Riddles Past and What's Behind It (Demo)

Departure

The evaluation of the quest had finally come, and all the participants gathered in the Great Hall, eager to hear the results. The air was filled with tension and excitement as Headmaster Dippet took to the stage to announce the winners.

He cleared his throat and began, "I am pleased to announce that the winners of the quest are none other than Tom Riddle and Genevieve! They have demonstrated exceptional knowledge, skill, and determination throughout the challenges, and have proven themselves to be outstanding wizards and witches."

The crowd erupted into applause, and Genevieve and Tom stood up to receive their awards. As they walked up to the stage, they were congratulated by Spencer-Moon, Dumbledore, and Victor.

Spencer-Moon smiled at them and said, "You two have truly exceeded our expectations. Your dedication, intelligence, and strength have been inspiring. Congratulations on a job well done."

Dumbledore added, "Your performance in the quest has shown us that you have what it takes to become great wizards and witches. I have no doubt that you will make us proud in your future endeavors."

Victor, who had been watching them closely throughout the quest, stepped forward and said, "You two have proven that you are not only skilled but also brave and resourceful. I have no doubt that you will go on to achieve great things in the wizarding world."

Genevieve and Tom were humbled by the praise they received and felt a sense of accomplishment wash over them. They knew that their hard work and dedication had paid off, and they were grateful for the opportunity to showcase their skills.

The atmosphere at Hogwarts had been electric for the last few days. The arrival of the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic had brought a sense of excitement and intrigue to the school. But now, it was time for them to depart, and Headmaster Dippet had assembled the entire Hogwarts student body in the Great Hall to bid them farewell.

As Dippet walked up to the podium, the students quieted down and looked at him expectantly. "Dear students," he began, "I hope you have all enjoyed the visit of our guests from Beauxbatons Academy of Magic. They have brought with them a wealth of knowledge, culture, and friendship that we will cherish for a long time to come."

The students clapped, and Dippet continued, "However, all good things must come to an end. It is with a heavy heart that I announce the departure of our friends from Beauxbatons. They will leave now, and we must bid them a fond farewell."

The students' faces fell, and there was a sense of sadness in the air. They had made new friends and learned so much from their guests. The thought of them leaving was hard to bear.

Dippet continued, "But let us not forget the lessons we have learned from them. Let us remember the bonds of friendship we have formed and the knowledge we have gained. Let us continue to build bridges with our fellow wizards and witches, both near and far."

The students nodded in agreement, and Dippet finished his speech, "I wish our guests from Beauxbatons Academy of Magic a safe journey back to their school. We will miss them dearly and hope that they will return to visit us soon. Until then, let us bid them a heartfelt farewell."

The students stood up and applauded, a mix of emotions on their faces. They had enjoyed the visit of the Beauxbatons students, and their departure was bittersweet. But they knew that they had gained so much from the experience and that the bonds of friendship they had formed would last a lifetime.

As the Hogwarts students bid farewell to the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, Tom Riddle and Genevieve stood together, looking out at the departing students. They had grown close over the past few weeks, and the thought of saying goodbye was hard to bear.

Tom turned to Genevieve and said, "I can't believe we're leaving. It feels like only yesterday that we've arrived."

Genevieve nodded, "I know, it went by so fast. But it was an amazing experience, and I'm grateful for it."

Tom smiled at her, "Me too. You were a great partner in the quest, and I couldn't have done it without you."

Genevieve blushed and looked away, "Thanks, Tom. You were pretty amazing too."

They stood in silence for a moment, taking in the moment. Then Tom spoke again, "Genevieve, can I ask you for a favor?"

"Sure, Tom. Anything," she replied.

Tom took a piece of parchment out of his pocket and handed it to her, "Can you send this message via owl post for me? It's important, and I trust you to handle it."

Genevieve looked at the parchment and nodded, "Of course, I'll make sure it gets to the right person."

Tom smiled, "Thanks, Genevieve. I knew I could count on you."

They hugged each other tightly, not wanting to let go. It was a bittersweet moment, knowing that they might not see each other for a long time.

As they parted, Tom said, "Take care, Genevieve. I'll miss you."

Genevieve replied, "I'll miss you too, Tom. Good luck with everything."

DIPPET CAME TOWARDS GENEVIEVE...

"Genevieve, may I have a word with you?" he said kindly.

"Of course, Headmaster," Genevieve replied, wondering what he could want.

Dippet took a seat on her bed and gestured for Genevieve to sit next to him. "I just wanted to say a few words before you leave. You have been an exemplary student during your time here at Hogwarts, and we are proud of all that you have accomplished."

Genevieve blushed at the praise, feeling both honored and humbled. "Thank you, Headmaster. It was an amazing experience, and I learned so much during my time here."

Dippet smiled warmly, "We will miss you, Genevieve. Your presence here has enriched our community, and we wish you all the best in your future endeavors."

"Thank you, Headmaster," Genevieve replied, feeling emotional at the thought of leaving. "I will always remember my time here at Hogwarts and the friendships I made."

Dippet nodded, "As will we. And remember, if you ever need anything, do not hesitate to reach out to us. You will always be welcome here."

Genevieve smiled, feeling grateful for the support of her Hogwarts family. "Thank you, Headmaster. I will remember that."

With that, Dippet rose from the bed and held out his hand. "Goodbye, Genevieve. May your future be bright and full of promise."

Genevieve shook his hand firmly, "Goodbye, Headmaster. Thank you for everything."
