I haven't been on the computer for a long time and I'm sorry for that. So, yeah... This is just a random story that I thought of one day, just randomly. I'm glad to say that this story is not that bad. I hope you like my story!
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, J.K. Rolling does.
In my pockets were what I considered my life, those little trinkets and things. To say that I wasn't scared, would be a lie, but there was something hidden underneath that. It was a book, a book that only my eyes could read and it was called 'forgotten', like those little trinkets and things in my pockets. If I had lost anything that I had in my pockets it would be as if I had lost a part of my life. Those trinkets and things were almost all I had left, after everyone I liked died. I cannot cry, it makes me look weak. I cannot smile, it reminds me of what happened to those I liked.
It has been a while since the Dark Lord had taken over, though I wasn't found, well, not yet anyway. I hoped that I wouldn't be found, because I held the key to greatness, literally. I also held many other things that were of great importance. It made sense for them to look for me, since they did kill the rest of my family. I hoped that my shadows would hide me, as they did before, though my shadows wouldn't listen to me, they wouldn't come near me even though they were mine. They've been like that ever since the Dark Lord had taken over, I really need them right now.
My name is unimportant at this moment, though I will say it when it is necessary. I have yet to show many things that would be needed, though they are not quite so useless as I would have thought. I am not what most people think of when it comes to a powerful weapon, after all I am lost without my pockets.
I had been hiding for most of my life, realizing that I should have had a normal life instead of one where I hardly ever see the sun. It is true that almost all I have is my pockets, that are filled with little trinkets and things. I don't have much of a life, but I sort of like it. Though I don't know many people, I feel like I could change the world, but I guess that that is just a fantasy, until today that is.
~~~~~~(I am not who I seem)~~~~~~
I was outside during the day, which was very uncommon for me. I must have looked weird as I was as pale as a ghost, which I check to make sure every single day. My long dark brown hair was tied up in an odd way, like always with the ribbon in the front. My strange color-changing eyes, which would only be green, blue and gray, were brighter than usual today. I felt more alive today than any other, I was positively beaming.
I had been annoyed at my foolish grandparents, for raising me this way. I had escaped the torture of being taught magic that I have already learned years before, though it was not that bad. I wanted to be found, that is until I had remembered a spell that I had learned without the help of my elderly grandparents, a spell that was apparently too 'dark' for my grandparents to teach me. I used the spell on my self, easily making myself a four year old, though it would be a little weird for me to act as a four year old. My eyes sparkled as I romped around, I had made my clothes small enough to fit me.
My smile instantly turned into a frown when I was hit with a curse, directly in the chest. I had forgotten about my mum's time turner that was hit by the killing curse, I felt like time was slipping away from me. I landed in a random street, in a random building, thank merlin that nobody was there to see me. I opened the door in front of me, only to see the street. I knew I was lost, but it was most definitely the only explanation I had for this. I walked for a while on the street, having people stare at me, which confused me even more. I was as confused as ever when I bumped into an old woman.
"Excuse me, but what is today's date?" I asked in a polite sweet tone to the old woman, who turned to look at me.
"You don't know?" the old woman asked in surprise, "Why, today is July 18th 1943." I must have been looking shocked, since she frowned at me. I turned and walked away, thinking the old woman was crazy, though, I changed my mind when I saw a newspaper on the ground, that said that today was July 18th 1943. I might have been thought as crazy, when I walked farther down the street, my long dark brown hair almost black up in a weird way, the sun was bothering my eyes so I put my hand over my eyes, since I wasn't used to the sunlight yet. When my eyes adjusted I could feel people staring at me more intensely, not that it bothered me, though I wasn't really used to the staring. I was a 'four' year old girl, who was wearing her hair up weird, who was wearing a weird type of dress, who was as pale as a ghost.
I wandered until I saw a building that said orphanage and waited until nighttime to knock on the door. When I knocked on the door, a woman that was possibly in her thirties opened the door. She reminded me of someone I knew, making me cry.
"Um... Hello there. Are you lost?" the woman asked. I tried to stop crying, but I couldn't if I was looking at her.
"No..." I lied through sobs, "I think I was walking home, but when I got there, it was gone. I didn't see Mummy or Daddy." The last sentence was true, but it sounded like a lie. The woman looked at me, as if she had too many children to deal with and didn't want me here, but my cuteness was changing her mind. I mean, a cute little crying four year old girl knocking on someone's door would make them feel sorry enough to let her in.
"Ida, there's a little girl at the door, do you think there is room for her?" the woman said to someone that was inside the building. I looked away, showing the woman how oddly my hair was tied up, not even caring that she was confused. I turned around and walked towards the street, thinking over my plans. I took out my sister's wand and transfigured it into a stuffed rabbit, I was acting as a four year old girl, wasn't I. I walked back clutching the stuffed rabbit, wiping my face. My running towards the street must have confused the woman, since the odd look on her face.
"I left my rabbit on the street and went to go get it." I explained. The woman nodded and look back into the building. The other woman was there, she looked younger than the woman who was in front of me.
"Yes, we have room for another child, Lisa." the younger woman answered.
"Good." the older woman said turning towards me, "Child, you will call me Ms. Gertrude."
"Name's are unimportant." I murmured in a very low voice.
