It was awful here , I had to listen to my step mother and my
father fight . I had to listen to my father's friends get drunk
downstairs along with him . I had to sit and wonder why ? I had
to wonder if I was going to survive this Christmas . I had to
wonder when I could see Meahera again . I had to wonder if she was
all right . Something about her letter felt wrong . Something
actually was wrong other then me being here in this house . What
was going to happen now , my father said just this morning if my
grades did not approve this year he was going to disown me . Even
through that would be fun in the muggle world it wouldn't be in
the wizarding world , it was a great dishonor to be disowned by
your own parents . Well tonight I received Meahera's gift it was
probley the only one I am going to get this year for Christmas ,
so no matter what I will cherish it . Well right now my father
was talking to his friends Mr. Crabble and Mr. Goyle my two
friends fathers . Right now I was curled up in my sitting window
looking outside where I used to run and play . I used to sit here
and listen to my mother tell me stories , but of course that was
when everything was happy and nice when there was golden streets
and a father who loved me and my mother that was very long ago so
long I can barely remember it . The lake outside was covered with
ice and snow and where the fields of heather was in the summer
there was piles of snow . Outside on my window ice crystals were
developing . Right now it was raining a cold hard sad sorta rain
. It made me feel lost and helpless . I was without friends here
and I had no Meahera here to say it was all right . I had no
mother to hug me goodnight and to wish me nice dreams of the
suger plum fairy . I had no hope of a Christmas at least not a
merry one . That is when it begun I heard screaming and yelling
downstairs I got up and opened the door to look I saw my father
holding Mr. Goyle in a choke grip . I rushed back in to my room
and locked my door . I curled up on my bed and fell to sleep
without any supper .
I was having the time of my life it was Christmas morning . I got up and looked at the foot of my bed there was all sorts of gifts I had gotten from friends I had made at the ministry . But first I opened Draco's as I tore through the wrappings they got smaller and smaller till out of them came the most beautiful necklace I had ever seen along with a beautiful rose . I at once put on the necklace it fitted me perfectly and looked perfect with me . I then returned to the gifts there was one from Percy Weasley ( a friend of mine I met him when I was just going into Dumbledore's care ) it was a small wooden carving of a couple dancing a little note came out with it .
Dear Meahera ,
I found this in Spain I was there reporting a case of
accidental magic use . I bought this from a little old muggle
lady who was selling little wooden carvings on the street , I
thought that you would like it for a Christmas present
Best wishes , Percy Weasley
It was sweet of him to do that . It had been painted by someone probley Percy . The young Spanish girl wore a yellow dress and was dancing with an conquistador . They both had black hair and dark eyes . I looked down at the rest of my pile and chose an unmarked present . I opened it in it was a smaller box it continued until it got really small finally it ended as a small wooden trunk inside it was a note it said .
Dear Meahera ,
I hope you like your Christmas gift . I thought that you would
like it . Its for the girl who has everything except parents the
same thing that I am lacking .
Happy dreams to you ,
Harry Potter
I stared at the letter it fell out of my hand and floated to
the floor . Why did he get me a gift if he had told me I would of
got him one . I reached for another present this one was from Mr.
Fudge ( the Minster of magic ) ( I knew him from when I was
younger , just after I had been abandoned he was the one who took
me in and raised me for three years ) . It was a small little
golden caldron it fitted in the palm of my hand .
There was no letter from him . I took up another present it was
from Mrs. Weasley I had stayed at her house sometimes because her
husband works for the ministry of magic . It was a small box of
homemade fudge and a knitted sweater of the color plum , it had a
small little black cat with blue eyes and loads of whiskers sewn
on it where my heart is supposed to be . I picked up the next
parcel it was from both Charlie and Bill it was dragon leather
boots . I laughed at there small joke , I always had joked around
about Charlie working with dragons and so did bill . I noticed
they had been dyed blue . There was a note from them in the left
shoe it said .
Dear Meahera ,
We thought that we would bring work home . So we got you these
boots . Hope you like them .
