Tell Me Would You Kill: Chapter III: Everything Is About To Change
I woke up in the hospital with Draco next to me asleep on the chair. He had bags under his eyes and his hair was in his face. I reached out to move it, but his seeker reflexes kicked in and he had grabbed my hand and his eyes flashed open.
"Hey Nightmare, everything all right?" "Yeah Ferret I'm fine. My heads is fuzzy but other than that I'm okay, why am I in here?" "Professor Snape carried you up here, Word got out to me and I freaked. So here I am!" "Snape carried me up here?" I blushed a bit. "Aww, does Nightmare still have a crush on Potion man?" Draco teased. I blushed even harder. "I never liked him like that and never will!" "Yeah, sure, that's why Will told me you fainted. 'Oh Merlin, the great Snape has come to rescue me of the horrors of my life!'" He joked. He stopped laughing when he noticed Will behind him.
"You're in big trouble, don't tease my sister when she is in bad condition!" "Oh Willy, don't be such a worry-wart, I'm fine! Seriously!" Sirius... I missed him. The only guy who understood the pressure of the world. My Mum used to always be in contact with him, then he died. I cried about it several times, but only one person really had it bad when he died, and that was Harry, as Sirius was his only living relative, when Sirius died, all hope of having a parent figure or a family at all, was gone.
"Snap out of it sis!" "Mr. William, Mr. Malfoy, I'm afraid Professor Dumbledore has to speak to Maire by himself. Draco got up at once but Will was more resistant.
"Come on Willy. I'm fine, I'll talk to you later. I promise!" Willy nodded reluctantly but stood and followed Draco out of the Hospital Wing.
"Well Miss. Risenwall, it seems this mission is giving you quite a bit of trouble, do you want to give up on it?" "No sir! I just-I just don't know what Will would think of me, my friends and Draco, I promised I'd be there for him! Oh Merlin I'm breaking my own promises!" "I see. Well if you're up to it, meet Professor Snape in his office at 9:00 this evening." "Yes sir. What will happen when I'm gone?" Dumbledore's eyes seem to give a mysterious gleam. "I'm afraid that is up to you. Well I must be going Miss Risenwall, do feel better soon. Goodnight!" Dumbledore stated and disapparated.
"Madame Pomfrey, I feel better now. Can I go?" "No you don't young lady! Not until I check your temperature!" Madame Pomfrey stated and took my temperature faster than Mr. Weasley would do when he saw a foreign Muggle object.
"Sweety, I'm quite sure you're good to go! Just if you need anything, don't hesitate to come ask me!" "Yeah I will. Thanks Madame Pomfrey!" "Anytime Dearie!" I glanced at my watch and saw the time. 7:48 Pm. Good I had enough time to visit the Library. I ran to the nearest portrait and guessed the first password I saw in my head.
"Cackling Gargoyles." "Good, now hurry up!" The portrait ordered and I stepped through to reveal the hallway next to the library.
"Morning Maire." stated a ghost, not just any ghost, but the spirit of Helena Ravenclaw, of whom she was named after. " Morning Helena."
"What are you doing this evening?" "Looking for books, romance books to be specific." "Oh, I thought you would be searching for books on Salazar Slytherin and his descendants." "How did you- oh, Dumbledore asked you didn't he?" She nodded. " I was, but this whole thing is driving me insane, I know how important this is, but it seems impossible." "Nothing is impossible Maire. You should know this. I might be of some help though, if you can't find anything in the library, go to the seventh floor and pace the wall three times thinking of what you need and a door should appear. It is the Room Of Requirement, it gives you anything you ask for or need." A light bulb turned on inside my head and started jogging towards the Moving Staircase. "Thank You so much Helena!" I stated watching a rare smile appear on her face as she drifted through a wall next to her.
I finally reached the seventh floor and did exactly as she had stated and watched as a door appear on the wall in front of me. Curious I stepped inside and gasped. A whole library full of books on Salazar Slytherin, Lord Voldemort, Death Eaters, Hogwarts, and a hidden book popped up on the table. I picked it up and glanced at it's cover.
'The Knights of Walpurgis and their meetings.' by Dale Risenwall.
Wait what! My grandfather wrote this?! Holy Merlin my grandfather was a Death Eater! No, he was a spy, my mom told me that he survived many accusations of being a spy, and it saved him in the end.
