*TOM RIDDLE POV*


Staring out, I watch the first years on their broomsticks outside.



It's dead silent in her dorm.



She still sits on her bed as I stand at the windowsill.



She sips at her tea.




I pause for a minute, thinking to myself, thinking of something to say.



"(Y/N)-"


-I begin.



"Tom-"


-She says just as I speak, leading us both to cut each other off.




Silence once again.


We stare at each other, a bit confused, before I finally speak.



"Go ahead."



She hesitates for a moment before speaking.



"It's just that, I was maybe thinking of not attending class, just for today that is."




I wonder how many of her classes she actually does attend on a regular basis.




"Do you want me to come along?"


-I ask.


I would like to come along, I just don't want to sound like a nag.



She pauses, thinking over her choices for a minute before she replies to me.


"Yes."


"If you wouldn't mind."


-She adds.



Of course I wouldn't mind.



"I don't mind."
