The Devils Mistress | T.Riddle

Chapter twenty five - Bingo

T.W. Mentions of murder and strangulation. 

~Live POV 

He pulled the chair out of the desks at the back of the class. I watched Him take out his wand and mutter concealment enchantments, they were not powerful or long lasting but I would do for the time being. 

Theo.

 An image of last night flashed quickly over my mind. Pam's face when she heard the foot steps, Alexa sprawled across the floor, the horror nights Janelle's eyes. It all came at once like one swift blow to the head 

"No Tom, I did not"

 "I'm glad, I was beginning to think that you had forgotten completely" Tom stopped and stared for a few seconds before whispering "or you want to forget it, I mean I can't blame you girls aren't supposed too be in these types of situations, i get that you might just want to forget" I felt my rage level skyrocket, I was already agitated from the idea of being in the same room as Dumbledore, but now I have to deal with Tom accusing me of ignoring the danger that my friends could be in.

 "DON'T YOU DARE, I'm just as worried as you, my friends could have gotten hurt! Not yours, Mine! How dare you say I can not process this" I slammed my fist on the desk and grabbed Toms tie tightening it round his neck, I could see his neck turning red but I didn't care. "Now listen here I care more about those girls then you will ever care about anyone! And don't you dare say I'm not masculine enough to handle my self! I could strangle you right here right now and not give a DAMN!" His neck was turning purple as he tried to grab my hands and release them from my hold. 

But there was no way in Merlins good name I was doing that.

"Llll -Liv—e" He choked, before I let him go. He fell to the floor coughing and spluttering everywhere. I could have swore I saw blood. 

Luckily the protection spells prevented the class from seeing this. "Get up" my words were laced with rage. I nocked his wand into his hand for him to rid him self of the marks left on his neck. Soon Tom emerged from beneath the desk, his face as completely neutral, but his eyes.

 His dark shimmering eyes. 

Glazed with fear. 

This was the first time he had come close to death. But if he keeps up with this attitude then, I'm sure it won't be his last. "Live, I-l- l apologise for offending you in anyway-" 

"You have lost your right to speak, now sit or do I have to drag you there myself" I spat and as I commanded he sat, like the pathetic dog he is. 

"Now for your information I have Last nights affair under control" 

"Then how did he disappear? Live, if you really have the situation under control!" I sat there silent. He got the hint. He dropped his head and stayed silent.

For the rest of the lesson he sat in silent and we study ruins and practised analysis. I knew all the symbols and spells and clearly Tom did too. But I had made my mark, for now anyways. 

"Thank you class, you are dismissed" Professor Cicada announced.

 I had packed up and was ready to leave when I felt Toms hand close round my wrist. "Live, please let me help, you need me-"

 "when have I ever needed a man to do my job" 

"Live, Listen to me for one second before interrupting, I want to help. Not just for my gain but for yours too. I know the book he took from the restricted section" maybe he wasn't such as worthless as I thought.
