round August 1943, Riddle went to Little Hangleton to learn about
his mother’s family. While at the Gaunt Shack, he met his uncle Morfin Gaunt, with whom he was far from impressed. Morfin mentioned offhandedly at one point during this meeting that he thought that Tom looked “mighty like that Muggle”, Merope’s husband, Tom Riddle Snr. Riddle immediately demanded the identity of the Muggle in question, and Morfin told Riddle the story of his Muggle father, which infuriated Tom to the point of seeking revenge. Riddle stunned Morfin and took his wand, went over to the Riddle House and, using his uncle’s wand, murdered his father, grandfa-
ther, and grandmother with the Killing Curse. Riddle covered up his crimes by altering Morfin’s memory,
causing him to believe that he was the killer.When the
Ministry of Magic investigated the crime, Morfin, who had previously served three years in Azkaban for using
magic in front of and against Muggles, freely admitted to the deed and was sentenced to life imprisonment in Azka-
ban. Tom took the Gaunt family’s signet ring from Morfin
and later on would preserve another part of his soul within it
to make his second Horcrux, wearing it like a trophy at Hogwarts.
After graduating, Riddle immediately approached Dippet and asked
him for a chance to teach Defence Against the Dark Arts, and to remain 8
at Hogwarts. Dippet rejected this offer, deeming the boy too
young, but invited Riddle to reapply in a few years, if he was still
interested in the post, something that Dumbledore heavily advised
against. Shortly before leaving Hogwarts, however, Riddle charmed Helena Ravenclaw, the daughter of Rowena Ravenclaw, into telling him the loca-
tion of her mother’s diadem. He murdered the family and took the diadem.
U
pon his return to Britain, Riddle ended up working at Borgin and
Burkes, to the disappointment and surprise of many. While working there, Riddle befriended Hepzibah Smith, a wealthy but elderly descendant of
Helga Hufflepuff. Between 1955 and 1961, Hepzibah showed Riddle her two
most valuable treasures: his ancestor’s locket and her ancestor’s cup. Tom saw the locket to be rightfully his as Slytherin’s heir and the cup as a reminder of Hogwarts, as well as a
priceless artefact. Riddle murdered Hepzibah, to
steal these coveted objects and vanished without a trace. He again covered his tracks well
by implanting another false memory into an innocent bystander — Hokey, Hepzibah’s house-elf. Hokey admitted the
murder. Meanwhile, Riddle immedi-
ately resigned his post at Borgin and Burkes and fled with the cup and
locket. Ten years after Hepzi-
bah Smith’s murder, Riddle ap-
pealed once more to the Head-
master of Hogwarts, now Albus
Dumbledore. After a short, super-
ficially amiable chat, Dumbledore
directly confronted Riddle regarding
why he had requested the position, as
he knew full well that Riddle had no desire
whatsoever to teach. Riddle, unable to make
an open request of Dumbledore due to the mali-
cious nature of his true intentions, simply left after
a final, gentle rebuke from his former teacher. 9

H
ebridean Black was a dragon species native to the Hebrides
islands of Scotland. It had brilliant purple coloured eyes. It had dark rough scales, ridges along its back, and a tail tipped with an ar-
row-shaped spike. The Hebridean Black had brilliant purple eyes, bat-like wings and could grow to be up to thirty feet long. Its
favourite food was deer, although it had been known to carry off cattle. The Hebridean Black was more aggressive than the other
dragon native to the British Isles, the Common Welsh Green, and thus required a territory of as much as one hundred square miles
each. The MacFusty clan took responsibility for the dragons, and
had so done for centuries. They were also the team mascot for the Banchory Bangers Quidditch team from Scotland.
C
ommon Welsh Green, or just Welsh Green,
was a dragon native to Wales. It nested in the higher mountain regions, where a reservation had been set up for it. It was a
green dragon with a distinctive, musical roar. This dragon
was a relatively subdued breed. It preferred to prey mainly
on sheep and other small mammals and to avoid human contact altogether. The Welsh Green’s roar was rather
distinctive and somewhat melodious, and it issued its fire in narrow jets. 12

A
ntipodean Opaleye was a breed of dragon native
to New Zealand. It was known to migrate to Australia in
search of territory. It resided in valleys, which was unusual as
dragons typically resided on mountains. It was generally con-
sidered one of the most beautiful dragons, with pearly scales that lined its body, and glittering multi-coloured eyes that had no pu-
pils. The Opaleye’s eggs were pale grey and had been known to be mis-
taken by Muggles for fossils, and its flame was vivid red. The Opaleye was
not particularly aggressive, rarely killing unless it was hungry. Its prey of choice was sheep, but it had been known to attack larger animals.
S
wedish Short-Snout was a species of dragon native to the un-
inhabited mountains of Sweden. It was a silvery blue dragon that
breathed a brilliant blue flame. The scales of the Swedish Short-
Snout were silvery blue, and its powerful flame was also a brilliant blue colour, hot enough to reduce timber and bone to ashes in
seconds. Its attractive skin was much sought after for the mak-
ing of gloves and shields. It preferred to live in wild, uninhabited
areas. Since it rarely came into contact with humans, the Short-
Snout has less deaths to its name than most dragons. However,
the Short-Snout was a dangerous species due to its agile flying and
extremely hot fire. A trophy awarded to the winner of the annual
broom race between Kopparberg and Arjeplog is modelled after the
Swedish Short-Snout.
H
ungarian Horntail was a species of dragon na-
tive to Hungary, which was considered to be one of the most dangerous dragon breeds, if not the most dangerous. It possessed black scales, a spiked tail, and was lizard-like in appearance. It had black scales, and was lizard-like in appearance. It also had yellow eyes, with
vertical pupils like a cat’s, bronze horns and similarly coloured spikes that protruded from its long tail which it would gladly deploy in combat. The dragon’s roar was a yowling, screeching scream, and its flame could reach to about fifty feet. 13 13

F
enrir Greyback (fl. 1945–1998) was a werewolf bounty
hunter infamous for his general savagery and preference for attacking children. He was a leader in his community and
strived to infect as many people as possible with lycanthropy, hoping to build an army strong enough to eventually take
over the wizarding community. It was he who infected Remus Lupin with lycanthropy when Remus’s father (Lyall Lupin)
insulted werewolves and said “they deserve nothing less than death”.

Bellatrix “Bella” Lestrange (née Black) (1951 – 2
May, 1998) was a British witch, the eldest daughter of
Cygnus and Druella Black, cousin of Regulus and Sirius
Black, and the elder sister of Andromeda Tonks and Narcissa Malfoy. She was a member of the House of Black, an
old wizarding family and one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight. Bellatrix started her education at Hogwarts School of
Witchcraft and Wizardry in the early sixties (either 1962 or 1963), and was Sorted into Slytherin House.
A
Professor Amycus Carrow was a Dark Wizard, broth-
er of Alecto Carrow and a Death Eater. Amycus fought in
the First Wizarding War along with his sister. They did not search for Lord Voldemort after his first downfall but were forgiven after Voldemort’s return in 1995. Amycus and his
sister were, most likely, among the Death Eaters that were
summoned by Lord Voldemort to the churchyard at Little
Hangleton on 24 June 1995, as their absence wasn’t noted by Voldemort himself.
