The Riddle of Tom\'s Family

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the Fountaine Family. God I wish I could own Severus Snape and in all the other chapters I will still own nothing. If you have seen it before or read it before, I don’t own it.

Tales to be told

Draco and Blaise needed to talk with Severus and were able to let him know with just a look. Severus did not want to leave his mate. However, there was much to be done before he could claim her as his own. He had about three days before he would lose his mind.


“Will you excuse me” Severus said to the people at the head table “I have some matters which I need to attend to, Albus, may I meet with you in your office in about half an hour” “Yes” said Albus. Severus rose and looked at the two young men from his house and left after taking a last longing look at his beautiful Sara.

Draco and Blaise got up and followed him to his office. Once in his office, Severus cast a silencing spell. “What do you two need to talk about?” he asked. “We have both found our mates and are having problems with our veela side. Please can you talk with Dumbledore. We will have to bond with our mates soon.” said Draco.

Severus smiled at them, his godsons and said “I have found my mate with the Fountaine family, Sara the oldest. Which girls are yours?” Draco said “Amberlyn” and Blaise said “Desiree” Severus said “I will speak to Albus for you and then I will speak with your parents tonight.” With that they all left the office.


Draco and Blaise made their way back to the slytherin common room and their lady loves. Severus made his way to the headmaster’s office. “Come in, Severus” said Albus “What can I do for you?” “A lot” said Severus “First, it seems that three of your grandchildren have veela mates, me, Draco, and Blaise with Sara, Amberlyn, and Desiree.”

“I will talk with them” said Albus “All of you are fine young men and you know you are like a son to me” Severus breathed deeply and said “I also need to meet with the parents of my slytherins and let the Dark Lord know about his grandchildren per our plan”

“Go do what you need to do and I will talk to the girls and have Sara waiting for you when you get back” said Albus “Wonderful” said Severus walking over to the fireplace. “Malfoy Manor” he called when he threw in the floo powder. He then stuck in his head.

At Malfoy Manor, Lucius Malfoy was sitting in his office when he heard Severus call out to him. “Severus” said Lucius “what’s wrong?” Severus answered “Can I come over?” “Yes” said Lucius moving back to let him step through. Unknown to everyone except Albus and very close family, Lucius Malfoy was also a spy. The whole riddle diary was an accident caused by a young stupid Draco not knowing any better. Causing Lucius to have to send his favorite and most loyal house elf, Dobby, to protect Harry Potter. They had tricked Harry into setting Dobby free so Dobby could stay and watch over the school.


“We need to talk privately” said Severus “and get Will and Chris here as well” Malfoy sent an elf to have the two men join them. “Severus, this must be serious” said Lucius while they were waiting for the others. Lord William Tavington, Lucius first cousin and only son of his Aunt Melissa Malfoy Tavington stepped through the fireplace. He looked a lot like his cousin, but had black hair and dark blue eyes. In the next few moments, Lord Christopher Brandon stepped through, he looked very much like his cousin Severus, however he had light brown hair and warm hazel eyes.

Unlike Lucius and Severus, Will and Chris were not death eaters. However, they did help with the order, but made sure they appeared neutral. “Now that we are all here, we have a lot to discuss” said Severus “First, Sarah Windom Riddle has come home to Hogwarts, she has brought with her two daughters with husbands and 18 grandchildren. She also does not have the mark that the Dark Lord told us about.” he looked at the shocked faces and continued “four of the grandchildren are married and will only stay two weeks before going home with their parents.

The five oldest girls will be staying along with Sarah Riddle and the nine youngest will be staying and will be 7th year students next year. One is my mate and Draco and Blaise have also found their mates among the family” Lucius’ head snapped up at this news about his son and nephew “Tell me about them” he said. “They are beautiful, smart, and come from the most powerful pureblood family in America” said Severus.

Lucius believed that muggleborns should be treated well, but truly wanted his son to marry a pureblood. “The Fountaines?” he asked. “Yes, have you met them?” Severus asked. Lucius smiled and said “Yes at the wizard conference last year, but I did not speak with the children. I only saw them” he turned to Will and Chris and said “You should visit Hogwarts and take a look. If three of our veela line found mates in this family you may find yours as well.”


