Far away in the forests of Albania a creature was stirring. Something had awoken him from his deep sleep, and he was not happy. A young boy sat up from the snake like coil he was positioned in and looked around. He was alone and isolated as he had been for the past 20 years ever since his parents had died in a battle that had been fought for the greater good. He was fed up and wanted to do something about it, he wanted to make them and see the lights leave their eyes.
The boy's name was Corvinus Gaunt, and he was a descendent of the great Salazar Slytherin. A glorious line of pure-bloods until his grandmother ruined it and it became poisoned with filth. He had took the name of his grandfather so as to differentiate himself from the muggles and hopefully over time the name Riddle will be forgotten. He had been left with a letter from his mother, which had been edited by her sister after she had died when he was only 5 months old, since then he had lived with the help of his pet snake Naga. (According to the letter Naga had a sister called Nagini but unfortunately she perished at the same time as her parents.) The letter informed him of the cold-blooded witch who had murdered his mother and it was her he would track down first.
Now Corvinus had work to do so gracefully he stood up and started gliding towards the edge of the forest, he lowered his hood over his head as it would not do for people to recognise him yet. Naga slithered behind him keeping close to his masters heels so as not to get lost in the maze of woodland surrounding them. "Follow me Naga, to the ministry" Corvinus said and he turned on his heels and disappeared into the never ending mist.
