Light // Severus Snape // (2.1)

Shame on you Albus

'Head master?' lula questioned entering Albus' office.

'Professor Malfoy, come in, come in.' albus requested standing up to greet her. but lula noticed the diary on his desk.

'Can i see that?' Lula questioned pulling the diary away from albus.

'This belongs to you as well.' albus said handing over the ring. She let it sit on the desk though. Albus waited patiently for her to slip the ring on but she didn't. she flipped through the pages, a serpents fang was dug into it. Searing through the middle. A hole big enough to look through, she stared down at it running her fingers over the hole. She wanted to sob but she bit her lip instead. Such simpler times, lula thought as she put the book down she looked to the ring.

'may i?' she questioned. Albus nodded but she didn't put it on. She slipped it into her pocket.

'I'm sure you are wondering why I called you here... these are all memory pertaining to Tom Riddle.' Albus handed a vial out to Lula. 'I would like you to see it.' Albus told her, he darkened the room as lula peered into the pensive, watching the memory. She watched the memory come to life.

'No one comes to visit Tom,' the woman was telling a young albus. 'he has been nasty here to children.'

'how do you do Tom?' Dumbledore questioned coming to Tom's room at the orphanage.

'Youre the doctor arnt you?' a young tom questioned.

'No I am at Professor.' Albus corrected.

'I do not believe you.' Tom informed him. 'she wants someone to fix me, she thinks I'm mad but im not mad.' Tom assured him.

'I believe you,' albus said sincerely. 'There is a school for kids like you, a school for kids with magic. You can do things cant you?'

'I can move things without touching them. Hurt people without touching them if I want.' Tom admitted.

'I'm like you Tom' albus told him. 'I am like you.'

'Prove it.' Tom demanded an albus set his wardrobe on fire without ever touching it, without even moving.

'I think there's Something in there,' albus told him calmly. 'something trying to get out.' Tom went to it opening it up when he closed it the wardrobe sealed shut the fire going out. 'at hogwarts you would learned to control this magic but there will be no stealing' albus informed him.

'I can speak to snakes to.' Tom called after him as albus left. 'they find me... is that normal for someone like me?' Lula was pulled out of the vision.

'Did you know?'

'Did i know i just met the most powerful dark wizard of all time? No.'

'Yet you knew all this about tom and you came after me?' lula questioned incredulously. 'shame on you albus.' She whispered leaving.
