A Voldemort Love Story - Magic 8 Ball [10]

recap: If you dont feel comfortable being at my side, then were over, Ria. Ill never love another, but I will rule the world. I know it goes against your natural niceness. Honestly, I dont know why you were ever in Slytherin, my love, he said sadly, pulling her into his arms, but Im glad you were. But, youd never have to experience the world I will live in.. I will keep you in a castle, filled with books, and clothes, and jewels, and I will be home every night to see you, and theer will be servants to help you, and he stopped. He was babbling, but he couldnt stand it if Ria said no. He loved her. He hadnt thought himself capable of such an emotion, but he was. He loved her, shoot for the moon, reach for the stars, over the mountains, cross the sea love. He never wanted to be apart from her. Please Ria, he said, I love you.
back to the story...
Oh, Tom, Ria sighed, overcome by conflicting emotions, I love you too. Burt what youre saying, thats evil, and I couldnt do that. To rule the world you would have to kill, and I know you. You resent those Muggleborn, though you yourself had a Muggle father, and I know that you are the heir to Salazar Slytherin, most cunning of the Hogwarts Four, but oh, tom, I just couldnt do that, just couldnt watch you take away lives like that, without a care for their families, or for their friends. I just couldnt Tom.
Ria, Tom sighed, just listen, he stopped, a single tear shining in his chocolate brown eyes.
Goodbye, Tom, I love you, Ria whispered, holding him to her for a last second, then turning slowly, climbing the staircase towards the exit of the chamber. (me: I know theres no staircase for real in the books, but just work with me, okay?)

that's sad!
me: isn't it, though?
My Dear Friend,
Oh, God. Tom is different than I thought he was, crueler and not as nice, but it is so evident that he truly loves me. In everything he does, at least when it concerns me, he is gentle and loving, and he always makes sure that I have everything I need. But, when Im not around, hes so different. For example, when he found out what James Potter did to me, well, Potter was in the hospital wing for a week. He bewitched a bludger to follow him around, beating him across the head all day. But the thing was, the bludger was invisible. All his friends thought he was daft, but he knew it was there, and so did Tom. Finally when the blood began to pour from the poor boys head, they realized he was telling the truth. Professor Dumbledore had to go and unbewitch the thing, because Madame Pomfrey (me: shes old, right?) couldnt figure out how to do it.
Thats what I cant understand about Tom. How he could do something so horrible, like nearly bludger a boy to death, and then do something so kind as what he did on Saturday, bringing me breakfast in bed like that (he must have figured out some charm to keep the steps from turning into a slide). He made sure to bring the pumpkin marmalade, my favorite that they only make at Hogwarts, and he snuck into the kitchen to ask the house elves to make hot chocolate, my favorite drink that they dont make here. But Tom convinced them to. I almost wonder if he threatened them, but then I remember the smile he had on his face when he saw how happy he had made me, a big goofy grin that wouldnt leave, even after I teased him. And thats why I love him, he gets such joy from making me happy.
Thats why I dont understand, how he could want to rule the world like that, why he would kill others. Power is good, yes, I can see that. It is nice for teachers to know that Im Toms one and only, I always get good grades, even when I dont deserve them. But to kill to get it? I dont think so. Professor Dumbledore has power, and as far as I know, he has never killed another. So why this path for Tom? I just dont know.
Thinking of you,
Ria

she still loves him?
me: what part about "she will always love him" don't you get?
Journal:
I took Notts advice, and told Ria my feelings. She loves me too, at least thats what she said, but she wont marry me, wont stand by my side when I become the Dark Lord. This saddens me. I love Ria, despite the fact that I seem incapable of feelings, she just touches something deep inside that I thought had died. But not for Ria. She just has such a happy presence that I feel happy to just being in her presence. She has a pure soul. But mine, well, I have no soul. But when Im with her, I want to make her happy. But I will rule the world. Maybe then, when I am ruler of the world, Ria will come to see that she must become my queen, if there is to be any compassion or mercy in the worlds future, it must come from her. Perhaps she, too, will think these thoughts. If she does, then maybe, maybe our love has a chance. I will always love her, even if she refuses to be my queen. I must take another, for the sake of carrying on my line, but Ria will always hold my heart. I will never have feeling again because I know they will be only for Ria, only Ria can reach my dying soul. Oh, Ria why dont you love me as I love you?
Slow and Painful,
Tom

kind of sentimental, isn't it?
me: well, yah, i was...flexing my creative muscles...
Lily! Ria called, her voice wavering with tears, Lily! She knocked on the door to the Third year Gryffindor Girls Dormitory. Lily opened it, her eyes puffy and red, tears still wetting the contours of her cheeks. Ria embraced her and Lily closed the door. Ria sat on an empty bed next to Lilys and stared out the window at the rain pouring from the sky.
Are we destined to never be happy in love, Lil? Ria asked sadly
Dont say that, Ria, Lily said, We will be. But, first we have to overcome these obstacles. But we will. Look, Nell gave me this for my last birthday, but Ive never used it. She held up a pink ball, with a clear spot in the middle. Its called magic 8 ball, and you ask it a question, and the answer will appear in the center. You go first. Lily said, nearly throwing it at her.
No, you! Ria insisted, throwing it back to her.
Fine, Lily snapped, her eyes blazing fire, but she shook the ball and asked Who is my one true love?
The ball read James Potter.
Oh, God, Lily moaned, her voice cracking at the thought of her worst enemy being her only love. You go. she ordered Ria, her voice miserable.
Fine. Magic 8 Ball, who is my one true love?
The ball read Tom Marvolo Riddle.

OMG!
me: uhh..lily and james or ria and tom??
