Today is the day.

I have avoided any human being since last night. I couldn't sleep, because whenever I closed my eyes all I could see was Tom in pain.

Classes were over, and it was dinner. I was skipping dinner to go to the chamber so at the moment I was in the girls bathroom.

What do I say

It opened.

I guess anything in parseltounge.

I turned the pencil into a sword, and I entered.

It was really dark

" Lumos" I whispered, and my wand lit up.

It was dinner time, and Malfoy and Lestrange kept talking about the most random things, which made me really irritated.

All my thoughts went back to last night though. Did I feel bad? No. Just even more confused than before.

Who was Ava?

How does she speak parseltounge?

How did she know about Voldemort?

I did it.

I examined my body, noticed it was full of scratches and the creatures blood.

I heard a shuffling from behind me.

It knows I'm here.

"Who are you?" The creature asked

"Ava. Ava Riddle."

"Impossible."

" its actually quite possible." I responded.

"Tom is the only heir of Slytherin."

"In this time yes."

And with that I made my sword visible.

It was a long, tough fight, one I almost lost.

I quickly got out of the chamber and went to a stall to change clothes. My scratches were visible, but nothing makeup couldn't fix.

I headed up to my dorm, and it was luckily as dinner was ending so I was greatful for that.

I headed to bed and later their remembering the events from 3rd year with the chamber of secrets.

It was the only time when Potter and I actually talked, other than in Dumbledores Army

"I believe you heard the voices Harry."

" you do?" He asked

"Yes, because I heard them too."

"Wait your a-"

"Yea, I am."

"What's your name?"

"Ava. Ava Riddle" a young 13 year old me said

"Riddle. That sounds familiar. Who are your parents?"

"I grew up in an orphanage so I wouldn't know."

---

Harry and I talked, but Ron never trusted me because I was a Slytherin, and because of that the friendship only lasted about 2 weeks.

I thought back to the DA. It took so much convincing to let a Slytherin join.

I remember I found out who my parents were by then, and I was to scared to ever tell Harry, even if he had a right to know.

It was right after our 3rd meeting and I finally aproached Harry.

"Harry."

"Ava."

"I figured out who my parents are, but I assume you figured it out."

"I figured out your dad."

"My mom went to another Magic school, her name was Annabelle Walker."

"Cool."

"Harry, I'm so sorry about my dad. I'm ashamed to even hold the name Riddle."

"Ava..."

"I'm sorry."

"Our parents do not define us."

Easy for him to say, his parents were Lily Evans and James Potter.

I just looked at him, and walked away, and didn't look back.

I layed on my bed, remembering my moments at Hogwarts, the simple things, such as my crush on Fred Weasley, or my innocent First year, the only year it was peaceful at Hogwarts with me.

I smiled, thinking back to when I would watch the Weasley twins from a far in my 5th year. I remember seeing them fight with the beards with the Triwizard Cup.

I always admired them, they always made me laugh when I needed it most.

But of course it would never happen, as I am a Slytherin.

I remember being young and never understanding how I ever got into Slytherin. That was of course, before I learned of my bloodline.

I was always the girl in the background. The one no one saw or noticed.

It was fine though, because in the end, if they had realized who I was, it would have been much worse.

I grasped the locket my mom gave me when I was born, it was all I had left.
