I own Nothing.
She could hear the Bells as they chimed softly in the cool wind as it struck 10 in the evening. With every step taken she wanted to scream, Scream in agony, she wanted to die the pain was just too much for her but she would not give up, not condemn the child inside her to never existing. No the child was to important to let die and this is what drove her on and on this is what drove her to keep moving, to keep looking for a safe place where her child could make it's entrance in to this cruel world.
As she walked she saw lights on in a building to her left with an old almost rusted out sign out the front claiming that the building was an orphanage, it was right then an there that she made her decision her child would be born in the orphanage she had no other choice as she knew that if the baby was born outside in the snow it would surely die.
She struggled to climb the small set of stairs to the front of the orphanage a kind looking woman came rushing towards her, this woman only looked a little older then she was. She did not say a thing as the kind woman helped her inside, the only time she made a sound was as her child arrived in to the world.
A few minutes passed as the child was cleaned and the kind lady bought the bright pink bundle over for she to see. As she looked into her newborn sons eyes she said in the strongest voice she could muster " please call him Tom after his Pa-Pa and Marvolo after my own, his surname is to be Riddle"
and with that she succumbed to the darkness inside her she surrendered herself to death her last hope that her son would have a better life then she did, the last thing she ever saw was the frightened look on her sons face and Merope Gaunt's last thought mummy loves you Tommy Be strong Mummy loves you.
The End
