Hi guys a lot has been happening that why it has been a while but just know it is because of a few things that happen around the time of my last update, okay. Anywhere enjoy the chapter I feel like this is where the story is heading towards key moment.

Chapter 13

Christmas time is around the bend and as I expected; I have been invited to the Malfoy Manor for yule time. I don't know what I will see or what will happen there. All I know is that Draco will be by myside when I am there. Of course part of the trouble of been there is that I have protect myself the best a can from the dark lord. Grandfather has told me by the time I am there I will be ready. I just don't know myself. See I get that I should be but I can't help but feel this way because the person I am coming face to face is going to be my father and I don't know if I will be strong enough to keep the truth from him. I have these questions and I don't have a way of finding out the answers until I get there. I have been talking to Hermione through the diary. Nothing much has happened so far on their end. So much has happened on my end. Hogwarts has gone down a hill and there is only so much I can do. Seeing as I am Draco's girlfriend I am trusted a bit. Some detentions I have been involved in and I trick everyone into believing that the detentions has been served with curses of sorts when it is just lines. This I am proud of and so is Hermione when I told her what I have been doing instead. Only she and I know the truth of what happens when I am involved in the detention. Which is best.

I spend a lot of time in the Slytherin common room and with Draco. Snape has a plan about my education he only has me around certain teachers that understand that I have only been here one year. They just don't know that because no one can talk about me around any of two Carrow. Also they think I am in their class just sitting in the back. Only the students know that I am not there.

I am walking down the hall when Professor McGonagall walks towards me. She looks at me and I know that look, she wants to talk to me. So I follow her. We arrive to her office. We entre.

"Miss Siddle, this term has made me surprise with what side you have ended up on. What your relationships. When the Weasley took you in over the past summer we never once thought you would turn on us." She tells

"Professor, I never said I have change side, you and others just believe that. I am just sticking to the person I love, Professor. We are in war and I wish to be by the side of the person I love. I know people don't believe me. I am afraid for the time ahead for the break, Professor. I will be near him and his' follower only because of one person and that is Draco. Don't believe me, that's fine. I have two other people beside me and Draco that know this. By the way I will not say who there are." I tell her "I am just following my heart and have they understand too."

"Siddle, your marks have been high, even knowing you never went to any of my classes before this year, I hope you continue like this." She tells me

"Of course Professor." I say to her. I move to walk out of the room

"Anna, you know that people mistrust you?" she ask me. I turn to her

"I know, but I will do what best for myself first and help where I can. Maybe you can pass on this message. Secrets in a room where everything to keep you safe from the demons in the halls, where you can heal. The room for DA is best for use in the future, Don't you think." I say and with that I exit the room.

Hopeful with that message people will have the safe haven their need.

…

We arrived at Malfoy Manor and I grab Draco's hand tight. I look at him and he gives me a smile. It's time for me to meet the family. We enter the front door and the place feels so dark it hard to breathe here and I have no idea how anyone can handle been here.

"Looks like baby Draco has found himself some little girl" was drawn out of Bellatrix, I look at her.

"Aunty, leave her alone." Draco tells her

"I have to make sure she is worthy now" Bellatrix responds. I had enough

"If we are talking about me; let me add that I don't like that. Oh and worth needs to be assessed by the head of the house; which you are not" I tell her.

"Fire… you have done well here, baby Draco" says Bellatrix

"Where is mother and father? I wish to let them to meet Anna Siddle; my girlfriend" he tells her. With that she has a smile slowly appear on her face.

"Oh, down the hall but I wouldn't go up there; the Dark Lord is here and he is not happy" she lovely reply. Seems like she is happy when others are hurt; even family.

"Then we shall wait" he tells her. That when the doors opens and Voldemort comes out. My heart stops. I grab Draco's arm. I can face him. He looks at us; like we are an open bar and he can take what he wants from us.

"I see Draco and his' girl have arrived back from Hogwarts. I have been told that she has been helping with punishment now. Bellatrix what do you say of this girl?" he asks her

"Lord she has fire, I believe she shall be good to your side. Rumour has it that she spent most of the summer with the low lives. So I think we should see what she knows." She tells him

"While, let's see then." He says "so what do you know of their plans, potter's plan?" He asks me

"Nothing because they don't trust me; oh and before you do something, it is because Snape killed Dumbledore. See I spent a lot of time with him so in the summer no one talked to me. I have no friends there." I tell him and if he looked he would see that I am saying the truth. Half-truths can be your best friend.

"Snape… stopped you from founding out what there are up to?" Bellatrix asked

"Yes; but also because I am a Slytherin. No one was going to tell me one way or another because of that fact. Also with how people saw me interact at the school. No information on plans from me. Sorry about that." I tell them

"You are right Bellatrix she does have fire. She needs to be brought down to high." Voldemort says. This cannot be good. I don't know what to do in this moment. He rises his' wand to send a spell at me. In that moment I know what I have to do. Secrets do have to be shown. Why not start now.

"Anna Asha Riddle was your daughter's name?" I ask him. He stands there, looking at me.

"Yes; she is dead" he tells me

"No she is not. Dumbledore took her and hind her power from her. Gave her to a new family but still with the same name. Without fear she would found her way back to you. He should have had that fear. Do you want to know why?" I ask him. He looks at me with a question in his eye. One secret that had to be discovered needs to be this. I will have to talk to Draco later about this.

"Tell me why dear Anna." He tells me

"Your daughter found her way back to you." I tell him

"And when did she do this?" he asks

"Right now, I had my power nearly taken away from Snape has helped me discover the way to unlock what was taken from me. My name is Anna Siddle but as the Sorting hat told me I am not a real Siddle but a Riddle. You, the Dark lord; named me Anna Asha Riddle, when I was born." I tell him.

Everyone looks at me with a shocked look. I look at them and give them a smirk, I had to give up a secret. Hopeful grandfather will be okay about it.

"I have been preparing to meet you finally father"

Didn't realise I was going to showcase a secret

Voldemort knows his' daughter is alive

Can't wait to follow up on this

See you next time
