Darkness // Tom Riddle // Voldemort // (2.2)

Friends close but...

'Teenagers are assholes' lula informed them

'Professor malfoy-' minvera scolded.

'Profresonally speaking its been proven'. Lula said spinning her drink. 'their brains are underdeveloped making them more reckless and make poor decisions.' Lula said simply. 'therefore assholes.' She smiled back at severus before she saw Lucius entering school grounds she ran to him. 'Luci!" she declared hugging him.

'Lula,' he coed kissing her cheek.

'something is going on with potter,' lula informed her brother, hooking her arm in his.

'what do you mean?' severus couldn't help but notice that Lucius was more confident, less cowardly when lula was around. Like he was trying to prove to himself and the dark lord that he was a trusted follower. That he would keep an eye on lula but Voldemort knew lula was his and his alone. He trusted her with his whole being.

'potter has been seeing albus, a lot.... actually albus showed me a memeory of Tom. Little tom. It was so cute. I think they are up to something but I cant figure out what.' Lula told him.

'I'm sure you will figure it out, a brilliant mind such as yours.' Lucius encouraged.

'I don't like being left the dark when it comes to those two. They are schemeing, I know it.'

+++++++

'Sir?' tom questioned 'is it true that professor Zorn is retiring?'

'I don't know and thank you for the pineapple treat it is my favorite.' Slughorn informed him. 'How did you know?' Slughorn questioned happily eating the treat.

'Intuition' Tom replied smiling over at lula as the chime went off.

'time flies when you are having fun, doesn't it?' slughorn remarked. 'off to bed.' Their friends headed off but lula stayed with tom. 'Look sharp Tom you don't wanna be caught out of bed after hours...' but tom didn't move. 'is something you mind?'

'You see I didn't know who I could go to the other professors are not like you...' tom informed him sweetly. 'I didn't think they would understand.' Tom went on.

'Go on' slughorn encouraged.

'I was in the library the other night and the restricted section and I read some thing...'

'the restricted section?' slughorn questioned.

'quite a lot of fun reads in there.' lula informed him wrapping her arms around Toms waist.

'I was... we were hoping you could help me understand it. It was...' his words became mumbled.

'I don't know anything about that get out of here at once!' slughorn demanded. Harry was pulled from the vision.

'seems strange doesn't it?' albus questioned and harry nodded. 'That Memory was tampered with by the person whose memory it is I need you to get inside what really happened that night what he found out.' Albus told him. 'him or professor Malfoy.'

'professor Malfoy?' harry questioned.

'she was there, she knows. She knows what they talked about but I feel you will have better luck with professor Slughorn.' Albus told him.

'why is professor Malfoy here?' harry pondered.

'keep your friends close harry but your enemies closer.' Albus informed him.
