Dear Diary,

I'm on my way to Hogwarts. After much fighting and debating Nana sent a message to Dumbledore asking him if I could join the new school year. He agreed and sent the paper work and a list of things I would need. I have been to Hogwarts before for my first two years in which I was of course placed in Slytherin like my brother was but to my fortunate surprise after writing to Dumbledore to place me somewhere else he gladly obliged and now I am in Ravenclaw. I'd rather be in Ravenclaw then Slytherin. I want to distant myself from my brother's past as much as possible. Even though Slytherin is where I'm really supposed to be. The last thing I want is to be there. But now im off to stop Voldemort from rising even if it kills me. I am now in my sixth year in Hogwarts and I am known not as Alice Mary Riddle but as Alice Merope. Yes I used my mothers name as my last name. And that's how everybody will know me.

Then I stopped writing when I heard whispers ascending from the two girls sitting in front of her. They were twins. They both just looked at her and giggled. Alice wondered what they were laughing about but didn't ask.

Then one of them said "Hello I'm Parvati Patil." And held out her hand towards me.

I was shocked as I wasn't much a socializer back home and I doubt that would change but I replied politely as I lightly shook hands with her.

"Alice. Alice Merope." I said using my new name and I liked the ring of it.

Then the other girl said "And my name is Padma Patil" and with a smile shook my hand as well.

I already knew, because they looked too alike, that I was going to confuse them both or simply forget their names.

Then one of them, whom I guessed was Paravati asked "So what house are you in?"

I was still in shock that somebody was actually talking to me. And nervous too because I began to scratch the back of my right hand. That happened to be what I always did when I got nervous.

"I'm in….ummm…Ravenclaw sixth year" I said still scratching the back of my hand.

"Really?" said the other girl, Padma I guessed, "I am too. But im barely fourth year" She smiled at me and I smiled back.

"And what about you Patil," I asked hoping I got her name right, "Are you in Ravenclaw too?"

I guess I did because she shook her head and simply said "Gryffindor. Fourth year as well."

She seemed disappointed. It was probably because she wasn't with her sister. Then we were silent again for the rest of the train ride to Hogwarts. I looked out of my window and wondered what would await me there. And how I would stop voldemort from rising…he may be my brother but I was still going to stop him somehow.

Alright so I hope you liked this and alright I know Voldemort's mom died when giving birth to him but for the story's sake she died giving birth to Alice and THEN stopped giving the love potion to Tom. Just wanted to point that out to those who know the background of Tom Marvolo Riddle [voldemort] and I would want to confuse you.

But please comment after reading. :]
