Wings of darkness (Yandere Tom Riddle/ Lord Voldemort x Reader).

Chapter 3: Secrets

It had been two days since Tom entered the dorm of Ravenclaw, it was also all the time you needed to understand how stubborn and proud he truly was. 

During the time you spent on the project your professor had requested, he would occasionally bring up parts from what you had written in your diary, which he still hadn't returned, and would ask a lot about your family's history.

Due to all of the above you had been spending less time working with him and more time working alone on the project, so all you did was have him agree on what the two of you would present... and that was it. 

That was all the time you'd spend with him, much to his displeasure. Through the diary he had discovered how curious you were and how much you had dug from ancient tomes and books related to the Dark Arts... yet you never used those spells. He could see how your gentle soul overpowered your desire for knowledge and despite liking a part of it, he mainly hated that about you. 

"I guess, we're done then. Tomorrow we will present this to the professor." You stated and he frowned, you had been here only for ten minutes and already you wanted to leave.

"Don't you think you should be a bit gratefull that I actually wish to spend my time here with you?" He asked and you raised an eyebrow, you would have scoffed at that but you had strong self control.

"No, not really. I just want this whole thing to be over. Also, I want my diary back." You replied sternly, you then turned around and left. Tom smirked, your stubborness and pride were charming in their own way, he had grown to enjoy your company... and though he was still unaware of it, he was developing feelings of love and affection for you. He brought your diary and then his own... he knew he had to take his plan to the next level already. He had delayed it enough and he was glad that you were going to be spared by what was about to come.

~ Four weeks later~

 You had been staying in your dormitory more often, as did many students due to some disturbing events. A girl named Myrtle Warren had been found dead and students were being petrified... there were no evidence nor was there any clues about who had done it. Professor Dumbledore had ordered the students not to be outside the dorms unless it was extremely important. Which somehow calmed you down since none of your friends would be in danger, it also meant that Tom wouldn't try to sneak in.

"Hey (Name), I'm going out for a snack, would you like something too?" A girl asked and you shook your head im denial. She then left the dorm as you laid back and closed your eyes trying to relax when you heard the door open, you wondered if it was the same girl and so you looked at her ready to speak when you saw Tom looking at you with a small smile.

"Why are you here again?" You asked with a hint of annoyance which didn't faze him at all, instead he came closer and sat next to you, looking at your laying form for a brief moment before looking directly in your eyes.

"I came for two reasons. First to give you this." He replied as he returned your diary, you were certain he had read everything but sighed, it wasn't like you said something like a crush or anything.

"And the second reason?" You asked and he smirked.

"To tell you that I will be in that little Christmas party you and those so called friends of yours arranged." He announced and you wondered if he spoke to Xavier, since they were both in Slythering it wouldn't be a suprise, then again he could have approached Jenny and charmed her into inviting him... William and Daniel were out of the question since you had heard them call Tom " a scally sissy".

"Was it Xavier or was it Jenny?" You asked and he laughed, he liked the fact that you would include options others would ignore when trying to come to a final decision or simply uncover a few matters.

"It was the Hufflepuff." He admitted and you sighed, Jenny had it coming after that.

"Well, now how about the third reason you don't want to mention?" You asked and he smiled before coming a bit closer.

"Remember that little riddle I wanted you to solve?"

"And which I still don't want to hear? Yes, I remember." You answered and he came even closer.

"Well, maybe now you do. It can help you with that little... problem that has been waltzing around, it can also help you discover something far more amazing than you think." He purred in a rather seductive tone, you began wondering about that girl Myrtle... then about the petrified students. Something was off here... you couldn't understand why one had died and the rest had simply been petrified.

You began wondering, a wizard would need time and he would need to blend in perfectly if he were to commit the act, still even if he did blend in with the crowd he couldn't be alone all the time and surely he couldn't always have so many friends to lure them out and attack them... unless the culprint wasn't a human... you thought back when you had read a book about a variety of creatures, there was a speciffic beast called "Basilisk the king of serpents", the chapter about them said that their eyes were their main and deadliest weapon since they could kill you if you looked directly at them. Was it possible that Myrtle looked directly in the eyes of a Bassilisk? But how could a creature that big hide in here? And more importantly where? Was that what Tom wanted you to solve?

"Are you suggesting that we have a Basilisk on the loose?" You asked and his eyes widen, well he wasn't expecting you to figure it out that fast but... he expected nothing less from a Ravenclaw.

"Indeed soo... would you like to play chase?"
