Evil in Riddles {Tom Riddle} (Wattys 2018)

18|| "Why are you such a riddle?"

"Serena?"

There stood Melody, wearing a white dress, barefooted. She was staring at Serena, who had a very familiar diadem, yet still different.

"Do you know that you have a twin sister?"

Serena froze, then stared back at Melody, as if she was crazy. Melody then continued.

"Your mother was the Heir of Ravenclaw, while your father was the Heir of Slytherin.

You see, when two Heirs had twins as first-born children, their descendancy is split into two.

Meaning, one of you is the Heir of Slytherin, while the other is the Heir of Ravenclaw.

You, Serena Elizabeth Gaunt, is the Heir of Slytherin. While your twin sister, Elena Merope Gaunt, is the Heir of Ravenclaw.

But remember this, you are Evil, the Dark Lady. But your sister is Good. Be careful, because one wrong move, then Good will destroy us all"

Serena woke up, shocked. She turned to the mirror, then gasped.

She now had Slytherin green hair (fully), and emerald green eyes. She also wore a diadem very familiar to Ravenclaw's diadem, yet different.

It had emeralds instead of sapphires, and instead of a raven, it was a serpent. Then, she realized something.

It was the diadem given for Slytherin's heiress.

A few months later....

"Welcome, everyone! Welcome to new First Years, and Welcome Back to the Older Years!

I would just like to say that we have a new Seventh Year transfer student! Let us all welcome, Selena Slytherin!"

Everyone gasped at the surname, as Selena (Serena) went and put on the Sorting Hat.

"SLYTHERIN!!!" It shouted instantly, and Selena hopped off the stool and went to the Slytherin Table.

Tom then went and shook Selena's hand.

"Greetings, Slytherin. Pleasure to have you here" He said and Selena just nodded.

"Pleasure to meet you too, Riddle. You must be Head Boy, right?"

"Indeed, I am"

"Who's Head Girl?"

Tom was indeed impressed by the character of the other Heir of Slytherin, and he was going to answer her question when he was interrupted.

"I am" shouted one Cassiopeia Malfoy, smirking.

It turns out that everyone was staring at the two, interested. Selena only smirked.

"Headmaster Dippet!" She shouted, and said Headmaster came running to her command.

Everyone sat there, shocked. No one can order Hogwarts Headmaster like that, never!

"Yes?" Said Headmaster asked politely.

"Comparing my record in my former school and her present record, who do you think is more deserving to be Head Girl?"

"You, of course" Headmaster Dippet said then went and took Cassiopeia's Head Girl Badge then gave it to Selena.

"Congratulations!" Everyone then gasped at the sudden change of the Headmaster's character, while Selena secretly smirked.

"Thank you very much, Headmaster Dippet" she said with a fake smile. He only nodded then went back to the Head Table.

She turned back to look at Tom who is very much shocked. She then gave him another fake smile.

"Looks like I'm Head Girl"

"Impossible" he muttered. Unfortunately, Selena heard.

"Oh, nothing's impossible. This is a World of Magic. Anything can happen" she said then left the Great Hall.

As she was walking to the Head Dorms, she was suddenly pushed against the wall by one Tom Marvolo Riddle.

"Who are you really?" He said. She only smirked.

"The question is, who are you?" He gritted his teeth.

"Don't play stupid games, Slytherin"

"Oh, done with the Perfect Head Boy façade, aren't we?" She said mockingly.

"Oh, Riddle, why are you such a riddle?"

He glared at her, yet she only smirked.

"What's it to you?" He said. She only gave him a fake innocent smile.

"Because I know you want to be a Dark Lord"

He then smirked, and pointed his wand at her.

"Such a pity, because now I have to kill you"

"Oh, you wouldn't want to kill me"

"And why is that?"

"Because who would be mad enough to kill an Heir of Slytherin and a Dark Lady?"

He paused, then looked back at her.

"Serena?"

"The one and only" she said then started walking away.

Yet neither knew that a certain Professor was watching them the entire time, worrying about how to prevent them from being Evil for Good.

OKAY! I suppose the Professor is quite obvious so I think that's it?
