Evil in Riddles {Tom Riddle} (Wattys 2018)

5|| "As you can see, I am also a Peverell"

Serena was at Potions, and Professor Slughorn announced that they will make a potion today.

"Now, now, you will make a potion, Amortentia. I will decide who your partner will be" many students groaned, but Serena just flinched.

She hated it when Professor Slughorn chooses their partners, especially if she was intentionally paired with--

Professor Slughorn took out the list and started reading. "Lestrange with Parkinson"

"Avery with Estella Black"

The list keeps going on and on until...

"Riddle and Gaunt"

Tom and Serena at the same time then shouted.

"NO!!!" Everyone turned to stare at them, shocked. It was the first time either of them shouted, especially in front of a teacher.

"I will not tolerate this kind of behavior in class! Riddle! Gaunt! Detention!" Everyone gasped. They knew that the both of them has perfect records, well, had. But, it is terribly ruined.

"Now, we will start tomorrow. Class dismissed!" They all left, Serena fuming with anger. As they were eating at the Great Hall, Serena stood up.

"Tom Marvolo Riddle!!!!!!!!" She said pointing her finger at Tom, who had a confused look.

"I. Will. KILL YOU!!!!" She said taking out her wand and Tom flew out the doors to who-knows-where. Serena flicked her fingers and disappeared.

"Attention, everyone!" Professor Dumbledore said while everyone was having dinner at the Great Hall.

"Tonight we have a special guest! Let us all welcome, the Queen of England! Elizabeth Selena Gaunt née Peverell!"

Everyone cheered as Elizabeth came in. She wore a long white gown with silver trimmings. She had a silver tiara with white diamonds. She was very much fit for a Queen. She went to the front.

"Thank you very much. I would like to introduce someone very important to me. You may know her, and now she wants to show you her real identity. You all thought I have no daughter, but I do so. I now introduce to you, my one and only beautiful daughter! The Princess of England! Serena Elizabeth Gaunt!"

Everyone gasped as Serena walked in. She wore a long violet and black dress with silver trimmings. Unlike her mother, she wore a black tiara with violet and black diamonds.

As she walked to the front, she was very pleased as she glanced at a very shocked Tom Riddle. She smirked ever so slightly at him before going to the fromt.

"Hello, everyone. I am ever so pleased to be here. Yes, I am England's Princess. I am a Gaunt, but most people only ever thought that my mother was only a Peverell, not a Gaunt. Truth be told, she married my father, Grey Gaunt.

Also, if you thought that she is not my mother for I said that my mother is Selena Gaunt, it was actually her middle name she asked me to say to everyone to avoid recognizing her.

As you can see, I am also a Peverell. And I am glad to be one. That is all, thank you" Serena said finishing her speech. Many applaused, while some are still shocked. Serena then left.

She flicked her fingers and she was in her school robes again. She snapped them again and she was at the Slytherin table, beside Alysia Lovegood and across Tom Riddle.

She isn't really mad of him. In fact, she only just shouted at him for fun. She hanged him by the wall and a poster was there saying 'I'M AN IDIOT' all day before she let him go before dinner.

"Gaunt"

"It's Peverell for you, Riddle" he sighed, irritated.

"Fine then, Peverell" she only smirked at him and started eating.

She snapped her fingers secretly and Tom Riddle started floating.

"What the--"

He only glared at Serena who only smirked while everyone else started laughing.

Serves him right she thought, as Tom started spinning and spinning like a ballet dancer.

"Let me go, Gaunt!" He shouted, but Serena only smirked then snapped her fingers. A large bowl full of flour appeared and Tom fell on it. Everyone was laughing very hard now. While Tom is now very mad.

He stood up and took his wand and flicked it, and the flour on him disappeared. He then dragged Serena out of the Great Hall.

As he was dragging her, he realized thay she was drinking firewhiskey right now. He took it away from her hands.

"Hey! Give it back to me, Riddle!"

But he didn't. Instead, he started drinking it until none was left. Apparently, it was a large cup of firewhiskey and he was drunk.

"Hey! Why did you finish my--" she was suddeny cut off. Pushed to the wall, she realized something.

He kissed her.

Dang it! I knew I didn't want to make them kiss anytime soon but then again he was drunk.
