My Past Lover

A strange notebook and a new friend

I was lounging at the library reading a novel that I have found on one of the many shelves that this library contains. The library is certainly my favorite part of this manor. The smell of the old books and the atmosphere was just comforting.

Malfoy Manor Library

I was perched on my personal arm chair that my mother bought for me on my 8th birthday.
She knew I took a great liking to books and she wanted to provide me a chair that I could comfortably sit in while reading. The arm chair was made with rare dark ebony wood and it's plush is made of rich velvet that is coated in Emerald Green.

I was half-way done when some random thought popped in my mind.

'The notebook that I bought at Flourish & Blotts'

Foolishly enough I had almost forgotten about it. I was too preoccupied on the situations that happened during my third year at Hogwarts.

'What a blast that was' I mentally scoffed

I closed my book, not forgetting to mark the pages with my wooden hand-made bookmark.
I placed it carefully on my side table and stood up. I went towards my bedroom to retrieve the old notebook.

I sat on my desk after retrieving the object and
I placed it in front of me and observed the notebook again. It's design was beautiful but the letter written inside was what fascinated me the most.

I was re-reading the letter when I saw the initial that I certainly saw before.

T.M.R

"Huh? Wasn't this written on the bench at Hogsmeade..." I whispered to myself

Who could this be?

The notebook didn't contain any words except for the letter so I picked up my quill and tried to write something.

'Vela Luciana Malfoy'

My name suddenly disappeared into the notebook and then words started to appear on the page

'Vela...'

I looked at it wide-eyed wondering who in Merlin's beard wrote that. I quickly wrote a reply asking who this is, hoping to receive a reply back.

'Hello, who is this?'

'Tom Marvolo Riddle'

"Tom Marvolo Riddle...." I murmured

T...M...R

'You're T.M.R' I wrote

'Yes. That is my initial' it replied

'Where do you come from? What kind of book is this?'

'It's quite difficult to explain'
