Dark Waters (Tom Riddle x Mermaid !reader)

ꕥChapter 10:

The next day, you and Tom would meet to share the book. Lately, thanks to your friends and what happend to you previously in the bathroom, you were starting to feel better about yourself, much more confident and knowing your worth.

You would always be carefull, but you knew that you could be finally happy. Your friends were Amazing.

The only annoying, yet intriging, shadow in your life, was Tom Riddle.

As you walk down the hall to head to the library you couldn't help but think about what a guy like him could be thinking about. He was smart and very handsome.  He may act as he was superior and he is surely cold hearted. But you could sense something else in him.

Loneliness.

This dark energy around him was still mysterious to you. He probably was dealing with dark Magic. And that would explain a lot but....you can't let him do all of this like that. You need to protect your friends and him from himself.

Nothings good come out from dark Magic and you knew that. You stopped at this thought in front of the library door and you looked at a Mark you had near your heart.

It was a really Bad memorie. That was at that time when Travis had tried to kill you. He had Heart you with some kind of dark magic. This Mark would stay forever.

"Why are you stayin there like this?" A annoyed voice said.

You suddenly turn your face to Riddle, recognizing immediatly his voice.
"Sorry I was about to enter..." You said looking away removing your nervous hand from your mark.

He noticed that but didn't know what was that about. Before he could Say anything you put one hand behind his back and pushed him insinde whith you.
"Let's go!" You said smiling.

He was suprised, your kind hand on his back had a strange feeling so he decided to walk faster to go away from your touch, too nervous to stay like this.

You didn't understand this cold move but you didn't mind. You just followed him inside and at a place to sit.

"So did you started your research?" Tom said without looking at you acting coldly.

"Actually yes, I managed to find some things even without the books." You said Always smiling.

"May I?" He asked.

"Of course!" You said handing him your notes.

He read it, being amazed by your hand writes he was focus on it.

"Can I see yours?"you said.

"Yes" he  said always reading your note with attention. With so much attention that he didn't noticed that you picked his wrong notes Book.

"So..." You said while opening the note Book, but it was his diary.

You didn't understand what was writting at first, it was about a chamber of secret and the heir of slytherin.

"What...Tom whta is thé chamber of-" you cut yourself off, when you read the sentence at the end:

'what should I do about Y/N?'

Tom was taking out of his thoughts immediatly when he heard 'the chamber of'

"What do you think you're doing!!" He said telling a bit and taking his diary away from your hands, making some people turning their head towards you (even if some girls were looking already, jealous of course)

"I-I thougt it was your notebook!" You said confused not sure of what you should Say.

"No" he said coldy.

You looked at him in the eyes, and after you sighted you asked him:
"What did you wrote about me?"

He froze affraid of what you could have see, he stood silent looking away.

"What do you have to do about me Tom.." you said annoyed and Tom staying quiet. "I'm sorry I didn't read it on purpose but know I need to know..."you add and he looked at you with a strange face.

"The truth is Y/N..." He began unsure. "Is...I think I like you."
