Vella walked up the steps to the Astronomy tower. To see Tom waiting there in silence. Not a word being uttered

"Why do you ought to see me?" She looked at the back of Tom

He turned around. And looked at her deeply.

"Avella. I know I am the last person you'd ought to see but please I need that book, I beg you" he looked at her with pleading eyes

Why should she give him that book.

"Why do you so desperately desire the book?" She interrogated

"I just...need it, Lestrange" he looked at her sighing

She knew he was up to something, so she said

"Beg. For me."

He knelt down infront of her as she smirked.

"I..I beg you" he sighed

She liked feeling superior towards Tom. Go make him kneel before her. Was something he'd never do.

"Why should I hand it to you? I know you are planning something, please inform me, if you dare" she smirked

He looked confused. And got up

"I'm not having any plans, and why should I answer to you? Your just a pathetic Lestrange girl" he hastily replied

It didn't faze her, the spiteful words coming out of his venomous mouth.

"I think I didn't made it clear, if you want the book, say what your planning, you do not deceive me like everyone else. I see right through you, Tom Riddle" she came closer as they were staring eye to eye

He gulped. She realised she made him a bit on edge.

"I-I'm doing nothing. Nothing of your concern, Lestrange" he looked at the girl before him

"Yes you are." She sternly replied

"You have no evidence that I am doing so" he looked at her

"Oh yes I do, loads. Your body language says it all, Riddle. Your sweaty" she pointed out

He never thought anybody would catch on as fast as she did. He thought he was being so deserter nobody could ever find out his doings.

He came closer putting his fingers to the bride of his nose looking down at his matte black shoes.

"Look. Lestrange, nobody can know. Nobody" he looked at her putting his big hands on her shoulders

She seemed uncomfortable. She looked around. She had never been in such a close proximity to Tom than she had been to anyone.

"Look at me. That book you have is not just any book. That book will lead me to success, to power. To immortality" he exclaimed heroically

She looked in his deep sunken eyes. No word of a lie being told.

"How would you know about the book? And immortality? Nobody is immortal." She replied

Their faces barely touching

"You have no idea the power I can possess with this book. I found it in the restricted section, I've been looking for it for years. I knew there would be a book on how to be the most powerful sorcerer in the world." He says

"Nobody can be, Dumbledore is." She smiled

He looked enraged

"Dumbledore won't know what had hit him until it is too late. Nobody can know about me or this book, and you dare mustn't tell a single being or I'd have to kill them." He took steps back releasing her from his grip

"I cannot trust you, the way your talking to me it's like you want to carry out a massacre." She looked wearily at him and his cold expression

"That book can teach me things than nobody knows. Avella, I plead you so kindly to give me the book." He stepped closer once more as she stepped back.

"No. I will not, I shan't be wasting my time quarrelling over some silly book" she turned around but he spun her back.

"Don't you dare turn your back on me." He looked at her horror stricken face

"Let go of me you creep your speaking nonsense! Wait until I tell the whole school what you've been doing. Don't lie I have power over you and you don't even know it." She retaliated

He stepped back now, the horror in his eyes.

"Please Lestrange, please. You and I both know none of this is nonsense. You've must of read it. You'll never understand the pleasure of the darkness thy consumed you." He looked at her

"I'm going to Dumbledo—" she turned around mid sentence but his hand clasped her wrist

"No! No. You cannot." He rejected

"And why is that?" She didn't turn around to face him, his hand still on her wrist

"Because I'll kill you." He said

She turned around looking y him

"You wouldn't. I know you wouldn't." She seethed

She admitted to herself she was frightened of Tom Riddle. And he admitted to himself Avella was a threat to his plans.

He just laughed lowly.

" I would. Don't underestimate my power and authority. Unless we form an alliance"

"I will not be consumed by darkness out of fear. I stick by my word" she strongly reminded him

"I'll burn the book." She concluded getting her wand out

Tom Ran forward pushing her to the wall the book flying out of her hand and down into the abyss.

They both looked at eachother and reached the rails of the balcony looking down at the book lie there on the ground.

She took one look at Tom before running down the stairs after the book. He followed close behind firing spells at her to make her fall over. She reached the book first as he was engraged once more.

"Avada ke—" he got his wand out

"Silencio" she castes before so he couldn't utter the spell.

She walked past and while she was

"Listen Tom. Your little plan will fall like a pack of cards."

Now he was threatened, the only one to threaten Tom Riddle in the most fashionable way. Avella Lestrange.
