Summery: The story of Voldemort's only child and her experience at Hogwarts. Will she follow her father's dark ways or will she join the light side?
Rating: Shouldn't be worse than PG but I'll say PG13 just in case.

Kali stormed back to the Leaky Cauldron, cluthing her purchases, and had almost started up the stairs to her room when Tom's voice rang out to her. "Miss Riddle!" He called urgently. Kali pretended not to hear him and began walking up the stairs. "Miss Riddle, there's someone hear to see to you!" Kali stopped immediately, curiosity had gotten the better of her. She walked back down to Tom, smiling sweetly.
"Who is it?" she asked him.
I wonder if it's Father, maybe he found out I was here.
What if it's that idiot at the book store...the one with glasses and messy hair...
Someone cleared their throat behind her. Tom's eyes went over her shoulder and smiled politely. Kali turned around. A skinny wizard in dark blue robes with stars stood about four feet in front of her. He had a long white beard and half moon glasses.
Albus Dumbledore
"Hello there, Miss Riddle. I was wondering if you would mind if I had a word with you for a moment," Dumbledore inquired her.
And I care why?
"Actually, I'm kind of tired. I was thinking of going to bed. Can we do this some other time?" she replied, adding a yawn for effect.
"Of course, I understand." He told her nodding. Kali turned around and had just started walking towards the stairs when Dumbledore said something that made her heart drop to my stomach.
"If it means anything, you look just like him. It's uncanny." he called to her. Kali spun around, looking at him questioningly. "Your father that is, almost identical you two are." He added softly, a twinkle in his eyes. Kali walked up to him, irritated.
"Fine, you have my attention," she admitted to him.
"Would you care to have a seat?" Dumbledore asked her, motioning towards a private booth. Kali took a seat across from him. They were both silent for a minute or two, when Dumbledore broke the silence. "Where should we begin?" he asked her, smiling.
"Can you tell me about my father?" she asked softly, searching his face for answers.
"Yes and no. There are some things I can tell you and there some things I don't even know. First things first. Your father, Tom Riddle, is Voldemort, also known as the Dark Lord. Since you are his only child, you are his heir," Dumbledore told her calmly.
"I already knew that," she replied.
"Alright, what do you know about your mother?"
"She left me with my aunt when I was really young. She said that I reminded her of my father too much and she couldn't take it any longer," Kali replied resentfully.
"Well, I'm here to ask you to join the light side. I know that you're not like your father. You're not evil, like him," he told her," so will you join the light side and fight against Voldemort?" Anger flashed in Kali's blue eyes and they quickly turned to red.
"I'm not sure I can do that," she replied in a voice unlike her own.

A few thousand miles away Lord Voldemort watched from his magical crystal globe as his daughter, Kali, stood up and walked away from Dumbledore. Voldemort relaxed in his high backed chair and grinned.
"That's my girl,"
