Chapter 21 - who is more strong willed

Tom sat in the library while malfoy smirked “what’s next in the plan, when will we get rid of you know who" Tom scowled “perhaps you haven’t noticed but I needed y/n to give it to him" malfoy looked at Tom as if he’d lost his mind “why can’t anyone else do it?” Tom scoffed “because you needed to want to kill him, something only me and her are capable of doing” malfoy  stopped himself from asking the obvious question, Tom sighed “he’d never drink anything I gave him y/n has more chance than me, plus who would suspect her" to that malfoy nodded and began to head towards the hall, leaving tom to his research once more.
 
“So green are you and riddle an item now?” pansy asked clearly trying to make you jealous but you rolled your eyes and ventured towards the doors “if you’ll excuse me I have some homework to do and just as she opened  the  doors she walked into malfoy, “sorry, hey wait I need you for a second" malfoy said through panted breathing, you nod and follow him to the gardens.
The gardens were always you’re favourite place to go, it showed beauty in the darkness and reminded you of the hope in the World, you picked a red rose and looked at the thorns thinking back to the first time you saw them.
 
“Hey were are you taking me" you said while trying to get out of the boys grip, his blue ocean eyes glistened as they made it to the rose garden of his estate, “do you like it, I got it made especially for you" abraxas said though you could tell he was trying to be brave, you smile and hug him saying how roses were you’re favourite flower as they were beautiful but deadly he had said you reminded him of the roses.
Malfoy snapped you out of your trance when he picked a rose and handed it to you “so I need you to forgive Tom” you glare at him which makes him hold his hand out for forgiveness “I know what he did, I get it, but we need you, you’re the missing piece to defeat Dumbledore and you’re powers will be back" you start to circle the garden wondering if forgiving Tom was worth it but knowing he was the only one capable of doing such a thing, you sigh and brake the vanishing spell, to your shock he wasn’t there “so where is he?” Abraxas laughed well he’s in the library “are you disappointed he isn’t here?” you’re cheeks redden with each teasing malfoy gave you and before you knew it you were in the library with a face that looked like a tomato.
Tom was too focused on his book to pay attention to the entrance so hadn’t noticed you, you walk up to his table and yank the chair from him causing him to fall “ok I forgive you" Tom stared at you, he was angry but happy to see you were finally seeing him “if you were anyone else I would have killed you” Tom said through gritted teeth, you just smirked “but you already did"  that caused malfoy to laugh to ease the tension “any way, have you got the potion” you said while holding out you’re hand for it, tom rolled his eyes “do you think I would carry it on me?”  you begin to laugh “of course I do, I know you wouldn’t risk anyone else getting there hands on it" Tom rolled his eyes and grabbed the vile from his robe, he was getting annoyed at how predictable he was becoming, you wave and make you’re way to the kitchens “hey pinky" you say to an elf dressed in pink, the elf bows and comes towards you “can you give this to Dumbledore for lunch?” you say while giving pinky the laced wine it was odourless and tasteless  “but, miss we can not give the teachers something we have not made" you roll you’re eyes, going into the elf mind was like child’s play for you and making sure to give the elf a new memory of making the drink before returning to a smiling elf “very well, I’ll make sure he has it at once” the elf skipped along and then she heard it the chime of the dinner bell, or rather the chime of a new day.
 
 
You took you’re seat besides riddle and smile as you watch Dumbledore drink his wine, you’re smile soon faded when nothing happens “why is he still alive? Did you give me the right potion?” you turn to Tom who was smiling ear to ear “no just wait" as Dumbledore approached the stand he began to slump over, his voice weaker than it had ever been and the cries that echoed the halls were heard through out the castle, the barrier was fading and creatures were venturing inside the walls, the teachers hurried to Dumbledore’s side and most tried to repair the broken barrier.
Dumbledore was pronounced dead upon the arrival of madam Pomfrey, cries were heard through out the castle, monsters were sent back to the forest with the help of seventh years and teachers and the barrier was placed back up an hour later, but the damage had been done, Dumbledore was no more and no one could understand how it had happened.
You grabbed the wine while the chaos around you masked your presence, Tom smiled at how easy it was for you to do, he could have done it or rather gotten anyone to do it like malfoy had said but then you would still be ignoring him, just as he stared at you, he noticed power radiate towards you, but it was unlike his own, this was red and wild, he knew then that he had found the person for him, he would say it was her power to help shape the world with him and create a more powerful place to live but he knew as well as her that he wouldn’t survive without her for she was stronger than him.
Years  had passed you had managed to take down hundreds of auroras many of which were ten against one but you could kill anyone who dared come near you, just with a look.
Tom had become supreme, madness corrupted him becoming obsessed over being Immortal much to you’re annoyance you always slapped him when he got too far off the ledge but not too far back to be saved, so here you were in toms arms once again saving him from himself once more.
“You’ve got to stop this, yes you won the war and the auras have become you’re followers and yes you took over the world like you planned so what more do you need?” you had him by the throat pleading fir him to stop once more, he had already lost his brown eyes to red slits and his olive complexion to ghostly white but you couldn’t take loosing anymore of him, so you let him go an began to cry “you don’t need to have any more, just keep the ones you have safe” Tom looked around perhaps for the first time since the war had started and hugged you “I guess I got too carried away, I’m sorry, can you forgive me?” you look at his eyes and nodded “let’s go home".
You walk past all the broke houses and all the cries of muggles smiling as you walked arm in arm with tom he was smiling something you had hardly seen but as you made it to the small cabin on the outskirts of the woods you hear laughter radiating off the cabin and smile once more “I guess there up already" Tom sighed as he opened the cabin door to immediately be hugged by a small child, he had dark brown eyes and blond spiky hair, he was quite small and slim compared to his sister who was scowling at her brother, her black hair matched toms and her eyes green as the grass, but as she smiled down at her parents she wondered what the outside world was like, she had always been isolated inside the cabin unable to leave, just a caretaker for her younger brother but as her mother came to hug her all her worries faded away. “what’s wrong rose? Is Tom Jr being bad again? Do I have to hex him" you joke as rose smiles and Tom hides behind his father, Tom scowls at his son and moves him closer to his mother, while he wriggles in protest “I was wondering when I could go outside” you look at Tom and he scowls “its not safe, you’re not magical yet" to that rose looked up at her parents unsure of how to get magic “you don’t get it until you turn elven” rose scowled “but Tom jr has it and he’s only five” you laugh “well I guess he takes after me, don’t worry, you’ve only got a year left", to that the girl laughs and begins to wonder what magic she could possess while her parents look on holding there son smiling at the world they have made for themselves. “I still can’t believe this wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for slug horns potion" you say through giggles, “wait is that why my middle name is Horace” Rose says while she shoots up from her chair, Tom began to laugh “that’s right, we did make a promise after all".
