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.


To catch a rat

Anissa awoke to find a large, ugly man holding her down and touching her while trying to kiss her. She pulled away and screamed. She was fighting him off when three men appeared in the room. He was blasted off her with spells from three wands hitting him in the chest causing him to hit the wall with a heavy thud, knocking him out.

Harry busted through the door, saw Peter was taken care of and crossed the room to Anissa. She was crying and threw herself into his arms. Peter started to yell when he came to “James” he said “I hate you, I hate you. You have taken my Lily from me again. She is mine. The master promised me that she would be mine.”

Harry looked at him with horror. He had caused the death of his parents because he wanted his mother for himself. Yes, Anissa had auburn hair and green eyes. But, she did not look like Lily Potter. She was about four inches shorter than Lily, who was quite tall and she had a darker shade of hair and forest green eyes with gold flecks and her face was different.

Melody and Sara had come up. Remus was on the verge of killing Peter. “Please don’t kill him Remus” Melody begged. He looked up at her and said “But, he killed Harry’s parents and took away Sirius’ life. He took my family, Melody, my family.” “Please” she begged “I am your family too. I just found you my love, don’t throw away us for him! Take him to the ministry and clear the name of your brother. But, please don’t leave me!”

Everyone agreed that Peter should be turned over to the ministry to clear the memory of Sirius Black, so that he would not be known for all time as a murderer. The aurors were called along with Fudge and Peter was taken to Azkaban and given the kiss and Sirius Black’s name was cleared.

Jason asked Severus to talk to Pansy with him “Devon, came to me and asked me to help get Pansy away from her father. Devon said he beats her and Devon was planning to go after him.” Jason told him “But, I offered a marriage contract to Mr. Parkinson and paid $10,000 gold galleons for her” Severus hissed “You bought one of my children?”

Jason sighed and said “Don’t think the worst, read the contract and you will see what we did” Severus read the contract and found that the contact gave Pansy the right to refuse the contract and also stated that if the marriage took place that it would be a marriage of equals. The Fountaines had also taken charge of Pansy until she did marry or come of age. “This is a wonderful thing” said Severus.

They called Pansy and Devon in and explained everything for her about the contract. “You did this for me?” she cried “I don’t have to go back ever?” “No, you don’t have to go back. Your father sent all your things.” Jason said “They have been placed in your room at our home in England”

Pansy looked at Devon and said “You didn’t require me to marry you. Why?” Devon smiled and said “I love you and I would love to marry you. But, I wanted you to have a choice. Marriage is forever and you need to decide who you want to spend forever with. Not someone else for reasons all their own.”


Severus was sitting there taking in the happy sight when is mark began to burn. Bloody hell, he thought, what does he want now. When he got to the Dark Lord he saw Lucius already there. He knelt and kissed the hem of the dark lord’s robes. “How may I serve you my lord?” asked Severus. “I want you and Lucius to bring me Sarah Riddle and you can also bring your Sara, Severus. If you don’t do this, Lucius, you dear Narcissa will be punished in your place.” hissed the dark lord.

Lucius’ head shot up, his beloved Narcissa. No, he would die before this monster touched his wife. “Yes, my lord” said Severus as he pulled Lucius from the room. Lucius was very shaken, very unusual for him. However, he really had no idea how powerful the Fountaines were, but Severus knew and his Sara was the most powerful of the children.


After they apperated to Malfoy manor, Severus told Lucius to bring Narcissa to Hogwarts with them.. When they got back to the school, Narcissa went to find Draco and Lucius and Severus went to talk with Sarah Riddle and Albus. Sara Snape also came along. “Yes, we will do it” said Sara Snape “it is time. I will be ready in half an hour.”

She left to find her siblings and to talk with Hermione about what could happen and then she spoke with the Slytherins “I have given instructions to Hermione Granger, please for all our sakes follow her directions if something happens. All of you will wait for us in the great hall. Narcissa, please make sure everyone follows the directions I left or one of us may die this day”

She left to find Severus and go to meet Tome Riddle. The four of them walked out of the castle. Severus took his wife in his arms as Lucius took Sarah Riddle in his. Both pairs apperated to the dark lord. “Hello Sarah” the dark lord hissed, “so nice to see you again.” Sarah Riddle looked shocked at this thing, what had he done, she could see nothing of her Tom is this creature. ”Tom?” she asked “Is that you?”

