*Book 1* The Dark Lady (Tom Riddle Love Story)

Chapter Three

I sat at the table in Potions, glaring hard at the back of the head of Narcissa, who was sitting in front of me with her two sisters.

"You know, if you keep glaring like that, you'll cause a hole in her head." whispered Riddle in my ear, who just so 'happens' to be sitting next to me. I  turned my glare toward him.

"It is only your fault on why I am in this mess." I hissed at him, he raised his eyebrow.

"How is it my fault? Your friend over there who you were just glaring at the back of her head, is the one that left you when you bumped into me in the hallway." he stated, I rolled my eyes.

"Only because she heard that nastily rumor that you started about." I growled, Riddle smirked.

"Oh you mean the one about courting you?" he asked, I narrowed my eyes more.

"No, the one where you got a dragon for a pet, of course the one about you courting me!" I snapped a little too loud. Professor Slughorn, who was in the middle of explaining why Dragon Scales are important ingredients in powerful potions, looked up toward me and Riddle from his book, along with every other attention of the students.

"Miss Rose and Mister Riddle, since you too love to talk to each other while I'm trying to teach, why don't you both share detentions together later on today. Just because both of you are my favorite students, does not mean I can let you pass. Now! Back to the lesson." he said cheerfully while looking back down to the book. Riddle chuckled lightly next to me while I started to tap on the table with my fingers annoyed. Narcissa turned her head and gave me nervous smile, while I just shot her a glare. 

*****

Narcissa laughed, "How was I supposed to know you two would get into detention together?" she asked while we sat at the Slytherin Table during lunch, the food hasn't appeared yet, so kids usually just sit and talk. I shot her a glare.

"Why did you even have us sit together in the first place?" I snapped at her, she laughed again.

"Well actually, you didn't have to sit next to each other." 

"The only other seat that was open was the Parkinson girl." I growled, Andromeda, one of Narcissa's older sisters, gave me a reassuring smile.

"Don't worry Ebony, it's just a dumb rumor, boys will be boys." she commented, Narcissa scoffed.

"Oh please, it's not just any rumor Andie, this is Tom Riddle we're talking about." Narcissa smirked at me, I shot her a glare while Andromeda just rolled her eyes.

"Oh Cissy, just leave Ebony alone. If she says she doesn't want to court him, then she doesn't want to court him." I smirked back at Narcissa, who just rolled her eyes while shaking her head, "Though.....they wouldn't be a bad pair...." my head shot back to Andromeda, who was sitting in front of me.

"Andromeda!" I yelled, she laughed.

"Ha! See! I am right." Narcissa said victoriously. I rolled my eyes.

"Oh please, I wouldn't even court him if he was the last person on this dreadful planet." I snapped, Andromeda only chuckled at my comment but didn't reply, while Narcissa smirked at me.

"I think he has other plans for you." she commented, nodding her head slightly to the left. I looked over to see Riddle near the end of the table, looking at me. I narrowed my eyes when his met mine, all he did was smirk while going back to the conversation he was having. I looked back to Narcissa, annoyed by what she has been trying to do, all she do was wink at me, I was about to snap at her when a body bounced right between us.
