"Me?" I asked.
"Yes, you."
"And why me?" I asked.
"Because you're the only one that actually cared about me. You're the only one that can relate to me. We've both been abandoned. Left alone in this big world."
I took in what he said and smiled.
"You're right," I said.
He smiled.
"But, just because the world hurts you doesn't mean you destroy everyone and everything with it," I said. "Wounds don't last forever, don't you understand?"
His smile faded.
"What do you know about wounds and scars," he asked flatly.
I didn't know how to reply. My mind was blank.
"I want you to stand by me. I'm the heir of Slytheirn, there's nothing you can't do by my side... I want you to stand by me" he proposed. "Willingly."
I was shocked since I thought he was going to force me by his side.
"You don't have to answer now," he said. "But."
"But?"
"You will be attending the Deccenary Ball with me," he said. "That wasn't a question."
"Fine."
I got up to leave.
Just as I was about to open the door, he stopped me.
"Wait."
I looked back at him.
"Goodnight, Victoria, he said.
"Goodnight, Tom."
