I know this chapter is brutally short but there is a reason. I have problems writing history. :P So that's all you really get to know about his history for awhile, at least until you get to find out what happened on that fateful Halloween night. It will be awhile before that. Next chapter we have the arrival of the two schools and the Goblet of Fire will make its appearance. I won't be sending out the bonus chapter anymore, all of you who have gotten it or left your e-mail with the last part you're the last to get this bonus chapter. In later chapters there will be other bonus chapters offered so we'll see.

Disclaimer: As always I do not own!

Chapter 20

'Thomas M. Riddle married Zaire T. Snape; in 1980 they had a single child Atani Dorian Riddle. Zaire had trouble conceiving so when they had Atani it was great cause for celebration. Atani was born on July 31, 1980. On that same night he disappeared and Zaire was found dead, killed with a Muggle weapon.'

Harry stopped reading for a moment. Looking blankly at the page. His mother was dead, had died on his birthday. It would have been different if she had died in childbirth but she hadn't, a Muggle killed her, at least that's how it appeared. Harry had a sinking suspicion that Dumbledore had something to do with it. There was one thing Harry was happy about with regards to that paragraph, he knew his real name now, not that anyone would be able to call him by it for awhile.

"Atani Dorian Riddle." He said softly to himself. He smiled, "I like the way it sounds." He smiled and flipped to the beginning of the book, he had started near the end because he was curious about more recent events. He glanced over at the sleeping blonde, smiling lovingly at him. Softly he whispered to him, "Love you Drac." He said, going back to the book, "I guess I should start at the beginning." He sighed, wasn't looking forward to it, "Maybe I can just pick out the important parts." Slowly he began to read again, deciding it might be better to just read the whole thing.

'Salazar Slytherin was a powerful wizard and one of the four founders of Hogwarts. After the founding Salazar and Godric Gryffindor, another founder, had an argument about who should and should not be admitted into the school. Salazar left, leaving behind his legacy in the House of Slytherin and the Chamber of Secrets. Only an heir can open the chamber and being that you're reading this you must be an heir. After leaving he married and subsequently had children. It is unknown what because of him or his heirs but it is known that at least one had children as the line still continues. The surnames of the founders have ceased to exist. Only being used in the names of the Hogwarts houses and demarking heirs of the lines. The Slytherin line has always been pure until it merged with the Muggle line, Riddle, and every member of the line has been in Slytherin. Not all have had the Parselmouth ability but it is an ability exclusive to the line. All members on the other hand have an affinity for snakes, are able to understand them to a certain degree even without the ability to speak Parseltongue. Being that snakes are usually associated with evil the line has been construed as such.'

He stopped reading, rubbing his eyes slightly, "Gods I'm tired." He said softly, looking at his sleeping partner, "I should just go to sleep with you." He yawned, "There's nothing else interesting. Well, except maybe about what happened…" He trailed off, flopping back on the pillows. His eyes closed and he soon found himself asleep, the book open on his tummy.

Draco awoke first the next day, stretching absently. He smiled when he saw Harry asleep, the book open over him. Gently he brushed a stray lock of hair out of his face. It was getting long, silky soft. He smiled, brushing his fingers over his face, tracing his features.

"You deserve all the sleep you can get." He smiled, "I have a feeling something interesting is going to happen this year and I'm sure you'll like your surprise." He said softly, petting his hair lovingly.
