Forbidden Love (Tom Riddle Fanfiction)

Chapter 17

The next morning Augustana and Nicollete got up early for breakfast.

"Should we wake Genevieve up?" Nicollete said as she puts on her robe.

"Doesn't hurt to try. I'm so jealous she has her own dorm. Must be nice to have a big room." Augustana said.

"Must be nice to have a room without Ava" Nicollete said.

Augustana giggled, "Don't be so mean"

They then walked out of their dormitory and headed their way to Iris's.

"Mean? Oh please, compared to her, I'm a saint. She's so in over her head" Nicollete said.

"I know she's been a bit rough, but she's still the same Ava we know" Augustana said.

"Are you sure you're in the right house, Augustana? Face it, she's gone. And now that she's a part of Tom's group, she's in too far" Nicollete said.

"You think things would be different if Iris never left?" Augustana said.

"Definitely. She would've kept Tom and Ava in check." Nicollete said.

"I wish she could come back" Augustana said.

"She's done horrible things. Even she knows she belongs in Azkaban. You can't excuse that" Nicollete said.

"You're right. But to see Tom's face when he sees her would be something I'd pay to see" Augustana said.

"I'd pay to see Ava getting all riled up" Nicollete said.

They arrived in front of Iris's door. They walked up to her door and knocked softly.

"Genevieve? It's Augustana" Augustana said.

"You wanna join us for breakfast?" Nicollete added.

Iris gently opens her eyes as she starts to hear them. She felt incredibly groggy and didn't want to leave her bed. She looked at her clock and sunk back down.

"Go on without me" Genevieve said.

They barely heard her but understood. They arrived at the great hall and ate some porridge.

"We should have forced her to get ready! Now she won't have time to eat breakfast." Augustana said.

"You sound like my Mum" Nicollete said, making them both laugh.

Their conversation caught Tom's attention, for he too was sitting at the Slytherin Table with his gang.

"I'm sure, she can take care of herself. With what's going on with the war, can't blame her for trying to get some sleep. Imagine the chaos in Durmstrang" Nicollete said.

"You're right, but I do hope she can join us. It's nice to see a new face around here" Augustana said

Iris was already up after they woke her and was just in time to hear their conversation, "Thanks" Iris stood behind the girls grabbing an apple.

They chatted for a while, but Tom continues to stare at her. A group of boys walked toward Iris.

"We were wondering since you were probably taught much more in Durmstrang, if you can teach us a few things or two at our club later tonight?" one of the boys asked.

"Sure" She replied with no hesitation.

"Sweet, thanks!" they said before leaving.

"What made you agree so quickly? " Augustana said.

"They need it" Iris said.

"How would you know?" Nicollete said.

"Someone is abusing their authority around here. People are scared, and frightened by a particular individual" Iris said.
