1992

Dumbledore was facing Harry looking at the Sword of Gryffindor embedded with the Basilisks venom. He then with his boney hands picked up and looked at the diary with the words 'Tom Marvolo Riddle' engraved at the bottom in gold. A huge hole was in the centre were the fang was stabbed into the book.

He eyed it before turning back to Harry who was covered in dust from the chamber. He looked on.

'Professor Dumbledore, why would Tom make a book a Horcrux?' Harry asked

'Now, Harry. He wrote all of his thoughts down in this very book. Most of them I remember were about a girl called Venus Ravenclaw.He took a certain interest in her.' Dumbledore replied knowing about their lives seeming he taught both of them were at Hogwarts.

'Pardon me, but what does this girl Venus Ravenclaw have to do with Voldemort?' Harry questioned

'He had a certain history with her. When they were both at Hogwarts, she was more powerful and extraordinary than Tom Riddle. She was the heir to Ravenclaw. They had an immense rivalry and hatred to one another. But it all changed' Dumbledore went on

'What history? But I don't get it. Why was she so important?' Harry looked at the diary

'She was important because she was the reason he has become so powerful yet dangerous. She was the reason he made Horcruxes. She was smart, and he took advantage of that, but it developed into something more' Dumbledore went on

'You knew her? You taught her didn't you. But Voldemort only wants power, no wonder he used her. He probably never even thought about her as something more' Harry gasped shockingly

'Yes, I knew her. She was a brilliant young witch. I did teach her, she was everything. But your wrong Harry. He did love her, very dearly but nobody has ever brought it up. He only loved her, they call their love the 'sinful love'. All the teachers know about this but are forbidden to ever speak of it. Now of you go to bed pip pip' Dumbledore beckoned

'Can you tell me more? Why do they call it the sinful love?' Harry asked

'That is a question for another day, Harry. She knows things others don't, she knows how to end Voldemort, she knows everything. The two were inseparable but made a dangerous yet very powerful duo.' Dumbledore looked at Harry

'Do you know if she is alive?' Harry asked at the door of Dumbledore's office

'No, she died of Spattergriot. A contagious disease, it was fatal. But Voldemort wanted to avenge her by becoming then man he is today.' Dumbledore said sadly

'So everything he did or is doing, is for her?' Harry questioned

'Yes, he believes that if people couldn't save other people then they were incapable of performing magic. And he uses the representation of Venus Ravenclaw, in defence.' Dumbledore lowers his head

'Did she leave anything at Hogwarts? You know to give us more insight' Harry asked curiously

'I have no idea, but her life is the only ticket to defeating Voldemort' Dumbledore exclaimed lowly

'Can you tell me? Everything' Harry asked

'For another day, Harry' Dumbledore put his hands up

Harry left with many questions, he needed to consult Hermione and Ron, and fast. Everyone had been back to normal, by now.

He then went to the Gryffindor common room and found Hermione with Ron. On the sofa.

'Hermione! Ron! Dumbledore told me something about Tom Riddle!' Harry puffed out
