Monster From Hell | Tom Riddle

thirty two

I fell asleep slowly that night. It felt as if I was tossing and turning in bed for hours. Closing my eyes, until a traveling thought came to mind. My back was covered in a layer of thick cold sweat, chills multiplied on my back one by one.

I was woken up to the sound of Pansy telling me, "Merry chrismas, Victoria. Victoria wake up theres presents. Right there!" She pointed to the end of my bed.

I groaned as I sat up in bed and looked where she was pointing. There lied a pile of presents at the foot of my bed.

"Merry Christmas," Pansy smiled.

"Merry christmas," I mumbled as I slid lut of bed slowly. My feet landed onto the floor and I walked over to where the pile of presents laid.

"Wanna open together?" Pansy asks.

"Yeah, sure. You can go first, you can open the first present." I told her.

"Thank you," She smiled and picked up a present, the present from me was wrapped in wrapping paper. She started unwrapping the box while glancing over at me smirking.

"Come on open it!" I giggled, "I hope you like it."

She carefully took the wrapping paper off the box, as she looked at me with a small smile on her face. She took the lid of the box, she smiled instantly.

"Wow," She chirped, she pulled out a black makeup pallet, full of eyeshadows.

"I know you like doing makeup," I smiled.

"I-I love this. Thank you, Victoria!" She wrapped her arms around me, embracing me into a tight hug, "Now I want you to open your present," She said excitingly as she pointed to a small present with red wrapping paper.

I took the present in my hands and started removing the paper of quickly, revealing a black velvet box.

I think I have an idea about what this is.

I smirked at her before opening the box, there inside the box was a ring with a small sun on it.

Pansy had a moon ring, so she must've got me a sun ring so we could match.

"Aw," I smiled, "You have a moon ring right?" I asked her.

"Yup," She held out her hand, showing me her ring with a small moon on it.

"You got me a sun so we can match?" I asked.

"Pretty much, yeah," She nodded.

I wrapped my arms around her, embracing her into another tight hug. We ended up tumbling to the floor, making us laugh.

"Ow," she mumbled. I was laying on top of her.

"Oops," I mumbled, getting off her quickly, "Sorry about that."

"No worries," She smiled.

...

We opened up the rest of our presents together. Draco got me some snake earnings. Blaise had got me a hoodie with the word 'Slytherin' written on it in small white handwriting. Luna got me something as well, she got me some chocolate frogs and a bracelet with Slytherin colored beads on it.

I adored it all.

"Victoria," Pansy snapped me out of my thoughts.

"What," I looked at her.

"Uh...I don't know if you know but," She pointed to something, "You have another present."

I looked over to where the stash of presents once were. A small teddy bear with brown fur and black button eyes and a small bow tie sat there with a small knitted smile.
