Control // Tom Riddle

Two

The weekend went by too fast for Primrose's taste. She spent most of her time in the library trying to reteach herself lessons she couldn't understand in class. It was utterly degrading and ended with tears. After six years at Hogwarts she couldn't understand why she felt so useless as a witch when it came to certain topics. Because of that she constantly tried to remind herself that she was good at other things, she always then thought back to Herbology. Prim was sure that if Tom Riddle was still taking Herbology then she'd be even beating him in marks. That may have been a stretch..

It was now Tuesday of the following week and the day seemed to be going as normal. Rain pattered the ground softly, full clouds a dark gray floated ominously in the sky. Splashes could be heard as students ran through the countless numbers of puddles trying to make it to their classes without getting wet. The air felt dreary and a stale stench hung in the air. Today described how Prim felt her mind worked. Never ending gray was everywhere.

Primrose's normal light brown/blonde hair was wet and slightly flat. Her skin had small droplets shimmering down, paleness with tinges of red on her cheeks took over. She looked sickly in this moment as she sniffled attempting to keep up with her friends.. Charms didn't start for another hour so the friends were just wandering until Daisy had to set off for her earlier class... Daisy was a year younger than them, but she could hardly be looked down upon.

"Would you two wanna walk with me to Arithmancy?" Daisy asked politely. Her brown curly hair bounced up and down cutely as she walked. Daisy was well... like a daisy in many ways, always happy, bright and naive seeming. If there was someone who would know how to cheer others up, it was her.

"Of course!" Kate said, "no reason to go anywhere alone when us two don't have class." It always made a smile form on Prim's face when she was with these two girls. They were what she desperately wanted to be like, independent, funny, and unafraid of problems. She was the exact opposite..

The three were heading down flights of stairs when a body suddenly collided with Primrose. For a split second it felt like everything stopped until she came crashing down onto the floor. An excruciating pain shot up her frail body as she came into contact with the hard tile. Thankfully her hand was the only thing that came into contact with something sharp. Her face clenched up in pain as blood began to drip down the palm of her hand, oozing out at a rapid pace. Her friends gasped running right after her, a dirty blonde haired boy stared in shock realizing what he had done, for he got out with barely a scratch.

"I-I'm so sorry my friends and I didn't mean to..."

"Help us then!!" Kate practically screamed. Her face was red with anger, veins showing on her forehead. The boy who knocked her out looked almost confused before jumping into action and helping to pick her up, "be thankful she didn't fall down the stairs-"

"G-guys I'm okay..."

"Primrose look at your hand! We gotta get you to the hospital wing." Daisy felt somewhat nauseous at the sight of the red liquid in front of her.

"Ah Daisy get to class we got this." Kate ordered.

"But-" she quieted down not wanting to argue. At this rate she was going to be late but she needed to be besides Prim; she looked scared.

Prim was doing her best not to cry or show she was in pain, but already wet tears were falling down her cheeks. She sniffled continuously looking down as people only looked at the three walking for a split second. It seemed like it was taking hours to arrive at the hospital wing, each step was brutally slow.
