[2] Secrets

Chapter 3

A few weeks had gone past and Y/N had already ended up in the hospital wing. She lay there remembering how the buldger hit her during practice given the fact they were down a player. Her eyes drooped down and she dozed off to sleep.

"It's okay love, mummy's here don't cry," A female voice was comforting a baby girl.                  

"I'm not staying here anymore. Tom go to your mother leave me alone!" A male voice shouted

"DAD! MOM PLEASE WHAT'S HAPPENING?! " a younger version of Tom Riddle ran to the lady.

"It's okay Tommy, stay here with Y/N let me talk to your father," The lady assured her son.

"Merope stay away from me! Keep those kids away from me as well!" The fathers argued.

"They're your kids Thomas. I'm your wife. You can't leave us once your daughter has just been born. Your son loves you. He is 10 years old don't leave him!," Merope pleaded. Thomas left his family.

"Mom she's crying what do I do?" Tom asked his mother. Merope walked over to the cot and picked up her baby daughter.

"Tom go play in the garden go on love," Merope told her eldest child.  Obediently, he put his shoes on and walked out to the backyard.

"My beautiful baby, I will not wish my life on you. You will grow and have a good life, listen to Thomas okay. He will take care of you," Merope held Y/N in her arms.

"Ow!" Tom called out from behind the house.

"Tom? Thomas!" Merope ran outside. She saw that he had fallen down. 

"Ferula," she muttered and pulled out a bandage from thin air.

Tom stared at her in awe, "Mom how did you do that?"

Merope laughed, "Magic."

"Teach me please!"

Y/N woke up suddenly and saw Madam Pomfrey coming closer. Riddle let out a sigh of relief and lay down again.

"Y/N are you okay?" Madam Pomfrey asked.

"Yes I'm fine just my head is killing me, literally and metaphorically," She told her.

"Nothing that can't be fixed I hope," Poppy laughed. Y/N laughed aswell trying to forget what she dreamed of.

"Madam Pomfrey, can I ask you a question?" Y/N asked.

"Yes of course you can."

"Is it normal for people to have flashbacks or old memories come back?"

"Sometimes, it hasn't happened in a while," Pomfrey explained, "Now you need rest Miss Riddle." Y/N lay back and her eyes began to shut.

***

"Their names are Thomas Marvolo Riddle jr and Y/N Riddle," Merope told someone.

"Mom, what's going on?" Tom asked with a bad in his hand.

"I'll bring them both back later," Merope said ignoring her son. The family left their bags there and walked out. Merope took her children to the nearest park. She placed Y/N into a baby swing whilst Tom played on the slide. 

"I love you Y/N. I'm sorry for all the trouble that will come into your life after today. You will live better than me and you will be happy so will Thomas, but he's different so I wish the best life on you," Merope whispered as she pushed the swing.

"Mom, I'm tired," Tom came up to Y/N and Merope.

"I know love, but remember mummy loves you both," She gave Tom a wand and put a necklace around Y/N.

"I love you too mom," Tom hugged her.

"Take this wand and say this sentence with me okay," She looked at her son and daughter. "Avada. Kadavra. You have to say all together though okay, and once you said it hid the wand in the woods."

"Avada Kadavra," Tom said unsurely with the wand pointed to his mother's chest, shaking. The smile on Gaunt's face remained as she fell on the pole.

"I love you both okay," Merope told Tom as her last breath escaped from her mouth.

"Come on Y/N mom said we have to go," Tom threw the wand on the floor and picked up Y/N.  

***

Y/N awoke but this time Sirius was by her side. The 15-year-old girl was hot all over and turned to look at her side. Sirius took hold of her hand.

"Hey it's okay what happened?"

"I need to leave. Help me," Y/N got out of bed and immediately fell onto Sirius.

"Whoa whoa you are staying here," Sirius placed her back on the bad.

"You don't understand I need to leave. Please."

***

"Y/N please stop crying," Tom begged as they went back to the orphanage.

"Come on son, where's your mother gone?" The lady at the front desk asked.

"I don't know. She keeps crying I can't stop her."

The lady took Y/N off of Tom and took them both upstairs, "This is your room okay I'll put your sister with the other babies."

"NO! She stays with me, please."

"Okay, she stays with you. Do you know where your father is?"

"He left a few weeks ago, please miss don't take us away from each other."

"You can stay together yeah?" She placed Y/N into a baby cot and set up the bed.

"Miss when can we go home?"

"Until we find some family of yours maybe?"

"I don't have any family. Just my sister." The lady sorted out the bed and left.

***

Y/N lay tossing and turning all night.

"No no. Mom please."  Y/N said in her sleep. She was hot, burning up.

"Miss Riddle," Madam Pomfrey checked her temperature.

"Mommy I'm sorry," Y/N's heart rate raised, and her body became full of heat. Professor Dumbledore entered the hospital wing and saw Y/N lying there all the colour drained from her face.

"Albus the girl has been like this all day," Madam Pomfrey told the headmaster concerned.

"I will call her brother in he must be able to help."  Y/N awoke with a jolt her face wet and body so hot it was is she was on fire.  She looked up and saw her Professor and Nurse.

"Professor, what's happening to me?" Y/N asked staring at Albus.
