Proceeding with ease in his steps, Tom nervously stepped toward the group of girls that had Serena surrounded with gossip and tales about the different boys that they had in their class just minutes before lunch started. But being the kind person that she was, Serena stopped them from saying anything more. She hated to laugh at people and knew it wasn't fun when people poked fun at her.
So knowing this, Tom Riddle had the courage to face Serena amongst all her friends. He gulped as Luke and Mike stood by the side lines watching him walk toward the large group. As though the girls had boy sensors placed in their bodies, the girls began to look around wildly and saw him walking nervously toward them.
The girls all stopped talking and Serena and her friends watched with interest as he boldly stopped in front of Serena herself. Tom, without warning, took the young girl's hand and walked away with her, getting odd looks from her friends.
"Tom?" Just hearing Serena say his name brought an angel to his mind. He stopped only when he knew they were away from their gossiping friends.
Tom Riddle let go of Serena's delicate hand and looked her in the eyes. They were like shining sapphires that glistened in the sun's rays. Tom cleared his throat and prepared himself for the inevitable. He was going to do this properly and leave her stunned with amazement. Today he was going to ask her out!
"Serena, will you…um…will you go out with me?" Tom was surprised to see he did not choke in his words at all and found he could not contain his happy thoughts any longer.
"Also, Serena, will you be my wife?" The said girl blinked a few times and stared at the boy with shock.
Tom Riddle could feel a stare coming from behind but when he whipped his head around to see who it was, they were gone. Feeling the odd sensation that someone had seen him with Serena, he decided to get the conversation going; forgetting completely that he had asked the young girl to marry him.
"But, Tom. We're still in school! We can't get married so soon!" Tom began to think to himself.
'Hook, line and sunk!' Tom did a little happy dance in his mind as he took hold of Serena's hands once again.
"I, Tom Riddle, promise to keep you happy in all our years to come! Please marry me, Serena Snape." Getting on one knee and even using his wand to retrieve a small ring from thin air, Tom glanced at the queen-like being that towered over him like a tall goddess.
"Tom!" Serena was astounded at the ring that floated in front of her face. It was made out of a real diamond and it glittered under the bright sunlight.
All Tom could do from this point on was smile as the young girl took the ring out of the air and held it on her hand; her cheeks grew bright red as she stared at it in fascination and awe. Serena looked to be on the brink of tears but Tom came handy for if the time should come that his beauty of the school should ever need a handkerchief, he would have one ready for her. He took the red and white piece of cloth out of his pocket and as natural cliché movies usually acted out their parts, Tom was hoping for this moment and dried Serena's tears with the cloth.
"Serena!" Tom and Serena both snapped out of their wonderful moment and looked to their dismay at the man who was glaring at them from the castle's side exit.
If only Tom had been a little faster in telling Serena his confession, the girl's father might not have come by so fast like a predator with wings. Tom let out a small sigh and tried to smile sweetly at Snape but the man was not buying it.
"I'll see you later, Tom!" Serena called out and just like that, Serena and her father, Severus, took off down the hall.
'Don't worry Serena, I'll show your father next time...' Tom Riddle thought as he smiled to himself and walked the opposite direction.
A/n: Woohoo! I wonder what young Tom has in store for the older man! Just have to find out next time!
