"So he was controlling the Basilisk like Mr Creevey?" Amelia questioned feeling the exhaustion seeping in, sighing when the Riddle Heir’s nodded. Well, it kind of explained why the children had the last name Riddle and not LeClair. Magical inherited names were chosen when the child was conceived, so if any talents were passed down the dominant magical’s line, the child had their name or else could lose their talent. Although if the submissive magical line had a gift, magic still blessed them with the dominant magical name. Unspeakables were still trying to study Magic and Magical lines to understand how it worked. But if they wanted to keep any of the gifts from the Slytherin line, or even wanted the Slytherin Lordship after their seventeenth birthday then they needed to keep the Riddle name and the only name they would be able to take would be the Slytherin name or the Magical name of a dominate soulmate or soul bonded.
