Trente neuf

After ages looking in Albania, they had finally surpassed another explorer. Who had a weird sort of necklace around his neck.

"Hello" the old scavenger regarded

Avella stayed quiet and look at Tom, who was only looking at the necklace

"Where is that necklace from?" He asked

"Oh this ol' thing, it was in a charity shop. They lent it to me for free" he picked it up and brought it closer to the duo's faced to get a look

It was the Slytherin locket. Avella looked at it in wonder, so it was true. Slytherins locket was legend before this.

"How much?" Tom eagerly asked

"What?" The poor man asked

"For the necklace." Tom added

"Oh no chap. This necklace isn't up for sale. My grandma gave this thing to me, it's all I have of her. Sorry lad, but I can't." He says sadly

"Well, I'm sure you'll see your grandma soon." Tom spitefully added

"Give it a couple of years. The world doesn't need an ol' bag like me anymore, heh." he laughed

"You're right. It doesn't" Tom sourly replied as he quickly pulled his wand out and pointed it at the man

"Now, I don't know what that is. But, please have mercy on me lad. You can find one just like it, I'm sure. Don't hurt me." He pleaded

"Give me the necklace." Tom ordered

"No! I can't, I've told you. Now you see, I best be on my way" he turned to leave

"Avada kedavra" Tom incarnated as the electric like green beam speared at the man. He dropped his stuff, and fell limp onto the bed of leaves.

"He would've spared his life. Sadly he must of picked the wrong choice. Now I bet his grandma will be happy to see him. In hell." He went over and clutched the locket

"This is rightfully mine." He put it in his pocket

"Now let's look for this stupid diadem. It can't be far"

"Tom it's a forest, a colossal one. There is endless possibilities to where it is" Avella shrugged

"We have to look, til we grow old then"
He walked passed her and continued to look

Hours into the looking Avella screamed and ran to Tom who looked confused. Just to see a Burmese python slither towards the two. Avella's eyes widened.

Until Tom decided to speak Parseltongue. Language of snakes.

The snake decided to obey. Tom as it's master.

"I should give a name to you, my fellow partner" he smirked

"Well what is it's name?" Avella asked, the python hissed but Tom told it in that language that she was no enemy or fret.

"Nagini." He triumphantly named it

"Nagini? What type of name is that?" Avella turned towards him

"A name i like" he retaliated

"Well it sounds depressing." She folded her arms

"That's what it's supposed to be like" he turned to keep searching

The snake slithered after him. Avella didn't know what to think

"Hurry up Vella!" He shouted as she ran towards him.

Ages of looking, the hours turned into days. And Avella was the first to get restless. It felt like no hope. Because they still haven't sound anything. Tom was sleeping in a different bed, in a different room.

Avella got up and went to get some water. While Nagini was curled up in the corner of the landing.

"Why are you up?" Toms voice echoed in her brain

"Getting water, why?" She asked

"No reason. I think you were going to bail on me here" he interrogated

"I wasn't thinking that at all. How dare you question me? You have no right to. Nobody has." She stepped forward

"Still haven't forgiven me for that night at Hogwarts then?" He asked

"Why would I've? You're not going to be forgiven easily, and for a very long time" he pushed past him

Tom knew Avella was hard to live with. How could he have made it up to her, without cheating his way through.

"Vella, let me in" he said to the curtain where Avella was behind it

She didn't reply. So he walked in anyways.

"I've left my whole life for you. My dreams I've left for you. But what have you ever given me!" She released anger

"I've given you power" he replied

"But is power ever as big as love, Tom?" A Ella's glossy eyes looked at him

"My love, will never be enough for you. I am never enough for you or your satisfactions!" She through a pillow at him

"Next time it will be a knife!" He added

"Calm down now, Vells. You're being dramatic. Look, I have always been her for you, I am loyal." He lied

"Loyal to drug me with love potion? Because I was too powerful for you? Get over yourself." She answered

He stayed quiet.

"Please forgive me. You are dearer than anybody else to me. I love you" he ran his hand through his locks

"Are you just saying that? Go home and do research on me, maybe would at least know my interests rather than use me for power." She sat on the bed facing away from him

She was right, she left her family. Ran away almost. Left everything, and he gave nothing in return, no gratitude or remorse. He was truly a heartless manipulator.

So we exited and we t to do his research. His wand did all the searching. By day he was an expert on Avella Lestrange

Avella didn't speak to him at all while searching. Until Avella picked up a newspaper. Her as the headline. Tom peered over her shoulder and in a panic snatched it from her hands and burned it. If she read that, she would remember everything.

She gave the dirtiest look before looking for this diadem. They searched high and low, until both heard Nagini hiss. Tom rushed over like Nagini was a wounded baby. And there in the cracks of a old tree, laid a silver diadem. It was beautiful.

They stared at it wide eyed.

The diadem. After weeks, had been found.
