Chapter 3 - Falling for you

The weeks slipped by and soon Amelia forgot about the whole fate of magic business, she was the one thing she had always wanted to be, normal. Amelia and Tom were now inseparable and because of that no one dare say a word against her. Amelia often sat by the lake with Tom and they would talk for hours about nothing in particular. Dumbledore seemed not to like her but that didn't matter, Amelia had always thought that he was to controlling anyway and she liked not being his weapon.

Amelia had learnt a lot about Tom, he had an interest in the dark arts like her and he also commanded a lot of respect. Most the times he was serious but he did have a sense of humour although it was a little dark and never seemed to go in the Gryffindors favour. It was October 31st and Amelia was laid on her cloak next to Tom, it was quieter tan usual so Amelia decided to start a meaningless conversation. "It's weird but time has flown since I got here, I guess its true what they say time flies when your having fun. Tom why are you staring at me?" Usually when they talked they both would lay on their backs but this time Tom was on his side, he started fiddling with a strand of Amelia's hair "No reason." Amelia rolled her eyes it seemed that in the past week Tom had been acting very strangely.

Amelia checked the time quarter past four "Come on Tom we need to get changed and I need to get the leaves out of my hair." Tom give a small chuckle as Amelia shook her head in order to get rid of most of them. "Don't laugh at me Tom Riddle" Amelia said grabbing a handful of leaves and chucking them at him, Tom chased her all the way to Slytherin Common room, only catching her when she was forced to stop after colliding into Avery at which point Tom threw her on the couch and cast a tickling charm right on the sensitive part of Amelia's neck. "Beg for mercy and I'll stop." Amelia tried to shout never but couldn't through all the laughing she was doing. Tom shook his head at her lifting the curse "I'll get you after the feast" Amelia laughed and went up to the girls dorms to tidy herself up. Most people would have been scared by what Tom had said but Amelia knew he would never hurt her.

The feast was delicious and full of laughter, but Amelia couldn't help but notice the fact that Tom kept staring at her. They were on the way back to the common room with Avery and Belinda, when Tom whispered something to Avery. Amelia and Belinda looked at each other wondering what was going on, when Avery grabbed Belinda's hand and began to drag her ahead. Meanwhile Tom had snuck behind Amelia and pushed her into a small closet, following her in and charming the door shut, if Amelia thought it must have been the smallest one in Hogwarts as her and Tom's bodies barely had an inch between them.

"Tom, what the hell is going on?" There was silence for a moment as though Tom was contemplating something, then Amelia felt his lips upon hers. The kiss was gentle and quick Tom obviously wanting to get her reaction, before putting himself out any more. Amelia felt the blood rushing to her cheeks, that ad been her first kiss and she loved it, she loved Tom. She hadn't expected that she could ever fall in love with a guy, she'd never even thought anyone attractive before Tom. Amelia let out a small laugh.

"Why are you laughing?" There was an edge on tom's voice that showed that he was hurt and annoyed so Amelia explained herself quickly.

"Its just that before I came to Hogwarts I'd never even been attracted to anyone and now. I think I'm in love." with that Amelia leaned up and pressed her lips against him, unsure of how to proceed and wanting Tom to say something.

"Jane I never thought I could feel anything like this. I don't know if this is love but what I do know is that I want to protect you always." Amelia felt his lips find hers again, but this kiss was not just a quick peck. This kiss was powerful and passionate as Tom's lips bruised her own, his hands slithering round her waist, Amelia's arms went round his neck. There was a knock on the door and the voice of Professor Dumbledore came through. "Tom, Jane, you should both be in bed." The two of them left the closet and Amelia saw Tom give Dumbledore a look of pure loathing as they made their way back to the Common room one of Tom's arms still around Amelia's waist.

When they walked in everyone went quiet and looked at them causing Amelia to blush, Tom took Amelia hand and lead him up the stairs to the boys dormitory.

"Tom what if someone comes up?"

"Avery will stop them." Tom led Amelia towards his bed and they both sat down next to one another. There was a moment of silence between the two but it was not an awkward silence. Tom went to his trunk and pulled out a small package and handed it to Amelia. Amelia unwrapped it with great care whilst watching Tom out of the corner of her eye. When she had fully opened it she saw that it was a beautiful emerald snake pendant on a Silver chain.

"Tom it's beautiful." Tom smiled clearly glad she liked it as he reached round and put it one her as Amelia moved her hair out of the way, once it was on Tom repeatedly ran his finger across it before he explained where it had come from. Amelia knew that Tom had been manipulating the younger years of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw and from the necklace it was clear that he had amassed quite a bit of money. Tom had enchanted it so only he or Amelia could take it off and said that he had also put some protective charms on it, but would go into no more detail.

Amelia gave Tom a thank you hug and a kiss that very quickly turned from a peck to one like that in the closet strong and powerful. Tom had one hand one the bottom of her back and one on the back of her neck, pulling her as close to him as possible. His tongue began to caress Amelia bottom lip and she immediately parted them for him. Amelia didn't fight for dominance with her tongue, for one she knew she would lose, but she also just wanted to let Tom take over her body and soul, because she knew he would never hurt her and he would always be there for her. Eventually when the need to breath became to strong the two pulled apart, resting their foreheads against each others.

After a long period of sitting with the occasssional bit of conversation Amelia said goodnight to Tom and headed towards the door, when Tom spoke

"Jane can you promise me something?"

"That depends what it is."

"That you'll never let anyone man touch you in a loving way."

"As long as you mean other than you, then yes, I promise for now and for always."

"You have no idea how much hearing you say that means to me Jane." Tom stood back up and wrapping his arms around her waist gave her a peck on the lips before bidding her goodnight. Amelia woke the next morning and sat up to look at the time half seven.

"Finally, your awake." It was only then Amelia realised that Belinda had been sat on the edge of her bed. Amelia raised an eyebrow at her questionably and Belinda rolled her eyes, "Well, what happened last night silly?" Amelia went into the events of the night before and both girls ended up squealing. Belinda knew Tom was gorgeous in a domineering, masculine way and she also knew that he practically worshipped Amelia. Amelia dressed and her and Belinda went down to the common room. In the middle of the room stood Tom and Avery. Upon seeing Amelia Tom strolled over to her took her hand and kissed it "Good morning."

At breakfast the Great Hall was filled with happy Slytherins, as everyone knew Amelia and Tom were made for each other. The day passed by without incident and Amelia felt a spring in her step and she knew she couldn't be happier, she had even forgotten the fact that someday she would be sent back to the future.

That evening all the seventh years were sat discussing their hatred of Gryffindor and mocking muggles Amelia pretended to join in, for appearances sake. Tom was speaking with such fire Amelia was mesmerised by him and his words, but they sounded strangely familiar.

"As you all know my mother bedded a muggle and gave me this repulsive muggle's name but I have finally come up with one I like one which some day all witches and wizards will fear, belonging to the greatest wizard of all time." Amelia watched as the letters of Tom's full name came up and began to rearrange themselves, it was then Amelia's memories came back. She had fallen for Lord Voldermort.
