A/N: PLEASE READ! Hey! This is probably going to be the last of my frequent update streak. School starts in three days! D: I hope you all enjoy it. There isn't much Tom/Sabrina action in this one. Or any Tom for that matter. Well, enjoy! :)

Ciao! Lovelies! :)
The Rest Of Day One: Part I
Sabrina absolutely loathed divination. The only reason why she took the class back in her time, was because it was an easy O. However, she was deeply regretting signing up for the class. It was all bull shit. Bull shit.
Cassandra Trelawney of 1943 was even loopier than Sybill Trelawney of 2012. She could definitely see the resemblance between the two. They both had white faces, magnified (due to the spectacles they wore) dark green eyes, and frizzy brown hair. Sabrina could almost pretend she was back in 2012 because of how identical the two professors looked. They even wore the same droopy cardigans and the same hideous sweaters!
"Oh, my poor child! What a horrid fate! A horrid fate!" she had told Sabrina, the minute she stepped into the classroom. 'Yep. Definitely something Sybill would say.'
"Er-I see a giraffe."
Marius gave her a doubtful look and took the tea cup from her (they were looking at tea leaves today). He looked down at his textbook, that was sitting on his knee.
"That's not a giraffe. It's a hand." He said, pointing to a page on the textbook.
Sabrina peered at the page.
"No, I'm pretty sure that it's a giraffe." she told him, taking the cup back.
"There isn't anything about giraffes in the book. And that doesn't even make any sense. I'm telling you it's a hand."
"I'm telling you it's a giraffe. Look! There's the head, the long neck and the legs. See?"
Marius took the cup back from her and peered into it. His long nose almost completely inside the cup.
"It's because you're holding it upside down. See?" he flipped the cup over and showed her.
"It's a hand. What giraffe has five legs?"
"That's his tail!"she argued.
"That's the thumb!"he countered.
"Guin, doesn't this look like a giraffe to you?"
The ginger removed her gaze from the textbook and looked inside the tea cup in Sabrina's hands.
"It kinda looks like a hand. An old person's hand. You see the long skinny fingers?"
"Ha! I told you so!" Marius exclaimed, smugly.
"Oh, shut up." Sabrina frowned at him. She was certain it was a giraffe.
"Aaaawww. Ease up, dolly."
This earned him a light smack on the face.
"Violence is never the answer." Guin giggled out.
"I apologize Mother Guinevere. Now, what does the-*cough* *cough*-hand mean, anyway?"
Marius flipped through the textbook and said: "Since the hand is slightly curled, it says here it's an omen of bad luck."
"It indicates that you are in terrible danger." he added, a little more gravely.
Sabrina snorted. "Bull shit." She's already had enough bad luck.
Guin shrugged and said, "Probably is. Mine says that I'll enjoy my suffering. Whatever that's supposed to mean."
Marius rolled his eyes and snatched Guin's cup from her hands.
"Give me that! You're both absolutely daft. You two don't appreciate the art Tessomancy enough, to understand it."
Guin and Sabrina cackled like the witches they were. The two females watched and listened as Marius 'deciphered' what Guin's omen was.
The trio had lunch after divination. And then they proceeded to their afternoon classes. She had, had D.A.D.A, Charms and History of Magic with Guin and Marius. D.A.D.A and Charms were as fun and engaging as always, and she rather liked Professor Merrythought (the D.A.D.A professor of this era). Professor Goodrich was alright as well. Sabrina found him to be a bit scary though. With his dark, condemning eyebrows and all his bulk. He looked more like a gangster than a charms teacher.
"TODAY WE WILL BE TAKING A POP QUIZ." he had 'said'.
History of Magic was a complete and utter bore. Binns still looked the same. He hadn't changed much in 2012. He still looked transparent and dead and dull. Still had the same sleepy voice, and still taught the same taxing lessons. She basically memorized everything Binns was teaching. Sabrina spent the whole of that class passing notes to Guin, much to Marius' dismay. She couldn't understand what Marius found to be so interesting about listening to Binns drawl on and on about things they've already been taught.
Ancient Runes had been interesting. Sabrina had been pleasantly surprised to see that Bathsheda Babbling held the Ancient Runes post (and she would hold onto that post for another 70 years). She looked much younger than her older counterpart, back in 2012. She still had the same friendly, honey brown eyes, the same pretty face and the same kind smile. Her hair was a honey brown color that matched her eyes, instead of the striking silver Sabrina had become accustomed to.
After runes, she met up with Marius and Guin in the library for free period. They decided to meet up there to do their mountains of homework together.
