The Twins Who Lived

Tom Riddle

{Harry, Hermione, Neville, Ron, Daphne, Draco, Astoria, Dahlia, Pansy, Theo, and Blaise Materialized in the Hogwarts entrance hall, it looked the same as it does now}

"Where are we? " Draco asked looking around, "I think...... I think we're in a memory" Hermione said, "look" Harry pointed towards an older boy on the steps, "that must be home riddle" Dahlia said. They gasped as a wizard walked by a stretcher following behind them, the blanket covering the body's face "Riddle. Come." Dumbledore said, they turned to look at him, as did riddle "damn albie's young, think this is when Minnie got the hots for him? " blaise asked, "not yet, she would be a 5th year right now" Dahlia said.

Minerva blushed, sputtering as she tried to deny their words " don't worry minmin, we all know it happened 7th year" Fred teased

"Professor Dumbledore." Riddle greeted "It is not wise to be wandering around at this late hour, Tom." Dumbledore chastised, "Yes Professor, I suppose I... I had to see for myself if the rumors were true." Riddle said putting on a face of sadness and disbelief. "He has a good mask, I'll give him that" Daphne said, the other slytherin's agreeing, " I'm afraid they are, Tom. They are true." Dumbledore said sadly, "About the school as well? I don't have a home to go to. They wouldn't really close Hogwarts, would they, Professor?" Riddle said, a hint of desperation in his voice. Harry and Dahlia shared a look, they knew how that felt, "I understand, Tom, but I'm afraid Headmaster Dippet may have no choice." Dumbledore said,
"Sir, if it all stopped... if the person responsible was caught..." Riddle asked, deep in thought. "I don't like that look in his eye" Dahlia said, "what look? " Ron asked, "he's plotting" Draco explained. "Is there something you wish to tell me?" Dumbledore asked, looking at him, "No, sir. Nothing." Riddle said after a moment's thought "Very well then. Off you go." Dumbledore said after giving riddle a look, "Goodnight, sir." Riddle said.

Dahlia paused the movie and stood up "what happens after this is the reason why hagrid had been expelled, I will say this now. Hagrid is innocent, the real culprit is shown later, once this is over, hagrid will come back in, there better not be a single look of fear or judgement. Understand? " she said, looking at the Hall, the group nodded, having no wish to be on her bad side again.

{The scene changes to a door in the dungeons, The group and Tom stand outside of a door}

Riddle opened the door revealing a younger hagrid, behind a large box

"Let's get you out of there." Hagrid whispered to the box, "Evening, Hagrid.  I'm going to have to turn you in, Hagrid. I don't think you meant it to kill anyone, but..." Riddle said, his voice full of fake sympathy. "He's trying to guilt trip hagrid" Dahlia said, a look of anger on her face, "hagrid couldn't have done it regardless, he's not a parselmouth" Harry pointed out.

"You can't! You don't understand!" Hagrid said in distress "The dead girl's parents will be here tomorrow. The least Hogwarts can do is make sure the thing that killed their daughter is slaughtered." Riddle said, his wand trained on the box, "It wasn't him! Aragog never killed no one, never!" Hagrid swore. "Monsters don't make good pets, Hagrid. Now, stand aside." Riddle said "No!" Hagrid said "Stand aside, Hagrid!" Riddle demanded, "No!" Hagrid refused again. " Cistem Aperio!" Riddle cast, the spell hit the box, causing it to burst open, a giant spider came crawling out, Ron screamed, jumping into Theo's arms, Draco shrieked, jumping into Blaise's arms, Hermione squealed, launching herself into dahlia's arms, Daphne, pansy and Astoria jumped back, hiding behind the boys, Neville squeaked and took a step back, Dahlia awed, looking at the adorable spider.

The twins busted out into laughter, holding each other "theirs the screamers, the squealers, the shriekers, the nonchalant and then theirs Dahlia, looking at it like it's her next pet" George wheezed

" Arania Exumai!" Riddle cast, only for the spell to miss, the spider escaped into the night "Aragog! Aragog!" Hagrid called, trying to go after the spider only to have riddle's wand leveled at him. "I can't let you go. They'll have your wand for this, Hagrid. You'll be expelled." Riddle said, Hagrid looked down in shame. "That Bloody bastard! He framed hagrid!" Dahlia said fumming, the group moved slightly, the blinding light returning before they appeared once again in the common room.
