31st December 1942

It was fifth year, and Venus and Tom were halfway through, it, and the time of year has come. Christmas!. People started to realise their growing obsession with one another. Especially the envious girls. The two were in the library searching for books on their new assignment. Of course Tom and her both got prefect grades but looking for a bigger goal.

'Venus,my darling. I want to know about my past. I have a feeling that my father went to Hogwarts and my mother had no ability in magic whatsoever. She succumbed to death, what weakness it brings.' He sat down next to her

'That's a big accusation,Tom. I don't know, what is your mothers name? And your fathers?' Venus replied

'Merope Gaunt and Tom Riddle Sr.' He replied gulping

'Gaunt you say? I don't think your mother is the muggle, Tom.' Venus goes to look for a book.

Tom followed closely behind. She went to the desk where Madam Redmond was writing.

'Madam, erm where are the book about famous family trees.' Venus asked desperately

'Well Miss Ravenclaw, there are over there but I don't want anymore book-throwing' she pointed to the far corner of the library

Venus thanked the librarian and rushed over to all the stacks of books. She mumbled to herself as Tom just leaned against the table.

'Gaunt where are you?' She mumbled

She then came across a dark green book. She took it out and looked at the book.

Slytherin  family Descendants

'Tom I've found it!' Venus jumped as she set the book on the table. Tom gripped her waist and kissed her cheek. She opened it up, Tom's eyes widened as he saw the flimsy paper of the Gaunt's family tree

Venus pointed to a brown haired woman that did look very boney and ill. And the man above it.

'That's her, Merope Riddle (née Gaunt). And the man, Marvolo Gaunt, she had a brother Morfin Gaunt. They had a family heirloom. My ring you gave to me.' Venus looked at her ring

Tom looked horrified

'How-my father, is a mudblood? This is a disgrace' he burned the book with his wand

'Tom this is a library book!' Venus looked at the pile of ash

'How is my stupid mother a witch! I have my mudblood fathers name!' He kicked the chair

'Tom you can't help it but—'

'I was conceived under a love potion! Venus. My life is not like any others! Understand that!' His forehead vein bulged

'I do understand but Tom, let's not think about it. What about the prophecy, then you can think about your parents' Venus patted his shoulder

'I guess you are right. Now, we have found about the chamber of secrets, Slytherin made a thousand years ago. But where is it?' Tom tapped his foot impatiently

'I have researched that the Basilisk that lies within the chamber scares away spiders. The other founders knew nothing of this chamber. Slytherin disagreed with the other Hogwarts founders on the merits of blood purity. That's why he built it so that it's heir can open it and set a purge on the school. Tom that's you! You are able to open the chamber! But the place is unknown, but we will eventually figure it out' Venus said looking down

After some time Tom and her exited the Library and walked down the chilly hall.

'Oh Tom, it's your birthday, happy birthday' Venus gave him a large box. He looked at her, he had never gotten a present in his life.
