Chapter 7: One Riddle solved?
Ginny could only stare at Tom. He had just used a unforgivable. For her. 'I'd be flattered but, imperious is not the most flattering thing that could be done for me.' she thought
"Ginny. Dont tell anyone what you have just witnessed, ok." Tom said, hands on Ginny's shoulders. The look he gave her was intense
"Wh..why did you do it?" Ginny asked
"You would not understand." Tom mumbled
"That is illegal Tom." Ginny whispered
"I know. But the illegal things always seem more fun. Take apparating two people. Thats hard, and fun." Tom said
"So, you did that for...fun?" Ginny asked confusion riddling her voice
"Well. Yes, and no. You see, I hate that women. She has made my life simply misrable. And, well deserved it, shes just a muggle, afterall." Tom said
Ginny frowned, as she watched Tom sit down at a table, and lean foward, his left hand holding his chin up. He seemed to sink into his own thought.
"Not all muggles are like that Tom." Ginny said
Tom turned his head and shifted as he looked at Ginny.
"How do you know?" Tom asked, a small bit of venom detectable
"My brothers best friend, was a muggle. She was very nice, and a study-o-holic." Ginny said
Tom blinked, and went back to thought. 'Ginny, Ginny, Ginny. You have been so mislead. ALL muggles are terrible. ALL of them. Calling me freak all the time, beating me, chasing me, attacking me. Thats the life they have given me. And my Flithy Muggle father, abandoning me and my mother for magic. I HATE ALL MUGGLES. I'll make her see how bad the truely are. By the end of the school year, she will understand. She will have to understand.'
Then Tom got up.
"Er...Tom. Where could I put my school stuff?" Ginny asked
"Oh. I'll take it." Tom said, picking up bags, and such, then putting a shrinking charm on the items. He then walked over to an endtable, and had a engraved snake around the handle. He traced it with his finger, and then kneeled down to the table, and whispered something Ginny could not understand. She watched mesmerized as the snake uncoiled from the handle, and a lock appered. Then she heard the click to state the little draw was open.
Tom pulled out the draw, and placed the items in, neatly. Then he stood up, patted dust off himself, and closed the box. Then he whispered something else, and the snake went back to being coiled.
"That was wicked." Ginny said
"Wicked?" Tom asked
"er...yeah, you know, awesome." Ginny said
"Oh, you mean boss." Tom said
Ginny held in a laugh. 'Boss?'
"Erm, yes. Boss." Ginny agreed
Tom grinned a bit. "It is an impressive security system that I have made. That took months for me."
'He's a bloody genious.'Ginny thought
"You made that?" Ginny said
"Yes." Tom said "It was very hard, since I had to do this wandless. Which I have discovered to be terribly hard. But when you do something wandless, the Ministry can't find out, since the magic is not being filtered through a wand, but through ones being."
"Wow." was all Ginny could say
"I think I could do better though." Tom said "I know I can."
"You did a Marvolous job though!" Ginny said
"You just used a form of my middle name." Tom said, dropping to the bed, and bouncing a bit, and amused look on his face.
" Your middle name is...?" Ginny asked
"Marvolo." Tom said
"So what are you, the ever so Marvolous Tom?" Ginny asked
"I guess you could call me that." Tom said shrugging.
Then he watched as Ginny looked around. "Whats wrong?" Tom asked
"Where will I sleep?" She asked, seeing all the beds were taken.
"I'll take the floor. You sleep in my bed."
"I...I cant do that. I'd feel so terrible knowing you would have to sleep on the cold floor." Ginny said, looking at his eyes
"It's alright, I'm use to it. I just got bed privlages back. A few nights on the floor never killed me."
"Your kind." Ginny said 'Wow. This is so twisted. I'm calling the boy who tried to kill me kind.'
"I try to be as nice as I could, and also, your a lady. If you were one of the guys, I'd take the bed." Tom said
Ginny laughed a bit.
"I'm not always this kind to people. There are some girls, who I would make sleep on the floor. Just because they annoy me." Tom said
"Wow." Ginny said
"I take it you like that word?" Tom asked
"Huh?" Ginny asked
"Wow. You say it an awful lot." Tom said
"Oh, I dunno. It just seems fitting sometimes." Ginny said
"Well. Night has fallen, and the muggle children will enter in 5...4...3...2..." Tom did not finish, all the 9 children entered, followed by 5 young teens.
Tom quickly conjured a thin matress, pillow, sheets and blanket for himself.
She watched the other children sneer at him, and throw him dirty looks. Some kids just looked at her.
"Looks like Riddle's gotten himslef a girlfriend." One kid said
'Damn. Is that what everyone says to me? The ironic part is, this time its a muggle, saying it to Tom Marvolo Riddle.'
"Shut up, if you value your life." Tom said, moving in front of Ginny.
"What'll you do, wave your hands a turn me into a rabbit?" The kid said, causing the others to laugh.
Ginny was shocked. 'Why are the treating him like this?'
"You dont know what I'm capable of, you don't know anything. If I wanted to, I could decapitate you all with a simple spell." He said, in a dead whisper.
Ginny watched him, and saw his eyes seemed different. The pupil seemed to grow and shrink at every breath Tom took, and then stayed leaving a ice blue ring that was barely noticable.
The kids all laughed again.
Then Ginny heard him mumble 'one day, maybe soon, you will all regret ever mocking me, ever making fun of me.'
As the kids layed in there beds, Tom stood in place, just glaring.
Ginny reached out, and placed a hand on his shoulder, causing him to turn to face her.
"Don't listen to them. Your brillent, they dont know anything." Ginny said
Now she could see the beautiful color of his eyes, they seemed to be midnight blue now, in the low light.
"Thank you Ginny. Well, goodnight." Tom said, going to his spot on the floor
"Night Tom. See you in the morning."
'I hate it here. This year I'm going to propose the idea of Dippit letting me stay, one more year here, and I'll kill myself, or someone.' Tom thought as he drifted off to a world of nightmares.
'He is only misunderstood. Now I understand something about him. If thats what he grew up with...its terrible, how could anyone treat another like that?' Ginny thought as she entered her pleasent dream world.
