Hi guys! C.McPherson is a Slytherin/Gryffindor like me, and whedonist19 is a Ravenclaw. Thanks to you to for reviewing. Question for next week – What character from Harry Potter, it can be anyone, would you most like to go out with? I'll come up with a better one for next week.
This chapter works a little differently. This is the story about Voldemort and Holly's mother, how they met and how they fell in love. Enjoy – it starts when Voldy is a sixth year at Hogwarts He is a prefect.
By the way, Roselyn is awesome!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Around 35 years ago – Roslyn Ellie Becker
"Miss Becker and Mr. Riddle, you two shall be potions partners for the rest of the year." The professor said, pointing to a spot in the front. Tom watched as a beautiful girl with blonde hair and violet eyes same forward and sat down reluctantly. Tom smiled at her.
"Don't worry; sitting in the front isn't that bad. I'm Tom, by the way, Tom Riddle."
The girl turned to glare at him. "I don't really care. From what I've heard, you're an evil idiot. You're a bully. I don't care about sitting in the front, Riddle. I don't want to sit be you." She wrinkled her nose in disgust.
"Now, now, Roselyn. You shouldn't be arguing with one as bright as Tom. He'll be the next Minister of Magic, I tell you, and I've never been wrong!" Slughorn announced proudly. Roselyn turned to glare at him.
Tom immediately turned his attention back to the front of the room and started putting his potion together. Roselyn watched him for a while before asking, "Are you going to let me do anything?"
He turned to smirk at her. "Nope."
Surprisingly, she didn't yell at him. She tore a strip of parchment out of her notes and wrote on it. Tom frowned at it as she passed it back to her Mudblood friend, Myrtle Hawkins. Tom shrugged and turned back to work on the potion.
Tom hated Myrtle. She always took away the attention that he got from the teachers with her moping and moaning. Her only friend was Roselyn, and they didn't get along all the time. She was too moody for her own good. In fact, as soon as Riddle managed to get the Chamber open, she'd be the first to die.
Roselyn started to giggle. Tom raised his eyebrows, but she chose to ignore him. He frowned at her. "Hey Becker. Quiet down. Some people are trying to work!" She merely shrugged and wrote a response back to Myrtle. "It counts for your grade, Becker! Do you want a good job?"
Roselyn glared at him again. "Some people are actually wealthy and have a good family name, Riddle. I don't need a good job."
"You want one though."
Roselyn glared fiercely. "How would you know so much about me, Riddle? I don't think that I told you all of this!"
Tom shrugged. "I guessed, and well, I like you."
She laughed at him. Tom shrugged it off. She would see someday.
Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months, months turned into years. Tom managed to kill Myrtle, leaving Roselyn very alone. It was then that she finally agreed to date him. Tom was pleased, but it was too late. He left to start making Horcruxes the next day.
Tom did evil things, changing his name to Voldemort so that Roselyn wouldn't know. He changed his appearance. After nearly twenty years apart, Tom went to Hogwarts for to apply for a job. He wasn't aware that Roselyn had been teaching there all those years. He found her, teaching Charms to young Slytherin and Ravenclaw students, and it reminded him of him and her. The Slytherin and the Ravenclaw who, in his opinion, should have been a Slytherin.
They were in love again. Roselyn left to live with Tom. She still didn't know who he really was. He was only Lord Voldemort at night. During daytime, he was Tom again, plain old Tom Riddle.
Roselyn got pregnant with Tom's child. He was pleased; someone of his blood would make a strong ally, but he was disappointed when Roselyn died in childbirth. He sent his unnamed daughter to live with the Blacks. They were a noble family who would turn little Hollatrix into a full-blood Slytherin.
Tom's heart hurt so much from losing Roselyn. He made more Horcruxes to help his heart. He became a person who people feared; he became Lord Voldemort.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Holly, a little blindly, put down the diary her mother had written. She rubbed her head, looking at it with a puzzled expression on her face. There was a knock on her door. She ignored it, not hearing it. She was deep into her thoughts when the door burst open. Holly slowly turned to stare at her father.
"Roselyn." She said gently, recognizing the pain in Tom's eyes for the first time. So he was human. That alone caused Holly to forgive him for forcing her to make the Unbreakable Vow. It wasn't enough for the deaths of all who he had killed though. Holly would never be able to forgive him that.
"How do you know that name?" He hissed. Holly flinched as his eyes narrowed and turned blood-red. He grinned again, eyes still red, and Holly forgot that she had forgiven him.
"What do you need, Riddle?" She asked.
He pulled his wand out, eyes flashing. "Crucio!" He hissed. Holly held back her scream and fell to the floor. Voldemort just laughed.
Below, Sirius and Remus heard her screams. They both started shaking, Sirius in rage, and Remus in fear for his friend. Sirius turned to Remus and muttered, "We need help."
Remus nodded his agreement. They needed help.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"That's it!" Hermione announced to Lily, James, Alice Cooper, and Frank Longbottom. "I've had it! I will not sit here any longer while wondering if my friends are dead or being tortured! I'm going to help them!"
James sighed deeply. "You heard what Holly said, Hermione." She had only recently told them who she really was. "She doesn't want our help. All she said was to kill her if we ever meet her in battle."
Hermione sent him a glare so fierce that she might have been Holly. James winced and pulled Lily closer to him. Hermione's gaze softened. "I will not watch anymore people die, especially not her. She's never had a good life. She deserves to have one now."
Lily stood up, looking just as fierce as Hermione had a minute ago. "I agree. Holly has always sacrificed herself for the good of another. We're going to go save her! Let's go!"
Lily walked over to stand next to Hermione. After a secong, Frank Longbottom also stood up and went over to stand by them. He smiled.
"Holly was always nice to me, and she helped me conquer my fear and ask Alice out. Without her, I don't think we'd be a couple, Alice." He smiled at her. "Besides, Hogwarts isn't Hogwarts without her and the Marauders."
Alice chuckled and stood up gracefully, placing her hand in Frank's. She nodded to the beaming Hermione and Lily before turning back to James. "Come on, James. We will leave you here if you don't come."
James jumped up right away. Hermione ran to him, hugging him tightly around the neck. She stepped aside for Lily and him to kiss fiercely, maybe the last kiss they would share at Hogwarts. Hermione quickly shoved that to the back of her mind. They weren't going to die just yet!
Before they left the common room, Lily turned to Hermione and James. "Sev's going with us. He'll be a great help, and he deserves to help Holly. He loves her as a sibling. She was his first friend here, besides me."
Hermione beamed and hugged her friend. "I love you, Lily."
James squeezed his way in between the two friends, putting an arm around each of them. He turned to Hermione and frowned. "That's for me to say." Hermione laughed and put her head on his shoulder, Lily doing the same.
Alice and Frank noticed them hugging. "Group hug?" Alice asked before hugging Hermione. Frank went over to hug Lily. They all started to laugh.
It may be the last time they laugh together. Hermione realized as they walked out of the common room, arm in arm.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
