Slytherin Sweetheart

Chapter Twenty One

They couldn't find him but eventually decided to just go back to school. They were sure he was there. However, when they checked his dorm he wasn't there. Everyone started panicking and y/n ran out to the quidditch field. He was there. He was practicing some spells on a target. He looked so hot. Y/n walked over to him and he accidentally hit her with a spell. She fell to the ground struggling to breathe until Tom reversed it. He ran over to her and carried her to Madam Pomfrey at the hospital wing. Madam Promfrey assured Tom she was okay she just needed some time to rest. Tom was relieved but felt absolutely horrible. "I'm so sorry doll. I would've never done that on purpose. Please forgive me." he whispered to her sleeping body. Y/n woke up to see Tom with red eyes and disheveled hair. She immediately hugged him and he almost started crying. Y/n asked him what was wrong but he reflected. *I could've hurt the person I love most.* his head kept saying. He didn't look in her eyes at all, he couldn't bare to. Y/n noticed this but was too tired to make Tom talk so she went back to sleep. A few hours later the nurse woke her up to run some tests and gave her the release papers. She was out of classes for the next two days.

The days went by quick and before she realized it, it was the day of Tom's big match. She had decided to go after finding him at her bedside on morning. She knew he wouldn't be around for the day but that was fine. At around 2 she headed out to the field. They announced Tom was on deck but he was no where to be found. She knew she had to find him. She started with his dorm but he wasn't there. The only other place she could think of was the forbidden forest. He'd talked about how much he liked it there before. She ran as fast as her feet could carry her and eventually made it to the edge of the forest. "TOM COME OUT PLEASE." y/n yelled not wanting to go in alone. She walked in and after a few feet she bumped into Tom. "Tom come on let's go. You're almost up." y/n said pulling Tom. He told y/n "I'm not going. You could've died. I can't do that again." Y/n continued to try and pull him but he wouldn't budge. "Look, I get it but i'm fine and this is a great opportunity for you. You love duelling. If you come with me now I will bring you breakfast for the next week." y/n smiled. Tom agreed and they ran to the field. They were hesitant but decided they'd let Tom duel. The match was only about five minutes in when Tom's opponent tapped out. Y/n ran up to him and he picked her up and spun her around. Tom went to go get changed and then he and y/n went off to dinner. Y/n told their friends all about the match, and Tom looked down smiling. No one had ever been interested in what he did like y/n had.
