Jinx

Lilys' smile widened looking at her friend.

"Alright then! All you need to do is...be great in potions and I know you can do it! Just be more attentive and participate more in class discussions and make sure you get noticed by Slughorn okay"

"Of course! I'll do it" Fate smiled back.

Downing all of her coffee she grabbed her books and along with Lily, she made her way to her first lesson. Which was potions.

Fate knew that getting into that club would be worthwhile as she would get to spend more time with Riddle even though she despised every second she had to spend with the murderer or a future murderer.

It won't be long until Tom finds out about the taste of immortality and will stop at nothing to gain it.

Walking in class she was anticipating seeing Slughorn be waiting at his table or scribbling something on the blackboard but instead, she found the missing dark-eyed boy having quite a nice chat with Slughorn.

But as soon as Fate stepped in the classroom Tom who had a subtle smile on his face, stopped talking as soon as he acknowledged her presence.

"Well well miss crystal, miss Evans! Come in! I and Tom were having a lovely conversation would you like to join till the others arrive?" Professor chimed looking at the two girls.

"Umm...it's Cryst-" as Fate was about to correct herself a smooth velvety voice spoke over.

"Sir if I am not wrong it's Crysta" corrected Tom.

"Oh pardon me! Miss Crysta" Slughorn said once again with a warm smile.

He looked so friendly and sweet unless like other teachers who were serious most of the time but professor Slughorn was very bright and polite.

And it looked like Tom shared similar thoughts with Fate, as he only spoke with a smile to Slughorn.

That means, Professor has something or knows something that might be beneficial for Riddle.

"Actually sir I think I should have a look at today's lesson so excuse me" Once again before Fate could respond to the professor Tom had already ended the discussion clearly not wanting any more company.

The boy went back to his seat and opened his book, shuffling through the pages.

Meanwhile, during all that Lily stood there awkwardly. "So I assume you would like to sit with him right?" She asked Fate.

"Yes," Fate replied.

"Okay I'll sit with you both too because snape will be here too" she smiled and made her way to Toms table and so did Fate.

As soon as the red-haired girl took a seat at the table of four, Tom shifted his gaze to her, a slight wave of anger flashed across his face as he took in a breath.

Fate suddenly felt very uncomfortable as she realized her friend was sat at the same table as the person who murders her in the future.

Lily was a muggleborn and who else would know better than Fate herself,  how much Tom loathed mudbloods, and at what lengths he would go to finish them.

Trying to divert Toms's attention she spoke up looking at him and pointing at a random potion recipe on a random page she asked Tom if he had studied it before.

"Yes, of course, Wiggenweld Potion is a powerful healing potion and I've brewed it before" he explained looking utterly bored.

"Oh alright..." Fate nodded slowly not knowing what to say further and an awkward silence took over the place.

"So anyway, what's your best subject here? I mean your favorite subject"
Asked Fate in hopes of starting a nice chat for the sake of a friendship.

And that's when a slight smirk appeared on his lips. "Every subject is my best subject, I don't mean to boast but I get top grades in all classes and as for my favorite subject I think you already know" he finished confidently.

—of course, he would be a narcissist too I mean his dumb face barely has any human-like emotions but when it comes to his top grades and intelligence, he glows— Thinking to herself she nodded to Tom.

After that, the class started as snape and the others arrived in a few minutes.

Thankfully Fate attentively listened to the lecture, took notes, and did very well in class or maybe it was because she was sat next to Tom who HAD to help her as she was a new student.

Either way, she did good and hopefully, she would get in the club.

Another day gone wasted as the Slytherin boy avoided the girl who wished to be his friend.

Fate was sat in the yard as the sun seeped back into its place, the last rays of orange and pink were fading by the passing minute.

A new book laid in front of her, a new piece of knowledge embedded in her brain. Even she didn't find the thing she needed she sure as hell had learned a lot more dark spells that could come in very handy.

A few more minutes passed and now the gloomy stars had taken over the once golden sky.

The night felt oddly cold, despite being at home Fate felt very alone because Hogwarts or not this wasn't her era, it was Riddles.

With a sigh, she closed her book and headed for the main hall, and that's when an idea popped up in her head.

Quickly going to her dorm she grabbed her bag and took out a few Galleons she looked around to see if Lily or the others were anywhere to be seen but thankfully they weren't as she didn't want any company.

There was still some time before bed and she had a plan as she started walking out of school towards Diagon Alley.

Walking for some time she finally found it "The Magical Menagerie".

She opened the door and the small bell above it rang and soon the shopkeeper appeared.

"Why hello miss how can I help you?"

"I'm looking for a...cat"

"Oh of course this way please"

Fate walked in front of different cages peering at each cat when one black kitten caught her attention.

