-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-From your POV-
I had figured that the best time for me to sneak the letter into the headmaster's office was during the lunch time when most of the teachers and other staff were off talking among themselves. I was sitting in Dumbledore's class next to Tom, shaking my foot. He reached up the table and placed his hand down on my knee to stop my foot. I kept my head straight forward but slid my eyes to the side to look at him. He was still looking straight forward, but still whispered. "You're freaking me out.".
"Tom Riddle gets freaked out??" I whisper in a mocking tone. I just grin and lean back in my chair and cross my arms. He kept his hand on my knee which oddly calmed me down. The bell rang and I stood up and started packing up. "I'm about to try and sneak it in." I say to him. He looks up at me.
"Do you need help?" he asks me. I think for a minute and then shrug.
"A distraction might be useful." I tell him as we begin walking out of the room. Just as I said that, we both look up and see Draco in front of us. I feel a wide grin come across my face and then Tom and I look at each other at the same time. I see he's also evilly grinning, so I know it's about to be good.
"Meet me at the Quidditch fields when it's done." he says as he leans down and gives me a quick kiss on the cheek. I hold my grin as I pick up my pace, sliding through crowds of students and make my way to the office. From behind me, I can vaguely hear Tom pick some type of fight with Draco and a bunch of students clamoring. Before I'm completely out of sight, I turn my head to look while I keep walking and seeing Tom and Draco fighting with different spells and charms. Whatever happened, Tom had charmed beetles to come out of Draco's ears, Draco turned Tom's hair pink, and then Tom set Draco on fire. Talk about an extreme escalation.
I just giggled and turned my head back around and kept going. I passed a lot of administrators who were running to the hall I came from. I decide to pick up my pace, and my brisk walking turns into a small jog.
I peek into the headmaster's office and see that it's empty, but locked. Damnit. I pull the pin in my tie out and begin picking the lock, checking over my shoulder every so often. I manage to open it a few minutes later and quietly close it behind me as I slip in and find a good spot to leave the letter.
I quickly look around and then decide to put in at the top of file folders on his desk. Then all the sudden, I hear footsteps in the hallway approaching. Shit. I look around and see a closet and open the door and step inside. I can just barely see inside of it that there's a section of confiscated items. Sweet. I feel my mischievous smile come back as I begin scanning through the items. Mainly cellphones, broken wands, forbidden charms and spells books, an adult magazine, and then this cloak. I picked it up and rubbed it between my fingers. Why would a cloak be confiscated. I put it on and pretended to be a ghost and then turned around to look in the small mirror on the other side of the wardrobe, but didn't see myself. My eyebrows furrowed and I pulled the cloak off me, and watched as I kept appearing and then disappearing in the mirror. An invisibility cloak? I mulled over the possibility of this for a few moments and then shrugged. "It's not like you have many other options." I mumble under my breath as I put it on again.
I take in a deep breath and then very slowly push the door open. I open it just enough that I can squeeze out and watch as the headmaster simply looks up from his desk at the closet door, before standing up from his chair and pushing the door close. His hand was inches from my shoulder, causing my heart to pound like crazy. He sat back down at his desk. Luckily, for whatever reason when he came back, he left the door open, so I just quietly walked out and went back down the hallways.
I smiled and quietly chuckled to myself as I just finessed the cloak that seemed to make me invisible. "I have an idea." I say with a small grin as I begin making my way to the Quidditch field. I see Tom sitting in one of the stands, kind of slouched down so that way his profile is low, and he's looking around, waiting for me. I got up so I was going to be really close to his face and then yanked the cloak off my head. "I'm here!" I say in a loud and cheery voice. He was so startled that when he shouted, his arms flailed up and he fell backwards. I was laughing so hard it hurt so I placed one hand on my stomach and the other stretched out to help him up.
"I don't think I want your help." he says as he shifts back to his seat and brushes himself off. I finish off laughing and sit down next to him.
"You should've seen your face." I say in between gasps.
"Yeah mhm. Anyways..." he says, before looking at the cloak. "Where did you even get that?" he asks me.
"Well, when I picked the lock of the office, I planted the letter and then I heard him coming in so I had to hide. I hid in this closet that had a bunch of confiscated stuff and this was in it." I say as I put it back on, concealing myself. "And that," I take it back off. "makes you invisible." I say to him.
"You're keeping this for future use, aren't you?" he asks me. I smile at him.
"Of course I am." I giggle out. "So, can you fill me in on your little fight with Draco?" I ask. He smiles deviously at my question.
"I caused a distraction." he says.
"Mmm. A distraction, yeah?" I say with raised eyebrows. He shrugs.
"Some people have different methods, you know?" he said. I was smiling at him and our faces were close together until we heard shouting on the end of the field.
"THOMAS RIDDLE AND Y/N SORCIER! GET BACK HERE!" a teacher yelled from across the field.
"Oh shit." I said. Tom jumped to his feet and grabbed my arm.
"Time to visit Slug." he said and with that, we darted off the field and raced into the building.
We ran down some of the corridors and zipped around corners until we got to Slug's room. We ran inside and slammed the door behind us. We leaned up against the door and panted as we listened carefully to the footsteps running straight past the room. We silently chuckled and grabbed each other's arms. For someone running a school, administrators aren't that smart.
Once we finally caught our breath, we looked around and called out to Slughorn, expecting him to be there, and when we found that he wasn't we just looked at each other. I dropped the cloak on one of the desks and looked back to Tom. As if our minds were on the same brain wave, our hands found each other's faces in unison and pull each other close, sparking up a make out session.
We had shifted so I was sitting on one of the desks and Tom was standing in front of me, between my legs. Things were getting more intense and Tom began trailing kisses down the side of my face, down my jawline, and past my neck. I can't remember the last time things weren't crazy and I actually got to be a girlfriend; recently, Tom and I were cleaning up messes caused by other people and it was utter madness. Honestly, it felt like we were going to be close to breaking up and I really didn't want that. I did love him. He was my best friend and the only person that I trust in this whole school.
A lot of people thought that he was going to use me and break my heart; they assumed that he wasn't capable of love and that he was just distant, cold, and short with me, like he was to everyone. But that wasn't so; to other people, Tom was all those things but around me, I saw him smile, laugh, make jokes, he even hugged and kissed me. I didn't mind whatsoever. It was like he was some mystical dragon people tried to understand and I was the dragon keeper. I didn't mind the special treatment and sometimes, I would think about my future with Tom and all the great heights we would reach and would get so excited.
I really am in love with this boy. Very, madly, deeply, in love with him.
