Chapter 23: Visiting a old friend

It's been a few months, since my Parents passing. I'm utterly numb I cannot feel a single thing besides dread. I've been staying at my house here in London I've missed half of my school year but I couldn't careless right now about my education and dippit allowed me too anyway, it was currently a muggle holiday Easter i didn't care to celebrate it i was at the dinner table awaiting for walburga to join me she's moved in with me since I now live alone. The doorbell rang a few times the house elf was too busy preparing our dinner so I answered it opening the door to reveal a face I haven't seen in a while.

"Cordelia" he spoke his voice as mesmerizing as always

"Tom" I spoke dryly. "What are you doing here?" I glared at him
He swallowed before answering

"I've missed you." He said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world I scoffed

"You missed me?! Well where was you these past months when I was at my lowest point you were nowhere to be found!" I yell angrily

"I'm sorry" was all he said

"I am too... goodbye tom" I shut the door on him but he stops me with his foot at the door I groan

"Please can I come in to talk" he said sounding desperate I only rolled my eyes and open the door wide for him to walk in leading him into the Dining room I sat down The house elf putting us both plates of food it passed a few minutes tom wasn't talking he was just looking at me

"So are you going to talk or just stare" I said taking a sip of my wine he cleared his throat and sat straight

"Yes, look I know I've been distant but that's because I found my father." he looks into my eyes

"That's great tom" I cut my steak
His face dropped he looked down at his plate

"I killed him" He said dryly
I looked up at him

"W-why?" I asked stuttering fear rising in me
He looked at me his eyes darkened a smirk etched on his face.

"He was bound to die anyway" he shrugs

"Tom.. you killed a innocent man... your father!" I said disbelief clear in my voice

"That filthy muggle isn't my father!" He yells angrily my eyes fall onto his chest a yellow locket hanging around his neck

"He deserves to die he left my mother and me on the streets while he lives happily in his mansion while he Sleeps with Whores!" The rage inside of him growing I didn't reply what could I possibly say tom was a very sadistic person it frightened me honestly I knew what he was capable of he's killed plenty of people he has a cult that kills Muggle borns. But what was i any different i come from a line of soul suckers, killers, murders, I cannot judge riddle because I was just as demented as him we are the same person. As bad as it may be

"Tom I'm afraid" I said truthfully

"cordelia I'm not going to hurt you" he scoffed

"I'm afraid you will hurt yourself" I slowly stood from my chair he glares at me

"Hurt myself?" He scoffs "look who's talking didn't I save your bloody life because of BLOODY MALFOY!" He slams his hands on the table i flinched

"Tom you're not in a good state of mind rig-" he cuts me off by using wand-less magic making me fly into the wall I hit my head really hard causing me to knock out.

TOMS POV
-
I lashed out on her but she deserves it she shouldn't say those things to me, 
I pace around the room so many thoughts running through my head.

FLASH BACK

I kick the door open to the riddle manor walking in seeing a old lady i point my wand to her and mutter two words she falls down to her death. I walked into the living room seeing two men sitting on sofas
