After that things changed. A few days went on, but Winter and Tom really didn't talk much about the incident. In fact the avoided it altogether. When Luisza asked about the ride they just said that they had had a fun time just talking. Winter hated lying to her, but she couldn't tell her the truth. Winter really didn't know what had happened herself, so how could she explain it to Luisza? Luisza probably wouldn't believe it, because of the way Tom acted and they way he was.
Tom was cruel to others, but was soft on Winter. She really didn't know why either. Maybe it was their first meeting, maybe it was when he saved her life, and maybe it was when they went to Hogsmeade. Who knew? Tom didn't care for others either. He was this secluded person who only ever hung out with Winter and sometimes Luisza. That's the way he liked it, though.
Tom sat in his room Friday afternoon, and had just finished his Potions homework when he heard a knock on his door. He got off of his Slytherin blanket and proceeded to the door. He opened it and saw Winter.
"Hey" He said.
She said a quick "Hi" and barged in. "We have to talk."
"I'd figure you'd come around." He said. "Look, it was just an urge. I did it on impulse. It didn't mean anything." Tom was lying and so couldn't look at Winter.
"Um, Yeah. Ok. Well, I have to go."
Tom looked up and saw her face. She looked hurt, but tried not to show it. She smiled at him and slipped through the door. Tom sat back on his bed in frustration. He did really like her, or what he thought to be a crush. He couldn't tell her though. To have feelings is to be weak, and one thing Tom Riddle wasn't was weak.
Winter closed the door to Tom's room and wiped the falling tears from her cheek and slowly walked to her room. She saw Luisza who stopped her.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"Nothing" Winter replied.
"Please… I know you better then that Winter Parks." Luisza replied sternly.
Luisza and Winter walked into their dorm and Winter told her about the train ride and the conversation she had just had with Tom. Luisza couldn't believe that cold ole Tom Riddle kissed Winter, but she believed Winter and knew she wouldn't lie. So Winter and Luisza stayed the night talking about guys and their troubles.