Love ,
Bill and Charlie
That was nice of them , I saw one more present . I took it in my
hands and opened it . It was a blade . The blade looked as if it
was made of blue glass , and the handle was made of ebony . I
recognized it as the blade of my family , it had once belonged to
Salazer Slytherien my greatest ancestor . My father must have
owned this blade . It fit in my hand perfectly , through I never
have held a blade before this . It was the size of a small dagger
. I slashed a piece of gift wrap with it , the gift wrap burst
into flames because of the power this blade held . I knew I was
holding a blade that could beat King Author's sword , Excalibor .
This blade was passed down to each Riddle that came to the school
. I would hold it for protection till then , nothing could even
try to hurt me while I carried this blade . It was one of the
property's of the blade that made it even more magical then a
wand . It was a sort of bane spell no dangerous creature within
100 feet could touch me without experisring agony . Nothing could
touch me if I did not want them to , not even humans . I tucked
the dagger into my dress robes , and got up and went downstairs
to the common room . Harry was waiting , he grinned and said "
Want to go down for breakfast ? " " Yes , lets go right now . "
We ran down the halls , and almost knocked Snape and Flich down .
" Children , do not run in the halls , or fifty points from
Gryfindor ! " Bellowed Flich " now now Argus it's Christmas be
nice to the children . " Snape had said that Harry looked like he
was going to faint . " Okay , thanks Serveus . " Harry looked at
me after we turned the corner . " Serveus ? " " Oh that , we're
friends he basically was one of the people who raised me " , I
said simply . We were quiet for the rest of the walk , when we
got there the house tables were gone and only the teacher's table
was there . We both had only sat down when all of the teachers
came and sat down . Snape looked to merry , he was holding a
flask and drinking out of it . " Serveus what are you drinking ?
" demanded Minerva . " Oh nothing , Minerva at least nothing of
your interest . " He answered in his most silkiest voice . He
then took another swig and grinned at the face Minerva was making
. We had a merry breakfast , and a merry tea . We even had a
merrier dinner .
I found out that night that my father wanted to acuse me of
the murder that he had just committed . I was packing up my stuff
my wand my spell books all the money I had out of the bank .
Everything that I could carry . I opened the window , the cold
winter air blew in and I didn't mind . I threw on my cloak and
bag , I then climbed on my broom and took off . Soon aurors
would be after me , my father was always saying that I was a
problem child . Through I wasn't , Meahera was the only person I
could tell my secret pains . But now I would not even get to see
her anymore . For I could not risk her , I loved her to much . I
know how do you know you love her your only a child , I don't
know so don't ask me that question I just love her . Soon I would
be far away , soon I would be flying over open seas . Soon I
would be away from England . I had only hours to hide far away
where they could never get me .
Something was wrong I could feel it , something about Draco .
It was in my bones , this feeling was . I could feel it in waves
, I was starting to get slightly sick . I sat up in my bed and
got up . I got dressed and went to the teacher's corridor and
knocked on Snape's door . He opened it and looked down " Meahera
what is it , I'm talking to Minerva right now . " " Snape there
is something wrong with Draco I can feel it , in my bones . " "
What are you sure ? " I nodded my head Minerva had got up out of
one of the two armchairs in front of Snape's fireplace . She was
looking at me with a puzzled expression on her face . She looked
from me to Snape and then decided that she rather would not want
to be confused and left . " If your sure come on lets go to
Dumbledore . " We walked down another corridor and came upon
Dumbledore's office . Snape reached his hand up and knocked on it
three times . It opened about two minutes later and Snape went
forward and knocked on another door . This one was soon opened by
Dumbledore , he looked down at me and then looked eye to eye at
Snape . " What is this rude intrusion , Serveus , " he said
jokingly . " She says that there is something wrong with Draco ,
she said that she can feel it in waves . " " Okay explain this to
me Meahera . " I told him everything that I felt right then and
how I had awoke to feel sharp pains in my bones . " Yes I see you
are now the bearer of the blade of riddles . This gives you the
power to sense danger coming and danger that might be coming to
your loved ones . It is another property of the blade , you now
pocess a blade that has been passed down from generation to
generation , Meahera . Use it wisely , unlike your father you
have the power to use it for good deeds . I will not give you the
freedom , I gave your father for he took the rein of it's full
power and used it to become the darkest wizard ever to walk upon
this earth . " He then got up and said " let me see the blade "
I took it from the folds of my robes and handed it to him . He
stood there looking down at the blade and said " Draco is in
trouble his father is accusing him that he murdered his father's
friend . His father actually murdered his though , this means
Draco shall be hunted down until he is caught . Which means he
has to be smuggled out of the country . " He then turned to Snape
" go find him before the Aurors do , I am going to summon Sirius
now leave . " Snape went and took a broomstick from the closet in
Dumbledore's office , it was a Firebolt ! He took off out
Dumbledore's window and soon disappeared into the night . "
Meahera stay here in this office ," said Dumbledore . " I have to
go get someone that can save Draco until he can prove his
innocence . " Dumbledore than disappeared . I was alone again
like I was when I was seven . I just sat there too scarred to do
anything , not even cry .
