Torchwick or Grindelwald

Chapter 6: The Black Book

Hogwarts No POV

Ron and Harry were walking up the stairs coming from the Great Hall.

Ron; have you spoken with Hermione?

Harry: she should be out of the hospital in a few days, when she stops coughing up fur balls.

They see the floor wet.

Harry; what's this?

They follow the water trail.

Ron; yuck! Looks like Moaning Myrtle's flooded the bathroom.

They went over to the bathroom as they see all the sink taps opened as they heard Myrtle moaning while sitting by the window.

Myrtle: come to throw something else at me?

Harry; why would I throw something at you?

Myrtle: don't ask me. Here I am, minding my own business, and someone thinks it's funny to throw a book at me.

Ron: but it can't hurt if someone throws something at you. I mean, it'll just go right through you.

Myrtle:<goes right to Ron's face> oh, sure! Let's all throw books at Myrtle because she can't feel it. Ten points if you get it through her stomach! Fifty points if it goes through her head!

Harry; but who threw it at you anyway?

Myrtle: I don't know. I didn't see them. I was just sitting in the U-bend, thinking about death, and it fell through the top of my head. Mm-hm. <floats away sobbing>

Harry sees a black book in the ground and picks up even if it was wet.

Meanwhile

Wade was at the courtyard just looking at the sky as he felt more at peace. His headaches were gone for the time being but he knew it was just a matter of time before they resurface. He was drinking a glass of water as Merula walked over and sat next to him.

Merula: so, is there any reason you're here all alone?

Wade: just wanted to be alone for a while. My headaches are gone.

Merula: that's good. You're gonna catch a cold out here.

Wade: maybe some time in bed will do me some good. Just go back to the dormitory, I'll make my way to the common room shortly.

Merula: if you say so. Just don't stay out too late.

Merula leaves as Wade went to his common room 5 minutes after.

Gryffindor Common Room

Harry was looking at the black book, flipping the pages, inspecting it closely but the pages were just blank. He looked at the back of the book and it said at the bottom "Tom Marvolo Riddle". He didn't recognize the name as he never heard it before on Hogwarts or anywhere else. At least not those three words together. He flipped it to a page as he got a quill and dipped it on a jar of ink. He let a drop of ink fall on the paper but then it disappeared.

Harry couldn't believe it as he even flipped the page but the pages were all dry. He started to test it out.

Harry:<while writing> my name is Harry Potter.

It took a second for what Harry wrote to disappear and replace with a sentence written in fancy hand writing as if the book was responding back.

Book: Hello Harry Potter, my name is Tom Riddle.

The sentence disappeared a second after as well.

Harry:<while writing> do you know anything about the Chamber of Secrets?
