Four weeks later, I'm sitting in the library as usual, this time with Enzo and Evans. Tom comes rushing in and looks irritated because Enzo is getting far too close to me again for his liking. Although we still haven't clarified our relationship status, Tom can hardly stand the distance between us. He sits down next to me and looks at me expectantly. "Everything okay?" I whisper to him. As we sit and whisper quietly to each other, I feel the tension between us rising. Tom seems a little irritated by Enzo, and he's clearly not happy about the fact that he's getting too close to me again. But he's also eager to talk to me, and he wants to know everything that's been going on between us these past few weeks. The question of our relationship status is hanging in the air, and I can feel it in the way we are looking at each other and the way our eyes meet.
"Any news about...you know, do you know who killed my mom?" I say a little more quietly because nobody should really hear that. Tom shakes his head, and his expression becomes serious. "I'm sorry, we have no idea who's responsible for it. We've been investigating it for a while now, and we haven't gotten anywhere. There are some leads, but nothing conclusive." He looks at me with concern and sorrow in his eyes, and he takes my hand, rubbing it gently with his thumb. I nod disappointed, but I knew it wouldn't be that easy. But I'm not giving up hope, I know that the others are all behind me and will help me get my revenge. And I know that Tom is completely on my side in this, no matter what. He's going to help me get my revenge, and he's not going to let anything or anyone stop me. His hand is still wrapped around mine, and his gentle touch is reassuring.
As we all sit together in the common room that evening, Nott, Mulciber, Rosier, Dolohov, Tom, and I, Enzo comes rushing in like mad and puts a letter in our mid Enzo: "I've got it. I know who did it, " he says in an excited voice. Tom immediately tells him to keep his voice down and I quickly get up and grab him lightly by the arm "Tell me everything" This sudden turn of events grabs everyone's attention, and they all immediately shut up and listen to what Enzo has to say. The way he's speaking and the way he's acting with such excitement is enough to draw all their eyes towards him. I can tell they're all eagerly waiting to hear what he has to say. "Enzo! Go ahead!" I say again emphatically. He seems a little surprised to have us all hanging on his lips like this. Enzo's eyes flick to me and my intense expression as I encourage him to share what he knows. There's a moment of silence as he gathers his thoughts and tries to find the right words. Eventually, he starts speaking, and everyone listens intently to what he has to say.
Enzo: "I've spoken to people I know in the ministry, relatives rather. In the file... " he hesitates briefly."The file says there was a fight between wizards, purebloods, and muggleborns. She tried to mediate, and the muggle-borns killed her..." My face is stunned. That's not what the Minister told me, I knew it wasn't an accident. I knew there was more to it. "Do you know where to find them? The people responsible?" I ask him quietly. Enzo nods his head, and he takes a deep breath before he speaks. "My family in the ministry gave me a few names, some people involved in the attack, but they said they were just innocent bystanders. But I went on a search anyway. And I think I've found something. I think I know who was behind it. And I have an idea of where to find them..." I slowly let go of him and hug Enzo. Then I turn to Tom, who almost looks annoyed again at the hug "Tom, we have to get there now" Tom can see the anger and desperation in my eyes, but he doesn't think it's a good idea to rush it. He looks at me with concern, and he tries to restrain my urge to go after these people. He knows I'm hungry for revenge, but he doesn't want to see me rush into something that could be extremely dangerous. He speaks gently but firmly, and he tries to make me see reason. "I know that you're looking for vengeance, and you want to punish these people for what they did. But we have to approach this carefully and strategically."
The disappointment at his words is written all over my face and I look at him angrily as I say "Tom, you're not serious" as the words come out of my mouth, two cups burst on the table in our midst. That was me. Shocked, I look around, the others try to cover up what just happened and gather up the broken pieces. The sudden burst of anger causes everyone to jump and look around with concern, worried about the noise and destruction. Nott and Rosier look at me in alarm as they try to clean up the broken pieces and get everything back to normal. But I can't hide the fact that I was the one responsible for breaking those cups and that the whole incident was because of my sudden outburst. Tom reacts quickly and takes my hand, we walk towards his dorm. He nods to the others to clean up the shards quickly and inconspicuously. When we arrive, I look at him in shame. "I'm sorry..." I know the situation has drawn too much attention to me, but contrary to my imagination, Tom doesn't look at me with disappointment or anger, but with passion and desire. He just smiles gently, as if his desire for me was just amplified by my sudden outburst of magic. I can feel his eyes locked onto mine as he pulls me closer, leaning in towards me. He reaches his hands out towards me, and I can feel his desire and passion growing with every passing second. He wants me, and he can't wait any longer. I can feel the heat between our bodies as he pulls me tightly into his arms, and the moment is electric.
"What are you up to?" I whisper softly as Tom looks at me with desire. It's as if my magical outburst has turned him on. His hand holds my face, and the other clasps my hip, I wrap both arms around him. He leans in even closer, pressing his lips to mine. His arm wraps around my waist as he pulls me against his body, and he kisses me deeply and passionately. He can't contain his desire any longer, and he's eager to show me how much he wants me. His hands skim over my body as his lips continue to explore mine.
