~~~-Author's note: I have yet to find many fics about 'what if Voldemort had a kid', and out of a random spur of inspiration I started writing TheAlabasterGryphon. If you write a review I will love you forever, but please give some constructive criticism. Hope you enjoy it, and if you don't, just press the shiny little back button. :P Her name is pronounced "Dee-uh-dray" Btw, Diedre is about the same age as Teddy Lupin -~~

The Alabaster Gryphon

Written by: Totalfknnoob

Prologue and backstory

My name, is Diedre Riddle. My mother was Rowena Coltsby, and she just happened to have feelings for the wrong guy... and no, you didn't hear wrong. My last name is Riddle. My father was Tom Marvolo Riddle. The Betrayer. He who must not be named. Voldemort. I was his shame, and his secret. My mother was a pureblood witch, and during his rise to power, he sired me. He then, left her flat, he never cared… that bastard didn't even want a kid; I was a one night stand, to celebrate my father's victory, which, incidentally never came. My mother knew Voldmort didn't love her anymore, so when I was born She named me Diedre, meaning Broken Hearted, because she was without her lover, and I, without a true father. She sent me away and apparently, Voldemort was pretty pissed he had sired a kid, and that she had given birth to it, because he Avada Kedavra'ed her, and just like that she was gone.

At the time this was happening, I was still a little kid, over at a trip at grandma's. Completely unaware that my father was the most evil wizard of all time, and that my mother never got over him. Unaware that I would end up raising myself. Unaware of the legacy that precedes me. Had I been able to grasp it, I probably would've been crushed, then and there. I was four then.

My grandmother helped me grow up, because she pitied me. After waiting out the war in a home where I was generally unloved, I got my Hogwarts acceptance letter.
