Slytherin Heiress ☑

-22-

I thought I would cry myself to sleep that night. But something on my bed caught my eyes. It was something wrapped up in silver wrapping.

Late Christmas gift from someone?

Confused, I went to open the parcel. There was a parchment attached to it. I unfolded it and read it out.

Conceal yourself, hide yourself, be unseen until you know everything.

~Harry Potter

From Mr. Potter? What could this be? I opened the parcel and took the weird looking cloak out. Just when I spread it across my legs, it was gone. My legs were gone! When I tried to feel it, I could feel my legs but it was invisible.

Its an invisibility cloak! I excitedly put it around my neck making rest of my body invisible. I have read the story of Peverel Brothers and the book was gifted to me to search my parents. I never knew what was the connection, but now I knew why it was connected.

Voldemort was one of the few people in the world who once owned deathly hallows as I read in many books except for this one.

I took out the box of time turner from drawer and kept it with the invisibility cloak. Should I do this right now?

Oh, but wait. I think I should first learn to teleport.

I decided that I will talk with the headmistress another day and went to sleep after keeping those in safe place.

I knocked on the door and reply came as if it was waiting for me, "come in," she said.

I opened the door slowly which revealed the antique room of headmistress.

"Yes, Miss Rowle," Professor McGonagall said from behind the desk.

"Professor, I need your help,"

"What kind of help, dear?"

"Teleportation is taught at the 6th year and I know it, but I want to learn it urgently. I need to learn, please," I pleaded her and she stopped her work and looked at me through her round specs.

"But why is it so important?" she asked.

I think I should not hide anything from the headmistress. I thought she might throw me out of the Hogwarts after hearing the whole story, but surprisingly, she just nodded as if I was telling her some facts.

"Aren't you surprised...?" I asked being unsure about her reaction.

"I was expecting something like this. Professor Dumbledore had told me how you look exactly like your mother. Delphini who used to be his student before he was head of the Hogwarts. He suggested me to send you the book but it wasn't quite much of a clue, it seems," she said.

So she was the one who gifted the book!

"I can arrange a special class for you. But you are not allowed to miss any of your other classes," she said with warning tone.

"I think the time-turner will help," I said with confidence and she nodded in approval.

"Okay then. I will arrange a special class for you. Come back tomorrow for reassuring the class timing with Professor Williams," she said and then I was dismissed from the room.

Two days later, I hung the time-turner from my neck and covered myself with invisibility cloak an hour after the appointed time.

I turned the time turner to go back to an hour before and I rushed into Professor Williams' teaching room, being careful not to smack into anyone in the way.

A week passed by and I was doing quite good job and it was Saturday when Professor Williams said that it was time he wanted to see my real skill.

We went to Hogsmade where teleport was possible.

I teleported from a shop to the hill where he was waiting to see me.

I had never teleported so much of distance before since I always teleported from one corner to another corner in the classroom.

I was successfully trained on teleporting and was finally ready to find out the whole truth. Finally I was ready with teleportation skill, a time-turner and the invisibility cloak.

At midnight, I got my time-turner, invisibility cloak and my wand ready on the bed. I changed my clothes, covering myself in all black even though I would be unseen under the invisibility cloak.

It was finally the time I was going to find out the entire truth.

I have talked with Professor Dumbledore once from his portrait and he even told me that I might get stuck in the past if I don't use the time-turner correctly so I was scared like anything.

All these days, I have been avoiding Ted who constantly tried to talk with me. I felt bad but I just kept on avoiding him. And for Sarah and Zaff was in relationship, I left them for themselves most of the time so I spent most of these days alone.

I constantly gulped while stroking the time-turner in my hand.

I finally made up my mind and wrapped myself in the invisibility cloak and hung the time turner from my neck.

I sneaked out from the common room and out of the dungeon area.

But how will I recognize the young Voldemort?

Oh, wait. I will just go near Griffindor tower and will spot my mother instead.

It took me like 10 minutes to reach there and finally it was time that I was going back into the past.

Into the past, to know the truth.

I guess that was quite fast update. I hope you guys like the story as much as I like writing this story. The next update will be on Saturday so stay tuned! :)
