That's what happened:
"Oh, I will take care of her." Tom said surprising himself. What was the matter with him? It was usually HIM who bullied others, it was usually him that was not interested in anyone else or in their well-being. Why was he going soft now? Why was that girl always in the back of his mind?
Abraxas and Luis were surprised as well. They looked at Tom strangely.
"Don't look at me like that. I've got my reasons." Tom snapped.
However, he was not so sure about that. What were his real intentions?
On with the story…
"Are.pletely.Out.Of.Your.Mind?" Andrej hissed enraged. He had pulled Evgenia on her sleeve to a secluded cupboard, as not to be overheard. "I'm really sorry…" Evgenia said in a small voice looking onto the floor.
"I can't believe. You almost blew our cover! Our father gave us these names, so as not to be recognized. I am just so glad that he doesn't suspect us, being friends with Grindelwald. Well, everyone knows now that you are the famous topmodel. Great. Now no guy can keep his hands off you. Great, just great. Especially not Riddle." he growled.
"Why do you keep mentioning TOM? He hasn't done anything to me…" Evgenia rolled her eyes.
"Well not yet. Nasya, you are my sister. You are very important to me. I don't like Riddle. I don't like him at all…" her brother said darkly, shaking her.
"But why not? You don't know him…" Evgenia said shrilly.
"Look. I hear rumors… just don't get too involved with him, ok?" Andrej said.
"Okay." Evgenia said tonelessly.

Herbology.
The Slytherins and the Hufflepuffs. Or at least, those had taken the subject for the NEWT-level.
Olive was sitting next to a hard-faced Slytherin-girl called Sandy. They were both whispering about someone, since they were both being bored out of their mind.
"Shut up." Tom hissed. The constant whispering was driving him insane.
"Oh come on, Tom, darling." Olive cooed.
"I repeat. Shut up." Tom said through gritted teeth.
"She is so shy."
"But even more stupid if you ask me."
"Or just a common MUDBLOOD."
"And so ugly. She probably never showers."
"And those glasses… just hideous… doesn't she CARE what other people thing?"
Olive and Sandy turned around sniggering, watching Myrtle from Hufflepuff. No matter what she did, the two Slytherin-girls absolutely hated her. Tom didn't like her that much, but he never insulted her… those two were just complete bitches.
"Well whatever…" Olive giggled loudly and pulled out a magazine from under her desk. "Let's look what's new." she said, opening the magazine.
Sandy suddenly let out a loud gasp. Not a second later, Olive's gasp followed.
"What's the matter NOW?" Tom turned around, enraged, his face a furious mask. If someone had looked closer, they would have noticed that his eyes had gone red for a second. "Can't you two just shut up?" he asked, beside himself with fury.
Wordlessly, Sandy shoved the magazine towards him.
With a short look at the teacher who seemed to be absorbed into mandrakes, he took the magazine. Make-up-tips? What was he supposed to do with that?
Shaking his head, he wanted to return the magazine to the two Slytherin-girls, when his gaze fell onto the beauty, representing the products. His mouth hang open and he almost also let out a gasp. It was HER. Evgenia (or rather Anastacia). A beauty.
She was wearing glittery black eye-shadow and other make-ups that Tom couldn't really name. Her hair was long and straight, framing her beautiful face. And her earrings… they stood out perfectly. She looked like an angel. She looked like his dreamwoman.
Smiling contently, he handed them back the magazine. He would take care of her, yes…. No one dared hurt her… He wouldn't let anyone hurt her… Tom was sure of that…

Evgenia was sitting next to Eileen at the breakfast table, not interested in her porridge. She watched as the gooey substance dropped from her spoon into the bowl. She distinctly noticed Eileen who was talking animatedly to Abraxas about something that didn't particularly interest her.
"Hey, girl…. there is a letter for you." Alphard who was sitting in front of her, waved an official looking letter in front of her face.
"Oh, I didn't see the owl…" Evgenia said smiling slightly.
"Tired much… here have some more coffee." he smirked and refilled her cup.
Evgenia smiled gratefully. "Thanks, Alphard."
"So, why were you up so late or what?" he grinned mischievously.
"Well, you were there too, don't play dumb…" she grinned as well.
Yesterday evening, Alphard, Cygnus, Abraxas, Eileen and she had stayed in the Slytherin common room, playing games and laughing. Abraxas had also sneaked firewhiskey in and it was 2 o clock when they finally climbed into bed, exhausted.
Evgenia didn't know why, but she missed somebody. She still couldn't quite place who that person was.
Her gaze fell on a handsome young man, with black hair and a sexy grin. Tom Riddle. He was talking to Luis, smiling in a satisfied way. What were they talking about??
"Well go on and open the letter. It looks very official. I wasn't keeping it safe for you for nothing." Alphard told her.
Evgenia shrugged and took a knife to open the letter she was holding.
"I wouldn't use a knife. Too dangerous for a young girl like you." a dark voice said.
Evgenia turned around.
"Tom Riddle." she said emotionlessly.
"Or rather handsome, stunning and intelligent." Tom smirked back.
Evgenia smiled back. Tom took that as an invitation to sit down next to her, while Eileen eyed him warily. "Look, you can open it like that."
"Envelope revelis." he said pointing the wand at her letter. The letter opened immediately, perfectly. Evgenia gasped.
"I have to remember that one… thanks Tom." she smiled her dazzling smile at him. Tom got lost in her eyes.
He didn't know why, but he had the crazy urge to kiss her right here and there. He had never felt that way before. Little did he know that Evgenia felt the same…
Sighing, he got up. "You owe me."
"What do I owe you then?" Evgenia smiled mischievously.
"Hmm, I'll think about something."
"Or I propose something."
"Or you do that…. what WOULD you propose?"
"Maybe a late-night drink in the kitchens?" Evgenia looked at him suggestively, a flirtly little smile on her lips.
"Hmm, I wouldn't say no to that. See you later then."
"See you Tom."
Tom walked away, but he couldn't get farther than 3 steps.
"Oh and by the way, Evgenia…"
"Yes?"
"It's a date."
Tom Riddle couldn't believe it. Evgenia was a REAL FLIRT. He didn't think about her like that…. Wow, that girl was full of surprises. He was so happy that he was skipping. Wait. The Dark Lord, SKIPPING? What had gotten into him? Why was he so delighted?
TRTRTR
Evgenia had a huge smile on her face when she opened the envelope.
'Oh, it's from the model agency. I wonder what they are writing.' Evgenia thought, opening up the folded letter.
Dear Anastacia,
we would like to inform you that we have now transferred the sum of 12.000,00 EUR to your Bulgarian bank account for the commercial shooting of July and the commercial tv-spot in July/August.
Furthermore, we would like to offer you another shooting. It's for Witch's Weekly teeth-whitening toothpaste spot or print. Since you now live in England, it would be a good opportunity.
Please inform us, if you have time and would be interested.
Best regards
Malina Kamarova
Model scout
Evgenia smiled happily. Everything was going perfectly. She was now able to buy her grandmother the little garden house next to their house. They finally had their grandparents near her. That would be a happy surprise for everyone.
And she still had some money left to go shopping in either Paris or Milan. She was looking forward to that.
"Eileen do you have a quill with you?" she asked the heavily flirting girl.
"Yes, sure. A moment, please." Eileen said breathlessly, searching her bag for a quill.
"Here you are. Who is that letter from?"
"Oh, nothing special. Just from my model-agency." Evgenia said nonchalantly.
"When you are finished writing, I would like to show you a letter." Andrej said, plopping into the seat next to her at the Slytherin table…
