XVI. He Who Must Not Be Named

The One with the Prophecy

The whole wizarding world was shocked as they had read the Daily Prophet. Everyone was aware of the fact that he had a daughter, Y/N Riddle. Yet, Y/N's birth was overshadowed by a prophecy as the one with the power to vanquish Lord Voldemort himself.
The newspaper was written that he must not be named had tried to kill his own daughter, which was an unsuccessful attempt and led to his downfall. Y/N henceforth being known as the 'Girl Who Lived', as she was the only known survivor of the killing curse.

Y/N grew up in an orphanage until the age of eleven. You had received a letter to attend the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Once boarding the express, you had caught a lot of attention. Everyone thought a lot about the idea that the 'Girl Wo Lived' was boarding the Express to Hogwarts. Yet, they were thrilled by the fact you are the daughter of Lord Voldemort himself.

Everyone in the Great Hall gasped as McGonagall has called your name.
      Riddle. Y/N!'' You walk towards the stool, only to hear a lot of gasps. McGonagall puts down the hat as it immediately starts rambling. ''Ah, a Riddle. The girl who lived. Cunning, willing to achieve anything, loyal, stubborn. Hmm yes, alright, SLYTHERIN!''
     You walk towards the table as they all cheering. You sat down, next to a platinum blonde-haired boy. He turns his gaze to you with a smirk, ''hello. I am Malfoy, Draco Malfoy.'' You smirked and accepted his hand, replying, 'In am Y/N Riddle.''

You were one of the brightest witches of your time, just when your father was in Hogwarts. You didn't act cold and cruel, yet you could. You had made friends with Draco, developed a little crush too.
     Along the years, you slowly had seen your father's return. He returned during the Triwizard Tournament, with you as a champion. The trophy, you and Cedric grabbed, was portkey which led you the graveyard. Wormtail cruelly killed Cedric with the killing curse.

''Do you know where you standing? Daughter mine?'' his silky smooth voice reaches your ears and you turn away from his form. ''You are standing on the bones of your grandpa.'' You turn to him with a cold look, ''why? Why do you want so much power?'' ''Because only I could live forever.'' You scoff as he stalks closer.
     ''You know how to duel, right?'' he says while throwing you off the statue. ''First, we bow. To each other.'' He bows and uses the cruciatus curse to let you bow. You groan in pain as the curse hit you. You get up, prepared to fight him. ''Avada Kedavra!'' you both yell, causing the killing curses met each other in the middle.
     You try to attack the death eaters around him, by snapping your wand sideways. ''Ah, she has learned so much! I am so proud,'' he comments sarcastically. You glance at Cedric's body, which lays close to you. ''I've gotta run, see you later,'' you smirk as you stand next to Cedric's body. While you were still in a fight with your father, you clung onto Diggory's body and whispered, ''accio.''

Since then, everyone feared you. Even your fellow Slytherins are avoiding you, yet only one stays with you. ''Why are you not running away from me?'' you ask when you feel someone's presence. ''Why would I?'' His voice made you look up, ''Draco.'' ''Hi,'' he says a little awkward.
Draco was the only one who stayed with you, for all those years. Draco has developed a full crush on you since you had spent so much time with him.

"Y/N, please don't give a damn about those!" Draco soothes. You look at him with teary eyes. "But I am not like my father!" you try to say, but you begin to sob. Draco hurries to your side and takes you in an embrace.
"Everyone fears you, because you are the daughter of Voldemort himself. They are scared you will kill them as coldly as your father. And I know you wouldn't, but what am I against those," he chuckles.
"Thank you, that means a lot." "And hey, we don't want a sobbing heir of Slytherin. Come on, give me some attitude," he laughs. He succeeds in making you laugh. "Thank you Draco, really. Thank you."
"No problem, I would never leave you. I would hate myself."

Voldemort had prepared a huge attack on the school unless you had surrendered. You couldn't risk these lives and decided to surrender.
Draco protested loudly as you continued to walk down the stairs - heading to the forest. ''Y/N, stop!'' You ignored the boy. Draco grabs your wrist to stop you. ''Y/N Riddle! I want you to listen to me right now!'' You turn around to glare at him, ''I need to go, Draco!''
     ''No, wait. Please, I-I need to tell you something,'' Draco stutters. You stood still and eyed him in question. ''I-I-I like you, a lot. I don't care about the fact you are an heir of Slytherin. I don't care your father is the darkest wizard of all time. All I care about is that I love you.'' Your eyes widen as it penetrates in your mind. You smile as you caress his cheek.

You pull him close and kiss him. ''I am so sorry,'' you whisper, your head resting against his. ''Petrificus Totalus," you whisper. Draco petrified and fell down on the cold floor.
You ran down the stairs and turn around at a great distance. You move your hand in his direction, ''Finite Incantatem.'' Draco unfreezes and sits up straight. He curses under his breath when his eyes follow you - leaving the school.

