You again, Riddle? (T.M.R.)

▶▶Ch. 2: So let the fun begin...◀◀

1942. Sept. 1. - Slytherin Boy Dorms

"How could she!" shouted Riddle as he slammed the door.

"Oh, I guess... It was Victoria, My Lord" said Orion in a matter-of-factly tone while he was reading his new book, which he got for his 15th birthday. "What did she do this time to anger you, My Lord?"

"She... ruined... my plans! It doesn't matter how hard I try, she just keeps destroying everything! And now she just tell me, Oh and I'm a seer too, so you're fucked up! I don't care how, but I will kill her."

"How long have you been saying this? Like five years? And here we are with Grindelwald every year, Riddle" joined Abraxas who was combing his perfect, blonde hair. "The most surprising thing is that she is the only one, who knows how to push your buttons."

"It's no time for jokes, Malfoy. She didn't even flinched when I mentioned her the marriage thing."

"Wait... You thought she will be angry if you mention it?" Malfoy asked laughing his head off. "Oh, if she ever would be angry about it, even then, she wouldn't show it."

"Don't tell me that she is perfect! She has feelings so she can't be perfect. All I have to do is find her weakness and strike at the right moment."

"Have fun solving Victoria Grindelwald, I have eyes on a different prey, My Lord."

"You have?" Said surprised Abraxas.

"Yes. Didn't you see how beautiful Mary Greengrass got? She looks like an angel fallen straight down from Heaven."

"I think we have different opinion about beautiful. But to be true I maybe have a try with Rosalie Lestrange."

"Didn't you engaged with Victoria?"

"That's a complicated thing. For a fact I'm not engaged to her, yet. Victoria's parents want her to get married so they hold some kind of championship for their daughter's hand and I'm happen to be one of the contestants."

"You are saying that this is a tournament?"

"Yes, but don't even dream about it Riddle. It's for the people in Grindelwald's inner circle."

"But I have a plan how to get there." Smiled evilly Riddle. "So let the fun begin..."

1942. Sept. 5. - Potion Classroom

"I can't decide which one is better."

Lumpsluck didn't know if Victoria's or Tom's Living Death was the better. Both of them had the right colour, smell and the same quality.

"I think both of you are the winners, since I can't decide."

"Again..." moaned Victoria irritated. It seems we are never going to surpass each other. "Next time Riddle"

"Yes, next time Grindelwald. If there will be next time..." said Riddle with an evil smile which would send chills down the people spines, but not Victoria's.

"We'll see about that" smiled back Victoria.

Headmaster Dippet Office

"I have a great idea for a new tradition in Hogwarts" started Riddle while looking at directly Headmaster Dippet. "As you know I come from the muggle world" he continued, saying the word muggle, like it was poison in his mouth. "In their schools there is a day when the students bring their parents to show what they are doing and since the O.W.L.'s and the N.E.W.T.'s are coming up, it would be great if we were shown what can we do after school. Maybe they could stay a few weeks or so."

"It's a wonderful idea, indeed... but how could we make room for these people?" asked Dipped curious as he folded his arms.

"There's a lot of room in Hogsmeade and in here too."

"You're right, maybe we could organise this. I'm grateful that you come up with this beautiful idea of yours. It was time to shake things up."

"I'm happy to help Headmaster. Maybe this could be a surprise for the students. We should invite their parents. It would be right before Christmas break so they can go home with them."

"It's perfect! I call the teachers right away to start writing the letters. Thank you!" and with that Riddle went out of the office just to see the face of Rosalie. The minion of Victoria was looking as usual with the dark brown hair of hers and those green painted nails and the high-heeled shoes.

"What do I owe the pleasure, minion of Victoria?"

"I'm not her slave!" shouted the girl angrily, but in a matter of seconds she returned to her calmer self. "Oh, my..." she said as she dug her hand in her hair "where did I put my manners? I must have looked crazy. I'm really sorry for that. It's been a tough week and I..."

"Get to the point, Girl" said Riddle impatiently, because he wanted to go and gloat with his followers. He finally going to defeat Victoria. No... he is going to raze her to the ground, making her pay for ever crossing paths with him.

"I want to help, because we both now Riddle, that I don't play for being Victoria pawn. I want so much more..." whispered Rosie in Riddle's ear. "and I know that you can give me what I want. I will help you and in return, I will get her place after you finished her. Do we have a deal?"

"I don't trust you, yet. Maybe if you're willing to tell me everything I have to know about her, I will consider your deal."

"Then we should head to the library. There's almost no one there at this time" said Rose as she started to walk to the library in her tracks with Riddle.

"So? What is her weak point? When is she in her lowest? Things she afraid of? Her boggart?"

"As they say: curiosity killed the animagus. Don't ask too much Riddle. Well... if you want to see the real Victoria, whom you can definitely destroy, you should get into her family. It's the only thing she loves besides herself. You should make her fall in love with you and you are in for it."

"So you are want me to do the impossible?"

"Riddle, the impossible would be if you were the one who falls in love with her."
