Tell Me Would You Kill? By: Anayu123 Chapter VII: In Which Tom Riddle Learns Of Horcruxes.
3rd person.
Despite Maire's desperate attempts to hide everything Horcrux related, she forgot to grab the book that first told Tom Riddle about Horcruxes. This is where it all begins.
Normal POV (1st Person Maire)
We had class with the Ravenclaws! Yay! Yes, I'm smart, but I got my Dad's Slytherin gene! I love the Claws and all, but sometimes they show off. That is why I was happy exactly where I am now. I sat two seats away from Professor Flitwick. Or I should call him Filius now?
"You there, 3rd row, two seats to the left! Yes you, dear, what is your name?" "Ella, Ella Lafarge." "Well Miss Lafarge, What is the advantage of using a non verbal spell in battle versus saying the spell out loud?" "Well sir, Even if it's only seconds, you can pull of a spell without letting your opponent know and create a defensive spell at the time you say the spell. " Correct! 2O points to Slytherin." I sat down again and wrote down a couple of notes here and there. By the end of the class we had gained about 25 points.
Herbology was our last class of the day and quite honestly, the most annoying class project ever. We had to work with Devil's Snare. We learned about it in our First year, but we finally got to work with them today. It was very humid in the green house, most of us had took off our cloaks and sweaters and just worked in our blouses and the rest of the uniform. Neville and I were one of the few Non- Hufflepuff students who were at least relatively good at Herbology. Well actually, Neville was quite the genius when it came to the plants, he would get this look on his face and his eyes lit up every time he talked about it.
"Professor, how do we get the plant to let go of us?" Olive Hornby asked, her annoying voice echoing across the greenhouse. "My god Hornby! Did you not pay any attention our classes in First Year? Use your stupid wand, it hates light!" Terry exclaimed. As if Professor Berry knew what was coming next he put an unbreakable wall between the two. The class didn't care, and continued working as if this happened every day.
At the end of the day we had little homework. I finished what I had to do in the library, after which I flipped through books on Parallel Universes, The Side Effects of Time Traveling, and so on.
The Time Traveler's Disease.
Yes, I had heard of it. I never believed in it though. Curious, I flipped through the chapter and came across the symptoms, having the disease, and the cure.
The Time Traveler's Disease is an ancient disease that happens to Time Travelers who disobey the laws of Time. Some say you get it after traveling so long or going back to far. However, as the sentence at the beginning of the paragraph is more accurate. There are fixed points in time, and one must do everything they can to not change these. Time Travelers like Edo Berth, have died from trying to change a fixed event. As he had tried to prevent Gellert Grindelwald from ever being born, but proved unsuccessful as he died shortly after getting the disease. The Ministry of Magic has banned Time Traveling in every Magical place known to man.
The Symptoms:
Slight Fever
Sudden Flashbacks or Flashforwards
Neverending clock sounds
You will seem fine for quite a while, but later you will be hit harshly and you will die in 3 weeks or less.
Deep Sleep
Nightmares
Extreme sense of guilt.
I wrote down everything of use and stuffed it in my bag and walked out of the library.
3rd person
Ella wrote down everything of use and stuffed it in her bag and walked out of the library, unaware of the eyes watching her every move.
Tom Riddle had at first, though Ella Lafarge a normal student who had read her books before class, but now with her looking up things about Time Travel and Parallel Universes, he made a mental note to see if she was just free reading or if she had a reason to read everything she had just read.
He closed the book he had found on horcruxes and put it back in it's usual spot and walked out the library, rolling his eyes in disgust at his fan club who had started giggling and pointing at him. They were going to be the first to go when he rose to power, he was sure of it.
That was, if he rose to power.
