Disclaimer:I do not own Harry Potter.

IMPORTANT 1: Someone pointed out a mistake I made in the chapter. I corrected it. Sorry about that.

IMPORTANT 2: People keep asking me, or just mention how the Horcrux Tom in the Diary seems to know more than he should. I also realize that you guys might find it weird that he switches between the Toms and still treats them the same, and vice versa. All of the Horcruxes are in fact connected, and all of them share the same memories and emotions. So they all feel the same about Harry, even the Tom who tried to kill him last year, just more muddled because of how unstable he is. All the indidvidual Horcruxes are capable of emotions, they are just unused to them. Just thought I should clear that up.

A/N:Thank you all for your follows, favorites, and amazing reviews! They make me so happy! Here is the 8th chapter! This is one of my longest fanfics so far. I hope you guys enjoy it, and as always, please Review!

NympheaLotus: I can see your point. But I have reason for that. Harry has a piece of Tom's soul inside him. It kinda compells him to trust Tom. Thanks for your review!

Bashirisuku: The friend I mentioned is actully an OC that I created and also use in Yellow, Green, Blue and White. I just changed up how she is used in here.

Harry's Thoughts to Tom

~Tom's thoughts to Harry~

{Hermione Writing to Tom}

-Tom Writing to Hermione-

Harry followed Tom's whispered instructions from inside his head to a girl's bathroom on the second floor.

"You do realize that if I'm caught, I could get detention, right?"

"~Then don't get caught. You seem to be good at that.~ Harry rolled his eyes at that, getting a chuckle from the bit of soul in his scar. It was annoying how much Tom enjoyed his discomfort sometimes. Once Harry reached his destination he walked to the sink as he was told.

"Now what?"

~You need to say Open in Parseltongue.~

"Right... And how do I do that?" Harry heard a chuckle in his mind.

~It's not as hard as you're making It out to be. When you're in front of the entrance, you can't help but speak Parseltongue. Give it a try.~ Harry sighed but did as he was told.

«Open» Harry jumped back when the sinks started moving apart to reveal a hole in the floor, that led into darkness.

~Now you say stairs in Parseltongue~

¥Stairs¥ Sure enough a wide set of stairs appeared and Harry grinned.

It got darker as they walked lower down into the tunnel. About ten minutes later Harry reached the bottom of the steps to see a bunch of bones lying at his feet. "Uh, Tom? Are you sure she won't eat us?" He heard a deep chuckle echo through his mind.

~Yes little serpent. I am positive she will not eat us. She has a high respect for Parseltongues, since Salazar Slytherin was one.~ Harry nodded absently as he wondered down the tunnel.

"Will you tell me more about your friend with the demon familiar?" There was a sigh.

~I suppose I could~ He sounded put upon, making Harry snort and roll his eyes. ~I met Charles in my first year. She was a year older than myself, and looked out for me when everyonethought I was a muggleborn who was placed in Slytherin by mistake. When the Hat called out Slytherin, everyone sat closer together except for her. She smiled at me and patted the seat next to her... She became my sister and my first follower.~

"I wasn't really a follower, was I Tommy boy? Harry didn't notice they had gotten to a door and a with long red hair, wearing a black corset shirt with long sleeves, tight black pants, maroon vest like robes, and black Dragon hide boots. It was obvious who she was.

"Is it true you have a demon for a familiar?" Charles laughed and ruffled Harry's hair.

"Yep! He's a Raven Demon named Sebastian." After that statement she turned to the door. ¥Open¥ Harry's eyes widened.

"How did you do that!" She just grinned, walking forward.

To Hermione

Hermione stared at the deceptively innocent inscribed book lying on the desk in front of her. Tom had told Harry that he wouldn't hurt her, but she was still wary. But she was so curious. She finally pulled out ink and quill and opened the Diary.

{Hello?}

-Hello. I'm guessing you're Hermione.-

{Yes, that's me. Harry tells me a lot about you.}

-Yes has told me quite a bit about you as well. What can I do for you?- Hermione tapped the quill against her lip, debating on whether she should bother him with her problems when he started writing again. -Hermione. Harry is my equal, and I plan to make him a Dark Lord by my side. He also considers you a sister. We are going to be stuck together. I would like for you to trust me. I know that I wasn't exactly stable before I lost my body, and I did terrible things to muggleborns... But I hope that I can help you, and maybe one day you trust me enough to let me be your friend.- Hermione smiled, putting quill to the paper to ask her question.

{You know Professor Snape, right?} There was a pause.

-Yes... Why?- Hermione sighed.

{Then can you tell me... Why he seems to hate me?} There was a long pause.

-You two really love asking difficult questions, don't you? I'm of the opinion that he sees a lot of you in him. He wasn't a muggleborn, but he had a muggle father who wouldn't let him learn magic until he went to Hogwarts. He, like yourself, felt he had something to prove. He would study constantly, correct others work, essays longer than necessary, hand always in the air. He was also always bullied. I don't believe he hates you. He has a role to play, to keep Dumbledore off his back and his post as spy, while also wanting to keep you from ending up like himself at your age. That coupled with all his responsibilities as a teacher, he is bound to be surly. He was actually a sweet boy when he was younger.-Hermione's face was scrunched up in thought.

{Do you think that if he had help, maybe around the classroom, or maybe another spy, that he would be less stressed?} There was another long pause.

-Where exactly did this idea come from?-

{Well the helping him in the classroom was just now. But I had been wanting to be a spy for you and Harry since he started talking about embracing his dark nature.} It was a few minutes before she got an answer.

-That is a dangerous job Hermione. You would have to learn Occlemency before you do anything.-

{I know, and I've been reading and building my shield. I just need it tested. Then I'm good to go. But do you think it will help him?}

-You have to ask him that. But you have to give him this Diary so I can bring him in and speak with him. Then you go from there.-
