Marcelline knew it was only a matter of time before Tom Riddle came back from winter break. She didn't know why she was so eager to hear what he had discovered.

It was raining when her and Abraxas were in the library studying. He had asked for help in Astronomy and she happily obliged. That was one of her favorite studies. She had taken his advice and started letting loosening up a bit. It felt weird. She started talking more with the other Slytherins and Abraxas couldn't help but feel proud.

"What are you doing?" She said when Abraxas put his hand on her knee. He didn't say anything but kept reading the book he was studying. She didn't move it. She didn't do anything but freeze. No boy had ever touched her like this. She didn't know what to do but tense up. That's all she could do.

"You're very beautiful Marcelline" he finally said looking in her eyes. She didn't say anything but looked away and started reading her book in hopes he would stop.

He put a finger under her chin and pulled her closer to him so she could be staring right in his eyes. "I know you've been hurt. I see it in the way you act. I would never hurt you Marcelline." He said and she stayed quiet. Why was he doing this?

"You amaze me. Your mind is nothing like any others and I wanna dive in it. Your soul is golden. I would make you feel like the only girl in the world, Princess. You are so special to me. You're the only girl that never gave into my ways and I love that." He said.

He pulled her closer by her chin. "God you are so beautiful" he said stroking her pale cheek. He pulled her even closer and she tensed as much as she could when he leaned in to seal their lips. She didn't know what to do. All she wanted to do was scream. She wanted to scream and cry. She felt weak. She felt vulnerable. She felt pathetic.

"Abraxas I have to go" she said breaking them apart gathering her things and leaving him alone sitting at the library. She ran as fast as she could and ran straight in the girls bathroom. She could feel the tears threatening to spill out. She let him kiss her. She let that happen. She let all those other times happen too. She could have done something but she didn't. She was scared. She was weak.

She tried not to blink in hopes that the tears would not fall. She started scrubbing her lips as fast as she could, in hopes maybe she would scrub away the memory of what just happened. Maybe she just imagined it.

In reality, it had happened. She let it happen and she felt like a knife went through her stomach. Her first kiss, with a guy she has no attraction too. Her first consensual kiss and she didn't even like the boy a little bit. She couldn't help but let the tears fall as she slid down the wall and onto the bathroom floor, not caring how dirty she would get.

Right now, all she could do is cry.

Marcelline sat at the Ravenclaw without a book but just pushing her food around. She felt like if she were to consume anything she would just throw it all up. She glanced up at the Slytherin table to see Abraxas looking awfully quiet like her.

"You look awfully quiet" someone said but by the smell of parchment paper and deep musk she could just sense who it was. She looked up to be met with Tom Riddle and his usual smirk.

"A lot has happened." She said shrugging.

"Well I hope you choose to tell me of such events as I have a lot to tell you." He said and she could see the eagerness in his eyes. She knew he had found something.

"I have something to show you" she said with a mischievous smile. He nodded slowly and she took his hand and they left the dining hall in a hurry. Abraxas watched them walk out hand in hand and he could feel his heart swell in pain.
