He used to sit behind me in potions. He was the only boy who wasn't chasing after me, and I hated that. But when the Yule ball came around, everything changed, I flirted with him for 2 weeks straight, but he still didn't get the hint. So I got up the courage to turn around and ask him "Tom, will you go to the Yule Ball with me?"
His simple reply was a nod. He was a curious boy. I was on top of the world. I was technically going out with Tom Marvolo Riddle; all the other girls were green with envy.
My friend Bella, I'm sure you all know who that is, didn't have a date so she helped me get ready. I wore a scarlet dress with ruffles and I had my hair in a messy up do.
I walked down the staircase into the Great Hall, and there was Tom smiling mysteriously from the bottom of the staircase. So typical of him. Bella reached her foot out and tripped me, I tumbled down the stairs.
"Ha! Thats what you get BETRAYER!" she bellowed at me as I tumbled helplessly down the staircase.
When I finally reached the bottom of the seemingly endless staircase, I, Rose Jocelyn, cried. Tom slowly sat down next to me.
"Dont worry about her, shes just jealous because you are everything she ever wanted to be." He said.
He reached out a pale hand and helped me up. The first song started to play and he wrapped his hand around my waist and we slow danced. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Bella at the top of the stairs. She pulled out her wand.
"Avada Kedavra!" She said as she pointed her wand at me.
I grabbed Tom and we ran. Unfortunately for us, she was on our trail. We dodged another killing curse and ran into a Beauxbaton carraige.
