Vingt-cinq

Nights had passed, nothing had happened since that night. She was walking through the dorm hallways and didn't know she passed through the girls into the boys chambers unknowingly.

She didn't realise until a wooden door open and Tom stood in front of the door.

"Avella." He said in an anxious tone

"Tom." She coldly looked at him

"I need to show you something." He pulled her inside

The boys dorms were like the girls, but with a serpent carpet in the middle. It was silver, the girls was gold.

"Why do you want me?" Vella asked as she turned around to exit

"Stop." He put his hand on her shoulder

"What do you want Riddle?" She turned back

"Lestrange, Avella. I have found something that will blow your mind." He told her to sit on his bed

He showed her a book.

"Charming Tom, but I'm not reading a bedtime story to you if that's what you're implying" she looked at the cover

"Don't be daft like Lucretia. Look at the cover." He pointed to the title

"The tale of the three brothers...what does this have to do with anything, Tom?" She read and looked up to him perching beside her

"You wouldn't understand. I found something off, what if...the invisibility cloak, the resurrection stone and the elder wand..was real?" His eyes gleamed

"I see where you're going with this, and no. I don't think that is real. It's a kids book" she scoffed

"You're wrong. Look at my ring." He showed his family heirloom. The Gaunt Ring.

"A ring? You've made a horcrux. What else is there?" She asked

"Let me show you." He smirked

He started to speak Parseltongue to the object and the apex of it opened up, revealing the floating resurrection stone.

Avella couldn't believe what she was seeing

"Is that.."

"Yes, dear Avella. The Deathly Hallows are real, this proves it. I need to find them, especially the Elder Wand. It is my only ticket to infinite power" his lips curled into a savage smile

"I don't know what to say. But have you tried any wandmaker? Gregorovitch perhaps?" She asked

"No, but I know he doesn't have it. But apparently it was stolen from him." Tom Riddle came closer to the girl

"Who stole it?" She asked curiously

"Gellert Grindelwald. In order to get that want, I need to kill, Gellert Grindelwald, but not yet. He is too powerful for me." Tom looked at the stone and put it away in his ring

"But you've made two horcruxes, you're immortal. Grindelwald won't stand a chance because he hasn't made any" Avella smiled

"You're right. But apparently Dumbledore might beat me to it, can't stand that oaf." He looked out the window

"If Dumbledore kills him..that means..." Avella trailed off in thought

"I'd have to kill the great Albus Dumbledore." He laughs bitterly

A flash of horror flicked across Avella's face.

"You're not actually thinking of doing it are you? We've hardly graduated yet." She stood up, he looked up to her.

"I am not Tom Riddle now, I am Lord Voldemort. I've been getting reoccurring dreams of people chanting, Lord Voldemort. I can't help but think I will be him and that name will be mine." He stood up to meet her gaze

"That's insane. Lord Voldemort is in your mind, he is not real. He's just a dream in your psychotic mind!" She interrupted

"That mean if I become him, I will be living my dream." He smirked

"You're not in some fantasy.  Snap out of it, you're just like everyone else, average. Accept it rather than to terrorise people" Avella got up and walked out

She opened the door and all of his followers were listening in.

"Have you been eavesdropping?" Avella looked fuming

"No. We thought Tom was—" Rosier tried to explain

Tom just interrupted with a cough. I think all their minds turned dirty at that one point

"Anyways. I best be leaving" she raised an eyebrow and walked away from the group

"Anyways, what's some horcruxes going to do? You don't even know if they work" she taunted and left

Tom thought. Did Lestrange underestimate him? He let his peers inside.

"What's on your brilliant mind, Master" Malfoy asked

"Things beyond your capability, Abraxas. Avella knows everything, she knows too much, I need that diadem. Before she does. Or my plans will go to shambles." Tom paced the spacious room

"You can't go out searching now. By the way, Grindelwald is out there." Rosier explained

"He has what I need, I am not scared of him like you cowards are. He is an idol." He played with his fingers

Meanwhile, Avella was in her room, alone. She had not clue what the future would bring, if Tom's plans worked, the end of the Wizarding World, would be near.

She tolerated Tom. She loved Tom, be he is obsessed with the idea of her and power.

She couldn't believe the Deathly Hallows was real, she snuck out the common room and stole a book and ran back to her bed.

She flipped to an open page. Her eyes widened as she read about what each of them did, maybe fairytales in children's books were real. If Tom lays his hands on this, hell would break loose.

But Dumbledore is here, shouldn't he keep Tom in line? He knows because Avella told him. Tom wouldn't be able to face Grindelwald on his own. He'd be dead before he even had the chance. But Avella knew he was going to be the next dark wizard, he was going to be the next Grindelwald.
