"Stop being a bitch"

 
        "hey" Was the first thing I thought to say. He hardly glanced at me. "You got the letter didn't you?" The riddle man asked. His accent had a soft delicate rhythm that made my legs shake. I recognized that I wasn't answering him for a heavy minute.

"Yeah I did." I breathed.
"Okay" Riddle replied and sat down on one of the seats inside he library his long fingers gestured me to sit down next to him.

"I'm supposed to be around you often. Just so you know, We don't have to talk, be friends, or any shit like that. I'm getting paid for this and you better not get into hazardous activities." He hissed and got up. "Okay?" I saw his eyes trailing down to the book I was holding, a disgusting look appeared on his face"

"Okay." I inhaled.

Tom simply walked away. "Okay?" What was that? I didn't know what I was expecting but surely not an "okay"

I decided not to think about it too much. It's not a big deal.

Class eventually started and my first lesson was potions. I darted my way towards there.

I came a little late. I wandered in, eyes were glued onto me because I was the last person to enter. I didn't see any seats that weren't taken except one.

The one next to Tom.

Ginny wasn't in the class and I barely knew the people here, eventually, I had to go over to him. I settled next to him not saying a word, better if thins were quiet.

"Welcome to potions. I know everyone has just came back to Hogwarts, today I wanted to test to detect how good your potion making is. What your task is for today is to choose and brew a simple potion of your choice, using the Magical Drafts and Potions book. show me what you've done afterwards. Go on." Professor Snape told us.

I undid the book, trying to observe which spell I should do. I finally found one and began. I peeked to the side, Tom was going quick, he certainly knew what he was doing. I went on deliberately, reading and mixing the things together.

Tom glanced my way. "you're doing it wrong" He whispered, not even looking my way.

"what?" I asked, not hearing him completely.

"I said your doing it wrong." He grabbed the items I was mixing and was stirring them himself. "there." He said

"You're not my teacher." I yapped. "I knew what I was doing."

"I don't care. I was just helping." He scoffed.

I didn't respond and we completed potions class.

After all my lessons were done, I decided to go find Ginny, she's usually at the common room. I began strolling towards the hallways but heard the whispering. I crossed to the noise, discovering Ginny and Harry Potter making out. gross i'm leaving.

I rushed out of the hallways and accidentally bumped into a hard figure.
"I'm sorry-" I looked up and saw Tom.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

"What are you doing , are you following me?" I asked

"That's literally my job. If you get hurt id loose my money. I need the money." He scoffed.

" it doesn't mean you can be around me 24/7. You're everywhere." I scoffed back.

"That's the point. Stop being a bitch" He mumbled. I rolled my eyes and attempted walking away.

"where are you-" Tom was about to talk but got cut off. "My common room. You can come in if you want." I replied, feeling a little bad, he's doing this for the money even though I don't know what it's for, it seems important.
