the wizarding world and for Hogwarts, we need to work together."

Hermione nodded. I started to cry even more. The three of them looked at each other and then hugged me.

I've changed. I'm so glad I finally realized how you should behave. I'm a new person. I don't want to be called Rowle anymore, I'm Athena.

Tom Riddle

I held her letter between my fingers. What was going on? She literally became a death eater just a few days ago. She called me Riddle. RIDDLE? Are we back on last name level? It was like she was under a potion. She would've never done this. She studied dark arts every hour, every day for a whole week. This isn't right. I wanted to rip of the letter to see what she had written but I needed to trust her and she needed to trust me.

I walked out of my dorm just shocked. And infront of my eyes in the great hall something even more shocking was shown. Athena. She was talking and laughing with the, so called, golden trio. Fuck. What has happened? She wanted to kill all three of them two days ago. Where is the real Athena Rowle?
My Athena Rowle.

Athena Rowle

The three of them were so kind to me. I would've never thought they would respect me, a slytherin who has been a complete bitch to them. If someone was like that to me, I would've never be nice to them.

I felt great. I felt kind. I felt good. I was happy with myself, indeed. I felt changed to the better. But still I couldn't help but think about Tom. My lovely boyfriend, I don't know if he is that anymore though. But I needed to change. I can't be evil. No thats not okay. I will not turn back now, I will help the good side. Against my family and against my friends and against my everything.

I was sad but my new friends made me happy. When I saw everyone at breakfast I was scared to go sit with them. They will fucking kill me. So I decided to skip breakfast. I headed to my dorm. I bent down to look under my bed, there it was. The black, big book. I rised up again trying to forget it. I stepped in front of the mirror. I dragged up my sleeve to see the dark mark. I analyzed every part of the mark. Then I heard the door open, I quickly dragged down my sleeve and pretended that I was fixing my hair.

"Athena." It was Pansy.

"Hi Pans."

"Are you okay?"

"I'm better than okay, I feel amazing. I'm a new person."

"I just wanted to let you know that Tom wants to talk to you."

"Tell him that I wont say a single word to him."
