1943

It was coming up to Christmas again, it will nearly be 1944! And it was crazy

Tom and Venus were in the hall reading a book.

'Is there someone else we can speak to? I heard Ravenclaw has something called a diadem' Tom leaned against the wall reading

'Yes, there is. But it's like the Ravenclaw heirloom, and incredibly precious' Venus exclaims

'I want to know more about it. I know you do, but I need a little more, let's say experience ' he said

'Like Helena Ravenclaw? Daughter of Rowena? My aunt?' Venus stops leaning on the wall

'Yes. But I have a feeling she will tell us something worthwhile' he said grabbing her hand and leading her towards Ravenclaw tower.

Venus knew in the last years she had ordered people to hide it. And it was hidden in a tree trunk in Albania.

'Tom she won't tell you anything! I know it' Venus tries pulling back

'Well, we can persuade her. You find I can be very persuasive, don't you darling' he looks at her

Once he dragged her to Ravenclaw tower it was dark by now.

'Helena? Auntie Helena?' Venus's voice echoed down the hall she usually is in.

Soon the ghost of her aunt came swooping down

'Isn't it my beautiful Venus! Oh and who's this?' She looked at Tom

'Tom Riddle, pleasure to meet you' he said in a charming voice

'What brings you here, Venus?' She looked at the girl

'Well Tom wanted to visit you, he thinks you can help us' Venus nodded to Tom

'Miss Ravenclaw, I suppose you know about Ravenclaw diadem?' He stepped forward

'Yes, that is correct. Why?' Helena floated around both of the two

'I wanted to know more about it.' He asked merrily

'And why is that? You could of asked Venus' Helena questioned

'Quite so. But I thought I would go to someone with more experience of the diadem, and come to you, a beautiful lady' he smirked

He was charming her. And it worked

Helena chuckled, blushing.

'I like this boy. Tom Riddle is your name?' She smiled sweetly, totally deceived.

The curly raven haired boy nodded.

'Could you tell me more? Beautiful lady.' He asked inching closer eagerly

'Rowena, my mother. She loved the tiara. But when she gave it to me, she wanted it destroyed, I didn't know why. I tried to do it myself but it was practically unbreakable. Even Venus tried to break it, but now it's gone forever' Helena kept circling them

'What do you mean gone?' Tom questions

'Gone, meaning it isn't here anymore. It has been hidden somewhere where nobody can find it.' Helena concluded

'Pretty lady, you must know where it ought to be?' Tom said

'No! I cannot help you. It is far away and safe. That's all that matters' she stopped turning her back on us

'She's unusually sensitive, try and take it slow' Venus whispered to Tom who nodded irritated.

'I'm sorry to offended you, my dear Helena. But I can help you destroy it. I can make everything go away' he walks forward

'How can I trust you?' She turned back around

'Because, Helena. I'm smart, I know how to fulfil peoples wishes. If only you tell me where to find this diadem' he whispers soothingly to her

'I can break it once and for all, everything will be forgiven. Think about it, Helena. Everything will be as it was, when I break it' Tom tried to persuade her

Her face was all sorts of emotions

She looked to Venus who just stood there, she didn't know what Tom was going to do. But it couldn't be good. She motioned for Helena not to tell him, she sighed

'I cannot tell you, Tom Riddle. It is against my nature' Helena crossed her arms

'Please. I'm an orphan, who only wants to help you become a better version of yourself by breaking the diadem' he pleaded

'You promise?' Helena replied skeptically

'I promise with all my heart to you, Helena' he smiled genuinely

Venus knew he was a criminal mastermind. But even more shocking that Helena didn't even stand her ground

'It's in Albania, in the forest. Hidden in a tree trunk. You will find it there.' Helena then whisked her ghost body away and not to be seen

Tom turned to Venus smirking

'Looks like we need to retrieve a diadem.' He smirked

'Not until after Hogwarts. We still have our NEWT exams next year and I'm not failing because of you.' Venus replies

'We will, darling' he kissed her forehead

'Are you even intending to break it?' Venus questioned, raising her eyebrows

'Why? Why not use it to our advantage. Ravenclaw is the most innocent house, nobody would expect to make a Horcrux out of their prized possession.' Tom laughs hysterically

'Your unbelievable, Tom' Venus seethed

He chuckled darkly

'Darling, I love you. But please, this for our safe future. I promise you, nothing will happen' he hugs her

'You break a lot of promises, Tom' she pulled away

'Not this one i'm not. This is for us, nobody else' he hummed

'I hope so' she looks around

'I know so' he replies

Venus never though her love unrest would be the infamous Tom Riddle. Their love was abnormal. Nothing like a fantasy Venus read about in books. But she loved the thrill
