Title: Solving a Riddle Author: Gin MacGreggor Feedback: I take constructive criticism surprisingly well. Disclaimer: I don't own much here, except Jess. If I did, I'd be a heck of a lot richer and living on something other than Earl Grey and Ramen noodles. All rights go to the proper people. You know who you * points to author and publishers * are. Summary: What if instead of Harry Potter, another found Tom Riddle's book? A/N : This is the first one to be published here. Go me! Many thanks to moonletters (wickedkiwi) for helping a useless newbie like myself. Anyhoo, R/R.

Prologue

A loud splash echoed through the lavatory as a small girl ran out the door. Myrtle peeked out of the U-bend, curious of what just plopped in her toilet. "Not a good place for a book," she sighed, flinging it from the bowl onto the floor below. She sank back into the bend as the door opened again. "Insensitive prats..." she hissed. She was in no mood for visitors today.
