Avella was not prone to love in that type of way. Nott knew about the marriage. He never cared.

It was near the spring term. She was minding her own business in Astronomy when Tom took his place next to her, which shocked everyone. Even Dorea and a fuming Lucretia. Parkinson was still on Malfoy. Surprisingly.

"What on earth are you doing, Tom?" She whispered to him

"Feeling you might need company, seeing you sitting alone makes me sad." He replied lowly

Why was he being considerate? Was it all a show?

"Tom stop it. I'm not going to tell you about the chamber, nor I'm not falling inlove with you. You are too evil to even think to be associated with" she tried to turn away

"I wouldn't go that far. Besides, we make a good team" he nudged her

"No. We really don't" she sighed back

"Look, about the other night. I'm over it. I am going to be Mrs Nott, soon. I can't mess this up, my family will disown me if I reject. I am all Octivian's now." She turned and looked him in the eyes

"You are unhappy, Lessie" he replied

"And you think you can make me happier?" She looked at him with a bored look on her face

"I believe I can. I'll bring you happiness anybody can ask for" he fiddled with his fingers

She didn't know if she could trust him.

They were learning about star constellations. She felt Tom's rigid presence next to her. Muttering things under his breath about how much the subject was stupid. Until they had to study them, they shared a book. It was about the zodiacs.

"I believe I am a Capricorn." He huffed

"I believe I am a Scorpio." Avella admitted

Until the Professor came over

"Oh my my! Capricorn and Scorpio, highly compatible, loads in common. You two make a good match" she smiled and walked away

"Is she out of her mind?! We are not compatible." Avella shifted in her seat

"Easy easy, Avella. It's true on the stars we are meant to be" he lied

He didn't care about stars. He only cared about the chsmber and the prophecy. Not that she knew.

"This is wrong, everything about us is wrong. Haunt me if you will I'll never succumb to your love." She spat

"Lessie. Why do you never let anyone in? Let me in, I am the only one to make you feel what you must." He came closer

"You think I'll make this easy for you? No. I know you thought getting to me was easy. Didn't you?" She read him like a book

He admitted he was naïve thinking he could win her heart. Her heart is the only way to know where the chamber is.  If he gets her to love him and visa versa. He will unlock everything.

"I am not one to be tampered with. But all I ask is for your hand, your love and melt my poor heart"
He tried to be sad, he got his hand and out it to his heart

Her eyes went wide. They had never really had contact since the kiss.

"You fell this heart. It is not full without you" he cringed

He hated saying these weird things to a girl. But anything for Slytherin.

She snatched her hand away

"Leave me alone." She internally blocked him out

"You cannot lock me out forever. I will not go away until you do so. I..love you." He turned with desperation to her
