One of the hobbies of Alieen Ròs Drummond was to watch the little muggles from the little window of hers. In the dark, cold and cruel life, she was still astonished by how foolish and naive they were. They were so ignorant, and so unconscious that they couldn't realise the existance of all the supernatural creatures around them, the magic, around them.

That's what Aileen adored about them, their thick-skulled structure didn't let them to look clearly around, they were happy with the less they had. They had learned. Aileen had always looked for that self-control and dumbness inside but the logical Aileen had never allowed her to be more... Basic, like a muggle.

Every day, Aileen would wake up at 6:30, just to watch how one day of muggles began, even though she had memorised every move of them. Especially the little family beside her house, Bakers. They were an English family, with Mr. Daniel Bakers and his beloved wife Mrs. Lauren Bakers. Every morning, he would wake up at 7 a.m, get dressed, eat his breakfast which was prepared by his wife and leave his house. They were all comfortable in the little house of theirs, they had no fear. No fear of death inside them.

With a sigh, Aileen closed the curtains. She was bored, but not because of the muggles. She was bored of her life. She was tired of not doing anything. That sounded strange, even to her. How could a witch be tired of doing nothing? Well, she was. She had nothing to do, and she couldn't bring herself to leave her safe house, no. After all the things she went through.

No, she thought, I won't think of him, not today.

But of course, this was a lie. Like every day, even the slightest reminder was enough to think of her... 'past', as if it was easy to forget. To start over again. It was like living the nightmare, yes, this was enough to describe her life.

She had graduated from Hogwarts ten years ago. As a Rawenclaw, she coul be classified as the smartest person in the Hogwarts. Well, at least 'one of the' smartest people in the Hogwarts. The other wizard was... It was Tom Marvolo Riddle.

Even his name was bringing back the memories of them together. They were the perfect couple, in any ways. Tom's facial features were always Greek god-like, with his brown sliky hair, pale and long face, and those haunting eyes... Everyone was charmed by his looks, even though somewhat everyone knew about his secrets. But no one dared to tell anyone about him.

Aileen was.. She wasn't really that much of a beauty, but she wasn't an eye sore either. She had straight ginger hair, (but she didn't belong to the Weasley family,)freckles on her pale and small face with one pair of blue eyes. Still that day, she still couldn't believe Tom had chosen her out of all those ladies who fell to his feet. He was a man with secrets...

But behind his saint-like acts, Aileen knew his real self. Only she had known about him, by witnessing something terrible...

*Flashback*

"Are you coming, Allie?" Aileen's Gryffindor friend Charlus Potter called behind her while she was going to the library. He had been planning to go to the Hogsmade Trip with some Gryffindors and Rawenclaws that Aileen didn't know, and to be honest, even if she knew, she wouldn't be interested in going with them. She liked Charlus, he was her best friend but that didn't mean she had to like Charlus's friends. Sometimes, Aileen just couldn't believe how she managed to stay best friends with Charlus for all those years.

"No, genius, unlike you I have a Potions exam to study, and a Transfiguration essay to write," Alieen lie smoothly. It wasn't a complete lie though, she DID have an exam and a homework, but she had already finished all.

"Okay,okay, I only asked." Charlus said, "So,we'll meet in the dining hall then,"he said simply, hugging Aileen. Many claimed that Charlus had taken a liking towards Aileen in an unfriendly way, which Aileen didn't believe at all. Charlus was... Charlus, he was a charmer, ladies man. He wouldn't look at Aileen.

After they separated, Aileen headed to her old friend, library. Before Aileen and Charlus met, Aileen had spent most of her time in library, helping the librarian or searching things. This was how she calmed down. Books... They were a passion for Aileen while others just disliked them.

As she passed one of the girls' bathroom, she couldn't help but pity the little Ravenclaw, Myrtle. She was being bullied so much that she wasn't seen anywhere around on those days. Not even in the common room, only in some lessons. What Aileen most feared was to find her dead, she wasn't close friends with Myrtle but Myrtle was also a Rawenclaw.

Aileen decided to visit the little girl just for once, to make her feel... okay ,maybe?

As she stepped into the bathroom, the first thing she realised was a petrified Myrtle.

With her eyes widened, Aileen let out an ear-piercing scream, and held her wand immediately. There were rumors about a creature, Basilisk wandering in the school. Aileen had never thought she would be this close to a petrified body.

She heard some hisses, one coming from a large snake, for sure. But the other one was different... It was coming from a boy!

"Who's there?" the boy shouted in English, and stepped out of his hiding place.

"T-Tom Riddle?" Aileen mumbled, not believing what she had just witnessed.

"What are you-"

"Stupefy!" Aileena screamed while Tom was distracted, otherwise they both knew that she wouldn't stand a chance against Riddle in a spell-battle. And with that, she ran, but never told anyone about it. Maybe just because of this, or something else, Tom started to realise this girl much more than he used to..

With this memory, Aileena smiled a bit, her pale face awakening a bit. Her life wasn't easy, she was always on a run, always changing places with-

Suddenly, her door was knocked loudly twice. With a sigh, Aileena headed towards the door and opened it.

"Mum!" The two little kids screamed at the same time.

Yes, she had kids. But no ordinary kids. They were the children of one and only Tom Marvolo Riddle.
