"Oh yes, you're so great" - Tomione
Tom smirked to himself, looking at the brunette girl Infront of him, knowing that he had won this battle between them.
It had been like this for a year, these little battles between them, usually with words, sometimes with spells. today had been with magic, and he had bested her in the duel.
Dark blue eyes watched the girl in front of him as she panted, catching her breath from the Strianos activity. They had dueled for nearly an hour, neither one of them willing to submit to the other. In the end it was a small miscalculation on her part that had caused her to fail.
"You never stood a chance against me Hermione" Tom cooed, taking a step towards the girl, holding out her wand, handle first to her, watching in amusement as she took it with a huff.
"Oh yes, you're so great" she snapped at him "That I could never ever defeat you" she continued tucking her wand into the sleeve of her robe.
Tom couldn't help the smirk on his face at her words, "You are welcome to try again" he supplied, taking a step back from her, wand ready in case she took him up on his offer.
Instead, she glared at him, her magic swirling around her in electrifying currents.
It was fascinating, it was seductive.
Not that he would ever admit that.
"I hate you" she growled the words at him "I'll win next time Riddle" she spat his last name at him, as if it was poison in her mouth. With those final words she turned away from him, retreating from the dark forest and to the castle that they both currently called home.
Tom didn't know why the girl he was fascinated by hated him so, he had never done anything to her to illicit such anger from her yet hate him she did.
He was determined to find out why, after all, it wouldn't do for a potential follower to loath him so fully.
And she would become one of his most loyal and powerful followers. That he was certain of.
