Tom Riddle X Reader - Chapter 99: Chapter 99

"You're here for him?" - Voldemort coldly asked
"You're here because of a prophecy, right?" - you ignored his question, panting "You didn't hear all of it" you glanced over at almost strangled Sirius "Let him go and I will tell you the rest"
Voldemort's hand trembled a little but he lowered his wand. His eyes peered into Sirius' as he bluntly demanded "Do not move."
Voldemort whispered something in parseltongue and Nagini slithered off his neck, only leaving a hot, red mark as Sirius was left alive, but gasping for air.
"Let's go outside, Tom" - You stretched your hand out to Riddle but he refused to take it, nodding with his head instead.
When you left to the icy street outside, he stopped and tapped his foot "Well?"
"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches... Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies... and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives"
Riddle stood blankly, his body suddenly still
"Don't you see?" - you added "If you go to kill the Potters, you will die yourself."
"So it seems." - he replied, still thinking "But if there is power I know not---"
"Then nothing. Dumbledore knows power you don't -- and don't look at me that way, you know he does."
"I appreciate you telling me the full prophecy but---"
"But what? You will still try to kill him?"
Riddle remained silent
"Stay with me." - you added "Please." - you slowly reached your hand out to his cheek "I love you."
Riddle still remained silent.
Until the air grew cold. The grass around you died from the sudden clots of thick ice.
As you both looked up you quickly noticed a horde of dementors dart down at the two of you
"Get behind me" - Riddle said as he stretched out his wand "Expecto Patronum!" - the tip of his wand began to lit up, evolving into a conjured mist
"Expecto Patronum!" - you shouted standing behind him, watching your own weapon glow
The pair of your spells leaped out of your wands and quickly evolved into a duo of flying buzzards that flew around the air before colliding against one another and transfiguring into a larger patronus - merging into one, massive, strongest patronus that dashed towards the dementors, scaring them all away.
When the Patronus had dissolved, both of your eyes lowered to the ground where you spotted Bellatrix, Igor and Antonin stand in front of you.
Riddle sneered, he did not know about this attack.
To Tom's surprise, two spells were shot out from Antonin's and Igor's wands. As Tom deflected these charms, Bellatrix quickly flew over behind you and grabbed your hair, pointing the wand against your throat and then the spells died down.
Riddle scowled at Lestrange "You do not want to disobey me."
"You seem to love this girl more than you love those loyal to you" - she tightened the grip on your hair "If that's true, she has to die" - Lestrange chuckled as if crazy "So everything can go back to normal"
"Is that what you all choose?" - Riddle raised his eyebrow "If you defy me - there will be consequences"
"There will be consequences for her too" - Bellatrix replied, unable to spot Sirius Black who left the house and apparited away.
"Only for you three." - Marvolo calmly said "And the rest who will oppose us"
"Well then" - Bellatrix said, on a verge of going fully insane "Let's not waste time" - she turned you and yelled out "AVADA KEDAV---"
"EXPELLIARMUS!" - a red beam shot at her hand and her wand dropped down to the floor.
As you got out of her grasp, you ran over into Tom's embrace before looking towards the source of the caster -
Albus Dumbledore, Severus Snape and Professor McGonagall had been standing beside Sirius Black. All of whom, as fast as possible, traveled over here, being alarmed by Padfoot.
But then more death eaters arrived into the picture. Some of them did not know who to oppose as Bellatrix and Tom Riddle were now on two different sides.
"Kill them!" - Lestrange said, pointing at Tom Riddle
But nobody had dared.
As she was about to escape, Albus Dumbledore had cast out a binding spell at her. She turned stiff and fell.
The rest of the death eaters began their attack, but McGonagall, now beside Severus Snape, were easily fighting off a pinch of those hooded, dark wizards.
"Avada Kedavra!" - Tom's spell blasted against Antonin, who attempted to ambush you, and instantly dropped dead
You shielded Tom from some spells coming his way, and he shielded you as you fought back to back. Not every wizard would turn on him like that, however, as some had flown away, still very much terrified of Lord Voldemort.
Soon enough, Lily and James Potter appeared alongside Remus Lupin and Molly Weasley.
