Professor Riddle's favorite

It turned out that he was bored more quickly than expected and in the last three weeks he has not once attempted contact and I have to admit that it affects me more than I thought. I miss the excitement even though it only lasted a few days, the worst part is that I can't talk about it with my best friends and I hesitated a few times to just confess to them what happened. So I can complain about it and they can tell me how ridiculous it is that I agreed to it and now even crave it. "You really should have seen what just happened" Harry comes running in laughing with Ron at his side. “Then tell me you idiot.” Ginny covers up her mean comment with a sweet smile that Harry falls for as usual. "Professor Riddle turned Draco into a ferret." I sit up on the couch and watch Harry and Ron imitate what just happened in the courtyard. "It was really amazing. He's in the infirmary now, pretending to be sick from the spell." Hermoine looks in my direction. "Aren't you supposed to be on patrol with him tonight?" I nod and lean back on the couch. "Anything is better than Draco even Pansy so I can't say I'm terribly disappointed." Maybe he's secretly smacking Draco's ass now since he's completely ignoring me with his perfect clothes and selfish attitude.I don't see myself with someone like Harry or Ron, there is nothing wrong with both of them but I want more. Someone who is confident like the one who is ignoring me now. "Walk with me to the great hall, I'm starving." Ginny holds out her arm and pulls me up from the couch. Ron and Harry keep repeating the same story and luckily Hermoine is just as fed up with their cheering as I am and one look from her is enough to silence them both. People often see her as a nerd but she is more than that, an angry Hermoine is the last thing you want, especially when that anger is directed at you. "See you later" I shake my head no with a disappointed face. "I have to change clothes after dinner and go on patrol, I'll see you tomorrow." I have deliberately not looked towards the teachers' table for the last week, angry at the professor who hit me on the butt with a belt three weeks ago, I try not to think about it a lot because then it dawns on me how ridiculous it all is. Pansy sits down across from me and I do my best not to roll my eyes as she visits me again now that Draco can't keep her company. She looks pathetically in my direction and I decide to put her out of her misery. "How is Draco?" She's sobbing and I almost gag at her obsessive behavior about the boy not being worthy of her and them clearly not being right for each other. "Bad he feels very sick." I sigh deeply and irritatedly try to stab a pea that keeps rolling away with my fork. “How sad for him.” She nods and wipes away a tear with her sleeve, which clearly contains not only tears but also the contents of her nose. “I feel so bad for you.” I look up and nod knowing that I don't mind not being stuck with Draco tonight."Now you have to go on patrol with the devil who did this to DrayDray." I look up and drop my fork on my plate. "Excuse me?" She suddenly seems a lot less sad now that she sees that I am clearly not happy with the news she delivered. “He sacrificed himself because DrayDray can't do it now and he's to blame.” If she says DrayDray again I'll stick my fork in her eye. I don't want to let myself be known and give her the pleasure she is clearly experiencing at this moment. "Well then DrayDray can rest and I can get some rest from his complaining." She angrily gets up from the table "Bitch" She walks to the rest of her group of friends leaving me alone at the end of the table. I lift my fork back up from the plate and start my fight again when my curiosity wins and I look towards the teacher's table to see the person I'm looking at staring back at me with a grin. I aggressively poke the plate, after which I throw down my fork and storm out of the main hall. I wanted his attention but not like this and especially not now that everyone knows I'm alone with him tonight. When the news reaches Ginny and Hermoine I get a hundred questions again and the worst part is when he ignores me all evening like he has been doing the last few weeks. I storm into the common room and walk straight to my room where I throw myself on my bed and scream into my pillow. "A bit exaggerated, don't you think?" I lift my head to see Riddle standing by my bed with his hands in his pockets. "I don't feel like doing this right now." He scoffs "That's a lie." I take the pillow out from under my head and place it on my head. "You can't commit suicide like that." I turn my head under the pillow and look up "Do you really think I'm trying to commit suicide?" He shrugs, "You were screaming into a pillow ridiculously loud, not me."I look at him to see. if he is serious right now. “You ignored me for three weeks?” He nods "That's right, I wanted to see if you could be trusted and I haven't heard any gossip so I think I have my answer, please don't be so dramatic, I'll wait for you in the hallway." He walks away and closes the door behind him, I put the pillow back on my head and stare at the bed past me, which is empty again tonight because Pansy thinks she has to watch over Draco all night.

My whole body hurts from the position I fell asleep in. I turn around and see that it is absolutely dark outside. "Fuck" I jump up from my bed looking for my uniform. “There is no need to hurry Selwyn.” Riddle sits on the chair at my desk with a book on his lap while he looks me up and down as I stand next to my bed, still half asleep. "What time is it ?" He turns the page of his book and I see that he has even lit a candle so he can read. "Too late anyway." I sit on the bed and rub my face. "Normally people say thank you when someone walks their patrol for them." I look at him as he turns another page. "Thank you sir." He nods, "Go to sleep, we will discuss tomorrow how you can make up for this."I take off my jeans and lie back under the blanket. "Why did you turn Draco into a ferret." He sighs deeply as if irritated by my question before answering "Some things you can't say and he had to find that out the hard way." I laugh at the image of Draco as a frerret and quickly swallow my laughter. "You can laugh." I laugh again "Did he cry when you changed him back?" Knowing Draco, it was quite a show. "Oh absolutely, he's going to send his daddy after me, he said." I laugh even harder "He was an ugly ferret too." That was the last straw and I feel tears welling up in my eyes from laughter."Why a ferret?" He shrugs "That was the first thing that occurred to me, not to injure him in front of other people." I sit up on the bed. "Like you'd hurt him." He laughs for the first time "I'm not a good person." He looks up from his book and sees my confused look. "Now go to sleep."I clear my throat. "Come lay with me." He looks up from his book again. "absolutely not, that will never happen Selwyn" I nod somewhat defeated and lie down on the pillow."Are you always so straightforward." He sighs in obvious annoyance now. "This is nothing, if I knew you were so emotional I would have changed my mind before getting involved with you." I smile and lie down comfortably."This is nothing, if I knew you were so cold I would never have let you spank my ass." He closes the book and stands before me in an instant. "We both know you would have let me do a lot more if I wanted to." I turn my head to look at him and immediately realize that the short conversation made me feel way too confident. "Maybe" He grins "Maybe? Do you want to test that theory?"My heart starts pounding again and I don't know what to answer. "That's what I thought." I come up and look at him "I haven't answered yet." He lifts me up with a hand around my throat until I'm on my feet and just before I panic from his grip he lets me go. He stares at me and I know I can't hide my nerves any longer and I don't want to. I feel again the same way I felt in the classroom three weeks ago and I would make the same mistake again and again when it comes to the man in front of me. His grin gives me goosebumps all over my body, he grabs my face with his hand and then presses his lips hard onto mine. It's like fireworks exploding in my body and his lips are anything but cold like the rest of his body. He moves his hand and grabs a hand full of hair and then pushes me down until I'm on my knees.I look up waiting to see what he expects from me. "See I was right." He turns around and sits on the chair before opening the book again. "Go to sleep" I get up from my knees and crawl into bed in shame.
