Tom reviewed my work, reading it over a few times before nodding at me. " I expected more of you in this time." he said, rather calm, though the words still spooked me. "you've been sidetracked haven't you?" he asked, his tone scaring me to my very core. I nodded not wanting to mess up a "perfectly good" conversation., if you could call it that.

"fine then. I expect you'll have at least half of this list done before we meet again?" he asked but it was set that that would be how much I had completed, even if he had said it in the format of a question, his word was law.

I sat at the old and dusty desk in a large room in the Riddle manor, as tom had taken me here to be under surveillance at all times. I turned my head to look at the burly man standing in the doorway staring at me. "could you at least stare slightly to the left or something?" I asked rather annoyed, it seemed that he was reading my work, watching for every little mistake so he could tell his "lord". Tom was no lord, he was s just a young man who sought attention. That was all, and in my eyes, he didn't deserve any attention, he should be left to think of what he has done, and what he was doing, but that was just my opinion, after my experience with him during school, I had always been a pessimist where he was concerned.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"you want to know more of my time with the teenage Tom do you?"~~~~~~~~~~~~

I sat in the same spot I had been sitting when I had first been confronted by the snake that had brought me to Tom. Over the next few weeks I learned that it wasn't any accident or misunderstanding that the small snake that I now called Nagini kept coming to me. Tom sent messages to me through her, insisting that I help him, he never specified what I was to help with, but I was intrigued so the next time Nagini the snake came to me bringing her message, I stopped her before she even got the first word out.

"it's okay, no need to keep repeating it, ill help." when I had said this I had no idea what kind of trouble I had gotten myself into, that I would begin to enjoy watching others suffer at my hand, that I would conduct secret experiments, changing my personality to the public as I saw fit in order to receive information. Tom, it seemed, had gotten inside my head for a while, a controller, as if I was just a puppet. And for a while this bothered me, but soon enough his essence in my mind was gone, I hadn't realized it but I had begun to do these things of my own free will. I had become evil.

~~~~~~~~~~~~"that's all you need to know for now, but in time you will understand more."~~~~~~~~~~

I was startled as I realized that the man who had been watching from the door had come over to me and was talking, but it wasn't directed at me. I stared at him thinking for a moment before I heard a voice return to the mans comment and I let out a little squeak of fear in realizing that I hadn't been working during this time. I looked down at the parchment and my eyes grew wide, there were silly looking doodles of snakes eating things all over it, I let out I giggle as I looked at one, a large snake the at I labeled as Nagini was eating a stick figure witch I labeled Tom, and I started to laugh harder as I thought of that actually happening , but I stopped laughing immediately as I realized tom was staring at me.

"What's going on over there?" he asked sternly. I covered the doodles with my hand and smiled "Nothing Tom, absolutely nothing." I giggled again as I was reminded of something that had happened when I was younger, around the time I was in my fifth year at school and was way ahead of my class, though I had a tendency to turn in my work days late/

I looked down at my paper chewing on a hard candy that seemed to change flavor every three minutes, I hea rd a caugh and turned around, I had been staring into space just thinking of things, and of course I had been doodling and writing things absent mindedly on my paper, I realized it was just Tom and nodded in a greeting, but I soon realized what had been written on the paper and choked slightly on my candy.

Underneath a doodle of a random face were the words "Alissa Riddle". I covered these words up and smiled broadly at Tom.

You have what I asked for?" he asked me. I nodded handing him a small vile, one reason why one of my papers was so late, brewing a difficult potion that was needed in one of his many dark duties. Felix fallacies. Liquid luck, this was the third time tom had taken advantage of my love of potions in a week. It bothered me, so much so that I had built up the courage to asked what it was for, but before I could get out a word Tom had begun to talk.

"what are you writing there?" he asked, indicating the sheet of paper that my arm was now covering. I moved more in front of it. "Nothing" I said "Absolutely nothing." I fa igned a smile and laughed a little still nervous, when my name was called from the other side of the room. I sat there panicked, looked from the paper under my arm to the person across the room, the head girl, I had to go see what they needed or I could be in trouble. I sighed and frowned deeply crumpling the paper and shoving it into my pocket I turned and walked towards the girl, but I couldn't get away in time before tom grabbed my shoulder.

I yanked my shoulder away from him. "you need to quit doing that" I said frowning. "by the time were out of school, my arm will have fallen off." I stormed away to the side of the room I was needed at and for the rest of the day I could feel Toms eyes on me. At one point I was so annoyed that I confronted him, but ill t ell you that when its needed, not now.
