Summary: y/n is new to hogwarts, when a certain slytherin takes a liking too her how will she take it?

Warnings: very toxic and manipulative Tom which I guess is pretty expected but yeah don't glamorise his possessiveness please and thanks :)

Times at hogwarts were getting scarier by the day. Muggleborns were going missing and being found dead left right and centre, Hogwarts didn't feel like the welcoming home it once was to many students. Y/n however new no better. Transferring schools in the beginning of your final year was strange enough, let alone finding out that the school you were going to had so many tragedies.

y/n was walking to her potions class, being a Gryffindor meant she was supposed to be brave but with recent times, she felt anything but. Being a pure blood made it so she wasn't a target, but she still felt vulnerable being new to a school that had so many casualties. She entered class and was immediately greeted by Professor Slughorn.

"Ah miss l/n was it?"
y/n nodded a soft smile gracing her face.

"Well as it is your first time in my class I'll sit you here beside Tom.."
The girl just nodded again before sitting down beside the boy she was requested to.

She noticed how white his skin was, and how his eyes quickly traveled around her face, like he was sizing her up. Although she was new to Hogwarts, she had made some friends and enquired to them about certain people. His name hadn't come up.

"Hello.. miss ..?" Tom said looking deep in to her eyes.

"L/n.. y/n l/n.. and yourself ?" She said looking at him with the most innocent expression.

"Tom.. Tom riddle.."

"Well it's nice to meet you Tom.." she said softly before returning her gaze to the front of the class.

She couldn't help but feel eyes on her for most of the lesson. At first she assumed she was imagining it but after catching him a couple times she still saw Tom staring at her.

"It's rude to stare you know..." y/n whispered, toms face stayed stern as he looked back to the front of the class.

By the end of the class y/n was packing up her things ready to leave. As she got up to walk out she heard someone call her name.

"y/n.."
She turned around to see Tom stood before her.

"Can I help you?"

"Yes actually you can... you're clearly rather talented when it comes to herbology.. I saw you earlier on.. I need someone to tutor me.."

Y/n looked at him questioningly.

"You were watching me in herbology too.."

"Watching isn't the right word.. more like admiring your work.."

y/n couldn't help but blush slightly at his words.
"Well thank you.. and I don't see why I can't help you.. what times were you thinking?"

"5pm in the library.." he said before walking off in the other direction.

Y/n turned around and saw her friends walking to her next class which happened to be transfiguration.

"Why in Godrics name did I see you talking to Tom riddle?" Y/n looked at her friend Tara with a completely baffled expression.

"Yes he asked me to help him with herbology.. why did you say his name like that?"

"He's bad news y/n.. he may seem like a perfect student but he's in to some dark magic.."

y/n was never one to pass judgment but this almost intrigued her.

"He seemed quite sweet when he spoke to me.."
