I rushed to Dumbledore's office, he needs to know that it is Tom who is responsible for the making the Muggle born students petrified.

"Professor Dumbledore !" I said as I swung open the door. "Y/n? Are you alright? You look worried."

"I umm...well..." I paused and tried to calm myself "I heard about the Muggle born student who are getting petrified, well it's-"

"It's something Tom is doing." Professor said in his regular calm voice. "Wait you...you know?" "Of course I know, it was there in the letter." He passed the letter to me. There were a couple of important incidents written it started with Moaning Myrtle's death to Voldemort's defeat by baby Harry. I gave the letter back to him after carefully observing it. "Oh Y/n, I almost forgot to congratulate you on your progress" He patted my back like a proud dad, that made me feel great. "I never thought Riddle would stay back at the hospital wing all night for someone." I smiled at him, a genuine smile.

Then I went to Tom's dorm to take care of the Moly. He wasn't there, as expected, probably shouting at his followers in the Room of Requirements. "Aww." I said to the Moly "Look at you! Tom has barely taken any care you yesterday." I couldn't believe I was taking to a plant "Don't worry I'll take care of yo-" I was interrupted by a laugher. Tom's laughter.

"Oh I'm sorry, I shouldn't have interrupted." He said still giggling.

"I-I-" I was embarrassed. "You you" Tom mocked and jumped on his bed. He was proud of himself because of some reason I didn't knew. What could be the reason? 

"Enjoyed your time in the Room of Requirements ?" I asked and his proud happy face changed, it made a worried and confused expression.

"You didn't think I was that dumb. Did you ?" I tilted my head and folded my arms. "You know about the Room of Requirements ?" 

"Obviously, ROR will mean Room of Requirements."

"My my" He stood up and came closer to me "You are impressing me everyday."

That made me blush a bit but then I remembered the trickster he is. He should fall for me! I shouldn't!

"Slug club isn't enough for you. You should join my group." 

"You mean your boy scout group ?" I sneered, I hate those followers of his.

"Don't speak a word against them !!" He had anger in his eyes, but then they changed, he was calm again "They will apologise for what they did. Will you join the group then?"  "I will."

He took a step forward, now more closer, then he placed a finger on my chin and lifted it up. I looked directly into his dark eyes.

Then he whispered "Being a part of my group is dangerous, and once you are a part." An evil smile grew on his face "There's no going back." I swallowed a lump in my throat, still not knowing what to say next.

"Do you understand that y/n ?" His voice was surprisingly cold.

I opened my mouth to answer but yet again I had nothing to say. I don't know what to say, I need more time to think.

"I ASKED you a question! And I want an answer in return !" He said raising his voice a bit.

"Y-yes." I answered not sure if I made the right decision. "Good" he said letting go off my chin.
