Summary
There were two things that Mary Riddle cared about more than anything: her reputation and her wealth.She had to damage control when her Tom eloped with that tramp on Boxing Day. She had to damage control when her Tom came back home, wifeless, on Midsummer Day.When the tramp showed at her door on New Year’s Eve, Mary Riddle had to decide what would be the better choice: kicking the gold-digger out of her estate, or let the pregnant daughter-in-law in. {What If Merope Gaunt went to Little Hangleton instead of giving birth at a Muggle orphanage}
Note
Just an idea that came to my mind today.And suddenly Mary Riddle popped into my head as a perfect mix of 2015 Cinderella's Lady Tremaine and Lady Olenna Tyrell.
