the slytherin boys imagines and reacts

t.r ☆ cold heart

❃゜・。. ・°゜✼ ゜°・ . 。・゜❃

you couldn't wait to see tom, it was finally the last day of school before spring break. you
planned to see him after classes as usual and would rant to him despite him rarely ever
replying but you didn't mind.

that was a lie, you did. you minded a lot. it hurt when you would go to him excited about
something and tell him about your day only to receive a "that sounds great" if you were
even lucky enough to get a reply.

tom riddle was a cold hearted man. he always had been. he was never one to let his guard
down or show much of his feelings, so why would he do it with you?

despite having known him since first year, he didn't let you in on much of his life. but it
was okay - you understood he had a rough childhood and upbringing so you never forced
him to open up even though it would mean the world if he did.

you finally approached his dorm, knocking before you entered. "hey tom," you smiled as
you saw him on his desk writing away.

"hello," he didn't even move or look up at you once. ouch.

"how are you? are you excited for the party tonight? i think i'm going with hermoine but i
would love if you came also," you smiled as you held your hands behind you nervously.

"you know i don't do parties," tom said.

"yeah right. well, um, maybe we could go for a meal? somewhere in hogsmeade?" you knew he would say no but it was worth a shot.

"im busy," he said and got up from his chair. it slightly startled you but you continued to
speak.

"that's okay. maybe i could come see you sometime during the holidays? im going back
home for a bit but im sure i can drop by a couple of times-" you were cut off by tom.

"gosh, do you ever shut up? cant you see im not in the mood to speak to you? go, leave."
tom snapped.

you felt your heart drop and tears immediately formed in your eyes. you debated on saying
something but you knew if you did then the waterworks would just fall.

you nodded and sharply turned around before leaving toms dorm. was he joking? did that
actually happen? he had never blown up on you like that, ever.

you felt like he had just stepped onto your heart and it hurt knowing he was likely un- phased about it and would just continue to read or write. god you fucking hated him. but you loved him, too.

he was always there for you, despite never really saying much. he always offered a shoulder to lean on when things were hard. he was your first kiss, your first shag, first boyfriend. you had never felt so comfortable around him.

you were too blindsided by the fact that tom wasn't the person you thought he was - a
sweet, shy boy who hardly spoke. he was the opposite. he was filled with pride and would
shut anyone out no matter how much it hurt. it was only a matter of time before it was you.

you wiped away some tears which had fell as you approached your dorm. you wanted to cry but you couldn't. you opened your door and hermoine was sat on her bed texting away,
no doubt ron.

"hey- oh my, what happened?" hermoine got up immediately once she noticed the ruined
mascara under your eyes.

you couldn't even say anything; you just collapsed then and there into her arms. "he told me to shut up and leave," you cried despite not wanting to earlier.
