Queen of Slytherin

CHAPTER 4

(A. N. Hey!!!! I'm back and I'm feeling better! Thought I'd update even though it's a shorter chapter...
Quick question... Do I leave Dmitry Grindelwald or do I switch it with Sirius Black? Since Sirius Black is only the Magical Guardian of Roselia and not her Blood-Adopted Parent. I could also add in Regulus... I've fallen in love with Ben Barnes and Timothee Chalamet! 😍😍😍😍😍 I would probably de-age them too. Comment after you read this chapter because you'll understand why I'll de-age him then!)

(A. N. This is the bedroom Roselia was staying in.)

I woke up to my room in Malfoy Manor. Everything ached so much from my head to my toes and then some. I slowly extracted myself from the emerald green duvet and wore the fluffy bunny slippers beside the bed.
Shuffling to the black door, I creaked it open and came face to face with a boy around my age. Dark hair fanning over his greyish green eyes, sharp striking features and an indifferent expression. Well, indifferent until I looked straight into his eyes and his mouth opened slightly to as if to gasp. I wasn't much better since I looked down at my glowing wrist to see a name inscribed on it.

T. M. R.

I was almost a hundred percent sure that T. M. R. stands for Tom Marvolo Riddle. A. K. A. The man who supposedly murdered my parents. But did he, really? I mean, Dumblewhore isn't the good guy here so maybe Tom is good?

"Hello." I greeted, giving him a shy smile. His eyes widened slightly before settling on a scowl making my heart squeeze a little with pain. It looked like he was about to reject me so when he opened his mouth to speak, I squeezed my eyes shut.

"What's your name?" He asked and my eyes popped open in shock. Wasn't he going to reject me? No matter how confident I was in my past life, this life's hardships made me feel unwanted.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" He asked, his eyes guarded.

"I thought that you were going to reject me." I answered and his eyebrows furrowed even more. Was the scowl a look of confusion and not annoyance?

"Why would I reject you?" He asked again.

"Because everyone does? Well, at least before I met Cissy and Luci." I said, and his eyes darkened slightly before looking at me with downturned lips. Did I do something wrong? Did he hate me? I tried not to fall into self depreciating thoughts but it was too difficult. It was like a whirlpool, pulling me and dragging me without my consent.

"You haven't answered my question yet." He chided and my eyes snapped back to his. His question was... Ah! Right!

"I've just found out that my name was Roselia Lily Potter. My Aunt and Uncle called me very different things." I said before it turned to muttering when I thought of the Dursleys.

"My name is Tom Marvolo Riddle but I go by Thomas Matteo Riddle now." He said and my eyes widened slightly. Not because of his name but the fact that he was talking to me. I thought that for sure he would reject me. But he didn't...

"Are you hungry?" He asked and I nodded. He grabbed my hand before tugging me towards the hallway which stretched on for a while and looked almost endless.

Tom's POV

She wasn't afraid of me even though I'm sure that she recognised me. I had heard that the child Dumbledore wanted to raise to be his champion was here but I had never thought that she would have been my soulmate. Now there were plans that needed to be changed.

When Dumbledore had imperioed me that night on Halloween, I had tried to fight against it but he was a powerful wizard for a reason. I had fought especially when he tried to make me kill the baby girl that laid in her cot and I had merely looked into those Avada eyes and I knew that I would have to fight it as much as possible. I didn't understand why it happened the way it did, but now I do. If soulmates meet and one of them is older, usually, they would revert to the same age as the younger soulmate. The reason why we didn't realize it was because of the block Dumbledore placed on her before I arrived.

The killing curse backfired and left me as a wraith. Peter and Severus were able to bring me back only for my adult body to transform into a baby's body. I was registered as Tom Marvolo Riddle's only heir and he still hasn't figured it out. I was either lucky or his age had gotten to him. I believe that it was both.

I knew that now, Roselia should be my main priority and I accepted that as soon as her name had appeared on my wrist.

She was mine and I won't let anyone touch what's mine.

Roselia's POV

He asked me questions about what kinds of foods and that I like.

"I don't really have a preference food-wise but I like the colours jade green and black." I told him and he gave me a small smile which made my heart skip a beat.

Tom finally stopped in front of another pair of black doors. I would have gotten lost in this house if I was left alone, everything looked the same.

(A. N. So... Sirius Black and Regulus? Please say yes bcs look at them? He's the handsomest playboy that ever lived and he'll have a bit of a psychotic streak in him. Not to mention the awe inspiring Regulus Black?)
