August 2nd

I hate it here with my muggle stepparents. I wish I was with my father were ever he is. Father swears I must not tell a soul about who I really am. He said that not everyone is trustworthy. He said even some of his own followers were untrustworthy, after they claimed they didn't know him. Liars, all of them. No one believed them so of course they were thrown into Azkaban anyway. I never really lived with Father anyway. I mostly stayed with Lucious and, was forced to call him my uncle. I loved it with him though. I was treated like royalty. Never lifting a finger for myself. It was wonderful! If Father were around I would have been treated the same way, like a princess. Now he confines me with these people! They are lifeless twits that go through life dreaming. Then Father says that if anyone in the wizarding world found out who I was then I would have a safe haven in the muggle world. I think I would take my chances in an enchanting world rather than suffer here. That's the worst thing you could do to a witch in-training! Especially a witch with such a feared father. They won't even speak his name! Oh yes! Another thing I love! Every thing I do must be hidden from my "parents". My owl Eloise knows to only come at night while the muggles are sleeping. I even left a few times without them knowing. Most of the time, to do things for Father. He or Lucious usually needs me to get things in the muggle world. Anyway, today is special. I now have the chance to be the heroine, as Father says. The stupid Wizarding School I attended was destroyed by (by me of course!) Because Father has something he wants me to do at Hogwarts. I don't really want to be there except for the fact that I'll be with Draco and some more of my friends. My friend's parents are loyal to my father and friends of Lucious. I get to stay with Lucious for the rest of the summer holidays and my friends and I travel to Hogwarts with Draco in September. The "friend" coming with me is my friend Lucinda and her two sisters. Lucinda is a 6th year like me and both of her sisters are 3rd years. They went with me to school before and are coming with me as a cover up. Sort of a reason why I'm there, which Father will tell me later. I have to also keep our friendship a secret (Not a problem with me) while I'm at Hogwarts just in case anyone notices them. Another thing I have to keep a secret is the power that my father has given me. My power isn't my last name but an actual sort of 'superpower' that Father has created. He used an ancient magic that hadn't been used in centuries to give me that power. I have dark brown, almost black hair, skin that is deeply tanned, sort of looks like sand and, lavender and green eyes. Isn't obvious? Yes, but what do my eyes do? For the cost of a small headache, I can make someone believe anything I say for 24 hours (which is wonderful when the muggles get curious). Well, I guess I have to finish here tonight. Eloise has arrived with letters from Father. -Melinda Riddle A/N: Wow you Actually read this! I thank you so much! This part was supposed to be boring but it gets way better. Please R&R!
