Chapter 5


The next few days leading up to the day they leave for Hogwarts were great for both Tom and Belinda. They spent time walking around Diagon Alley or in the room reading or enjoying each other. They had yet to have sex but they couldn't keep there hands off each other for to long.

"What time does the train leave, love." Belinda ask as she came out of the bathroom from getting dressed. Tom looked at her from where he was closing there trunks and smiled. She looked every bit the dark lady, in her black Hogwarts robes, long dark hair and some dark make up around her eyes.

"11. We have just enough time to finish eating. The cab will be here in 20 minutes." he told her and she nodded. They ate quickly, shrank there trucks and Tom grabbed Nagini's cage in one hand and Belinda's hand in the other.

They waited out front for the cab that arrived right on time.

"Kings crossing." Tom told him. He man nodded before driving off.

Belinda was excited but kept a calm face the whole way, trying to ignore the cab driver trying to see up her skirt. Perv.

"Here you are." the driver said stopping the car. They got out and Tom leaned into the drivers window and paid him.

"The next time you try to look up my girls skirt will be your last day alive on this earth." Tom told the man in his cold voice. The man nodded before driving off. Belinda smirked. Her Tom didn't put up with anyone's shit.

He drug her by her hand through the crowed train station. Both of them sneering at all the muggles. When they reached the platform between 9 and 10 Tom walked forward straight into the brink wall. Belinda trusted him and just followed.

To her surprise it was a magical archway and dumped them on platform 9 ¾. Belinda saw tons of witches and wizards dropping off there kids. The big red train engine was blowing in the back ground.

"This way." Tom said and lead her towards the front of the train. They boarded and weaved in and out of other kids until they got to the first compartment. It had a S on the door.

"Slytherin couch." Tom told her and she nodded. He opened the door, un shrunk there trunks and stored them in the racks above. He then pulled her to his normal seat and they sat down, placed Nagini tank next to them.

They were the first there so they had to wait for everyone else. Belinda was silent as she watched the families outside the platform saying good bye and rushing to get on board.

The compartment started to quickly fill after that. The Slytherins came in, bowed slightly to Tom and took there seats. The younger children sitting near the front and away from the older children. All but Abraxas gave her strange looks, wondering who she was, why she was there and most importantly, why she was sitting with Tom with his hand around her waist holding her close. But everyone knew him well enough not to question his actions.

Abraxas smirked at himself. Feeling special and pleased that he was the first to meet his future dark lady.

After the train started to move Tom gave Belinda's hand a comforting squeeze. She looked at him for a moment and nodded as if sensing his thoughts.

Tom looked back at all the other 6th and 7th years students and even a few 5th years and cleared his throat. As one they all turned to face him, giving there undivided attention. Belinda smirked on the inside. Tom has done a great job in getting there respect and fear.

"I'd like for you all to meet, Belinda Corbin. Transfer student in 6th year. She is also going to be at my side from now on, my dark lady if you will. She is to be treated with the same respect as I am. You are to protect her if need be, but I can tell you all she is worthy to stand at my side. If any disrespect is shown towards her or my orders are not followed you will pay for it with your life. Is that completely understood." Tom said looking at each of them with narrowed eyes.

They all looked at Belinda who met each of there gazes with a cold 'don't fuck with me or I will kill you' look. Everyone gulped and nodded. All thinking the same thing.

This couple is not to be messed with and no one will stand in there way of what they want.

Tom pointed out who everyone ways. Son's and daughter of some of the most influential families in the wizarding world. Malfoy, Black, LeStrange, Nott, Parkinson, Crabbe, Goyle, Greenegrass and several others. All prided themselves on there pureblood and family history. All believed in Tom's vision of a new Wizarding World. And all fans of the dark arts.

They arrived at Kings Crossing near sun down. Tom led Belinda off the train and towards the carriages that would take them to the castle. The other Slytherins formed a group around the two as if they were trained to do so. Which after she thought for a moment they probably were.

Belinda walked beside Tom proudly with her head held high and a cold mask on her face, giving nothing away.

The Slytherins got to the carriages and pushed other houses out of the way letting Tom and Belinda climb in first. Once everyone was in a carriage they made the long trek to the castle.

