Chapter 8

Today was the day of the tournament.

To say that I was nervous would be an understatement.

Though I confident in the plan me and the dragon which was named Mera , a weird yet fitting name for her .It meant flame in Japanese if am correct.

I just hoped that she didn't change her mind and would decide to eat me on the spot.

I let out a sign as i adjusted my robes and looked at my reflection in the mirror. What i saw made feel like i should of made me look more presentable for the tournament even though i could possibly be killed in the arena .

I was wearing Emerald robes given to me by my father. I braided my hair so t was out of my eyes .  Though it made my eyes stand out even more against my pale skin . They shone like to sparkling gems or as my father always said they look like the killing curse ,especially when I'm angry.  i was very tankful tat my eyes weren't pink at the moment , that would lead to questioning.

I just hoped tat i didn't get any visions during my turn in the arena . That could lead to me being exposed and  the possibility of dying . Not sure which i prefer but i don't want either to happen so i need to be extra careful.

I let out an unladylike snort at thinking of my father letting me die . He would most certainly bring me back to life , kill me and bring be back to life again just to scold me for dying .

I look one more time at the mirror before getting my things and making my way out onto Hogwarts grounds were they had set upan areana for us to fight the dragons .

As I was on my way to the arena I couldn't prevent my mind from drifting towards the one mysterious man that keeps on taking over my mind .No matter what the mysterious Tom Riddle is always on my mind and I have no idea why .

The worst part is that he always with my father and on top of that he is a secrete dark lord , what am I supposed to do. I know my father won't tell him about my gift because he cares about me to much .

I was so !most in my thoughts I didn't see were I was going and walked into someone . As I was about to fall over I felt two strong arms wrap around me , I was so shocked that I fisted the persons cloak in my hands ,which must of come to a shock to them because the next thing I knew I was on the floor with someone hovering over me . ' Thank merlin ' I though because the person didn't land on me and squish me .

I shifted and felt the chest of the person i was under and felt a macular chest ........... So it was male . I felt  the chest above me  start to vibrate and I looked up only to stare into a pair of blue eyes shinning with amusement .

'Oh Merlin I under the infamous Tom Riddle that I was trying so hard to avoid ' .  The worst part was that I couldn't stop the blush that spread over my cheeks . That only seemed to amuse him more though it infuriated me .who is he to take amusement from my embarrassment ..............oh that's right a bloody Dark Lord.

The blush only deepened when I realized that he wasn't moving and the poison we were in.  And stupid me had to go open my mouth .

"Wow in ever knew that guys would fall for me before the first date ."
As soon as the words were out of my mouth I regretted them . This was a Dark Lord I could mysteriously get killed just for angering ....I've seen him do it before.

Though to my surprise he through his head back and laughed . I absently noted that he had a nice laugh ,it was like smooth dark chocolate .

"Well ,you are to beautiful to not fall for I, even it was a surprise ."  His voice was just like Velvet . No wonder people couldn't resist his charm but then again I'm not most people . Though the one thing I can't control is my blush , which made his smirk turn smug.

The smug bastard .

"Well then I hope you wouldn't mind getting off me ."  I said my voice laced with a little frustration.

"Well .......this is a really comfortable position to be in ,I'm not sure I want to move ." he replied .

I was actually to shocked to say anything .
Before I could reply he got up , pulling e with him . The gesture was so unexpected I landed in his chest . It took me a moment to regain my thoughts and I immediately stepped away from him .

"You are an asshole " I said throwing all the rules to play safe out the door.

I was glad to see a flicker of surprise and shock in his eyes though I didn't wait for his reply before I tired on my heel and walked towards the champions tent .

I stopped outside of the tents entrance trying to calm my adrenaline down . though the feel of his body against mine .........no I can't think of that .Bad Ana .

I took a deep breath and entered the tent knowing I cant back out of this once I entered.
