Black And The Riddle (The Mauranders Era)

"My name is Regina Valentina Riddle. My father, Tom Riddle, could not love, however; my mother helped him understand it. Her name was Benigna D'amore. Her name fit her perfectly, she was very kind and very loving. That is how my father came to care for her. When they first met my mother told me she could see how lost he was in his eyes and offered to help find his way. They went on 'dates' where my mother explained feelings to him and on one of these days she explained love. She explained it as someone who was willing to die for the person they loved, someone who was willing to sacrifice everything for a particular person. My father then looked at her and said, " well then I love you" After that, they got married and had me. They had trouble figuring out what to name me, mother defiantly wanted to incorporate her Italian roots and father wanted to show in one of the names that I was a queen and the other that I was powerful so they decided on Regina, for a queen, and Valentina, for powerful. My life was wonderful but when I turned ten something dreadful happened....."
