Chapter 3 - The Letter

Summery: The story of Voldemort's only child and her experience at Hogwarts. Will she follow her father's dark ways or will she join the light side?

Rating: Shouldn't be worse than PG but I'll say PG13 just in case.

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or any of the characters in the HP series. I only own my characters and the plot.

"Thank you for dinner, Tom," Kali told the man behind the counter, handling him some coins.

"No problem, Miss," Tom replied politely. "Would you like any fruit for a snack later?" he asked her, pointing to a wick basket with a red bow that was full of oranges, apples, and pears.

"Yea, thanks again," Kali replied taking a pear from the basket and pocketing it as she headed back up stairs. She opened the door of her room and flopped down on the bed narrowly missing his pet.

"WATCH IT!" Nathair hissed, alarmed.

"Sorry," Kali muttered, sitting up.

"Ssssorry? You ssshould be! I was cooped up in a tiny bassket and now in thiss room. You just nearly ssquashed me. Andd you didn't even bother to bring me a thing to eat," he hissed offended.

"Go eat a rat. That's what snakes do," she replied jokingly.

"You know very well that I'm a vegetarian! Fruits and vegetables only!" he whined. Kali took the pear out of her pocket and rolled it across the bed to him, smiling. "Pears! My favorite!" Nathair hissed joyfully, and began munching on it.

"Who could forget a snake who's a vegetarian," Kali said, laughing at her pet. A sharp knock at the door interrupted her laughter. She stood up and opened the door. A large brown owl flew in and landed on the bed. Noticing Nathair , it began backing away. Kali untied the letter from the owl's leg and it quickly flew away, eager to get as far as possible from the snake. The letter was in a large yellowish envelope with green lettering

Ms. Kali Riddle

The Leaky Cauldron

Room # 6

Kali tore the envelope open and unfolded the yellow parchment. Her eyes scanned the bottom looking for the addressee. -Albus Dumbledore "It's from Hogwarts," she told Nathair. He was still busy chomping his apple. Kali rolled her eyes and went back to the letter.

HOGWARTS SCHOOL

of WITCHCRAFT and WIZARDRY

Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore

(Order of Merlin, First Class, grand Sorc., Chf. Warlock,

Supreme Mugwump, International Confed. of Wizards)

"Humph! First class conceited idiot if you ask me," Kali mumbled slightly annoyed, disliking Dumbledore already. She hated conceited people and those who bragged.

Kali grabbed some parchment and a pen. She scribbled a reply saying thank you and tied it to the owls leg. It quickly took off. Kali shut the door and sat down on the bed. "Well Nathair, looks as if we are off to Hogwarts. Today's the 30th so tomorrow we must get my supplies. Good night," Kali told him, laying down on the bed.

"Goodnight," he hissed in reply.

"Nathair?" She asked softly a few minutes later.

"Yessss?" He answered.

"Do you think Dumbledore will be able to help me find my father?" she asked worried.

"Maybe, maybe. If anyone in the wizarding world knows, it will be him," Nathair assured her. Kali didn't respond for she was already asleep.
