Disclaimer, I do not own Harry Potter in any way shape or form.
Trinity crouched, as usual, unnoticed in the small cupboard, as she watched her father through the small opening. She could barely hear him through the doors, and she tried to say unnoticed as he had taught her to.
The room was dimly lit by a fire, the only thing that she could really see were the outlines of father and Wormtail and the shadows dancing across the walls. This was the Riddle house, as she'd heard her father call it. Trinity was quite bright, but she had yet to understand what father meant by the name. Was the house claimed by father, or had it been his longer? She knew that was her last name. He'd told her so. Suddenly she heard more hushed whispers through the opening and started to pay better attention.
Poor father, he's so sick, everyone in the world is so cruel to him, Trinity thought, holding her wand tight to her side. It's his entire fault, that terrible fail of a wizard, Harry Potter. Suddenly she heard the soft creak of a door opening and stopped her breathing all together, sinking lower into the cupboard. She recognized the man; she'd seen him outside the window a while back. His eyes were wide with fear, and his lip trembling. She heard hissing and a bit of talking, and saw the tip of Nagini's tail slither out of sight. He walked into the room, seemingly standing up to father. The poor Muggle, did he not know of her father? She watched as he talked and father turned slowly. The last thing she heard was a scream.
They'd killed him, the cranky old man from across the street, the one that had caught her eye through the window, shook his head and pretended as though he had never seen her. The one that tended the beautiful gardens, the ones she had seen very briefly through the window. They'd killed the one with no family, the man that was lonely and sad, just looking for someone to understand him. In many ways, he was like her. And they had killed him.
"Trinity?" her father weakly called out for her. She jumped at the sound of his icy cold voice. Father really needed help.
She slowly opened the cupboard doors, staring at her father's crumpled form. "Yes, father? What is it?" she asked softly, walking out of the cupboard and into the dreary room. Wormtail stared at her with envy, his claw like hands shivering as he hovered over her father. He had always envied her companionship of her father, of his loyalty that he failed to give Wormtail. Even now, as he sat directly across from her father, engulfed in his pitch black robes with rat like eyes, he gave her a dirty look, and father had just taken notice.
It only took one look from father to change Wormtail's look of envy to fear and obedience. She fully respected her father's power, but sometimes, she was frightened by it also. "I have a plan," he croaked.
"What is it Father?" she asked obediently, ready to do anything to please him.
He reached out his tiny, weak, wrinkled hand out for her to take. She took it enthusiastically, trying to look strong although all she could feel was worry. "Harry Potter must die. This year, it's going to happen… It starts tonight… I want you to come with me," he whispered weakly between breaths.
Her heart nearly stopped. Her? On a mission? She never knew the day would come. "Yes father. I will," she stated, although, honestly, she was brutally scared of everything outside of her own life, of the world that her father had created for her. She had just seen a man die for the first time. She never knew how terrible it would make her feel, how sad it was, she was almost at the point of crying. Be strong, she thought over and over again. Father needs you. This is what you've been waiting for your entire life.
"Tonight, will be the beginning of the end for Harry Potter," he declared with a bit of a sinister smile, or at least, that's what it looked like to Trinity.
"Yes, Lord Voldemort," she stated kissing his hand once before lowering it back to his side. "I am ready to kill Harry Potter."
