Disclaimer: I own nothing. I'm not making any money off this story.

Okay, I'm sorry for anyone who's been waiting for this post. I haven't really had time because of school work. And when I'm not working I've got other things that I need to do. And of course a person does need a bit of time to sleep and eat and try to maintain sanity. So as you can see my schedule doesn't exactly have a place for writing. But it's Thanksgiving now (well Canadian at least… go Canada!) and I really got into one of my writers mood (hence the fact that if you look at my user profile now there's like 4 new story ideas). So I decided this was the best chance I've got to update before Christmas, yes I'm sorry but it may very well take until then. Don't expect another update soon. Maybe if I get a bunch of response for this story I'll consider trying to find a chance to update before then, like weekends late at night when my only other option would be sleep. So I hope this keeps you happy until then. Read and review!

Chapter 1

Voldemort pulled out his wand and turned on the light. Theo's hands rushed out to cover her eyes.

"Alright, I'm up I'm up," she replied, "Just turn off the bloody light!"

He flicked his wand and the let went out. "Better?" he asked in a teasing voice. "Now come on. I have stuff that I want you to do."

Theo pulled herself out of bed. Voldemort left the room and she got changed. She then went to meet him in the room that best resembled a kitchen. Not that it was that great a room, after all like the rest of the house it was falling apart. When she got there she saw an envelope on the table with the Hogwarts crest on it.

"It finally came?" she said with a new found joy. Voldemort simply nodded. Theo tore the envelope open. She shook it above the table and a letter fell out. "You look at it," she said looking at the letter as if she thought it might blow up, "I can't bear to."

"Oh come on, how stupid could you possibly be? You're related to me after all," he said, reaching over and grabbing the letter. His eyes moved across the page as he read what it said.

"Well? How did I do?" Theo asked nervously.

"Well, let's just say that my brains didn't come from our father's side of the family," he said. He gave her a teasing look.

"So what? I got 0 N.E.W.T.s?" she asked with deep concern.

"No, you passed everything," he said teasingly. She punched him in the arm. "Hey, it wasn't that much of a lie. You passed most things. You got an Outstanding in potions, although I can't imagine how you wouldn't have. All you really needed to do for that class was tell them that you were my sister and then you'd basically be guaranteed top marks."

"Oh yes, you're the real reason why everything worked out for me at Hogwarts. Being related to you didn't cause any issues at all! Why would I mind basically being stalked by Dumbledore ever since day one?"

"I no, that could have become a real problem. Especially when word got out that I was going to become your legal guardian due to your parents' death. But you did I fine job of earning that old fool's trust. I don't know why, people always told me that I come across as very trustworthy."

"It's because I'm the beautiful one," she teased.

He glanced back up at his sister. Half sister, he reminded himself. He had to admit that she was beautiful. He had thought her to be quite pretty even as a little girl when she had first marched into Borgin and Burkes. She was certainly no little girl now. She had developed into a beautiful young woman. He often wondered had he would have felt about her had she not been related. He always told himself that he would have just seen her as any little mudblood and a disgrace to the wizarding world but he never felt thoroughly convinced.

"Well are you going to let me look at it?"

"Huh?" he said, startled from the sudden breakage of his train of thought.

"I said are you going to let me at my grades?" repeated Theo.

"Sure," he said shoving the letter into her hands. "Yes! Three N.E.W.T.'s!" she exclaimed.

"I got 7," he gloated.

Theo shot him an evil look. "I still don't get why you didn't let me take Devination. I was good at that!"

"As I said, you don't need it. It's completely useless. I truly don't believe in such things as predictions and prophecies. Utter nonsense."

"You're only saying that because you weren't any good at it," she teased.

It was his turn to give a dirty look. "You know all too well I could have been had I wanted to. But I chose to follow more important things." Theo gave him a look of amused skepticism. "But none of this is important anymore. Now that you have finally completed your education you can finally pursue things of true importance."

"And what might that be?" she asked.

His only response was the smirk on his face.

Well I hope you guys enjoyed that chapter! This was basically just to explain a few things about their relationship so far and try to get you guys up to speed. I also didn't want to start the action right away because I thought it might get a nit confusing to try to explain important things about them when I'm also trying to describe what's going on. I promise it will get more exciting soon enough. Anyone wondering how Theo's parents wound up dead? Well I suppose you could probably guess but I do plan to write that one in as a memory. I don't know when but eventually. I already have the scene completely played out in my head. I was considering putting it in when I mentioned the fact that Theo had gone to live with Voldemort after her parents' death but I decided its better just to wait a bit. After all I don't think a memory would fit in too well in this chapter. So I will try to find a place for it as soon as possible. But remember, since I don't want to disappoint you guys, I won't be updating for a while now. Maybe I'll update a few times around Christmas but probably not before then. Unless of course I get a lot of feedback for this chapter because then I might try to update a bit before then. So remember, REVIEW!
