Colette and Tom started to date for about a month until that is things started to go wrong.

Colette had this sinking feeling that something bad was happening at Hogwarts.

Everyone had become concerned for a girl called Myrtle who hadn't been seen all day.

The teachers had asked the students if anyone has seen her or perhaps know where she is to tell them Immediately.

But nobody knew.. Where she was.. Not even her friends.  Teachers were becoming growingly concerned for her.

Colette was angry that it was all getting brushed under the carpet because they had thought that she maybe needed time on her own and she would return when she was ready.

So the teachers thought it was a good idea to continue classes.

Colette was sat with Tom in defence against the dark arts unable to concentrate.

Colette put up her hand. "Please can I go to the bathroom please sir?."

The old professor nodded. "Very well.. As long as you're quick."

Tom watched as she left.. He was worried about her. So he decided to follow her.

He raised his hand. "I forgot one of my books back in the common room sir.."

The old professor sighs. "I really wish you would be more organised Riddle.. Very well come back quickly no dallying!."

Colette walked down the corridor to the girls bathroom and Tom had just about caught up with her.

He grabbed her arm. "I wouldn't go in there if I were you."

Colette frowns. "What do you mean?."

He swallows. "I mean.. You might not like what you find."

Colette looked at him clearly confused. He grabbed her and his her as Teachers came past them holding something.

Colette's eyes widen. "What the hell's happened?.. Come on let's follow them."

Tom tried to stop her. "Colette wait!."

He runs off after her and finally they arrive at the main staircase to the great hall.

Colette realised that the people were carrying a stretcher.

Colette looked at Tom. "It's Myrtle isn't it?."

Tom nodded. "Come with me.. I have to tell you something."

He walked back toward the girls bathroom with Colette.

Colette looks at him horrified. "Tom you can't go in there it's a girls bathroom.. Besides it might be a crime scene or something."

He looks at her. "Does it look like I care?."

Colette sighs. "You said you had something to tell me?."

He raised his hand to his lips. "All in good time.."
He walked towards the sinks in the bathroom.
Tom started to speak in a different language and all of a sudden the roof of the sinks came apart and the sinks separated too leaving a small hole in the ground.

Tom looked at her. "Go on.. Jump in.. It's perfectly safe.."

Colette looked down. "You're kidding me aren't you.."

He grinned and then pushed her down the hole.

She slid down so fast. It was like being on a roller coaster.

When she got to the end of the slide, She stood up and dusted herself off.

She turned around to see Tom had come down too. "Tom it's awfully dusty down here.."

He gestured to get to continue walking and suddenly she was forced to stop herself in her tracks. "Is that a snake?."

He walks past it without a care in the world. "Snakes skin actually.."

Colette shook her head. "Oh come on!.. I know you take Slytherin seriously and all and so do I but.. This is a little bit excessive."

He grinned at her and took her hand. "Come on."

They came across a brown door that had a snake on it.

Tom spoke a different language again and this time the snake came alive and opened each locks of the door.

They climbed down a ladder to the bottom where they came across a long corridor. Everything was green and at the bottom of the corridor was a massive marbled face.

They stood in front of that face and Colette looked at Tom, Her heart racing. "Tom what is it you have to tell me?.. You're scaring me now."

Tom swallowed. "The thing is.. I knew that Myrtle was already dead."

Colette frowned. "I.. I don't understand."

He looked at the floor. "I know because it was me that killed her."

She took a few steps back and stumbled backwards into a pool of water. "You.. It was you?."

He nodded. "I'm sorry I had too.."

Colette shook her head. "No you didn't.."

He shrugged."You hated her anyway.."

Colette strutters. "I didn't hate her.. I just found her a bit wierd that's all but that doesn't mean you can kill her.."

He sighs. "Colette.. If it wasn't her.. It would be someone else."

Colette nodded taking that answer in. "Right.. Then I'm guessing it's all to do with this place.."

He nodded. "Yeah.. Colette you have every right to be angry with me."

Colette got up and pushed him. "Damn right I'm angry.. After everything that Poseidon and Cole have put me through lately and I thought I could trust you.. I guess I was wrong."

She turned to walk back where she came from.

