Summary: Will Voldemort's daughter's first assignment also be her last?
---
My name is Alyona Riddle and I am Lord Voldemort's Daughter. Apparently I look just like Him...er that is before the I-am-Voldemort-here-me-roar thing. Not that I would know as he's apparently looked like that for years. I have thick brown hair and blue eyes...
...and I've just been given my first assignment. I'm to go to Hogwarts and get close to their DADA teacher Remus Lupin. How? I have no idea apparently I will appeal to his 'Dark' side. All I can say is wish me luck....
I'm going to need it.

Alyona looked up as the carriage pulled up in front of Hogwarts front doors. The door was opened by a tall black haired man,
"My Lady." He greeted her bowing.
"You know I don't like the formality and my father isn't here, Snape."
"True, Alyona." He said and looked at her seriously. "Dumbledore will be watching you. You need to be discreet."
"I know. I wasn't going to go up to Lupin and say 'Do you want to shag?'"
"Dumbledore knows almost everything that goes on in this castle and you know he has a spy among the inner circle he will know why you are here." He warned her.
"I know that."
"Why did you agree?" He asked confused.
"I needed a change of scenery." If you had been privy to Snape's mind as Dumbledore was at that particular moment you would of heard a comment about the spoiled brats of insane would-be world dominators.
"I shall take you strait to Dumbledore." He said getting to the point. Needless to say that she was put into Slytherin and was received there with much bowing and 'My Lady's that they didn't stop until she threatened to use an Unforgivable.

Luckily- Or unluckily as the case may be- Defence Against the Dark Arts was Alyona's first subject the next morning. After skipping breakfast for some personal grooming -Step one in stealing an order member straight from under Dumbledore's nose is to make yourself look as innocent as possible, which meant uniform perfect down to the knee high socks, shoes polished, what used to be her fringe plated and secured so it was holding the rest of her hair back and a hint of make-up to make her eyes seem bluer and larger- she made her way to the DADA classrooms. Her assignment was already seated at his table and had looked up as she entered.
"Are you our new student?" He asked.
"Yes, sir." She answered politely. "I'm called Aly." He looked down at the parchment in front of him.
"Ah, Yes. Alyona Riddle."
"I prefer Aly, Sir, for obvious reasons."
"I'm sure you do." He answered kindly. Alyona was surprised she was sure he knew why she was here and it seemed like they were going to have a game of 'I-know-you-know-I-Know'.
The rest of the class started to arrive and she took a seat in the middle of a room. Professor Lupin stood up. "Can any of you give me a definition of Dark Magic?" He asked the class. They shared some confused looks but Alyona raised her hand. "Yes, Miss R- Aly?" He corrected himself.
"It's magic used with the intent to cause harm." She replied looking down at her parchment so that he couldn't see her smirking.
"Exactly, 5 points to Slytherin." He said turning back to the board. "That is essentially what it is." He said writing her definition on the black board. He turned back to the class, "Now there are two categories in there. Those spells which are designed with purpose of causing someone pain and harm and those normal spells which are not but can be adapted to such a purpose. Can anyone tell me some Dark Magic?"
"Jelly-legs." A Gryffindor said.
"Furnunculous." Put in a Hufflepuff.
"The Unforgivables." This one of course said by a Ravenclaw.
"Wingardium Leviosa."
"Yes that's all true, 5 points to each of you. They can all be used for that purpose." He smiled at them. "Aly I noticed you said Wingardium Leviosa how can that be used as Dark Magic?"
"Well, D-You-Know-Who's supporters use it to torture Muggles." She explained and started berating herself about almost calling him Dad it wouldn't help to be flaunting that around.
"Exactly." He said turning back to the board.

"Okay that's all for today for homework I would like you to use a 'normal' spell that we haven't talked about and explain how they can be used as dark magic. It should be 500 words. Aly may I have a word with you?"
"Of course, Sir." She said walking up to his table as the other students left the room.
"Now I know you'll have a lot of work this being your NEWT year but I thought you might like to read up on what we've covered earlier on in the year." He said handing her a piece of parchment. "You can find all those books in the library."
"Thank you, sir." She said as she got to the door she turned back. "Sir?"
"Yes?"
"Do you think that you could give me some tutoring sessions so that I can catch up with the practical work?"
"I'll think about it."
"Thank you, sir." She smiled leaving the room.
"How did it go?" A voice whispered in her ear and she jumped.
"Fuck, Snape! Don't do that!" She snapped.
"Well how did it go?"
"Fine! I have asked for tutoring so I can catch up with work covered over the start of the year."
"The dark lord will be pleased." Snape commented.
"He'd better be."

"What is Miss Riddle like?" Dumbledore asked as Remus joined him in his office.
"She seems nice and quite a good student." He said emphasising the 'seems'. "She also asked for tutoring sessions to 'catch up with the practical work'. I said I would think about it."
Dumbledore looked thoughtful for a moment. "I think you should do it." He said at last. "We can not be seen to be treating her any different than we would any other student." Remus nodded and stood to leave, as he reached the door Dumbledore called out, "Oh and Remus?"
"Yes, Albus?"
"Just be on your guard."
