He put his wand down and smiled.

"Thank you Bellatrix" he said looking deeply in to my eyes, I could see the thoughts going round in his head

He knows that he has me now; I will forever be wrapped around his little finger. No matter what he does, where he is or if I hate it, I have to do it too, I have to help him. He knows that I am his bitch and he loves it.

"Anytime" I say trying to smile "so what now" I look to the opening in the cave hoping that he will say he wants to go back

"Well it is 7am now" he said looking at his watch "so we should head back in about half an hour, before people notice we are gone"

That roughly means that he has more planned for here. Is this going to be my first task? Is he going to want me to perform some validation test to prove that he has me in his grasp? I look at him and realise that I am falling for him. Well, I have fallen for him. I can help but admire his beauty and I know that if I didn't feel this way about him I wouldn't have agreed to the vow. I start playing with my hair again, trying to pick at all the split ends. I hate my hair, its big, jet black and wildly curly. Nothing I can do makes it any nice so I normally just stick it up and forget about It

Just then Tom stops my hand and places in my lap, he looks and me brushes a strand of hair behind my ear and says

"You look beautiful today Bellatrix"

I can't help but blush. I don't think anyone, including my family, has ever called my beautiful. I bow my head in fear of going red and giggle slightly

"Thank you" I say. I can feel all the blood go to my cheeks and I cover my face with my hair

He looks at me, brushes my hair away and tilts my head up. He is closer than before and this startles me a bit but I don't move. He slowly wraps one arm around my back and pulls me close to him. Before I know it his lips are on mine, I was unsure of what to do, it was so unexpected so I put my arm around him and try to act as if I know what I am doing.

He pulls me tighter so I'm right up against him and slowly slips his tongue in to my mouth. All I can taste is mint, he had obviously planned this. I wasn't going to stop him, my insides were dancing with joy and it felt as though I would never be sad again. I know I had no experience but he was an amazing kisser and I just didn't want this moment to end. I can feel him getting harder and deeper in to the kiss he starts to push me backwards and before I know it he is led on top of me.

Just then he pulls away, chuckles slightly, kisses me lightly on the lips and stands up

"We should get back to the castle" he says grinning at me

I was still in shock over what just happened that I started to believe I made it up. He held out his hand, helped me get to my feet and began to walk out the cave. As we were walking back through the forest he kept his distance, like on the journey here, we barely spoke and it certainly wasn't like the talk we had in the Great Hall last night.

I was so confused. I didn't know what I expected but it certainly wasn't this. I thought that it would be like we were going out, holding hands, closeness and best friends. I was obviously wrong and he didn't seem to care at all.

We got to the field and my eyes began to hurt adjusting to the brightness that was blocked out in the forest. I jogged a little so that I was by his side

"So what was that all about" I blurted out

"I don't know" he shrugged "It just felt right, felt like it fitted the time"

I went to hold his hand but he moved it, stopped walking and turned me around. He grabbed me by the shoulders and held me tightly

"Look" He said "I know you are a girl and that kisses mean some sort of unsaid binding to you but that isn't what it was okay? I don't want or need a girlfriend, people will get suspicious and rumours will start going around and that is the last thing I want"

His grip was getting harder and it was starting to hurt. I had to bite the insides of my cheeks to stop me from crying.

"Things go as I say okay? No matter what you feel or what you want you abide by my rules. You've made the vow so you can't back out now"

His face was right up against mine and his fingers digging in to my shoulders

"You're mine" he spat "You're mine to control, you're mine to kiss, and you're mine to hurt. Anything I want and you have to give it to me. You understand?"

A nod was all that I could manage to get out. If I spoke I know I would breakdown and cry. He lets go of my shoulders and begins to walk away.

"Don't bother sitting with me today. Go back to your dorm and eat like that pathetic looser you are" he shouted behind him.

I couldn't move I just stood there staring at nothing. What on earth had just happened? How could he turn so vicious so quickly? I looked at my watch, it was 7:35 so I ran to the great hall, almost no-one was in there, it was a Saturday so most people didn't get up until 9 or 10, but the breakfast was already on the tables I grabbed what I wanted and sprinted to my dorm. I sat on my bed and cried.

The other 3 girls in my dorm, Clarissa, Betty and Lucy, all do early morning sports on a Saturday so I had the dorm to myself. I ripped off my coat and top and looked at my shoulders on each on there were 4 big dents where his fingernails had dug in to me and one of them had started to bleed. I grabbed a tissue and held it on my shoulder, when it stopped bleeding I put my pyjamas on and the tears started all over again, I couldn't help it. Between my lack of sleep, confusion, fear and sore shoulders the tears came pouring out. I forced myself to eat my breakfast and led on my bed. What have I got myself in to?

I must have fallen asleep for the rest of the day because I wake up and hear Clarissa and Lucy talking about going to dinner. I cannot stand either of them. Both of them gossip about the whole school, constantly seek attention and think they are better than everyone else. Clarissa has long blonde hair and covers herself in make-up Lucy has shorter brown hair and only wear a bit of make-up but they are still complete sluts, getting with every guy they can.

"Is she asleep" Says Clarissa

I open my eyes slightly to see what is going on, Lucy walks over to me and pokes me with her wand, I don't move because I don't want to have to deal with either of them.

"Yeah looks like it" She confirms

"Well, did you hear about her and Tom? Apparently they went for a walk together for about three hours and ended up having sex in the forest" She laughs

WHAT? I think to myself. I want to get up and scream about how wrong she is. This is why I hate school why I hate how someone going for a walk for an hour escalates in to such a stupid and out of proportion joke. I decide to keep pretending that I am asleep and see where this conversation goes.

"What Tom Riddle? The weirdo who always freaks everyone out?" she cackles

"Yep" Clarissa confirms "apparently they have been getting close for the past few months"

Past few months I think to myself. I spoke to him for the first time yesterday. I don't bother getting up or trying to correct her because I know that the more I deny it the more it will look like the truth. Tom hurt me when I went to hold his hand; he made it very clear he didn't want a close connection with me, especially not in this way. I don't know what the other rumours are or if he has heard them. All I know is that it is going to mean bad things for me.
