Monster From Hell | Tom Riddle

thirty nine🗝

(another tom pov, also a very short chapter)

I lied next to her, stroking her hair as she fell asleep in my arms. She held the teddy bear close to her chest. I was buried in my thoughts.

I loved Victoria. I really do, but I hate to admit it. My whole life I could never feel love, or care for anyone. It was all because of the love potion. If my filthy muggle father and that love potion, I could love someone.

Although, I do love Victoria. Even though I can't feel love. It almost feels like that ever since I met Victoria, that feeling has been broken. The feeling of not being able to feel love.

There was one problem though, an that was her friends. Especially Draco.

Draco hates me to pieces, an I hate him as well. Him and his self absorbed ass.

But it isn't about how I feel towards Draco. It was all about Victoria, and her only. I didn't care about her friends opinion about me, it can't stop me from loving her.

But it could stop her from loving me, if she does truly love me.

My thoughts were interrupted by Parkinson opening the door. Malfoy and Zambini followed after her. They all looked over towards me.

"What are you doing here?" Malfoy scoffed.

"What are you doing here Malfoy?" I retorted.

"What are you doing to her?" he asked.

"What does it look like I'm doing? Trying to poison her?" I furrowed my eyebrows anger, "Now shut it before you wake her up."

"Please don't fight," Parkinson chimed in, "Goodnight guys."

Zambini and Malfoy left the room. Leaving Parkinson, Victoria and I in the room. She looked over at me and pointed at the door.

"You too Riddle," She said, "I would like some sleep."

I sighed in annoyance. I unwrapped Victoria's arms that were around me and stood up. All of the sudden I heard a small tired voice.

"Tom, where are you going," She mumbled quietly.

I turned around to look at her. Her eyes were lightly squinted, she looked tired.

"I'm going back to my dorm," I explained, "Parkinson is here."

She ruined around to see Parkinson near the door. Standing there with her arms crossed against her chest.

"Oh, well I'll see you in the morning then," She lightly smiled.

"I'll see you in the morning," I smiled back. I walked out of the room, drowning in my thoughts once again.
