" Excuse me" I said as I stood from the table and made my way to the girls bathroom, after washing my hands I turned around and stopped when Lily and Molly stood at the door. We looked at each other in silence before I spoke up " Lily you look amazing and Molly I'm so happy that your finally dating Arthur you've been waiting a long time for him to ask you out". " So your engaged?" " Yes, I know you do not approve of Tom and if I was in your shoes I would be same. He has done terrible things, but you can't help who you fall in love with". They didn't say anything and I sighed " I can tell you the truth now, of why I've been so cruel to you ladies, and to the boys" " Then tell us" I made sure nobody was in the bathroom before locking the door.

I took a deep breath and looked at my friends " Tom was forcing me to drink a potion, one he made himself. It was made to bring the cruelness out of whoever drank it. The time after potions in the bathroom Lily, it wore off, so Tom forced me to drink it again and again, until now". " Why didn't you tell us?!" Molly shouted " How could I? Tom kept me under a watchful eye and with that potion inside me I didn't want to be near you. You have no idea how much I hated it, not being able to talk to my friends or laugh, just being locked in the back of my own mind for two years" I chocked as a tear fell down my cheek. Molly and Lily wrapped their arms around me in a tight hug " But your still going to marry him?" " I love him Lily, just like you do James and Arthur" she sighed " If he tries to get in the way of our friendship again then I'm going to hex him" I laughed as I pulled them into a hug " I love you girls".

The three of us walked out of the bathroom together laughing as we caught sight of the boys. " Lily, Molly is everything alright? " Remus asked causing us to smile, " Everything is perfect again. She explained everything to us, though I am not happy about her decision to marry him, she's still my best friend". The boys looked at me for a moment before smiling " Sirius" I pulled him into a hug " I missed you so much" " Before we forgive you, you have to explain everything to us" I nodded and again said the same thing I said to Lily and Molly. " That son of a bitch!" Sirius shouted " And the effects have completely worn out?" Remus asked and I nodded " Lastnight" " We can't let you go back to him after this Odette" James spoke up. " James please, he may be cruel but I love him" " What if he hurts you again?" " Then I know I'll have my best friends by my side" I said before pulling them all into a group hug.

We walked back to the great hall together, laughing and joking just like we always did in our many years of school. We separated as I sat back down at my table " You were gone a while" Tom said " I was catching up with some friends" I said with a small smile, making Tom glare at my friends. " I told you before you don't need them" " I'll saw this once, they are my friends Tom. I've had to spend the last two years with yours so like it or not, they're staying in my life". The sound of a tapping on glass made everyone turn their attention to Headmaster Dippit " I'm sure we can all agree that it was once again a magnificent meal. Now it is a ball after all so I'd like to call upon Mr. Tom Riddle and Ms. Odette Evans to be the first to dance on this evening".

Tom stood up and took my hand, walking me to the dance floor and bowing. He placed his hand on my waist while holding my hand in us and began to move as the music started to play, " You look beautiful tonight my dear" he said causing me to blush. " Thank you Tom" " I wonder if this is what it will be like on our wedding day. Us dancing alone while everyone in the room stares" " Who knows? We'll have to wait to find out" I smirked at him. He put both his hands on my waist and picked me up, spinning before putting me back down again " I'm curious to see what you'd be like as a father" " A father? Why?" " I'm just curious, if we had a daughter if you'd allow her to grow and date" I said as he dipped me " No daughter of mine will be near boys at any age. I refuse to have any heirs of mine in a similar situation to mine".

More people started dancing around us, taking all of the attention off of myself and Tom. " If that happened to any grandchild or child of mine, I'd gladly raise or help them". " What has you talking about children in the first place?" He asked raising an eyebrow at me " Curious to see how I am in bed?" He asked making me laugh " No Tom, it's just getting married is a big step for couples, and the step after that is usually children" " That my dear, won't be for a while" he said as a clear ending of the conversation. After the dance finished my shoulder was tapped, both Tom and I turned to see Sirius " Can I have this dance?" " Of course" I said quickly before Tom could process.

Sirius and I moved into the floor and started to dance, " What were you talking about? I don't think I've seen Riddle look so confused" " We were discussing is having children". " Children? Your not even married yet" " It's what married people do Sirius" " Have you...I mean" " Have I what?" " Slept with him?". " What? No, I was raised a lady Sirius. I'm still a virgin" " Me too" he sighed " Hey I'm sure the lucky girl is close by" I smiled at him " So do I" he said before grabbing my face and smashing his lips against mine. My eyes opened wide before I pushed him away " What are you doing? We're friends, if Tom saw you do that your dead". " I don't care Odette, do you know how hard it's been? Seeing the girl you love being shown off by another guy as if she's nothing more than a trophy for him" " Sirius stop" I said taking my hands off of him. " You don't need him Odette, I can make you happy. I can take your virginity and give you good kids who would love and respect you just as much as I do" " Your being ridiculous" " Says the girls who marrying the guy who gave her potions and forced her to leave all her friends goodbye" " He's not that guy anymore" " Because your mind finally cracked. The only reason you love him is because he's locked you away for so long".

Sirius grabbed both my arms " I can be the man you love, I can give you a life time of happiness. Just give me a chance!". I tried to pull away from Sirius as Remus and James came over and pulled Sirius back. There was a big ripping noise and I held my hands over my chest as the whole top part of my dress ripped to the waist. As I had no bra on I was exposed, having only my hands to shield my chests with the torn material. " Odette I'm so sorry" Sirius said before Tom ran over and shoved Sirius back " You filthy dog, don't you know not to touch what isn't yours!" " She isn't yours! She's her own person!" " That explains why you tore her dress" " I didn't mean it" " Oh shut up hound, you've been after her for years". Lily and Molly wrapped their coats around my shoulders as they held me " Look around mutt. She doesn't love you, she chose me! She will be my wife, she will birth my children and when I lay with her she'll be the one under me" I gasped at Toms words but jumped back as Sirius shot a spell at him.

Before anything more could happen Professor Dumbledore and the headmaster stopped it. " Both of you to my office now! Lily, Professor Dumbledore can teach you a spell to fix Odette's dress. Molly bring her to the closest classroom and stay with her. My apologies Mr and Mrs. Evans, I assure you nothing like this has happened before and it will be dealt with" " Good, I want that Black boy punished!" Father shouted after him. Why did Sirius and Tom always have to fight, they ruined my graduation.