17 September 1943 12:12 Pm.
Today was our first meeting. Tom Riddle declared that we all call him 'Lord Voldemort' which means 'Bringer of Death' in french. Abraxas Malfoy practically sat at his feet and kissed them. It was sickening. I can't believe I joined this thing. He ordered Avery and Lestrange to convince Nott into joining. He did a week later where we crucio'd a 1st year. I wanted to strangle Avery when he did it. Tom Riddle almost found me out about this spy thing. I reported everything to Dumbledore. He says I'll be safe with all these Occlumency lessons but I still feel nervous about it.
Dale Risenwall
I scanned my eyes over everything he stated. It would help to know all this stuff. Finally I found what I wanted- er needed.
Tom Riddle is a bastard (literally) and thinks he's better than everyone else. He is very smart and can get any girl he but doesn't even bother looking at them. He wants to be immortal and will do anything to get it. He charms everyone and everything into doing what he wants because he manipulates people. He can be very persuasive and he knows it. He wants to be called 'Lord Voldemort' which means 'Bringer of Death' in French. Hopefully I won't die because of this and will live. He is the leader.
Occlumency was in 2 minutes! Shoot! I ran out of the room and scrambled down the magical stairway to Professor's Snape's office.
" You're late, Miss Risenwall." " Sorry Professor! I was researching Tom Riddle in the library-" "Has the Headmaster not given you enough information on the Dark Lord. He does not rest, we must concentrate or your mission will be delayed, for we can't go sending you on a mission to weaken the most skilled Legilimens and Occlumens of our time now can we Risenwall?" "I suppose not Professor." "Good, now begin. Legilimens!"
I experienced nothing like this before. It was worse than what a concussion would be to a muggle, which me being a half-blood has experience in.
"Clear your mind Risenwall. Think of absolutely nothing." So I did just that and it stopped after a while.
"The lesson is complete. Now come, we must get to the Headmaster's office at once." I followed him out if his office for the last time. Looking around at the dungeon walls, eyeing the statues. I kept walking despite my mind wanting to backtrack.
When we reached the Headmaster's office I felt like crying, but I held it in. Dumbledore looked at me and gave a small smile.
"Miss Risenwall, I do not believe you have to fear. You will be able to come back once mission is completed." I nodded. "You're back story and name has already been taken care of. Now all we need to worry about is you. I put a spell on the Time Turner that allows it to go back years. 7 turns should do the trick." I took the Time Turner from his hands.
"Sir, what exactly do I have to do?" "I'm afraid that is up to you Miss Risenwall. Good luck." I turned the Time Turner 7 times and saw nothing but a blur whirling past me before I landed in what would be Dumbledore's office in the future.
A man looked up at me. I took a quick look at the paper Dumbledore had handed me earlier.
"Hello. Who are you?" I handed him the piece of paper from Professor Dumbledore. "I didn't realize we were expecting a transfer student. Must be a lat minute transfer." "Um, Yes sir." "Very well follow me." He knocked on what must be Dumbledore's office door.
"Professor Dumbledore. Were you aware we had a new transfer student?" "Yes, Headmaster, I was just informed yesterday evening. I was going to tell you as we speak."
"Well Miss Lafarge follow me so we can get you sorted." Dumbledore spoke before beckoning me into his office. He grabbed the Sorting Hat off a desk and had me sit on a 3 legged stool before he placed it on my head.
"Ambition, clever." "I have to be with Tom Riddle." "Very well, Slytherin!" It shouted. I hopped off the stool and looked up at Dumbledore.
"You know what to do Stella." I nodded and head to the Slytherin dormitory. That's when I realized I didn't know the password, so I guessed.
"Pureblood." "Very well." See, going to the library did me some good. Alone time yay! I headed up to the Slytherin girl's dormitory and sat down on the bed where my trunk was by. It was a couple of hours before the welcoming feast so I decided to think about what I would do. Then it hit me, if he made his first horcrux in his 7th year or so, Why don't I hide all the books on horcuxes? I ran to the library as fast as I could and entered the restricted section.
"Macgick Most Evile... Aha! Found it!" I know it doesn't describe horcruxes much, but still better than nothing. Now all I needed was Secrets of The Darkest Art. Come on- found it! I grabbed both of them and ran back to the dormitory and hid them all the way at the bottom of my trunk, hoping to Merlin he didn't Accio them.
15 minutes before they get here on the train. Why is it that I always have to run?
Alright I finally finished this! Please review! Thanks to all my faithful readers and to LeafANBU24601 for favoriting my story! See you in the next chapter! Bye!
