The Darkest Phoenix - Tom riddle x OC

Chapter 24 - "Promise me"

"Wait, so you're saying that even though I had an entire pile of chocolate in the cupboard, you ate my special ones?"

Malachi squeaked and ran over to the main door to their bedroom. He was able to open the door before he was tackled to the floor in the corridor. 

"It's not my fault. You left them out!"

"They had my name on it!"

"Who the fuck names chocolate!"

"Normally they do it so pesty twelve-year-olds don't eat it!"

Alex and Malachi rolled around on the floor. Not throwing hits or pulling hair, but just trying to top the other. 

"I swear it's like living with children." Grumbled Malfoy.

"I feel like children would be better." Nott watched confused with how quickly they were moving. 

"Lex get off him before he cries."

"I would not, especially when she is that small."  Malachi grumbled from the floor. 

"I am not small you overgrown dwarf."

"Your five foot two how is that not small."

"I'm five-three! Plus your only an inch taller than me, don't act so high and mighty.."

"An inch is not something to brag over Malachi. You're both short get used to it."

Alex fell off Malachi and couldn't help the eruption of laughter as she saw him getting the same conclusion. 

"Only you would brag about an inch."

"I don't have to brag, people can tell I'm packing." 

The other boys in the room finally got the joke and all went a little pink trying to keep their laughter at bay. Tom had to blink before he got over the shock of how their minds worked.

"I mean out of all the ones I've seen, I wouldn't say your's small."

"Oh yeh, as if I'd be less than those men, Azkaban must do something horrible if even the penis tries hiding."

They both tried sobering up when they saw how the others were looking at them. Like they'd gone fully insane and needed to be put down soon. 

"Lex, have you done your potions paper?" His tone was monotone and sharp.

She looked at Tom trying to figure out why his shoulders were so tense. 

"It's in your room still isn't it?" She lead the way and when he came in he closed the door gently behind him. "What's wrong, you look tense?"

"How many people have flashed you?  I'm assuming they did more than just give you a peak." He looked straight into her eyes. His frame was still impossibly stiff. She felt her eyes widen as she tried to get over the shock.

"I never kept count, why?"

"What do you mean why. You are so casual about this." His eyes went dangerously narrow. 

"Why does it bother you. I was never raped, I was never defenceless in there."

"But you could've been." His voice wavered a little and he hung his head a little in shame. 

She sighed. Walking forward she placed her hands on his cheeks and looked straight into his ruby eyes. "It's in the past. I have you now." She went on her tipy-toes and gave him a quick peck on the lips. 

Instead of pulling away, she was pulled further into the kiss. Her body pressed up against him. His hands wrapped around her lower back holding her in place.
