-Death is not a lover

oh, yeah he is

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

History of magic class.

Tom was sitting alone in his desk thinking. Even thought he was annoyed by Freyja when she was constantly provoking him, he wanted her back. Maybe he liked it. Maybe he liked that she was always up for a fight. Maybe he liked her attitude. He liked that she was the only one that wasn't afraid of him. They were the same, even if Freyja didn't want to accept it. They say opposites attract , but what if their story was a different case?

As he was going through the pages of his book, his eyes fell into a very interesting title. Merlin's green stone is able to bring back the dead. Tom flipped to that page and started reading. Merlin, right before he died, created a stone, so powerful, that it is be able to make the dead...alive. That stone, with a combination of a specific spell, Merlin himself created, could bring back the dead!

The rest of the page was blank. There was no other information. No information about where to find it, no information about what the spell is, nothing.

Tom raised his hand to speak. "professor, may I ask you a question?"

"Of course, mr Riddle"

"What can you tell us about merlin's green stone?"

The professor froze and looked at Tom shocked. "Where did you learn about it?"

"It is on page 186 on our history book."

Immediately, every kid turned to that page, almost synchronized. They read the paragraph and the class filled with voices. "Is it the Resurrection Stone?''

The professor let out a breath and started speaking "Merlin's green stone was a stone that could make the dead, alive, as you can see on your book. It is completely forbidden by the ministry. It is considered the darkest form of dark magic. After the unforgivable curses of course. It can even "Undone" the killing curse."

Tom's face lit up. That's what he wanted. That stone would bring Freyja back. But first, he needed to find it. And he knew exactly the person that could help him with it.

Great hall, lunch time.

Tom was sitting quiet, thinking. The rest of the team was having fun, talking with each other, except Adryan. He had his eyes glued on Tom the whole time. He saw Tom leave the common room with Freyja the previous night and the fact that no one has seen Freyja this day , made him worry. "Tom, can I speak with you?''

Even thought Tom heard him, he didn't talk or even look at him. Adryan's annoyance was obvious. He knew Tom wanted his followers to call him 'Lord' but he refused to address him that at the specific time.

"Tom..." Tom did nothing. Darius looked at Adryan and told him the obvious "You know what he wants."

Adryan let out a sigh and turned to Tom. "My Lord, can I talk with you privately?" Tom's blue, cold eyes met Adryan's brown ones. "Yes" He said sternly and got up from his seat. Adryan followed Tom out of the great hall, in one of the empty corridors, so that the teachers couldn't see them.

"Where is Freyja?" Adryan pinned Tom against the wall. The height difference was big. Tom was way taller than Adryan. His tall height allowed him to be dominant, so he quickly got of his loose grip.

"Excuse me?"

"You heard what I just said... Where is Freyja?"

"Why when someone disappears, I am always the one to blame?"

"Because I saw you two , last night, sneaking out of the common room and she didn't come back. She wasn't on lunch, she skipped class and neither of you were to breakfast this morning."

"I can assure you, mr Ashford, that miss O'Lone went back to her room last night and I want to remind you that it is not the first time she mysteriously disappears or skipped class. As for today, I had an unfinished assignment, so I woke up earlier and visited the library. Satisfied?"

Adryan looked at him from head to toe. "I just find it rather strange that you are asking about a stone that can bring back the dead the same day Freyja is missing. And we both know what you are able to do and how far you can go."

"Don't forget who you are talking to , Ashford. I am not one of your stupid friends. I am your Lord! And never forget that, because someday , you will regret it. Just like you said, we both know what I am capable of."

"You are no one. You are just another student that thinks they are ambitious, but they are just foolish. I need to warn Freyja about you. And don't you dare take her to the team. You don't deserve her. If she is alive..."

Tom didn't speak. He just grabbed Adryan by the arm, so tight, it left a big, ugly bruise. He pinned him against the same wall he was previously leaning on. His strong hand met his throat and started chocking him. Tom stayed silent, but you could understand that he was angry by his sharp face expressions. Adryan's eyes started watering. He began talking big breaths, trying to fill his lungs with fresh air. An unknown voice made Tom release Adryan and make him fall on his knees.

"Petrified student! Petrified student!"

Tom closed his eyes and took and deep breath. He almost forgot about the basilisk. A young kid, dressed in blue robes, appeared, running from a corner. The ravenclaw student run into the great hall and after a couple of seconds, three professors and the nurse started running to the direction the child came from. Once they left, Tom turned to Adryan.

"I hope you learned your lesson. Keep in mind, that the next time, I am not going to let you go."

The classes for the rest of the day were cancelled. Everyone had to get back to their dormitories. As Tom made his way to his room, he took some time to observe the chaos around him. Scared students screaming, crying, panicking in every corner of the castle. Everybody was afraid of being the next victim. None of the students have died yet, but it was a matter of time until Hogwarts close due to multiple deaths. Correction, murders. Teachers and students were doing everything they could to stop whatever was causing it.

Tom had the worst time of all. His life was a mess and he didn't knew what to do. Even thought he should be happy his plan is working, he had more important things to deal with. Freyja is gone, Adryan is suspecting him and above all , he had to gain Lilith's trust again.

When he arrived at his room, he quickly took a piece of paper and a quill and started writing. Thankfully, none of his roommates were there, so he didn't had any distractions. He will be able to get his own room, but not until after Christmas break.

When he was done, he gave the letter to his owl and told him his destination, hoping she would respond soon.

The next morning...

Tom woke due to the annoying sound his owl made. Fucking bird... He muttered as he opened his eyes . When he saw that his bird was holding a brown piece of paper, he quickly got up from his bed and got the letter.

Dear Tom,

I got your mail last night and I wanted to write you back immediately. To begin with, I would like to apologize for my actions. I was too harsh towards you and you clearly just wanted to help. My mind was vague; I couldn't think clear. I apologize and promise to help you with whatever you need. About the chaos, I will do my best for Hogwarts not to close anytime soon. Also, you need to do something about that boy. If he figures out what is going on, both of us will go to Azkaban. Please, keep an eye on Freyja, we don't want anyone to find her. As for the stone, it is a good idea, but the ministry has completely banned it years ago. I will do my best to try and find and if I do, I will send It to you with the correct spell. Until then, be careful and we will talk again.

Hope to hear from you soon,

Lilith Esmeralda O'Lone
