Prologue

The Riddle Manor. The Riddle manor wasn't as large as the blonde family approaching the door, but it was beautiful. Cadence Bordeaux fell in love with the home before taking residence in the manor. The outside of the quarters was decorated with a gray brick type objects. The shudders for the windows were a deep red color and the roof was pitch black. It had a small stone wall surrounding the area with tall, skinny lights to guide you from the street. There were huge, decorative trees that gave the appearance of it being homely. Inside, it is a two story plus a basement. The house had something called a two car garage (which was never used) and above the garage was a guest suite. There were four bedrooms, one for the owners and one for a child. Four bathrooms, a living room, dining room, kitchen, family room, sun room which led to the basement, and a downstairs study. Each room was beyond spacious and tastefully decorated. Ms. Bordeaux was able to design each of the rooms except for the basement. The basement was his, Tom Riddle- Voldemort. It was dark and dank, a fireplace was the main way light was able to be in the room.

The Malfoys entered the house and took their jackets off, handing them to three house elves. Death Eaters roamed the lower area, many greeted the family.

"Oh my, Draco certainly has grown since the last time we've seen him." One of the Death Eaters said.

Narcissa Malfoy tightened her hold on the three month old child. Lucius Malfoy merely looked at the man, his mouth tightened into a sneer and smirk. He tilted his head acknowledging the mans remark. The husband and wife glanced at each other and proceeded into the 'family room'. They were both dressed in colors of the house, at a school called Hogwarts, Slytherin. Lucius wore his black outfits well, his long blond hair pulled back with a black ribbon. He walked with his snake cane in his right hand. Narcissa had on a long emerald green dress with black trims. Her beautiful blond hair was pulled up into a tight bun. Their son Draco was dressed in a black footie, wrapped in an emerald green blanket with silver trims. He had been cooing and looking up at his mother with curious yet loving, silver eyes. He was her joy. The child made Narcissa the happiest. Looking down at him the horrible thought and realization that her son would grow up and be like his father, a sad smile was what the child received.

"It's a girl!"

A yell came from upstairs. Everyone was hesitant to cheer at first, the Dark Lord wanted a boy. Narcissa looked down at her son with a joyful smile. The deal will go through. The deal was if Cadence were to have a girl, her daughter and Draco Malfoy were to wed, even if they hated each other. Narcissa looked at her husband, he had been talking with a fellow Death Eater, their eyes locked and she saw him smirk at her. To him that meant power. He could care less about the actual girl. At that moment, Narcissa realized how much she hated her husband. She looked at her son in Bellatrix Lestrange's arms. She hoped her son's future marriage would not turn out like her and his fathers. The Dark Lord was creeping down the stairs at this point, his brows furrowed. He was thinking. Everyone who stood or sat quickly bowed as he entered the room. His glaring red eyes looked up at his followers. He spotted the young Malfoy in his aunts arms.

"Bring him to me."

He commanded. Bellatrix had a smile on her face, she knew that she would be linked even more to her Lord now that his daughter had been born. The Dark Lord looked down at the young child he was now sleeping.

"On this day, I am announcing that Draco Malfoy, the son of Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy, will wed Leah Faith Riddle, the daughter of," a small malice filled smile crept upon his snake-like face, "Myself, Lord Voldemort and Cadence Bordeaux."

Cheers filled the room, some happy and some disappointed. Some families who had recently had children, the Crabs and Gobles and Sabin's, had hoped a marriage would have been arranged with their sons. "Come." He said to the Malfoys. Narcissa took her child from her sister and followed her husband and Voldemort. They were nearing the room in which Cadence and Leah were in. Thoughts crept into Narcissi's mind, What if she has the face of her father? Narcissa grew nervous.

Cadence was sitting up with a mother's smile on her face. She looked up at all four of them. She held her daughter in his arms. The child wasn't crying but reaching with her small arms towards her mother. She was cooing.

"Congratulations, Cadence." Mr. Malfoy said with his calm voice.

He glanced down at the girl and thought the same thing he did when he saw his son, All babies are ugly when they are first born... Narcissa traded babies, she now held her future daughter-in-law and Cadence held her future son-in-law. Narcissa was calmed when she saw that Leah didn't have her father's face. The child's eyes were not blue, like her mothers, but the color of Tom's, emerald green. The child yawned then smiled at Narcissa.

"She's beautiful..." She said softly.

Narcissa had a hard heart after being with her husband for so long, but the child that was resting in her arms melted some of the ice. Voldemort stood in silence, watching Cadence as well as Narcissa.

Voldemort had no emotion towards his flesh and blood. He had his instinct of protection towards the mother and his daughter but that was it. He felt Tom deep inside of his mind. They are both so beautiful, Voldemort. Hold your child. He could hear him say. Tom was evil but there was always a soft spot for the Ravenclaw beauty, Cadence Bordeaux. Her smart remarks towards him whenever Tom ever tried to insult her at school made him inwardly smile. Cadence craved power but was smart beyond belief. He was surprised she wasn't in Slytherin. In classes, he always would look at her. She was beautiful. She had blood red hair, nothing like the Weasley's of their children's time. At times, her hair looked ruby red. She had blue eyes, a small nose and wonderfully sculpted cheekbones. She was always so thin and short in stature. She had olive colored skin from always being out in the French sun as a child. Tom fell in love with her and she eventually fell for Tom. She helped him in the early days with his need for power, his beginning days to become Lord Voldemort. She was evil, just not as advanced as Tom. She always created poisons and killed those who annoyed her. She was on her way to be an Auror before she fell for Tom...
