《THE DARK ENIGMA • TOM RIDDLE》LXXV. The Graveyard
Advertisement
And with that, we were teleported to the graveyard, I stand up as I take out the diary, glancing over to see what stone we were infront of.
"I'll explain later but get your wands out." I demand as I glance at the two, they seem confused but nod, taking out their wands and gripping them in their hands.
I open the diary as Tom materialized infront of me, Harry staggers back as he goes to fire a spell but was stopped by me.
"Listen, I know it's confusing but just trust me and don't hurt him, he's on our side." I explain as Harry first his teeth but hesitantly nods.
Tom smirks in triumph as I hit him on the wrist.
"Where are we?" Cedric asks as I turn towards him.
"I've been here before..." Harry mutters as I nod.
"So... the cup was a portkey." Cedric says in astonishment as Harry and him walk over to it.
Harry walks towards a gravestone as he traces his hand along the name.
"Admiring my fathers gravestone?" Tom asks tauntingly as Harry glares at him.
A door suddenly creaks open as wormtail walks out, holding what seems to be an ugly as baby.
I grunt in pain as Tom turns towards me, muttering a spell as mine and Harry's head stop to hurt.
"Yikes, that's what future me has been reduced to?" Tom asks with a grimace as wormtail flinches, looking between the weird baby thing and Tom fearfully.
Wirmtail walks out hesitantly as Cedric points his wand at him.
"Who are you?!" Cedric demands as I glare at the rat like man.
"Kill the spare." The ugly baby thing demands as wormtail raises his wand.
"Avada kedavra!" Wormtail yells as I quickly push Cedric out of the way as the killing curse hits the grass behind me, grazing over my hair ever so slightly.
"Wormtail." Toms voice cuts through the air as wormtail pauses.
"M-my lord...?" Womrtail mutters, clearly confused and scared as the weird baby thing growls.
"Don't listen to my stupid horcrux! Capture the twins!" Voldemort demands as wormtail stands still, confused on what to do.
Tom uses this moment of hesitation as a chance as he mutters, "avada kedavra."
The killing curse fires at the weird baby thing as it gets knocked out of wormtails arms, lying lifelessly on the ground.

"M-my lord!!" Wormtail exclaims as he kneels next to the now-dead weird baby thing.
"Wormtail." Tom states as wormtail flinches, turning towards the boy.
"My lord..." wormtail mutters as Tom grins.
"Can we kill him yet or...?" I ask as wormtail flinches.
"Of course." Tom says as wormtail back away fearfully.
"You can do the honors!" I exclaim while looking up at Tom with stars in my eyes.
"Avada kedavra." Tom says with a grin as wormtails screams before his body flops lifelessly to the floor.
"Anyone going to explain who they were...?" Cedric asks as I turn towards him, I had forgotten he was here.
"Well... it's kind of a long story that I can explain later, but basically, that was Voldemort and his follower, also the person who betrayed my parents." I explain as Cedric stares at me in shock.
"So you-know-who was still alive... and you just killed him along with...?" Cedric pauses as he looks towards Tom who rolls his eyes.
"Tom, Tom riddle. Also know as lord Voldemort, you-know-who, he-who-must-not-be-named... how many names do I have now..?" Tom mutters as I grin at him.
"Well we have tommy, tommy-boy, voldiekins, voldy—" I get cut off as Tom puts his hand on my mouth as a red hue covers his cheeks.
"Shut up." He demands as i cackle at the boy who groans in annoyance.
"So you're..." Cedric trails off as Tom simply nods.
"Well, I guess I should start off with this, I'm.. sorry... for trying to kill you in your second year." Tom mutters as he grimaced when he says sorry as if it were a bad taste in his mouth.
"It's.. alright?" Harry replies in confusion as I grin, grabbing both their hands and pulling them together.
"See! Look at you two getting along!" I coo as the two males groan in annoyance.
Cedric snickers as I grin at the boy who grins back, equally as amused.
"Now.. what are we going to do?" I ask as Tom pauses in thought before rolling up his sleeve and putting his wand on his blank skin.
I look at him in confusion as he turns towards me, "it summons the death eaters."
I nod in understanding as Cedric walks over to the three of us.

