Compel || Tom Riddle x Reader

31 - T A S K S

a/n:

this chapter felt so rushed- 😭😭 i've been extremely stressed about getting my grades up in school but still am trying to update!

"No one you know will be harmed, just don't tell anyone about what you just saw or i'll reconsider it"

"No one you know will be harmed."

"don't tell anyone about what you just saw"

Those words constantly repeated in my head during potions class the next day. I didn't even dare to look at Riddle after what I witnessed. I shouldn't be talking to him right? I shouldn't know more, it won't be safe for me or anyone else I care about.

I sped out the class, of course he followed.

"hey"

I didn't reply.

"hey!"
Tom yelled

"I don't want to talk to you right now! Cant you see that?" I hissed looking towards him.

"You act so arrogant" Riddle scoffed back. "wait till you melt under my fingertips, again."

I shook my head instantly. "melt at your fingertips? really? Since when- Goodbye Riddle."

Just as I was about to walk away he grabbed my arm. "If you don't stand still and listen to me, I wouldn't hesitate slapping you across the face."

"don't touch me" I say, pulling his hand away from my arm, offended by his words.

He rolled his eyes. "Because you know about my plan, I need you to do some tasks for me."

I lifted my eyebrow up, confused.

"right now I just want you to get permission to go to the restriction section of the library and get the book Magick Moste Evile"

I scoffed again.

"I'm not your minion , last time I check you work for me and my parents, not the other way around."

"what if something bad happens to them?" He smirked, going close to me and tucking a strand of my hair behind my ear.

"You aren't blackmailing me are you? Why me? Cant you get it yourself" My eyes widen.

"Sweet, innocent y/n, the teachers won't get suspicious, as smart as you are , you can definitely get an excuse for one of them to give permission."

All of a sudden I saw a teacher walking around the halls, it finally hit me I was getting late to class.

"Fine." I mumbled and ran away.

I felt stressed

Luckily, one of my teachers signed permission for me to go to the restriction section of the library.

I was in my common room, not wanting to go there at the moment but I knew sooner or later I'd had to.

"y/n?"

I heard a voice call my name

My head turned around to meet eyes with the blonde I haven't spoke to for a while.

"draco.." I breathed.

"are you okay?" He tilted his head, walking towards me.

"yeah it's just, i've been busy, catching up with my missing school work" I replied, half lying.

"so" He said and sat next to me on my bed.
"aren't we supposed to be finishing the charms project together"

"oh my god I completely forgot!" I shrieked, we were assigned earlier today to work on a project together in charms class.

"We can work on it after I come back from the library, I have to grab a few things quickly." I smiled, grabbing my stuff. "I'll come to your common room after"

"see ya" he waved and left.

I rushed myself to the library, trying to find the book Tom forced me to get.

My hands traced along the variety of books, trying my best to lock eyes with the book her needed.

Magical Moste Evile

found it

After checking the book out I tried to search for Tom, surprisingly I bumped into him the minute I walked out the library.

"do you have it?" He hissed

I rolled my eyes and handed him the book, leaving as soon as it touched his hands.

"where do you think you're going? I didn't say you could leave." He hissed again.

"I have to meet Draco, we-"

He instantly grabbed my wrists tightly.
"don't talk to him"

" stop, you're hurting me" The grip was extremely tight. Tom let go.
"I can talk to whoever I want. It's none of your business anyways"

"go spread your legs for that filthy Malfoy, I couldn't care less." He groaned.

" that's immature of you to accuse that. Malfoy is actually nice unlike you, you're far from what I expected." I scoffed. "I'm not doing 'tasks' for you anymore. bye."
