Griffindor Studying

After potions class the next day Hermoine Granger a member of the mudblood crew apporched me.

"Mint I know it's been a while, but I was kinda hoping we could study together." She said. Snap what do I know? Recently I've just been studying then Tom would join in. Plus Hermoine is one of Harry's best friends if she found out. Ugh I don't wanna think about.

"Are you alright?" Hermoine asked breaking me of my thoughts.

"Yeah I'm fine sure we can study together." I said my mind one hundred percent blank.

"Great tommorow in the library after classes sound good?" Hermoine went on.

"Perfect." I said nodding. Hermoine then went on to join Ron and Harry in the courtyard. Now what Tom will probably be annoyed cause he can't be out in front of Hermoine most likely. I don't know how well she knows the look of young Voldamort. Hopefully not at all.

"You best have a plan." Tom said appearing behind me. I turned around and there he was sitting on a stone lion's petastal.

"I kinda panicked." I said awkwardly.

"So cancel." Tom said jumping down.

"That wouldn't be fair to Hermoine." I said.

"And I should care why?" Tom asked walking over to me.

"She's a member of my mudblood crew." I explained.

"Again why should I care?" Tom asked crossing his arms.

"Why should you care if I study with her anyway?" I asked.

"It takes away from my time out." Tom explained.

"Wow selfish much." I said deadpanned.

"Excuse me for preferring my freedom over you socializing." Tom explained.

"Riddle I know you like your freedom what little you have, but." I let out a sigh "if I act well weird people will think something's up, and who knows what'll happen if the ministry learns about all of this."

"Your scared." Tom smirked.

"Of course I am!" I shouted at him. I don't normally shout that loudly. My eyes stung with the coming of tears. I started breathing deeply trying to prevent myself from crying. Tom watched me looking rather shocked.

"Humans are naturally scared of the unknown." I said calming down.

"There's no need to be." Tom said putting a hand on my shoulder. I took a steep back and crossed my arms.

"Easy for you to say as far as we're aware you can't die." I said angrily.

"Yeah but...let me help." Tom said holding his hand out to me. He looked almost sad and slightly unsure. I took a deep breath then took his hand. He smiled a genuine smile. Eyes never lie, they can't.

"Is that a true smile I see?" Asked smiling.

"And if it is?" Tom asked holding my hand.

"It's nice." I said smiling.

"Whatever can we go now?" Tom said his face a light shade of pink.

"Sure come on." I said leading Tom to the library.

"You can study tommorow with Hermoine." Tom said as we walked through the bookshelves.

"Not why we're here." I said taking him to the hidden library. "I figured sense I'll be studying with Hermoine tommorow. I'd let you do some studying of your own." I explained sitting down on the couch.

"Thanks." Tom said picking up a book then sitting next to me. "You gonna read anything?" Tom asked.

"Right after I update my notes after all my recent attempts of getting rid of you have failed. Needless to say I'll be recording the affects on you." I explained.

"You mean the potion fails." Tom said annoyed.

"Yeah." I said grumpily. Tom laughed then returned to his book. I couldn't help but smile then for some unknown reason I ruffled his hair. I then went on to recording some notes. I don't know if Tom even noticed that I messed with his hair. We stayed down there for as long as we could. Sitting back to back on the couch reading sometimes telling the other about what we learned.

...

I woke up early the moon still in the sky. Tom sat by the window staring up at the moon. I found myself unable to stop staring. Seeing him sitting there staring at the moon. He looked so lonely. The moonlight made his eyes shine. He looked at me breaking me from my thoughts.

"Mint you're doing it again you weirdo." Tom said.

"Look who's talking." I mumbled.

"If you have something to say, say it Mint." Tom said standing up.

"It's nothing." I said.

"Liar." He said walking over to me.

"I should try to go back to sleep." I said rolling over.

"Fine but this isn't over." Tom said.

When I woke up again the sun was up and it was time to get ready for school. Placing Riddle's diary in my desk drawer I quickly got ready for the day. The day pasted rather quickly at least to me it did. I stopped by the girls bathroom for a breather before meeting up with Hermoine.

"Is everything ok?" Tom asked appearing behind me.

"Yeah everything's fine." I said.

"Uh huh what's wrong?" Tom said.

"Nothing." I said. "Now get back in the book."

"Fine but I know something's wrong." Tom said before disappearing. I took a deep breath then headed to the library. I proceeded to study with Hermoine staying at least one step ahead the whole time. Which helped Hermoine now and then. We came up with little songs to help us remember bits of information. It was fun in a way.

"Do you mind if we study with you guys for a bit?" I heard someone ask behind us. I turned around to see Ron and Harry. I looked at Hermoine.

"Well?" Hermoine asked. I nodded and they sat down. The four of us studied together for a while before the three of them left to go do something. The whole thing had been awkward. I headed to my room and waited for dinner Tom didn't come out for some reason. During dinner I talked to James and ignored Olivia when she asked about Tom. After dinner I went to my room and Tom still wasn't coming out.

"Tom?" I said looking at his diary.

Nothing. I shrugged and got ready for bed. When I was done I thought about  sending a message to Tom. Turns out I didn't need to just as I thought that he appeared on my bed.

"What have you been doing?" I asked but he didn't answer he looked mad.
"Are you mad at me?" I asked he looked away from me. That's a yes but why? "Why are you mad?" I asked highly confused.

"You studied with Potter!" Tom said angrily.

"I don't see what the big deal is?!"

"Of course you don't." Tom mumbled angrily.

"Then explain it to me." I said Tom let out a sigh.

"Fine, Potter defeated me so you studying with him is a insult to me." Tom explained I didn't understand it very well, but noted stay away from Harry. "Do you understand?" Tom asked standing up.

"More or less." I said "but I get it stay away from Harry."

"Unless you're bullying him." He commented.

"Yeah well I don't intend too." I said.

"That's a bummer." Tom said smiling. I rolled my eyes smiling.
