Tom Riddle X Reader- Suspicions

Students brushed past you ascending the large staircase in a flurry of robes.  You stood to the side back pressed against a stone wall.  A painting of a witch with straggly rust coloured hair glared at you over her bubbling cauldron.  You tried to ignore her icy blue gaze, keeping your own eyes forward and your mind focused.  Hogwarts was in the midst of tragedy. Three different muggleborn students had already been found dead,  and their murderer was still at large. The most terrifying thing about the murders was the message left with the victims.  ‘The Chamber of Secrets has been opened. ‘ You had your own theories about the killings and one of them had lead you to this staircase.  

The consistent stream of students had thinned when he finally made his appearance. All tousled dark hair and moody eyes he had the jawline of a movie star. His nose was short and straight,  perfectly complimented by lips just full enough to be tantalizing. You felt your heart flutter like a humming bird in your chest and had to remind yourself why you were there.  
Stepping away from the wall you waved a hand.  “Tom,  mind if I speak to you for a moment?”
He stopped just before you raising an eyebrow in a silent question.
“I saw you the other night, exiting the girls bathroom on the third floor,” You licked your lips.  “Soon after that second year was killed”
He quirked his head to the side.  “You think i’m the murderer?”
Strangely instead of being shocked or even angry he sounded amused.  
“You really didn’t think this through did you _____? If I was responsible for what you accuse me of that would make me a very dangerous person.”
He leant in close enough for you to smell his spicy scented aftershave.  
“And very dangerous people are unpredictable,” He continued in a low voice.  “If I was you, I’d be a little more careful about who I blamed.”

You found yourself marvelling at his eyes.  Molten pools of rich chocolate brown with unusual burgundy   highlights framed by lashes that most women would envy. He was so beautiful and yet if your suspicions were correct, also terrible.
You inhaled a breath of the air now tainted by Tom’s scent. “If I was you, I’d be a little more careful about who you threatened Tom. “
He flashed straight white teeth in a condescending smile, long fingers expertly tucking a lose strand of hair behind your ear.  “we’ll see who comes out on top; the eagle or the snake. “
And then without awaiting your reply he left.  Ascending the remaining flight of stairs with long strides.  You paused for a moment,  catching your breath.  The witch painting giving you a disapproving look. Now more than ever you were certain that Tom Marvolo Riddle had something to do with the murders. The unsettling thing was he didn’t seem to care that you knew.
