" Tom, why are they staring at me?" Hailey asked, the dark-haired female was walking inside the great hall with her best friend Tom Riddle.

Tom Riddle and Hailey Potter have been friends since they were in diapers, instead of going to the Dursley like Albus Dumbledore wanted, the state took in the infant and that's when the two meet and they couldn't stay away from each other.

Not even for a minute.

The Gryffindor male glared around the room daring anyone to make a move, the others looked away.

" I don't know, but we'll find out soon enough".

The two focus on Dumbledore's speech, it wasn't long before the feast came and everyone begins to eat.

Hailey scanned the table of food and picked out what she liked.

She bit into the chicken and immediately moaned at the taste of it.

Her eyes closed in bliss but opened them when she felt something wipe at her chin.

Her eyes shift to her best friend. " Hmm?".

Tom chuckled. " You have food on your chin, love. I was only cleaning it off".

Hailey hummed and continued to eat, while Tom did the same.

Across the table from them Draco Malfoy was clenching his fist, he eyed the Gryfinddor table as Tom And Hailey ate.

A part of him wanted to go over there and snatch her away from public eyes. But he didn't want to cause a scene.

Next to him, Blaise nudged him and the pale boy looked at his friend.

" what is it, Blaise?".

" Are you not hungry? You better eat, before the food is all gone. And what are you looking at?" The dark-Skinned Slytherin asked.

" That Tom Riddle boy. He is always at Hailey's side. Why can't they be separated for a few minutes?!."

Blaise arched an eyebrow while a confused facial expression was on his face.

" You like her don't you?".

Draco's eyes widened at the question. He looked at his friend and nodded his head. " Yes, I do".

Blaise smiled. " Of course you do. And yeah they are always together because they are friends, they grew up together, so Tom is always around to protect her".

" That makes sense. But still, he hovers around her like she belongs to him".

Tom Riddle paused from his food and looked over at the Slytherin table.

He heard " She belongs to him" and he nearly growled.

Hailey was his, she was his Soulmate. And no one would take her from him.

As the feast came to a near, he stood up and grabbed her arm, and took her from the Public eyes.

while Draco glared at his back, as Blaise smiles and shakes his head.

This will be an interesting year.
