Dense head and bad ears

"No, you would've not Sirius"

"Wait what?! Sirius?! How'd she know it's me?! Bloody hell...am I still in my human form?! Ahh, fleas! No, I am not! I am soo itchy!"

Troubled Padfoot was on the verge of a breakdown as someone else now knows about his secret.

He had a lot of questions but Fate had already left.

Now grabbing her new diary that somewhat matched Riddles she began scribbling in some random spells she previously had learned.

After filling up some good six pages she closed the book satisfied. She pulled out her wand, then a charm spell left her lips leaving the diary locked and safe from any intruder who would try to evade her now, precious diary.

"Hey there...mind if I take a seat or would you like to take a seat with me? The ground doesn't seem that comfortable now does it?" Grinned Remus looking down at Fate.

She had not realized that she was sitting on the grass with her legs crossed as her mind was too crowded with thoughts to properly locate her surroundings.

"Oh...um sure" with a small smile she took a seat on the bench Remus was sitting.

"So why'd you skip divination, It not because of that predicament is it?"

Moony inquired looking at Fate since he thought she was new, hence there was a possibility that she must have been frightened of another dreadful future sighting.

"Oh it is nothing like that, also I do not care whatever professor Firenze has to say about my future because what's going to happen will happen either we know of it or not." Answered back Fate.

"Oh wow, that's the spirit- oh and a friend of yours was looking for you" He suddenly piped up.

"Wot? Who?"

"Riddle"

"huh? Riddle? I don't understand why would he look for me?"

Fate was confused there was no way Tom would acknowledge her absence. Remus must have misinterpreted him.

"Yes he seemed like he was anticipating for someone's arrival and he looked over to mine and Sirius's table about two or three times...plus the seat next to him was also vacant," Remus asserted, determined on what he said was true.

Slowly nodding Fate found a new chain of thoughts breaking through her mind.

—would it be true? Have I finally caught his attention? Or was something else going through that murderous mind of his—

"Right, well I am not sure why he was looking for me since we are not friends just potion partners"

Fate shut her diary and kept it aside, taking in a deep breath, she closed her eyes. Due to lack of sleep and meals, she felt exhausted, no matter how many cups of black coffee she had.

when she opened her eyes, unexpectedly they were met with a pair of dark chocolaty ones.

Tom looked at her then at Remus for a second with no certain emotion and walked away but Fate could swear she saw him roll his eyes.

—wot was his problem?—

"Shall we go to the next class?" Moony once again brought the girl back from her thoughts.

"Of course"

The next lesson was Herbology, Fate and Remus walked in the almost empty class, but yes Tom was already there, taking out his book from his bag.

Fate was left with another complicated decision to take.

—should I sit with the blank face or should I not?...okay actually I will sit with a blank face—

Avery has just stepped into class along with Lucius and Rosier.

Both of them took a seat right behind Tom, while Avery looked at Tom then Nott who was sitting in the row next to Tom, deciding with whom to take a seat.

Tom annoyingly looked up to see who was towering over him, causing a shadow to fall over his and when he did he first saw Avery then Fate.

He quickly plunged forward and garbed Avery by the arm and pulled him on the seat next to him.

All of this happened in just a few seconds so the poor girl did not even get a chance to do anything but she will do now.

"So...now that you have been looking his way since the past two minutes I am going to assume you wanted to sit next to him," Remus said eyeing Tom then Fate.

"Well, what can I do? I have got to my knowledge he his the best student in our class...so I thought maybe-"

"Oh no it is alright but Avery already sat with him" Remus assured.

"Oh, I will take care of that" Fate said confidently.

"Ok then" with a nod Remus took a seat opposite and far away from the Slytherins.

Fate made her way to Tom's table and by the look of it, everyone had noticed except Riddle himself.

"Hey there, Avery right? I was wondering if I could please take your seat? I am sort of struggling with Herbology and Tom could help me with it. so will you please let me?" She asked as politely and nicely as she possibly could.

Avery looked at her with a raised eyebrow while Tom on the other hand pretended that the right side of the class didn't exist.

Suddenly Avery did not know what took over him but he politely nodded and got up and took a seat with Nott.

With a satisfied smile, she took a next to the gorgeous but evil boy.

"Hello there," she greeted casually.

"Hey" he tried to not roll his eyes as he said his greetings.

"So, how was divination?"

"It was alright, we learned how to get an insight of the future by means of sand but all everyone saw was...well dirt nothing more" he explained looking slightly dissatisfied at the end.

Fate was about to speak when he uttered again. "Where were you?"

The words had left his lips before he could comprehend what he had said.

"I mean I speculated maybe you would've been able to see or tell anything at all in the sand as you did before too" he quickly covered for himself.

