Bad Romance

BANG! POW!

-From your POV-

Alex and Victoria wearily followed me to the library where I knew Tom was on prefect duty. I walked straight up to his desk and knocked on the top, focusing his attention on me instead of the book he was reading. "Y/n," he said. I could've swore I saw some type of emotion in his eyes, but now was not the time for that. I gave him a quick smile.

"Anyone in here?" I ask him. I moves his head around for a moment before turning back to me. He shakes his head no. "Excellent." I use my wand to flick the door shut and lock it. He gets a confused look on his face. I turn to Alex and stretch my arms out. "Now is your time for redemption." he clenches his jaw and glares at me. I point my wand at Victoria who is now shaking with fear.

"I don't understand, what's happening?" Tom asks in confusion. I turn my head to him and smile.

"Nothing, my love, just cleaning up someone's mess." I said before turning back to Victoria and Alex. Alex looked at my wand pointed at Victoria and then looked down at the ground as he pulled his wand out. He focuses his wand and his attention on Tom and begins to say the spell he messed up backwards. It sounds like a bunch of mumbo jumbo, but as long as he does it correctly this time.

"Sutarebil naillepxe!" he says as he flicks his wand at Tom. A bright gold light smacks Tom square in the forehead and I tuck my wand into my boot as I make my way over to him.

I kneel down on the floor and place his head in my lap. I gently stroke his hair as I watch his eyelids flicker. "Y/n?" he mutters out. Victoria, Alex, and I all tense up in anticipation.

"Tom?" I say back.

"What the hell has happened?" he asks me. By this point, we aren't 100% sure if this is a success or not.

"So so much my love." I say, still stroking his hair. Without his face moving at all, I see his pupils expand like crazy. Based on this reaction, I know it was successful. I feel a genuine smile grow across my face and soon, a small one consumes Tom's as well.

"You're really gorgeous when you smile." he says to me. I lean down and kiss his forehead before standing up and then helping him to his feet. I was met with the nervous face of Victoria and the disappointed face of Alex. And then I feel it. The little tick in the back of my mind that reminded me what Alex did and why. I can feel my temper starting to rise already, and I debate whether or not to tell Tom. I know if I do, Tom will kill him in cold blood in front of Victoria, which is not ideal at all. But sometimes, revenge is like Russian Roulette.

"You know what Tom, I'm going to catch you up on what happened." I say as I cross my arms and an evil grin. Victoria and Alex's eyes both widen and they both start to slowly shake their head no. "What? Never heard of 'whoever stirs the pot has to lick the shit spoon'?" I ask them both. "So, Victoria, decided to medal into the death of Aria and was trying to use dark magic to investigate you. In the process, she summoned an evil spirit that basically possessed you and was feeding off your energy, you would have died." I tell Tom. I can see him tightening his jaw and glaring at Victoria.

"But, w-wait, Y/n," Victoria pushes out through tears. "...how do you know Aria is dead?". Oops! Guess I forgot that detail. I shake my head and walk over to her, sticking my wand to her chin.

"Aria was too nosy. She found out something that she shouldn't have." I say calmly. By now, Victoria is full on sobbing hysterically. "Victoria I threw you so many bones and you never seemed to catch one. I told you to stop being so curious and nosy, but you just couldn't,could ya!" I poked the end of her nose with my wand and then turned my head to Alex. "Oh, and love, don't get me started on what Alex has done-" I start but Alex cuts me off before I could finish.
