Dark Waters (Tom Riddle x Mermaid !reader)

ꕥChapter 5:

The next day:

Full moon is finaly there for 3 days and you could feel your body attracted to it. It was normal and you didn't stressed about it you just needed to swim more than usual or your body will missed water.

You were sitting at your gryffindor table to eat your breakfast. You were alone with just a few students there. Because of the moon you couldn't sleep much and you decide to go down early.
You were reading a book while eating an apple but you couldn't focus on it.

You were remembering Hagrid's lesson from yesterday. You didn't like the fact that now everybody knew about the 'New moon's mermaids' but at the same time nobody knew about your condition. But you couldn't help it and were stressed about it.

After a few minutes, a dark energy that you knew too well, came into the great hall. It was Riddle. He was alone too and took his place on the slytherin table almost in front of you. Nobody was in the way between the two of you.

As much as his presence disturbed you, you were intrigued by him. You were always curious about everything. But you knew, since last year, that you had to be more carefull and on your guards.

You were even more sensitive to his energy during the moon. It was making you cold inside and kind of sad for no reason and you wondered if he knew about that.

He was there, taking a sip of his pumpkin juice while turning a page of his book. Calm and elegant in his movements. His Black curly hair perfectly dressed and his beautiful eyes focused on his book as usual.

Yes he was perfect but you knew that this energy that were floating around him was what he really was inside, rotten. And you wondered how and why he was like that...why did he have to hide that part of himself from everybody ?

You were staring at him for a while and he suddenly looked up at you, probably feeling your eyes on him. He looked at you with emotionless eyes but then you could detect a slight of curiousness in his gesture. He was now looking at you like you were looking at him.

And he smirked. It was the kind of face you hated from him. Has if it would say 'I have power over you'. You didn't move an inch and you had a stern look on your face. You won't enter his game. You replaced your glasses on your nose and you had now a sad look looking away from him.

Tom's pov:

I knew she was already there, for some reason since this morning, I felt  something strange about her. My mind couldn't get off of her. And that was really making me upset.

As I were sitting at my table, I felt her gaze on me. So I looked up to face her. 'Why do she looks like she is always hiding herself ?' Ie thought to myself. I was remembering her face behind those big glasses. She had a enchanting beauty. Was she real?

I could feel how pure and innocent she was. It annoyed me, she was everything that I would never truly be. My perfect image was all fake and she noticed it. It annoyed me even more. So I smirked at her, trying to find a reason for me to hate her.

As she turned her look away from me, I didn't stop looking at her. She knew that I wasn't like any other wizard. She didn't like my presence. But I hate that look on her face...

"Tom?Are you listening ?"

I was so focused on her that I didn't even realised that someone was talking to me. So I turned to the annoying voice that was calling me and that was a slytherin girl that I don't even know the name and I don't care. But I don't want her to know that I was looking at y/n...so I faked a polite smiled and looked at her.

"Sorry, what did you Say?"I said.

"Oh..I was asking you if you wanted to go to Hogsmeade to help me with studies..." She said
