AN: hey hey hey i'm back! And with another story that's actually tied in with my previous one Riddles and Secrets (check it out!). Just saying though, I think it would be better to read that one first before this one, but hey, you're the reader! Btw, i'm not done with the other story, this is just something to keep me writing when i'm stuck for ideas on the other one :P
Chapter 1: Blood
The bell tolled as all the students in the Great Hall rushed to class. Gisele Blackburn, a sixth-year, paused momentarily in front of the girls' bathroom and dashed in. Dumping her books on the table, she checked her make-up in the mirror and whipped out her eyeliner from her robe pocket.
"Damn," she hissed as her hand slipped and left a huge black mark down her face. She knew that if she was late one more time, Professor Slughorn was sure to give her a detention. Wiping her face, she picked her books up and turned to leave when suddenly, the door slammed open.
Tom Riddle effectively manoeuvred away from Professor Slughorn, knowing that if he was caught, he'd be stuck having a pointless conversation with the walrus-like teacher. He had to keep an eye on that Gisele girl before she got away. After he was finished with that girl he would be one step closer to ridding the magical world of filthy mudbloods. He watched her as she stepped into the bathroom and started to follow her when,
"My Lord," a voice whispered behind him. It took a great amount of self-control to turn around and avoid hexing the person who was currently ruining his plan.
"Ah, Mulciber," Tom stiffly acknowledged. "What is it?"
"My Lord, I have heard rumours - "
"Can it wait?" Tom hissed, "I have something to take care of." Mulciber gulped.
"Well if you insist, my Lord, however I feel it is necessary - " But Tom had already started walking away. Defeated, Mulciber left.
His plan formulated in his mind, as Tom strode to the girls bathroom, wand at the ready. She would be an easy target, he mused. Just as easy as her cousin. Watching from the doorway, Tom stared as she smudged eyeliner all over her face and decided to make his grand entrance. Slamming, the door open, he immediately yelled,
"Expelliarmus!" A shocked gasp escaped the frightened girl's lips as her wand flew from her pocket into Tom's waiting hand.
He could see the fear in her eyes, hell, he could even smell it. Pointing his wand directly at her face, he thought about how he would approach this.
"Wh-what do you want, Riddle" she spat. Tom became enraged. No one showed disrespect to him. No one. And now she was going to learn what happened to people who disrespected him.
"CRUCIO!"
The girl's screams filled the entire bathroom, before Tom realised he had to cast the Silencing Charm.
"Not so tough are you now?" he sneered. The girl took a deep breath and stared at him directly in the eyes. The brilliant indigo of hers met the cold grey of Tom's with a steely glare. He was caught off guard and by the time he'd recovered himself, she had already gotten up and snatched her wand back from him.
"I know what you did to my cousin, you, you monster," she accused shakily. "You may get away with the professors but I know what you really did." Tom laughed inwardly. Oh if only she'd really known what a monster he was and what he was going to do. He shrugged at her.
"Mudbloods are scum. Not worthy of possessing a wand or being part of the magical society. Myrtle was a mudblood. You are a mudblood. Expelliarmus," he shouted once more.
"You never learn do you?" he spat at her. "I will become the most powerful wizard of all time while filth like you will be begging me for mercy."
He raised his wand and prepared to say those two powerful words. It would be easy. Two seconds and it would be over. She was a smart witch, he grudgingly thought, but there she lay. On the floor of a bathroom, wandless and defenceless. It was the perfect situation. To come one step closer to achieving total power over the rest of the wizarding world. But as Tom stared down at those indigo eyes, mentally preparing himself to kill her, he thought. If it really is that easy, then why can't I bring myself to do it?
Gisele lay on the floor, her heart pounding, as she waited for it to all be over. Poor Myrtle, she thought, you also suffered the same fate. But Gisele would not let her fear show. She stared once more into those cold grey eyes, mentally saying goodbye to her mum, dad, Avery, William, her cat Tiger and her beloved Aunt Gina. She prepared herself for those two words that would surely seal her fate, when suddenly,
"SECTUMSEMPRA!" She was overcome with pain as she bled profusely, that she couldn't scream. Searching for the psycho, she saw him staring at her with…confusion? But before she could figure what it was, he disappeared and Gisele blacked out on the bathroom floor.