Belinda gasp softly to herself with the castle came into view. It was beautiful. Her old school looked for like a regular muggle school but this was what she always pictured a magical school should have looked like.

"You like." Tom whispered in her ear. She gave a smile only he could see and nodded.

"It's breathtaking." she whispered and then smiled when he gave her a kiss. She heard several gasp from the people in the carriage with them. Tom pulled away and glared at them all, causing them to advert there eyes. Once he was satisfied he turned back towards Belinda and kissed her again.

"See, told you nothing would change." he whispered and she nodded turning back towards the window trying not to smile like an idiot.

When the carriage stopped and they walked inside they were stopped at the great hall door by Dumbledore.

"Ah, Miss. Corbin there you are. And I see your already making friends." Dumbledore said looking and Tom and Belinda's clasped hands. Tom put a possessive arm around Belinda and looked at Dumbledore with warning. All moves that the old headmaster caught. It was clear Tom had claimed this girl.

"Yes, Headmaster I have." Belinda told him. Tom gave the other Slytherins a look and they left quickly to take there seats in the great hall.

"Well I just wanted to let you know that you will wait outside the great hall until your called in, then you will be sorted. And can join whatever house you end up in." Dumbledore said. Belinda nodded and watched the old man walked away.

"I will save you a seat." Tom told her. He gave her a long kiss before he too went into the great hall, though reluctantly. He didn't like her being out of his sight where he couldn't protect her.

Belinda waited in the shadows watching as all the students filed in. Everyone passed not even seeing her. She had always been good at blending in with the shadows and darkness. She felt comfortable to let it just swallow her up and hide her.

Once all the students were seated Dumbledore stood and sorted the first years. Belinda listened as one by one the new 11 years olds found there house.

"And now we have one more student to sort before we eat. We are pleased to welcome a transfer 6th year student from Salem school of witchcraft in America. Please help me welcome. Miss. Belinda Corbin. Miss, Corbin if you please." Dumbledore said and the great hall door opened slowly.

Everyone turned to look as Belinda came in and walked with purpose and superior air towards the head table. Tom smirked. She was perfect.

She turned and sat on the stool and let the headmaster place the old hat on her head.

"Ah, Miss. Corbin. About time you came to Hogwarts. Let's see both parents in Ravenclaw and you are very smart indeed. But there's darkness there. Oh yes, we will see great things from you in the future. Now where to put you." he hat said to her.

"Put me anywhere but Slytherin and I will be the last head you sort." Belinda replied back in a cold voice. The hat laughed.

"Oh. Yes. I know where you belong. SLYTHERIN." the hat shouted.

The Slytherin table cheered as Belinda handed the hat back to a stunned Dumbledore. He was sure she would be in Ravenclaw like her parents.

Belinda walked over towards where Tom was standing at the head of the table. He gave her a quick kiss to congratulate her before she took her spot next to him. A spot she would stay for there entire stay at Hogwarts. Where she belonged. At his side.

"Now, then. Eat up everyone." Dumbledore said when he shook himself out of his daze. He clapped his hands and food covered all four tables.

They ate and chatted for a while. Belinda met some of the girls in her year. Walburga Black, Druella Rosier and Rose Parkinson. The three other girls she would share a room with.

Tom talked with his closet classmates or also his roommates. Abraxas Malfoy, Rodolphus LeStrange Sr., Evan Rosier Sr., Mulciber Sr., and a boy named Nott Sr. as well.

"So, Belinda how did you and Tom meet and end up, ya know, together." Walburga ask her. She glanced at Tom who nodded and went back to talking, still holding her hand though.

"I moved to the same orphanage that he lives in. That's where we met, this summer." she told them and they nodded and awed. These girls where nice, pure bloods but right now they were not cut out to be death eaters. Belinda didn't think they could kill or torture anyone if they had too. Belinda on the other hand couldn't wait till she had free rein to do as she please. She found she enjoyed making people scream. When she torture the boy at her other place in America she got a high from it, she couldn't wait to see what it felt like to kill someone.

