Young and Hopeless
Chapter 5
'Anywhere but Here'

A/N: Remember why my last chapter was late. Yeah because I got 7 stitches. I umm was running and tripped over someone and flew into the bleachers. I cut the muscle membrane and al lot of nerve endings. Now I can't feel anything on my cut. If I grossed you out I am sorry. Now read and enjoy!

***************

Previous chapter: They left leaving the rest of the day up to making them feel better. They were proved wrong. Hopefully tomorrow would be better.

************************************************************************

Riddle and Ruby woke up feeling very frustrated and low. It was a Saturday and Riddle, Lucius and Ruby had finished their homework over the week so they were free. Ruby went back to reading her 'beloved' book and Riddle decided to write a letter to his uncle.

Dear Grindlewald,
Hogwarts sucks. Right now Lucius, Ruby and I all want to just get away. We can't do anything without getting into trouble and we are bored out of our minds. Dumbleface pretty much grounded us. Ruby is reading her stupid book Lucius is sleeping and I of course am writing this letter to you. Man I can't wait until our next trip to Hogsmeade. Right now I would gladly be anywhere but here. Heck I actually prefer your town over this jail cell.

Save me!

Lots of Hate,
T. M. Riddle

*********************************

"Spare me please I beg you! I'll do anything! Anything!" Lucius yelled along with his kicking. He rolled off of the couch and landed on the floor with a thud. Surprisingly he didn't wake up.

"Damn he's a heavy sleeper," Riddle said raising an eyebrow "Tell me about it," Ruby mumbled

"Huh? What happened?" Lucius said rubbing his head. Why does my head hurt? Riddle what did you do?"

Now Riddle and Ruby were laughing hysterically.

"Nothing just look down," Riddle said

He did. "Oh,"

"Now why don't you just go back to sleep?" Ruby said trying to find her place. "With both of you awake I will never finish."

"No!" Lucius said stubbornly. "You're not my mommy."

"Hey Riddle whatcha writin' there?" a boy said in a baby mock voice.

"A letter to my uncle Grindlewald," Riddle said coolly. "I am done now though. I'm just getting ready to send it."

"Oh your uncle Grindlewald I thought it was your mommy. Oh wait you don't have one do you. Then I thought it was your daddy. But wait he couldn't give a damn." Draibe said

He really ticked Riddle now. "Hey Draibe tell your mommy she was good last night. And thanks again." Riddle smiled

"Ugh. Riddle you just wait. I will get you and then you will be sorry."

"Me be sorry no, no, no you naughty boy. How dare you threaten me."

Draibe walked out of the common room a look of complete hatred upon his face.

Riddle and Lucius laughed.

"Rid, cool it," Ruby said just as she saw a prefect coming.

"Huh?"

Ruby nodded in the direction in which the prefect was.

The prefect passed and Lucius' stomach rumbled.

"Lets go eat. I am gonna keel over soon." Lucius said starring at his stomach

"Sounds good lets go!" Ruby said

"You guys go ahead I'll catch up," Riddle said. "I have to send this letter."

"Okay," Ruby said. And the two of them left.

Riddle ran up to the owlery and found Ruby's owl Rachel. He tied the letter and whispered in her ear of where to take it. Then he ran downstairs to the great hall to meet Ruby and Lucius.

They had been stuck up in the common room all day with no food or drinks. So they were very hungry. Riddle was scarfing down his food like there was no tomorrow.

"Take it easy there," Ruby said laughing at his unmannerism.

"Hey where's Lu?"

Ruby pointed. Lucius was actually on the table and he was eating everything in sight.

"Da-a-ang, he wasn't kidding when he said he was hungry." Riddle said laughing but now confused. "I thought rich people were supposed to be well mannered."

"Mope Mot Me," Lucius said food flying everywhere.

"Lucius!" Ruby exclaimed. There was half chewed food all over her.

"Riddle what are you doing?" Ruby asked Riddle was climbing onto the Slytherin table.

"Here I come Lu!"

"Ri-Riddle!"

"Oh come on Rub, lighten up a bit would ya!"

"Okay," she smiled and she threw a big handful of mashed potatoes at him.

"FOOD FIGHT!" Lucius yelled

The fight went on for about 5 minutes.

"STOP!" Professor Dippet yelled and everyone froze. "Tom, Kimberly, Lucius, My office now!"

(In his office) "I am very disappointed with you. I don't know what to say. The two smartest kids in the school and you (pointing at Lucius). I just don't know what to say. Well your punishment is Detention for a month!" said trying not to lose his temper. "Return to your dorms."

(In the common room) "Man this bites!" Riddle said

"Hey at least we had fun," Ruby said

"This is coming from little miss perfect," Lucius said with wide eyes.

"What time is it?" Riddle asked

"Midnight," Ruby said looking at her watch

"I wish we could just leave," Lucius said

Everyone was up in their dorms now sleeping.

"Yeah me too," Riddle and Ruby said in sync.

"You really want to go, get away from here and never come back?" asked a voice. A shadowy figure stood in the darkest corner of the common room. The one that never received light when the fire was the only light source.

"Ye-ah," They replied in unison looking at each other confusedly.

"You're sure?" the voice said once more

"Yeah," they replied in unison again

"Very well," The voice sighed

All of the sudden they started to feel drowsy and after about 2 minutes they all blacked out.
