Minerva McGonagall had received the honour of Head Girl her seventh year. The only problem was the Head Boy Tom Riddle. He was from her rival house but she couldn't help but find him attractive although she would never admit that to anyone but herself.

"McGonagall," he greeted, his dark eyes surveying her every move as she walked into the Head's room.

"Riddle."

"There's a Hogsmeade weekend coming up isn't there?" Tom asked.

Minerva nodded.

"Would you be my date?"

She thought for a moment and said. "I suppose."

It was now time for the date between Minerva and Tom. They walked towards Honeydukes and perused the shop for about an hour then went to The Three Broomsticks for some butterbeer. After the trip, they walked back to their Quarters.

"Thanks for this, McGonagall," Tom said.

"You're welcome."

After that date, they dated for a few months.

Years later, Tom had become the Dark Lord and Minerva was heartbroken.
