Bad Romance

Vivian

-From your POV-

"Are you still PMSing?" I ask him. He just lets out a deep sigh and lightly shakes his head before looking at me.

"So, where'd you go off to?" he asks me as he eyes my necklace.

"Birthday gift from Tom." I say and he lightly nods. Then, his eyebrow scrunches.

"Why is there a drexel on your shoulder?" he asks me. I take Viper into my hands and extend them to Draco.

"Wanna pet it? It's named Viper." I tell him. He scoots back, trying to get away from it.

"God, no." he says. I scoff as I put Viper in my lap and pet it like a cat. "So now you steal animals from the school?"

"As if you didn't steal those vinyls?" I ask him skeptically. He looks back at the fire and leans his head against his fist.

"No, actually, I didn't." he says. My demeanor changes from cocky to baffled.

"Oh...."

"Not all Slytherins are kleptomaniacs." he says.

"It's not that I can't afford it, I just know I have the ability to get away with it." I say with a shrug and laughs before looking at me.

"You know my dad wants me to date you? He thinks your this perfect Slytherin who is cunning and sly, yet could do no wrong." he says with a laugh. My eyebrows go up, and then furrow in confusion.

"Why would he think that?" I ask him.

"Because he doesn't know you as well as I do, clearly." he says as he turns back to the fire.

"Yeah, not many people do." I say, facing the fire as well.

"And you do that on purpose, don't you?" he asks. I turn to him and we're facing again.

"What do you mean?" I ask him.

"You don't want anyone to know you, but you want everyone to know of you." he says. I start thinking about his words. "It's amazing how far Tom has got, and he hasn't even gotten you figured all the way out yet, has he? I mean, I've known you for 10 years now? And you refuse to acknowledge that you quite enjoy my company." he says. I look back at the fire and feel my thoughts intensify. Was he right? I didn't even have a response but I looked as I heard him stand to his feet. He stuck his hand out to me and handed me a  necklace. Oh my God, really?  "It's a growing potion. Don't use it unless you really need it." he says. It's a short suede string that has a small vile attached to it. The liquid inside is glowing blue and moving around. I look at it and then stand to my feet and look up, so we are now inches apart.

"Draco, I don't get it." I say shaking my head and my face painted with confusion. "Why'd you give me this?" I ask him. He looks at it and then back to me.

"You pour it on anything and it will grow it by 100 times for an hour." he says. He starts to turn to leave but I grab his hand and ask him again.

"Draco," I say in a softer tone. He lets out a soft breath and just keeps looking in my eyes.

"I'm not saying that he WOULD ever, but, that... thing... in the chambers. If he ever turns it against you, you have a fighting chance with this." he says in a serious and concerned tone. "Goodnight, Y/n." he says as he walks off, his hand gently leaving mine. I just walk him walk off as I realize it. Draco really does care about me. Like, genuine concern for my well being. I hold onto the necklace tight and put it into my pocket and decide to leave to my dorm.

I opened the door and saw that Vivian's bed was empty. I took one of her books off the dresser and threw it at the bed and when it landed softly on the pillows, I came to the conclusion that she wasn't here. Where she was? I had no idea, but I couldn't be bothered to care right now. My birthday had ended on a decent note, and I was going to take that and run with it.

Viper had fallen asleep in my sock drawer and I laid in my bed, looking at the growing serum. Would he ever turn against me and use the basilisk? I kept thinking about the possibility. Tom knew what all of my horcruxes were and even though I could speak Parseltongue, I couldn't control the basilisk; only heirs of Slytherin could. Which means..... Vivian. I sat straight up out of my bed as I realize where she went.

The Chamber of Secrets.

She's in the Chamber of Secrets. And who did she say she trusted the least? Tom.

She's going to try and go after him.

I quickly slide the serum into my robe pocket and slide it back on and frantically tie my shoes. It's only been about 45 minutes since I left Tom knocked out outside and the knockout gas usually lasted about 30-40 minutes, so I had no time to waste. I practically fell out of my door as I began trying to run out to the fields as stealthily as I could. When I got there, I ran straight into him. I almost fell over, but he caught me with his hands. "Y/n, what have yo-" he starts off and I can tell he's mad at me, but we don't have the time for an argument right now.

"Tom, Vivian is missing and I have a feeling she's in the Chamber, conjuring the Basilisk." I say and his eyebrow furrows.

"Only heirs of Slytherin can control it." he retorted. I put my hand on his shoulder.

"Tom, do you not remember? Part of your grandfather's soul is left with her. She is an heir of Slytherin." I say and at that moment, his eyes widen.

"Can the basilisk kill you??" I ask him.

"I... I don't know. I don't want to find out." he says. He steps to my side and I reach to grab his hand, but he moves it and keeps walking. Wow, okay then. I slightly shake my head and begin following him. My stomach starts doing flips and I begin thinking about my drexels and the serum Draco gave me, just in case we need it.
