Chapter 23: The idiots
"I guess we should continue this later." Tom said looking at Ginny, Ginny noticed his eyes seemed a bit deeper; they seemed to turn to a darker green. Ginny watched him walk a bit closer to her. She found herself walking back, but she stopped as she felt the slime covered wall on her back. 'Great, just great.' Ginny thought
Tom sneered as he placed his arms around Ginny. He pulled away from her quickly, seeing a smirk on her lips.
"How is it you always manage not to get slimed?" Ginny asked
"Because I know the chamber." Tom started "You just always manage to get close to the walls."
"I wonder why Tom." Ginny said, annoyed
Tom chuckled. "I guess we better leave then."
"How do we leave, last time Harry and Professor Dumbledors Phonix took us out, flying."
Tom just looked at Ginny, and then took her arm with his hand, pulling her.
He stopped once they got to a opening.
"Lumos!" Tom said, a lazy tone in his voice
The shadows vanished, revealing a staircase.
"It leads up to the portrait of Salazar in the dungeons." Tom drawled
"So, how did you discover that?"
"Simple. I used my head in getting out of here. And the Basilisk told me." Tom said, grinning "Potter is a idiot."
"So, how do you get in by the stairs?"
"It's all Parselmouth Ginevra love." Tom said flatly
"Figured. Can we go now?" Ginny asked
"Of course, ladies first."
"I wish you were around to teach my brothers proper manors." Ginny said in a mumble
Tom chuckled, following Ginny up the stairs.
After placing a charm on Ginny for her robes to not be soaked in slime, Tom left her at the entrance to Gryffindor common room, then headed to send an Owl to his older self.
Ever since Ginny saying the suicide thing, he was confused.
'It cant be suicide though. If I kill my older self, then I wont vanish from history...but then again, since my soul has been splinterd in many ways, who knows?' Tom thought
He got to the owlary, and took the letter he had written from his robes pocket. He tied it to his own owls leg, and told it where to go. He watched the bird fly far off into the distence, at a slow pace.
The day had gone by so fast. Classes tomorrow. It was already sun-set.
"Damn. Potions essay, and History of Magic essay." Tom muttered jogging away from the owlary. He'd have to rush down the tower, to get to the boys dorm.
He'd need to start now. Skip dinner. He could always get dinner later, a late night snack, at least.
Next Day.
Tom had woken up at six am, after going to bed a 1am. He was a little tired, but use to the strange hours. Ginny would most likely be up at 7, so he had time. He changed into his uniform, and robes, and headed out of the common. As he walked through the dungeon halls, he saw something coming at him. It dropped something at his feet, and vanished. He picked up what was dropped. And read:
'Tom,
Snape is one of ours.
He's spying on Dumbledores little army.'
At reading that, Tom set the letter on fire with imperio.
'Alright. So that information was pointless, but how do we know he is on our side, not spying for them?'Tom thought.
He rushed up the staircases, then to the floor that the Great Hall was on. He slowed down his pace, and walked into the Great Hall. The great smells of breakfest filled his sense's. He headed to the Slytherin table, spotting Ginny.
She was yawning, and looked a little upset. He started walking to her, when he saw her eyes snap all the way open, and her head waving in a 'no'.
"Riddly! Stay away from my sister!" Ronald Weasley shouted. Now in front of the res haired girl.
Potter moved into the front too.
"Yeah Riddly. Stay away from the lady, she doesnt want to be around you." Potter added
Through the crack between the two idio...boys, Tom saw Ginny make a sour face. This caused Tom to smirk.
"Well, gentlemen, maybe we could talk this over, I say, let the lady speak for herself."
"I know whats good for my sister, Riddly." Ron said, turning red
Tom walked closer, but then stopped. The two idiots had wands drawn to him.
Tom then realized something.
His hand moved to the Slytherin Crest on his robes, then to a tiny silver badge.
"20 points from Gryffindor, for pulling a wand on a prefect. Another 20 points for keeping a prefect from patroll duty in the morning. Be on your way."
Harry and Ron had shocked looks on each of there faces.
Ginny now had a smirk on, as she walked past the two boys.
Tom's smirk grew. Ah this was to good.
"Go away Ronnikins and Harry, we dont want mum to send howlers, because you wont leave your little sister alone Ron, and Harry. Tom is a good friend, why would I not want to be around a friend?"
Harry looked at Ginny.
"I just am looking out for you well being.
"You dont have to Harry." Ginny said flatly
"Remember last time, we have to keep you in our sites, we dont want the chamb..."
"GO AWAY POTTER." Ginny just said, shouting.
Tom was even wide-eyed at this.
"Come on Ginny love, we have plenty of space at the Slytherin table, it seems your fellow Gryffindors dont know how to treat a lady, or accept that a lady has beliefs in Hour Unity." Tom moved his arm around Ginnys shoulder, and took her right hand in his own, guiding her to the Slytherin table.
Harry and Ron just glared at Tom.
They really disliked him now.
