I gave Lestrange a name, Carter. Because he doesn't have one in the books.

Recap:

"Where are you planning to go for spring break?" Amelia asks

"I'm not sure. Probably staying at Hogwarts," I tell her

"Well, my parents are willing to invite some friends. You in?" Lestrange asks

Present:

Y/N's POV:

"Um..." I said looking at Tom

"Tom is going if you're wondering," Amelia says with a cheeky smile "Peony and Daisy are going too,"

"I suppose I'll go too," I tell them 

Spring Break (2 Weeks Later, Last Week of March):

Y/N's POV:

"Come on Y/N! We're going to miss the train!" Amelia says holding her luggage

"Hold on!" I tell her, I then pull my luggage, this was my first time staying at someone's house beside the Weasleys, as I exited the dorm someone grabbed my luggage, it was Tom

"I'll carry it, don't want your fragile body to break..." he smiles slyly

"Jerk!" I said hitting him playfully, we then sat on a carriage to the train station, and we chose a compartment to sit in. Tom placed my luggage on the shelves above the seats, and we all sat down with a sigh of relief

"So what does your manor look like?" Daisy asks curiously

"Oh, nothing much..." he says

"He's being humble, the house is absolutely gorgeous," Amelia says, Lestrange sighs and took out a black and white picture of his house, my jaw dropped

"That's your house?" Peony was shocked

"I mean what do you expect sister? He's a pure-blood," Daisy says

A woman walked over to us with a trolley full of candy.

"Anything from the trolley dears?" she asks politely

"My treat," Lestrange offers, and everyone's face brightens "I'll take Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans,"

"A couple of peppermint toads," Amelia says

"Pumpkin pasty," Peony says

"Salt water taffy," Daisy says excitedly

"Pink coconut ice," I said

"Toffee," Tom says

The nice lady handed us the candy and Lestrange paid her the right amount. She then left to ask other students if they wanted anything from the trolley. Lestrange ate a bean and made a disgusted face.

"Ugh! That was the liver-flavored one," he says, Amelia handed him a napkin and he spits it out "Well, time to try another one,"

He pops another one in his mouth and this time he was satisfied. I ate pink coconut ice. I looked outside the window, the view was beautiful. The flowers on the tree just started growing. I smiled.

"Seeing something you like?" Tom asks

"Nothing, just admiring the flowers on the trees outside..." I tell him

"What flowers are those?" he asked

"It's a crab apple tree," I tell him as I looked at him

"Well...Aren't you going to tell me the meaning?" he asks

"It symbolizes fertility. The crab apple tree is associated with love and marriage," I tell him, he then leans close to my face, and I cleared my voice

"Tom...We're in public," I whispered in his ear, he then cleared his voice and leaned away 

"Right..." he says

Later in the Day:

Y/N's POV:

We arrived at Lestrange's home. We entered his manor and some house elves took our luggage.

"Thank you, Jangles and Bernard," Lestrange says, we then see two people enter, whom I assumed were Lestranges parents

"Welcome back Carter," his parents greeted him. The woman was tall and lean, her cheekbones were prominent, and had straight jet-black hair. The man was also tall, his jawline was sharp, and he had wavy brown hair that is shoulder length

"Mother, Father, this is my girlfriend, Amelia Whittle. And my friends, Tom Riddle, Y/N L/N, and Daisy and Peony Parker," Lestrange introduces us

"It's nice to meet you all, I'm afraid that we only have two guest bedrooms since half of the house is being renovated. So you'll have to share," his mother speaks in a calm and gentle tone

"Understood mother," Lestrange says

"Off you go doing teenage things. Supper is at 6 pm sharp. And I expect to talk with you and Ms. Amelia after supper," she says, we then all walked upstairs to the guest bedrooms

"Your father is a man with few words," Peony points out

"He is quiet," Lestrange says "Often because my mother has him wrapped around her finger. So I'm sharing a room with Amelia, Daisy and Peony are sharing a room. And Y/N and Tom,"

I'm sharing a room with Tom. My ears turned slightly red and hot. Lestrange then showed us the bedroom that Tom and I would be sharing. It was nicely decorated with green tapestries and some bits of gold. The window had a beautiful view of the garden and the lake. And there were two beds, with comfortable pillows and blankets. I sighed in relief.

"Is everything alright?" Tom asks me

"Um...Yes! Everything is fine," I tell him, I then saw my luggage next to one of the beds that were closer to the window. I then pressed my face against the window to see the view "It's beautiful..."

"More beautiful than me?" Tom asks jokingly

"Of course," I said teasing him, he then pouted a bit, I then hugged him "I'm just kidding, you're beautiful,"

I looked at the clock next to the bed and saw that it was only 4 pm. 

"Y/N! Riddle! Come one! Lestrange is going to show us around outside!" I hear Peony shouting from the hallway, I then held Toms's hand and we walked outside to the garden

"These are my father's prized Daffodils," he explains "They always win first in the muggle village nearby,"

"You take part in muggle events?" Peony asks

"My parents aren't quite fond of muggles but they are interested in their technology and traditions. Not your typical Slytherin parents," he tells us "Also because he have magic to keep them in good shape which always helps us beat the muggles,"

"The lake over there has fish, but you want to be careful near the lake, there are some Vipera berus, they're poisonous, so I highly suggest staying away from the lake," he tells us

I looked at Tom. And Tom looked at me. We both know that we won't have a problem with that since Tom can speak parseltongue. We continued to walk around the garden, I then saw a small flower wilting. I know I wasn't allowed to use magic when in muggle areas. 6 pm rolled around and we headed back into the manor.
