The Pure Heir

The Two Heirs

"Granddaughter where are you? This surly young man is trying to take me!" Salazar shouted for me.

"I've already introduced myself to you! I'm your grandson." Tom strained through gritted teeth.

"Codswallop. Look at you and look at me. I'm not the most comely of men am I? Yet you are. Thus we aren't related." Salazar declared.

"Are you saying that I've the face of swine?" I asked approaching the portrait.

"Never my favorite grandchild. You've the face of angels that clearly came from the Dobreva genes or your mum." Salazar stated with his nose in the air.

"Oh and my looks couldn't have come from the Riddle family?" Tom asked with his brow arched.

Salazar decided to not dignify Tom with an answer so I simply shrunk his portrait and put it in my charmed bag.

"Are we ready children?" Narcissa asked in her gentle voice.

Various voices sounded off that we were ready and so my father along with Narcissa used a portkey to arrive on 9 3/4 platform. All chatter appeared to stop when we arrived before starting back up in hushed tones as all eyes watched us.

"Well, this is lovely. I look forward to being gawked at like the boy who lived." I said with a roll of my eyes.

"Rude." Came a voice.

I turned around and saw Harry with the Weasley family along with the Black brothers and Moony.

"Oh dear come here." Molly said before wrapping me in a tight but warm hug.

I wanted to hate it and hate her but it felt like home. Like my mum. And to my complete and utter horror the wall around my heart cracked until it shattered and I began to sob. Worst. Timing.

"Merlin you've done it. We've all been waiting like a ticking time bomb for her to finally acknowledge her mother's death. She's just been in this numb state." My father said.

I pulled myself from Molly's bear like strength and threw myself at my dad.

"Take me home daddy. I'm not needed here anymore. Tom will fix it all. We've all we've got left. I'll stay with you and home school. Please daddy. I don't like it here. You know I never wanted to come. Please. What if something happens to you? I can't lose you too." I said as I continued to cry.

While I was losing it Tom had my six and was watching to see who enjoyed my sorrow. He was silently remembering them and marking them. The twins were automatically doing the same while Reggie was trying to get to me but my dad's warning glare had him staying back.

"Sweetheart I'd love nothing more but this is your school now. You have a life here. A squad of support. Wouldn't you miss them? Ginny? Pansy? Daphne and Astoria? Tracey? Millie? I can't promise they won't try again but darling they know now that we're aligned with powerful families who will help and be their downfall just like on the first attempt. And they no longer have that element of surprise because now we're expecting them which makes their success that was already 0 into less." Kamen said, and yes he did intentionally leave out all the male interests whether former interests or not.

"And honestly cousin your part isn't done. I need a moral compass and that's your part for me. You can't abandon me. Just as I'll have your back I expect you to have mine." Tom stated.
