WHEN ANASTASIA WAS away in Russia, chaos happened in the castle of Hogwarts.

Hermione was petrified with many others.

Harry and Ron found the diary of Tom Marvolo Riddle.

Orion, Dumbledore and a few others who knew him gasped.

"What is it?" The people who didn't know asked.

"Nothing." The future travellers said, not wanting to spoil the plot.

The only problem was, there was nothing written in the diary to help them.

Now, Anastasia, Ophiuchus, Harry and Ron were sitting in the Gryffindor common room.

"So, you mean to tell me that I was away for two days and Hermione got petrified." Anastasia slowly said.

"Yes." Harry nodded.

"Fools, the lot of you! I strictly told you to protect Hermione as she is a muggle-born." Anastasia huffed.

"Better reaction than we imagined." Ron mumbled as Harry nudged him.

"And we found this diary." Harry started.

"I really hate diaries and they keep coming back. Fucking bundle of mysteries." Anastasia mumbled as Harry and Ron looked suspiciously at her.

"Same." Bella mumbled.

"What, Vega means to say is that what kind of diary did you get?" Ophiuchus said as he glared at Anastasia.

"This." Harry took it out, the engraving 'Tom Marvolo Riddle' flashing.

Anastasia takes it and gently runs her index finger on the engraving.

"Tom Marvolo Riddle, this name— I heard it somewhere, I don't know where." She whispered.

"I will ask my parents if they know, something." Ron says.

"Absolutely not! You can't just go shouting around and telling people about this." Ophiuchus whisper-yelled and Ron nodded in fear.

"Whatever it is, we must quickly find something." Harry pleaded.

"Of course, it's almost curfew. We'll see you tomorrow. I have a few things to do." Anastasia says as she stands up and leaves with Ophiuchus.

"Strange." Harry said.

"Well, she is LeStrange." Ron shrugged.

"That's the most dumbest joke." Rodolphus and Rabastan huffed.

"I didn't know, you said that." Anastasia laughed.

Ron just shrugged, his ears turning red as he looked away embarrassed.

"Haha! Very funny, Ron." Harry says sarcastically and leaves for his dorm.

The scene changes to Harry flipping through the blank pages of the diary. Harry almost keeps the diary aside, when he notices a bottle of ink sitting on the desk.

An idea flickers, he takes his quill, dips it, and hesitates but as he does, a drop of ink hangs, suspended like a tear, then drops.

The ink blazes briefly, then vanishes as if it were sucked into the page.

"This is when you should have told us, Potter." Anastasia tells him seriously.

"I told Ron!" Harry protested.

Excited, Harry dips his quill again and writes,

My name is Harry Potter.
