Ten years later
A small eleven year old boy was sitting at a table in a huge torch-lit library and reading a book when a small brown owl flew through a big fire- side and landed next to him and held out its leg onto which a letter was tied. It said
Alexander Thomas Riddle
Riddle Manor
On the hill
Little Hangleton
The boy looked at it, a bit confused because he had never in his life gotten a letter, but this one was clearly for him as it had his name on it, and tied the letter of and the owl left again through the fire-side. When he saw the sign on the other side of the letter, a lion, snake, eagle and badger around the letter H his confusion turned into great interest. He opened the letter and read.
Dear Mr. Riddle,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Herewith attached is a list of the needed supplies.
Yours sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall
Deputy Headmistress
Alexander also read the list, then folded the letter and laid it aside and continued reading his book, although with much less concentration than before. Every now and then he shot a glance at the letter on the table or checked the time on an old clock on the wall. He remained there like that for hours, until finally he closed the book and put it back into a shelf, took the letter and left the library. He went up the stairs to the highest floor of the silent house and quietly knocked onto the door at the end of the corridor.
"Come in." a voice from inside the room said.
Alex opened the door and stepped inside. Lord Voldemort was sitting in a huge armchair near the fireplace, Nagini lying beside him on the hearth- rug.
Voldemort was Alexander's father and mentor, and, although this would surely have not been Alex own words, the most important person in his life. His mother had died when he was little, protecting him from Albus Dumbledore, who had not given up the child without a fight. And, although he was Voldemort's heir, Alex was definitely not a spoiled child like all these Death Eater children. He had of course his father, but with most things in his life he had to cope alone. When he was younger, he had often felt lonely, but with time going by he had become quite independent. Voldemort had taught him magic, had been there for him in tough times, but had as often left him alone to deal with his pain and fears and loneliness. But Alex did not mind that, nor was he angry at his father or something. That was the way he learned and became strong and powerful.
"Hello father." He said.
"Hello Alex." Said the Dark Lord and looked at him.
"I have gotten my Hogwarts letter today." Said Alex.
Voldemort raised his eyebrows. Alex gave him the letter and waited while he read it.
"So, you'll go there?" asked Voldemort when he had finished.
"If you allow me..." said Alex, giving his best to conceal his excitement.
"Of course I allow you, you will certainly learn a lot for life there." Said Voldemort. "Tomorrow you can go to Diagon Alley and buy your stuff."
Alex said that he wanted to go to sleep and left quickly. He felt extremely excited and happy, but his father didn't think so much of showing emotions. Neither did he, but he couldn't stop himself from dancing around outside the door and jumping all the way down to his room.
There he lay on his bed and thought. He was a little astonished because of Voldemort's behavior, that wasn't really the Dark Lord's style: just saying yes, of course, without any problems... but, well, no matter, he would finally go to Hogwarts.
Don't kill me for the short chapter, it was just a place to end.
And I've already started the next chapter, which I'll make longer, and I promise I'll post it the next days, maybe even tomorrow, depends on the length, okay?
So please review!