Riddle's eyes twinkled towards the Potters. You saw his wand suddenly tremble in his grasp as he lifted his arm, glaring at the fighting marauders.
"No" - you grabbed his arm, lowering it down as you looked into his eyes, presenting the biggest plead of your life "Don't"
Riddle's arm fell back down. He felt at a crossroad where he had to choose between love and power.
Meanwhile, suddenly free of spell, Bellatrix Lestrange limped backwards and quickly teleported out of the battle before Dumbledore could fight her again.
But then Albus's eyes darted at Riddle.
Riddle quickly realized that he was about to get captured, he grabbed your arm and apparited out of the scene too, just in time.
Next thing you knew, you both were standing on a cliff, overgrown with grass.
As Riddle let go of your hand he uttered "First thing I thought of was here."
You recalled this place. Both of you were here a long time ago.
"It's peaceful here." - you said, admiring the gentle breeze of the wind. When you looked back, you saw Marvolo inspecting his golden ring.
He glared up and your eyes locked "I know I've been distant" - he said, tilting his head "It's that. I was supposed to save you. Not the other way around. And I was weaker than him. That old fool."
You felt your heart suddenly flutter. You walked over to him and held his hands in a doting comfort "But you're not weak"
"I should have been stronger. I could have been."
"You were strong enough" - you replied, gently brushing your fingers against his soft skin "Are you going to live this life with me, Tom?"
"Do I have a choice? if so.." - he removed the Marvolo ring from his hand and put it on your finger as he softly cupped your hand "You will be mine."
Smiling, you leaned in to kiss him. His arms softly slithered around your waist as he pulled you in tighter and tighter, feeling so good when his lips connected to yours.
"He's dead." - you were seated in Albus's office, encircled by Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Molly & Arthur Weasleys as well as the Potters "Voldemort is dead."
Albus's tone lifted as he folded his hands "Are you absolutely sure?"
"Yes." - you glared into his eyes, handing him over Tom Riddle's wand "He's gone."
There were some gasps echoing in the room until Albus finally replied "Good. Well done. It's the best for all of us"
You nodded your head out of respect.
Shortly, you were invited by the Potters to attend Harry's birthday, he was turning 2 years old.
You watched Harry grow up under the endless love of Lily and James, who'd be astounding parents.
During his birthday, Harry smiled over at you as he stretched his little hands your way. You took him in your hands and spun him around as the Weasleys had brought in their own children.
Mary was also there, taking on a difficult task and looking after Fred and George who had jinxed the Potter cat to take potty on the floor in every room.
You and Sirius, meanwhile, continued to be the best Godparents ever.
As if watching everyone laugh in slow motion - you found a moment of peace - as this child would grow no longer to become an orphan, and Voldemort ceased to exist.
You've returned home. Your keys jingled as you threw them on the counter, you had to get used to this muggle stuff.
As you skimmed through the newly arrived letters, you heard banging from upstairs, which quickly lowered down to your floor.
You glanced back to see Tom Riddle rush downstairs, glaring at a stack of toiletries
"How do the muggles?" - he stuttered, giving you a quick kiss before brushing back his dark hair "How do they do such things?"
"It's just toiletries..."
Riddle sighed, still unable to figure out how to pop open the lid of the shampoo bottle.
As you did it for him, his eyes suddenly widened as if you've shown him magic
"That's impressive" - he said
You chuckled "Alright"
You leaned in to give him another kiss. A passionate, loving snog that he would adore receiving from you. As you rushed over to the kitchen you quickly teased him "Don't take too long, my love, dinner will be soon"
"I won't. It's hard to do these ridiculous things without magic" - he replied, rushing back up.
As he locked the bathroom door, though, he yanked out a wand.
A new wand.
Since people were supposed to think he was dead, you were prominent about hiding his magic.
But little did you know.
Late at night, Riddle sneaked out to the nearest forest. He overheard a voice whistle not too far away from him and as he neared it, he saw a fisherman.
Riddle's eyes glinted with red as he aimed it at him "Avada Kedavra" - the green flash bolted into the muggle man who collapsed to the floor, the fishing rod slipping out of his cold grasp
Tom then took something out of his pocket. A golden bracelet that he owned. The one that matched with yours a long time ago.
But as Riddle prepares an incantation,
