Special Edition: St. Val's Ball

Instructions

The Very First one attended by me. ________________________________________________________ I woke up. "Hey, Riddle. Better wake up.", A boy called. I opened my eyes. "You know, you better decide your date.", Another one said and they ran off snickering as I pointed my wand at them. Just because of that annoying step brother, Draco, Everyone knew that I was a Riddle. Those who didn't, would know sooner or later. I quickly changed into my Slytherin robes and walked out. "Hey Zeus, had a good night?",Skylar asked. "Yes, did you have breakfast?", I asked her as I picked up my timetable. "No. Let's walk together. Your eyes tell me you just woke up.", She said as she picked up her bag and helped me with my papers. "You know what loser? You better stay away from Skylar.", Draco whispered in my ear as he waved a tiny hi to Skylar. "You better mind where you step, Malfoy.", I whispered back annoyed and angry. I quickly left the place. "Zeus! Wait for me!", Skylar shouted as she came running. "Oh yeah right. Sorry. Wait, What is my name?", I asked her because...she was talking to me and why would she if she knew I am a Riddle. "Did someone put a memory charm on you? Zeus Malfoy. Or Zeus Riddle ofcourse.", She said giggling. I sighed. "Skylar, if you think that I am as dangerous as YOU KNOW WHO then you can leave me. I am fine on my own.", I replied. I didn't want to live on anybody's pity. She giggled. "Never, oh! There's Sam. Got to go!", She said waving a bye. After classes, I was super exhausted. I had more homework than ever and that is mainly the reason why I went to the library. "Aurelia, you shouldn't talk to that Malfoy. He is a Riddle. Do you understand me? He could put you in trouble! Or maybe...kill you!", Harry was whispering. "No Harry. I am his friend and what good are friends if they judge you by your family reputation. What good are friends for if they vanish when you really need them?", Aura replied angrily and I heard stomps coming towards me so I wore my hood. "Zeus, do you really have to eavesdrop? I am never leaving your side and I hope I made it clear!", She hissed angrily and left. I realised that the talk between Aura and me took place in parseltongue and hence no one knew about it. Later that evening, I searched up my trunk and found what I was looking for. It was a silver heart locket with a space for a tiny photo. I put it neatly in a box and wrapped it up. In the evening, the ball took place. Aurelia was giggling with Dawn and Laura. "Aurelia, Can I talk to you?", I asked and winked at Laura. Laura immediately made up an excuse to take Dawn with her and then, I was free. "What happened?", She asked me confused. I took a deep breath. "Will you, be my girlfriend?", I asked. "Yes! In a million years, yes!", She shrieked. I was surprised. This was easy. "Aura, here. I brought this for you.", I said giving her the box. She looked at it adoringly and then opened it. "Wow! I love this. The photo can wait.", She said handing it over to me. "So, you don't want it?", I asked disheartened. "Are you romantic or not? With that Laura helping you and this all, anyone would think you are really romantic.", She said giggling. I smiled and tied it around her neck. "Let's dance.", She added almost dragging me to the dance floor. We danced for all the songs and then had some small snacks to eat. That was the day when I found out that beneath all the people I knew, the one I could trust was here, dancing by my side. "Hi Zeus. How was it?", Alexandra asked as she sat with Michael. Easy for her to ask that. After all, She had a boyfriend who loved her. "Great!", I answered coldly and in a sarcastic tone. I didn't think that Aurelia would really be my girlfriend with Harry Potter as her so called 'Brother'. "Hey, if you are thinking that Aurelia will have to break up with you because of Harry. It is really wrong. You don't know what she herself goes through and how strong she can be and has been.", She added as if she had almost read my mind. "Don't act so shocked. It can be with anyone.", She said waving me a bye as she left for her dorm. "Hi Michael.", I said trying to avoid the awkwardness. "Hi Zeus. It won't be that difficult dating a Potter if she is headstrong. If she knows and trusts you, She will never leave you. Even if someone forces her to stay away from you. Otherwise, she doesn't deserve you.", He said. "Thanks. Will keep that in mind.", I replied and went to bed. Good friends....Good memories...made sense.
