Riddles Past and What's Behind It (Demo)

The Room of Requirement

Tom Riddle: (enters the Room of Requirements with four students) So, you want to create a Horcrux. I can help you with that.

Student 1: (surprised) You know how to create a Horcrux?

Tom Riddle: (smiling slyly) Of course, I do. Creating a Horcrux is not for the faint-hearted, but it's worth it.

Student 2: (cautiously) What do you want in return?

Tom Riddle: (smiling again) Nothing, really. I just want to be a part of this project. The creation of a Horcrux is a magical feat that requires the expertise of multiple people.

Student 3: (nodding) Okay, then. So, what's the first step?

Tom Riddle: (taking out a small, black book) The first step is to split your soul. You need to perform a spell that will split your soul into two parts.

Student 4: (nervously) But won't that be dangerous?

Tom Riddle: (smirking) Of course it is. But if you want to create a Horcrux, you have to take risks.

Student 1: (determined) Alright, let's do it.

Tom Riddle: (nodding) Good. The spell is called "Avada Kedavra." You must use this spell on someone to split your soul.

Student 2: (shocked) What? That's the killing curse!

Tom Riddle: (calmly) Yes, it is. But if you want to create a Horcrux, you must be willing to kill.

Student 3: (backing away) I don't want to do this. This is madness!

Tom Riddle: (angrily) Fine, then. If you're not willing to do what it takes, then you're not worthy of being a part of this project.

Student 4: (hesitantly) I'll do it.

Tom Riddle: (smiling) Good. Now, take this wand and use the spell on that student over there.

Student 1: (alarmed) Wait, what? No, we can't do this!

Tom Riddle: (threateningly) Either you do it, or I'll make sure the entire school knows what you've been up to.

Student 2: (reluctantly) Okay, fine. But we have to make sure we don't get caught.

And so, the group went on to perform the dark magic, creating a Horcrux out of the ring. However, they would soon learn that the price they paid for such power was too high.

Dumbledore: Tom, we need to talk.

Riddle: Dumbledore. What brings you to my humble abode?

Dumbledore: Tom, I'm afraid I have reason to believe that you have created a horcrux.

Riddle: A horcrux? Me? How dare you accuse me of such a thing!

Dumbledore: I have evidence, Tom. The murders of Myrtle Warren, for a start. And then there is the matter of the diary.

Riddle: The diary was destroyed, Dumbledore. You saw to that yourself.

Dumbledore: Yes, I did. But I'm afraid that you have created others. You see, Tom, I have been researching horcruxes for a long time. I know what to look for.

Riddle: You have no proof, Dumbledore.

Dumbledore: I don't need proof, Tom. I can sense it. The darkness that surrounds you. The evil that emanates from you. It's unmistakable.

Riddle: (laughs) You think you can defeat me, Dumbledore? You're a fool. I am more powerful than you could ever imagine.

Dumbledore: It's not about power, Tom. It's about doing what is right. And creating horcruxes is never right.
