Draco was clinging to Tom when they came down the stairs. He had literally had to force the boy down the stairs once Draco had calmed down a bit, because despite the fact that he really did not want to, he needed to address this issue rather quickly. He leveled a dark glare at the gryffindors, before sitting on the couch and allowing Draco to take refuge behind his legs, with his back pressed against the couch. He could feel the anxiety flowing from the boy from here, not a good thing, but it was a lower level than it had been before, which was a good thing.

"So," he began. "Who here does not mind telling me what exactly happened while I was gone? " the trio just debated on actually answering the question or not.Harry's eyes were hired to the Malfoy heir.The child was cowering behind Tom's thighs, desperately trying not to be seen. When Snape has said 'odd behaviors' this was most certainly not what he had in mind. Took cleared his throat,diverting Harry's attention back to him. "I do believe that the adults can leave,except for Sirius,and Severus." Tom said I'm a time that broke no argument. The asks all vacated the premises. "Now..." Tom began, leaning his elbows on his knees, and pressing his fingertips. He moved his thighs to effectively caging Draco between them, pressing them into the little ones rib cage sides, causing the tense boy to relax minutely. Tom smiled down at him. He slowed his voice to Rumble giving the boy a more relax pose, just slightly. It was enough help him a but though.He

"We can talk." They all looked hesitant. "So," Tom paused,causing the tense atmosphere between him and the perpetrators. "What exactly..." He extended the word. "Happened here while I was gone? Hmmm? It had to have been something."

"Well," Hermione began uncertainly. "We just played chess, and studied I guess." Tom made a humming sound.

" i see. " those around him began to relax, believing that he was calming down. "And that is the reason that Draco suffered what could have been a deadly panic attack had i not been there when I was?" His voice was biting.

Draco whined at the anger in Tom's voice, his body trembling in fear. He began clawing at Tom's thighs, trying to show the fact that he was distressed. Harry glared at Draco, and watched in interest as Draco whimpered and cowered back against the couch back, body shaking with renewed vigor. Both Tom and Severus growled at Harry, allowing their protective instincts over-take them. Harry just sighed, and stared at Riddle.

"Of course not!" Hermione shouted. "That is...." She trailed off as Riddle stared at her, eyes unblinking.

"We didn't know he'd have a panic attack." Ron finished. Riddle turned to him. Ron sighed heavily. " Okay, look, I know what we did was stupid, and dangerous, and if I found my romantic partner in the kind of situation Malfoy was in, I don't know how I would have reacted, but I am willing to bet it would be no better than yours. I also would never forgive them. " Tom simply watched Ron, saying nothing. Ron sighed. "I guess, what I'm trying to say is, can you give us a chance to make it up to you?" Tom became amused, seeing Ron tense at the expected outburst from the boy's friends.

All at once arguments broke out. The sound was cringe worthy. Tom's attention was instantly pulled to Draco. He saw him curled up against the couch, hands over his ears, body trembling in fear, knees pulled up to protect his chest. The sound was too loud for him in his newly returned state from such an intense sub drop.

"SILENCE." Tom practically hissed. All speaking stopped at once. Several guilty looking faced turned towards him when they noted the state Malfoy was in. Silent tears were streaming down the young ones face, as he tried to make himself as invisible as humanly possible.

Tom jumped off the couch and Draco whined in terror.

oh, Merlin! Draco whimpered at the sudden loss of heat. He felt himself panic and spiral downwards at the loss. He's leaving, he's leaving me alone! Alone with these Merlin forsaken Gryffindor morons. Did I get him angry? I didn't mean to. I am so useless. Stupid me like usual. Father was right want he? I'm just a worthless Slytherin. i should have...what did I do?

His tears began to increase until they were steadily flowing down the little heirs cheeks. Tom felt his heart crack at the boy's thoughts. He had thought that they had gotten past this. Tom watched the boy practically curl in on himself. Even Remus' werewolf instincts were going haywire at seeming the child like this. It was actually pretty funny that the child has such a profound impact on almost everyone who saw his true side. The Were was struggling to contain himself, and Tom could see the slightly elongated nails and teeth.

I cannot fathom how the child can rise the protective instincts of even the enemy of the veela. Tom thought. Werewolves normally don't have such a profound reaction to submissive veela. Which means he may be a mix. Has to be actually. He most certainly isn't human, perhaps a bit. Or at least something close to it. I shall have get Lucius to tell me.

"Hey," Tom said, injecting his soothing alpha male rumble into his voice. The boy whimpered and cowered further. Tom sighed. In front of everyone he snatched the boy, who automatically tried to struggle against him. Tom just held him closer and ignored the others gasps when they saw Draco bare his neck when Tom growled. Tom hummed soft praise in the other's ear and Draco relaxed minutely. Tom nuzzled Draco neck, before gently biting the boy's jugular with his blunt teeth, careful not to tear skin. Once more he resolutely ignored the shocked sounds coming from the pathetic Gryffindor behind him when Draco instinctively went into auto mode, and held an incredibly vulnerable and submissive position.

Once Tom bite his neck gently, Draco had moved his head to the complete side, giving Tom complete access to his neck, he had allowed his shoulders to drop. This itself would be a classic submissive position with eyes on the floor, as Draco currently were. But Draco had instinctively went further than that. He had allowed his arms to be restrained, pinned to his sides. Without struggle. He had rolled his head to where it was tilted downwards. His knees had collapsed under him the moment the bite took place, placing him securely in Tom's lap. He had leaned back unknowingly, into Riddle's chest, back bowed slightly. It was one of the most complete and vulnerable positions a submissive creature could give a dominant whilst in their hold.

Although Tom had not been expecting this, he officially has his answer. Only a soulmate would EVER react like Draco to such a simple dominate gesture. As well as the fact that the boy's breathing slowly evened, his tense body had instantaneously went lax, his thoughts had also slowed to almost nothing. This left him practically limp in his arms. Tom sighed content, wrapping a protective arm around Draco's waist.

"Severus," Severus' attention snapped to Tom instead of Draco. Yet another reason why there is no way the other is a Natural Alpha. "Get water. " Severus nodded and left. Tom then looked at the three Gryffindor students who were staring, mouth agape.

"You may attempt to make up for your wrong doing. But if I find out that you did anything, either directly or indirectly to harm Draco in any way whatsoever, I can promise you that I WILL hex you on the spot, and I don't care who is watching. You will all of you, be in the floor writhing in unimaginable agony."

" That-that...you aren't allowed to use the cruciatus curse on any being, to do so is instant life in Askaban. " Sirius said seriously. Tom gave all of them a smile that chilled them to the very bone.

"I think you will find there is a lot of complicated rules and laws when regarding our kind." Tom said coldly. " and I swear on my magic if Draco comes to harms way mentally,physically, or emotionally, I will curse you. And I think you will find that the ministry will have no choice but to release me,and turn blame onto you. Because you cannot incarcerate an alpha who was concerned for the well-being of his soulmate, no matter what he does. " Hermione instantly turned thoughtful,while everyone else paled dramatically.

A whine filled the Air.

Tom Was Instantly soothing Draco.

"Shh, It's Alright." He calmed, striking the child's hair.
