After the battle the Malfoys sat uncomfortably at one of the tables everyone thought it was because they didn't know if they should be there, but it was for a different reason they were worried, a much worse reason. A baby lay alone in a cradle at their house watched over by Wormtail. No one wanted to leave the baby alone with Wormtail but both of her parents came to fight, and both lay dead now. Finally Narcissa stood up.
"I'm going back home to check on Natasha. Who knows how Wormtail is handling her." She sighed.
"I'll come too mum. I'd love to get out of here." Draco agreed.
"I guess I'll come too." Lucius added.
Then Draco and Lucius stood up and followed Narcissa out of the school and off the grounds. As soon as they could they disaperated to their house. They walked up the front walk and in the door. Once in the door crying was heard. Narcissa rushed to the room her sister had shared with their master. She opened the door.
In the room Wormtail was attempting to quite the child with a pacifier but she kept screaming. Narcissa walked across the room and picked up the child. Natasha became silent. Wormtail looked shocked. Narcissa patted the child's back.
"Hush I'm home. It's ok. Hush." Narcissa told the one year old.
Natasha muttered the only words she knew. "Mumma, Dadda."
"Mummy and Daddy aren't coming home." Narcissa said tears welling in her eyes.
Natasha didn't know what was going on and began to fall asleep as Narcissa rocked her back and forth. Wormtail left the room. Soon the small girl was fast asleep and Narcissa laid her down in her crib. Narcissa quietly left the room.
Narcissa walk into the living room of her house and sat down. She put her hand on her face and cried. Draco and Lucius walked over to see what was wrong.
Narcissa just sobbed. "We can't keep her. It won't work."
"Sure we can Mum." Draco tried to comfort his mother.
"No. We'll have to tell her about her mum and dad. I don't want her to have to grow up knowing that her mother and father were horrible murders."
"We'll say she's our daughter." Lucius suggested.
"She has black hair and dark eyes like her parents we're all blond with pale eyes, she'll figure it out. She needs to grow up away from the wizard world. They'll figure it out; she looks too much like her mother." Narcissa sighed calming down.
"What should we do?" Lucius asked his wife.
"She'll grow up in Wool's Orphanage like her father, but on her eleventh birthday we'll bring her back to our world. She'll go to Hogwarts and hopefully not have it too bad. She's a tough little kid she punched Wormtail last week."
"I know how that it's going to be very hard for you but I know she make it." Draco thought a minute. "I'll become the potions professor. Then I'll be there when she comes to Hogwarts."
"Oh Draco, that's a wonderful idea." Narcissa hugged her son. "She'll be ok in the Muggle world I knew that it was Hogwarts that I worried about. Someone would guess I just know it."
"Should we change her last name?" Lucius asked.
"No." Narcissa sighed. "Bellatrix was proud that her child bore the name Riddle, so she shall."
The other two Malfoy's agreed. The Wormtail walked into the room. He looked nervous.
"The child bit me, again. Does she have to stay?"
"No, Wormtail. Tomorrow I'm taking her to an orphanage." Narcissa sighed. She had to do it before she back out of the plan.
The next day a baby was left on the doorstep of Wool's Orphanage. A note was pinned to her blankets. It read:
Dear Manager of Wool's Orphanage,
This is Natasha Adhara Riddle. She was born on May 15, 1997. Both her parents are dead, but I, her aunt, will come for her when she turns eleven. We will miss her very much, but she is better off here than with us. She whear a bird skull necklace, this was her mothers. Tell her this. Tell her we miss her. Tell her we love her. And tell her we're coming to get her back soon.
Keep her safe,
Narcissa Malfoy
_10 years later_
Three girls sat in their room each on their beds. There was a blond one who was about nine and a red head who was five or six. The last was Natasha Riddle; her birthday was today she was eleven.
"Tell us again." A small red haired girl asked.
"Yeah, Tasha." An older blond girl asked.
"Nina, Josie, you know the story. Anyways it's not that interesting. They probably won't come anyways."
"Oh No Tasha, your family's coming." Nina the red head said.
"Nina, I'm a freak why would they want me?" Tasha said tears in her eyes.
Nina got off her bed and climbed into Tasha's giving her a hug. "I bet you're a superhero. Maybe your parents were too and they died fighting some super evil villain like The Joker."
Tasha and Josie laughed, but smiled.
"Maybe, Nina, maybe." Tasha laughed.
Then there was a knock on the door. Josie got up and opened it. Mrs. Martin, the manager of the orphanage stood there.
"Miss Riddle, someone is here to see you." She said kindly.
"I bet it's your family." Nina smiled.
"Miss Lewis is correct." Mrs. Martin said. "Now come on."
Natasha and Mrs. Martin left and walked down to the office. Inside sat two men and a woman. The woman got up and hugged Tasha when she came in. Tears were in Narcissa's eyes again but this time they were from joy.
"Natasha, I've missed you so much." Narcissa smiled.
Natasha felt a little awkward, but this was her family so she didn't complain about the hug.
"I'm Narcissa. This is Draco, my son, and Lucius, my husband." Narcissa said pointing to them in turn.
Draco stuck out his hand and Tasha shook it.
"Umm hi." She muttered.
Lucius also shook hands with her. Then they all sat down. After about an hour of adoption interviews Tasha was going home with the Malfoys. Narcissa took her up to her room to collect her things. When they had finished packing Josie and Nina gave Tasha a hug.
"Don't forget us." Nina said.
"Yeah, we're gonna miss you."Josie said.
They both had tear in their eyes.
"I'll miss you both and I'll never forget you." Tasha said hugging them back.
After many good byes and tears Tasha sat in the back of the Malfoy's limo. She took out her three rubber bouncy balls and began to turn them in midair. Narcissa was reading her profit, Draco was planning lessons and Lucius was also reading a profit. None of them noticed her using her magic. A few minutes later she put the balls away and cleared her throat that was dry from nerves. She brought herself to ask the question she had wondered since she could remember.
"Who were my parents? No one knew at the orphanage."
Narcissa put down the paper and looked a little nervous. She had hoped this question would come later. "Tom Riddle and Bellatrix Lestrange."
"What did they do for a living?"
"That's hard to explain, but it'll make more sense later."
Tasha shrugged. "Were they…super heroes?"
Narcissa looked confused, but Draco had understood the question. "No they weren't super heroes." Tasha looked a little disappointed. "They were wizards."
Tasha looked shocked. "W-W-Wizards? I'm I one?"
Lucius, Narcissa and Draco smiled amused at this. Draco answered. "Yes you're a witch.. I don't think Tom and Bella would have allowed a non magic child, not that they any choice, they were powerful you probably one too. You're a Pureblood too."
Tasha looked confused. "Pureblood?"
"It means you whole family's been wizards." Lucius explained.
"Are you?"
"Yes." All three Malfoys answered.
Tasha crossed her arms. "I don't believe you. Prove it. What are you…cowards?"
"Just like her mother." Lucius sighed. Then he took out his wand and said. "Lumos." The tip of his wand lit up. Tasha looked somewhere between scared and fascinated by it.
"When do I get a wand?" She demanded. She had seen real magic and wanted it.
"Ah and power hungry like her father. Soon Natasha, soon." Lucius chuckled then he muttered. "The wizard world had better watch out."
Narcissa looked shocked and Draco's eyes darted back and forth between Tasha and his father.
"What's supposed to mean?" Tasha demanded.
"You're father liked power that's all." Narcissa said, giving her husband a look that meant say no more.
