Chapter 17 the broken friendships

You wake up and are  suddenly surrounded by Bellatrix and pansy each with a frown, “what’s wrong?” you ask as you begin to get ready, Bellatrix looked at pansy and spoke “where have you been hiding all week y/n?, we’ve been so worried”, you stop for a moment to think of a plausible excuse of your current absence, but time was ticking and unlike tom you hadn’t mastered the ability to lie through your teeth, after what felt like an eternity, pansy spoke up but after five seconds you realized this was more of an intervention “we’ve not seen you for weeks, coming in at the dead of night, I get it your a slytherin, but you don’t have to sneak around every night!" you look at your shoes as pansy begins to rant and rage at you about being careful and who knows what’s about at night, not that you couldn’t take anything that they threw at you.
Pansy finally stopped once she noticed you had stopped paying attention and looked at the window longingly “am I boring you?” pansy asked with her hands on her hips ready to slap you depending on your answer.
You tare your eyes away and slowly look to see Bellatrix holding pansy back, “fine, were done” you could see so much sorrow in her eyes as she walked away but you couldn’t focus on your fractured friendship, you needed to focus on the plan, you had been staying up day and night planning and battling, you won most fights even managing to beat Tom a couple times but something told you he was humouring you.
After a stressful amount of classes you ventured off into the library only to see malfoy coming towards your table and take a seat next to you.
“you look awfully tired” malfoy asked, he seemed to genuinely care as you were childhood friends but ever since your parents decided to try and get you married to him, you hated him and everything he did seemed to annoy you. So you walked away and moved across from him not realising who was sitting next to you until it was too late.
You heard a grown and a mumble, just seconds later a curse flew directly at you, but you managed to dodge in time, the poster behind you began to crumble and disintegrate, causing you to move a little away from him.
“Why must you constantly follow me, I have no need for you now" you look to the side of you to see Tom riddle not looking at you and clearly trying  to study or maybe just jot some murder plans in his journal.
Smirking you steal the book from under him, currently off guard at your sudden act, he leapt from his chair to grab at the book, causing you to laugh at him, which only made him worse.
“what’s your problem get out of bed the wrong side again?” you doge the book away from toms grasp and continued to whisk away from him, being small had its advantages sometimes.
“you are not important enough to read that, only I can read what is within those pages, go ahead it won’t work" Tom said after trying to grab at it one last time.
“I think I’ve been spending way too much time with you, your too predictable now" you say with a  Cheshire cat grin , eager to prove him wrong and that you were worthy but the moment you opened the book, you were blasted within the book causing you to question your motive.
