A/N Hi. This is my first fan fiction. Comments and constructive criticism are both welcome!

Disclaimer: All of this except the plot belongs to J.K. Rowling.

Harry suddenly awoke from a horrible dream he was having. In his dream was a figure with red slits for his eyes and nostrils. His lips were blue. His teeth were yellow. He had little wispy brown hair on his greasy head. He heard him laugh a cold laugh, and then Harry woke up sweating all over, mostly on his forehead. Voldemort once again took over his dreams.

Harry looked at his alarm clock. It was 2:07 A.M. Four more hours to go till he could get up. He looked over at Ron. He was sound asleep. A few minutes later Harry fell asleep too.

When he went down to the Great Hall for breakfast he was very tired. Just then Dumbledore did a spell and started to speak as if he was talking in a microphone.

"Witches and wizards, today a new child from America has come to Hogwarts. He is a transfer student. His name is Tom. He will belong to Gryffindor," Dumbledore announced.
Harry thought of Tom as a ugly boy with long, messy hair.

First Harry went to Herbology. Then boring Potions, then lunch. After lunch he went to Defense Against the Dark Arts. After all the classes were done, he did his homework, studied, and went to meet that Tom boy.

Harry found Tom in the library studying. Harry went over to him.

" Uh.. Hi! My name is Harry."

Tom said nothing.

"Hello????? Tom? I was coming to meet you," Harry said, persisting.

Still said nothing. Harry finally gave up and went back to Gryffindor.

When Harry got back to his room, it was already 10:00 pm! He quickly went to bed. He woke up again in the middle of the night like he did the night before. This time it wasn't from a nightmare though. He woke up his scar hurting so much he could hardly think. He heard something outside. Somebody talking in a loud whisper. He went over to the big window, looked outside, and couldn't believe what he saw.

Outside was Voldemort! Also some other people he didn't recognize. Wait a second. In the corner of the crowd was Tom! Tom was on Voldemort's side! Then why wasn't Tom in Slytherin? It suddenly struck Harry. Dumbledore never brought the the Sorting Hat, so the hat couldn't say he was in Slytherin. I guess Dumbledore just put Tom in Gryffindor.

I wonder why? Harry thought, confused. Something strange was going on and he was determined to find out what. And not only that, Voldemort was at Hogwarts! Harry threw on a robe, woke up Ron, and ran to Dumbledore's office.