"Well, I just did not feel like taking the class, and also I am terrible at divination, that day was a mere miracle I was able to see anything at all...but I was not the only one who saw something in that orb" she sharply looked at him, ready to catch any signs of emotions.

Upon hearing about the vision again he slightly shifted. "How many times must I tell you! I did not happen to see anything!" He snapped back.

She sighed "I do not know why would you have to lie but when you feel like it do let me know"

He ignored her and soon professor was in the class.

"Okay, class today we will be learning how to take proper care of Self-fertilising shrubs" Professor spoke enthusiastically.

"Now please if you may make a line, we will be visiting the greenhouse. Remus and Tom make sure they behave properly" with that she already left leaving behind the two prefects.

"Alright Crysta, up" demanded Tom looking at her sharply.

"Wot?" She raised her eyebrow at the prickly boy.

He had given her order as if she were a dog and Fate was not happy about it.

"Are you deaf? I said up" he spat this time.

—oh! Your little piece of shi- okay okay what's wrong with me? I'm not egoistic. Calm down Fate!—

She calmed herself down and spoke again "well, there is a better way to say that because I assume you have forgotten your manners?"

"Ihave not and I do not need to learn them from you now get up, you are wasting my time girl" He once again snapped.

Using all the power in her body Fate tried to not to hex his arse right there and then. She got up and stood in the line with Lily and the others.

Soon everyone was in the greenhouse behind the castle and carrying their pots of "Self-fertilising shrub" outside in the sun and placed them separately.

"Okay now pair up and no same houses together. Lily, you with Severus..." upon hearing this James made a disgusted face and threw daggers at snape with his eyes.

"Remus you with Diggory, hmm...Tom you with the new Gryffindor" professor kept sorting on.

Fate tried not to smirk looking at Tom, who was trying very had to stay calm.

"Okay very well! Now, first, we will change their pots and give them a new and bigger one to ensure their growth continues freely without any restrictions, go ahead and grab your spades and do your job well"

Tom knelt next to his plant while Fate was about three feet apart from him due to the plants as they would kill each other if they were kept too close just like Fate and Tom themselves.

Fate struggled to try to pull the shrub out due to its very deeps roots however Tom on the other hand effortlessly loosed the roots.

He had taken off his robes, his sleeves were rolled and his eyebrows like all the time were furrowed in concentration.

He looked so pleasant doing his job flawlessly but sadly no one knows of the dark thoughts that linger within the dark corner of his mind.

Getting back to her work with another useless tug, Fate stabbed the spade into the soil one more time which made the some of the soil to jump out of the pot and sent it flying.

"Ugh!" Tom growled as he quicklyheld his palm on his eye, which now had soil in it.

Fate gasped putting her hand to her. She tried not to smirk at the struggling boy.

—ah karma indeed is a bitch—

"Can you not see what you doing stupid girl?!" He hissed furiously rubbing his eyes.

"Well...it was an accident" Fate replied in the most unapologetic way making the boy more furious.

"Look what you have done! I can not seeproperly!" Tom was blinking furiously to clear his vision.

—and he happens to be the future dark lord, what a wuss—

"Fine! Here hold this and I'll turn up the water" she grabbed the hose and gave it to Tom and started walking for the tap that was a bit farther away from their current spot.

"Oi Fate just to let you know the water comes out with a bit of pressure so you might want to give a signal before you turn it on" Remus warned her.

"Sure will and thanks" she smiled.

After  she made her way to the tap,  turned it and loudly yelled
"water in the hall!"

When Fate walked back she was a bit taken back when she saw a fuming Tom soaked in water with the hoes still in his hand, Well but at least his eyes were alright.

Her eyes grew wide. —oh shit blank faces face isn't blank anymore! He looks like he wants to kill me!—

Tom's face was not blank anymore indeed because he was burning in anger. He quickly threw the pipe as Fate took steps his way.

"You foolish little git I know you did this on purpose didn't you? Or perhaps that head of yours is too dense to have some sense in it?!" He hissed.

"Well, it's not my fault those ears of yours were covered by that thick layer of pride! Or perhaps your just deaf!"

Fate snapped back taking a step towards him but as she did, she accidentally kicked his pot of shrubs.

—WOULD THINGS GO ANYMORE WRONG?!—

"Okay, this. Is. It!" Tom gritted his teeth and mumbled a spell with his wand out and soon another clashing sound was heard and Fates pot was also on the ground scattered.

"Oh, you-" Fate gasped in disbelief. He was aperfect he wouldn't do that but he did!

"Enough! Riddle and Crysta! Detention!" Professor spoke in anger.

—yes...things can get more wrong—
