The other Marauder

Chapter 29

When Lizzy awoke the next morning,she rushed to the bathroom which thankfully,was conjoined in her current bedroom,courtesy of Tom.It was something unexpected,yes.But,as of recent,Tom Marvolo Riddle had been showing signs of kindness.And just few hours ago,she had turned herself in.And now,it was morning.And she was back to the toilet bowl,spilling her guts out.She had this the previous morning and the morning before that.In fact,it had been a week now.It was too early to know what was wrong.And she sensed it would just be the stomach bug.One she frequently had when she was younger.Maybe it was back?She couldn't be...could she?She shrugged it off and stood up,wiping off the puke from the corners of the mouth from the water of the rather extravagant basin that had a waterfall-like water spout.Heck.The whole toilet was extravagant.Complete with a waterfall shower head and a normal shower.Along with a marble tub and fancy looking toiletries with silk bathrobes and a plethora of facial products as well as hair products and Other kinds of products.

A crystal like comb was set on her vanity complete with different shades and types of makeup products.Hair jewelry and many more.

"Are you alright?I heard you from my room.Are you sick?"Tom asked worriedly.Something else she thought she would ever see.But,she still had all sorts of negative feeling knotted up in her.Anger.Despise.Fear.Disgust.Yet,she also felt Happiness and admiration?But,as for all that he had done for her and for the rather acceptable hospitality he had provided her with,she replied with a curt nod.

"Yes.I'm fine.Just the stomach bug."She paused and looked at the toilet which had another door-double door leading into another room.One she had yet to explore.

"Thank you,by the way."She said,gesturing to the fancy and luxurious toilet that had everything she could possibly need.

"Have you checked the closet?"Tom asked with a small grin,pointing towards he double doors in her bathroom.

Lizzy's eyebrows shot up and her eyes widened."I beg your-"

"Don't need to be formal with me,Lizzy."Tom sighed.She nodded and walked towards the double doors and pushed them open.Her mouth dropped to the floor as she found and entire closet with fancy floor length dresses,ballgowns,casual wear-T-shirts,shorts,jeans-,swim wear,knee length dresses,skirts.All kind of articles of clothing varying in length and color.She realized there was a staircase leading up into a second floor closet which had purses,bags.shoes,boots,flats.

She turned to Tom who leaned against the door frame studying her with a small smile.She smiled uncontrollably at him.All her negative feelings towards him disappearing yet remaining.He seemed to be a man of unending riches.

"What..."She whispered,awe struck by the closet that even had a crystal chandelier hanging from the top.

"Narcissa and Bellatrix bought them.Though,Bellatrix did seem rather reluctant to buy clothes for the 'enemy'."He chuckled.

She nodded and stared at the luxury before her again.Even her mansion didn't have such a numerous amount of clothing.Much less two stories of it.Gratitude filled her to the brim until she realized this could be his way of luring her to his side.Of drawing her in.Showering her with expensive gifts.Showing her kindness.It all had to be part of his plan in hopes of her giving into his demands and branding her with that foul loathsome dark mark.

She studied him closely with narrowed eyes.His brown hair was a mop in his head and his gentle looking electric blue orbs shined with power and authority yet softness and kindness.It was all too good to be true.She knew his plan instantaneously.He would pamper her.And possibly use the Imperious curse on her,using her as his tool,his war machine.Where he would mercilessly force her to slaughter anything and anyone in his path...even those she loved.
