Half way thru the Quidditch match. You swoop down and take the Quaffle from a chaser and speed down to the Hufflepuff goal. You doge a bludger and toss the Quaffle up and using your broom as a bat, you hit it into the goal. "Gryffindor leads by one thousand ten points to zero! Darcie Riddle is the best chaser Hogwarts has seen! And the Snitch has been spotted!!!" you hear the announcer call. You gain the Quaffle back and pass it to another chaser on your team. The Hufflepuff keeper thought it would be passed back to you and moved accordingly. The chaser shot and… GOAL!! Suddenly there was a cheer. "Harry Potter has caught the golden snitch!! Gryffindor won!!" Hmm, I guess that prediction was wrong, I… oh crap!!' A Bludger shot at your head and you doge it, it turns and hits you. You stay on your broom but it turned for another attack. This time you fell. You sit up and see the team run to you.
"Are you okay?"
"Yes. My head hurts a bit."
December, right before Christmas break. "Darcie, I'm going home for break. I thought I could get out of it, but I can't."
"I understand Draco. Here." You pulled out a small box, wrapped in silver paper and a green ribbon.
"I got something for you too." He handed you a green box with a gold ribbon. You open the box and see a necklace with a silver moon dangling at the end of the chain.
"Draco, I love it!!"
Draco smiled, "Well, you had said you loved the moon. You stared at him. You had told him what you thought about the moon months ago, before he had asked you out. You didn't think he had listened. "Yes, I remember." He laughed as he saw the astonishment on your face.
"Well, go ahead and open yours."
He opened it and gasped. "You got me a, a, a snitch?" you smile. "How?"
"One of my good friend's big brother is a Quidditch pro. He's the Seeker for America. And I know how much you like Quidditch."
"You know a pro?"
"He taut me all I know. I'm not just a chaser, I can play any position."
"I love you!!" he said pulling you to him and kissing you.
"I know!! Now get on that train!"
You get back to the deserted common room. Every Gryffindor had gone home but you and Harry. However, you and he hadn't been getting along lately
"Ware were you?" Harry asked.
"Seeing Draco off."
"I don't see what you see in him."
"And I don't see what you don't."
"He's going to hurt you!"
"Shut up you stupid Ferret!!"
Harry came up close to you. "I'm just worried about you."
"Well, don't! it's just making me hate you and y…" The next thing you know, Harry was kissing you. You push him away. "What the hell is wrong with you?! Just stay away from me for now on!!" you start walking away when movement in a corner stopped you. You turn to see a snake.
You see the snake get ready for an attack. In Parsletong. You say; "NO! Go away, snake. You have no business hear."
You see Harry look shocked and he started talking in parsletong also. "Darcie, you speak…?"
"Shut up Potter!!"
"Ah, But I do have business hear." The snake said slithering closer to you. Before your eye's it began to change, and before long a tall, skinny man stood before you, his wand drawn.
"VOLDAMORT!!"
"It's time for you to die once and for all, Potter."
Harry searched his pockets for his wand. You grab your wand.
"Too late, Potter. AVADA KADAVRA!!"
You shout a spell at the same time, pushing Harry out of the way.
"Girl, you would risk your life for him?"
"He's a friend, I would."
"As you wish, AVADA KAD-" he stopped and looked at your determined face.
"Why dose it have to be you? I can't kill you."
"What?"
by this time, Harry was on his feet.
"What are you doing hear? You should be in Slytherin. And sticking up for Potter no less!"
"What are you talking about?" you were confused, why was Voldamort, the dark lord acting like this?
"So, Dumbledor has not told you. Well Darcie Riddle…"
"How do you know my name?!" his thin lips twitched into a smile-like sneer.
"I am your father." You stair at him for a second than started laughing, making him get angry.
"My father! That's a good one!! My father is Tom, not you, Tom M…"
you stopped talking when he started writing something in the air. I Am Lord Voldamort.' he then waved his wand making the letter's rearrange into Tom Marvolo Riddle.'
Your eyes got wide. "NO! NO! NO!…" he laughed again, As you screamed this at the top of your lungs. You fell to your knees, holding your head, as if waiting to wake up from this nightmare.
"What's the matter? Shocked that your father is as powerful as…" he stopped and turned as the portrait of the fat lady swung open, with a loud pop he was gone.
"Miss Riddle! What is all the commotion in hear? Mr. Potter?" McGonagall asked sternly.
"Professor, It's not her fault, Lord Voldamort was here and…"
"You know who was here?!"
"Yes."
"Follow me, NOW!" she led you to Dumbledore's office. "Albus! You know who was here!" she shouted.
Dumbledore stud up, a worried look on his face. "Minerva, take Mr. Potter and Miss Riddle to their dorms to pack their things. Essentials only!! And send for Snape."
"Sir, could I have a word?" you ask in a small voice.
"You may."
After you were alone, you turned to the headmaster. "Sir, is it true? Is the dark lord my father?"
"He told you that?"
"He did."
"Yes."
"WHAT?!! BUT YOU SAID HE WAS DEAD!!"
"Settle down. Your father, Tom Riddle, is dead. He destroyed that part of him when he became Voldamort." You look down. Snape came into the room.
"You sent for me?"
"Yes, Voldamort was hear, I want you to take Harry and Darcie to the safe place.
"Uncle Severus, did you know?"
"What?"
"About my father. Is that why I was in danger? Why I had to have you teach me more defense spells?"
"Yes."
You nod and stair at your lap. Harry and McGonagall came back in, Harry had a bag McGonagall had packed for you. Snape shoved you and Harry into the large fireplace, grabbed a handful of floo powder and stepped in with you. You take a deep breath and he opened his mouth to shout the destination.
You were spinning fast; suddenly you stopped and started to fall. Snape steadied you. "Thanks."
Snape nodded and stepped out of the fireplace. You look over at Harry, he had fallen and was covered in soot. "It's not funny, Darcie!"
"Yes it is!" you say laughing harder. You look around the place Dumbledore had called the safe spot'
"This place looks like something from a Muggle Horror film!" Harry said, brushing off his soot covered face.
"Oi! Sir, were are we?"
"My childhood home." Snape said, picking up a old photo. He rubbed the dust away and looked at it. "See."
He handed you the picture. It had two kids, standing by of the Hogwarts Express, waving. Young Snape and your mom "Follow me." He said leaving the room. You set the photo down and walk beside Harry.
"Um, why did he show you that photo?" Harry whispered.
"It had my mother in it."
"Your mother? Why…?"
"Professor Snape is my uncle, he was my mum's big brother." You whisper back.
"Oh," he seemed shocked. You were lead up a set of creaky stairs and to a set of doors. Snape opened a door and turned around. "Harry, this will be your room." Harry entered the empty room. "Darcie, this one is yours it was your mother's." you step inside to find it fully furnished the Gryffindor banner hung on a wall and the room was painted in Gryffindor colors. You got settled and went back out into the hall. "A few members of the order of the phoenix will be arriving soon."