"Hmm...how about you huh?" She kneeled in front of the cage, pushing her finger in the cage to pet the small furball, the cat quickly came nearby and gave her hand a quick sniff before pushing its head against her fingers.

After a long time, a genuine smile took over her features.

"I'll take this one"

Fate walked out of the shop with her new little friend in a carrier but as she walked by "Flourish and Blotts" she thought of something and walked in.

"Hey there, I was wondering if you make personal diaries? I want my name at its back"

"Oh yes of course we do"

"Well then I would like to buy one"

Now back to her dormitory she sat the diary aside and opened the cat carrier when suddenly a gasp came from behind her, it was Tonks.

"Oh my god! A kitten! It's soo adorable!" She came running to Fates' bed.

"Can I pet him?!" She beamed.

"Of course" Fate replied.

"What's its name?" Tonks said smilingly while scratching the little kitten under its chin.

"Hmm..." Fate looked at the black fur ball that was now purring looking back at her "I think I'll call you...Jinx"

"Oh wow...thats quite a name for a black cat," Tonks said "I love it" she continued with a shriek.

͙⁺˚*･༓☾　　☽༓･*˚⁺‧͙

It was one past half and Fate and Jinx were on their way to the library.

Once she reached the back of the library, she held jinx her hands "okay go on off but as soon as someone appears meow away okay"

With that she let the black cat stroll off and she started grabbing books and doing the same as always.

After reading about four books a meow emerged from the left side of the library slightly startled, Fate grabbed the books, shoved them in her bag she took off towards the exit.

Soon Jinx caught up with her, Fate quickly grabbed him up and was about to run down the hallway when she heard a slight shuffling close which made her stop dead in her tracks.

Blue light illuminated from her wand and shone into some paintings face, waking it up.

"Oi! Turn that off will you please! Merlin's sake it's 3 in the morning" yelled the angry man in the portrait scaring the daylights out of the poor girl.

"SHH!" She harshly shushed the painting but the damned painting did the opposite and yelled again.

—I seriously I can not believe this is happening to me! Again! Why can't Riddle sit his arse in his dormitory for once?!— Fate mentally facepalmed in frustration as the painting once again opened its mouth to speak.

But Fate did before it could "speak one more time and I will burn this bloody picture down to ashes and I'd make sure to make it as painful and slow as possible you stupid knobhead!"

The harsh words seemed to do the job as the old man had now shut its mouth but to her poor luck the noise of shoes walking towards her took off.

—ugh screw me! Not again!—

"Go the right corridor and distract him...or whoever it is and then meet me back at the common room" she instructed Jinx as she sneakily took off.

After reaching outside the common room Fates anxiety levels were rising it been five minutes, where was Jinx.

But as soon she felt the silkiest fur touch her ankle, she let out a sigh of relief.

"Oh my god come here, you did great" Fate grabbed her kitty and held it close to her stroking it's shiny black fur.

Now on her bed, a cup of coffee in her hand, a new book of dark arts in her lap, and a peacefully sleeping kitten beside her,

Fate relaxed and read the night away before eventually falling asleep at about five in the morning.

After walking she was greeted by a swooning Lily and Tonks. "Fate! Your kitten is soo cute and its fur is soo silky just like your hair!" Lily exclaimed excitedly.

"Oh thanks" Fate rubbed her eyes, struggling to keep them open.

͙⁺˚*･༓☾　　☽༓･*˚⁺‧͙

Today's day was extremely boring and difficult or Fate as she couldn't a chance to talk to Riddle without seeming like as if she was desperate for attention and second she had tests that she was not prepared for at all.

It was the fourth period and Fate was skipping as she just did not feel like taking her deviation lesson only to find out she would turn into a goat or something.

With jinx in her arms, she was aimlessly wandering in the corridors, not in the mood to even read a book related to bloody immortality.

The sound of sharp nails against the glossy marbled floor made her attention divert, as she turned around Fate was met with a big black grim.

She tried to suppress her smirk as the dog stepped a bit closer to her.

"Oh-oh, what do we have here! Fatey! Haha, I feel bad but it's time for a little prank" Sirius laughed but all the echoed around the halls was "woof woof woof".

Fate stood there amusedly watching Padfoot hope around in excitement.

"Okay then enough with this, time to get scared!" Sang the doggo but again it was all woof and woof.

With that the grim suddenly went quiet and took a step closer to the girl, a dangerous growl leaving its mouth but Fate still stood there with a raised eyebrow.

Slightly confused Sirius kept going but when the girl didn't budge, the big black dog with one loud woof ran towards the unbothered girl but she still stood her ground with an amused smirk on her face.

"W-What?! Girl are you in your right mind?! I was charging towards you! I could've bitten your leg off!"  the Poor doggo whined.

Fate turned around ready to walk away but then slowly looked back at Padfoot.

"No, you would've not Sirius"
