I step into my room numbly and lit a small candle near my bedside. I toss the letter to the floor and let myself fall facefirst into the plush bed.
"Ahem-" A throat clears.
A barely visible figure sits on my lounge chair next to the bookshelf. Before I can cast a spell, my wand is taken from my grasp.
"Wait..." The dark figure's wand illuminates the room in a low cool glow putting my small candle to shame.
"Tom!?" I gasp in horror.
"I assume you did not open your letter," Tom's eyes dart down at the unopened letter on the floor.
Realization hits me, and my body freezes. "We're a match!?" I gasp. "This can't be-maybe there was a mistake, let me check mine,"
"Denial will get you nowhere" His deep voice cuts like a knife. "Besides, why would I lie to you?" He stands up and turns his back on me.
"You?! I have to marry you," I fume. "you disgust me" I spat. My blood boils at the mere sight of him.
"It doesn't seem like we have a choice," Tom's voice rumbles back.

My Missing piece (Harmione)
Attention, potential readers of my book! Brace yourselves for a rollercoaster of emotions, because in "My Missing Piece (Harmione)," you'll find more drama than a quidditch match with broomstick malfunctions. We're talking self-harm, torture, and enough blood to make a vampire blush. If you're as sensitive as a blast-ended skrewt, consider steering clear. But for the brave souls out there, here's a sneak peek: This tale kicks off just a month after the Hogwarts showdown, and Harry's got it bad for Hermione. Ever since the Yule Ball, he's been head over heels for the brightest, smartest, funniest, and most drop-dead gorgeous witch he's ever laid eyes on. But will Hermione reciprocate his feelings, or will their friendship go up in flames faster than a Weasley's fireworks display? Dive into this fanfiction and discover the answer, if you dare! ⚡? ***** "Harry?" Hermione called out. Harry's heart plummeted like a bludger to the gut. If she asked the one question he'd been praying she wouldn't, he might as well take a one-way trip to Azkaban for awkwardness. Their friendship, he feared, would be more shattered than a crystal ball dropped from the Astronomy Tower. Harry clung to the hope that she'd ask about anything else, but it seemed fate had a twisted sense of humor. Slowly, he turned to face those enchanting chocolate brown eyes he could never get enough of. She spoke the words he'd been trying to dodge like a rogue bludger. "Why didn't you spill the beans about being head over heels for me, Harry?" Hermione inquired, leaving him in a pit of utter despair. And so, the tale of Harry's romantic blunders began, filled with more twists and turns than a Niffler's chase for shiny objects. ?Complete
His (A Tom Riddle Love Story)
"Promise me, Cindria! Please!" Tom pleaded, now gripping my arms in a vice-like a grip. "I won't, I won't promise something when I know I'm going to break that promise, Tom," I said shaking my head. I refused to comply with Tom's demands because I knew one way or another, I'd be forced to get involved in what's happening. Whatever was happening. "Fine! You leave me no choice! Nagini!" I heard Tom say, and when he uttered that familiar name, I began to tremble. "Tom...Tom! what are you doing?" I said weakly, raising my hands to his muscled biceps. "Protecting you," he replied, just as Nagini, Tom's huge snake, slithered into the room. I could feel myself becoming faint and I pressed myself into Tom for protection from the venomous creature. He wouldn't. Would he? He would. "Tom...You promised...You promised that it wouldn't come near me!" I began to panic, now trying to get away from Tom, who held me around the waist, tightly against him. "I know what I promised, Cindria, I promise Nagini won't hurt you. She'll just be outside your door, guarding you, making sure nothing happens to you in case you have any ideas," he told me, putting his hand on my cheek. "Please don't do this, you don't have to do this," I whispered, tears making their way to my eyes.Complete
