"The Serpent's Teeth"
(A Tom Riddle love story)

16th December 1944

"Are you spending the week with us again?," Casey asks me at dinner.

"No idea, probably not, but for the most part," I say with a shrug.

When I had looked questioningly at Tom this morning in Transfiguration, he shook his head.

After Potions he told me that he won't have time for me again, but we would see each other Saturday night at Slughorn's' Christmas party.
Nevertheless, I won't spend quite as much time with my Gryffindor friends.

Bell has asked me if we can learn together for the Ancient Runes exam that is going to be held this Friday.
Just to check if we have closely followed the instructions, as Professor Westbrook said.

"What are you up to?" Asks Jacklyn, who's sitting closely next to Sasha who has been grinning stupidly all day.
He was still acting perfectly normal yesterday afternoon.

"I'm meeting up with Anna and Dorothea to learn for the Ancient Runes exam ."

"Sounds exciting," Bailee looks at me with a cheeky grin.

"I think so too," I say, nodding gravely and Tracey starts to laugh in response to Bailees perplexed facial expression.

"Just kidding, I could think of more entertaining things to do with my time," I grin at him and then climb into Tracey's a laughter.
