Aiyee! I haven't updated for SO long! I've been busy writing my main story, one that I want to keep secret. Which reminds me- I have a special note for Gardevoir-Mage. Listen- I'll bring the floppy to school SOON. Sorry about the forgetting. Mum thinks that I shouldn't show the story to anyone. For all those people out there who think this is weird, don't worry. Ahura Mazda- I'll probably send an extract to you in your e-mail. The one you login with for FanFic. Check in the next few days or so. Please read it, and e-mail me back. Yes, I know I've got a funny e-mail address. It's 'cos my own one is full of crap, (because I signed up for a Neopets thingo ages ago, and now people keep sending me things like 1,000,000 NEOPOINTS IN FIVE MINUTES! NEOPETS GENERATOR. JUST TYPE IN YOUR USERNAME AND PASSWORD!) so I went and used my little bro's. He doesn't care, 'cos no one e-mails him, only stupid salespeople. And wow, am I surprised at all my reviews. I mean- Voldy (or Mouldy-shorts as my friend Sierra likes to call him. I'll explain later) didn't exist in James and Sirius' time. I can't believe no one actually bugged me about that. Or is this completely normal? I don't know. And another mistake I found- Emily/Hermione is the Head Girl. She should be stopping people sneaking out at night, not breaking the rules herself. Hehe. Right, I'm feeling really hyper 'cos I was eating this new kind of sauce at dinner, and I might be, I don't know, allergic to it. It makes me ultra-hyper maybe. Just like how Sierra gets when someone gives her red lollies.
Hermione met Tom the next night, and he immediately suggested to go for a walk in the grounds. She agreed, and they spent the next minute walking around silently. Tom tried to find something to say. "Um…how are your classes?"
"Fine."
This continued for a while until Tom gave up trying to talk. They walked slowly under an old oak tree, and Tom leaned against the trunk. "Do you want to climb the tree?"
"What? Oh. Yes, that seems quite fun." It actually was fun, and Tom helped Hermione up the first bit. When their hands touched, Hermione felt a tremor run through her body. This guy is going to become the most feared wizard in ten years or so. I can't believe I'm actually doing this.
They sat in the tree's upmost branches, and Tom said quietly, "Do you like me Emily?"
"I like you."
"As a person? A friend?"
"Oh. I like you as a friend, I suppose."
"Ah." Tom drew closer. "But have you noticed that I am a boy, you are a girl, and we are as you call friends."
"I've noticed," Hermione said uneasily.
Tom leaned closer…Hermione pushed him away. "No."
"Why not?"
"Because- I mean- I can't be ready for this!"
"You are."
"I'm not!"
"Well, I think you are."
"Just shut up Tom Riddle!"
At the mention of his name, Tom softened. "Don't call me that."
"I'll call you by your name- Tom Marvolo Riddle!"
"Shut up! What is it with you?"
"I don't know! Just let me think!"
"You've had plenty of time to think," Tom retorted.
"Oh, excuse me, Mr I-think-I-know-everything-Emily-needs! But you still don't know me very well!"
"I know enough to know you're a Mudblood."
Hermione gasped in anger. "You take that back!"
"No!"
"Shut UP!" she yelled, raising her hand. Tom didn't notice. Her palm came down, slapping him hard on the left cheek. There were pink spots in Hermione's cheeks, and she was slipping through the oak's branches.
Sorry about the short chapter. As I told you earlier, I'm really into writing another story. Whoopee-doo.
Ahura Mazda- Thanks ever so much for reviewing! I'm going to read the new Ravyn stories right after I finish this. You can have a chocolate chip cookie with lots of chocolate cream on top!
Gardevoir-Mages- Hello! Thanks for reviewing yet again! You can all have a can of Coke to make you even more hyper.
TooSweet4Words- Hiya NESSEH BUGGEH. No, I won't stop calling you that, but I'm getting into the habit of calling you Nessa way too much. You can have a cream pie, which I will throw into your face.
.Nyome.- Sierra! You sly old fox! Update Noughts and Crosses, I am totally dying to read the next chappie! You can have fairy floss!
Okay people. Just remember- the more reviews I get, the faster I update! (And the longer the chapters get). Again, I apologise for the short chapter.