By the time dinner came, Sabrina was exhausted and starving. She was close to cracking. 'Merlin! The forties gives out a lot of homework!' And she wasn't even done yet. She still had a midnight astronomy class to attend.
"That's Arisa Fujioka. The one with the disease. And the harlot with blonde hair, sitting on Riddle's lap is Aphrodite Everett." Guin informed her, unabashedly pointing at a pale girl with slim green eyes and shiny black hair, whom she recognized to be Elphaba.
Sabrina burst out laughing, showering the table in mashed potatoes. 'Aphrodite Everett? What kind of name is that?'
"Sabrina! Swallow first!" Guin scolded.
"W-what the hell? What kind of n-name is that? A-Aphrodite Everett?"
Marius grinned at her. "It's a stupid name. But the bloody slut seems to be proud of it."
"Marius! That's really mean!"
Guin began smacking him with her spoon.
"Hey! Hey! Stop it! I'm sorry-but you can't punish me for speaking the truth."
"Violence is never the answer." Sabrina said between fits of laughter.
"Oh right. Thank you for reminding me." Guin put the spoon down.
"Who's that dude?" Sabrina asked the redhead, pointing at a boy with platinum tell-tale blonde hair. He was obviously a Malfoy, but she wasn't supposed to know that.
"That's Abraxas Malfoy. He's a total git that one. A coward. Follows Riddle around like some lost puppy." Marius answered, a layer of disgust and disapproval in his voice.
"And the ridiculously, attractive, dreamy, smart, handsome, beautiful, gorgeous-" Guin began gushing out dreamily.
"What she means to say is, the ridiculously, fake, plastic, kiss up, stickup the arse, headboy underneath the harlot is the infamous Tom Riddle." Marius finished, smirking at Guin. He didn't think Riddle was that bad, to be honest. He was a decent bloke. Marius just enjoyed making Guin angry. He found it funny how smitten she was with Riddle.
Guin frowned at him and began hitting him with her spoon again.
"You take it back! You're just jealous of his hotness!"
"No. I'm just stating facts-"
Her two new friends were bickering on and on, but Sabrina couldn't seem to hear any of it.
'The infamous Tom Riddle...Tom Riddle. Tom Riddle. Tom. Riddle...' She thought to herself. 'Why do I feel like I'm supposed to-TOM MARVOLO RIDDLE. I AM LORD VOLDEMORT.'
Sabrina began promptly choking on her carrots. She couldn't believe it. 'How could I have been so slow?' In all her irritation and annoyance towards him last night, she had completely dismissed his name. Tom Marvolo Riddle, commonly known as Lord Voldemort-defeated by the great Harry Potter- was the most infamous dark wizard who had ever lived in her time. And now she was stuck in his time. His prime time to be exact.
"He is absolutely-I told you! For Merlin's sake! Chew before you swallow, Sabrina!" Guin chewed her out.
Marius began thunderously patting her back, in a vain attempt to unclog her breathing/eating tube.
Cough. Cough. "I'm," Cough. "Fine." Cough. Cough. Cough. She took a napkin and gingerly wiped her mouth.
"Riddle? What's the story with him?"
"So you've heard?"
"Kind of. I read something in the prophet, with his name. Said something about an award or whatever." She told them innocently. Feigning ignorance.
The ginger girl and the jade eyed boy exchanged nervous glances. They looked at each other as if debating whether or not to tell her.
And then: "About two years ago, weird things were happening." Guin began.
"Really bad, weird things happened. This was in our fifth year here, I think. There was a monster loose in the castle. A monster that petrified muggleborns. Only muggleborns." Marius added.
"People said that the Chamber of Secrets had been opened. The attacks were so frequent and became so bad, that almost all the muggleborn students left Hogwarts. Hogwarts was almost shut down. A muggleborn named Myrtle Olivere died." Guin whispered, sadly.
"She was the only one that died. They found her dead in the first floor girls bathroom...Some say she killed herself...She's still in there...haunting the toilets..."
"Thankfully, Riddle found the criminal. Rebeus Hagrid. A half-breed in third year. His pet Acromantula had been the one responsible for the attacks. Riddle was given the Special Award for Services to the School award." Guin finished.
The Great Hall had suddenly taken up a gloomy air, despite the fact that they were surrounded by smiling faces and laughing people.
'So, he's already done it.'
Marius smiled, tentatively and said, "Don't worry about it, though. It's over and gone. Everything's better now."
Guinevere nodded in agreement. "Yeah. Tom's such an angel."
Marius snorted. Guin frowned at him. Sabrina only smiled. Oh how so very wrong they were.
