Merope Riddle Jr

Chapter Four

Author note:
I'd like to thank @Carlislelover400 for helping me get out of the writer's block I've been stuck in for so long and I've started writing more and I hope this continues.

Tom Riddle's P.O.V
July 31th 1980
"Tom, they're coming for us, Dumbledore and the Order." a woman with beautiful flowing chestnut hair appeared from the hall, I sat up immediately, and crossed the large room to where she stood.
"What? How, we covered our tracks so well!" I was livid, for the past year, Dumbledore and his band of headless chicken have been stalking Penelope and I, as well as our son Cadmus Corvinus. We used glamour and fidelius charms, we never stayed in one place for more than 2 weeks, from the manors of wealthy purebloods to shacks in muggle villages, but it seems it was all for nothing. I opened my mouth to speak as a large crack was heard all through out Malfoy Manor. It was the wards falling.

They had found us.

I looked at Penelope, my wife, and at our son, he was so beautiful, he had dark brown wavy hair, and his eyes, they were two colours, his left a piercing grey, but his right a killing curse green. This is not how I would loose him. "Penelope, take Cadmus to the nursery, and use the secret passage to the dungeons."
"Okay Tom," she said her eyes glistening with tears, "but if I never get to see you again, I want you to know I love you." "I love you too Penelope Freadmire-Riddle." I watched as she carried my son away to what I thought was safety. Little did I know that was the last time I would see my son.

Penelope's P.O.V
I ran as fast as I could to the nursery, but when I got there it was too late, Dumbledore and two of his fire chickens stood by Cadmus' cradle with their wands drawn.
"Give up, Freadmire, it's over. You will never win," Dumbledore said with glee,"the light will always conquer the dark."
I laughed, "first of all it Freadmire-Riddle," I watch as the colour drains from his face, "and second, if the light always wins, then prepare to loose."
"What are you talking about you slimy Slytherin scum. Of course WE are going to win, WE are the light." the red head woman on Dumbledore's left said haughtily.
"Now, now Lily," the man with bird's nest like hair and glasses said patronizingly, "She's just a deranged woman, she doesn't know what she's talking about."
Then I couldn't take any more "Oh really? I'll have you know I was a Gryffindor, Head Girl and champion Seeker from 1929-1934, Lily. And as a matter of fact, the only deranged woman here is you."
And with that remark nest-head sent a curse flying at me. "CRUCIO!" and I started screaming. The pain was unbearable, but my attention turned towards my son, he was not only crying, but screaming and he had his first bout of accidental magic. All three people were slammed against the wall. Dumbledore was the first to his feet, "Get the BOY!" he shouted. Nest-head ran towards me and wrestled Cadmus out of my grip.
"CADMUS! NO!" but it was too late, they had gone, and with them my son.
