“Dear, are you sure you don’t want us coming with you?” Gloria Molley asked her eleven years old eager daughter.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14l9Pk0Kf5
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBoKEUZc2f
Ophelia nodded, smiling so widely that she felt her face stretch.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqE9lZBpen
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WgAipwfhF
Truthfully, Ophelia Molley has never felt so excited about something in her life before. Her memories concerning her real mother have grown vague and insignificant. She could still remember Lillian’s name and face but she could hardly remember how she sounded like when speaking or the things she did for her daughter. Ophelia spent three years in the orphanage before Gloria and Richard Molley adopted her and even though she didn’t want to leave and start a new life, Dumbledore’s words encouraged her to move forward. Life with her new family was greater than she ever imagined and when she became aware of her unique set of skills, her life became significant.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQKPj53udm

On the morning she received the letter from Hogwarts, Ophelia was eating her breakfast, not excited but not cranky either; just normal.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp087iErtVk
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuRUeCJSCV
“What’s this?” Gloria asked, finding a letter specifically sent to Ophelia. “Have you made a pen pal, Pheli?”1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3HwnGZ9fT
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14PJ8h7VPD
The girl looked at her mother, confused before jumping on her feet and taking the letter. She read the first few paragraphs before she remembered the man in the park. She could never forget that pale face that felt so familiar, those cold eyes that made her feel cornered even if she could run away whenever she wanted to and the way he grew flowers in the air with what looked like a weirdly shaped stick.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbyso9AjHa

Gloria snatched the page from Ophelia and read it twice, each time her eyes peeking over the parchment to see how Ophelia was reacting. She wasn’t. That letter meant much more than anyone could imagine and the one thing she noticed right away was the name of the headmaster: Albus Dumbledore. That was the man that reached out to her and helped her when her mother died and he was the one sending her the best present as of yet.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMTqkGJ0yK
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxE696JfoH
“Where do these people live? Such peculiar stuff can’t be found on the streets of Britain. Maybe a hundred years ago but not anymore.” Gloria added, her ramble going on and on if someone wouldn’t interfere.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3STFIMp0le
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7hEl6iTHO
At the right moment, Richard Molley walked downstairs and smiled at his daughter. He had something hidden behind but his surprise was cut off.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOx7I3ywlB4
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOTuS0Dkhd
“Richard dear, Ophelia got a letter from a place called Hogwarts. It says here that it is a school for young witches and wizards. Have you signed her up for something and didn’t tell me beforehand? Again?”1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQc9XwPnnI
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfE8aVsW9f
Richard looked very offended by his wife’s incrimination but curiosity led him to find out what was happening. He walked passed his daughter and placed her present on the table before reading the letter. Much like Gloria, his eyes widened and he had to read it a few more times to fully comprehend it was real.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjf5V48eR7
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALdbi8lmTj
“Well, it is strange.”1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAER7z3D23
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSswgZDStSv
“I know the headmaster.” Ophelia interrupted before the two adults would say something bad. “Albus Dumbledore, he visited me in the orphanage before. I’m sure he wouldn’t send a joke to me on my birthday.” She added, lying before worrying the Molleys further.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgcOw4zsvM
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv9aQvDxeN
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC4y6QCPR1
It took Gloria a whole week to calm down and understand that her daughter truly wanted something in her life and nothing could change her mind. Richard used his connections to the Scotland Yard in order to find more information about Hogwarts but no one knew anything.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dnaaxis4C
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKY2NLaeEE
Unfortunately, that led to a very ugly fight between Gloria and Richard, dispute that forced Ophelia to sneak out and wander the neighborhood on her own, at dawn.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxyKxzq5bK
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6iiYTJ8OU
The sunlight was dimming and the twilight was incredibly beautiful. Ophelia ended up in a newly renovated bus stop. It was a bit chilly but very comfortable outside making her feel content that she found a place where she could be by herself.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl6jJVZazH
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy81mFf3RQC
Now, after looking from side to side, making sure no one was walking by, Ophelia raised her hands in front of her and swayed them graciously. Sparkles of blue light were following her hands, moving cutely into different shapes when moving her fingers. She smiled, drawn into the magic she was doing. Yes, now she knew it was magic.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80IldPQKjV
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkO55g6jNt
“You got the hang of it very fast, haven’t you?”1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EaSOFKjcn
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAKdhj4QPx
Ophelia’s eyes widened and the shapes vanished. She looked around, scared that someone actually saw her and would probably call her out on it.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVzDOkMEW8
