Life is a Riddle

Who are you?

3rd person POV

On the highest floor and in the darkest room sat a little girl. Her almost black, wavy hair, blew in the breeze as she sat on the window sill. A thin black snake was wrapped around her waist, gripping onto her reassuringly. A knock sounds on the door.

Cassiopeia's POV

"M-miss Cassiopeia, you have a visitor." I hear Ms. Cole say from the other side of the door. I get down, she is hesitant to open the door, but it opens regardless. I look at the man, his flowing robes make him over dramatically enter.

"Hello Ms. Cole." I say politely. The man dismisses her and she looks at me scared but shuts the door.

"You must be hear to take me to the asylum?" I say with a smirk.

"No Miss Cassiopeia, I'm Professor Snape. I work at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I've come to collect you to get your supplies." I look at him doubtfully.

"Excuse me? You realize I'm not an idiot correct?" I tell him with a glare.

"If you are from this 'wizard school' show me something." I say with a smirk. He pulls a stick out of his robes and points it at my clothes. The tattered, dirty clothes, turn brand new. The color coming back to them, and my worn shoes patch together. I look at him in wonder.

"That explains some things." I tell him shocked.

"What things?" He asks.

"Let's just say, bad things happen to people who cross me." I tell him with a faked look of guilt. He hands me a letter that reads.

'Cassiopeia Riddle'

I look at it curiously.

"I didn't know my last name was Riddle. How interesting." I say with a smirk. I open it and read it carefully.

"Who would WANT a toad. Would it be possible to have an animal that's not on the list?" I ask.

"Depends on how well you can hide it." He says and I smile.

"Well Professor, shall we be off?" I say, getting down to business. He nods and holds his arm out. I grab it confused and suddenly I feel like I'm being shoved through a straw. We hit the floor and I quickly compose myself.

"A warning next time would be greatly appreciated." I tell him and let go. We enter a large building called Gringotts Bank. I look at the creatures in awe and we walk up to someone.

"Hello, we need one blood test. Make it quick, we have things to do." He tells the creature. The creature looks up then hands me a paper and a dagger.

"Prick your finger, let 7 drops fall onto the paper, then hand it back." It tells me. I nod and pick up the knife wearily. I look to Snape and he nods. I make a cut on my index finger and watch 7 drops fall. The wound instantly heals and I hand it back the paper in shock. The thing nods and escorts us to an office.

"I am Raktor, the Riddle Family Goblin. Here is your Key to the Slytherin vault. If you have any questions, ask, this pouch is charmed so when you reach in, it has the exact amount you need in it. You can go down to your vault if you wish, you can take whatever you want out." I look to Snape.