You walk through the forest, convincing yourself this is the best way. ''Y/N, what are yeh doing here?'' Hagrid calls angrily. Hagrid was, along with Draco, a friend who stayed. You send him a sad smile. ''It'll be alright, Hagrid. No one gets hurt if I came up here, right father.'' Your eyes shot to the man in front of you.
     ''Ah, Y/N. My dear daughter has come to die.'' Causing some chuckles from the death eaters. ''I remembered you failed the first, am I right father,'' you spit the word father with poison. Deep, deep down, Voldemort felt guilty for doing this. His own daughter, but he must not get emotional. It will become his downfall.

''Why are you doing this anyway? You really think I would have killed my own father?'' ''Yet, here you are.'' ''Because you tried to kill me! Only for power," you pause, "the word family means nothing to you! I wouldn't be surprised if I existed out of a love potion!"
"This could have gone another way if you had just used those brains of yours!'' you yell, "if you hadn't split your soul, you have thought better." The guilt increases as he sees your angry face. He did love you and that was why it is so hard to kill you.

"I have to do this, daughter.'' You roll your eyes. ''Alright, try to kill me. Succeed this time, please.'' He hesitates for one more second, before firing the killing curse. ''Avada Kedavra!'' You see the green light coming to you and it hit you, sending you to the back. Hagrid cries it out as he sees your lifeless body.

''The girl... is she dead?'' Bellatrix asks with widening eyes. Narcissa walks up to your body. ''Is Draco alright?'' she whispers. You nod the slightest. She turns around, ''dead.'' Hagrid had to try his best not to he bursting out into tears.
     Voldemort and his army made their way to School grounds with Hagrid carrying your body. Everyone stood there in silence. ''Who is that Hagrid's carrying? Neville, who is it?'' Hermione asks in anxiety.

''Y/N Riddle is dead!'' Voldemort yells as he laughs. Draco's facial expression dropped, she is dead. No... Tears were forming in his eyes. He had to blink to make them disappear, but they were with too many.
''No!'' a scream reaches your ears. The scream was more terrifying because you had never expected that McGonagall could make such a sound.
     ''No! NO!!'' Hermione screams, walking forwards. Voldemort fires a spell towards Hermione, causing her to back down. ''Silence! Stupid girl. Y/N Riddle is dead. From this day forth, you put your faith... in me. Y/N Riddle is dead!'' He and his Death Eaters laugh, ''and now it the time to declare yourself. Come forward and join us... or die.''

''Draco! Draco,'' Lucius calls his son. ''Draco, come.'' Narcissa extends her hand. Draco reluctantly walks over to Voldemort, who hugs him. ''Why?'' he whispers. Voldemort ignores him, ''well done, Draco. Well done.''
      Neville stumbles forwards, earning glares from everyone. ''Well, I must say, I hoped for better.'' Death Eaters laugh, ''And who might you be, young man?'' ''Neville Longbottom.'' And the Death Eaters laugh again.

''It doesn't matter that Y/N is gone.'' ''Stand down, Neville,'' Hermione glares. ''People die every day. Friends, family.. Even though she was your daughter, she had another personality. Yeah, we lost Y/N tonight. But she's still with us, in here.'' Neville gestures to his heart. ''So's Fred, and Remus, Tonks... all of them. They didn't die in vain. But you will, 'cause you're wrong! Y/N's heart did beat for us, for all of us! It's not over!'' Neville draws the Sword of Gryffindor.
     Y/N's eyes open, you fling out of Hagrid's arms. Voldemort is utterly and completely in shock. Draco watches astonished as you fell out of Hagrid's arms. "Y/N!!'' Draco yells and throws his wand to you. You catch it and smile at him. "Thank you babe!" "You go babe!" He yells, earning confused looks from this parents.

You and your father fight at the top of the castle. ''The wand always fails you. It never belonged to you,'' you say. ''I killed Snape!'' he yells back as he grabs your neck. ''The wand never answered to Snape. Come on, father. Let's finish what we've started. TOGETHER!'' with that, you pulled yourself with Voldemort off the roof.
With your father being able to travel in some sort of smoke, you end up laying on the school grounds.

You both grasp for your wands, ''Avada Kedavra!'' Two powerful wizards/witches. The blood of Salazar Slytherin running through their veins. Voldemort gasps as he feels himself weakening. Neville had slashed off Nagini's head, the last Horcrux.
     Your green beam became stronger while his weakened. Voldemort looks at his wand, which is breaking. Then, the killing curse hit him. His lifeless body fell onto the floor.

You fell down on your knees. The realisation hit you and tears were rolling down. Draco ran to you and hugged you tight. ''I-I killed him. I killed my own father,'' you say with widening eyes. ''You saved us all, Y/N,'' Draco soothes as he feels you hiding your face in the crook of his neck.
     You pulled out of his hug to look him in the eyes. You smile as you see him. Without hesitation, you crash your lips on Draco's. Planning on never to let go.

"I-I love you," you whisper softly.
