Into The Past ll Tom Marvolo Riddle ll

by meghasanaghosh

Before he had shed the insufferable name and became Lord Voldemort, he was human, just as everyone else. A boy whom all thought would do exceedingly good things, as his scholastic personality deemed him as the most intelligent student that step foot in Hogwarts. And Tom loved that, he had power, respect, loyal 'friends' and most importantly, control. That was until she came along.

1. The Tempest

(Edited)

As the cloudsparted in the sky and the moon shoneupon everything in its wake,the sweet cry of a newborn echoed through a little hut in the middle of the woods.The night suddenly changed its course, anddarkness and sudden squall soon surrounded the forest.A crisp chill blew through the wind asthe wailof the newborn echoed down the lonesome hut. Their soft, moist ground was trembled by a horrifying squallof the wolves through blinding darknessall around the forest, and the rustling noises of the trees with its calm icy breeze made the forest haunted.

The last breath escaped from Elizabeth's throatas her cold lifeless body laid beside her newborn child. Suddenly, silence coveredthe whole forest. Even the monotonous song of the cicadas was swallowed up by this deathly silence.

The grief-stricken father ran in search of a house, to seek shelter, with his onlychild wrapped up in a white cloth in his arms, for the woods offered him no safety.He ran as fast as he could; he couldn't let the wolves nor the thunderstorm stop him from bringing his daughter to a safe place. The flashbacks of his wife parting with her last breath on this fateful night was constantly replaying on his mind . He ran out of the forest and into a nearby village where he searched for some shelter for his only daughter. He quickly knocked on someone's door and after a few minutes, it opened, and the astonished face of the man's brother peeked through.

"Brother," the newfather addressed, "I want you to take care of my daughter until I return."

His eyes wandered back to his daughter's face and he gave her a last reassuring smile. The baby's eyes shone a deep green as she cracked them open sleepily;her father was astonished to see it. He smiled above to see the virtuous white clouds and could feel this exact purity in his daughter's face. "Marry... Virgin Mary!" rung from his frozen lips. He kissed her forehead before laying her into his brother's arms and muttered his last parting words to his daughter "Madonna, goodbye my child," With a flick of his cape, he turned and strode into the night,disappearing into the mist.

His brother, however, was not ready to take the sudden responsibility of a child. He called after his brother, prepared to give him a lecture, but he was too far away from his earshot.

Clenching his jaws, the agitated, scruffy man took the child inside and locked the door, as the cold wind was freezing his bones.
