4 years later

Ava Tailor (Y/n)

*I feel bad....I want him...I need him I want to go back to him..*

Ava Tailor (Y/n)

*It has been 4 years since I left for a school in France. Never has a day passed without thinking of him. Never has a night passed without dreaming of him*

Ava Tailor (Y/n)

*I was in 5th year when I was in hogwarts and now I am a graduate, moving back to England. I received a job as an assistant teacher for history of magic*

Ava Tailor (Y/n)

*I just hope I don't meet someone I shouldn't *

*During the past two years without you, Tom had gone through hell. He had buried his feelings, thrown himself into his studies, and eventually graduated from Hogwarts. Despite the success he had achieved, none of it mattered.*

*Now, a famous and accomplished Ministry officer, he was also a mess. He would take on increasingly dangerous tasks, throw himself recklessly into situations that made him feel alive.*

*In his free time, he spent most of his days going through the corridors of Hogwarts, still hoping to find you, hoping to find any hint of you.*

Tom Riddle

*He had gotten colder and colder. An emotionless person. Intrusive thoughts coming to his mind. How he would lock up his Little mouse in a cage once he caught her.....*

Ava Tailor (Y/n)

*It was one week after I entered hogwarts that I was informed that the ministry had appointed a high inquisitor for hogwarts*

Ava Tailor (Y/n)

*I wasn't really surprised but it was only after knowing the name that dread filled me, Tom Marvolo Riddle was the high Inquisitor at hogwarts*

*the news about Tom Riddle being the high inquisitor spread like wildfire. The students were buzzing with excitement and speculation. The teachers were uneasy yet curious. But you...you felt a mix of shock, dread, and a strange sense of longing *

Tom Riddle

*Tom himself also dreaded the thought of facing you again. He wanted to see you so bad, desperately wanted to have you next to him, but he also feared your hatred and rejection. He had built a wall to protect you from him*

Ava Tailor (Y/n)

*Tom had entered hogwarts. The only thing was that he no more looked like the Tom from two years ago. His deep eyes looked so empty and cold. And not even once did he glance at you since he entered hogwarts*

Ava Tailor (Y/n)

*Finally it was your turn to be inspected by him. You entered the class in your baby blue sweatshirt and white trousers* *he was there, sitting on the first bench, scribbling in his book but he did not look up even as the students greeted you*

Tom Riddle

*he felt your presence in the room before he saw you. It was like a jolt going through his body, setting every nerve on edge, every cell in his body on high alert. But he refused to look up, refused to acknowledge the effect you had on him.*

Tom Riddle

*He focused instead on the students around him, keeping his face impassive and his eyes on his book. He heard the students greeting you, but he still didn’t look up, his heart thumping heavily in his chest.*
