Chapter 20 - death is not always permanent

Y/n was staring at her empty hands were the book was moments ago and wondered if perhaps she went too far, she had lost everything, her friends her fake boyfriend and now she stood alone in the library wondering just what to do, when she felt a hand on her shoulder, she jumped when he spoke “its ok y/n he gets a bit upset when others do things before him, you know how egotistical he is" malfoy laughed to himself while you compose yourself, you had completely forgot he was there but forgetting you’re grudge against him you begin to cry in his arms letting all the pain and anger wave out of you through rivers of tears, malfoy sat there stroking you’re hair as you cried not once trying to leave.
“So y/n I’ve noticed we don’t hangout as much as we did before, is it because of our parents?” you wipe you’re tears that were still falling and look at him for the first time in years and nodded, he sighed and waved his hand, summoning a house elf that bowed upon arrival “Master how can I be of assistance to you today?” the elf said while looking at you “I would like you to inform my parents that I do not wish to marry y/n l/n and that I can pick my own bride" the way he said it sent shivers down you’re spine and reminded you of how tom acted, returning a smile to you’re face once more, malfoy smiled back “there, our parents should leave you alone now, I didn’t realise they had done the same to you” you looked at him with a quizzical look and he elaborated “well I went back to my families beach house last winter and my parents tried to pressure me into marrying you, I told them you were like a sister to me and I couldn’t do that to you" you smiled brightly at malfoy finally realising how nice he was. “are we friends again?” malfoy asked in a pleading way putting puppies to shame, you nod and proceed to head back to the common room.
 
You notice the room grew quite when you entered it, smirking at the fear you caused in those around you, you notice your friends across the hall and run towards them.
“we can’t just abandon her, she’s are best friend" Bellatrix said to pansy as they walked towards there room, “but she’s not been a good friend lately, we tried to help her but she wants to hangout in the woods and leave us behind” you raise and eye brow and cut in “I never said you couldn’t come" both girls turn around to see you inches from them, startled they jump back into a wall, both rubbing there heads from the impact. “I am so sorry we were talking about you, please don’t hurt us" both the girls said in unison causing you to laugh “what are you talking about, I’d never hurt you, what made you think otherwise" the girls looked down and then through cries they hugged you “were sorry, its just.. he said you’d kill us if we talked to you again" you were lived, you knew exactly who had said that, lately it was like everyone you loved was now scared of you, leaving you all alone just what he wanted, so he could manipulate you, but you saw through his games, he was sloppy and you hated him for it. So without a second thought you went to riddles room, knocking so hard the door almost flew off its hinges.
“what is it now" Tom said half asleep, he soon woke up when he noticed a wand at his throat “oh I don’t know, why did you make me feel isolated from my friends" you say anger evident in every step you took, Tom blinked wondering what had caused the sudden change and then smirked “oh simple, I needed something from you and they were getting in the way, don’t think you’re special, once I’ve gotten you’re power you’re nothing to me. Tom spat out with so much malice you took a step back, the air around him was now suffocating, black smoke swirled around him making the once light room caved in darkness “you are no match for me" and with that the lights went out and y/n lay on the ground.
Tom smiled he was quite skilled with his magic so much so he didn’t even need to speak or hold a wand, he frowned once he didn’t see you breathing, true you had angered him and caused him grief but he didn’t wish you harm, so he frantically tried every spell he knew to bring you back, but after an hour you had turned blue and Tom had begun to cry he had never felt such loss before and vowed to return you to him, he looked at his diary and a thought came to mind, he stared at his diary and with all the hope he had he grabbed you’re soul and placed it inside of the ring hoping there was still anything left, after a moment he saw a slither of light and with that he placed the ring on you’re now cold finger and incited his spell, he had finally created his second horcrux.
Within a moment you’re chest began to breathe once more, Tom sighed in relief he hadn’t realised how much you ment to him until you were dead, but now that you were back he vowed to keep you safe.
 
“What the hell riddle" you said through gritted teeth “I didn’t intend for you to die" he said nonchalantly if she was nothing to him, you look in shock “wait I died?, then how am I alive?” You look around the room for any clues “as long as you wear that ring you will live" you look at the ring tom was pointing to “isn’t this you’re ring?” Tom nodded “I had to use it so you would live" Tom expected you to be happy or over joyed he had saved you but you were quite the opposite “so first you kill me then bring me back, what do you want a thank you, I hate you riddle and as of now, I am not going to see you again" and with that she vanished him from her existence, even if he was standing next to her she wouldn’t be able to see him.
Tom was stuck, it felt painful yet he hadn’t been hurt he didn’t understand the pain until she looked right through him and ignored him for days on end, he finally understood what his fellow students called love and it was ripped away from him.
 
It had been months since you had seen Tom you were happy living on cloud nine but you’re friends kept trying to give you messages or try to get you to see him, you just huffed, at the moment pansy was scoffing her face while Bellatrix was pleading with you once again “but he’s quite depressed, truly he can’t be that bad, he did bring you back" you just roll you’re eyes “its not the point, I am done, I don’t need him any more" the table looked from you to Tom who was sat opposite you unbeknownst to you, he scowled at the table and then left, he didn’t care anymore or rather that what he told himself so when he returned with a blond of the name Green no one battered an eye, Bellatrix laughed causing you to look up from you’re food “oh who’s this bella, got a new friend?” Bellatrix laughed once again Tom was enraged once again, she could see the girl next to him but not him, he was convinced she was making it up but she was taking it too far when you began to laugh “its so nice to meet you" you placed your hand inches away from his as he tried to touch your hand it was like a barrier kept him from doing so, scowling he stopped trying and let green try, she had no trouble shaking you’re hand in greeting “so what brings you to are table?” you were interested in having a Hufflepuff friend as you had a friend from each house but Hufflepuff “oh Tom brought me over" she looked to her right were Tom sat, you didn’t even look his direction “oh what a pain, did he hurt you?” you smirk and pretend to look for injuries on the girl, causing Bellatrix to laugh once more and Tom to pout he had intended to make you jealous but that had back fired on him, so leaving the table he walked towards the library to do more research “were are you off to with a sour mood?” malfoy said while passing riddle in the hallways “has y/n still not forgiven you?” Tom shoved Malfoy’s arm off his shoulder and scowled at him “it is none of your concern if she has or not” malfoy shuck his head “so thats a no then, ok since I am feeling generous I’ll try to smooth things over with her, or at least try to get the spell off you.
