Time Switch (Tom Riddle)

The Letter

Where did he go? Why did he go? All these questions spinning in my head with no answers. Yes, I liked- no loved the kiss- but something didn't feel right about it. With no memory of this life I guess I'll never no why. I think it's time to start taking things into my own hands and not just waiting for everyone to tell me what I should do. Now I'm alone I can finally open that letter. Now where did I drop it...

I looked around the corridor and after a few minutes of anxious searching I found it strewn underneath a window where me and Tom were earlier. There was a red seal on it with the letter H which I think stood for... Hogworths? I think that is name of the school... I eagerly ripped it open and as well as a letter was an odd looking vile with smoky grey stuff floating inside of it. I ignored that for now and read the contents of the letter.

(Burn letter once read)

Dear Katharine Lily Potter (Otherwise nicknamed Karen),

I have written this letter to inform you again of your mission and what you have missed out on due to memory loss. Let's start with you as I know you are most likely dying of the millions of questions that are unanswered though I am afraid some you must work out for yourself. You are in fact in a fifteen years old now so that's five years of your life gone as I suppose you only remember before you turned ten and I can only hope you were a very mature ten year old (which knowing you defiantly not) or still act like you're fifteen.

I stopped reading for a moment and made a face at the letter. I do feel like I'm older than ten. Fifteen? Yes... I do kinda feel like fifteen- or as close as I'm going to get. I peered back at the letter to read on.

Your brother, Harry, is fine and is also fifteen of course as he is your twin. You both reached second to last year of school because at Hogwarts wizards and witches finish their education at seventeen. I will not go about this blank space in your memory as you have others in your current time who will be able to tell you those things so now I will explain to you your mission but not in the way you'd expect. I want you to now to go to the headmaster's office which this patronus will guide you to.

I felt a breeze of wind blow onto my face and looked up from the letter to see a something that appeared to be a bird though it seemed more like a glowing shadow. I think it was patronus the letter was talking about. A phoenix patronus... Whatever that was...

I followed it up various staircases which were moving! There is just something wrong with that image. Staircases should stay where they are not move but then again everything was very quire at the moment. When we were quite high up the patronus thing evaporated into nothingness outside a door. Where did it go? I presumed I was meant to go in.

I opened the door just a crack and peeped inside. No one was there. I strolled in. It looked like it could be the headmaster's office...

I looked back at the letter to see what I was to do next

As soon as you reached the office the patronus will disappear. You are to go inside and do you see that octagon shaped object to the side with a dish in filled with liquid? That is a Pensieve. It also has numerous mirrors surrounding it if you're still having trouble finding it. I want you to take out the vile out of the envelope and pour it in.

I took out the vile and poured the misty stuff inside it into the Pensieve. It swirled round and round and became an inky black which sunk low into the Pensieve. Great, now what am I meant to do? What I read next made my heart skip a beat.

Put your head into the Pensieve.

Okay. Wait... WHAT?! Was this some kind of attempt to get me to commit suicide? If so no way was I going anywhere near that thing!

I began to back away but then something grabbed my hair and shoved my head all the way into the Pensieve. I struggled but then became dizzy and sunk down and down with the liquid circling the Pensieve.
