They turned to look at the speaker and froze. There stood a slightly hazy, young Tom Riddle. Four people looked from Tom to… other Tom.
"What the hell is going on here?" Daniel expressed everyone's thoughts.
"Who are you?" Tom asked fearfully.
"Why Tom, I'm hurt, you don't remember me?" it cooed. "I'm you."
"How can there possibly be two Tom Riddles who look exactly alike?" Ron questioned. The figure grew angry and changed shapes, going from Tom to a pale, snake-like person with bright red eyes.
"What did you call me boy?" it shouted at Ron who cowered behind Hermione. She stared fearfully at the figure, all her old fears and nightmares returning to her.
"V-Voldemort," she chocked out. This cheered the monster up and he turned back into a human.
"Thank you Hermione," it chirps. "Yes Tom, it is I, Lord Voldemort, the spirit you banished so long ago."
"This isn't possible. You were just an emotion and a name!" Tom told him as if that would make it go away. Voldemort laughed humorlessly.
"How foolish you are boy, so naïve. Let me teach you something about spirits. When you become engrossed in an emotion, it becomes a life of its own. It takes on a form and will grow. However, if the person then rejects that emotion suddenly, the form is ripped from the body and forced to wander the earth. So I took over your son's emotionally distraught mind and used him for my own purposes. By having him finish your job, he has become cruel enough for me to attach myself to his soul and ultimately take over!" he explained.
"That was quite specific," Ron commented. Why do villains always give a detailed explanation of their plans?
"But why?" Tom asked sadly.
"Wait, wait, wait a minute!" Daniel interrupted. "What is this about doing his job? I'm the first one to open the Chamber!" Tom and Hermione blanched while Voldemort grinned cruelly.
"Tom, I'm disappointed in you. Not telling your own son about your past, lying! How awful," Voldemort taunted him.
"I didn't do it, you did!" Tom accused him.
"What are you guys talking about?" Daniel questioned them irritated.
"You opened it last time didn't you?" Harry figured out.
"Oh Dad, please say you didn't!" Daniel begged. Tom just lowered his head.
"I'm sorry Danny."
