Only Mine

Violet Black

I woke up alone in the dorm. Cassie must have stayed with Abraxas last night. I hated to sleep alone, I hadn't for so long that it felt strange. I was always sleeping with either Tom or Cass and Ella.

Either way it felt strange and I hated change.

It had been about another week since New Years and since the awkward confrontation with the new boy.

Time felt as if it didn't exist at the moment. It felt that everything had gone by so fast and it left me behind.

Everything with Tom happened so fast it was almost a blur in my mind. A fragment of my imagination.

But it wasn't.

And I couldn't sleep because of the thought of being without him and still having to act as if we were together in front of our friends, was breaking me.

Sooner or later I would snap and I would need to tell Cassie and Abraxas. It hurt to pretend.

Thoughts of Tom and the new boy clouded my mind for some time as I tried to gather my thoughts before slowly crawling out of my warm duvet that gently covered my body.

I couldn't quite understand why I felt such an attraction towards Leo when the only person I ever wanted to be with was Tom.

I felt my mind constrict at the thoughts of just having both. But Tom was different now.

Cruel even.

Sure he loved me and he tells me he loves me. But he never truly acts as though he feel anything really. 

When we would be alone he would be so rude and just always try to start an argument over who left who and how I could never say I loved him because I was the one who left in the first place.

But the thing he doesn't understand is I fell in love with a boy who was sweet, caring, soft and gentle.

The boy he turned into was cruel, evil, ambitious for only himself, selfish, and none other than a murderer.

That was not who I fell in love with.

I got changed and showered before heading to my first class of the day, there was so much stress these past few weeks with everyone trying to decide who to go to the ball with and NEWTs coming up.

Both subject were the farthest things in my mind when all my mind ever had in it was those two boys.

All I ever heard out of anyone's mouths was gossip about who is taking who to the ball, it got quite annoying when girls I hadn't even knew asked me if I knew if Tom had a date already.

I personally had no desire to attend the ball.

Cassie had asked me to go shopping with her in Hogsmeade to get a dress, she wanted to look extra special for Brax.

As I walked down and into the Potions classroom for the final year, I was met by a tall dark haired rugged body towering over me.

I looked up into the chocolate and honey brown eyes of the boy I ran into, "S- sorry- Oh Leo... hey!" I say semi- cheerfully, gathering my books that nearly fell out of my arms at the sudden impact.

He looked down at me, a small smile spreading across his lips. "Violet - good morning." He says with a raspy morning voice that subtly made me tense up.

I take a seat closest to where we were standing and open my potions book, looking back up at him. "You can sit if you like.." I say jokingly as he stares down at me. He straightens up and chuckles softly, "Alright - if you insist."

Slughorn had started to talk to the class but I found myself getting distracted just by Leo's presence so close to me.

I was daydreaming of things I never thought I would daydream about. Dirty things.

"You know - you're making me quite nervous staring at me like that..." He jokes, still looking down at his cauldron and stirring the vial of Ptolemy into his potion. I shift in my seat out of embarrassment.

"I wasn't staring I was - "

"Admiring?" he joans, his smirk still intact on his thin lips.

"No - no" I respond quickly. "I was just - just wondering how you are so good at potions..." I make up a lie on the spot.

"Ah - well... my mother taught me mostly everything she knew about potions... I guess that's why I am exceptionally pristine at the subject.." He says, finally locking eyes with me.

I nod, "You're mother - was she a potions master?" I ask as I begin helping him add ingredients into the cauldron. I couldn't help but feel unusually intrigued by him, wanting to get to know more about him.

I took in his every feature from his chiseled jawline to his honey brown irises that just melted perfectly into his dark pupils.

How he had a tiny scar above his right eyebrow and how his lips were so soft and naturally moisturized. I got the sudden urge to just grip his face and kiss him.

But I didn't.

I felt weird. Like all of this had happened. But it hadn't. I wasn't quite sure how to describe the feelings I was feeling towards him.

It was different from Tom. Like it was a desire instead of a requisite.

He keeps looking at me as I crush up the powdered moonstone and scrape it into the cauldron.

"15 minuets left!" Slughorn announces.

"Yeah at Durmstrang.." He answers my question. I push a strand of hair away from my eyes, looking back up at him. "May I ask why you transferred?" I ask slowly.

He looks at me with dopey eyes and a wavering smile, turning into a smirk and his features starting to tighten as he clenches his jaw. "I will tell you tonight if.... you let me take you to the ball." He responds.

My eyes widen at surprise, and I felt my heart slowly start to speed up. "You couldn't just tell me?" I question, as I smile down at my hands pouring the potion into a tiny vial.

"Alright- guess you will never know then..." He whispers, inching closer to me and putting his hand on the small of my back, his lips were close to my ear.

Before he gets just close enough he backs away and begins cleaning up our work area after Slughorn dismisses the class.

"Oh come on - now you have to tell me, Ill be thinking of it all day Leo.." I say pleadingly as I follow him out of the Potions classroom.

"If you change your mind I will be in the Astronomy Tower at 7 tonight." He says as he begins to turn around, winking before he walks away.

I smile to myself, feeling overwhelmingly smitten by this new boy, before I walk to my next class which happened to be Charms with none other than Tom.

I almost completely forgot about him. I walked into Charms and sat at an empty table at the back of the classroom.

I waited a few minuets before the rest of the class starting piling in from the corridors. As I fidgeted with my fingers I heard the chair screech onto the floor.

I looked up, "Hello Beautiful." Tom whispers before sitting next to me at the Charms table.

"Hi - what's got you in such a good mood?" I question as I begin to pick at a scab that had formed on my forearm.

"I heard a few rumors Violet - And I have to say I am not very happy about them."

I look up at him, his emerald orbs piercing mine in a look of deep adoration but also possessiveness.

"What are you talking about?" I ask.

"I think you know what I am talking about you two timing whore." He spits, his mood immediately shifting from adoration to pure hatred.

I was taken aback by his words and I scoff.

"Now - why the fuck would I ask if I knew and you have no fucking right to call me a whore when you have been shagging half of Hogwarts since we broke up."

I was fuming. I felt hot anger course through my veins. Just looking at him say such accusations was enraging.

"Fuck - you have always been so fucking hot when you are being feisty. " He whispers. He runs his finger across my cheek bone.

"Don't touch me. You lost that right when you lied to me for months on end." I spit, slapping his hand away from my face.

"Ahh now - now don't you remember my love? I claim you - you will always be mine forever." His lips curl into a smirk.

I felt my skin turn hotter as my blood pressure began to sky rocket.

"What the fuck are talking about? You claim me? We are not together anymore - therefore I can do whatever the fuck I shall please especially since you believe you can do whatever you please whenever you please."

"See that's the thing - I can do whatever I please - but you on the other hand... you're mine. And you know I would never let anyone else touch you the way I do." He responds, his eyes were now twinkling with evil.

"Fuck you Tom Riddle." I spit, as I quickly gather my books and supplies and begin to stand before he grips my hand and pull me back down.

He pushes my hair out of my face and pulls me closer to his lips, "He won't love you like I do Violet." He whispers in my ear.

"And you will never love him the way you love me. You can't get rid of me so easily my love." He continues before letting go of me.

I gulp, and straighten myself out. I stayed silent as I turned on my heel and walked out of the Charms classroom.

I was flustered and my cheeks were a burning sensation of garnet. My palms began to sweat as I rubbed my forehead.

I continued to walk down the empty hallways, trying to make sense of whatever the fuck just happened.

But I failed.
