A Different Side.

I do not own any of this except Paige, Hayden and Adria

Chapter 2: A New Truth.

Paige teleported Clarissa to the front of the Riddle manor where Hayden Clan, one of the Hogwarts students, opened the door for them.

"Welcome back princess, Miss Granger." Hayden's eyes widened at the guest. "What is the mudblood doing here?" He asked coldly.

"Miss Granger is now Miss Riddle." She lowered her voice. "I'll tell you later." Hayden nodded his head and let them in.

"Come, let me show you to your room in the east wing. You'll be sharing the east wing with me." Paige informed Clarissa as they walked towards the east wing. " You'll have a bedroom, a study room, bathroom, a personal library and five other rooms to put stuff or do anything you want with them. There it is, you room." Paige opened the door and onvited Clarissa in. Clarissa gasped at what she saw. The room was huge. A large couch, a big fireplace and a really big four poster bed with dark blue sheets with similar dark blue curtains surrounding it with a bedside table next to it. There was a small room next to the couch.

"Paige, what is that small door for?"

"Oh that? That is your door to the rest of the house except the grand hall. Just say where ever you want to go and you'll be there." Paige explained.

"Paige, can you tell me about my family? My mother? My father? You?" Paige took a huge breath, knowing that she cannot escape this. There was so many things she needed to tell Clarissa or her father will get angry.

" Sure. Well, i guess it started about 19 years ago, your mother and my mother were the best of friends. Nothing could break them apart." Paige smiled, reliving the memories. " Then they met Tom Riddle and they fell in , love with him and he fell in love with the both of them. They fought over him. But made up in the end. They had a crazy idea that father was reluctant to agree to. The both of them decided to marry father. He had no choice but to agree because he did not want to lose and one of them. They all got married on the same day. Father loved the both of them so much. That was before he turned evil." Paige finished with a sigh and her eyes suddenly turned cold. Clarissa noticed this and frowned.

"Why did he turned evil then? If he loved them so much?" Clarissa was hungry for more information.

"Because they day that we were born, our mothers gave birth on the same day by the way, aurors raided the Brimly manor because they suspected that father was on the dark side. My mother managed to summon enough strength to teleport us out of there. Father was outnumbered but managed to escape as well. You mother was killed and we never saw you again." Paige's eyes were brimming with tears. She quickly wiped them away, crying was a weakness. But Clarissa was burning with anger.

"Who? Who killed my mother?" Clarissa demanded. Paige's eyes turned cold again.

"Its better if i don't tell you." Paige whispered.

"Why not?" She demanded again.

"Revenge consumed my father, made him inhuman. I do not want the same thing to happen to you. What ever happened in the past was avenged a long time ago. Don't do what father did, he has already avenged your mother." Clarissa's eyes soften.

"Alright, I won't seek revenge, but please, at least tell me who it is." Clarissa begged Paige.

"James and Lily Potter." Clarissa'e eyes widened and tears began to pour. "Rest. You'll most probably get you school letter tomorrow. Then we have to get school supplies. Go to sleep." Paige left the room and walked towards her father's study.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Came a dry and caustic voice. Paige entered the study. "Have you found her yet?"

"Yes father I have." Paige replied with her head bowed down.

"Have you told her about Adria?"

"Yes I havfe father."

"Initiation ceremony?" Piage shook her head.

"How dare you? How dare you disobey my orders? Crucio!"

"Portego!" Paige blocked the attack with a wave of her hand. "I couldn'y tell her, theeling her about Adria was bad enough. She is very upset right now, I don't want to make her go insane!" She tried to reason with her father.

"Alright. Bring her out tomorrow. Make her look like an heir and tell her that her initiation is happening this weekend, before her trip back to Hogwarts." Paige nodded.

"There is a meeting tomorrow. Tell Clarissa to come. We have to make her feel wanted." Paige nodded her head again.

"Leave." paige bowed her head and left the room.

Clarissa was lying on her dark blue bed, sobbinf her heart out. Her best friend's parents killed her mother. For six years, she was best friends with a son of murderers. Clarissa was sobbing so hard that she did not notice someone coming in. she felt a pair of strong arms pulling her into a hug, she just continued sobbing into the shirt of the person holding her.

"I know its hard to deal with the fact that your best friends parents killed your mother. It was all in the past. Don't bring the pain of the past into the future. It will only hurt you more."

"Thanks." Came the muffled sound from the strangers shirt.

"Actually, I came to warn you. Your initiation ceremony is coming soom, you better prepare for it.." Clarissa'a head snapped up.

"What? I have to be a death eater? I have to choose the dark side just because i'm born into an evil family? This is absurd! And what are you doing here Malfoy?" Draco stood up from the bed.

"Paige told me what happened and I just wanted to check on you. It seems that you are more than just ok. Sorry if i disturbed you." Draco turned and started to walk.

"Wait. Could you stay with me Draco?" He supn around, shocked at what he heard. "I'm scared, and this place is so big. I'm not used to it." Draco walked towards Clarissa. Tucking her into bed and fell asleep next to her.
