Summary: Tom Riddle becomes friends with a pureblood girl who hates
Hogwarts. Katie doesn't understand why she has to give up her dream of
being a prima ballerina to be a witch. It's another reason he hates
muggles, they stole his true love.
Disclaimer: I am the girl in the story and all her experiences are mine (Not falling in love with a dark lord part obviously, but the dancing part), but Hogwarts and all Harry Potter Characters belong to J.K. Rowling, Warner Brothers, Scholastic Books, AOL Time Warner, and a lot of other people who are not me.
Dancing with Darkness
Chapter 3
The first day of classes went by smoothly, I perceived that I would do excellent in all my classes, none being overly difficult or draining. The only class that seemed somewhat difficult was Transfiguration taught by Professor Dumbledore. There was something about this man I did not like. His intense pride and love oh Hogwarts was offensive to me. He must have sensed I my arrogance and assigned me extra homework as punishment. She really wanted to be practicing her ballet, but homework seemed more pressing. So I sat in the Slytherin Common Room pouring over my class notes and the essay I had barely started. Next, someone tapped on my shoulder and I was astounded to see Tom Riddle standing beside my table.
"Need some help?" he asked seating himself beside me. I quickly glanced around the room for my brother and his friends, but none of them were present. "Looking for someone else?" he asked icily.
"My brother and his friends," I replied cooly. "They do not think I should be socializing with you."
"You mean with someone who is not your fiancee," Tom quipped. I felt stupid for thinking I could hide our friendship, without Tom knowing. "Listen just let me help, if they come along you can just tell them the truth."
"I suppose," I said reluctantly not useed to asking or receiving help from anyone. I had always naturally been the best at everything. "Dumbledore gave me this essay-"
"I can not stand that old man," Tom stated cutting me off. I was a little angry, I hated being silenced and interrupted. "He hates all the Slytherins, thnks we're untrustworthy for some reason." I just nodded having only met him once, and knowing the reputation of the Slytherins probably deserved it. "He's always trying to convert us into good little Gryffindors. No luck though, Slytherins are like zebras."
"Zebras?" I askeed laughing at the odd analogy.
"Yeah, we can not change our stripes," he replied laughing. Then, Tom began tickling me.
"STOP!" I screamed laughing. "SOMEONE HELP ME!" I yelled not being able to control myself. Suddenly three figures came rushing down the stairs. My brother, Lachlan, Neil Rookwood, and Cassius Malfoy. In a flash, Lachlan had pulled Tom off of me and began punching him as Neil held his arms behind his back. Cassius had scooped me up in his arms and was holding me like a child, no doubt what he thought a tender gesture. "NO, LACHLAN STOP!" I said trying to make myself heard. Cassius tried to brush my hair out of my face, but only managed to drop me. I scrambled up and ran over to my brother and grabbed his. He noticed me and grabbed me tight.
"Deny everything Tom says," he whispered. He looked scared and I worried about the implications of my actions. The Ollivander name was no more powerful than Weasley in the Slytherin House, names like Malfoy dominated the power.
"What did you do to her?" Cassius demanded looking at Tom as though he were filth, I blanched at his tone. He seemed so cruel at that moment, I had forgotten that my life was bound to his, framkly I was scared.
"I was merely trying to help her with homework," he answered gesturing at the parchment and quill. Tom knew he was outnumbered and that he had no friends to call upon for help.
"Then tell me why was my sister screaming," Lachlan asked in a tone that matched Cassius.' He did not sound like he brother I had grown up with, the one I loved. Tom gave no answer. I felt the gentle nudge my brother gave me and going against all my morals I sashayed over to where Cassius stood.
"You wouldn't let him hurt me, would you?" I asked looking into his hate filled eyes with my blue ones. I knew immediately I held power over this boy, he would obey my every whim. "I was so scared." The words had hardly left my mouth when Cassius motioned for Neil and my brother to beating him. I turned away, disguisted with myself. Cassius began pulling me out of the Common Room and into the corridor. He dragged me down the hall, obviously heading towards the lake.
"I hope you are safe now, Katie," he said sending shivers up my spine. "I promise you, that Tom Riddle will not be bothering you again." I smiled at him, but inside I felt terrible I had betrayed my only true friend at Hogwarts. I sighed as I thought of the pain my own brother was now administering. "At first I did not believe it when your brother said you were willing to marry me, I thought I was going to have to hurt him for lying." My mind snapped into alertness, he was planning on hurting Lachlan. "You see, there were many girls, but a Malfoy always gets what he wants. I thought that after yesterday on the train you were unwilling, I was stupid to think that you had feelings for that half-blood abomination. I thought your brother was going to cancel the bargain." Suddenly, I felt ill, I had not known there was a bargain, much less one that involved my brother. I knew I was going to have to continue this charade, the Malfoys were a deadly enemy. So, I swallowed my pride and leaned against the older boy.
"I had been so scared," I said softly. "I thought no one was going to save me." I saw his expression soften as he looked at me, I remembered the effect I had on him in the Common Room, I swore I would never allow him to hurt my family. After all, all I need do is smile at him.
A/N: Yeah, so Katie is really stuck now. She has no friends, Cassius believes she likes him, and if she doesn't keep it up her brother will pay the price. I know it seems there is less talk of dance, but there will be more later. Remember she still has her dreams even if they seem impossible to everyone else, but her.
