Summary of THe UNtold STory OF THe DArklord
Author: Mysterious reader
Pit-pat-pit ….. Today it's raining cats and dogs. A quidditch training session was also cancelled because of this. Classes have also been over.Rose,Albus and Scorpious are going to Professor McGonagall's office as she asked them to help her clean the trophies won by the talented Wizards and Witches of Hogwarts.As they reach her office, Minerva was already cleaning the dirt of a old wooden chest having a shining (probably made of gold) Gryffindor Crest drawn on it. As Minerva finished her job,she suddenly noticed the Kids and Welcomed them in. After 2hrs or so the trophies present in the room were shining brightly after being cleaned from the dirt accumulated on them. Rose notices that the chest they had seen just after reaching the office was now on Minerva's Desk. Being someone very curious just like her mother,Rose asks McGonagall,"Professor what is inside that chest having the House crest on it"? Hearing Rose's question, Albus and Scorpious again took notice of the chest. With sadness in her eyes and a faint smile on her face Minerva casted her wand towards the chest,"Wingardium Leviosa". The chest levitated and landed in front of the three. Again pointing her wand McGonagall cast another spell or you can say chanted some words which was quite different from those which They have or are learning,
"Montrez les affaires de l'héritier décédé de Gryffindor ."
TRANSLATION
"Show the belongings of the Dead Heir of Gryffindor."
The chest opened emitting a bright light blinding All of them.As the light stopped emitting, Rose, Scorpious and Albus opened her eyes their eyes and saw a Triwizard Tournament cup, a old style of Gryffindor Witch uniform,a shiny wand (maybe made of some metal) with a wolf face mark on it,a photo frame having a thick layer of dust on it,a seeker memento, a diary and a quill made of gold. They noticed the wetting of McGonagall's eyes,as she clenched her teeth to stop the tears and slowly took up the photo frame and started wiping it with her bare hands with great care and gentleness. Which gradually revealed a picture of two boys (one of them a bit older) and girls with Professor Dumbledore and one of the Girls was Holding the Tournament cup. "Who is she?"Rose said, pointing towards that Girl. "Someone very close to me", sighed Minerva. As Albus and Scorpious were still rummaging in the Chest suddenly Scorpious said to Albus,"Isn't it the Symbol of that family which had the collaboration with the Potter's when your Great Grandpa introduced that Hair potion to market" directing towards the Quill which also had a Wolf face mark on the feather."You guessed correctly ,Scorpius", Minerva says. "But that family has gone missing quite mysteriously about a century ago , like they never existed",Rose said in suspicion. "Their disappearance happened after exactly 4 years, their daughter's death and their son was the first victim of the Muggle attack, Dad mentioned it to me while we were strolling in the garden", Albus said while not being able to sort the situation . Finally Minerva said,"Let me tell you all a story that may be able to solve your doubts".As Minerva sat near the fireplace and the children sat on the mat,like a Grandparent was going to tell a fable to the Grandchildren.
"It all started many years ago,the Hogwarts hall was bustling with talks. As headmaster Armando Dippet walked on to the platform and referring to the audience he said in a dense voice,"Students", it pierced through the talks and a cloud of silence took over the whole room.Again he says ," Today we all have accumulated here to welcome the new Wizards and Witches in Hogwarts, First all of you will go through the sorting ceremony in which the sorting hat would divide you among four houses based on their character traits , As Professor Dumbledore would read the names the students with corresponding names are requested to come on the stage" Headmaster Armando Dippet slowly went to his seat. As Dumbledore read out the names of the students,one by one students went up to the stage and were sorted to different houses."Tom Marvolo Riddle", Dumbledore said in the same loud voice but with a bit of enthusiasm as Tom was the same child he brought from the orphanage . A boy with curly bangs and otherwise straight hair went up to the stage as the Sorting hat was put on him,it immediately sorted him into Slytherin. This was a bit of suspicion that the decision was made a little too quick. Then I was called upon and was sorted into Gryffindor.After it the ceremony went smoothly,at last another special Name just like Tom's was called on the stage "Priyadarshini Roy",A girl went up to the stage everyone was staring at her in awe, despite being dark-skinned she was insanely beautiful. She had long thick black hair braided,doe like eyes, tinted natural red lips. Finally the sorting hat was put on her and the hat said something very strange,"It's been many years I have sorted the heir of one of the great magical families,as always you shall be sorted into 'GRYFFINDOR '". The girl herself also had a surprised look on her face. As she came down to sit at Gryffindor table while the feast started all other students specially the half-bloods and pure-blood had sat faraway from her like she was something very dangerous to them. I went to sit with her as I knew her very closely,we both resided in the same neighborhood and I knew that she is a mud-blood. Suddenly noticing me she said "Hey Minerva" with her all time bright smile "Hey we met after many days, I wanted to wave you a bye before coming to Hogwarts but Mr. Roy said that you have gone somewhere and won't be returning recently", I answered."Umm about that one of my father's friend noticed my magical abilities and had taken me with him to train me in Last Christmas",she said with a sigh "Did you notice that boy?"I asked"Which one?"
