Never again (Tom Riddle x reader)

Chapter 30

Chapter 30

The rest of the evening was uneventful subtracting the fact that Riddle had invited Y/N for a private Death-eater meeting. Clarifying that she needs it because she's a new addition to the organization and there is a lot she must know.

"Good, you're finally here." Riddle said as Y/N entered the room of requirement, it wasn't the same room she was cursed in it was the cozy one Y/N enjoyed staying in. "Yes, how may I be of service?" She asked, not even sarcastically, before today Y/N did not truly comprehend how serious Riddle was with this plan of his, though since he had cursed her and killed an innocent student, her confidence and safety had levelled down. "What?" He laughed out as he looked at me, a smile that did almost reach his eyes, Y/N almost let out a laugh too, at that moment he didn't look like a murderer at all. "Nothing, did you want to talk about something?" She asked again, coming further into the room and setting her satchel down on the floor by the pillows. "Yes, take a seat wherever you'd like." He said and went to one of the cupboards that was in the room.

He sat down in an armchair right in front of her with a serious expression. "I believe that the events of this past week have made you aware of the severity of this situation." Riddle said Y/N nodded knowing well that this wasn't the time for her smart mouth. "The Salazar Slytherin's Basilisk killed that muggle-born today. I told it to kill her. It was just the start of my plan; the killings are going to continue." He said looking at a small notebook that had his initials engraved in the leather cover, Y/N had eyed it before, after they came back from the pubs one night, she felt it was of some significance.

For the next few hours Riddle proceeded to tell all about Salazar's hate for muggles and their gifted children that made the wizarding world unpure and disgusting. Further he told her about all the spies in the dark arts department and the safety department of the Ministry of Magic. The back of Y/N's neck shivered at the thought that rats were everywhere to help kill innocent people. Riddle noticed it but did not mention it. 'Best for last' Y/N thought as Riddle was telling her about how he would create horcruxes for himself to achieve immortality. It made Y/N seriously sick to her stomach, Riddle was sick and she was now stuck with him, what scared Y/N the most was the fact that Riddle was smiling as he spoke, proud of his plans and values.

 
"Now get on your knees." He said as he straightened in his chair, Y/N started to panic and looking for the door and her heart made a trip to the pit of her stomach, Riddle huffed "Not like that, I will make you swear to never speaking of it with someone who isn't associated with me, I have to keep myself and the plans safe, from now on I am your lord ." He said and pulled out his wand to give to her, startled and scared Y/N froze in place, this was no child's game anymore, this was real life and real lives, Y/N held in a breath and got on her knees in front of him, she took his wand and pointed it towards herself.

" I give you my silence as others give prayers.
Not to God, not to light—but to you.

What you dream in shadow, I will bury in myself.
What you name only in whispers, I will never lend a voice to.
Let my breath fail before your secrets do.

If ever my tongue betrays you,
if ever a single word escapes me and seeks another ear,
then let your wand remember my name.

Let it find me without mercy,
without hesitation,
as surely as I have chosen you.

Until then, I am a locked door,
a sealed page,
a silence that belongs only to my lord."

She finished bowing and looked up at Riddle who was puzzled, his face plastered with guilt and regret for what had just happened, Y/N gave back the wand to its owner and stood up putting her head low, not even noticing Tom's emotional state. Though he stood up as well, now merely inches apart from each other their breaths hitched in their throats Y/N still wasn't looking at him in the eyes, Tom spoke up and Y/N looked right in his brown eyes, illuminated amber from the fireplace not too far away from them.
