Chapter 34: Accused

                                    

                                          
Recap:
"It wasn't a request. It was an order..." she says
"By whom?"
"Headmaster Dippet," she says
Present:
Y/N's POV:
"Did he tell you why?" I asked as I got out of bed
"No, but he said it was urgent," Daisy says "He'd be at his office,"
She then left the room. I sighed and washed myself up and wore my uniform. I then walked towards Headmaster Dippet's office where he was waiting for me. I knocked on his office door.
"Come in," I hear him say, I then pushed the door open and I see Dippet sitting in his office chair and Dumbledore next to him
"You requested me, Headmaster?" 
"Yes, sit down please," he tells me, I then sat on the chair across from him "Another student was killed last night. Myrtle Warren,"
"How is this the first I've heard of this? I would've heard the other students talking about this in the dormitories," I asked
"We haven't disclosed this to the other students yet," Dumbledore speaks "It would cause panic and we didn't want that,"
"So why are you telling me this?" I asked in a puzzled tone
"Because you know Mr. Riddle best," Headmaster Dippet answers, I froze slightly when I heard his name
"What does he got to do with this?" I asked in a slightly angered voice
"Mr. Riddle hasn't been on school grounds this past week, he's probably hiding right now," Headmaster Dippet states
"You don't have any solid proof," I tell them, Dumbledore then takes something out of a container and placed it on the table, it was a ring covered in blood. It was the gift I gave Tom. I was in denial. Tom wouldn't kill someone... 
"This was found in the scene of Warren's death," Dumbledore explains "We believe that he was connected to the other murders that have happened this year,"
"Riddle isn't that stupid. He wouldn't just leave something so obvious. And remember we took Veritaserum?" I tell them
"Sometimes the most intelligent people make mistakes...And we were told by professor Slughorn, that the Veritaserum wasn't ready yet, therefore it was faulty," Headmaster Dippet says "Have you seen Riddle this past week?"
"No, I haven't seen him since the day of Woods's death," I tell him
"Very well, you are excused Ms. L/N," Headmaster Dippet says sending me off, I got off the chair and walked towards the door "If you do see Mr. Riddle you let me or Dumbledore know, is that clear?"
I stopped and turned around.
"Yes, Headmaster Dippet," I said leaving the office, I started to walk faster and started running away from his office
I must find Tom. I then walked up the tower where Tom and I hung out. He wasn't there. I then secretly left the school grounds to look in the forest. I then ran to the Great Lake. He was nowhere to be found, I then plopped onto the floor and started to cry. I then started to remember all of the good memories we had together.
"I must admit, Riddle, you do look charming today," I said with a smile, he then smiles softly too
"You too, are also charming L/N," he smiles
(Chapter 17: Yule Ball)
"And you're going to be my date for Slughorn's Christmas Party," he smiles
"You didn't even ask and I didn't even agree yet," I said looking at him, he furrows his eyebrows confusingly, I then chuckled "Of course, I would be your date, Tom,"
(Chapter 21: Late Night Studying)
I then felt a snowflake landing on my nose. We both then looked up and noticed a mistletoe above us. We then both exchanged glances.
"It's not like you're going to kiss me anyways," I stated with a smirk "You don't believe in stupid muggle traditions..."
I then started walking back in, but I was then pulled. I then felt Tom's warm lips kissing me. I then kissed him back. His lips were soft and tasted like cool mint. He then pulls back and looks at me.
"Every muggle tradition, but this one..." he smiles
(Chapter 22: Mistletoe)
"Of course..." he says, he pecks my forehead "I love you,"
"I love you too,"
(Chapter 24: Sunflower)
I then wipe my tears away. I felt an arm patting my back, I turned to look it was Amelia. And around her were Peony, Daisy, and Lestrange. They all then hugged me.
"C'mon let's go back inside, they have your favorite for dinner," Amelia says
"Thanks, guys..." I tell them
"Say is it just me or are there two ginger hooligans running around?" Lestrange asks as he squints his eyes, George and Fred...I see them prancing around the field for some reason
"Let's ignore them...They're probably crazy..." I tell him
Fred's POV:
"George the past is crazy!" I exclaimed
"I know! I can't wait to tell mom about this!"
