His angel. His heart. The only thing the great Tom Riddle would ever love, that's what they called her.
His daughter.
She was his everything and he was more than protective over her. Growing up with death eaters as uncles, the dark lord as a father...
Okay, I am sooooo sorry for not updating in months and there is really no excuse for that. I had writers block and hopefully am over that now. But still, if anyone ever has any ideas for how the story could continue, I am open for suggestions and would be thrilled to get some.
Love you all and have fun reading...
Curare and Tom had been in America for about two months when she woke up to the smell of breakfast. Quickly Curare jumped up, giving Nagini who was curled around her a small kiss on her nose, before making her way to the huge kitchen.
When she entered the open room Curare froze in shock, staring at the person by the stove. Amelia Filler, the lady who showed them around the headquarters and was now working alongside her father was standing by the stove, wearing just one of her father's shirts, barely covering her ass, and making pancakes.
Amelia felt someone else's magic in the room and turned around, expecting to see Tom only to be face to face with his daughter. Her green eyes seemed to be glowing and she had a blank look on her face. Amelia dropped the pancake she was flipping when she saw the young girl just standing there.
"Oh...good morning. Would you like a pancake?" She asked, trying to ease the tension in the room, while also pulling down the shirt she was wearing, feeling extremely embarrassed at the entire situation.
Curare tilted her head, staring at the strange woman before answering. "Where is my father?"
"Uhm... I think he is still asleep." Amelia said, looking around the kitchen before finally sitting down on one of the barstools.
"And why are you here already then?" Curare asked after a while. Her tone wasn't rude or anything, more like curious. She sat down on the other side of the kitchen island, before focussing on her again.
"Well, you see-"
"Amelia! Have you seen Curare? She is not in her room" Tom said, coming into the kitchen, interrupting whatever Amelia was going to say next. He looked between the two females and the decided to make himself a coffee before he did anything else. "Did you sleep well little snake?" he asked after his first sip.
Curare nodded slowly.
The silence in the room was suffocating until Amelia got up "well, I have to be off then. I'll see you two soon. Have a nice day." She gave them both a nod, then quickly walked to the master bedroom to pick up her clothes and get out as soon as possible.
"Did you sleep with her?"
Tom almost chocked on his sip, giving her a wide-eyed look. "Please tell me you at least used contraception."

After the more than weird morning the two Riddles left for the ministry again, both wearing their iconic black, Slytherin themed cloaks. Only this time when they arrived, they were not greeted by smiles nods and respectful nods, but rather with four aurors giving them nasty glares.
"Can we help you?" Tom asked, giving the four of them a calculating look while pulling his daughter closer to him.
"We need to talk to you both, please follow us." By now there were many curious eyes staring at the group, wondering why the hell the two of the most prominent wizards were being arrested.
The group of aurors led the two to an interrogation room slamming the door shut after them. By now Tom was pissed and as soon as the head of the group turned around, he was greeted by a hell-freezing glare. "Why are we being arrested? We have done nothing wrong and have the right to be here, given out by the Minister personally."
"That is not why you are here. Have you visited the UK in the last two weeks Lord Riddle?" The auror asked, completely ignoring the question he had been asked. The two men sat opposite each other, giving each other a stare off. Tom could feel the idiot auror trying to get into his mind, but his tries only felt like a dull pulsing against the shield Tom had up in his mind.
"No" he answered between clenched teeth. The aurors gave each other a pointed look. "What the hell is going on?" he suddenly shouted making everyone else in the room flinch and immediately two wands were pointed at him.
"There has been an unusual attack in Hogwarts. A cat was found petrified. And this message was found painted on the wall with chicken blood." The man shouted, slamming a picture down."

Tom's eyes widened significantly. "Now you will understand why we are a little bit suspicious. The Chamber of Secrets is rumoured to have been built by Salazar Slytherin and the only two heirs of his bloodline that are known. Or is there anyone else we should add to that list?"
"No. We are the only two of the Slytherin bloodline that are still alive."
"If I understand correctly the chamber can only be opened by an heir, you just admitted you were the only ones left. It has never been opened before, right?"
"I opened it when I was in school, but I informed the British Ministry about it. Now, neither me nor my daughter opened the chamber, so you will have to look for someone else who did this, because both me and my daughter have not left the country in two months and we have been around hundreds of people, also MACUSA personnel who can vouch for this."
"You can hopefully understand that we are a little bit suspicious anyway. Therefore, I must ask you to stay in your apartment until you will be questionee by the British ministry of Magic." Tom glared at the man in front of him one final time before giving him a court nod of understanding. Then both he and Curare were led directly to their apartment where two Aurors stood guard in front if the door and all fireplaces and apparating zones were blocked.
"We are really sorry about this." The head Auror of MACUSA said once all the workers had left the room and it was only the three of them left. "And I know for you Lord Riddle it would be no hassle to get past these wards, but we ask you not to do this, as it would just mean a mountain of paperwork for me, and personally that sounds like a dreadful way to spend a Friday evening. Also, we hope you will continue your work here with the Ministry after all this has been cleared up. Nobody really believes it was you or your daughter who opened the Chamber." The man said with a small smile on his face. To be honest, it had taken so many years to get the Slytherin heir to agree to come to America and translate the books and help set up wards and all, loosing such an important person's favour was the worst thing that could happen. Especially since the madame President wanted to persuade Lord Riddle to move to America permanently. It would be a huge boost in status for entire country if he did.
"Find out who is doing this, before I send out my own people to investigate, and send a message to Lord Lucius Malfoy in Britain, he is to send a trustworthy Death eater to me immediately." The head Auror nodded before leaving the room.