He become angry and hissed at her “You will address me as my lord, not Tom and you shall be known as Lady Voldemort” She was very upset and yelled at him “My name is Sarah Riddle and my husband was Tom Riddle. I love Tom Riddle and you are not him. My Tom would not spend his life trying to kill a child”

Severus prayed, please shut up woman, you are going to get yourself killed. Sara Snape stepped forward and put her arm around her grandmother. “Please calm down.” she said. However, Tom would have nothing to do with that. “Severus” he hissed, “pull your wife out of our fight before she gets punished”

Severus pulled his Sara back with him as Sarah turned on her husband. “How dare you threaten one of our grandchildren” she hissed. The dark lord had enough “Crucio” he yelled as he pointed his wand at her. Sarah Riddle fell to the floor screaming.

Then something happened, the dark lords eyes changed back to his original color and he fell to the floor. Lucius and Severus looked on in horror as the form of Voldemort started to divide and become two forms half formed. An older version of Tom Riddle was trying to get away from a demon snake form. “Sarah” Tom cried “Sarah, please be okay. Please don’t die.”

The demon started to fight with Tom to pull him back, but Tom fought with every thing he had to get to Sarah. Severus and Lucius drew their wand to combat the demon when they realized that this was the real Lord Voldemort.

Severus glanced at his Sara to make sure she was alright and saw that she was glowing and chanting a spell in a language he had never heard and then she spread her arms wide and called out “From Fountaine to Fountaine, Blood bonds us all, Born to twins and twins, Our power grows and grows, To fight the darkness with light, I invoke the power of Merlin.” There was a blinding light and out of that light stepped the great wizard Merlin. When he stepped through, Sara Snape fell to the floor unconscious.

Merlin stepped between the two wizards and the demon and began to battle with the dark creature. Lucius stepped over to Tom and Sarah Riddle. Tom was holding Sarah in his arms stroking her hair. He said “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry that he hurt you. I tried to stop him.” Lucius said “Tom, how long has he had control of you?” Tom looked sad and said “Since, I was sixteen, but he did not have full control for several years.”

Meanwhile, Merlin had defeated the demon, who was bowing before him. Severus was holding Sara when he raised his wand and called for the order. Dumbledore and several members of the order showed up ready to sort things out. Severus asked “Where is everybody?” and then explained what was happening. “All hell broke loose back at Hogwarts” said Albus “And all my grandchildren fell out on the floor.”

Back at Hogwarts all hell had indeed broken out. All the Fountaines were checked and it was found one was dead. “NO!!” screamed Draco “Oh Merlin, please, NO! NO! don’t leave me!” Draco pulled the dead Amberlyn to him. Holding and rocking her while Narcissa cried. “Are all the others okay?” yelled Madam Pomfrey as she ran toward Amberlyn. “Yes” yelled everyone. Draco was openly weeping, holding his beloved wife and wanting to die with her. “Oh, my” said Pomfrey “I’m sorry, there’s nothing I can do.”

Hermione stepped forward “ Please Draco, let me help her” “How?” asked Draco “She’s dead” “Not yet” said Hermione “You have to help me breathe for her. Lay her flat.” She slapped the unmoving Draco. “Now, we don’t have much time. Tilt her head back like that, now pinch her nose, cover her mouth completely with yours and blow as hard as you can into her mouth every time I say.” While she was explaining this, she was doing heart compressions. “Now” she said. Draco his cheek stinging did as he was told. This went on for several minutes and Hermione was getting tired “Everyone.” she said “Touch her legs and pass power to her.”

After a few more minutes, Amber stated to cough and opened her eyes. Madam Pomfrey came forward and was able to help her with a pepper up potion. Hermione leaned back against the bench, drained. Draco was hold his wife, tears flowing freely down his cheek. His face buried in her hair “I thought I had lost you” he cried over and over mixed with several “I love you”

Narcissa came forward and put her arm around them both. “I don’t know what you did” she said looking at Hermione “but, thank you, the Malfoy family is in your debt.” Draco looked into Hermione’s eyes and said “Thank you, Hermione. Words cannot tell you how grateful I am to you. You saved two lives today. I owe you my life.”

Pansy, Blaise, and Gregory also expressed their thanks and told Hermione that she would have their protection always. Draco looked at the sleeping woman in his arms, the love of his life saved from death by muggle knowledge and said “Hermione Granger, would you do me the great honor of accepting my friendship and loyalty” She looked at him with eyes filled with tears and said “Yes, let’s you and me bring our two great houses together”

Madam Pomfrey had given each of the Fountaines a dose of pepper up potion. They were all awake, but still very weak. “We need to get them to the infirmary. Draco picked up his wife and held her close. Blaise and Greg picked up Desiree and Candy. Pansy levitated Devon with her wand and floated him to the infirmary. Hermione and Ginny did the same with Eric and Derrick while Ron, Harry, and Neville picked up Ariel, Anissa, and Amy.

