Basilisk Boy - Tom Riddle

As you calmly strolled through the almost empty halls of Hogwarts after your last class of the day you were thinking about what you would do once you got back to your dorm when a loud voice pulled you out of your thoughts.
"Speak up freak!" They shouted as you heard something thump against a nearby wall and hit the floor with a grunt , you jogged around the corner with your books in your arms to see a bunch of kids crowded around the wall chanting 'fight'.
The boy in the middle of the crowed bent down and grabbed another boy by the collar and dragged him to his feet and glared at him.
"I said....speak up. Basilisk Boy" the crowed erupted in laughter and 'Ooo's' as the other boy stared at his shoes before he spoke , his voice was oddly calm and ice cold.
"Leave. Me. Alone." He spat bluntly at the other boy Infront of him ,you caught a glimpse at the boy they were picking on , Tom Riddle.
You dropped your books to the floor and pushed your way through the crowd roughly to get passed , you now stood next to both boys as everyone stared at you strangely , some whispering about you breaking up the fight.
"Leave him alone Jay" you glared at the boy who still held Tom by his collar , Jay shoved Riddle to the wall and let go of his collar before stepping towards you , trying to look intimidating but failed.
"Or what? What's a little girl like you gonna do?" He spat down at you as he spoke tauntingly.

You pulled your wand out of your pocket and held it to his chin before smirking , "Avada Kad-" you uttered before fear flashed across his face as he dropped to the floor and begged you to let him live.
You scoffed at him and told him to leave before you changed your mind , everyone quickly scrambled away as you saw the corridor empty.
You turned back to Tom and offered a hand to help him off the floor , he hesitated before he took the offer and let you pull him up , he dusted off his clothes and awkwardly looked at the floor before mumbling.

"Sorry ,did you say something?" Your voice was sweet and caring , not taunting and mischievous , he looked relieved to hear that tone of voice spoke to him as he raised his head to look at you in mild surprise.
"I uhm...I said thank you.." he let a weak almost non existent smile slip before turning away and walking off.
You decided to follow him to make sure he was okay and Jay wouldn't hurt him again.

"Your welcome Tom. My name's y/n" you stood Infront of him to stop him and offered your hand to shake , he tilted his head in confusion when he heard his name. "You..you know my name?" You chuckled at the question as if it were a joke , you relaised he was serious and you stopped laughing and apologized.
"Of course I know your name , we have every class together. I think your pretty cool" his eyes lit up though the rest of his face stayed still , you could see joy spark in his eyes as they connected with yours.
"I didn't think anyone actually knew me apart from...being the Basilisk Boy" he looked at his shoes in shame and you could see his hurt and anger start to boil as he clenched his hands.
You quickly but gently grabbed his hand and held it while rubbing his knuckles with your thumb soothingly.
His cheeks turned a light pink as he looked up again slowly.
"That's not who you are. Your Tom Riddle , my friend" his jaw dropped slightly at the mention of friendship as his grip on your hand tightened , you didn't flinch of pull away , you just kept rubbing his knuckles calmly.

"Friends...?....I like the sound of that" he gave you a small but genuine smile before you two continued to walk the halls hand in hand , getting glares and insults from other students but you payed no attention , you had eachother.

Time skip to year 7

You and Tom had met in year 2 and had been best friends every since that day you defended him , he adored you and you did the same , it was you two against the world and nobody could come between you.
You both left in year 2 and went to a different school before coming back to Hogwarts in year 7 for the final exams , you both stood at the entrance of the school hand in hand , as always , and took a deep breath before nodding at eachother.
You walked up the steps once inside and made your way to the great hall and stood outside the closed doors , you could hear the loud students being shushed inside by Dumbledore as he announced two students returning and to give a warm welcome during our stay for exams.
The doors swung open inwards and everyone whispered to eachother about us as we walked down the path into the hall and up to the teachers table , the professors welcomed us back as we politely bowed and took our seats next to eachother on the Slytherin table at the very end.

"No way that's the Basilisk Boy , he's changed so much"

"He's kinda hot now don't you think?"
"What is he doing with her?"

"I don't know but she's pretty hot too"

"Yeah I'd definitely let her try my wand out"

We overheard conversations from other house students and even out house , Tom gripped your hand tightly at the mention of his old horrible nickname , you gently rubbed his knuckles soothingly as you always do when he's stressed and he seemed to calm down until the boys began to speak about you.

"Hey y/n , how about you and me take a little walk to my dorm huh?"

"Shove off mate your dorms a mess , how about mine baby?"

"Your both wrong , we should just have her right in the corridor , the second Riddles gone , we'll get her"

You gagged at the last comment and Tom's hands balled into fists and his breath became shaky , he was boiling with anger. He slammed his hand on the table and stood up facing the boys , everyone in the hall turned to face to noise and stare.

"Don't you fucking dare lay even a finger on y/n or so help me I'll break your god damn hands off and shove them up your-".  You stood up and grabbed his arm , the contact broke his sentence as he looked at you , you were shaking gently in shock , he instantly calmed as he wrapped his arm around your waist and held you close to him , he looked over at the professors and apologized for his language as he sat back down with his arm still tightly wrapped around your waist.

Later on you and Tom were walking back on your way to the common room when you felt a firm hand come into contact and slap your ass , you quickly spun around to see who it was because you knew it wouldn't be Tom.
You saw Jay laughing with his friends as they made sexual comments about you.
"Guess Riddles not that caring considering he's doing nothing." I felt Toms body stiffen as he slowly turned around to face the boys , he grinned before walking up to Jay , towering over him slightly as his shadow covered Jay.
"I should have done this year's ago however....that was the day I met y/n. So I should thank you for giving me a fallen angel however , I'd much rather do this" before Jay could speak , Tom closed his fist , pulled it back and punched Jay right in the jaw , a loud crack noise was heard as Jay fell to the floor with a loud cry of pain , Tom walked up to you and gently cupped your face before leaning in and kissing you softly.
"I should have done that a long time ago as well" he whispered in your ear with a raspy low voice , your knees shook as your legs seemed to go numb , Tom swiftly slung you over his shoulder and walked away with you laughing at everyone's looks.
