Riddled

I Will Not Fall

Evelyn stared at herself in the bathroom mirror, and angrily ran a hand through her long hair. Tom had opened the Chamber of Secrets! Evelyn shouldn't be that shocked, but it came so suddenly! She had only been here for a few months!

Headmaster Dippet questioned Queenie and I about what we saw. All the teachers seemed alarmed, and tension was growing. Especially Ravenclaw! One of their own was petrified, they have the right to be freaked out by all this. Evelyn sighed and continued getting ready. She needed to get closer to Tom. If he had a new focus, maybe he wouldn't be so set on destroying the lives of muggleborns.

She walked out into the common room area and Slytherin's were whispering everywhere. She even overheard one group of Slytherin's laughing at how the muggleborn deserved it. Evelyn felt awful. She could have prevented it! But then she stopped herself, how would she have prevented it? Making Tom stay by her side all night long? And no wonder they canceled the Halloween dance forever, a girl got petrified last night!! Evelyn looked across the room and blanched. Tom and his two friends were smirking ever so slightly. What was Evelyn going to say to Tom?! 'Hello new friend, I wondering if you saw or did anything suspicious last night? Oh no reason I am just suspecting you to be the cause!' Oh yes that will go over smoothly. Her feet dragged her over to Tom and stood very awkwardly next to him.

"Hey." She said giving him a small wave. Hey? Was she stupid? That sounded pathetic!

"Last night was a lot of fun Tom, I really enjoyed it!" Evelyn said.

"It was my pleasure." Tom said smiling and looking right into Evelyn's eyes. Evelyn couldn't help but state back into his alluring brown eyes. Evelyn blushed and looked down at her shoes. She couldn't fall for him. He was a murderer, well, he will be. She wouldn't let herself fall for Tom Riddle.

Time skip! Cuz I got nothing! Ha! :

Three!!! Three more people have been petrified!! That makes four total!! Good job Evelyn! If you can't save the future, at least you can add! Evelyn sat in a corner of her dorm room, blaming herself that it was her fault she didn't stop Tom. It was now January, and snow was on the ground. Christmas was last week, and Tom and Evelyn had stayed. It was nice and quiet. Evelyn felt closer to Tom, and she told herself it was a good thing. She could get close to him and prevent the horrible future. Dumbledore was counting on her. The future was counting on her. Thank goodness the herbology professor was working on a mandrake drought to cure those who had been petrified.

"Evelyn! Get off the ground and come up to the Great Hall. Have you been here all night?" Queenie asked shaking Evelyn out of her deep thought.

Evelyn looked up quickly. She had been here all night, someone had been petrified last night. She hadn't changed out of her robes, her hair was probably a mess, and probably her makeup too.

"You look awful! You go back to bed." Queenie ordered.

"But--"

"No buts! Except the one that is going to get in that bed and rest." Queenie snapped. Evelyn nodded vigorously, you don't say no to Queenie Natalia

"First take a shower, you look like you were in a wind storm." Queenie said pulling Evelyn to her feet.

Once Evelyn had showered and was forcefully pushed back into bed, Queenie had left. Before she did she said,

"I'll tell the professors you're not feeling well. Bye!" Queenie said shutting the door.

Evelyn looked around and decided that since she had nothing to do, she would try to sleep. Just for an hour though, then she would go to class. Evelyn settled into her covers and closed her eyes. Just an hour.

"Evelyn. Wake up. It's almost time for dinner." Someone said. Evelyn jolted up.

"What?"

"Yeah, you slept most of the day." Queenie said.

Evelyn groaned. She didn't want to have slept all day. She gently got up and was glad she had changed into regular clothes before she fell asleep. She went straight out of the dorm room and ran into someone.

"Evelyn! I thought you were ill?" Tom asked placing a hand on Evelyn's shoulder.

"I'm fine now. Thank you Tom." Evelyn said giving a small smile. He smiled back.

"Shall we go to dinner?" Tom asked. Evelyn nodded. Evelyn wished he would stop smiling. She couldn't help but be attracted to it. No. Evelyn Granger, she scolded herself, you will not fall in love with him.
