I know that Sebastian is flirting with me. I think he has a crush on me, but I don't really feel the same for him, so I don't say anything to him, and I hope he doesn't say anything to me. Sebastian continues to flirt with me, sending small little teasing glances my way throughout dinner. Every few minutes, he makes a comment or throws me a flirty look. While I don't feel the same way about him, I can still appreciate the attention. His confidence is endearing, and I can see why the girls at Hogwarts find him so charming. He certainly doesn't lack flirtation skills, and with the party coming up, I feel a sense of excitement as I imagine what might happen. I still feel watched by Tom. I don't know what he's up to.
As I continue to enjoy my conversation with Sebastian, I feel a constant, subtle gaze on me. I turn my head to see Tom, his green eyes watching me from another table. He's sitting alone, his expression stoic and unreadable. It's clear that he's been watching me and Sebastian talk for a while, but the question remains... what does he think about that? His eyes continue to track my movements, carefully observing every little gesture that I make.
After dinner we go back to the common room but I'm very tired so I go to my dorm directly. In front of my door lays a bouquet of flowers. I look confused and pick it up, and there's a little card attached to them. The card says, "I'm sorry, please forgive me." There's no name on it. I take it in and think for a moment. Who could say sorry to me? Then for a moment I think it could be from Tom but then I forget this thought fast.
The bouquet is beautifully arranged, and the card makes my heart skip a beat for a moment. But now that I think about it again, it does seem possible that this could have come from him. Maybe he regretted being rude to me earlier today and wanted to make up for it. Is that why he's been watching me so intently lately?
But is he really the type of man that would send me flowers? I really don't think so. I'm also too tired to think about it and put the flowers in a vase, then I get ready and go to bed to sleep.
I try not to think too much about the flowers as I get ready for bed. I'm sure it couldn't have been Tom who sent them. He wouldn't suddenly change from being so rude to being nice. Besides, flowers are too romantic, and I doubt that Tom Riddle is the kind of guy who would do anything this cheesy. Right?
