smile↪ tom riddle

-chapter 15

Victoria and Tom left Professor Slughorn's Classroom.

Tom was about to go to his next class when Victoria called him.

"Riddle, wait!" Victoria called, stopping him

"Yes?" Tom politely asked

Victoria was so embarrassed that her ears and cheeks turned red. She was standing infront of Tom but her face was facing her foot while she was fidgeting her hands.

"I-I'm really sorry about what happened last n-night and... I understand if you don't wanted to tutor me — i mean i don't want to make you u-uncomfortable or something but i.... and thank you by the way for telling me about the first task. I do really owe you." She stuttered

Victoria wanted to just disapperate right now because of embarrassment.

In the other hand, Tom can't believe what he just saw. His lips is itching to surpass a smirk in success but he didn't show it. He was proud to himself for obliviating the memory where he tried to kiss her, leaving the rest of the memory of how he helped her to get her in bed or else, his plan will be a complete destruction.

Tom walked closer to Victoria and used his index finger to lift her face so they can look eye-to-eye.

"It's nothing, Cygnus" He replied casually as he showed his signature charming smile at the embarrassed girl while looking at her ocean eyes

Victoria can help but to surpassed a smile with her cheeks and ears still burning in embarrassment.

"I-I gotta go" Victoria stuttered once again as Tom's emerald eyes shine

Victoria walked away, still beaming ear-to-ear, forgetting that Tom was a bad guy, wanting to gain her trust and use her.

Meanwhile, Tom watched the girl as she walked away and finally, he let out a devilish smirk.

                              ⚰

The house of Slytherin gathered in the Defense Against the Dark Arts Classroom. Both girls and boys are separated. The room was full of noise of students, chatting to each other but suddenly, someone slam the door so loudly, catching the attention of the students and there they saw Professor Merrythought, standing.

"Settle down now, everyone!" Professor Merrythought shouted causing the Students to calm down.

Victoria felt lonely. Her friends we're in the different house and well, in her house, she doesn't have a real friend. She have been avoiding Ariana but Ariana keep talking to her so all she can do is nod even though she didn't understand what rubbish she been talking about lately.

Professor Merrythought started to discussed about the Yule Ball causing the boys to groaned in frustration while the girls squealed in excitement except Victoria who has the same expression in the whole time.

"Now, how about we have a volunteer aye? Let's see..." Professor Merrythought travel her eyes in the Class

Then She saw John Smith staring at the window, not listening to the discussion so she immediately called the boy.

"Ah yes, John Smith wasn't it? Stepped up in the front," Professor Merrythought called

John Smith seems not to hear the Professor said qso his friend, Adrian Waterchills nudged him.

"Bloody Hell, Addy!" John scwoled then he noticed that all the students and the Professor was looking at him causing his eyebrows to furrowed in confusion

"Stepped up, Mr.Smith. If you are listening to me then you will know that you are being called." Professor Merrythought scolde

The Embarrassed John stepped up infront.

"Now, from the girls," Professor Merrythought linger her eyes to the girls and saw Victoria with a bored expression "Ah yes, Our Transferee, Ms.Cygnus if you will..." She gesture to Victoria to come infront

Victoria internally groaned in frustration. Why me? Victoria thought

So, she slowly walked infront of everyone, facing John Smith.

"Fancy seeing you here," John said, grinning

Victoria smiled awkwardly to the boy.

"Now, Smith put your hand on Cygnus' waist" Professor Merrythought instructed so John immediately put his hand on the girl's waist

"Fair warning, Smith, I'm a terrible a dancer..." Victoria whispered

John just winked at her.

Victoria wanted to vomit.

When they already positioned themselves, the music started and they danced.

Victoria felt John's hand shifted. John's hands was on Victoria's arse causing the blonde girl to widened her eyes.

Tom, who was watching Victoria danced with the a other man, noticed that John's hand was not in Victoria's waist anymore, instead it was in the girl's arse.

Tom felt a hint of anger surrounded his body. Tom clenched his fist until his knuckles turned white.

"You're fit..." John whispered to the girl

"Put your hand on my waist, not my butt." Victoria said in a serious tone but John seems to ignore it

Victoria felt uncomfortable.

So, she stepped up in John foot really hard causing the pervert boy to whine in pain.

"Oh, i'm sorry!" Victoria acted as if it was just an accident

Some students gasped at the sight but
Tom sighed in relief as Victoria act immediately. Tom didn't why he was feeling this.

Victoria helped John fakely.

"You're dead..." Victoria whispered to John

John just gave the girl a deathly glare

                                ⚰

"HE DID WHAT!?" The furious Gideon asked loudly causing the students in the Library to looked at them

"Quite!" The Librarian whispered yelled

"He did what!?" Gideon asked once again but in a whispered

"Yeah. He put his hand on my arse so i stepped up on his foot. No one seems to noticed it." Victoria explained

"You have report this..." The worried Rhea said

Henry was also furious about it. He was holding his quill so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

"Tha wasn't enough!" Gideon shouted causing the Students and Librarian to looked at them once again.

"Shh!" The Libraian said

"Hope he got expelled..." Henry said in a serious tone then with that *snap* his quill snapped

The three looked at Henry with a worried look.

"You alright mate?" Gideon asked worriedly

Instead of replying, Henry just shrugged.
