"

How did you get in here!?" a scruffy old man spoke from his arm chair, his eyes seemed broken and unable to attack tom "Well, by walking through the door" Tom said while holding his wand to his uncle "what do you want" the old man spoke in parseltongue, to try scaring the intruder but Tom had known the language from a young age so could easily keep conversation with the man "I came for the family ring and your head of course " Tom said while slowly walking towards the man, eager for his last moments to be fear and being unable to stop what was coming, "stop, you'll go to Azkaban for this " he shouted but was unable to even cast a spell to disarm the boy until he was inches from his face "now, any last words ?" Tom said while stroking his wand, the man refused to give Tom the satisfaction of any words or even a look of terror, causing tom to kill him and steal his ring, just before he left he blamed the poor defenceless house elf for the crime planting false memories into the poor creatures mind to make him believe without a doubt of its guilt.
"Tom are you quite alright, you've been zoned out for a while now" slug horn mentioned as he began cleaning his study "ah sorry professor I must not have gotten enough sleep last night" upon hearing this slug horn rushed Tom out of his office stating he must rest and get enough sleep, Tom reluctantly let slug horn push him out the door and began walking down towards the Slytherin common room where he found you sitting eating candy.
"Tom, do you want to accompany me to the party tonight there being held in the Ravenclaw tower, I've got Firewhiskey " you said while holding two bottles of Firewhiskey causing tom to smirk at her forwardness "you do realise I am a prefect don't you?" Tom said with his eye brow raised making you laugh at his antics "and what are you going to do about it? Your not going to be a spoil sport are you?" you said whining and placing the alcohol back into your robes, without waiting for his answer you had grabbed his arm and rushed towards the tower where the party was in full bloom, you approached the Ravenclaw door to hear the famous riddle, "feed me and I will live. Give me a drink and I will die. what am I?" the door spoke while you stared at Tom who looked puzzled "oh come on riddle its in your name, the answer is fire" the door swung open to see Elizabeth or Lizzy as you called her running up to you "hey Lizzy I hope you don't mind I brought Tom along " this caused her to raise an eye brow at you and then looked at your hand around his arm from dragging him "so let's get this party started "you said while holding the Firewhiskey and throwing down shot after shot. Tom rolled his eyes at your antics but felt like he was some what responsible for your well being, as he was a prefect and your fake boyfriend after all, so he sat down and began roaming the advanced range of books while you were dancing on a table and talking to a group of Ravenclaws "I know why don't we play spin the bottle " you said while snickering and trying to regain your balance.
"yeah that's a great idea y/n" Lizzy and her group of friends joined in along with malfoy, Lestrange, Nott and Rosier, Tom reluctantly placed his book he was reading down and joined in the game curious of this game they were talking about.
You place the bottle down and begin to spin it, it landed on pansy "truth, dare or heaven?" you said smirking at the now shaking girl "um truth" pansy said confidently "did you throw Bellatrix's tooth brush in the toilet" you smiled as you knew the answer, pansy looked at Bellatrix and then nodded guiltily causing the girls to start a cat fight, you giggling at the mess you've caused "Well I guess pansy's out " Lizzy said while spinning the bottle which landed on malfoy much to her annoyance "malfoy truth, dare or heaven ?" malfoy smirked and spoke "heaven" you smirked and pounced on Lizzy who was trying to escape her fate "let me go" she said trying to wiggle out of your grasp "gladly " you throw her into a cupboard with malfoy inside.
The game continued into the dead of the night "Tom truth, dare or heaven " Tom being able to lie his way out of anything spoke "truth" you stop and think for a second causing tom to internally yell at you "why are you always so mysterious" this caused tom to stare unsure of how to answer the question "I am not sure, I just prefer myself everyone else are unworthy of being near me" this caused you to laugh and stare at him, slowly your vision started to blur and Tom was becoming far away, unbenounced to you, you had fallen asleep on Tom's lap causing him to groan and pick you up. "you realise I dislike you!," he spoke while taking you back to your room, tucking you in and making sure you were safe before leaving the room and reading once again.
