When Tom woke up he felt someone clinging onto him. He looked down and saw Emelia latched on. Some distaste filled his mouth. He wanted to carve horrible words into her as she peacefully slept. Tom attempted to get up, but instead she held tighter.

"Freddie, fuck", she murmured.

He stared down at her, wondering who Freddie was. Instead of staying there he got up and shoved her off his body. She shifted a bit, but was still asleep. Tom was pacing the room.

'What am I doing? I was supposed to go back and cover it up. Fuck.', he thought.

While he tried to think of something to cover 'it' up, he went to the window and opened it. Fresh, cold air came in. He put his hands on the window sill and leaned forward. His head butted out into the open and she was still shirtless. Emelia snuck out of bed and apparated into the dining area. Tom heard the pop and looked at the bed.

'She's gone.'

He apparated into the lobby of the hotel before realizing he didn't have a shirt on. Tom went to the front desk and put the Imperio curse on the employee.

"Fetch me a shirt."

She nodded and went to the back in a trance-like motion. Tom stood in the hall with everyone looking at him. Some girls in the corner were swooning over him. He bit the inside of his mouth. The employee finally came back to him with a clean white tee.

"Deletrius." he muttered and she stood in front of him, dazed and confused.

He put it on and walked away to get food. He got toast and black coffee. Emelia was sitting at the table drinking cold black coffee and then nibbling on a strawberry.

"Quite the disappearance you made today.", he said.

She nodded, staring at her strawberry. Tom noticed something in her ears.

'Muggle music', he inquired.

"What song?", he quickly asked while taking a seat on the opposite side of the booth. She looked up and thought for a second.

"I wanna be yours.", she replied.

He nearly choked on his coffee, but kept his composure. "I already told you, no. Stop doing things like this."

She shook her head.

"You bloody oaf, it's the name of the song."

He raised an eyebrow, but stayed silent. Tom drank his coffee and looked at hers. It was halfway finished and the ice was melting. She got up to get more berries and he went with her. As they went, he saw a man slipping something into her drink.

'Amortentia.'

Emeli hadn't noticed.

"You like black coffee?", he asked.

"Stop inquiring about me. It doesn't matter, but to answer your question: yes. I do."

He scoffed. So much for being nice to her. They went back to their table and Emelia threw the remaining coffee away. He smiled bitterly and finished up his coffee. Tom left the table and threw his cup away. His toast lay on the table. She sat there and ate her berries.

Tom went to find the man responsible. Once he saw that he was in the pool room, Tom went inside and locked all the doors. He pulled out his wand and pointed it at him.

"You think putting something in her drink is funny?", he said.

The man looked up, he was startled.

"No! No! You misunderstoo-", he tried saying.

"I didn't misunderstand. Now, get up."

The man got up while pleading for his life.

"Crucio.", Tom said. The curse went to him and the man writhed in pain. His face contorted and he fell into the pool. Tom stopped and left. The mans' death wouldn't be on his conscience, if anything he deserved it. It's not like he'd die. Just vengeance for wanting Emelia.

He went upstairs, back to her room.

"Alohamora", he said. The door unlocked and he entered it. The room was comfy, but a bit messy from the events which perspired the night before. Tom took off his clothes and went into the shower. The water was cold, but he preferred that. The door unlocked and he paused for a second.

Emelia walked in, took off her clothes, and entered the bathroom. She was standing naked. Riddle could see her body shape from inside the shower. Emelia stepped into the shower and he got mad.

"Get out.", he said. Emelia didn't comply and put some shampoo in her hair.

"You can stay, but if you speak I may just murder you. Imagine how pathetic it'd be for your parents to find your body here, lifeless with no clothes on.", he seethed.

She tried to suppress a smile. His dominance was a meek attempt to have her listen to him. Emelia was behind him and he turned to look forward, focusing on his shower. She went closer and traced the back of his spinal cord. Her hands went around his body and she was now touching his stomach. Emelia bent down and snaked around him to kiss his stomach where he lost his manners and groaned.

"Fuck"

She stopped and looked up at him. He took her wrists and pinned her against the wall, while the shower was still running. One hand was holding hers, behind her back and the other choked her neck with her head against the wall.

"You think you're fucking slick. Don't do that again."

She felt his hot breath against her and stayed still. He finally let go and she saw the marks he left on her wrists. The bruise was even worse now. From the ropes, then Fred, and then his nails sinking into her skin. She doubted it'd go away any time soon.

Tom left the shower and changed into his clothes quickly. Emelia rubbed her wrist and continued taking the shower. Tom went back into the room and dried his hair with a towel. It was a curly mess. He left the room and walked out of the hotel. He'd return to Hogwarts and try to fix 'it'.
