A picture of Tom Riddle in the media. Hope your day gets better after seeing his face!

The inside of the room was completely dark. From the faint moonlight, we could see the shadows of the furniture, nothing else. I could see the faint reflection of light from somewhere in the room.

The room gave out creepy vibes. I don't know what Xenelle felt, but I had mixed feelings inside me. Sam had been unusually quiet, not ever a sarcastic remark about the house. Huh. That was weird. I walked in the room confidently, looking around at the prices of garbage people called 'antiques'. The walls of the room were covered with some weird shit design, like a triangle with a circle inside it, and a staight line passing though the centre. The walls of the room we dull, but the design was pretty visible.
I looked back at Xenelle, who was looking at each object as if it were a science experiment. I rolled my eyes. Trust her to make everything an experiment.

"Well, did you find anything?" I asked impatiently.

She turned around to face me. "Nothing yet, but I'm pretty sure these aren't normal antiques. I'm just getting a feeling that Tom is hiding something really big behind that face of his."

I agreed completely. There was something off about him, I just couldn't put my finger on it.

"I'm pretty sure with out detective skills, we'll be able to find out what." I said with an arrogant smirk.

"Well yeah. But we'll have to be careful." She said with a frown.

"When are we not?"

She raised an eyebrow, silently disagreeing with me.

"Okay, I rephrase. When are you not?" I said with a teasing grin.

"Yeah yeah enough of that. Now what do we do? There is nothing of importance over here, and travelling in his house is like going around in a freaking castle."

I thought for a minute. There was nothing we could do here, El was right about that. But I was not gonna go anywhere without having my revenge. But how was I gonna get it?

I looked back at her to ask for her opinion, and saw her looking at me with a mischievous face.

"Didn't you say he was a star student? With good grades and stuff?" She asked.

"Well yeah, that's what I have heard from everyone."

"Then, why don't we break into his locker and have a look around? We'll definitely find something useful."

I almost gaped at her.

Keyword, almost. It was rare Xenelle took part in rule breaking, and ever rarer that she contributed ideas willingly. This was an awesome day.

I grinned at her. "Let's do this poo. But first, we'll have a better look around here."

I wasn't leaving without a sovereign.

"Well, okay. But lets go into some other room, there's nothing here."

She turned around to go out, and I followed, but not before grabbing something that had caught my eye the second I entered the room, and slipping it into my pocket.

The next room we entered seemed to be the library. It was a huge room, with strange carvings on the walls, and a huge diamond chandelier hanging from the centre. It had a majestic staircase leading to different levels of the room, where thousands of books were placed neatly on the numerous shelves.