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8zNGA8vlF
But no. It was the man with eyes that could stir something in her, something that has been sleeping for a very long time.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6Wt7RoDTi
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyGRLzWnK3
“I know you. We met last year in the park. You were right, I can do things that my parents can’t. It’s amazing!” She said, a wide smile appearing on her face.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DOS0O300s
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbaYnOL5fF
For a second, the pale man felt the desire to see Ophelia dead. The reason was her smile, which looked the same as Lillian’s but then he saw the glint in her eyes and knew it was up to him to lead Ophelia towards the right path.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaD19sZEmS
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNqDxbeOFN
“I got a letter from a school called Hogwarts. My parents are fighting right now; my mum wants me to go because she thinks it would make me happy.” She started, the pale man sitting next to her.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPntzeZ3ZTI
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TXOlaE592
“You should go. Hogwarts is a good start for you. They will teach you everything you need to know and I can even help you, if you want it of course.” Those gentle words didn’t sound as gentle, especially when his eyes met hers.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6m4sa6jdd0
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOD2zO5GVoN
“But what about the necessities and reply? I don’t have an owl and-“ She stopped when the handsome stranger opened his hand towards her.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDu0OIDlAc5
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3NZuNDDT4
“I can help you with that too. You only have to accept it.”1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdO8qqN5Gh
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxLf9Ajhzs
“I don’t even know who you are or at least your name.” She said naïve enough to believe he would be explicit.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VSWmGJEwV
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYyCGxwDgZ
Those icy eyes of his twinkled bemusedly before he responded.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7FHDSoPha
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQImG4i2bOY
“You and I, we’re the same, Ophelia. We belong to a world far above what usual people can see. We have magic; old, strong magic and we can do wonders with it. You just have to trust me.”1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WuRQLiDhg
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBW7KapzSa4
Those words were only the beginning of what Tom Riddle was about to create. Oh, he was going to craft Ophelia into his heir and he was sure he would not meet any defense because Ophelia’s desire and curiosity for unknown were going to lead her right into his nest.
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNPYvtS5Qk
Ophelia Molley has always been a girl who thought that nothing in the world could make her squeal in delight, not after her childhood has been engulfed in uncertainties. Once she grabbed Tom’s hand, she felt like her world slimmed and felt her stomach turn upside down. Her surroundings passed by incredibly fast and when they finally stopped, Tom pushed her forward and let her see the world she was part of.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcqX0AG7ry
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbunE9Cqgl
There were shops selling robes, shops selling telescopes and strange silver instruments Ophelia had never seen before, windows stacked with barrels of bat spleens and eels' eyes, tottering piles of spell books, quills, and rolls of parchment, potion bottles, globes of the moon and other stuff that she could not even name.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9688DHhSO0
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuYq7Qvk1T
“Diagon Alley. Every student buys his necessities from here.” Tom explained, pulling his cloak over his head.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAE5G8b3iQG
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Qtq89DZSE
“But what about money? I don’t have any right now and-“She stopped when she saw Tom putting his finger on his lips as a gesture to shut up.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlr7tINJuhn
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NONnfICqC
Tom smirked under his cloak, assured that Lillian definitely left her daughter enough for a comfortable life. Therefore, he led her towards a magnificent building down the northern part of Diagon Alley. Ophelia’s eyes widened when they got in front of it and gasped when she saw someone very small, about a few inches smaller than her, standing at the door.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMThr0j9HU
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbilYr5hVz
“What now?” She asked, looking at Tom for answers.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Gub0K0W6L
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRQoimvIz6
But the man vanished. Ophelia licked her lips and fidgeted nervously, afraid that something will happen and she won’t be able to get out, like back in Aviemore.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngRHr1XuKP
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5M6F6LQsn
“Is there something wrong?”1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVh0vB6X4Z
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7bJdnAPR6
Ophelia’s eyes widened even more and she spun around in order to face whoever was behind her.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBoVWXunAX
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJAMnldCS0
Unlike what she imagined, it was a boy older than her with grey eyes and long blond hair. He was looking down at her with some kind of authority which was strange because he didn’t look that important. No one around them seemed to pay attention to him.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP15zJRWOp
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ94sT8KIb7