"What did you say?" Ms. Gertrude asked, glaring at me.
"Nothing, really." I said, "It doesn't really matter. It wasn't mean or anything, Ms. Gertrude." Ms. Gertrude smiled and turned towards the younger woman.
"See, she isn't disrespectful. She's a good girl." Ms. Gertrude said. I looked at the rabbit and smiled, I'm in.
"I'm in, isn't that great Mr. Hopkins?" I said to my rabbit, aloud. That had caused the two women to turn towards me, with shock written all over their faces. I clamped my hand over my mouth, not at all embarrassed, but angry at myself for saying that aloud. They let me in anyway, thank merlin. I was about to think that I was going to stay outside until the morning but, I couldn't take the sunlight, it was much to bright for me.
They brought me to a room and told me that this room was now mine, and told me that there was a bath downstairs and that I could use it. They also gave me some clothes, since I didn't seem like I had any other clothes on me, thank merlin the clothes were my size. I decided to roam around, even though I knew I was going to get lost I left the room anyway.
I wasn't far from my room when I bumped into someone. He was tall, lean, had blue eyes, and black hair. He was confused when he bumped into me, because he didn't see me. I didn't let anything escape from my mouth as I hit the floor with a thud.
"Is someone there?" He asked. I watched as he stared at me. He was shocked for a second, but then chuckled.
"I am." I said raising my hand.
"Well, you should watch your back then." He said.
"I have no reason to." I said, "I'm perfectly fine on my own, but thank you for worrying about me." The teenage boy looked at me for a second.
"You..." He started, "Who are you?" I smiled.
"My name is unimportant at the moment, though I would tell you if you said your name first." I said, my smile turning into a casual smirk, "I have to know your name before you know mine."
"I'm Tom Riddle." the teenage boy said. I nodded and looked around for anybody, but upon seeing no one, I smirked.
"I'm Juliet..." I started, thinking of a good made up last name, "Juliet Harper." Tom Riddle nodded. I was about to turn and walk away, when I stopped. I looked back at Riddle.
"My name is a secret, so don't tell anyone about it, Tom Riddle." I said, "If it is figured out, I would want you to watch your back." I didn't look back as I walked back to my room, which I found on the first try. I smiled as I changed into the nightgown and fell asleep in the bed.
~~~~~~(I am not who I seem)~~~~~~
When I woke that next morning, I started to cry due to my predicament that I found myself in. I heard a knock on the door after I finished getting dressed and put my hair up in a different way then yesterday. I opened my door, to a teenage girl who had blond curly hair and blue eyes.
"Um... I was told to show you around but, they didn't tell me your name..." the girl said, "What is your name?" I took my stuffed rabbit and smiled at her.
"Juliet." I said pointing to myself then to the stuffed rabbit in my arms, "Mr. Hopkins." The girl nodded.
"I'm Elsie." the teenage girl said pointing to herself. I simply detest a stupid name like hers, it's so... So... So boring. She brought me to the kitchen, talked about a lot of things, but I ignored most of what she said, it was simply boring. When we got to the kitchen and I saw all the tables, most of them full and only one completely empty, of people. I was shy, so I sat down at the empty table, when Elsie saw where I sat down she looked shocked.
"You can't sit there." Elsie said, "That's Riddle's table, his seat." I blinked, but put my mask back on, my mask of no emotion. Speak of the devil, there's Riddle right now, a look of anger on his face.
"Juliet, could you please move, I don't want you to get hurt." Elsie said. I smirked, I knew what she meant, but I liked the look on Riddle's face, pure anger. I just love it when guys are angry, though I don't know why, it keeps me happy.
"Hello." Riddle said, "Elsie, why is this girl sitting in my seat?" Elsie slowly turned to face Riddle, looking frightened. I was about to laugh at her expression, when I stopped myself.
"Riddle?" I asked, as if I didn't know how to talk properly. Riddle glared at me and I smiled in return, which might have confused him.
"She sat there, even though I told her not to." Elsie said. I nodded in my own silent agreement, Tom Riddle wasn't angry, but furious. I was not normal, but I liked it that way and it was the way I would stay forever and ever.
"Cookie?" I asked as I took one from my pocket, it didn't look bad, but it was out of the blue.
"Where did you get that, Juliet?" Elsie asked confused.
"Pockets." I said pointing to my pockets.
"Don't eat them." Elsie said. I ignored her and ate the cookie. Oh, how I loved my grandmum's sugar cookies. It reminded me of everything that happened, causing me to cry again. I can't help crying, but I wanted to be able to control my tears, which I couldn't control even after all those years. I didn't wipe the tears off my face, though it made my face sting, but I couldn't stop this. I don't know how long I was crying, but it actually helped me a bit, a teeny tiny bit. If this was any other day, well, I would just give up and hide myself somewhere in my room, but this wasn't any other day and I wasn't with my grandparents, let alone at their house. I was confused when I felt a hand on my face and opened my eyes, only to see that Ms. Gertrude was making sure that I didn't have a temperature, which could probably explain my crying. Not only did I not understand what she was doing, but I didn't understand the looks on everyone's faces. It took me a second too long to find out why, because I fainted suddenly.
Well, Bye now!~
