"Harry you must find the person that the other ring belongs to. Or you will die."

Harry couldn't stop thinking about it. This ring had bound him to someone he didn't know. Or worse maybe some one he did, and hated. Harry didn't have a good feeling about this. Not a good feeling at all.

He was at lunch the same day as the meeting and Pyro and Salazar where talking to each other when suddenly they became still. In the door way there was a figure. Harry didn't seem to notice it much but he knew that he was a handsome boy about 18.

Hedwig flew in just then with a note tied to her leg. "Hey there girl." Harry cooed. "Here, take this bit of chicken." With that Harry took the note and Hedwig took the chicken and flew off with her prize.

Harry,

Please meet me in my office ASAP.

Thank you,

Headmaster.

"Not again." Harry groaned silently.

He finished his lunch with looks from Ron and Hermione.

"What's the hurry mate?" Ron asked.

"Headmaster wants me in his office." Harry said simply.

"Ooh maybe you're getting the new student of the month award Harry." Hermione said.

"Hermione we all know that's going to you." Ron said.

"Oh guys I gotta run." Harry said.

"Bye Harry." Hermione and Ron said as Harry ran to Dumbledore's office.

As he neared the stairs to Dumbledore's office he already heard voices inside. He knocked on the door already getting past the gargoyle.

"Ah Harry, Come in. Have a seat." Albus said.

"Ok Headmaster what was such the rush couldn't this wait? I'm missing charms."

"Well no Harry, you see I've been doing some research on the ring that I gave you and I've found your mate. And well I brought you here because you're not going to take it well."

"I don't like the sound of that Headmaster."

At that moment Tom Riddle came out of the room next to the office. He was tall dark haired and had bright red eyes. The same since Harry had seen in the Chamber of Secrets almost 4 years ago.

"Neither did I." Tom said as he sat next to Harry.

"Riddle." Harry hissed.

"Yes, Potter its me. Nasty old Voldie." Tom said his voice filled with venom.

"You two will have two weeks to get to know each other. I have a tower prepared for you it's hidden except to myself and Professor Snape. And to Sirius Black Harry's godfather who will be arriving shortly. "

"I won't sleep with this monster." Harry said. Inside he was terrified.

"Oh you won't now? I know you don't mean that. Harry dear we are bound. It's not something that can just be denied. Besides you'd like it."

Harry and Albus both blushed with that last comment.

"Alright you will be staying at the picture of Merlin and your password will be 'Excalibur' understand?"

"Yes headmaster." Tom and Harry said at once.

"Is famous Potter sulking?" Tom said.

"No. Just thinking about everything you've ever done to me, now I'm supposed to love you for the rest of my life? How come everything always happens to me?"

"You think I'm happy about this? I've had to disband my Death Eaters and send them all to the Ministry myself because I'm going to be stuck by your side. That is if I want to live. Which I do."

"Masssster isss unhappy?" Pyro asked.

"Yessss Pyro. I don't know how to love a monsssster." Harry hissed back.

"Love him Masssssssster the besssssst way you know how." Salazar said.

"I don't know if I can." Harry hissed.

"He will love you too Masssssster." Pyro said.

Harry felt a pair of eyes on him. He looked up and saw that Tom was watching him. When Tom saw that Harry was looking he blushed and looked away. Tom didn't know how to love. But his boy and his innocence was starting to get to him. His eyes where so like a snake that he could just blink and Tom could picture him as a snake, glasses and all.

Harry knew that he was a very forgiving person but he didn't know he would be able to forgive this -this person that killed his parents and so many other people.

"I can't promise you the moon or the stars Harry, but I can promise you that I will be here for you always." Tom whispered.

"I know." Harry whispered back.

Tom was so handsome. Harry loved the way he looked at him. He studied his face closer and realized that Tom had a dimple.

Tom reached over and caressed Harry's cheek and pulled him closer for a kiss. A kiss so filled with passion that Toms arms snaked around Harry's waste to pull the young man closer to him. Harry's hands went instantly to Tom's raven hair and Tom moaned with pleasure.

Tom pulled away leaving both breathing heavy wanting more.

"Promise me you'll give me a chance?" Tom whispered.

Harry swallowed and nodded. He wasn't sure of anything yet. But if Tom was willing to try then so was he. Harry couldn't say no to him. He could tell already that Harry was falling hard for this raven haired beauty named Tom Riddle.
