Charlene and Tom haven't been talking for three days ever since the fight. Tom hater that he couldn't talk to her anymore, he loved her, and only her. Tom never really enjoyed any one else's company and only Charlene's. Jess walked into the library feeling quite festive. Tom watched as she sat down and started to do her homework, smiling. He knew she had to do with Charlene going all confident and psycho. Tom moved and sat next to her. He knew how to persuade girls, but it was kind of disgusting.
"Good evening Miss. Snape." Tom said and touched her arm. Jess shivered and continued with her work. Tom sighed and pulled her up.
"Hey what are you-"
"Shhh, don't want to get kicked out." He said and guided her to an abandoned hallway. Jess leaned against the wall and Tom went close until his face was close to hers.
"What did you do to Charlene?" He asked in a low voice. Jess only shivered and looked at him.
"I-I-I can't say." She said and turned away. Tom sighs and balled up his fists.
"Either you tell me, or I'll hex you." He threatens and Jess shakes.
"Fine! I gave her one of the seven sins potion. She has pride, good luck with getting her back." Jess said with a smirk. Tom took out his wand and stunned her. She feel on the floor, knocked out.
"This is going to take a lot of my time." He said and dragged Jess into the chamber of secrets. I tied her up to a chair and went back up. I started to look for Charlene. I saw her again, but she sat down and carved on the wall.
"Char?" Tom said and she looked up at him.
"What do you want Riddle? Can't you see I'm busy?" She asked him and went back to carving.
"How did Snape give you that potion?" He asked her and she rolled her eyes.
"Why do you wanna know?" She asked him and now he rolled his eyes.
"I just want the girl I love back." He said and she stood up, sighing.
"I had a deal with Jess, I helped her with a personal thing and she would show me something no one had ever seen. So she lead me into an empty classroom and had seven potions in front of me. I chose one and drank, here I am." She explainer and Tom looked around. Slughorn was the only way he could get her back, he was by far Tom's favorite teacher.
"Lets go." He said and she stayed behind.
"Where?" She asked with her arms crossed.
"To Slughorn." He said and dragged her arm. Char looked at his hand on her arm and felt her heart flutter again. Tom knocked on Slughorn's door and the door opened to reveal Slughorn.
"Ah Tom and Charlene, how nice to see you, please come in." He said and invited them inside. Charlene stood behind Tom with her arms crossed again.
"I may have a problem Professor." Tom said and Slughorn looked at him.
"What do you mean, Tom?" Tom grabbed Slughorn and walked him to the side of the room.
"Jessica Snape gave Charlene one of the seven sins." Tom said and Slughorn gave him a horrified expression.
"B-b-but that's impossible! Those potions were banished long ago!" Slughorn said and looked at Charlene, who looked at her nails.
"I know, and I'm trying to figure out how Jessica got her hands on them." Tom said and looked at Charlene.
"So that's why Charlene has been rebellious for the past days, she has taken the pride potion." Slughorn says in realization.
"Do you have potion that can change her back to normal?" Tom asked and Slughorn though for a minute.
"I believe I do Tom, but it might take two potion masters. Why don't you help me? I bet we'll get her back in no time." Slughorn said and Tom nodded.

It's been a week and Tom finished the potion with Slughorns help. Tom fetched a drink Charlene liked, butterbear. He put the potion inside and gave it to her. They sat in the three broomsticks, close to the door.
"What's this?" She asked him.
"A treat for doing swell in your O.W.L's." He said and waited for her to drink it.
"Is there any alcohol?" She asked and Tom lies.
"Yes there is, I couldn't forget about it." He said and she drank it. She smiled and then her eyes rolled back. She collapsed on the table and Tom carried her out. He apparated into the entrance of Hogwarts. He went straight into Slughorn's room.
"Did you give it to her?" He asked as Tom sets her down on a couch.
"Yes, she fainted." Tom said and stroked her cheek.
"How long till she gets better?" Tom asked while looking lovely at her.
"Till she wakes up. Don't worry Tom, I'll watch her." He said and shooed Tom away.

A week later Charlene awoke from a bad headache. Slughorn went by her side and checked her head.
"W-What's going on? W-what happened?" She asked and saw Slughorn.
"Professor? Where's Tom?" She asked and Slughorn puts his hand up.
"It's alright, Tom is fine. You were put under a potion. You don't remember a thing?" He asked and she shook her head.
"Ah good, go up to your dormitory, and promise me you'll see Tom?" He asked and Char smiled.
"I promise." She said and left him.

The next morning, Charlene woke up and got dressed. She went into the great hall and people stared at her. She walked it her seat and sat down. The door opened to reveal Tom. Charlene ran away and straight past him. Tom didn't seem to notice but shrugged it off.
•
It was a free period and Tom went to the courtyard with his followed when he noticed people talking to Charlene.
"Hey Char, Tom looking at you." One of her friends say and Charlene faces Tom.Tom walked to her and she did also.
"It's been a while Riddle." She said and looked into his eyes."I've missed you." She said and hugs him. Everyone watches, even the fan club.
"Met too." Tom said and hugged her back. Tom kissed her and Charlene gasped. She kissed back and everyone clapped. The fan club ran away, crying. But the two didn't care. They only cared that they were into each other's arms. As for Jessica, let's just say she got what she deserved.

~Jessica's P.O.V~
I woke up in a chair, facing a opened mouth of a statue. I tried to get out but I was tied to the chair.
"Help!" I yelled, but my voice only echoed. I heard something and turned to see a Basilisk. I screamed and my life didn't get any better.
