The Riddle Family

Chapter 7: Meeting Hadrian, Ariana, and Jenna Riddle

Bellatrix's POV:
Petunia looked at her watch and it is 11:30 in the morning everyone has arrived and we are giving Tom time to reconnect with his 3 kids that were finally found after 5 years. As we wait we talk about how our weeks have been. At 11:45 Petunia called out

"Tom, everyone is here." I heard some noise in the dining room. Tom walks into the living room with Hadrian, Ariana, and Jenna behind him. As Tom sits down Mattheo looks up at Hadrian then looks at Ariana and Jenna who are holding onto each of Hadrian's arms for dear life.

Mattheo runs across the room and wraps them into a hug. At first they stand frozen but then they hug him back. As they start to hug back Tom, Hayley, Cassie, Isobella, Alyssa, Victoria, and Sebastian join the hug glad to have Hadrian, Ariana, and Jenna back. As the hug ends and they all sit down Petunia looks towards Tom to see him about to cry from watching his kids stand in a group hug.

"What do you guys want to do first?" Petunia asks everyone. "How about we all reconnect with Hadrian, Ariana, and Jenna now that we have them back? Then we will have a family meeting to find out more on how they ended up here after 5 years of being missing and make plans on what we are gonna do to fix it." Tom suggested.

"That works for me." Petunia said. Petunia looked at Hadrian to see if they were comfortable with that and he looked at the girls and they nodded.

"Okay let's start with that. All adults with me in the kitchen for a minute and kids stay here and do whatever until we come back in." Petunia said. I'm very confused with this request from Petunia for all us adults to go to the kitchen because she had a calculated look on her face like she was worried about something, but we all got up and went to the kitchen.

Hadrian's POV:
After an unexpected group hug we all sat down. I sat with Mattheo on left side and Alyssa on my right side with Ariana and Jenna on my lap because they won't let go of my arms that the clung to which I can't and don't blame them because this is very weird and new and they are only 6 so none of this makes much since for them so they are sticking to what they know, me.

Tom, Hayley, Cassie, Isobella, Victoria, and Sebastian sat around Ariana, Jenna, and I like we were gonna disappear on them again and again I can't and don't blame them because they haven't seen us in 5 years but I promised Ariana, Jenna, and myself that we aren't going anywhere and we will make the people who stole us pay for making our family hurt.

"What do you guys want to do first?" Aunt Petunia asks everyone. "How about we all reconnect with Hadrian, Ariana, and Jenna now that we have them back? Then we will have a family meeting to find out more on how they ended up here after 5 years of being missing and make plans on what we are gonna do to fix it." Dad suggested.

"That works for me." Aunt Petunia said. Aunt Petunia looked at me to see if the twins and I were comfortable with that and I looked at the girls and they nodded. So I nodded at her. "Okay let's start with that. All adults with me in the kitchen for a minute and kids stay here and do whatever until we come back in." Aunt Petunia said.

I already know what she is gonna talk to them about. That the twins and I are traumatized and she isn't wrong we are but she didn't push us to talk about it. But I know we have to tell them otherwise no plans can be truly made to work out. After they entered the kitchen everyone turned to me with a questioning look.

"Why did she want all the adults in the kitchen?" One boy who I haven't gotten a name for asked. He looked my age and had blonde hair and grayish-blue eyes. "My gut is telling me that she is gonna tell them to be careful on how to approach things with us 3 because "we are traumatized" as she put it." I responded to his question and then asked "What are the names for all of you?" The blonde boy answered "I'm Draco."
