Voldemort: Origins of the Heir Page #2

---

The fourth heir.

The heir...

of Slytherin.

So

he was a friend of yours too?

Yes,

but Tom,

was different.

He has always been.

That day...

something broke.

And remember,

we took an oath.

We, the heirs,

will fight so that evil...

will be eradicated.

We will bring peace and justice.

We will make the world...

a better place!

Such a nice speech, Captain.

Dont worry Mr. Riddle.

We are honored.

We are nothing...

but low rank wizards, right?

How could we expect...

a noble Slytherin like you...

to lower himself...

to the vile rule of punctuality?

Youre right,

Captain.

You may be the only wizards,

expect from Slytherins,

I even dare talk to.

Not like theyre worthy, mind you.

Grisha!

he dematerialized!

Were in the Room

of Requirement, idiot.

We were talking

about the sacred heirlooms...

of the houses,

perhaps you care.

Oh! Big news.

Actually, Grisha and I were discussing

about who is the best wizard...

between you and Wiglaf.

- Well, I was just...

- Stop this!

Whats wrong?

Afraid to lose your spot, Cap?

Theres never been any Cap.

Come on Wiglaf,

it looks like youre afraid of Tom!

You could beat him

in a heartbeat if only you wanted to.

Youll see, Grisha.

Well, this is new.

Is that so, Cap?

Guys, stop it.

I wont fight you, Riddle.

But I think you want to.

This is the last time...

we'll actually all meet, yes?

Now or never.

Right, right!

Theres no reason for us to fight.

You are not my enemy.

For now.

Were not talking about a deadly duel,

Just an amateur fight.

Tom, maybe...

We all know how much...

you care to prove the Raven

is superior to the Snake.

Enough!

Relax, Captain.

It was just a joke.

Come on Captain,

where is your sense of humor?

Well, you actually

never had a sense of humor.

Alright, Grisha!

Wiglaf doesnt

want to fight Tom? Ill try myself

and then you will have to marry me!

What?

You dont want to, Lazarus.

You know well

that you are not ready for this duel.

Yeah?

Well see!

Lazarus!

Lazarus, stop!

You heard Tom!

Listen to the elders once and for all!

Of course!

Tom, Tom,

Tom,

Tom!

Youd like everyone

to always listen to Tom!

Lazarus!

Stop this!

You don't have

any other ace in the hole, Laz.

Bye bye, Grisha.

Lazarus...

just wanted to get my attention...

but Tom...

Something took over him...

Like a shadow...

hungry for power...

You broke his arm!

Willing to do anything...

to punish the weaker...

and claim its own...

unquestioned...

superiority.

That...

was the end of everything...

more or less.

What happened then?

A few days later...

the schoolyear ended,

and that meant...

the end of Hogwarts

for Wiglaf and Tom.

And yet...

I still dont understand

how all of this can be linked...

with the death of Hepzibah Smith.

After his schoolyears,

Tom asked Master Dippet...

to be able to stay on as a teacher,

of Defense against the dark arts,

but Dippet declined,

and recommended

he wait a few years more.

So Tom, model student,

and seen by many as the new

promise of the wizarding world,

disappointed everyone

by taking a job at Borgin and Burkes,

a dealer of dark artifacts

and memorabilia...

in the slums of Knockturn Alley.

Yeah...

He works there for...

a few years,

then he mysteriously disappears.

Just a few days

before the discovering

of old Smiths body.

1955:

the year of the scandal.

House-elf murders her mistress,

death by poison,

cold case.

The house-elf confessed.

So, miss McLaggen,

I ask you one more time.

What does Tom Riddle have

to do with Hepzibah Smith?

Hepzibah Smith,

descendant of the Hufflepuff family...

aunt of Lazarus Smith,

the one true Heir of Helga.

Interesting.

What did Lazarus do after school?

Lazarus

was the only one among us Heirs...

to find his ancestors heirloom...

the Hufflepuff cup.

But...

someone was chasing him:

a powerful,

dark wizard...

determined to seize the cup.

In his message to us,

he wrote he would hide

the cup at his aunt Hepzibahs,

an old, fanatic crone,

so that it would be safe...

But...

When the owl...

delivered the letter to us,

it was too late...

Lazarus smith died...

just a few days

before his aunt Hepzibah.

And this dark wizard

would allegedly be Riddle?

If you think Riddle is involved...

what proofs do you have?

How can you be sure?

Because I saw it.

There are wizards...

capable of showing things

that go beyond space and time,

Mister Makarov.

Albus Dumbledore.

He had always

had a great respect for Tom,

nonetheless,

he may be the only one...

that always knew

how dangerous he could be.

Miss McLaggen?

Just a few days

after her mistresss death,

Hokey, the house-elf, died,

probably shocked in discovering

she was the murderer...

of Miss Hepzibah.

But, once more,

fate was on professor Dumbledors side.

He managed to access

the elfs subconscious,

drawing out her most hidden memories.

Which memories?

What have you seen?

They overwork you at that shop,

I have said it a hundred times.

Well,

what is your excuse for visiting

this old, boring lady this time?

Mr. Burke would like

to make an improved offer...

for the goblinmade armor.

Five hundred Galleons.

He feels it is a more than fair.

Now, now, not so fast,

or I will think youre only

here for my trinkets!

I am ordered here

because of them, Madam.

I am only a poor assistant,

who must do as he is told.

Mr. Burke wishes me to inquire...

Oh, Mr. Burke!

Ive something to show you

that Ive never shown Mr. Burke!

Can you keep a secret, Tom?

Will you promise

you wont tell Mr. Burke Ive got it?

But you, Tom,

youll appreciate it for its history,

not how many Galleons

you can get for it.

I would be more than glad

to see anything Miss Hepzibah shows me.

So, wait for me here!

Wait a minute.

What I still have to figure out is...

How did Tom Riddle know

that Ms. Smith had the cup,

if she had only received it

from Lazarus days before?

His employment at Borgin and Burkes.

was clearly part of a plan.

What better way to find out...

about illegal traffic of heirlooms,

and magic artifacts?

Ms. Smith,

was a regular costumer.

Tom knew she was an Hufflepuff...

and he knew...

her affection might prove useful.

And it did.

He figured Lazarus

would give her the cup...

and he seized the opportunity.

Im sure youll like this, Tom...

If my family knew I was showing you!

They cant wait

to get their hands on this!

I wonder whether

you know what it is, Dear?

Pick it up,

have a good look!

So?

A badger...

So... this was...?

Helga Hufflepuffs cup,

as you very well know, you clever one!

Didnt I tell you

I was distantly descended?

This...

has been handed down

in the family for years and years.

Lovely, isnt it?

And all sorts of powers

its supposed to possess too,

but I havent tested them thoroughly,

I just keep it nice and safe in here.

I think youll like this

even more, lean in a little.

Mr. Burk sold it to me, years ago.

And I dare say hed love

to get it back when Im gone.
