I've realized how much I fell for Tom. And honestly I wanted to confess. It's been two days after we had a one night stand. We hung out more, too. We'd sometimes go on dates or we'd sneak out into the forbidden forest or black lake. We got to know each other more and more.
It did turn that he kept a secret. One, he couldn't share with me. I understood why, he was a death eater. He had the mark. I noticed it when we made out the morning after we had sex. He didn't really like to talk about it much.
Which honestly made sense. We did occasionally talk about the mark. He revealed a lot about himself that night. Who his parents was, what they did. How he was the witness of it all. He later thought he was going to be just as crazy and psychotic like his mom.
I comforted him through it all. That's why we stayed friends. I never saw him any differently than what I saw my friends. I just saw them for them. The mark didn't really matter as much. Well at least not to me.
I was sitting with Pansy and Draco. Blaise had gone somewhere with Thei. It was a Sunday which meant we had school tomorrow. Pansy had her arms crossed and gave me a judging look. I rolled my eyes at her. Pansy never scared me unless she was either angry or literally a mom.
"I'd get Mattheo, I honestly do. But Tom fucking Riddle. Are you serious?" She asked.
"He's not that bad, Pans. We've been hanging out quite a lot." I tried to reason with her.
"Yeah, and where does that get you? Sneaking out, going to locations we shouldn't be in the first place. I don't know you two possibly fucking there as well." She lectured.
"No, we haven't fucked, Pans. Also we're Slytherins, we always break the rules." I said resting my arms on the table.
"She's just overprotective, Eth. There's nothing wrong with it." Draco said.
"I know, but come on I'm just giving him a chance." I replied.
"As long as he knows, we'll be after him if he breaks you heart." Pansy threatened.
I smiled at her. Pansy was always the mother in the group, and it really hasn't changed. She loved to lecture us as if she was a parent, that what makes her so fun to be around with. After breakfast, Pansy and I decided to go to Hogsmeade. We didn't have anything to do, so we decided to buy some dresses for her and suits for me. Since an upcoming event was going to happen at Malfoy Manor.
Draco invited us for the summer break to participate in an event at his manor. We didn't know what it was exactly, but he told us we had to wear formal wear. The colours in choice was either Black or Green. Pansy being the stubborn girl she was, bought a black, short dress with a slit and green glittery heels. She chose a black choker and silver diamond earrings as her accessories. Honestly, seeing her in that dress I knew she would leave the boys shook.
That's what she always does best. She seemed more capable of being a badass bitch. Probably better than what she was before. Before, I meant first year. We're not going to get into that. That story is for me to keep and for you not to know.
I brought a black suit, with a jade green tie. I decided to go full out and bought me an emerald stud to wear. What, I wear earrings. They're very fashionable. And really beautiful jewelry. We finished up and walked back to Hogwarts.
It was 16:48 pm. I couldn't believe my eyes. We were gone for almost three hours. Well, it was shopping, there was no harm in that. I brought my bags into our dorms. Pansy took hers to the dorm she shares with a Slytherin and Daphne Greengrass.
Daphne was Astoria's sister, but they were nothing alike. She was actually decent, more kinder than Astoria. We kinda became good friends. But she was forced to hang out with Astoria. Since, well, they're sisters. Yet, Daphne never seemed so pleased about.
"Finally, you're back." Draco whined snapping me away from my thoughts.
"You could've snogged Harry by this time." I smirked.
"You know?" He asked.
"Of course, I know. After the night I had with Tom, I came back to get clothes and saw you two snuggled up and sleeping soundly." I explained.
"And you couldn't wake us." He crossed his arms.
"In my defense, you two seemed comfortable. Besides I'm not going to tell anyone." I told him.
"Thanks Eth, it means a lot." He smiled.
"Just to get one thing clear. You break Harry's heart, I will break your bones." I warned him.
"I didn't realize you had a scary side to you." He said quietly.
"I don't usually use it. Besides when it comes to Harry, he's my first priority." I said leaving.
I knew Pansy would be busy talking to Daphne so I decided to go to the Black Lake. I wanted some quiet time and to think to myself. With Harry and Draco being together and secretly have dates and whatever they do, and with thinking about confessing to Tom, it was a lot. Honestly, the past few weeks at this school makes it stressful. This year I met Tom and thought he was an ass and when I got to know him, he wasn't one. He made my days, I made his.
As cheesy as it sounded, he felt like the one. I wasn't really very much experienced, but I tried to bring my part too. I was falling for him and I was so close to loving him too. I heard something behind me and turned around. I wasn't as surprised, but at the same time surprised to who I saw. Mattheo.
I didn't exactly know why he was here at all. I know the Black Lake was quite popular, but it wasn't really used at the evening.
"Potter." He acknowledged me, his tone slightly cold.
"Riddle." I said back.
If we were on last name bases, I might as well use his. I didn't expect him to grab my wrist, but he did.
"We need to talk." He demanded.
"A little bit too late for that, Riddle. Now let me go, I've got somewhere to be." I said, looking him straight in the eyes.
"Between Tom's legs, sucking him off? Be my guest." He threw me against a tree.
I didn't fall, but I've hurt my back pretty badly. It will leave a bruise, that would be gone by two to four weeks time. I gave him a death stare and walked towards him.
"Don't think just, because we kissed, it meant anything. Because, Riddle, you have no idea what love feels like. You kissed me, not the other way around. You do not own me, nor do you control me." I said angrily. "Now unless you've got a good excuse to why you just threw me into a tree, then I'll listen, but for now, stay the fuck away from me."
I walked away, I couldn't handle him. What made him think I was an object? He didn't mark me or have his name on me. So why would I listen to a prick who decided to ghost me.
"Just listen." He yelled. "Please." He said the word quieter than the rest.
I turned to him. He had a confused expression on his face. Was he... fighting his feelings? I walked towards him.
"I'll listen." I told him. "But you got five minutes to talk, Riddle."
"Look, I'm not good at this emotion thing. I never was, but I gained feelings for you. I guess, I don't know how express it." He explained.
I smirked. "So you're jealous?" I asked him.
"What?" He asked confused.
"You're jealous that I'm dating your brother...well sort of anyways." I told him.
"Maybe." He responded.
I smiled at him. "See you around, Mattheo." I walked away from him.

Extra dialogue cuz they need it. I barely saw the chemistry between them in my previous version. Where's all the spice past-me?
