In Between The Lines | Tomarry

Chapter Twelve (By Lourdes_the_writer)

"MUDBLOOD AND BLOODBETRAYER, SUMMONERS OF THE DARK MARK."Tom Riddle certainly did not expect that.

Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley apparently had summoned the Dark Mark in the Quidditch Cup, best Friends of Harry nonetheless.

According to the article they were found in a forest just below the dark mark and when they spelled the wands to see their last spell, it turned out to be "Mortem Fuga" the spell to summon the dark mark, and while on the trial with veritaserum they confessed that they had done it.

Tom Riddle, as always, knew better. From the conversations he had with Harry, Ron and Hermione were pure light, and besides Voldemort would never recruit a bloodbetrayer, even less a mudblood.

He was worried, how and why they summoned the dark mark, and even worst, how did that affect Harry.

Even after more than a year of being in Norway, he couldn't stop thinking about the green-eyed boy.

He didn't know why, honestly, he had fled the country to forget about all that sentimentalism, (and to be undercover) but he still kept thinking about him; Tom's roommate, none other than Viktor Krum himself, was tired of hearing about him.And just like that, the door of the house opened and Viktor Krum entered, Tom got out of the kitchen where he was having breakfast to greet him and he seemed particularly happy.

"Viktor?" Tom asked, Viktor left his luggage on the door and kissed him.

Oh yeah, they were dating.

"Hey Tommy boi." He said, Tom rolled his eyes and took his luggage to their room. "You know that I hate that nickname."

"Yeah, but I kind of love it." Viktor then sat down in the couch they had next to their bed and took out a piece of paper, muggle paper.

"What is that?" Tom asked, intrigued.

"All students of 17 years and up, shall be invited to Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and wizardry to participate in the Tri-Wizard tournament." Viktor read smugly. "You know what that means right?"

"I can't go." Said Tom as soon as Viktor stopped talking. He couldn't risk being recognized by Dumbledore, or worse, Harry.

"Why not? You are the best in class, and this will be a way to prove it! Plus, if you participate it's so obvious that Durmstrag will win." Viktor said reassuring, as if Tom Riddle himself had confidence problems.

Of course, Viktor didn't know him as Tom Riddle, otherwise known as Lord Voldemort.

Of course, Viktor didn't know that he was just putting a façade, dating the most popular boy in school just for his reputation and being shy and cute whenever it was needed.

Tom wanted to roll his eyes whenever Krum kissed him or did something more. But he hadn't complained, not even once, just to lay low.

"I will think about it" Tom said, not planning to think about it. "Alright, while you do that, I am gonna prepare breakfast.""I just had it." "Then you will have it twice."

-0-

That night, just as Tom drifted to sleep he had something that he hasn't had in years and years.

A nightmare.

He was a snake.

Not only metaphorically, but in that dream, he was Nagini, Voldemort, most precious Horrocrux.

The man (if you could even call him that) looked like a very ugly baby with bloody red eyes. It may seem like a weird description but that was just accurate, next to him on the right was wormtail, one of Voldemort's lackeys and the worst servant you could ever get, yet on the left was Barty Crouch Jr.

"You shall go to Hogwarts, and bring Harry Potter to me." Tom Riddle woke up startled.

"Tommy?" Krum asked half-sleep.

"You convinced me." Tom said. " I am going to Hogwarts."
