1945

Months have went, people were getting more and more stressed about NEWT's. Madam Redmond had to even close the library because she was bombarded with students. Today was exams, the final exams before they finish Hogwarts forever.

Tom and Venus, with preparation flew through the Potions and dark arts one, they had more exams than others so they were kept back. The week was over, their exams were finished. They just need their results.

But what caught Tom and Venus off was that during Headmaster Dippet's speech he kept the seventh years behind.

'Sorry to keep you back! But I have a big announcement to make...becuase it is your final year here at Hogwarts...all the teachers and I have been discussing. That we have put foward the idea of a...dance.' Dippet stood up

Everyone broke out into whispers, but Venus and Tom remained silent.

'So yes it is a ball' Dippet confirmed

All the girls squealed and looked at Tom, to Venus disgust.

She rolled her eyes from the Ravenclaw table.

'Quiet down now, the ball will commence on the last glorious night you stay here. Before you all depart! The ball will be hosted by the professors of Hogwarts, however all prefects shall help in decorating the hall, and setting things up. They will be instructed by Head Boy and Girl, if you do not know who they are, they are Miss Ravenclaw and Mr Riddle' Armando finished

Everyone stared at the beautiful girl and Tom.

'You are all now, dismissed' he shouted, everyone got up hastily. There was only a two week interval to get everything done, and to get dressed and things.

She bulleted it to the Ravenclaw tower. What theme should it even be?! Every ball has a theme according to books. She went straight to her desk, got parchments and a quill and started to map out what to do.

'A ball! A ball! I hope Rosier asks me!' One of the Ravenclaw's squeal

'I hope it's a animal themed black and white ball!' Another said

That made Venus's head start to rummage for ideas.

'Accio Muggle book' she incarnated as the book flew to her hand.

She flipped through the pages to come across different ball themes. But what one?!

She came across royalty. All of them looked stunning. They showed elegance. But in a costume, like animals. Like the girl said.

A costume ball.

Soon she woke up with her head on the desk. Venus didn't even realise it had been day. It was Saturday, she whizzed down into the Great hall. It's going to take up alot of time.

I saw all the prefects there, but Tom was already ordering them about.

'Tom what are you doing? I've already planned this' she came forward to the handsome boy.

'Darling, I've got it under control. I was more going for a formal ball. You know what I'm saying?' He turned to her

'No. I was more thinking like royalty, but in a costume. A costume ball, but it has to be of animal, only in black and white shall they be dressed' she demanded

'But why? I don't want to be dressing up! No way. You can't make me!' He rejected

'Tom this is both our ideas! Not just yours. It can be formal, like you want it but please. Make it more fun!' Venus squealed

'No, no dressing up! Darling, I don't want to' he said aggravated

'Only because you don't, everyone has to bow down to what you say! No! They aren't always going to ass lick you, just because your head boy. I'm head girl so I equal power!' She raised her voice

'Venus. I know you do. But listen to me—

'Please take my thing into account.' She seethed

The prefects started to gather.

'Don't make this all boring, Tom!' She shouted

'I'm making it grand! Like royalty'

'But why don't you make it more fun! Or as your ego got the best of you? Or have you only thought about yourself like you always do!' She clenched her jaw

Before Tom could retaliate some of the prefects stepped in

'Hey, guys. Uh, sorry to interrupt but maybe we should hear what Venus has said. And we will take a vote'

Everyone nodded.

'Right, mine is black and white, costume ball. It will be like royalty. Like anything beyond your imagination. You can be whatever you want! Whereas, Tom's idea is just formal. Nothing else.' Venus explained as Tom glared at her

'I hate to break it to you, Riddle. But Venus's idea seems more fun! Yours is just bland.' Another calls out

'Fine. Have it your way' he crossed his arms and scoffed walking to the corner of the room. Like he was sulking like a little baby.

Venus smirked at her win. I mean was she ever wrong?

Everyday everyone went to work on the great hall where the ball was going to take place. After everyone kind of rejected Tom's idea. He didn't want to have anything to do with it. Which was bad. Venus was angered by his no input.

Everyone had asked girls out. Tom still hasn't even asked Venus to go with him, everyone already assumed that they were going together. But Tom didn't talk to her, and what was he trying to do? If he wants to play this game.

Venus will play it just as good.
