" Harry, whether you believe it or not, at one time there was a chance where I thought Tom Riddle would of given up the Dark Arts" the messy, raven haired boy stared at his headmaster, the professor had a dazed look in his eyes like he was rememberi...

For the rest of class Evangeline tried her best not to cry. She didn't usually cry nor did she like but it seemed when it came to Tom Riddle he could say anything and she would cry. Evangeline wasn't over weight by any means, but Tom liked to make her think she was. From the minute he started teasing her it was always about her weight.
" You eat too much"
" You're not going to fit through the door"
" Are you eating for two or what?"
Tom was stupid he knew she was 'fat', at all. But for some reason he always said something about. He would watch her not eat for weeks because of one thing he said. Yes, he didn't like that she wasn't eating. But it gave him a sense of power that she listened to him, that he was constantly in her head. So he continued doing it, making that he was only one in her head, always.
So now, Tom watched Evangeline ,from the side of his eye, try to keep herself together for the rest of class. He would hear her sniffle every once and awhile but he never saw the tears fall." Evie" he dragged out quietly, leaning towards her ear as Slughorn droned on about what potions could kill you. " This is no place to cry. Try to refrain yourself, yes?" He watched as more tears gather in her eyes, but she did not let one fall.
" I'm not crying" she muttered, " I have something in my eye, you prat" sharply looking at him through the corner of her eyes. " And for your information, I think it's you who needs to cut back on the sandwiches." But both knew Tom rarely ate. A new habit he had picked up at the orphanage.
" Mhm, is that disrespect I hear in your tone?" He quibbled, " No, it couldn't be. I thought we cleared that up." Tom was about to say another thing, no doubt another threat towards her before Professor Slughorn interrupted the pair.
" You are all free to leave. Remember a essay about two potions could kill you and how." Slughorn trailed off as students started to leave, ignoring the old teacher, " yeah, whatever." he huffed.
Tom stood to his full height, putting a hand out to Evangeline as Slughorn was still in the room. She reluctantly placed her hand gently in his cold ones. He grabbed her hand so hard she thought it was going to break. She whimpered faintly, before he pulled her up and forced her to be pushed right up against her body. " Watch who your talking to, Evangeline. We wouldn't want a repeat of last year." Tom smirked as he saw Evangeline's face pale. She shook her head, and ripped her hand out of Tom's grip. Who probably let her as Tom was stronger than most.
She quickly ran out of potions to find Alatar as they agreed to study together for their free period. Despite it being September, it was freezing out and felt like it could snow at any moment. And Evangeline being the nature hog she is forced Alatar to study at Black Lake.
So now Evangeline sat by herself, in the cold, without a study buddy, and watching the tiny snow flakes start to fall. Evangeline declared that Alatar forgot and was probably sitting inside the Great Hall talking to his friends as Eliphas and Circe ate at the Ravenclaw table. Still, Evangeline didn't move, the Great Hall was too loud for her pounding headache at the moment so she decided to study by herself, as her nose and ears got red.
Unbeknownst to Evan, a certain Slytherin sat at the top of the Astronomy tower, watching the younger Hufflepuff studying. And for a known reason he was angry he knew that other Hufflepuff, was in the Great Hall drinking and eating warm food with his friend, as His Evie sat by herself waiting for him.
" My Lord" A voice interrupted his thoughts, he turned around to be faced with one of his followers, Avery Nott. " Evangeline Potter is by herself down at Black Lake, Diggory is approaching her" Nott bowed his head as he spoke to Riddle. " He had been watching her for quite some time"
Tom whipped around and watched as the lanky Hufflepuff come towards her. He had been so focused on Evan he didn't even see Him coming towards her.
Evangeline smiled up at him and laughed as he probably told her one of his corny jokes. He must had asked to sit with her as she moved off and patted the sit besides her. Now his Evie and Diggory sat shoulder to shoulder as they study.
" Cause a distraction, make them separate. Do anything you need to, but make sure they aren't near each other anymore." He commanded to Nott as he watched the two Hufflepuff interact.
" Yes, My Lord" Tom heard the departing footsteps and hoped that Nott did this yet before Tom went down and tore them apart himself.
