TOM RIDDLE POV

It's been a good two weeks since that day. Y/n left that night in a bigger carriage than the one they came in and with all the supplies they came here for.

Mattheo now looks at me with nothing but disappointment. I've been watching Y/n through my moon water and enchanted mirror. She's been looking over her shoulder every now and then. She hasn't been eating and the only time she does is when Draco force-feds her. After he leaves, she would just throw it all back up.

Y/n also hasn't been to most of her classes. All she does is stare at her door handle and cry herself to sleep. I noticed her anxiety got worse and the worst part, she acts like it's all fine in public.

All of a sudden, she starts to lightly smile. Even if it wasn't anything close to her real one. She got skinner, but her body still looked gorgeous.

Soon, she didn't laugh, she didn't cry, she didn't smile, she didn't shower, she didn't do her homework, but she did start to eat. She started to not care.

Draco was a worried mess. He would constantly watch her and would always leave plates of food by her bed every morning. He left cards along with the meal but signed them as anyone but himself. He also attached poems and notes that made her show some emotion.

I wanted to come back so bad, but I couldn't. Nothing is stopping me except the look on her face whenever she sees me.

I have many things to continue back at Hogwarts and I've put my whole plan on hold. There's no way I could focus when I was obsessing over what she was doing. I also didn't leave my room. I just stood above the fountain of moon water in my room and watched her. I did the same with my enchanted mirror.

Suddenly, the door opened. There would only be one person who would dare not knock and disturb me.

"Come to lecture me again Mattheo?" I spat, not looking away from the fountain.

"No. But I still think you're a dick." He cooed.

I rolled my eyes and touched my moon water. The image of Y/n reading her morning note disappeared and I looked back at my little brother.

"What do you want?" I hissed.

"I think we should go back." He suggested.

"You know I can't."

"Yea, you also can't be spending the rest of your life stalking her through your little mirror and water. Fix this problem Tom or it will only grow until one day, it takes over you completely." He advised.

I rolled my eyes and walked to my balcony.

"Whatever you do, I'm going back. I can't babysit you forever." He yelled and walked off.

"Whatever." I scoffed and returned to my view.

Maybe Mattheo had a point. If I don't do anything about this, it will only haunt me down. And I can't run forever. At least not from her.

I walked over to my bed and reached for a pink potion under my pillow. This was my plan B. For a situation when all things were lost and there would be no going back.

I walked to my dresser and pulled out an expensive, pretty necklace.

"I know I said I would never force you into anything, but you leave me no choice." I cooed as I opened the potion.

"But without you, my plans have a chance of failing...and I just cannot risk anything at this point. Not when I've come this far." I continued as I poured the pink magical water all over the necklace.
