Tom Riddle

[justaballoffluff]

It wasn’t exactly a short walk from the Library to Tari’s favorite spot in the castle. It was a small room, tucked away in a forgotten corner that she had quickly made her own. Books, notebooks, quills, inkwells, parchment and various other things littered the area. However, she ignored all that in favor of the pile of blankets and pillows she’d made into the semblance of a nest.

Settling down, she put the book into her lap again reached for a quill and inkwell. We’re alone now, and I’m sure nobody will find us. Even if they do, I’ve put an enchantment so I’ll know.

Once the book was out down a blinding light ended up coming from the book for a few moments --- the words were all he actually needed in the long run. It wouldn’t be too hard for him to actually say anything.... let alone get the point across once she was there, but he would enjoy actually talking to someone for once.

It was then Tom appeared leaning against a chair with a dark chuckle, “So, you’re Tari...”

Revan peered down at the book, a frown on her face. I do not like this in the least, nor do I trust how. However, she felt curiosity settle into her chest. I will allow you to show me what you will. As for getting you out…we shall see.

[iminabook-blog]

‘ I don’t expect you to, Revan. After-all, I think the only one’s who trust me are either dead or in a cell.’ the words faded after a few moments, he needed more time to get her inside the book so to speak, but he knew that he couldn’t do much once she was inside either --- talking in person was all he needed at any rate.

A moment or two passed as a bright blinding light came from the book before what Revan would see would simply be a man standing there with his arms across his chest. Oddly enough, he looked out of time, and out of place for the most part, “You’re going to get me out, Revan.” He stated calmly, “All I simply need is one person to die for that to happen.”

[masteroflightanddark-archive]

NOT A THREAT. Ha, try that line on someone else, Dark Lord, for I will not be so easily lulled into compliance. As for making you suffer…you would not be the first to fall by my hand.

[iminabook-blog]

‘ I doubt it. I have survived and you should have handed over the book to them to bring me back, but... I am willing to over look it.’ the ink then faded on the page as there was nothing for a few moments before ink appeared on the page, ‘Can I show you something? I mean you no harm.... nor do I mean Tari harm. Just get me out of this book.’

[masteroflightanddark-archive]

Hmm…I believe he was a Death Eater, fresh out of Azkaban. How that occurred I am not sure. However…if she ever manages to get you out and you turn against her or hurt her in any way I will make you suffer.

[iminabook-blog]

‘ Make me suffer? That is quite amusing, but I will tell you my name, and I can assure you that I am not a threat.’ His words then faded as soon after a name formed on the parchment, ‘ I am Tom Riddle.’

[masteroflightanddark-archive]

She gave a harsh laugh before responding, I am not surprised you have heard of me—–I am quite…famous, or infamous as the case may be. You however…as I said, I cannot tell who you are, but I will find out. Though…there is someone who has been trying to get your book…

[iminabook-blog]

‘I bet there are many people who want it. However, I can be got out of this book, but it does come with a price.’ the words then faded for a few moments, ‘Tari said she would get me out and I am expecting she will come through for me.’

[justaballoffluff]

A frown then tugged at the corners of her mouth at his reply. “I—-I don’t quite understand—-who are you and why would someone try to do something to me just for knowing you?”

Even as she asked her question, however, she was standing, wrapping herself once more in her cloak and, tucking the still-open book where it couldn’t be seen, set off walking.

[iminabook-blog]

‘You will know why soon enough.’ he managed to put on the pages as she moved to tuck the book in her cloak. In truth, he didn’t really know how to explain who he was, but he had an idea that it wouldn’t be easy.... no matter what he could put forth on pages. However, showing was another idea fully as that would be much easier.

Revan peered at the book for only a few moments before she gave a growl picked it up, flipping to a random page and scrawling, I am Revan, the Shadow Witch. I cannot tell exactly who you are but I am sure I will find out soon enough.

[iminabook-blog]

So, this was the Witch he had managed to hear about --- that was interesting to say the least as he let the ink fade into the pages. He wasn’t about to give an answer back to her right away, but he thought that it would be amusing to say the very least. 

‘The Shadow Witch, I remember hearing about you once, but who do you think I am?’

[justaballoffluff]

“It’s not the Forbidden books, but we are in the one of the more remote areas. I like coming here to read and just…be by myself. But…I know of another place we can go if it’s not safe enough.” Tari replied.

[iminabook-blog]

‘ another place’ there was a pause as the words faded into the parchment for several moments, ‘be sure it’s safe.... I would hate for anything to happen to you, Tari. Especially if someone finds out just who I am.’

[justaballoffluff]

The name tugged at her mind and a frown formed before she pushed away the feeling. She’d ask Maz about it later, for now she focused on the book in her lap, questioning softly, “This part of the library isn’t isolated enough?” she paused before adding, “Mine is Tari Novhret.”

[iminabook-blog]

‘Tari’ the letters faded and then after a time they reappeared again, ‘I am not sure. We are we?’

It was a simple question, but mostly Tom didn’t know where he was... let alone what year it was as well.

[justaballoffluff]

Tari watched the words appear across the page, her eyes trailing along them as one hand lifted to gently brush across the black ink that had seemingly arisen out of the pages. “I…I am not sure how to do that. But…I will find a way.” she paused a moment before adding, “And you don’t need to do whatever I say when you get out. I’d just like some answers, is all.”

[iminabook-blog]

‘I can give you answers. However, I simply need someone to get me out.’ the words then faded for several moments before they appeared again, ‘I can show you something. You just need to be alone.’ 

‘My name is Tom Riddle.’

[justaballoffluff]

When the words appeared on the page, she blinked, picking up the book again and began to examine it carefully. A slight frown tugged at the corners of her mouth as she asked, “I…don’t quite understand. Are you a spirit or—-are you something else?” There were more questions that were pushing into her mind, but for now she managed to keep it down to that and one more: “How’d you end up in this book?”

[iminabook-blog]

Another string of words were written on the page ‘ I cannot tell you, but I can show you. I just need you to do something for me.... let me out of here.’

In reality, he doubted that she even would, but to answer all her questions? He needed to be let out of the book, and that required a lot. However, he was willing to at least try in the long run.

‘can you do that? Let me out and I will do whatever you say.’

[justaballoffluff]

Tari had been wandering the library. Maz claimed to know what every one was and it’s location, which…honestly didn’t surprise her in the least. She had asked if there was a book with a particular spell. It was far from a standard one that they taught in school, and could on some grounds be considered illegal.

Having finally located it, she had just settled down to read when…

A book, bound in black, fell directly into her lap. She blinked, head tilting in curiosity as she reached to pick it up. Flipping through it, she found it was oddly empty. Not knowing what else to do, she simply placed it in her lap and reached for the book she had come for the library for.

[iminabook-blog]

A first, nothing had happened when the book was flipped through, but a few moments passed as words appeared on the page, ‘Don’t close me’ it said on the pages as if it was trying to at least get something across to the other --- it had been so long since he had spoken with someone.

Not even that, but someone had actually opened him up, and that actually would have caused a grin to form on his face as more words appeared on the pages, ‘I simply want out of this book’.

It was quite odd for the most part to be stuck in a book; he didn’t mind it, the day’s passed by with little to no feeling, and one moment lead to the next. Timeless was the better fact of the matter, but he still didn’t know how to get out of this situation as he hoped that the book would at least get into someone’s possession, right?

It had to be better than sitting locked away on a shelf all day and then all he would have to do was take someone’s life force. Once that was done, he could be free again, and that was exactly as he wanted.However, as fortune would have it the book found itself being dropped right into Tari’s lap.

How interesting.
