I slammed the door of my dorm as I made my way in, but instantly regretted it when I saw the person sitting on my bed.

"Umm...I'm sorry Professor." 

"Is everything alright y/n ?" Dumbledore sounded really worried.

"Yes Professor, everything. is. alright." It took lots of effort to say that.

Dumbledore studied me for a moment then started again "I saw you and Tom dancing so I thought I should check if everything is alright." He paused "I know this is hard for you y/n, but think about the number of lives you are saving, think about your parent's life."

The only thing I could think about was Tom. I want to save him from himself, I don't care about the world anymore. "He and I are in a relationship, everything's going according to the plan." I sounded confident when I said that. "Excellent! Now you need to persuade him into not making the Horcruxes." 

"It'll be easy to do that now."

Professor smiled and stood up "Good night y/n." 

"Good night Professor."

*The next day*

I was sitting beside Stephanie in the great hall, eating my breakfast and reading a book. "Riddle!" Steph growls making me look at her. "Good morning Greengrass." Tom says while sitting at the unoccupied space to my left. "What are you doing here ?!" I had never seen Steph so annoyed by someone.

"Is that how you treat your bestfriend's boyfriend ?" Tom takes his plate of breakfast. Steph raises an eyebrow and looks at me, that reminds me of the time when mom got angry on me for hiding something.

"Darling, isn't it rude to not tell your bestfriend about your boyfriend?" The way he says darling every time makes me want to kiss him once again.

"Darli- WHAT THE HELL Y/N ?!!" Steph shouts at me and I kick Tom's foot under the table trying to tell him to shut up but accidentally I hit him a bit too hard.

"Oh, you'll pay for that one princess." He whispers and switches his fork to his left hand. His right goes under the table. To my leg, under my skirt.

I freeze at the sudden touch.

Steph turns to me fully, arms crossed, brow furrowed and in the mood of an argument "What about Abraxas ?!" Tom's hand slides to the inside of my thigh when she mentions Abraxas, I flinch and almost fall while standing up from the chair. Tom tries to hide a smirk but I spot that cunning little thing anyways.

"I... I'll tell you everything later." I say to Stephanie and practically run from the table, hoping to hide my face which is as red as a tomato.

                                                      **********

Two weeks have passed and now everyone knows that I am Tom's girlfriend. I told Steph that situations with Abraxas were complicated so I broke up, she accepted my and Tom's relationship but I know deep down she still doesn't like him and will never like him. Abraxas doesn't even glances at me anymore, we never talk in the Transfiguration class or in the Room of Requirements.

I spend most of my free time studying in Tom's dorm and sometimes he tutors me on the dark arts. The fact that a Horcrux can be destroyed made him rethink about his plans but he still hasn't given up the idea, it's just delayed.

Right now I was laying on my bed, staring at nothing and playing all my memories one by one. I couldn't sleep, it felt like I'm missing something and that's what was keeping me awake. I'm missing something really really important. Suddenly Dumbledore's letter flashes in my mind, the letter where dates of some important incidents were written, it started with the death of Myrtle... I jumped up from the bed as soon as I remembered it. MYRTLE DIED TODAY!

I grab my wand and run to the girl's bathroom as fast as I could.

When I reach there I see a little girl sitting on the floor and crying. I shift my gaze around the room and catch sight of a huge shadow coming closer slowly, THE BASILISK! The only thing my brain can think about right now is 'RUN! Go back to your dorm.' but my body does the opposite, I run towards the little girl and wrap my arms around her and embrace her as tight as I can.

She stops crying and tries to kick and get away from me. "I'm saving you silly girl!!" I shout as loud as I can, hoping that Tom would hear me and save us. My voice echoes in the room.

"No." A familiar voice hisses. "Tom ?..." I squeeze my eyes shut.

I could feel a huge shadow falling on me. The Basilisk... it's going to kill me now. I feel dumb for not running away. This is not the end... This is not the end... This can't be the end... This can't be the end... "NO! NO STOP !!" Tom shouts, probably at the Basilisk.

He says something I can't quite understand. The shadow starts to grow smaller.

3...3 minutes pass and I let the girl go, I hear her running out of the bathroom. I was still on the ground, I couldn't get up, I couldn't even open my eyes.

Another two minutes pass, I was still on the ground. I felt like I would die if I open my eyes, maybe the Basilisk was still here.

A hand grabs my shirt and pulls me up from the ground, harshly. My limbs where trembling and my whole body was shaking.

"WHAT WERE YOU DOING HERE?!!"

The only thing I could see in Tom's eyes was anger, pure anger. "I...I don't... I was..." I didn't knew what to say.

"Are you hurt?" He asks a bit gently, I don't answer, I don't know what to say.

Tom sighs picking me up and puts me over his shoulder.
