All of the people present in the room looked at Tom with confusion written on their faces.

"What?" asked a bewildered Vela

"Yes, my dear. I will be going back to Hogwarts." Tom confident with his decision

"To visit..?" Vela tried to clarify

"No. As a student." Tom softly chuckled

"No offense father, but you don't exactly look...young." Kairo admitted

Tom rolled his eyes and heaved a heavy sigh.

"I know that. That is where Severus will come in. We need a spell to make me younger." said Tom

"But even if you do look young my Lord, won't Dumbledore know it's you?" asked Lucius

Vela inhaled sharply hearing the man's name.
Tom noticed and sat beside her.

"Darling?" Tom whispered "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Vela smiled, trying to reassure him

"I know you.." Tom warned

Vela slowly looked at him, now noticing how close they both are right now. Vela cleared her throat and straightened her back.

"Later." She assured

Tom wasn't satisfied with the answer he got, but moved on anyway.

"I will get on with it, my Lord." said Severus and left in an instance.

"School is going to be one heck of a year." Draco joked around, not noticing the eyes of the people around him

MALFOY GARDEN

Tom took Vela to the garden, hoping to finally have some quality time after everything that happened the past few days.

They roamed around the huge place, silently admiring the beautiful flowers that Narcissa has carefully planted and watered. Although, Tom was mostly admiring the girl he was with.

They both settled on a nearby bench that was hidden by the tall bushes. They enjoyed the silence and the sun shining down on them.

"Can you tell me the story of how we met?" Vela quietly asked

"I thought you remembered?" Tom frowned

"I do, but I want to hear it from you." Vela shrugged

"Alright." Tom cleared his throat

"You sat there on the stool..the hat placed on your little head. It yelled Slytherin and I could remember your eyes sparkling with delight. You wanted to make your family proud, and you did." Tom began

"Vela Whitlock!"

Little eleven year old Vela nervously sat down on the wooden stool, facing in front of everyone at the Great Hall.

Middle-age Professor Dumbledore placed the sorting hat on her head.

'Mhmm'

Vela widen her eyes in awe and continued listening to the talking hat

'Ambitious..'
