Tom walked numbly into the common room and into his own dorm room and fell onto his bed. His room felt unusually cold and unwelcoming, he felt as if it was not his own, as if this room was not the one he had slept in for so many years. He rolled over and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Lilly walked into the Gryfindor common room and sat on her favorite chair next to the fire. Starring into the fire was a wonderful way for her to relax.

Lilly looked up at the clock and groaned; it was almost time. "5, 4, 3, 2, 1" just then three of the Marauders came charging into the common room laughing and being as rowdy as ever.

Lilly stood up from her chair and the three boys were immediately silent. "Have you no consideration for others?" she hissed, "look at the time! It is way passed time for you to be noisy and annoying!"

Remus smirked. "Come one Lill's just a little bit of fun! If you want to you can join in!" he said playfully.

Lilly had always fancied Remus ever since her first year; she just adored the way his mousy brown hair fell boyishly into his light blue eyes. Sirius smirked next to him.

"You can even join me tonight" Sirius remarked saucily. Lilly frowned. Sirius was a very attractive 17 year old that always got the girls, especially in bed.

His longish black hair seemed to clasp onto the back of his neck and it curled slightly making it irresistible to the girls who liked to touch. His sparkling hazel eyes were also an asset to his gorgeous features.

"You are disgusting Sirius!" she said pulling a revolted look over her face. Just then, a chubby short boy fell into the common room. The boy quickly stood to reveal light brown hair and blue eyes.

"Lilly" he said nodding to her shyly.

"Peter, I can't believe you hang out with these, these... little boys!" The other three boys gasped in mock horror.

"Lillian!" said James trying to suppress a laugh "how could you say such a thing?" Lilly pointed her finger towards the boy's dorm.

"Go!" she said sternly. All of the boys trudged up to their dorm room except for James.

"Umm, Lilly?" he asked carefully.

"What do you want Potter?" she asked harshly making James cringle slightly.

"I, I just wanted to ask you a question" he said softly. Lilly turned to him with something different in her eyes, something he had never seen before and could not describe.

"What is it?" she asked trying to maintain her voice.

"I just wanted to know why you hate me so much." Lilly sat dumbfounded, because truth be told; she did not actually know why she hated him so much.

She supposed it was because he was always so immature, but then, he was being very mature right now. Lilly's eyes saddened.

"I, I don't know James, you can just be so immature at times and you are always so mean to people! I just can't like a guy like that!"

"Would you like me better if I was nice?" James asked smiling at the pretty red head.

"I would like you better if you would just act yourself but if your personality is the one that I have witnessed all these many years then I am afraid I can not like you at all!" Lilly said frustrated, and storming up the stairs.

"Oh Lilly" he said sadly and shaking his head "you can not see the real me because you do not wish to!" Shortly after Lilly's departure, James stood and went to get ready for his head boy rounds.

The next morning Tom woke and looked around his dorm room then sighed, it was all a dream! He grinned at his stupidity and sighed again greatly relieved that he was back.

He could just picture his best friend Dennis Markham waiting outside the door and impatiently running his hand through his thick blonde locks of curls and tapping his foot.

Tom dressed quickly and grabbed his books then he stepped outside the door. "Hey there Denn...is" Dennis wasn't there.

Tom shrugged, figuring that Dennis had been so impatient that he had left with out him; it certainly would not be the first time.

Tom's thoughts immediately went to the pretty red head from his dream "Ah Lilly" he murmured to himself "to bad you're not real!" just then, he saw Lilly walk from the great hall.

"Lilly?" he yelled. Lilly turned to look at him and frowned as he walked right up to her. Her hair was in a pretty braid with a red and scarlet ribbon tied at the end. "What do you want Riddle?" she asked grumpily.

"You can't be, it was just, you're supposed to be, this was just, I thought that..." Lilly frowned, now even grumpier then before.

"You thought what?" she snapped.

"I, I thought that this was just a dream" he said sheepishly. Lilly immediately began to laugh, but it was not her normal sweet and sugary laugh it was slightly... evil.

"A dream?" she asked crisply "you are without a doubt the weirdest boy I have ever known!"

Later that night when Lilly was doing her rounds of the school, Tom came walking down the hallway.

"Oy!" she shouted at him. Tom turned to her keeping his face completely neutral.

"What do you think you're doing? Out of bed at this hour! Even if you are a new student you should know better by now!" Lilly rambled. Tom raised his eyebrow at her making her insides squirm slightly.

"Why are you so mean and hurtful to everyone Lillian?" he asked her.

"Potter was right you know! You can never see a persons real personality if you don't try" Lilly looked at him, a blank expression playing across her features.

"What are you talking about?" she asked him harshly.

"The other night, when you two were talking in the common room!" he said saucily.

"You were there?" she shouted, "How dare you! I don't, how'd you, it doesn't make sense!"

"I have my ways Evans!" he said smirking and watching her amusedly as she visibly squirmed.

"10 points from Slytherin!" she said menacingly. Tom shrugged.

"What for Evans?" he asked watching her intently.

"1: for sneaking into Gryfindor's common room without permission and 2: for walking around the corridors at night when you should be in bed!"

Tom rolled his eyes at her and began to walk away. "Like it matters to me Evans!"

"f-fine!" she stuttered angrily "fine then 15 points, for your cheek!" Tom shrugged again.

"Like I care, it's not my problem whether this Slytherin loses or earns points really!" Lilly began to turn purple as her famous temper began to play out.

"FINE, 50 POINTS WILL BE TAKEN FROM YOUR HOUSE FOR YOU LACK OF RESPECT TOWARDS THE HEAD GIRL AND FOR ANY OTHER SUCH ITEMS!" she shrieked. Tom merely turned to her and smirked.

"Now who's being childish?" he said laughingly.

Lilly groaned, he was right, Dang it he was right! She had allowed her temper to take control therefore allowing herself to act like a child.

Lilly smoothed out her cloak and took a deep breath. "Only ten points will be taken from Slytherin for the reasons stated before! Now I demand that you return to you dorm room!"

Tom smirked again but did not move. Lilly frowned at the boy before her.

"What?" she asked him feeling slightly dizzy from her breakdown before.

"Not before I get my good night kiss," he said a little bit too sweetly.

"w-what?" she stuttered as her eye lashes began fluttering, but before she could say anymore he had stepped forward and had captured her mouth in a searing kiss.

When he pulled back, Lilly just starred at him stunned, not sure, that Tom Riddle, the new student, had just kissed her and with such power!

"Just give me a chance Lilly," he said softly before stepping back and looking her up and down.

"Good night" he said softly and then turning back to the Slytherin common room.
