Chapter 10
A.N. I'm sorry I've not updated for ages but schoolwork and social life were collapsing around me but thankfully now everything is back on track so that means lots more chapters!
Previously on 2 Weeks to Marry…
"We are going to annoy the hell out of each other when we get married." Sirius said and put his arms around Elle's waist. Nothing seemed wrong until Elle found a letter in the post…
On With the Story… By the way this is going to be set around Elle and Sirius.
Elle wandered into the kitchen of Sirius' flat and found a letter on the top of a counter addressed to her.
"Sirius, when did the mail come?"
"Um, sometime between when you left and you came back." Sirius said lightly
"Sirius." Elle said and there was tension in her voice. Sirius who had come into the kitchen looked at her, never once in knowing her had Elle let something as simple as the delivery of the mail get under her skin.
"Elle, she-girl, it was 2 o'clock, what's wrong?" At the mention of this Elle went rigid and began to rock forwards and backwards slowly. Sirius looked at her.
"Elle what's wrong?" Elle couldn't speak her throat seemed to be blocked up with something she couldn't name. She dropped the crumpled envelope on the floor and handed the letter to Sirius.
Sirius read it, his eyes getting wider by the minute and at the end he whispered "No way."
"Yes way, I always told you I was an orphan but in reality I have a father. My name Sirius is Elle Riddle, my father Tom Riddle and my mother Amelia Riddle. My father is Lord Voldemort." Sirius stared at her and then said
"No, I don't believe it."
"You better because it's the truth."
"But why didn't you tell me before?"
"Sirius, it's pretty obvious why I didn't tell you."
"Tell me everything." Sirius said and he motioned for them to sit down. Elle sat down and began to talk
"I was bought up in France as I told you but with a father and a mother. Yes my father was Lord Voldemort but he wasn't around me. He always seemed to be nice to me and mother, I mean he would be, wouldn't he, him being mon pere and ma mere's husband" In her agitation Elle began to use bit of French in her speech "Everything was fine then when I was 11 and I was about to be sent to Beauxbatons my father tried to break me in as he called it. I ran away, I never returned to that place, I changed my surname so I wasn't associated with them and I got rid of a mark my father had put on me, I didn't care, they were no longer my family, Beauxbatons was. Nothing for 20 years then I get this letter." Elle spoke bitterly at the end and stared at the note again.
"Read it to me again Sirius, please?" Elle pleaded her blue eyes shining slightly with tears. Sirius though he was shell-shocked obliged.
Dear Elle,
Finally I've tracked you down. I left you alone at Beauxbatons but surely what happened so long ago can be forgiven. Your mother died 1 year ago. Anyway enough of the past, I hear from my contacts your marrying Sirius Black. Well isn't it to bad it won't happen seeing as you've been engaged to Lucius Malfoy since you were born.
Yours
Dad
"I'm not marrying him Sirius, but I'll endanger you if I don't. I don't know what to do." Elle said and Sirius held Elle for a long time. Later on that night when Sirius and Elle were in bed supposedly asleep Elle got up. All night she had been forming a plan in her head and she knew it was the only way, though it was very hard she decided to do it. She got up and wrote a letter to Sirius and left the apartment.
The next day Elle woke up in a Motel absolutely exhausted but determined to follow through her plan. She hurried to Diagon Alley wearing a droopy hat to hide her afce and hair and bought some hair dye that was not like muggle hair dye at all. This hair dye you could have it any colour you wanted you just had to whisper the colour over the packet before you applied it to your hair and it would go that colour. Next she quelled the desire to go into a nearby Boutique but went to a charity shop and bought lots of draped clothes.
Now there was only two things left to do, one a new name and two a new job.
Elle went and bought the Daily Prophet and saw the perfect job. Then she went and introduced herself to herself in the mirror and said
"Goodbye Elle Riddle, hello Sybil Trelawney."
