Huit

And by next week, Lucretia was in a tsunami of her own tears. Everyone was shocked that Tom had broken up with her, to Avella it wasn't a surprise. It was what she had planned. And by next week he and her was in the library looking at his family tree.

"Here is your family, that ring you've got on. Is your family heirloom" Avella responded to Tom

"I can't believe my mother is a scummy Mudblood, dying a childbirth! What a weakling!" He thundered

"Tom. I don't think you read your family tree properly. You father was a muggle, your mum had no magical powers but is a descendant" Avella concluded

"It cannot be. I bore my filthy Mudblood fathers name? No. I shan't accept it!" He got the book and threw it at the books in the aisle.

"Tom. Calm down, you can learn more because it appears your uncle Morfin Gaunt is still alive." She concluded

"We must go." He looked at her with raging eyes

"Who is we? I just meant you. I'm not in this." She said

"Now you are. From now on, you answer to me." He smirked

"No way! I won't, you will." She walked past leaving him cofunded. How come she always has a thing to say?

Why was she being civil one minute and the next all hot headed.

He carried the family tree out and found out that Morfin Gaunt had been living in a rugged old shack. But he didn't know when to go.

Once lunch was finished he found Lucretia still sobbing down a hall, dorea and the other girls surrounding her.
He didn't feel bad, he had another prey. Avella Lestrange.

Once she saw him she ran to him trying to hug him.

"Get away from me." He pushed her teary self back

"Who is it you love? Where do you loyalties lie?"
She asked

He did make an excuse his allegiance had changed. But he didn't know who.

"Who is it?" Her voice croaked out

The first person who came to his mind:

"Avella Lestrange" her merely said.

Was it a lie?

Her face fell. Then flourished with anger

"Her? Why her when you can still have me! She is just a Lestrange. I am someone who comes from someone rich!" She said

"You do realise the Lestrange's are more wealthier and known in the wizarding world then you alone, Lucretia?" He shot back

"Please call me Lucie again! Please! I love you Tom I love you" she tried to inch forward

"Your lucky I'm even calling you by your name. I have to go, I have important business."

"Go to the other woman! Your still with me Tom you'll never rid me! Never while I'm still alive!" She shouted at him tears streaming down

Dorea and the other girls watched as the scene unfolded.

"You do not realise but you've always been the other woman, Black. Always will be. Malfoy left you for Parkinson, you are only to be used. You are someone who is too blinded by love to realise it was a lie." He viciously retaliated

"You do not mean that! Tom you don't!" Her voice was hoarse

"I mean everything I say. I am a man of my word." He replied sternly

"What has Lestrange done to you?" She looked at his face

"Nothing, this is how I genuinely feel. And if you loved me, let me go." He looked at his former partner

Lucretia was so inlove that she forgot her own self. But Tom, Tom didn't care. He only cares for himself and power, but his soon to be partner in crime, Avella.

She doesn't know it yet, he'll try to charm his way through like everything he does. He has the looks and the charming deceitful personality.

Avella, no doubt she was a Slytherin but Tom was beginning to question why she was out in that house. Someone just needed to get the snake out in her, and he was destined to do so.

He didn't know what he felt towards Avella, or what she was to him. He was very curious about her ways and why a Slytherin would always be kind. Slytherins are bad, but she defeats it all. By being friends with Gryffindors.

It didn't make sense that's why he was so intrigued by the girl. He didn't know if he should hate her or tolerate her. He was confused.

He felt his eyes always glued onto her, every lesson, everywhere she passed.

One time she was in the library herself reading when Tom snatched the book from her vision and started to read. She got up and tried to snatch it back.

"Tom give it back!" She tried to snatch it as he was taller he could just hold it up.

"Beg for it." He teased

"I beg for nobody. Not even you." She snarled

"Then you do not get this book."

"Now I don't want it anyways." She scoffed

"Why do you even need it?" She asked

"I only needed it so you'd look at me the way you do at books." He gulped

He flushed red, he noticed what he had said. He just blurted it out.

"And how do I look at books?" She played

"Lessie, I know you know we weren't supposed to have hatred towards each other. But—"

"What do you know? Wow, the one time Thomas Marvolo Riddle doesn't know anything of me. There is no but. Only pure hatred." She walked away leaving the boy to his thoughts

He trailed closely behind her.

"I know your there Tom. But if you really don't want to hate me, you have to change yourself." She didn't meet his eye

"I will. But, you'd have to join me first." He says

"How so?" She turned to meet his eye

"I'm still going to fulfil what I've been born to do. You must help." He replied

"And fall into a world of darkness and despair? I would rather you kill me here. I'm being literate." She rolled her eyes

"You are too..good. Be bad for once" he walked closer

"I will not obey to such things." She said

"Open your eyes, Avella! None of this matters anymore. Corruption is on the rise and living is getting worse, there is a war in the Mudblood world and inflation is on the rise. You don't understand, nobody is good anymore." He started to get agitated

"Good always overrules evil. Your to daft to see it" she walked down the hall

He didn't believe it. And at the time nor did she.
