The sound of your heels clicking was heard as you rushed to the hall quickly as you've overslept. Your bag messily over your shoulder, your hair although brushed out was still a mess and you rushed with a mirror in one hand and applying lipstick with the other. A first year bumped into your side causing for your lipstick to smudge onto the side of your face. Quickly you tried to get it off but it already stained.
You go to your seat which is next to Tom and sit down quickly taking a portion of toast.
"Hey, how was your night?" You say to him but he doesn't respond, instead he looked straight ahead.
"Tom?" You spoke up again. With this Tom stood up and left the great hall. That's when you notice lots of people staring in your direction and whispering. You start rubbing your cheek more thinking that the lipstick stain was the thing making everyone stare. You rush to the bathroom, and somehow manage to get it off and fixing yourself up for the day.
You sat in history of magic class alone today as your best friend wasn't in classes due to being away for family business. The whole lesson you were trying to justify Toms behaviour at breakfast however there was no reason for him to behave like that.
"Hey Y/n, how about me and you tonight, eh?" Spoke up a boy from Gryffindor named Austin who has now sat down next to you.
"What? Ew no. You know I have a boyfriend" you replied giving him a weird look.
"But you were making out with Malfoy before breakfast today, so why are you all of sudden acting so devoted to your relationship?"
"No, I wasn't doing anything with Malfoy ever, go away"
"Everybody knows, everybody knows about what you and Malfoy have done, you can't lie about it" he said now smirking.
"Have fun with Tom whilst you're still together though I guess" he finished making his way back to his friends laughing. The whole class was giving you judgmental looks whilst you couldn't even defend yourself.
Lunch came around and you sat at the table by yourself hoping for Tom to come. Fortunately, he came in but wouldn't dare to look in your direction. Quickly you stood up and speed walked to him and grabbed him by the shoulder.
"Stop ignoring me". Tom stayed silence and got out of your grip.
"Tom, please" you pleaded.
"No, leave me alone, don't talk to me" he spat and continued heading to wherever he was going, leaving you in the empty corridor as tears started forming in your eyes.
After lessons, you made your way to the Slytherin dungeons still wanting to talk to Tom. You approached his dorm and knocked on it however he didn't answer it. You pushed his door open and saw him sat at his desk, his back towards you. You entered his dorm, and shut the door behind you quietly.
"Tom, please, can we talk?"
"No, I told you not to speak to me, since I'm clearly not that important to you, seeing as how you can't respect our relationship"
"I didn't do anything with Malfoy, I promise"
"So you're trying to tell me they're rumours?" He said as his tone got angrier and louder, with disgust being shown in his face.
"Yes, I don't know who or why everyone says I did som-"
"Save it, word of mouth doesn't lie, especially since Malfoy himself admitted to the things you have done together" he now shouted, scaring you.
"I've done nothing with him, or any other boys" you cried out to him, tears now spilling as your lip quivered.
"Get out". With that you left with your heart aching like never before.
Over the next week, when ever you tried to speak to Tom, he would ignore and treat you as if you were nothing to him, just as what he treated the people he called 'mud bloods'. Students looked down at you as vulnerable and as a cheater now. J/g/n torments got worse, as she joined in on the hate train. It was like your life was crumbling down.
Friday evening has come around, marking 11 days since the incident. The other Slytherins were organising a party in the common room. Usually you would go with your friends, and Tom would stand in the corner with his friends observing the scene. You were feeling too depressed to go, not wanting to speak to anyone anymore, especially Tom as he didn't bother listening to you but believed someone else over you. Your friends offered to stay with you the night but you didn't want to be a burden on them so successfully you convinced them to go out and have fun. You laid in bed that evening, loud music not allowing you to sleep. Eventually you did manage after another night of crying and reminiscing.
It was still the night, when you heard your door quietly open, and someone walking in. You kept your eyes shut not wanting the person to know that you were now awake. The floorboards creaked under their feet giving away that they were now stood above you.
"I know you're awake Y/n" Tom spoke quietly, being the opposite of what he was before, as he was was now tucking hair behind your ear as he knelt down beside your bed.
"Go away, I don't want to talk to you"
"I know you were saying the truth, Malfoy admitted that he lied" he sighed before continuing.
"Please, let me make it up to you, dinner, at your favourite place, on Sunday at 7, please, I beg, my love" he finished, now caressing your hair.
"Fine, but don't talk to me until then" you replied trying to get out of his touch but smiling.
"Anything you want, thank you my love" he announced with guilt and relief being heard in his tone. He kissed your temple before standing back up and leaving your dorm.