"That boy, Tom"
"Yes I did seniors are talking why did the sorting hat sorted him this quick",
"Why? Is it a bad thing to be sorted that quickly? Honestly I also think there is some problem with it, just think what it said that I, a pure mud-blood, is from a great magical family, my own parents never noticed their common friend being a wizard .."
"Okay leave what did you wanted to tell about, Tom"
"Oh yes, Is not that the same boy who used to play with us when we were little?"
"I don't think so that boy used to ignore you whereas this one is staring at from the start"
"Maybe he trying to recognise me, let's talk to him after the feast"
"As you say"
"Aish! Don't be so grumpy"
"Fine, fine"
After the feast ended as all students approached their common rooms she and stopped in the way of Tom, who didn't seemed surprised at all
"How are you Tom?" Priyadarshini asked him.
"So it's really you,Ms. Roy" He says
"Why are you being so formal?"she pouted.
"Then how should one refer to the Heir of a great magical fam.."
She cut off ,"You are angry because of that, you know na my both parents are muggles I am quite shocked too".
"Hmm okay"he answered like always
"So friends again"she offered her hand to shake, I noticed quite clearly how he clenched fist and with a weird smile he offered his hand too. But all these things went unnoticed by her.
After some days it was announced that this year's Triwizard Tournament was to be held in Hogwarts.
That day Dumbledore was taking our class . As always curious Myrtle asked him about the Triwizard Tournament "Triwizard Tournament"he said"Like its name this tournament is held between 3 wizards/witches 17 and up, chosen by the goblet there are 3 stages quite life risking,the one who wins at the end is honoured with The Trophy and 1000 galleons "
"Why is the age limit 17 and up?"Priyadarshini asked.
"That's how the goblet chooses,Priya. Wizards and Witches proper for the age puts their name in the Flaming Goblet and it chooses their names"
"What if there is some Witch or Wizard with magic potential but is underage, if they put their names will they be chosen?"
"Perhaps not, there must be a valid reason for the limit right"
"Why perhaps? Professor, is it not proven?"
"Nobody tried before, how about you trying it? I would talk with headmaster Dippet to permit"
"Professor why me?"
"Because it is the first time someone questioned this rule, maybe you can prove it wrong . I believe you can… don't worry if you get chosen all professors of Hogwarts would train you upto the best", he smiled.
*Bell rings*
As the class ended Dumbledore went out of the classroom.
I said,"why do you…."
"Stop…girl I am already in enough stress that if I get chosen what will I do? I don't want your nagging now"
"Ana!" We turned and saw Tom coming towards us while clutching the book.
"Hey Tom", " umm…. I….aa…" he was shuttering.
"Don't be so nervous"
"Actually, I wonder if we can study together in the Leisure….".
"No, she won't study with you boy", I cut him off.
"Minerva don't be so rude, I would love to study with you Tom but not today I have some work in the library for the rest of the day".
I noticed him blushing, obviously I was jealous I didn't want to share my bestie.
"I would study with you two"
"Ok then I think we should do this more often maybe you will then stop fighting with him". Saying she walked towards the library.
I noticed Tom smirking,"She would be mine, you can't stop it".
"Challenge accepted, let's see who wins".
Some days passed away ,we used to study together almost every day, revising everything, I noticed Priya catching feelings for Tom , so this time I had to test him out if he deserved her. Hogwarts was also being decorated for welcoming the other schools who were also coming to let their students participate in the name choosing. In meantime Priya was also informed that her name would also be given in the goblet, which was kept a secret. Finally came the day when the participants would be chosen.
At the Hall.
Headmaster Dippet was standing near the goblet while students and headmasters of other two schools(Uagadou, Mahotokoro) stood surrounding the stage where the goblet is kept.
