“Dear, are you sure you don’t want us coming with you?” Gloria Molley asked her eleven years old eager daughter.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPmUIwxf8B
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKjnuZUS9j
Ophelia nodded, smiling so widely that she felt her face stretch.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDmQelshiu
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet70GDn30l
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.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHQdzoS9fI

On the morning she received the letter from Hogwarts, Ophelia was eating her breakfast, not excited but not cranky either; just normal.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YhvbhLAaG
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuwQWnsMIc
“What’s this?” Gloria asked, finding a letter specifically sent to Ophelia. “Have you made a pen pal, Pheli?”1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbpi3krobN
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnvsVBOyUm
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.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0xSr582nU

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.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPVv3OUOKu
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiaMf9fJBz
“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.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8MZyQuK6p
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKifvjXu3Qq
At the right moment, Richard Molley walked downstairs and smiled at his daughter. He had something hidden behind but his surprise was cut off.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ronGiApgu
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC27qWaRiYN
“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?”1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinorx5dVgl
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJrCPv1Bel
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.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5m0YGYD3C
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyluNASckhG
“Well, it is strange.”1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9cJc9ROHi
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7MBdP3RXE
“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.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vVJCMZaqX
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaT3dcKzYw
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadXyEUMa2q
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.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlWJGjIxHh
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRPv3WiJwj
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.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgVwmK4C25
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzN3X7nnhyp
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.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bV0IdCEtS
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDDF7NOCxR
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.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTP5K6Clbn
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkEeQAN51c
“You got the hang of it very fast, haven’t you?”1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCeeSPprNp
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRCvtUHE9k
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.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyJPDum4kx
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEP3CjBOrg
But no. It was the man with eyes that could stir something in her, something that has been sleeping for a very long time.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9PLLrCA46
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqlqd8yu1m
“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.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVno6SFcjH4
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDnBvvTY6F
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.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2W5GGM2ha
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcrNzNxQzr
“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.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1FTfriFQD
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQcU6l9CJn
“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.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONlfLLDM4q
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rHmNHYrmZ
“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.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY6VBPnmX7
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj41k30X6PR
“I can help you with that too. You only have to accept it.”1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHO27iGcKox
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2g4Kb7bON5
“I don’t even know who you are or at least your name.” She said naïve enough to believe he would be explicit.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMUIK0DGDz
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBK9bXWTCxN
Those icy eyes of his twinkled bemusedly before he responded.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKs003hKlc
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLA3TdRjqI
“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.”1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9vCEYmTW0
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5BAAmL7HX
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8ae7vzkln
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.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjcH5cB9dd
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxR8tO5koA
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.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCxCJjMJEu
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0awo0o81y
“Diagon Alley. Every student buys his necessities from here.” Tom explained, pulling his cloak over his head.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnrmQdFWm0
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEI0WBH5jX
“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.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MVLBKxeeu
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFwH6MDbfF
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.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEGp598WlW
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULiMJvW6v2
“What now?” She asked, looking at Tom for answers.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNik8PzopGc
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhkPKdVFm4
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.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBdgeFu4dC
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUuvNXeLit
“Is there something wrong?”1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aEhHzPmjb
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtCQf9oILS
Ophelia’s eyes widened even more and she spun around in order to face whoever was behind her.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYYdaV0TUZ
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAIVtu7iC9
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.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5a7c7Szzh
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9fz5ruLHc
“You’re blocking the entrance.” He spoke again, his tone low and empathic.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgJQp2zU58
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbSfej06MM
“What is that?” She asked, seeing how he was the only person she could ask.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpqJnFbgLp
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JrLyuiOIO
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.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVBhBvTgnC
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsZFIDUSj6
“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.”1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRsbPVKSwA
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5v7wCKOpvY
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.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSte5Cb2p7Z
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1hsW2Of6g
“What are muggles?” She asked, making the blond react with even more stupor.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBhwGdiUIK
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejgrzxSzkW
“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?”1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqk4PPRR9S
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVo3FqA7dqq
“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.”1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMr7Eu8mvp
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJzZaF4Qct
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.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnsUviWpOq
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RKqYI6C0Q
“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.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oJuWXVcCl
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7WiCwUQx5
“But I don’t have any right now.” She continued, having no idea what to do.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMScrJ0HKK0
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrP3D3lpiA
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.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PQgYLvPTk
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhD4DeI9Wn
Left all alone, Ophelia moved aside and looked at everyone passing by, with no idea where to go or what to do.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWIXDkDPzc
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2poSO3z0yq
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.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmtxWg4cka
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdJhDOoO46
“Interesting owl, isn’t he?”1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyV4puBCqBu
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3zT8tmL9b
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.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iYVYEVB28
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhzEE3EjBS
“You left me alone in front of the bank.”1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPR8bifhy0
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflDO6yzuha
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. 1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncFYHWRRD2
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66y6eUqDnr
“That owl looked lonely. “ Opelia started, “He looked at me with so much intensity and sadness. It made me feel bad for him.”1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmjhZB4YR9
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6ZlK6pCFn
“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.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccJ4T7aO5l
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtIth3HvKb
“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.1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMtgdRvm4G
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4QqBGndQk
“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.”1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHW3JF6pil
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbByOBAWNv
“But what about the other stuff and-“ She stopped when she realized he already vanished from her side.
