Toms POV

I awoke as normal, but for some reason, throughout the day, Lucius Malfoy kept smiling at me, and smirking to himself all day. I really have no idea what he could be happy about, I was forcing his only son to kill someone for his own foolish actions, and still he had a smirk on his face.

" Malfoy, why do you insist on smiling at me all the time, would you like to share what your reason for being so happy is?" I asked, I had hardly any sleep last night, so therefore, I was in no position to crucio him today but, I was incredibly irritable. He smiled at me and then said, "My Lord, may I have a word?"

I said nothing, I just rose from the breakfast table, and walking into one if his private offices.

"Malfoy." I said, very curious to know why he kept smiling like a fool.

"My Lord, a new student has come to Hogwarts." He said, then his grin got bigger.

"And?" I snapped, if he really dragged me in here to tell me this, I might feel up to tourching him today.

" Its her, It is Victoria, just like you said would happen, she has returned, looking more beautiful than the portrait you showed me, if I do say so myself." He said.

I felt my knees go week. I could hardly stand up, my heart was beating so fast, I her memory flooded my mind. I closed my eyes at the thought.

"Are you sure?" I said bardley above a whisper, I know how much of a fool I looked like right now, but I really did not care.

"Yes My Lord, Isn't it wonderful, she is back!" He said, still smiling," If he only knew." I thought, My Victoria, in my arms again, the thought sent tears down my disfigured face. My love was returning to me..

"Bring her here." I said, just below a whisper.

"Yes My Lord." He said.

We looked at each other for a moment and then he left the room, leaving me to my thoughts.

"My Victoria." I said, feeling my heart flutter, just thinking about her coming back to me. Then I thought about our daughter, Alexandra Maria Riddle. She would have been beautiful no doubt. I always felt a connection with her through Victoria, She would sing to Alexandra at night when she thought I wasn't home. I would just go and stand outside the door, and listen to her. She loved her so much, then I ended it, her precious life. But this is my chance of possible redemption, and a new life with the woman I love.

Flashback.

"Tom.. I cant except this! It is breath taking!" Victoria said, looking at the diamond necklace I had just placed on her.

"It was my mothers, it was the one thing she left me with." I said.

"Tom. This is.." Before she could finish I put my finger to her lips.

"Just tell me you love it and give me a smile, that's all I need in life." I told her, looking down on her, holding her hand.

"Tom.. This is the most amazing thing I have ever seen." She said. Her smile got me every time.

"Well.. I also have something else for you, meet me on the astronomy tower tonight at eight?" I asked her.

"Of course." She said before standing on her tiptoes and brushing her soft lips against my cheek," Thank you." She whispered, then walked away, as I watched her walk away from me, I get this sadness when she is not around. It gets worse by the day, so I spend as much time with her as I can.

By eight, I was already on top of the tower, she soon followed.

She ran and jumped in my arms, which I was not expecting, then quickly closed the gap between our mouths, no matter how many times Victoria and I kissed, I still get the same feeling as I did the first time, a sweet burning sensation ignites between us, and fire and passion ripples through my body.

In between kissed, I slid the diamond earrings into her palm.

"Tom, I.." Before she could object, I kissed her again, she tore her lips away from mine for a moment, and looked up at with her big green eyes, she squeezed my hand and put one hand in mine, and her other hand to rest on my cheek.

"I love you Tom." She said. Those words that she spoke, were the three most beautiful words I had ever heard anyone say, I felt the tears swell up in my eyes. No other human had ever shown me such affection, disregarding the group of Slytherin whores that I used to use weekly before my Victoria came.

"I love you Victoria." I said, knowing every single word I had just said, was the truth, she is so precious to me, and I would love her till the day I die. I knew I would the first time I saw her.

"Don't ever stop holding me." She said, looking up at me, and giving me one of her half smiles, her eyes also had tears in them.

"I have no intention of letting such a thing happen, as long as im around, you will never feel pain, just happiness. I want to make you the happiest woman alive, because you deserve that Victoria." I said, feeling the tears streaming down my face.

"How can you make me more happy than I am now Tom?" She asked, and smiled and squeezed my hand again.

"I love you Victoria." I said, kissing her forehead.

"I love you too my dear." She replied, lightly kissing my lips.

Then we laid down, her head was on my chest, and she was drawing circles on my stomach. My hand was brushing her long blond hair. She looked up at me, and her lips were inches from mine and she said," You are so perfect Tom, I love you so much." Then she connected our lips, and running her fingers through my hair. I pulled apart and whispered," Your beautiful my love." Then began lightly kissing her neck.

Flashback over.

My hands were shaking, and tears were making there way down my face.

"My Victoria." I said, smiling, knowing my love is returning to me.