He announced," Honourable Wizard and Witches today we all are here to know the chosen ones whom the goblet selects ,so let us all read out the decisions of the goblet". As he completed his speech a half burned chit landed on his "Sir Zyne from Uagadou", numerous claps were showered. Another chit came flying "From Hogwarts…" I could feel Priya trembling while clasping her hands together praying that she won't be chosen."Priyadarshini Roy". Everyone gasped that how can a witch, just 11 be chosen for the deadly battles of Triwizard Tournament. I saw Tom gesturing congratulations to her. Finally, Tanaka Ayomo from Mahotokoro. Priya being chosen miraculously was a great honour for Hogwarts, professors for the whole 3 months prepared her for the tournament advancing her magical abilities. Both of us,me and Tom, helped her as much as we could. Her family was invited by Headmaster Dippet personally. There we got to know that Priya was actually a pure-blood witch . Both of her parents were squibs but belonged to the top 5 magical families along with Potter's. Because they lacked magical abilities they had to leave their homes. Even though her parents didn't have magic still they added many important basics in her early year's studies, even her pet lizard came out to be a dragon which she tamed very perfectly. Due to all these advantages and being gifted, she for the first time in the history of magic won the Triwizard Tournament despite being an under age with great pomp and show . This photo was of that time, Dumbledore had the most contribution in her winning.Magic schools from all over the world showered her and her family with gifts and honours. Giving rise to the sixth magical family the most powerful of all. Mr. Roy was a good potion maker without using magic, after all these he finally had the courage to introduce his inventions to the magical world and they had a collaboration with the Potter's to spread it ,whole over the world. But this new beginning caused the main destruction. Slowly, the first year passed away peacefully, before coming home Priya thought about Tom that he will be left alone so talking with Authority she bought him with her, this made him more and more obsessed of her, he refused to share her with anyone he was crazy for her like a terminally ill person and she was his only cure . In the early stage of the second year Sorting hat announced her as the heir of Godric Gryffindor. Many things were gifted to her from Hogwarts after the announcement- A magical diary whose cover was made from skin of Gryffin, Rowena Ravenclaw's Diadem,Salazar Slytherin's locket , a ring from an unknown wizarding family .So, one may have supporters or not but an enemy is a must. There was a Girl who you can say was jealous of Priya in every aspect. She was someone who also registered for the Triwizard Tournament but wasn't chosen. She was also from a pure-blood family having magical parents and was disgusted by the idea of special treatment of Priya. So she decided to end it for once and all but it gave rise to a new story. Priya was not aware of the fact of jealousy. That day she was going to the library to study with Tom ,her wand was left behind in her dorm and I went for quidditch practice for an upcoming match. That girl was ready with her full proof plan. As Priya was on her way and had just gotten near the bridge that girl performed the deadliest curse on her from the back and while dying she fell from the bridge in the fast flowing water. At that time not many students used to go to the bridge so that girl thought no one would know that Priya was killed by her. But there was one thing she didn't know that Priya was not an ordinary magical child, Gryffindor himself chose her. As she fell into the water,big waves formed in lake,harsh winds started blowing the whole castle was shaking vigorously all students and professors came out of the castle, our quidditch training was also stopped in the middle, everyone came out leaving Tom,he was desperately searching for Priya , Finally Dumbledore bought him back forcibly. And something none of us expected. We saw the big squid coming out of the lake with Priya's corpse in one of his tentacles. And then it gently laid her on a rock . Suddenly the weather became quiet. Students was talking about what happened. I wasn't able to believe my eyes. The girl I just talked with in the morning was now lying lifeless in front of me , my knees gave up and I knelt down. All professor faces were darkened by the cloud of depression.
"ALL OF YOU SHUT UP", I heard Tom shouting while covering his ears aggressively. He carried her corpse in the bridal style and went near Dumbledore whose eyes were already watery and said,"Professor, why are you standing quietly we should take her to the inframry, look how cold her body has gotten,she will catch a cold.We should hurry she hates getting cold and then I also promised that we will go to the forest together to search for herbs, if she gets sick ,she won't be able to go she will be sad". This time Dumbledore wasn't able to control anymore tears ran down his cheeks,he broke down crying. Tom wasn't crying a bit, it was clear that he was still not able to take the blow of Priya's death after all in these years of his life she was someone who showed him this much love and adoration. While her body was being sent back to her home for funeral , I wasn't there I didn't wanted to give my best friend her last goodbye in tears and I cried myself to sleep that day and the following days.As I later heard that Tom didn't want to let anyone touch he kept screaming that she was still alive . But everyone knows one can never escape the killing curse if they have no protection shield. A powerful sleeping spell was cast on him and finally Priya was sent back home.So his unrequited love stayed a secret which he was never able to confess to heR."
"But she still wasn't able to get a proper funeral, everyone says that her body suddenly went missing",Rose said.
"It was missing at that time Rose", McGonagall rose up from her chair ,and saw the huge clock ticking almost to 10 o'clock"Children it's already time for your bed, quick go back to the dormitories"."But what happened to Priyadarshini?", Albus asks curiously. Scorpious said,"I also want to know". Unnoticed by the children Minerva , staring at a Glass jar full of grey sand, mumbled,"There are a sort of things in the world which are meant to be kept secret". Finally sending the children to their places, Minerva sat on the chair while taking the photo frame in her hand, caressing the image of the older boy,"Look what a baddie you and Priya are leaving me alone in this world", she said almost like a whisper before falling into the deep sleep of eternity.
Somewhere else
An anonymous girl"She is also coming to us Tom?"."Yes, everyone will come here one day like you and me" that girl started to giggle,"Now brother won't be alone anymore".
