"How can a boy be late? And all of them, why Riddle?" asked Victoria pretty annoyed.

"I don't know why are you waiting for him. You should start patrolling alone."

"And leave Riddle here to kill people? Nah" waved Victoria.

"Whatever you say..."

"Remember to do what I said or you never going to reach your goal" stated Rose as she walked with Riddle to Victoria.

"Oh, so you are finally here! Good!"

With that Victoria finally started patrolling the second time in this year. You can't say she was happy to be with Tom Riddle, the guy, whom she hated to the core and below. For her, the Future Dark Lord was no more than a little boy, who sees pleasure in tormenting other kids. It was so childish for her that she could go on and on explaining why this is a foolish and time-wasting thing to do. Yes, she enjoys seeing others in pain as much as Riddle, but she does not lives for that. She has a role in this society as the queen, the successor of her father. She don't have time for...

"You are so quiet tonight, the cat got your tongue?" interrupted Riddle her thoughts as they were walking down the dark corridors of Hogwarts looking for people, who does not follow the rules of the school.

"No, I've just decided to not speak with you, Arschloch (asshole)."

"So, you are speaking German too. Quite interesting."

"Deutsch ist nichts Interessantes (German is not interesting)." said Victoria in a bored tone, while thinking about the time she spent in Normengard with her family.

"That means you were born in Germany, weren't you?"

"No" she said, shaking her head. "I was actually born in France, Paris to be more precise. In 1927, the 11th day of September." She had no idea why she shares these information. Maybe she just wanted to tell someone her story, but she cursed herself that it had to be Riddle.

She saw the boy frozen for a second like a statue.

"You were born on that day?" It was more like a statement than a question from his side.

"Yeah, if you mean my father rally at Cimetière du Père-Lachaise, then you are right. It's funny that the first thing I saw, was the death of many people. Killed by my father, my mother, their allies and the Aurors." said Victoria closing her eyes. Riddle was to nice to her and she knew that he is planning something. So she continued to play along in hope she will know more of Riddle's plan. "Sometimes I just feel cursed" said Victoria letting out a fake sigh.

"Rosalie was right. Talking about her family is a direct hit" thought Riddle, feeling so good that everything went according to his plan. "Don't be. You should be happy, that you have a family."

"A lot of people say that to me."

"With a reason" then a small figure appeared in front of them. It was a second year Gryffindor, out of it's room after curfew. So they made their way to the boy which they intended to send into detention. "And by the way. You should speak more German. It suits you."

"Wie du willst, Riddle (As you want, Riddle). Aber wir müssen das Kinder Strafe geben (But we must give the child detention). Das ist unsere Aufgabe (This is our task)."

"And you should maybe teach me some German and I will understand what you are saying"

"Haben Sie den Verstand verloren (Are you out of your mind)? Ich werde Deutsch Sprache nicht lehren (I won't teach you German)!" shouted Victoria irritated.

"I take this as an yes" smirked Riddle while reaching the kid in front of them.

"Nein! - You know what this means? It means no, like no, I would never teach you German in a Million years Riddle! And you!" pointed Victoria at the shaking boy in front of them. "You're in big trouble little man! I will make you go to detentions for the rest of this year! Don't cry to me! You should have thought about not breaking the rules before you stepped out of your messy Gryffindor room" with that the boy sprinted back to his house common room for Victoria's happiness.

"You scared him Grindelwald" stated Riddle.

"Well, it's better if I scared him that you. Because you are the murderous and psychopathic person from the two of us."

"I would take that as an compliment Grindelwald..."

"Call me Victoria" said suddenly the girl, smiling. "My friends call me Victoria."

"So after five years, are we suddenly friends?"

"Yes, but I told you why on the first day. It's not suprising that you didn't pay attention. Should I repeat that it's only because of Slughorn or you are capable to remember what i said?" with that she looked at her golden watch which she got as an early birthday present from her parents. "We shoud head back. It's almost one o'clock."

They walked in full silence until they arrived to their common room, the space where they started this evening journey.

"Well then. Good night Gr-Victoria."

"Otherwise Tom. We'll see each other tomorrow."

"How was it?" asked Mary.

"It was like a date with the devil."
