1943

Venus and Tom had finished Potions and today was their first encounter of Slughorn since the summer. He was hosting a little Slug Club meeting. And obviously Venus was exited. She still hadn't forgot about what Tom and her spoke about the other day in the library.

'I feel like we will speak to Slughorn after the meeting' Tom paced the Room of Requirement

'Why after? Can't it be a different day?' She asks

'Venus, darling. I've waited so long, and this is the time...I know it' he looked sternly at her

'I guess so. But just don't blow our cover, just say it's all hypothetical, alright? So he doesn't get suspicious' Venus picked up a book

'I will. But, this will be our ticket, our ticket to success' he sat down next to her

'Our?' She raised her eyebrows

'Yes...ours. Your apart of this, darling. And you cannot get out of it' he smirked

'And what if I get out of it?' She set the book aside

'Then I will...I will make you regret it' he tensed

'And how?' She challenges

'Let's say....death?' He looked around

She was horrified

'Tom Marvolo Riddle! Are you considering it?' She breathed out

'Depends, are you going to be a traitor?' He asks

They both fell into a silence, her mind was racing

'I'm the only reason your plans have been successful, without me...your nothing but Tom Riddle' she smirks

'I agree, by the way we really should be getting to the meeting' he grabbed her hand and lead her out. They walked down the halls to his little office. He opened the door, they were still in their robes

'Ah! I was hoping when you two would arrive! Come, sit!' He smiled

Venus took her seat to the right of Tom. They all had teacups full of tea, and a biscuit. With all this war with Grindelwald has set food back a bit.

'So, how are you finding your studies?' He asked a random boy 

'Quite fine, thank you sir' the curly boy smiled charmingly

'And you, Tom. How are you holding up?' Slughorn laughs slightly

'Alright, I have everything I need. Even if it is to become a successful sorcerer, with Venus here by my side' he smirks

'And what does Venus have to do with your plans?' Slughorn asks

'Well, we make a good team, sir. She and I work like we are the same people, practically' Tom sipped his tea

'Oh and Venus, you are the first girl to ever make it into the Slug Club! Everyone give her a warm welcome. You will fit right in.' Horace welcomed Venus.

Everyone just stared at Venus, like she was a mudblood. She blushed with embrassment
'Sir, is it true Professor Merrythought is retiring?' Venus asked

'Venus , I couldn't tell you if I knew could I' Slughorn replied laughing

After a while of talking it was getting late. Venus saw Tom pull some pineapple cubes out of his pocket

'Here sir! I got you something' he smiled

'Oh wow! Pineapple!' Slughorn took the pineapple from him

'It's your favourite' Tom explains as Venus looked at him, She felt his hand rest on her thigh. Rubbing it, oh Merlin
