Chapter Three: Gringotts
The sun was visible through the green and silver curtains. You could see the homework and books littered on the ground. On the floor laid a person, her arms covered in blood from the mirror she punched. Just looking at her face, you would say she went through no hardship or pain. Her life has never seen happiness but only saw sorrow and agony. The sound of knocking woke the girl from her dreamless sleep.
"Adriana wake up, there's an owl for you" shouted the person thru the door.
"I'm getting up, you annoying prat!" she spat at him. Getting up she brushed of the dust from her uniform before walking into the common room. Sitting on her chair was a black owl bearing the Gringotts crest. Grabbing the letter from the owl, she sat down not caring if the owl was still there. The sound of angry hooting was unheard as she read the letter.
It read:
28 October 1996
From: Gringotts Will Department
To:
Adriana Skylar Malfoy, Vault Holder
Subject: Heritage Reading
Dear Ms. Malfoy:
It has come to the attention of Gringotts Bank, that you have requested a heritage test. Also we offer our deepest sorrow to hear about your break up with Ms. Johnson. Attached to this letter is a port key, just say the word "Gold" and you will immediately be at my office.
Griphook
Head of the Gringotts Will Department
Sighing she transfigured her uniforms to elegant dress robes. Shouting "Gold" she was whisked through the air landing in front of an elegant building. Once entering the lobby she looked for an empty teller. She walked toward a desk. "Yes?" the goblin sneered
"Hi" Adriana drawled out "I received a letter from Griphook asking for me to come here"
"Name?"
"Adriana Malfoy"
"Wait right there Ms. Malfoy, I will get a goblin to escort you to Griphook's office." The goblin disappeared behind the desk
Adriana wasn't kept waiting long. "Ms. Malfoy?"
She turned around recognizing the goblin who was calling him. "Yes, Ragnook?"
Ragnook looked surprised, but mention for Adriana to follow him. "Follow me"
They walked through two doors and then a long hallway before stopping at an office. "Griphook will see you now" Ragnook opened the door for Adriana and closed it promptly when she was in the room.
"Ms. Malfoy. Please have a seat." The goblin gestured toward the chair before the desk and Adriana sat. "I am Griphook. Thank you for coming. "
"Can we just get this over" She leaned casually back into the chair, a look of boredom was on her face.
"Okay. I just need you to cut your hand and pour some into this bowl" the goblin gestured toward a knife lying against a wooden bowl. "When you have cut your hand, just pour it on to the paper."
Grabbing the knife, Adriana hissed in pain as the blade cut into her flesh. She watched as the blood dripped into the wooden bowl. When she saw enough blood in the blood, she took the knife of her hand.
"Tergo" she whispered. When she heard the sound of the wound heal, she poured the blood onto the paper. It started to change different colors for a few moments before fading back to the same color with text. Watching as the blood formed into words, she was shocked to see what it said

Looking up from the paper, Adriana almost fainted. She couldn't believe it. A very shocked goblin looked at her with respect and a hint of fear.
"Dumbledore lied to me about my parents "Adriana whispered in shock. Her nostrils began to flare as she thought of Dumbledore and his lies. The paper in her hand was burnt to dust, as she clutched it in a vice grip. Her teeth bared fangs at the thought of her adoptive parents.
Griphook sat there while Adriana almost burnt down his office in anger. The portraits of former goblins watched in fear as a black ring circled Adriana. It began incasing her, wrapping her inside the black veil. The ground began rumbling in power as the black veil grew to enormous size. Screams of agony and pain filled the room as if her body was contorting into another form. Windows began rattling as the black veil was sucked into Adriana's body. A flash of light exploded the lights as the black veil exploded.
Inside the veil
Adriana felt waves of magic course through his body before she cried out as her muscles seemed to stretch and her mind explode; the greatest pain coming from her back and, as she watched, she saw the skin of her go from pale to an almost deathly white; her 5ft 11 body now stretched to near 6ft 3 and filled out until she was as healthy as any 17 year old. After that Adriana felt a powerful static course over her skin, making every hair on her body stand on end, her body glowing with a black and emerald aura, before she relaxed.
The final change came when Adriana felt something soft and silky tickling her neck, she looked down and saw a basilisk wrapped around her neck, but before she could see what else happened she had to shut her eyes and rub until she could see again.
Finally, Adriana heaved a sigh and looked at her hands, noticing his pale sheen almost glowing with the magical power inside her; before she could say another word, Adriana turned and found Griphook holding a mirror, showing Adriana the true body of her 17-year-old self.
She was standing at 6ft 3 and was as lean as a dancer: her hair was platinum blonde and straight, but, as she brushed back a lock of hair, Adriana grinned as she saw two ice-blue eyes staring back at her; the pupil of each eye was a shiny silver color. She began running her tongue over teeth but stopped when she felt a pair of fangs. As Adriana watched, she saw her robes change to a new set of black robes with silver round the hem and there, on her crest, was a long emerald green serpent coiling its way through the letters RM, a crown of spiked thorns atop the RM. Underneath the letter was a Latin inscription that Adriana couldn't make out until Griphook told her what it said on the crest:
Obscurum est nostrum amicus quod socius
"Your family motto" explained Griphook "Darkness is our friend and ally"
"I feel great and powerful "smiled Adriana "And now it's time to find my real path to greatness"
Riddle Manor:
A sharp pain jolted Tom out of his throne, scaring all of his death eaters. Blood dripping from his nose and eyes, Tom staggered as he tried to stand. But the pain in his head would not stop and it was pissing him off. His hands clutched his head while he screamed in pain as more blood dripped from his nose and eyes. Flashes of this 17 year old girl kept zooming in his head. He watched as she withered in pain before came out a carbon copy of Lucius. Then when he knew what was happening and he was giddy. He remembered when Dumbledore took her but before he could Tom put a spell on her, saying when she found out her true heritage they would fell it and share her pain. Tom began laughing in shock at the thought of his angel coming home.
"Tom what happened?" Lucius softly spoke but stopped when he felt the blood drip down his face. Then realization filled his eyes at what was happening. He looked at Tom with the question in his eyes and the nod he got back answered his question.
"I can't believe it" Lucius shouted as he jumped up and down with Tom.
"Can somebody tell me what's going on? Why are they jumping like that?" Bellatrix shouted confused
They kept repeating "She's coming home" and it was getting annoying.
"Who's coming home?!"
"Adriana's coming home!" Lucius and Tom shouted at the same time "I think it's time for a feast!" It was all a blur as the two men began shouting orders at the house elves for firewhiskey. The elf's looked at them crazy before popping into the kitchen and grabbing the firewhiskey.
Clinking his wand against his cup Tom stood up with a big smile
"To a great time in darkness. All thanks to my daughter who will be with us in a short time. Now we have the power to get back at Dumbledore for putting us in a dark place. To Adriana!"
Deeping in the crowd Snape looked scared at the thought of a new reign of darkness. Not that he didn't love his granddaughter but she was like tom too much and it scared him. She was a little hellion and being the dark lord's daughter only fueled it even more. With a troubled mind he left the manor.
