Twenty seven - father's secrets

Tom's pov

I woke up due to a loud noise coming from downstairs.

It's 4 am, this is quite odd.

I look beside me, y/n is here

Another noise, even louder

'Y/n y/n wake up, there's someone downstairs' I say shaking her shoulder

'They're probably your parents' she groans

'They are in another town right now dumbass' I whisper

'Oh shit' she says opening her eyes and sitting up

another noise coming from our same floor.

'It's getting louder and closer' I say standing up

'Go hide in the closet fast' i whisper

'Okay but do the bed' she says

'What?'

'Just do it fastt, i'll be useful'

I agree and just fix the beddings

Footsteps are echoing outside the room

I quickly get inside the closet too and close it carefully

Y/n looks anxious , I hug her and draw her nearer.

From a tiny fissure I can see the door opening

Y/n sees it too and her breathing starts to get faster, so I caress her back to calm her down

A man enters my room, followed by another.

I can hear them speak clearly
their voices mature and deep, they are probably around the age of forty

'No one's here, the bed is still made. But there is stuff here' says one of the men

'The other rooms are empty too' replies the other

They gave a last look and left

The anger boiling in my veins, who the fuck are these men and what are they doing in my house?

We stayed in the closet for a few minutes until I heard an house elf calling for us

'Mr Riddle, Miss y/l! You are safe now they left'

Y/n and I shared a look before opening the closet

'Neezy, are you and the others fine?' I ask the tiny elf

'Yes Mr Riddle. We contacted your father he'll contact you soon.'

'Thank you' says y/n at the house elf before it disappears

'Who were them?' She asks me as she lays again in bed

'I don't know, we'll wait for father's letter'

Shortly after the letter arrived.

Our dear son,
We heard about what happened earlier. I don't really know how to explain it to you, but I quite have the reputation in the Wizarding World which means I also have a lot of enemies. It's not safe for you and y/n to stay there. I talked with the y/l's and we agreed that you both have to move to their Manor till the end of summer break.
Before the start of the next school year we will visit you.
and I will explain you everything.

Please stay safe.

Love, your parents.
