Y/n's POV:

There were big, no huge wooden doors that we were told to wait behind until we heard our names being called. Most people had already entered so we were one of the last. Parents had gone in first so they could see their children walking down the grand staircases in there dresses and suits. A faint "Y/n Slytherin and Mattheo Riddle" came from the other side of the door. They opened revealing a massive ball room decorated with flowers, gold, marble, chandeliers. Anything you could think of to make somewhere look rich.

I curtsied and Theo bowed. My asked quickly scanned over the many people looking our way until the locked with familiar eyes. My parents. Standing beside those of Mattheos. I kept the eye contact as we made our way down the stairs, arms linked. People clapped and they stared at us and our outfits. We walked past them, going to the back so we could see our parents. He had noticed his to around the same time I noticed mine obviously. One thing I had not expected was my mother being here. The one who told me to kill my brother. I stopped hated her for that question. "Ah my daughter, you look stunning" she said running up to be and grabbing my hands. I glanced over to my dad who rolled his eyes. I laughed in my head as he reminded of a teenager. "Move" he said. My mother looked shocked but did as he said. "You do look gorgeous darling, that dress suits you" his eyes quickly moved over to mattheo who was just done talking to his parents "and so does your partner" a quick smile flashed over Theo's face as he said that. Out conversation was cut short by dumbledoor up on a small raised platform. "Thank you to everyone who has attended that grand ball. It is an honour to be here with all our fantastic students and their family's. The first dance of the night will be help by the prefects and each house and their partners. Please make your way to the centre" I saw Tom quickly make his way of to us. He nodded at his father then turned his head to me "I need you to come dance. Astoria can't dance at all and it would be embarrassing" I looked at mattheo who nodded, not wanting to disappoint his family and make a fool of his brother. "Alright then" he took my hand and led me out into the middle where people had created a circle. In the circle was Harry Potter and Hermione. Ew. Cedric Diggory and some Hufflepuff girl and Cho Chang and again some Ravenclaw boy. Everyone knew that celeriac and Cho were a thing but for this dance you needed someone from your house apparently. I don't know I was just told. Music began and everyone started moving along to it. Mine and toms moved were perfectly in scync, perfectly matching together as we moved from one move the next.

I took a moment to study him and his face. I had forgotten what it was like to be this close to him. He was tall and his hair was styled to one side, his curls falling to fit side of his face. His eyes were brown, dark dark brown. You could see yourself in them. His outfit matched Astorias. Her dress was ivory, covered in crystals with a heart neck line and she wore matching gloves. Looked like a wedding dress if you ask me. However Tom won wore an all black suit, even with a black shirt. His tie was white and he has white gloves on. Both without the crystals. He looked good.

The dance came to an end and we bowed and curtsied to each other. Tom took my arm and lead me the opposite direction of where are parents and partners stood, heading towards to exit. "Tom! What are you doing" I angrily whispered still smiling not to disturb anyone. He didn't say anything and continued.

When we finally got out and let go and turned around. "So?" I crossed my arms "want to tell me why you dragged me?" He quickly turned round and pinned me to the wall "why did you choose him?"
"Pardon?"
"Why the fuck did you choose my brother?" Pain was evident in his eyes. I scoffed. "Wow. Do that thick brain of your forget?" I moved his hands off of me. He tried to cover up the pain in his eyes but it was still there. "YOU left. Not me. I needed you. I trusted you"
"And you think that was easy?" He said quietly. His face turned angry "you think that was my fucking choice y/n" he shouted "It's not always about you! People have lives to you know?! And feelings! It may not seem like it but I have them so whatever game your playing between me and my brother needs to stop. It hurts you know. When the only girl I feel like cared about me prefers my brother after leafy me on! You know how that makes me feel?!"
Tears threatened to fall down his face. "I- I" I went to say something "don't even" he stopped as he walked away "and maybe you should know something about your dear boyfriend. He's the one you threatened me. That's why I left"

Tom's pov:
That's the single most hardest thing I've had to do. I wiped my tears and checked myself quickly in the bathroom before walking back out. I had left y/n outside. I don't really want anything to do with her at the moment. I know I hurt her but she needed to know. And I don't regret anything. Astoria ran up to me "hey babe! Come one it's couple dance then parents dance. I want to do this before I have to dance with my dad" she rolled her eyes. I slipped my arms round her waist and brough her to the dance floor. While dancing I looked around. Mattheo was dancing with some other girl from another school. Y/n hasn't come out yet. Maybe I was to harsh. Stop it tom. No I wasn't. She needed a reality check.

As all the men took a step back to swap with their dads y/n joined in. Her eyes were bloodshot meaning she had been crying. I shook the feeling off again and felt a dark presence behind me. Y/N's dad. He took her hand and everyone started dancing again.

My eyes followed her for some reason. Nearing the middle of the dance her dads head dipped next to her ear and whispered something in it. She nodded and the continued.

As they spun y/n's hand slipped onto astorias back and rubbed something on it.

Y/N's POV:
It was easy access to her back since the dress stopped low down. My father had asked my to poison her and had slipped something into my hand when he took it to dance. I smirked as I saw her face turn pale as she made eye contact with me.

A smirk was plastered on my face as I saw Astoria stumble into the crowd once the dance had ended. Me and my father made our way over to the bar. He ordered both of us. Champagne and we went to the big chairs on the side.

Time skip

We finally arrive back at the hotel. Although my feet didn't heart everything else did. The words Tom said still lingering in my head. The betrayal of mattheo. Why the Fuck would he send Tom away? Threaten him?

I got undressed and took off all my makeup. I put my night dress on and slipped into bed. The light switched off and I was left in darkness. I shut my eyes and felt myself drift off to sleep.