Flying through the night sky was horrifying , you had to avoid muggle aircraft and all that stuff . In other words it was awful . It was approaching dawn when I saw something coming at me in black robes . I dived to get away afraid it was a auror . The person came diving at me I then heard the voice " Draco don't be scared I'm here to help you . " It was Snape , I flew over there where he was . " Professor Snape what am I to do ? " " You are to follow me , we have found a way that might just save you from this injustice . " " But professor . " " Don't but me but follow , I shall explain on the way back . Come on , follow me . " I followed him and we raced back to the place I did not want to be at . Away from the silky dawn .
Later that night , Dumbledore appeared with a man . It was
Sirius Black , I was about to scream when Dumbledore said "
Meahera calm down Sirius is innocent of the crime he was accused
of . Anyway he can save Draco from being imprisoned for a crime
he did not commit ." Right then Snape came flying through the
still opened window with Draco trailing behind him . I jumped up
and ran over to Draco and threw my arms around him . He looked
surprised at this and said " Meahera stop your choking me . " I
let go and said " Oh Draco , I loved your gift and I'm so glad
that your back . " He looked a little uncomfortable " Did you
open your gift , Draco , " I asked ." I didn't have time ," "well
open it now . " He took the gift out of his bag and started to
open it . Out fell the silvery cloak he just stared down at it
and looked up . He said then " Meahera do you have any clue what
this is ." I shook my head no " This is an invisibility cloak "
I looked shocked it was one of them , I had then chosen right .
Then all of sudden Sirius cleared his throat " you two better say
your good-byes because I have to get back home . Anyway you two
may never see each other again , but you never know . Well hurry
up now I've got to be going . " Draco looked at me and whispered
" I love you and I have always loved you , ever since I saw you I
have been bewitched by you . I thank you for the gift , it shall
be most useful . " He then held me tight in his arms , I started
to cry in wracking sobs . He bent his head down and kissed me
like he had kissed me the first day we had ever met . He then
stopped and whispered " Goodbye my love , as Sirius said we may
never see each other again . " He held me close once more I had
stopped cringe now I was trembling . I did not want to watch him
leave but I did that night . " Draco wait ," he turned to look at me . " Come what may , I won't age a day , I'll wait for you always . He smiled down at me and said " I shall wait for you in the twilight .
He let me go and went to Sirius they disapeared together then . I did not want him to go but he must . So I finally said goodbye to the man I promised to never say goodbye . . . . . I look at the window now , I expect him to come . He does not , he sometimes sends me letters . Well he used too
, that was ten years ago , I'm grown now . I'm a teacher here at
Hogwarts , I'm transfiguration for Minerva has took over as the
headmistress for awhile . Right now Dumbledore is taking a break
he has been waiting for , for awhile . All of a sudden I heard a student
say " Professor Cheniski are you all right ? " It was young
Wendelin Weasley , Bill Weasley oldest child . " Yes Ms . Weasley
I am just fine . " I then got up and went to the window , where
the desert rose Draco had given me long ago still lay . And I
remembered the last conversation we had together so long ago .
I watched the sun go down desending into the early twilight , just like I was fading away , while I wait and I shall never age a day .
