The 5 Drabbles Competition. Crack pairing: Tom Riddle/Rita Skeeter. Prompt: rock
New Again
Rita hardly ever went home these days. It was hard to believe her life had changed so drastically in just three weeks. She'd gone from waiting tables to being waited on in the most expensive restaurants in the country.
Tom was her world now. He was smart and rebellious. He'd spend the days telling her all about his travels, and at night he would take her out to fancy parties Rita would never get into on her own. She wanted to travel the world with him – elope and forget all about her dead-end job and unsupportive family.
One day they took a walk on the beach and he told her that he was going away for a while, and she should join him.
Rita watched the way the waves washed all the sand off a pile of rocks, and she thought of how she was a rock and Tom was her wave, making her new again.
