Pawn to Queen - Tom Riddle

So, minor change in the timeline, I changed it in the info chapter too, it's not the end of the halfblood prince, instead the beginning of the deathly hallows.

Sylvia's POV:

"Vi, Vi? Vi!"

"Huh?"

"Are you even listening?! Girl I've been talking to you for ten minutes now, how much of that did you pick up?"

"Oh uh sorry Cleo, a lot on my mind."

"Oh, class is about to start, let's hurry before we're late." I nod and get up following her.

We slowly make our way to class trying to not attract unwanted attention, with our heads low.

The deatheaters stood in the middle of the hallways, scattered around, making sure everything is in order. Every move under constant watch.

The familiar halls once occupied with students, laughing chatting with friends and running to classes, now quiet, dark and empty. The deatheaters had taken over the school, the headmaster was now Snape. The students were being treated like shit, well the halfbloods that is, the purebloods were left more or less alone and the older ones were deatheaters, the muggleborns were barely treated like humans, they were tortured and abused in the halls and no one would bat an eye.

I'm a pureblood, my best friend Cleo is a halfblood, but I make sure she's left alone the best I can. My older brother and twin, Regulus was forced to become a deatheater, he had an option as a pureblood, but he didn't want to of course, he did it for us, for me, being the sister of a well ranked deatheater saved me from some of the shit others had to deal with, and I'm grateful for it, but seeing how drained he is everytime I get to see him, which is rarely, and how awful he thinks of himself for his doings, breaks my heart.

We make our way to class and quietly sit at the back and the teacher walks in and begins the lesson. It's very quiet, and dull, everyone is bored and just wants to get over with the day, one step out of line and you could disappear, poof.

I wasn't really paying attention, I was more focused on after class, I've been called to the Malfoy manor, I wonder what they want now. Obviously something bad, I hope Reg's alright.

"Miss Black!"

"Y-yes professor." I stood up and some people turned their heads to stare awkwardly, while others didn't care.

"Where is your head? It seems to be elsewhere."

"My apologies."

"This is the third time this week, I better not catch you again, your special treatment won't save you all the time.

I sat back down enraged. Special treatment?! I would much prefer to be treated like scum and have my brother with me, safe and sound.

Cleo put a hand over mine to calm me, she understood how much this pissed me off.

I gave her a smile and waited for class to be over.

Luckily, the day flew by quickly, and it was time for my trio to the Malfoy Manor, something I wasn't looking toward to.

I decided to take a quick shower first to calm my nerves.

I stepped out, dried and brushed my hair, and stepped into a nice black dress, before leaving my dorm for the common room where a deatheater stood waiting for me.

"Ms Black." He addressed and I nodded.

He reached his arm out and I took it as we apparated out of hogwarts and stood in front of the Malfoy Manor.

He lowered his head and signaled me to continue forward as the huge doors opened and I carefully stepped inside to be greeted by Aunt Narcissa as she embraced me.

"Oh my poor girl, I'm so glad you're doing well." I smiled hugging her back. She always loved me, she was the only motherly figure I ever had, the only downside was Draco was my cousin.

She smiled dryly, she looked so drained from the past months.

She led me up the huge stairway to the meeting room and opened the door for me to enter, I wasn't a deatheater but I had been here countless times.

I slowly walked, letting my presence be known.

The dark lord wasn't here yet, only his deatheaters, among who stood Reggie, his face lit up as soon as he saw me and a smile took place on his lips. Beside him, stood Draco, he smiled slightly, he looked awful, they both did, these boys had been protecting me for as long as I've known them, my cousin and my brother. They both loved me, and I did too, one more than the other.

I walked in and stood beside Narcissa, across from Reg and smiled.

The door opened and instead of the dark lord, entered him.

Tom Riddle.

I could use many words to describe this man, but if I had to choose, it'd probably be asshole.

He stood beside the seat reserved for the dark lord and upon noticing me, flashed me a wicked smirk, while I looked down.

He has gone out of his way to make my life a living hell ever since I started hogwarts by bullying me every chance he gets.

He's the devil, with a pretty face.

He's a perfect student, always top of the class, teacher's favorite, best pupil, simply flawless in their eyes, little do they know what he's actually like, a kiss ass seeking approval, and validation, pathetic. But of course I never told him that, I simply kept quiet, year after year, trying my best to ignore him till graduation. Draco and Reg sometimes stood up for me, but they couldn't always be there. I don't know why but he's always found it more pleasing to pick on me more than anyone.

Now, he's a deatheater with Reg and Draco, carrying tasks, away from hogwarts, and now after months not having to see his pretty face every day, I'm back in the lion's den.

The door opened and everyone stilled and stood straight in respect for the dark lord

He took his seat and everyone followed.

Here we go.
