Chapter Ten: The ugly truth or is it really the whole truth?

Noel began to read the parchment.

Dearest Neveah,

If you are reading this either I have died, or have been stripped of my power. I am sure you are wondering why I am writing to you after my downfall. Let me try to explain. I was born Thomas Marvolo Riddle, half muggle. I despised my father, much the way you despised yours. I felt that it was my duty to rid the wizarding world of all muggle borns and you know the rest of the story from there. What you don't know is that I was your fathers bonded.

His calmer to be exact. I was fond of your father and loved him like he was my own brother. Then your parents had you. The apple of their eye. At first I was wary of you. Afraid to get to close in fear that you would reject me. Then I was named your godfather. No one knew how much joy that brought me. I spent much of my free time with you after that. I was quite fond of you . You became my own daughter and many thought you were. You must admit we look so much alike.

Then you began to grow before my very eyes. Soon you were walking, causing trouble where you went. Sadly the days came when you began to talk. You were no longer brought to meetings or to see me. We feared you might let something slip. When I lost you, my one true passion for life, I felt as if I had lost everything. I became bitter then, and my regin of terror really began.

Your parents told me that in those few first months you would cry for me. The thought brought both joy and pain. I continued to watch you grow, though it was from afar. I knew your parents had begun to distance themselves from you. They were far to devoted to me. That's when you began to hate both them and myself. I knew I could not lose you. I demanded they bring you back to me. It was time to tell you who I really was, your godfather.

Lucius Malfoy warned me that instead of getting your love, I might only earn more hate. You were beautiful, so grown since I had seen you last. But your eyes were filled with so much hate. I wanted nothing more then to erase it. That was why I killed your parents, to make you love me as you once had. It didn't work and you only grew to hate me more.

Then you came back to England, to stay with your other godfathers. Lucius Malfoy being one of them. I was happy to see you grow, and be closer to you. You have more powers then you know of my dear. When you were born I bestowed a gift upon you, I gave you the ability to speak Parsel tongue. I was hoping that one day you would be my heir. We could have ruled the world.

To my great surprise I found out of your bond to Severus, and Draco. I was over joyed, perhaps you would find some love for me after all. I then informed Severus that I wanted to see you. That day brought much pain to me. It was then I knew I had lost you forever.

I am your godfather Neveah. There are papers in your family vaults and my own to prove this. I loved you and still do. Though I was seen as evil, I am not. You are my pride and joy and you always will be.

I don't want you to feel guilty about what has happened to me. It had to be done, there was a prophecy to fulfill. I do not think less of you , nor do I blame you for it. Now to very important matters. I have named you as my sole Heir, for you truly were my daughter. My fortunes, the manors, everything is yours. I hope you will wear the Riddle and Voldermort family crests with pride.

I regret much of what I've done to be closer to you. Though killing your parents was not of them. You have brought so much joy to my life and there is no way I can thank you for it. I only wish I have been in your life more then I was. I hope that in time you can forgive me for all that I've done that has hurt you. For I never wanted to hurt you. You are my one true love in life, I love you as only a father can love a daughter. I hope life treats you well and happiness always follows you. Enjoy the items now in your possession. Remember I love you Neveah.

With much love,

Your Godfather, Thomas Riddle.

By the end of the letter Noel was in tears. Her quiet sobs woke up Xavier.

"My sweet Neveah, what is wrong? Why are you crying?" Noel handed him the letter. After a few minutes Xavier looked up.

"Neveah, please tell me that you don't blame yourself for what happened. You didn't know and it had to be done." Noel's tears continued to fall.

"Please don't cry Neveah. I hate to see you this way." Xavier brought the girl into his arms rocking her slowly back and forth. After a few minutes the carriages arrived at Rose manor. They walked slowly, exhausted from the days events. Lucius had noticed the parchment in the carriage and grabbed it. Once in the house he turned to Noel.

"What is this?" He asked holding the parchment out the girl.

a/n: Sorry its so short, but I was needed somewhere, and the info in the chapter could be important later. two chapters in one day look at how good I am. Enjoy and Happy New years!