They all found their way up to the infirmary. Chris, Will, and Remus all picked up their wives and brought them along. The rest of the men picked up their wives. All the men were upset thinking of what had happened to Amber and Draco. All thinking of what they could have lost.

Back at Riddle Manor, Severus was still trying to wake Sara, but she was out of it. Albus came up and told Severus to send Sara back with Lucius. Albus spoke with Lucius “Amber was not breathing when I left and Draco was in a bad way” Albus had tears running down his face “here is a portkey to take both ladies to the infirmary. I’m sure Draco needs you now. I will stay here and sort all this out.”

Lucius walked over to Severus, who was holding Sara, she was still not awake, but seemed okay. “Severus, Amber quit breathing and I have to go, Draco will need me. Can I take Sara to Poppy?” said Lucius.

Severus looked down at Sara and said “Yes, she needs help, I can’t wake her” Lucius lifted Sara into his arms and carried her to Albus and Tom. Sarah Riddle was in bad shape and Tom was holding her. “May I take her to the infirmary at Hogwarts? She needs help” said Lucius. Tom agreed and Lucius put his arm around both women and used the portkey.

“Lucius” cried Narcissa. “Amber, is she okay?” asked Lucius. “Yes, she’s fine. She was saved by Hermione Granger using a muggle method called CPR.” Both Sarah and Sara were moved to beds and given treatment. Hermione came over to Lucius Malfoy “Did it work, sir? Is the dark lord gone?” she asked.

Lucius looked at Hermione and asked “What happened to the Fountaines?” “They pooled their power to summon Merlin. That’s why they all passed out. Sara Snape talked to me about what may happen when they summoned him. That is how I knew what to do for Amberlyn. Did Merlin come?” Hermione asked again at the end of her explanation. “Yes, he came” said Lucius “But, something happened before that. Tom Riddle and the dark lord separated. If appears that the dark lord was a demon that took over Tom Riddle’s body.”

Lucius would not normally be so easy with his answers, but Hermione was family now since a blood debt was owed to her. A veela cannot live without their mate for more than a few months, so she had saved his son and daughter in law as well as his future grandchildren. She had saved the Malfoy line. Now that he knew things were okay, he decided to go back. He checked on Sara Snape and Sarah Riddle and then port keyed back.

Severus walked toward him the minute he appeared. “How is she? Albus said Amber was dead” said Severus “and how is Sara?” Lucius smiled and said “I now owe the Gryffindor know it all a blood debt because she knew a muggle method called CPR, she was able to save Amber. Sara was awake when I left and seemed fine, but she is still very weak. Too weak to get out of bed. All the Fountaines were the same. Miss Granger said Sara told her this might happen. They pooled their power to bring Merlin here to fight the dark lord.

Under the control of Merlin, who was still a shock to the ministry, the death eaters were summoned one at a time and questioned under veritaserum and taken away to Azkaban. Severus Snape and Lucius Malfoy as order spies were in charge.

Goyle Sr. was set to prison and the family estate was given to his only son. Gregory asked them to search the manor for victims of his father. All the death eaters convicted had their holdings given to their children. Tom Riddle was found to be a victim of Lord Voldemort as well and given over to Albus.

Merlin along with ministry officials and order members forced the demon back into the demon realm to be imprisoned. Albus called a meeting of the full order. Most were surprised to find Lucius Malfoy was there and had been working as a spy with Severus.

Lucius walked up to Arthur Weasley and said “I want to tell you how sorry I am about what happened to Ginny in her first year. Draco found that diary in my office and thought it would be funny to play a trick. I was relieved that Ginny was not hurt worse than she was. I know you may never forgive me. But, I am sorry. I have opened vault for Ron and Ginny at Gringotts and placed 50,000 galleons in each to help them in the future. I wanted them to have something to make up for the danger they were in from the diary.” “I accept your apology and hope we can end the feud between our families.” said Arthur.

The two men shook hands. They went back to the task of locking away death eaters. After several hours all was finally sorted out and they all went home. Severus came in to check on his Sara, she looked so small and helpless laying there. “Are you okay?” he asked as he leaned over her to kiss her softly. She nodded and said “Yes, my love. I’m fine.” “Why didn’t you tell me?” he asked. “Because” she said “You would not have let me take the chance if you knew you could lose me and I would have given in to you if you asked me.” She was right he thought. Severus nodded at her and said “Sleep my love and I will be right here. I’m just going to talk with Poppy.”

Severus went over and asked Poppy how Sara was doing. Poppy said “They will all be okay, even Amberlyn. They almost drained out all their magic. I will take about a week in bed resting and they can’t do any magic until their body rebuilds its store of magic.


So there you have it, the Dark Lord is gone.
