Proper Introductions

"You clearly don't get what I mean so let's restart, hi my name is Sawyer Lux Bawden, what is your name?" Sawyer said offering her hand
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Narrator's view:

Sawyer was reading her novel about the history and founders of Hogwarts in the Slytherin common room next to the fireplace as Tom walked past trying to leave.

"Oi!" Sawyer shouted to grab his attention
"hello" Tom said quickly yet quietly

"Where are you heard off to? Classes have already ended and we already ate dinner" Sawyer asked

"nowhere, say is that Salazar Slytherin your reading about?" Tom asked, slowly making his way next to Sawyer

"Ah yes! I'm reading about what he's done for Hogwarts, it says here that there's a chamber located somewhere near here!" Sawyer said using her finger to guide through the sentence off the book

    "That sounds interesting, could I possibly use that book?" Tom asked with a tiny smirk

    "Not so fast Riddle, we barely know each other and we haven't properly introduced ourselves"

"Well I know we're both Slytherin's?" Tom said trying to convince Sawyer to hand him the book

"You clearly don't get what I mean so let's restart, hi my name is Sawyer Lux Bawden, what is your name?" Sawyer said offering her hand to him

"My name is Tom Morvolo Riddle, it's nice to meet you?" Tom replied as he shook Sawyer's hand

"Nice to meet you too Tom, I'm sure we'll have a splendid time here together" Sawyer answered with a small smile that looked as innocent as her.

It had seem that the two created a bond with each other, and out of all people it was Sawyer. Who could resist her loving and sweet personality, definitely not Tom, even if it seemed that he has a cold heart, her smile was precious to him. But again, he didn't really fancy her, or so he thought...

Tom And Sawyer went to Defense Against The Dark Arts class, side to side, books in their hands, humming came from Sawyer while Tom was silent but always staring at her. Perfect team? Tom thought to himself, preposterous! I barely know this girl and I'm already calling her my friend! Tom said inside his deep thoughts.

"Hey uhh Tom?" Sawyer said with concern stopping infront of him

Tom lost his train of thought "umm yeah?"

"Are you alright? You looked like you were daydreaming while walking, I don't think that's very safe." Sawyer said

"yeah I'm alright, carry on" Tom said walking slightly past Sawyer to class.

As the two went to class the professor told them to sit next to each other near the back of the class, both Sawyer and Tom were great students, some would say that Sawyer is the brightest witch of her age! (Hermione? 👀) but unfortunately Sawyer's parents don't see it they think she's a miserable little arse who deserves nothing in life, they only see Luther's achievements even though he barely has any. Cruel? Maybe.... Just the thought of it can make Sawyer's big smile frown, but she tried to avoid the truth even though there is no escaping it. Sawyer doesn't know Tom's whole story but she knew that he goes to a orphanage and such, two broken kids she thought. But Sawyer doesn't often see herself as a broken kid, as long as she smiles she doesn't define herself as broken.

Sawyer was heading to the library alone for a very short break from class, plus she's always top of her class so why not miss at least 10-20 minutes of class?

   "Tom? What are you doing here? You're supposed to be in class!" Sawyer exclaimed!

   "I should be asking you the same thing, you have class too, in fact we both do" Tom replied closing his book

   "Whatever, what are you reading?" Sawyer got close to him

    "It's a book about Salazar Slytherin! The greatest wizard ever!" Tom explained

   "How is he the greatest? I thought Dumbledore was the greatest" Sawyer questioned

  "Doesn't matter! I want to complete Salazar Slytherin's noble work!" Tom said slamming his hand again the table

  "Noble? Pfft" Sawyer jerked

   "Do you think it's funny do you?" Tom slightly yelled

   "Kind of, he hated muggles and he thought that muggles shouldn't attend Hogwarts" Sawyer replied

   "And what is your bloodline Bawden? Muggle?" Tom questioned

   "Funny you asked, I'm a pure blood!" Sawyer laughed as Tom slightly felt embarrassed

  "W- what" Tom was speechless

   "You heard what I said Tommy boy" Sawyer responded with tears of joy after laughing really hard "how about you? What's your bloodline?" Sawyer questioned him.

"Err umm half-blood, my father was a muggle and my mom was a witch" Tom replied "My mum passed away just as I was born, my father, he left us to join his new family... I never wanna see him again! Filthy traitor!" Tom said with pure anger.

"Oh Tom, I am so sorry! I just-." Sawyer was cutoff

"It's alright, let's just head to class"
