- 15 -

"Mom..." I said softly as she gives me a hug

"The one and only." She said smiling at me

"Ahh yes, we decided to invite your parents. It was actually Matteo father's idea" Bellatrix said

I look over to see Voldemort smiling at me sending shivers down my spine. As I look at him Matteo walks over and put his hand on my lower back bringing me a bit of comfort at his touch.

Matteo let's out a hand "Hello, Mrs.Diggory. I'm Matteo Riddle, your daughter's boyfriend." He said politely with a smile

My mother looks him up and down with a judgmental look, before taking his hand "Nice to meet you" she said politely but it was clear that it was fake

"Shall we start dinner?" My dad asked with a smile trying to break the tension that you couldn't even cut with a knife

"Yes of course." I said with a smile trying to lighten the mood

We make are way over to the table. Voldemort sits in the middle, with bellatrix on his left side. Matteo sits next on his father right side and I sit next to him. My mother and father sitting next to bellatrix.

"Y/n actually help make dinner tonight." Matteo said squeezing my thigh a little.

"Hhm, making her do a 'women job' alright?" My mother said harshly

"What! No, no never. She insisted actually." Matteo said

"But I mean why is that such a crime a women job is in the kitchen." Voldemort said

"Well me and you have different beliefs for are families, I guess that mean that this isn't going to work out." My mother said trying to get up but my dad brings her back down

"Wait a minute let's give them a chance. So Matteo I heard that you play quidditch?" My dad asked changing the topic

"Yes, sir. Slytherin Quidditch captain." Matteo said proudly

"Yes, we are very proud of are son. And y/n I heard that you were top of your class in herbology?" Bellatrix asked

I smile at her "yes ma'am I've always just had a knick for plants."

"Ahh must just be a Hufflepuff thing." Voldemort said taking a sip of his drink

"What's that supposed to mean? I mean i married a Hufflepuff." My mother asked

"Yes I can tell." He said eyeing my father up and down

"Look I just don't want my son to marry a simple Hufflepuff." Voldemort finally said

My mother stands up "well I don't want my daughter to marry a slytherin none the less a riddle."

Voldemort stands up "How dare you! Your daughter should be grateful that my son even says a word to her."

"Look I don't see the big deal, I mean their both just kids." My dad says

"No, my son will marry a pure-blood slytherin." Voldemort yelled

"And if not?" My mother asked sassy

"Then a heir, of one of the houses. But not a simple Hufflepuff." Voldemort said

"Ha, my daughter is the heir of Hufflepuff so jokes on you!" My mother yells

"What..." I said confused

It finally hits my mom about what she said, she turns to me.

"I'm the heir of Hufflepuff?" I asked shocked, I said it as if I was trying to convince myself that it was true

"Sweetie I- we were going to tell you when you were ready." My mom said

I stand up and walk away to get some air

"Y/n!" Matteo yells

"Sweetie come back!" My mother said

I walk on to the balcony, taking a deep breath.

"You okay?" Matteo asked placing his hand on my lower back and the other grabbing my hand

"I just- I don't understand why they didn't tell me" I said, I wasn't angry that they didn't tell me. I just didn't understand why it was kept a secret

"They probably had a good reason"

"What's going on?" Me and Matteo turn around to the voice and there was Cedric

"You knew. Didn't you?" I asked him

"Knew? What" he looks over at Matteo

"Oh. So you know? Matteo mind giving us some space?" Cedric asked and Matteo nods

"Go right ahead" Matteo said leaving heading back inside

I look at my brother and turn around and lean against the balcony, he does the same

"So how did you find out?"

"Mom blurted it out, trying to stand up to the dark lord" I said

He chuckles "that's mom for you."

"Yeah...why?"

"Y/n it's more complicated then you think. There was a prophecy"

"A prophecy?" I question

"Yeah, every heir has a prophecy that was given and created from the original founders. Helena Ravenclaw, Matteo Riddle, Harry Potter and.....you. y/n Diggory. You guys are the heirs"

"Why me? Why not you?" I asked

"To be honest I've been trying to figure that out as well. The prophecy states that one of the two heir are meant to be. Bonded by hardship and suffering. In it they stated a adventure."

"That can't be right. Why does it have to be me? I don't want it!" I said frustrated

"Y/n it doesn't matter what you want! It follows you and I'm guessing that by tomorrow it will be everywhere all over the wizardry world" he said and turns to me

"I can't explain much because I'm still getting used to it myself but maybe if you let mom and dad talk to you. Then maybe you will understand. Now why don't we head back inside before mom grabs a knife and try to cut Voldemort head off" he said joking a bit

He comment made me laugh a bit "yeah, okay." I said I take a deep breath and we make are way back inside