"Now that were all fed and watered, off to bed with you." Dumbledore said once the food was gone.

"Fed and watered? What are we dogs?" Belinda ask and Tom chuckled at her disgusted look she shot Dumbledore.

Tom showed the way to the Slytherin common room in the dungeons as soon as they made it to the portrait, there head of house Slughorn stopped them.

"Miss, Corbin, Welcome to Slytherin, Tom good to see you again." Slughorn said with a wide smiled.

"It's good to be back Professor. Belinda, Slughorn is the Potions master here and head of the Slug club." Tom told her and she smiled and shook his hand.

"It's a pleasure sir. I cant wait for your class. Potions is one of my favorites." she told him and he smiled wider, if that was possible.

"Excellent, then maybe you will be in my Slug Club as well. But I've come to tell you that the headmaster would like to see you in his office." Slughorn said and Tom frowned.

"Am I in trouble?" she ask and he shook his head.

"No, dear. He just wants to talk. Tom can show you the way if you'd like." he told her and they both nodded, turned around and headed towards the headmasters office.

"Wonder what he wants." Belinda ask and Tom shrugged.

"No telling with him. Acid pops." Tom said as they came to the stairway and gave the password. They took the moving stairs towards the top and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

"Ah, Belinda and Tom. Belinda please come in and have a seat. Tom could you please wait outside for a moment." Dumbledore said. Tom hid a scowl but nodded and went back outside and closed the door. Belinda took a seat in front of his desk.

She could feel him trying to get into her mind, but she had already master Occlumency at her old school and kept her walls shut. He pulled out when he couldn't get in and looked at her.

"I just wanted to say I was surprised you ended up in Slytherin house. Since both your parents were Ravenclaws. Nice people your parents." Dumbledore told her.

"I wouldn't know, professor as I don't really remember them much." Belinda said and he nodded.

"I see you have become close with Mr. Riddle. You too seem to be involved." Dumbledore said and Belinda frowned.

"Is that a problem, sir." she ask him.

"No, I'm just surprised. I have never seen Tom act as he does with you. As if you belong to him." Dumbledore commented.

"No disrespect sir. But do you make it a point to know all your students personal affairs." Belinda ask.

"No, no of course not. I just wanted to make sure you were careful, that's all." he told her.

"I am sir. There's no need to worry." she told him and he nodded.

"Was that all. I'd like to get a good nights sleep for my first day." she said and he nodded.

"Of course. Just remember my office is always open if you need it." he said. She stood, nodded and left the room. Tom was waiting, pacing back and forth outside and the bottom of the stairs. As soon as he saw her he pulled her to his side and wrapped his arm tightly around her waist, he didn't trust Dumbledore as far as he could throw him.

"What did he want." Tom ask her as he started to lead her down the hall.

"He was being nosey. Wanted to know what was going on between us, wanted to tell me to be careful. He also tried using Legilimens on me but I have already master Occlumency and I kept my walls shut." Belinda told him and his arm around her waist tightened as Tom tried to rein in his temper.

How dare Dumbledore try to get her to leave him and how dare he try to invade her mind. At least she was as good at Occlumency as he was. He planned to teach her Legilimens, then they could talk in there minds with no one knowing about it.

"Don't worry about him, Belinda. He just has never liked me." he said still not happy. She didn't say anything about the arm that was painfully squeezing her, not that she cared. She liked it. She just patted his arm and smiled.

"I'm not worried about him, Tom. He wont scare me away." she told him. He smiled and pushed her into an alcove and pressed her into the wall. He them slammed his lips down onto hers and smirked when she moaned.

Belinda love it when he did this and she knew it was just to reaffirm his hold on her. Not that he needed it. Nothing in this world would make her turn her back on him, nothing. But still she loved the possessiveness.

"Don't ever let anyone take you from me." he said when he pulled away and stared into her eyes. She dropped her barriers so he could see how she felt.

"Never, Nothing in this world would make me betray you." she said.

He felt his heart and magic swelled. She would always be there, he could always trust her, she would follow him anywhere. He saw it in here mind.

She'd walk to hell with him if he ask. And he would make sure to always cherish her, always.