Severus cleared his throat and said “Now that we have discussed the good, let’s talk about the problems. Albus had Gregory Goyle and Pansy Parkinson come to him and tell him they do not want to become death eaters. Of course, you know that Draco and Blaise supported them. Draco said that Nott, Crabbe, Bulstrode are not to be trusted. They are not sure about Avery’s kid. If they knew Goyle and Parkinson would kill their children.

We also have to tell the Dark Lord about his grandchildren and get Goyle and Parkinson’s fathers to let them stay at Hogwarts over the summer.” “I am his second, let me go talk with him and I will ask him to have the children stay over the summer. I assume that the golden trio will be staying” “Yes” said Severus “five of his grandchildren are Gryffindors, and the rest are Slytherins”

Lucius looked very concerned “Please tell me my son is not in love with a Gryffindor. “ Severus smiled and said “Both Draco and Blaise’s mates are in Slytherin. Will and Chris, if you will come next week after school is out and stay awhile, you may find your mate as well” Lucius said “Well, I guess I need to go talk to the boss”


All the men left. Lucius apperated to the Riddle Manor and asked Peter to see the Dark Lord and was announced “You have news for me, Lucius” said the dark lord. Lucius bowed and said “Yes, my lord, big news. Severus just left my house, he came as soon as he found out and could get away from the old man. Sarah has come home to Hogwarts and she brought your family with her”

The dark lord was still for several minutes then said “Tell me about them, I want to know everything” Lucius sighed “I don’t know everything yet, but I will tell you what I know. Severus said you have twin daughters and both were married to the sons of Minister Fountaine, together your daughters have 18 children. Four are married. The Fountaines are the wealthiest and most powerful family in America where they were hiding. Your wife has no mark on her that you told us to look for so it appears that she never took another lover.” The dark lord smiled his sick smile and said “Then I guess I will let her live”

Lucius said “Most of your grandchildren are staying a Hogwarts over the summer and nine will attend Hogwarts next year. Sadly, five were sorted into Gryffindor, no doubt a hold over from your wife’s side of the family and four were sorted into Slytherin, all well be in the 7th year. Draco is watching over them and will keep them safe. He has already befriended the four in his house.

Severus said the golden trio will be staying over the summer and he wants four of his Slytherins to stay with them over the summer as well. Draco and my nephew Blaise are staying. Severus also wants Parkinson’s girl and Goyle’s boy to stay as well.” “Have them stay at the school and tell their parents it’s my orders and get me more information on my family. Tell Severus I am pleased.” said the dark lord. Lucius bowed and left for home.


After Severus left, Albus sent a house elf to call Matilda and Jason to his office with Sara, Amberlyn, and Desiree. “Come in, children” said Albus when he heard a knock “ Please sit down. Would you like a lemon drop?” “No, thank you grandfather” they all said. Jason asked “What did you need to see just us about?” Albus smiled and said “I have three veela at my school and they have found their mates among your children, these three to be exact.”

Sara looked up and said “Severus Snape is my mate. I knew when I met him that we were meant to be together.” Amberlyn and Desiree nodded their heads, they also knew their mates. Albus was pleased “I will tell you that I trust these men and have respect for them and Severus I would trust with my life.” Jason was not upset, he said “I’m not afraid for my girls, a veela will give his life to protect his mate and will do anything in their power to make them happy.


If the girls agree, I will allow them to marry. Of course, Sara does not need permission to marry. But, I give my blessing” Albus asked “What do you girls feel about this?” Sara smiled and said “When can we marry?” The other two girls laughed and said “Yes, when?”

Authors note: In this chapter I used two characters from other movies: Colonial Christopher Brandon from the movie Sense and Sensibility, my favorite Alan Rickman character as Severus’ cousin Lord Christopher Brandon (I just love this character) The other character is Colonial William Tavington from the movie, The Patriot. This is one of my favorite Jason Isaacs characters, perfect for Lucius Malfoy’s cousin, Lord William Tavington. I don’t own these characters either. Sad to say. They will be in future chapters and I still won‘t own them. As I write my story the sixth book came out. I will not judge Severus Snape until the seventh book comes out and maybe not even then. I have always loved any character played by Alan Rickman, even the bad guys. It broke my heart when Hans fell out of the window. I wanted him to get away with the money. Well as far as the sixth book goes, it will not change my story as this is my story and JK Rowling is the only one that must stick with the original story. The rest of us are free to twist and turn the story as we like. I would also like to thank Superchick116 for her help with this story. She is my sounding board and my idea man.
