"You visited your uncle?"

"I did."

"How did it go?"

"Quite well. But he's a drunkard. Most of his words are sloppy and do not make sense."
"Wasn't he imprisoned for three years?"

"Indeed, but maybe he has changed now."

Tom sees her nods to his words,  hoping that she does not register his lies.

They went quiet for a short moment as Tom looked down to see that their thighs are touching.

It seems that she has noticed the same since her cheeks had turned bright red, yet she does not move away, choosing instead to enjoy his warmth.

"It's getting quite late." She finally uttered.

"I shall-"

"May I come with?" Tom asked, cutting over Sela.

Her eyes lights up at his question as a smile begin to form on her full lips.

"Of course."

"Lead the way, my lady." Tom got up and spoke, gesturing her to lead the way, followed by her soft chuckles.

He loves those soft chuckles.

Their journey to Godric's Hollow.

As they arrived, Sela utters, "I have to bring some cloths inside, by this time it must have dried already. I'm sure you know your way in." She smiles.

Tom stays silent and so she continues.

"Well there's a door. It's quite rectangular and it has a lock. What you do is you pull out your wand and say 'Alohamora' and then this 'door' will open and what you'll do next is go inside."
Tom only a smirks at her way of humour.

"Do you need help bringing the cloths in?" He leans down to ask her, making her go red again.
"I- I'm- it's not much, I can do it myself, please go inside." She left immediately after, leaving a smirking Tom riddle and his high.

He he's wanting to kiss those beautiful flushed cheeks.

But he must refrain himself.

He then walked up the front porch before opening her door with the spell.

As the inside of this home come into view, he had thought to himself about how empty it was, how cold it seems and how if they were together, their home would be warm, comfortable and secure.

He began to walk inside and saw an elf doing dishes atop a chair which it stands on.

This elf had somehow caught his reflection as it had jumped and screamed in horror dropping the glass  in its hands and shattering it all pieces.

Tom had kept a straight face, not reacting to the scene until he heard the footsteps of his girl that he went over to this elf and tries to help it up.
