The next morning

I woke up from a headache I hadn't slept the previous night. I thought about who the guy was the riddles were talking about and what happened at the lake. As soon as I got up an owl flew inside my window dropping a letter. I picked it up and realized it was from Anna and I opened it up to see what it had said.

Me and Issac are transferring to Hogwarts soon since mother and father wanted us too. I'm so excited and I can't wait to see you soon.

Anna

I smiled I'm glad they're both joining Hogwarts I could use their help to find out what's going on with everyone I thought as I picked up my wand books and headed to my first class. As I entered potions class, professor Slughorn greeted me.

"Y/n I'm glad to see you, is everything is fine? You weren't here yesterday" he asked.

"Oh yes sir I just wasn't feeling well" I answered to which he nodded from the corner of my eye I could see Alex smirking at what I had said. I walked over to the seat across from him and sat down.

"Common excuse you gave him" he said looking directly in my direction.

"So, what he believed it" I said shrugging.

"He'll believe anything" he said turning the pages in his book. I scoffed at what he had said knowing he did have a point manipulating Slughorn is very easy I thought. Soon I saw Tom walk his features being cold as usual his jaw tightened and his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever except now, he looked restless, and you could tell. He just nodded to Slughorn's greeting and walked to the seat next to Alex what's wrong with him he's definitely been doing some sort of research why else he would look like this my thoughts were cut off by him speaking.

"I appreciate your concern Slytherin, but you should learn to mind your business" he said bitterly closing his book and giving me a glare fuck I had forgotten he had found out how to read my mind. I turned around after what he said few moments later, I watched Maya walk in taking a seat next to me. Soon after the lesson had started throughout the lesson, I could catch Louis and Zach giving me glances. I hate them more than anything. I need to know what's going on.

"You alright?" Maya asked, nudging my arm slightly.

"Yeah, I'm fine" I replied to which she nodded after the lesson was over as we were about to leave. Slughorn stopped us.

"I'm having a dinner party for the Slughorn club tonight and I would really appreciate if all of the members showed up" he said. I nodded and I could see from the corner of my eye Tom giving at Alex a look as he spoke.

"Of course, sir we will be there" Tom said to which Alex nodded.

"Great I look forward to seeing you all there oh and before I forget y/n could you tell Mattheo since I know you both have the next class together, he said I stiffened a bit I hadn't talked to Mattheo since the ball, but I reluctantly agreed and walked out of the classroom before any of them as I was walking out, I got feel eyes behind me watching my figure leave

I walked into my next class and took a seat as I was writing in my book. I felt someone next to me. I turned and saw Mattheo sitting there with his books.

"So, you are alive" he said making me confused.

"What do you mean?" I asked turning back to my work. I heard him chuckle and then my seat was harshly turned around with his arms pinned on either side of the chair and his face inching closer to mine.