He yells out. "Colette I did it for you. I found out that killing people helps to make a horcrux."

Colette turned around and stamped angrily toward him. "Don't you dare make out you did this for me!.. What the heck is a horcrux anyway?."

He looks at her sadly and begins to explain: "A Horcrux is a powerful object in which a Dark wizard or witch has hidden a fragment of his or her soul for the purpose of attaining immortality. Creating one Horcrux gave one the ability to anchor one's own soul to earth if the body was destroyed. .."

Colette nodded. "I should've known.. All you've ever cared about is yourself.."

He shook his head. "Colette that's not true.. I wanted you to join me, I'm gonna raise an army and become the greatest sorcerer in the world."

Colette snorts. "And how the hell are you going to achieve that?."

He smiles. "I'll make myself a new name, A name that people will one day fear.. Lord Voldemort.. But I can't do it without you."

Colette blinks. "Wait.. You want me to join you?.."

He nodded. "I love you.. "

Colette shook her head. "You should've thought about that before you killed myrtle... No I won't join you.. I won't stand there while I watch you kill more people."

She sighs. "What we had was fun.. We pranked people and all with the leg locker curse but that's all it ever should've been.. It's all gone too far."

He yells after her as she walks away. "Fine.. I'll do it with or without you.. I have you a chance to be part of something brillant.."

Colette ignored him and pulled her wand from her cloak. "Accio Broomstick."

A broomstick from the cloakroom appeared before her. She climbed on and hovered for a moment taking one last look at Tom. "I promise you'll regret this.."

He yells out just before she turned to leave. "Myrtle isn't the first person I've killed.. I killed my father and Grandfather too."

She looks at him. "I guess I'm better off out of it all then.. How long before you kill me too."

He shook his head. "I'd never do that.."

She snorted. "No of course you wouldn't.." She flew off and set a course for Dippet's office."

She was there Ten minutes later only to find that Tom had beaten her to it.
Professor Dumbledore was there with Headmaster Dippet.

Dippet smiled at Colette as she walked through the door and closed it. "Ah Colette.. You're just in time.. You're fellow housemate Tom here has just been awarded a special award for the services to the school."

She looks at Tom angrily. "What have you done?."

He smiled cockily. "I caught Myrtles murderer and the person who opened the chamber of secrets."

Dippet smiled proudly. "He did of course.. Although very sad business that it turned out to be Hagrid of course.."

Colette looked at Tom in shock. She knew the truth of course. "What happened to Hagrid?."

Dippet looked at Colette frowning. "His wand was taken away of course and expelled from the school.. Why do you ask?."

Colette took a deep breath.. It was now or never.. "It wasn't Hagrid.. It was Tom."

Professor Dumbledore spoke out. "That's a pretty big accusation to make.. Do you have any proof?."

Colette shook her head. "No.. Aside from his confession to me that is.."

Dippet looked old and frail when he heard the news. "This is terrible business Dumbledore.. Good job I'm retiring and leaving the school in your capable hands."

They nodded at each other and Dippet left.
Dumbledore looked at Tom. "Wait outside please Tom."

Tom looked at her angrily and left the room.

Professor Dumbledore was now headmaster and took his seat. "In light of recent events perhaps you should take some leave.."

Colette gasps. "You're expelling me?."

He shook his head. "No.. I am simple saying you aren't ready to be a part of this school yet.. You're welcome to come back when Harry starts school of course."

He added. "And it's perhaps time you think about whether or not you what to be in slytherin of course."

Colette nodded. "Thank you Professor.."

Colette left the office and went to the common room to get her stuff.

Tom was of course following her and getting his things too.

They met in the main common room with both their bags packed.

He smiled at her. "I'm not angry with you.."

She shrugged. "You're face in that office said otherwise..Where are you going?."

He grinned. "I'm leaving to conquer the world of course.."

He smiled. "Good luck with that because I won't be part of it.."

He mutters to himself. "Yes you made that pretty clear.."

Colette left the castle to take the train whilst Tom took his own route.

Colette realised Two people was leaving the castle that night.. Two people on completely different pasts..

She felt proud that she turned down the chance to work with evil and hoped the same would happen with the whole thing that was happening with Cole..

Maybe there was hope after all..
