Chapter 3 – A Trip down memory lane
I took my place on the Gryffindor table, i wished to be sitting in my true house, but no i was placed here, alone side the person who stole my husband away. I looked up at the heads table, the only teacher i ever knew from my own time was sitting now as headmaster. The school has not changed but the faces have. It is strange sitting here without Tom.
The sorting started and i watch all the first years getting placed in their houses, and i couldn't help but remember my first day here, i was so scared...
Flashback
"Rose, Michelle" i heard my name being called, the hat scares me, what house will be put into, my heart felt like it was going to come out of my body. I moved slowly up to the hat, it was placed over my head, as i was small it covered me eyes so i could no longer see anything, and then it spoke to me.
"Michelle Rose, half blood i see, where to put you, you are cunning very cunning, but also brave and smart and friendly to all where shall i place you." The hat went into my thought' it felt like hours then it soundly cried "SLYTHRIN!" The hat was then removed from my head as i ran to the Slytherin table. I was still confused i am half blood not pure, When i got there a boy with blond hair moved over for me to take a sit. I then watched as the rest of my year got sorted.
Then i heard his name, i felt his power he was not like the rest of the students, "Riddle, Tom" the boy had jet black hair and stunning grey eyes. And before the hat even touched his head it screamed "SLYTHRIN!" and he also ran to the table but he was not smiling. As he sat next to me i couldn't help but stare at him, i swear i knew him.
When the food appeared everyone started to talk about blood status i choose to stay silent and so did Riddle. So i thought i should talk to him. "Hi, I'm Michelle Rose." He gave me a nod and said. "My name is Tom Riddle." And from then on being the only two half bloods in the whole of the house we become friends neither of us told the others that we are half bloods but instead we said we were purebloods just like them.
End of flashback
Prof. Dumbledore stood up as soon as the sorting was finished to make a speech. "Welcome all students this year there are some few changes, first i would like to welcome all first years and say welcome to Hogwarts also i would like to introduce you to Michelle Riddle who has joined us in her fourth year at Hogwarts and she is in Gryffindor house transfer from France academy. Also we have a new defence against the dark arts teacher Prof. Mad eye moody, also there will be no Quidditch this year (the whole school rose up in up in ager at his words) HOWEVER! We will be holding the tri wizard torment where three of the top school's will be going against to win the tri wizard cup one student from each school will be choosing and for your own safety only seventh years will be allowed to enter (the whole school went up again in anger) THE RULES will not be changed so now i have finished please let the feast begin." Food appeared on all tables, i stared at each of the food and wished how i could eat it again, but i would not touch human food.
"Michelle, you going to eat?" Ron was stuffing his face, it made me feel sick when he spoke to me.
I looked down at my plate where is saw a note sitting on it, i picked it up it read,
There is blood in your goblet it should help you please try and eat some food, students may become aware,
Thank you
Albus
He wants me to eat! I picked up a slice of bread a dipped it into my drink and before anyone could see it had blood on it i placed it into my mouth.
"So Riddle, it's a shame we can't enter in the tri wizard tournament don't you think?" the wealsy boy was leaning over far to close to my liking.
"I'm not that bothered, the Prof. Only has are safety in mind and therefore ill respect his choice." I shifted in my seat away from the wealsey boy, i soon notice he has a lot of brothers and one sister called Ginny, and by the looks of it she really wanted Harry. I also meet his twin brother's fred and George who reminded me so much of their granddad who attended school in my time, he too like play pranks on people i used to hex him all the time for that. I remember being so angry with him and Tom used to want to kill him but now i think it's funny, those was the good days watching Tom chase him around the whole school trying to kill him for making my hair turn blue. I wonder if Tom caught up with him after i left, he always said he wanted him dead, i hope he didn't he was a nice person.
That night i sneaked out of my bed once all the girls have fallen asleep, there was no need for me to lay there i only slept about once a month. And i wanted to explore the castle, i wonder if dear old Slytherin pet is here still.