“You’re blocking the entrance.” He spoke again, his tone low and empathic.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV7Ob0Yci7
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeOfjP28Ra
“What is that?” She asked, seeing how he was the only person she could ask.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj9CHX2EWx
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgMlYQAbfk
The blond raised an eyebrow, a bit appalled by this little girl in front of him. His eyes narrowed at her, scanning her face thoroughly. Those elongated pale green eyes made her look like a fox but at the moment, she looked scared.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCeStnh6J6
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk9ykls14X
“Are you a mud blood?” He asked, leaning in. “You know, muggle born. You woke up one day and you could make things that others around you couldn’t.”1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcxTd4bsn5
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcJw9GqqS1
Ophelia blinked, her eyes’ glint shifting from fear to confusion and curiosity. She nodded slowly, unsure if she should take that as a good sign or not.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEDtHkj1R2
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQFlPfZjrm
“What are muggles?” She asked, making the blond react with even more stupor.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShK2yguWS3
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZAv88HwE4
“Where have you been living?!” He exclaimed, “Muggles are people with no magic. Mud bloods are witches and wizards born from muggle parents. There’s also half bloods which are wizards born from a muggle and a witch/wizard. And then, there are people like me, pure bloods, born from both magical parents. Now, which one are you?”1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKG3kUmgt9
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TQBg6nnXi
“I don’t know. I came here with-“ Ophelia stopped, realizing the stranger never told her his name. She groaned, frustrated that she let such an important detail bypass her. “He said he’s like me. That our magic is old and strong.”1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6QDbcyqBO
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk9XVxjDqT
The blond leaned back and seized the little girl up. She was probably eleven years old and she came to buy her stuff for Hogwarts. Her hands were empty and she was dressed in light clothing, didn’t have a wand and looked thoroughly like a lost puppy.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvknLY3zh2Q
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3TfuntJLz
“That’s Gringotts Wizarding Bank. You can exchange currencies from muggle money to wizarding money.” He explained, his tone still empathic and still looking down at her from the corner of his eye, like she was a pest.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCzrZigL8m
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rI6v89T9O
“But I don’t have any right now.” She continued, having no idea what to do.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tXGtaLLhh
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡku9UTRnlRv
The blond sighed and nudged her aside, “Then don’t block the entrance, stupid mud blood.” He grumbled, walking up the stairs and entering the bank.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaimbd7LvH
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Eezodcf5L
Left all alone, Ophelia moved aside and looked at everyone passing by, with no idea where to go or what to do.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xN6nV2YIH
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiSCz3iZXq
It was a few hours later when she found herself in front of a shop called Eeylops Owl Emporium. She peeked inside and smiled when a brown sharp looking owl turned and stared right into her eyes. Those black eyes of his seemed to be speaking to her so she entered and went straight to him.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu7c4Fzv6O
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwGXvSJxeq
“Interesting owl, isn’t he?”1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpJpR0dJIg
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFFqaIrfUZ
Ophelia felt her heart beat out of her chest when she felt a cold hand touching her shoulder. She looked up at him and frowned.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9GDJP4lSR
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nZ0E0VuKu
“You left me alone in front of the bank.”1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSY9LRziRa
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJt5hdE0Lt
Tom couldn’t help but chuckle lightly. She was frustrated and was finding him strange and a bit suspicious but she still followed him out of the store. 1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboICRPbz4e
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVbA76pL9u
“That owl looked lonely. “ Opelia started, “He looked at me with so much intensity and sadness. It made me feel bad for him.”1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm73HjfCul
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoFDXODdFx
“You do need an owl. Sometimes, they choose you to be their master. Owls can be very loyal if they get attached to their master.” Tom explained, his mind going back to Lillian’s white owl that vanished from the face of the earth. “Some choose to die when their master dies.” He continued.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhSao5BCWV
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf10RC3jbK
“Well, that one looked like he would just fly away if his master dies. He looked independent but lonely.” She said, her eyes following a pair of children her age that were running with sticks in their hands. “What are those sticks for?” She asked, stopping when Tom did.1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FTGh2o86Q
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qlEUWFfXR
“Here.” He gave her a few gold coins before pointing at the store across the street. “These are enough for a wand. Afterwards, I will take you home. It’s getting late.”1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNoUVdGCER
1496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fnKaiWZEf
“But what about the other stuff and-“ She stopped when she realized he already vanished from her side.
