The Riddle, the Lestrange, and the Bethrothal

The Truth

Elizabeth/Elara Pov-

          I woke up on my 16th birthday and quickly got changed to go enjoy the pancakes that we always eat on my birthday. My parents are both sitting sadly at the table, no pancakes to be seen. They notice my presents in the room and my Dad asks me to sit down."Sweetheart,we have something to tell you. You're adopted, and your biological parents are coming to pick you up in an hour,you should probably pack." I nod at my 'father' before going back upstairs. I pull out my trunk and pack it full of objects I couldn't live without,or are irreplaceable,like the golden snitch that I caught during my first quidditch game; my friend had it engraved for me and gave it as a gift before she moved and transferred to Beabaxtons. Once I finish packing I just sit on my bed and stare around the room where I spent the first sixteen years of my life. I hear the doorbell ring and the door open and close so I take a few moments to breathe. My adoptive mother yells at me to come down, I slowly make my way down the stairs and notice the two other adults in the room. I sit on the couch with my adoptive parents and the two others sit down across from us. "Hello sweetheart, my name is Rodulphus Lestrange, and this is my wife Bellatrix,we're your biological parents. You were taken by the order of the Pheonix when you were just a baby,we can explain more later. Will you come with us?" I nod my head "you grab your stuff" I walk upstairs and grab onto collect my trunk before coming back down the stairs. I hug my adoptive parent one last time before my father grabs onto my shoulder,and I am pulled into the familiar sense of apparition.We arrive at the gate of a Manor.

My mother drags me inside and upstairs to a room with a golden nameplate reading "Elara Bella Lestrange"I look up to my mother "Who is Elara?" "That's your actual name dear,why don't you go inside and explore. I'll come back and me and your father will explain more." She leaves the room and I explore my new room. It has a very airy feel about it which is refreshing, the floor is white tile,with a rug near the bed.  The stairs lead up to a loft which houses multiple built in racks full of clothes, and the door to my restroom.

Meanwhile

Noah/ Liam Pov-

My parents call me downstairs saying that "We needed ot talk." The three of us sit at the table,both of them have a sad smile." Liam, we have to tell you something, you're adopted and your biological parents are going to come and pick you up in about 45 minutes. They said you should only pack the things you couldn't live without." I just nod and walk to my bedroom, pulling my trunk out from underneath the bed. I toss in all of my essentials and the objects that are irreplaceable. I hear the door open and close and talking. My adoptive mother calls me into the lounge and I enter to find a woman with brown hair talking to my adoptive father. The woman smiles at me, "hello my name is Evangeline Riddle, I'm your biological mother. Your father got caught in a meeting so he said to said his apologies for not being able to come." "Why don't we sit down and talk." my adoptive father says and we all sit down on the couches in the living room. "So, can you tell me about myself?" She smiles at me,  "Well, your full name is Noah Thomas Riddle, you were born on August 8th, you're a pure- blood,and you are an only child. Also that when you were a few weeks old Albus Dumbledore kidnapped you and put you with a muggle couple. Luckily we were able to find you 17 years later." After talking for a while I grab my trunk and share a hug with my adoptive parents one last time, my mother (biological) grabs onto my shoulder and apparates us to the front of a manor.

She walks to the front door and opens it as I follow close behind as we step into the foyer. She calls out the name "Callie!" a little house elf appears "Mistriss called Callie"  my mother smiled at the elf "Callie, this is my son Noah, please take the trunk up to his room."  "Of course mistriss"the elf bows and grabs the trunk before dissapearing with a pop. My mother turns to me, "your father should be home from the meeting, lets go meet him." I follow behind her as she walks down the hall and knocks on the door until being told to "Come in!" She opens the door, "Tom, he's here." the man sitting at the desk looks up and stares me down before getting up and putting his hand on my shoulder. "Let's undo that stupid glamour charm" is all he said before tapping my head with his wand. There is a tingling feeling coming over my body as my mother stares at me in shock "He looks like a young you Tom." After talking to my father he has to go back to work and so my mother leads me to my bedroom, leaving me to settle in.