Suddenly a skull forms in the clouds as at first three balls of smoke emerge and another three follow shortly after.
I glance at the first three as they land on the ground next to eachother, wearing skull masks, two of which seem to have a black snake imprint on them.
Long blonde hair flows out from behind two of the peoples hoods as only one as has black bangs sweeping over the mask.
The third person doesn't have any visible hair other than a couple strands of curly brown hair and a long-ish grey beard.
The other three people didn't have anything notable about them.
"My lord." A feminine voice mutters as all six people bow down.
"Rise." Tom demands as all six people rise.
I glance over their faces as I recognize igor karkaroff and Lucius malfoy.
"Hm, Lucius... figures." I mutter with a grin as he glances at me with a scowl.
"My lord, what are these brats—" Lucius doesn't get to finish his sentence as Tom fires a spell right next to him, making him pause in fear.
I laugh at the man as he cowers in fears, a small grin forms on the females face but quickly is covered by a look of indifference.
"Don't you dare call them that, Lucius." Tom demands with a sneer at the man.
"O-of course my lord... I apologize." Lucius mutters as tom scoffs.
"Please forgive my husbands ignorance my lord, but if I may ask, what are these children doing here?" The female asks with a bow towards tom as he glances at me, I nod as he sighs.
"It's alright, narcissa. Long story, I'll explain to my inner circle once we can gather all of them." He explains with a dismissive wave of his hand as the female, narcissa, nods.
"I suppose you deserve to know atleast their names for the time being, y/n, introductions." Tom says as he turns towards me, I nod with a grin.
"Well, I'm y/n! This is my brother, Harry! And our friend who, unfortunately, got roped into this, Cedric!" I introduce as I wrap my arms around the two males necks.
"Narcissa malfoy, pleasure to meet friends of the dark lord." Narcissa kindly greets us with a smile as I smile back at the woman.
The other death eaters don't bother to introduce themselves as I roll my eyes before walking back next to Tom.
"Dismissed." Is all Tom says before all six death eaters leave again.
"Well, we better get going, don't want to raise suspicions on what really happens." I say as Tom nods, disappearing back into the diary.
"Hm..." I mutter as I think of a cover story for what happened.
"Traumatized hero's?" I ask as Harry nods before we turn towards Cedric.
"Sorry about this." I state as I raise my wand and point it at Cedric.
"Stupefy." I mutter as the crimson red spell hits Cedric and he's falls back, unconscious.
Me and Harry then get the cup and grab it as we transport back to hogwarts.
The crowd cheers as Harry and I let fake tears cloud our vision.
Certain people in the crowd pause, noticing something is wrong.
"He's back!" Harry cries as everyone stops. "Voldemort's back!!"
Cedric's father then runs towards us, falling to the ground as he see's Cedric.
"I had pushed him away from the killing curse that was going to kill him, he's alive... just unconscious." I explain as the older man lets out a breath of relief.
Soon after, moody drags Harry and I out of there and back to his office.
———
"What happened?" Moody asks as I rub the forced tears out of my eyes.
"Voldemorts dead." I answer as Harry pauses, glancing at the two of us confused.
I caught his confused look as I clarify, "he's not actually moody. He's also aware of the diary."
Harry pauses as he nods slowly, still confused. Harry's confusion is then lifted as the poly juice potion wears off.
"You..." Harry mutters with a glare at the man. Barty simply rolls his eyes as he transfigures his clothes back into the ones he normally wears.
"So you did it? The dark lord is dead?" He asks as I nod with a grin
"Yep!! Tom also summoned the malfoys and some other other death eaters there! Narcissa is really nice!" I explain as I sit on the empty desk, Harry sighs as he stands next to me.
"Proud of you, kid." Barty says as he ruffles my hair.

8 105The Spider's Lair (Vomit Draft)
A group calling themselves ‘The Starlight Spear’ ventures into a dungeon known as ‘The Spider’s Lair’ in the hopes to recover the treasure it possesses. Along with their newest member Morana, what could possibly go wrong? This 'Novella' -ha Novel* will follow the stories of a few main characters centering around a coherent plot. Theo Wood is an elf who joins a new criminal guild in the city of Leeside known as the 'Webbed Children', Sabrina Black is a young orphan girl developing strange new abilities, and Saurus, a Lord Commander put in charge for the recapture of Wetbrook--a town consumed by giant spiders! There will also be some interludes surrounding supporting characters. I'm using Royal Road to publish my first drafts, like throwing paint 'or shit' at a canvas to see what sticks. The writing quality will be the main focus in draft two (You've been warned), and I'm using the first draft mainly as a loose outline for the plot. I will also try and 'show, not tell' in draft two. This is my first attempt at a novel! Any help or advice is much appreciated! If you want to support me! Please follow, rate and comment, as this really helps me understand what to focus on in draft two. Thank you.

Maribelle will seek to topple the heavens and obtain omnipotence, an ambition that begins with her wishing for the freedom of the banished god she calls her friend.
