Disclaimer : I own none of the Harry Potter characters, they respectfully belong to JKR. I own the plot, at least give me credit for that.
Author's Notes : Be nice & review, please. :) I'm not following the original plot whatsoever. This is AU (because I give Tom a heart) and because there is no Voldemort. Well there is a Tom Riddle and he's changing the future so yeah, no Voldie. Oh and in this chapter Tom is nice to Dumbledore because Dumbledore is DUmbledore, he could destroy Tom with a flick of his wand.
After Tom had his encounter with Percy Weasley, he made his way to Dumbledore's office. He told the password to the gargoyle who grunted but opened up to let him through. The brunette stood on the steps as it made its way up. Tom couldn't help but let his mind stray to the red head. He was tall, lanky, had piercing blue eyes, and had no freckles on his face or neck. He was tempted to strip the red head of his clothes just to see if his whole body was freckle free. Tom licked his lips at the thought, smirking. He would make Percy's wish come true one way or the other. He was also determined that he would be the one to grant the wish. Upon laying his eyes on the red head for the first time yesterday, he thought that despite the lankiness the Weasley would have been eye candy. If he would take off those glasses and wore some contacts or something his blue eyes would be even more piercing.
The steps stopped and he found Dumbledore sitting at his desk, reading a book. A bag of lemon drops was on his desk next to his book. The headmaster looked up from his book and smiled, those dark eyes sparkling. He gestured to the seats in front of his desk. Tom took a seat as the headmaster set his book down.
"I never thought to see you here Tom." said the headmaster, that knowing smile on his face. Tom smirked back.
"In your office?"
"In 1992, I mean."
"A wish brought me here." said Tom. "I don't know why me though."
"A wish made by Percival Weasley if I am correct?"
"Yes, headmaster."
"I guess you're being transferred to this time. You won't mind staying here until I figure out a way to send you back, would you Tom?"
"I wouldn't mind a bit."
"You'll have a chance to fulfill Percival's wish." said the headmaster, winking. "The Slytherin password is snake fang. I am sure in the boy's dormitories there is an open room at the end of the hall. You'll have a room to yourself."
"Thank you headmaster." said Tom, standing and making his way over to the gargoyle. He stood on the steps as the gargoyle slowly spun down to the sixth floor. He walked off to the Slytherin common room, eagerly awaiting the next day he'll meet with the shy red headed prat. He wasn't in love with Percy or at least he told himself but his heart was beating rapidly every time he thought of the red head. Love at first sight didn't happen to him. He was sensible enough to get to know a person before he loved. Then again he's never been in love, being busy with rising to power and all. Tonight as he talked to Percy he hadn't once thought about Dark Magic or over-ruling the wizarding world. He had only thought about how he loved the crazy way Percy had looked. The thought that he could pull the red head's strings like that made him shake with happiness.
Morning came around and he made his way into the Great Hall, wearing the modern robes that had suddenly made its way into his room. He found all his other possessions in the room too. Looking around the room he found his red head sitting next to a brunette. He frowned at how the two looked so close. He confidently made his way over to the Gryffindor table.
"Percy." he purred the name out. Percy whipped his head around, blue eyes meeting with dark eyes. He saw the red head suck in a breath, eyes widening.
"What are you doing here Tom?" hissed Percy.
"I'm the exchange student."
"Who's he?" asked the brunette sitting next to Percy.
"I'm Tom Riddle." he introduced himself, looking at the brunette now. "You are?"
"Oliver Wood, Percy's boyfriend so back off." he watched with amusement as Percy slyly jabbed his elbow into Oliver's stomach. The brunette coughed as the air was knocked out of his lungs. Tom smiled at the action. Oliver playfully glared at Percy and turned his attention to his breakfast.
"He's Oliver Wood, best friend and roommate of Percy Weasley." corrected the red head. "Now, what is it you want?"
"Like I said last night, I'm here to grant your wish." said Tom. The red head stared into the taller brunette's eyes. Tom noticed how the Gryffindor's glared at him for approaching their prefect.
"How do you know about it?"
"Let's go to a special spot of mine and we'll discuss." he inwardly sighed in relief when Percy stood. Tom turned and led the way. He led them to a spot under a tree by the Quidditch pitch. Tom sat under the tree and patted the spot next to him. Percy sat down next to him and gestured for him to start explaining.
"You made a wish and I was brought back from the past." said Tom in a matter-of-fact tone. Percy's eyes bulged. Tom chuckled and stared at the cute expression.
"The past?"
"Yes, over fifty years ago."
"What year were you in?"
"5th."
"I'm in my 5th year now."
"I know, you have the brightest red hair I've ever seen."
Percy blushed, his flawless creamy skin turning a pink color. Tom leaned over and brushed his hand over the heated colored right cheek. He felt the skin become hotter under his touch. He loved the way he could make the red head feel. He could sense the embarrassment and a little more. He frowned when Percy abruptly stood up, gripping the strap of his bookbag.
"I-I have to g-go, I have Transfigurations." sputtered the red head. Tom noted how he gripped the strap in a feminine sort of way. He smiled and waved.
"I'll see you in Potions." said Tom.
"How did you know 5th year Slytherin's and Gryffindor's had Potions together?"
"I just know." he watched as Percy trotted off, confused/dazed expression on his face. Tom chuckled at how cute his little red head could be. He was surprised with himself for referring to the red head as 'his' now. He smiled, it wouldn't be long before Percy would be his.
