Never As It Seems

"That Riddle's a monster!" she screeched before she obeyed her cousin.

Chelsea shook her hed as she led Rose to sit on the couch. "He's just hurt. We don't know everything aout him. We shouldn't judge people. Then we would e as bad as Potter and his friends if we did." She gently began massaging her wrist making the lood circulate easier. She smiled at Rose. "He just needs someone to reach out to him."

"NOT ME!" said Rose with a laugh.

As Rose's arm became it's natural color, Chelsea looked up. She smiled. "Then I'll just have to try."

"Good luck," said Rose glumly.

Chelsea smiled. She kissed her cousin's cheek then was off to ed.

"See ya!" said Rose as she went to bed.

Chelsea layed awake all night.

~Next morning~

Chelsea rushed to the great hall and at the door she stopped, straightened her robes and walked in silently. At that moment she looked like her brother.

Rose slep in and barely noticed Chelesea leave as she flipped over on her stomach to continue her dream.

Severus looked up from a book he was reading. He was aout to deck Lucius if he didn't shut up.

Rose had a dream that Ravenclaw won the House Cup.

Severus watched as Riddle walked passed his sister and watched a white letter pass between them.

Rose got up and watched the exchange with disgust.

Severus walked over and sat beside Chelsea. "What's this?" he said holding the letter.

Chelsea grabed the letter. "Nothing she lied." She got up and pulled Rose out of the grewat hall and into a secluded room. "Maybe it's not that bad."

~~~ I'm officaly lost~~~ *sits back and watchs with some popcorn*

"What?" asked Rose confused.

Chelsea sat down with Rose. She read the letter and gaped. "No, I can't believe this."

She swallowed hard and said. "I have to pretend to be his....his..." she couldn't say it.

"Girlfriend." Riddle finished from his secluded table.

"Why?" asked Rose.

Riddle looked at Rose. "Do I need a reason?" he asked.

Chelsea stood up and sat in front of Riddle. "How long, Tom."

Riddle arched an eyebrow. "As long as I want."

Chelsea sighed and nodded.

"Oh and make it believable or I'll have second thoughts on our deal." he said.

Chelsea nodded.

"What are you doing Chelsea? Don't let him control you like that," said Rose.
