ou walk into the main hall to see Tom no where in site “y/n, I can’t believe you went to Hogsmeade without me" a little red head said while huffing at you, you pat her head and smile down towards her “Well if you weren’t in third year you would have been able to come” you said teasingly the little third year “just you wait, one day I’ll be able to go with you" you laugh at her foolishness “when your old enough I’ll have already graduated” you say while sitting down to eat some more of your candy “did you go by your self? you know how unsafe it is around Hogsmeade with Grindelwald recruiting” you scoff at her worried face and then notice once again Tom was no where around “well if you must know tom took me, so I was safe" this causes the red head to raise an eye brow “you know he gives me the creeps it’s like he could easily kill me if he wanted to and that scares me" she says while looking over her shoulder.
Tom managed to sneak past you before you entered the hall, making sure to not be noticed by anyone as he entered the girls bathroom, he groaned as he knew if anyone saw him, his reputation would be ruined but knew he had to do this to get rid of all the filthy mudbloods, smirking at his evil plans he made his way to the sink, noticing the snake on the tap he began to speak parseltongue to gain access to the Chamber. Tom came face to face with a giant snake like creature with yellow piercing eyes eager for blood “why have you awoken me young master?” the snake hissed towards Tom, noticing the blood of Salazar inside the boy “I have come to finished the work of Salazar” Tom spoke softly and menacingly towards the serpent “very well I am at your service young master” the snake bowed its head in Tom’s direction showing its obedience “kill as many mudblood as you wish but no pureblood” Tom spoke almost too eager to kill half the school, the snake slithered off to find its first victim causing Tom to hum in satisfaction and walk back up to the great Hall to get his followers.
Your face lit up upon noticing Tom enter the hall, only to notice he was headed straight for his followers and didn’t bat an eye in your direction, this caused you to become annoyed and even more enraged at the fact you were unsure of why you cared at all.
“lily why do you think I care for someone I hate" you turn to the red head noticing her eyes shine in pride but some what mischievous “its simple your in love” lily said simply not even taking a moment to think “that’s not true I'd rather die" you said dramatically slamming your head on the table causing people to stare in your direction, “don’t be dramatic, who’s the lucky guy then?” Lily said while looking around, you sigh “no one, how’s potter?” you say trying to change the topic “oh he’s fine, he’s made a map with his buddies to detect everyone in the castle and where they are at any moment” this peaked your interests and scooted closer towards lily “if I give you a hundred Galleons do you think they would make me one?” you say eager to use the map for mischief, “I’ll go and ask" the girl hopped off to find her friends eager to impress you.
“so pansy have you managed to get over your hangover” you say to the girl who seemed to be slumped over her food, clearly unable to make conversation with you, you scoff at how they were able to get to the great Hall with them being in that state.
After you had finished your meal lily came back holding the map she had mentioned and you happily gave her the money to pass on to her friends “to open it you need to tap it with your wand and say, ‘I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.’ Otherwise it just looks like a blank piece of paper,“ you smile at the girl as you try it out causing the ink to show everyone’s location but you were only interested in one persons location, was this stalking? possibly but who would find out.
You stared down at the map and saw no sign of Tom on the map at all, “is this faulty, I can’t find who I am looking for?” Lily looked at you questionably and then shrugged “Well I best be off I’ve got tons of homework to finish “ lily said while running to re-join her friends, you couldn’t help wonder how you had become some what friends with the girl, remembering how you jumped up to save a first year slytherin someone of the name Snape and she had been eternally grateful for your help never leaving your side saying you were there protection, that moment had been a blessing and a curse being stuck with two first years was not fun but at least you had a new friend from another house, you were trying to collect them all after all.
Tom took his followers to the room of requirements as it was the easiest to get to without anyone asking questions “what are we doing here tom?” Avery asked clearly annoyed at the fact his meal had been cut short “I am here to inform you of my plan” Tom said while standing away from them facing the fire place with his hands behind his back, “and?” malfoy asked clearly not learnt from the last time he had spoken out at Tom, “crucio" Tom spoke while his wand shot out  a red Ray hitting malfoy and causing him to shiver in pain for a moment “as I was saying, I have released my pet onto Hogwarts and no mudblood will stand a chance against it” Tom said turning around to face his followers to see amazement on their faces along with fear “it won’t attack us though will it?” rosier asked clearly unsure of if she could speak or not, Tom looked at her and cleared his throat “Well as long as your pure blood you will be spared “ rosier sat back down clearly happy with the answer “now that my pet is doing all the dirty work I’d like for you all to find more information on the following “ Tom said handing the group, books of darks arts “if you are to follow me, you must be skilled enough in these basic skills” everyone grabbed one for dear life and left Tom to do some research.
You shake out of your memories and look to see most of your Slytherin table had left and the map was moving once again, you look and see a weird shape clearly moving at great speed headed down the halls of Hogwarts, very interested in this new found thing you wonder to the shape.
You walk around corridor after corridor until you are directly below the shape, you walk up the stairs and come face to face with a young Hufflepuff frozen, holding her makeup mirror, clearly she was caught off guard as she put on her lipstick. You look around and see no one, looking on the map you notice professor dippet and Dumbledore headed towards you, you quickly turn your self invisible and hide in the darkness.
“I feared the rumours were true” Dumbledore said to dippet who was reaching for the girls pulse “it was lucky you came across this when you did albus, she had merely minutes left” dippet spoke in a hushed voice “what do you believe caused this albus?” dippet said turning to Dumbledore who had begun walking in a circle “I am unsure, I am certain that the girl is petrified which can be reversed, we must take her to the healer at once" Dumbledore said while levitating the girl off towards the hospital wing with dippet following in suit, you wonder back to your common room clearly unsure of what might happen to Hogwarts after such an attack.
You notice Tom sitting on his arm chair once again holding a dark arts book clearly unimpressed upon your arrival “you realise I am a prefect right?” you laugh at him causing him to raise an eyebrow at you “the amount of times you’ve told me, I think your trying to convince yourself rather than me” you say while sitting opposite Tom “what made you late anyway?” Tom said clearly bored of the conversation “I was interested in the petrified girl" this caused tom to turn from his book and look at you “and?” you shrug “Dumbledore doesn’t know what caused it, but it moves so fast, I couldn’t even see what did it “ you say while trying to figure it out “I just wish I was quick enough to get to it in time” you sigh as you have too many missing puzzle pieces to come to one conclusion. Tom internally laughed at the fact he knew something you didn’t and that he had stumped Dumbledore.
