Chapter 1

She fitted into her dark green party dress smoothly without any problems as the house elf, Winnie brung her all of her jewellery and makeup for the night.

'Miss Black you look beautiful as always I heard the party has started so I think you may need to get going' she bowed her head and got a pat on it by Hecate , 'You are right Winnie I need to get going before mother has my head thank you dear friend' she smiled before leaving the room to see her father waiting on her.

'My dear you look like a real princess in that outfit I'm sure that all those men out there won't stop looking at you' he smiled and Hecate took her fathers arm, 'I must say the decorations and food I saw before I started to get ready for it' she complemented her mothers decorating skills and her father chuckled, 'Hecate you are just like your grandmother very polite it's a wonder where you got it from when your mother has no patience for anyone'.

She was really close with her father and if she best he would find a man to treat her like a true Queen, 'it really is a surprise when Regulus acts so much like you and Sirius is like mother when he gets fussy' she commented what made her father laugh, 'so true'.

They got to the balcony overseeing the party when she saw her mother talking to a handsome looking man with dark brown hair and a dark aura about him making every woman at the party stare at him, 'Father who is that man?' She looked up at the older man who had went very pale and muttered something under his breath before responding to her, 'No one dear' and took her down to talk with her mother.

'Oh my Orion Hecate get over here to say hello to Mr Riddle like a decent person!' She sassed them and Father apologised to the devilishly handsome man, 'I'm so sorry sir I must have not known that you would be here tonight, right Walburga?' Hecate was till confused until her mother announced, 'You said we wouldn't let him come to dinner not to the party now we must allow him to talk with our little princess before the big announcement later shall we dear' but father looked at the man before nodding his head and leaving her with Mr Riddle.

'You must be the Princess of the noble house of black I hear so much about I'm Tom Riddle I went to school with your mother and father but he was only a year older than me and her' he smiled at her and kissed the top of her hand, 'I'm delighted that mother and father thought it was good for me to speak to the Tom Riddle who saved the school from the monster and had straight O's in the owls and perfect marks in all things he did' she complemented the man.

'Well I wouldn't call myself a hero like most people describe me as but I'd call myself the most powerful wizard in the century' he called himself and used windless magic to give him and Hecate a glass of fire whiskey and apple juice, 'well sir no matter what your an icon at the school' she praised him what made him give her a tiny smile.

'Now I don't know how you turned out so nice with your mother and father being Walburga and Orion Black but they did a good job with you' he laughed but before she could say anything her mother grabbed a glass cub and tapped it with her spoon, 'Thank you for coming to our party but sadly there will be no need for it anymore as I have arranged her a marriage with the dark lord himself!' She announced and everyone went silent for a minute and then started to clap and cheer in joy.

Hecate looked over to her father and brothers who stood beside mother and their faces where shocked and pale white.

That was one way to announce to your own family that you went behind their backs and arranged a marriage with a man who was 20 years older than your own daughter Hecate thought before leaving the party with a full bottle of fire whiskey.
