Chapter  14

It had been two days since I had opened the eggs and have bee trying to figure out a way to let me not die for a hour under water.

I had been searching in the schools library  and haven't found a thing, except  the gillyweed which I know will not agree with me at all.  I don't have a problem  with turning into a fish actually it's the thought of how painful the transformation  can be, and I am not quite sure how long it would take for it to work I only have an hour to look for prize .

But the thing is I'm not that worried about the task, I'm worried  about the damn ball.  Why did we have to go to a stupid dance, I hate dancing. I swear they are trying to torture  me. I was thankful no one asked me out for they would of gotten embarrassed  and made a fool out of themselves when I declined. I had planned on going alone but during breakfast when the announcement  of the ball I got a vision of my date.

I was currently  lounging  in the Slytherin common room bored out of my mind and getting more annoyed by the second with a group of girls sitting in the corner of the common room giggling and glancing at me every now and then. It was painfully obvious  that they were talking about me, I didn't give a flying chicken breast seriously  couldn't they be a little more discreet.

I tried focusing  on the task at hand. Reading a damn book. Who knew it would be so difficult and all because of those bimbos. I tried focusing  on the words but a loud giggle interrupted me once again.

I. sighed and peered over the top of book and poked at the group who didn't even notice that I was looking at them.  The first thing that popped in my grades poorblood  ,it was obvious  with the way they held themselves  and the expensive jewellery  they wore, and not mentioning the fact they have so much makeup o they look like clowns. I vaguely  recognised  one of them as Pansy Parkson. A spoilt pure blood heiress who was infuriated with the Malfoy heir.

Fed up I closed my book and put it down with more force than necessary and stared into the fire. I complemented  if I should get out of here somewhere peaceful  or face them head on. What to do. .....What to do....... What to do....

My train of though was cut off when  the common room  went silent.
I looked up to find the source that made the room quite and saw my father and Professor Riddle walking in with grace in every step. I know lots of people would envy that grace because  I certainly  do.

They had n there sailor back robes they teaches in on but they still liked fancy. My ego is getting deflated by the minute .

They stop n the issue of the room as my father's eyes look across  the crowd of students going as me only to swivel back to me when he noticed I was in the room. He gave me a nod in greeting which I returned .Most of the rooms attention  is on Riddle so no one noticed the silent communication  between my father and myself.

I turned my attention  to him as well curious to why they are here.
Riddle seeing that he has gotten everyone's attention  finally spoke.

"As you all know the ball is on Friday which means you have three days before the dance. You will behave and will not embarrass any of your fellow housemates in front of the other schools and the guest the school will be having am I clear? " his tone was strong dangerous  and left no room for argument.

"There will also be a hogsmade tried for all those who would like to attend they  are welcome to join tomorrow at 9sharp .That is all "and strode out of the door with my father who gestured me to follow. I got up and walked passed the group of giggling girls. Thankful  to be out of there presence.

I made it out of the door just before the door closed and to jog slightly  to keep up with their pace. Why did I have to have short legs I thought to myself

"Father"

"Anastasia. "

Riddle nodded in greeting and slowed down his pace seeing me struggle to keep up with his pace.

Knowing what my father wanted I quickly spoke before I got lectures of what I should wear and who my date should be.

"Do not worry father, my dress is appropriate not to much skin showing and I have a date already. " from the corner of my eye I saw Riddles head whipped in my direction  but I ignored  it "..... Do not worry father he is not in any of the schools. And no I will not be telling you who it is it is a surprise father. Now if you gentlemen  will excuse me I have to prepare my dress. " I quickly spoke giving my father a peck on the cheek before dashing down the hall towards my father's rooms.
