Unknown Riddle

Chapter Five

"Wow, this-" stumbling at a lose for words I tried to take in my surroundings. "This is beautiful." I smiled looking back at him.

"Anything for you, princess." Draco placed a smiling kiss onto my forehead as my body fold perfectly into his. His strong arms wrapped around my waist shooting electricity through me. Every spot he touched burned, and every spot he didn't yearned to feel the burn of his skin.

"Scarlett!" A sharp voice rang through my ears as I felt the sensation of being shaking. Prying my eyes open I looked into the blue eyes hover above me. "You missed potions again, Scar. You need to actually attended class." Kalena stated. Snape is beyond pissed." A sassy smirk grew on her lips, her voice deepened making her sound like a total git. "Miss Riddle must take her classes more seriously. Her father will not be impressed. This is her first and final warning." At the last word, she began laughing and declaring. "Oh, you should have seen his face when he said it though!"

Nodding, "I bet it was hilarious," I forced myself to smile.

"What's wrong with you? You aren't speaking to anybody, you haven't smart-mouthed that gobshite Malfoy in weeks!" She declared. "It doesn't take a genius to see something's wrong."

Ignoring her with a shrug. My attention shifting to the body of water my feet were in. I watched endless ripples course over the surface of the water. The shadowy depths were said to hide many creatures. Blues and greens swirled together, infusing into the murky brown pooled out before me.

"He expects to much," I sighed, leaning back onto the hardwood.

A small smile appeared on Kalena's. "Don't they all," It was more of a statement then a question. "What the hell even happened when you saw him? It's been a month, Scarlett. What happened?"

Turning her body to me, her face hardening.

"I don't want to be mean to Draco," As the words came out I felt disappointed in myself. "I have to, Hale. It's either that or he die's. My father will kill anyone who distracts me."

Nodding her blonde head she didn't say anything back. Letting the silence surround us my body began to relax.

I hadn't gone to class for the past two days and guess who comes to 'talk' to me, more like a lecture, Mr. Severus Snape. Draco has knocked on my door a few times over the past couple of days, but he gets no response. He is a distraction, and distractions will be killed. Kalena comes by before her first class, at lunch, and once all her work is finished.

Snape has been lecturing me for nearly two hours now. "I can not believe you, Scarlett, how irresponsible you have been. You are a Slytherin prefect, you can not just skip class whenever you please. The lord will not be impressed with your behaviour-"

"You will not tell my father anything if your life means anything to you. Do you understand me, Severus?" This foul git thinks he can threaten me?

"Excuse me?" The old grease ball seemed taken back.

I couldn't stop myself from smirking. "You heard me. No one tells on a Riddle and lives. Have you not learned that yet, Professor? You think you can threaten me," I pulled out my ivory wand, pressing it against Snape's throat. "You think you can threaten Scarlett Riddle? My father's servants better learn their place. They do not tell me what to do. Do you understand me?"

Snape was frozen with fear but his voice still calm. "Yes, my lady."

"Good," I removed my wand, slipping it back into the waist of my pants.

After Snape's lovely visit I decided to attend my afternoon classes. I sat silently in Transfiguration, McGonagall was talking about turning a frog into a chair or something. Once class was over Kalena and I packed up and started towards the great hall for a snack and to do homework.
