Holla! Thanks for all your reviews and kudos on the last chapter. Hope you enjoy this one!

A week have passed since the little inconvenience in the Dada class. It could have been a big one if not for the heir of Slytherin's strong reflexes and fast reaction time. As soon as he had seen Slughorn emerge from the wardrobe, he shouted the incantation not giving him a chance to utter any word that could give him away. No one had to know the humiliation he had been victim of. No one had the right to look down at him with pity. His pride was above anything else. And soon he would deel with the source of his problem and make any trace of it disapear, like it had never occured in the first place.

People had asked him why he feared Slughorn. He couldn't tell them it wasn't the Proffesor he feared, but the idea of slughorn telling everyone what he did to him, and facing the humiliation. The idea of remembering what happened or being told what had happened too.

A week of reading Slytherin's parseltong book to finally get the hint of his greatest innheritance's location. The legendary chamber of secret.

His only problem was how to sneak out there.

At night, the prefects made their rounds. He wondered if some delusional charms would work to help him slytherin the chamber. He didn't even know yet how the mecanism to open it worked, he only knew it was in the abandonned girl's bathroom. That was basically why he couldn't sneak in there in the day time, it would be embarassing if someone caught him entering a girl's bathroom.

It was the day everyone was to go to hogsmead he decided to do it.

"Such a shame you can't come Tom. Seriously you didn't catch a cold the whole winter and now that it started getting a bit warmer, you're stuck to bed." Said Avery grumpily.

Avery had become closer to him than Black and Malfoy. He was doing everything he could to gain his favours knowing that he would soon be at top of hierarchy if he continued his assertion. Everyone was around him for his power only of course. Power was everything in Slytherin, and the weak seaked it from the strongest.

"Well the sudden change in temperature might have caused that. " Said Eilleen. "Get well Riddle." And there was Eilleen who despite being close, refused to call him Tom.

"I'll be okay after some rest, have fun." He said with a bored ton.

He had faked being sick, it wasn't even that hard to fool them. A little glamour on his face, some good acting on his part and they all believed he had caught the worst cold.

He waited half an hour to finally exit the dormitory. Even harry had gone to hogsmead, so there was no one to interrupt him.

He walked toward the second floor, it was a long way from the dungeon where the slytherin resided. As soon as he was half way his objective, he heard a familiar voice call him.

"Tom! " He froze. "I ran back here when your housemates told me you were sick! What are you doing here ? you should be in bed."

"Harry!" he coughed. "why didn't you go? I'm fine don't worry."

"I was about to, but when your friends informed me of your health I couldn't not come back and nurse you back to health." His guardian put a hand on his head "you're cold, it's good you don't have a fever at least."

Tom thanked morgana harry didn't have any medical talent, he would have been damned.

"let's go back to your room, did you at least take a potion? I told you not to overwork yourself!"

" calm down harry don't worry, I was about to go to Madame Pikelson for potions. She's the expert in the domain." Going to the infirmary was a plausible excuse at least, he just feared having to be dragged there now, as a proffetional would fond it easy to unravel his fraudery.

" let me take you there." He said as he grabed his arm.

"No need Harry really , now that you're here I just want to go back to the dorm and talk to you. "

"You're sure? I guess you seem well enough to not need potions, but just out of precaution let's..."

"don't insist harry I'm alright just let's go. I don't like the hospital wing."

Harry followed him not so convinced. He was worried his ward's sickness would get worse, but if it really did, he would make sure to drag the boy by force to the infirmary.

"Must be sad to not go the hogsmead, while all your friends are having fun there."

" I'm alright harry, it happpens" Tom smiled as to reassure harry he was really okay. Even though he was cursing inside at how his plans had failed just like that. "how did you find me by the way? You should have first checked the Slytherin's dormitory."

"Well I kind of cheated. I can kinda know where anyone is at any time in hogwart."

Tom froze, and he was about to give himself away by wandering in school toward the chamber. Thankfully harry had told him.

But what to do now that he knew? Even if harry wasn't at school, he could easily see him with that thing , whatever it was. Or was it another of Harry's power? To what extend was his guardian powerfull.

Harry took from his back pocket a map.

"I solemnly swear that I'm up to no good."

The map took life, patterns of hogwarts were starting to get drawn. Harry pointed his name with his finger.

"You can see everyone 's location in the map. Our name is written under our location. Brilliant isn't it?"

"yeah." Tom glared at the map with shinning eyes and need. The many possibilities she could offer. But also the many possibilities she could close if she stays in Harry's possession. At that thought tom's expression sadened a bit.

"I'm giving it to you, if you promise you'd stay safe no matter what you're using it for alright?"

Tom's heart warmed up. Harry trusted him, he choose to give it to him instead of Ted. And that should mean something.

Harry meanwhile had wanted to give it to him as soon as he saw tom's eyes regain the shine they lost a while ago. But now he was debating whether or not it was a good idea to do so.

Of course this one was the copy he had made of the original, that one being in teddy's possession since second year. But giving to tom his last way to find them at any given time, made him kind off anxious and unconfortable the more he thought about it.

But the boy was forteen, older than he had been himself when he had received the map from the weasley twins. He should give him some credits and see. He was old enough and stromg enough to handle himself. He had for years trained him and teddy so they could defend themselves in every possible situation.

The other thing that bothered him, was that he kind of regretted not giving his wards the map at the same time. If he told tom that teddy had the same one but longer than he had, he would surely get upset. Tom didn't ask, so he saw no need to tell him that piece of information.

"how did you get this harry? Did you make it?"

" oh no the original.. I mean the map had been created by some hogwarts students a long time ago, and from hands to hands it came to me." He had been about to blurt that it was a copy of the original map.

"Messrs Padfoot Prongs moony and wormtail... weird names, they must have stood for something."

Harry saw nothing wrong to tell Tom their tail, that was the least he could do. Plus they weren't even born yet. And maybe they wouldn't be born as he changed many things.

"those names stood for their animagi forms, padfoot was a big black dog, prongs was a stag, wormtail was a rat and mooney , well, he wasn't really an animagi, he was a werewolf." Harry stoped to look at Tom's expression, surprisingly the boy wasn't disgusted by the fact that they were friends with a werewolf, his eyes were just full of curiosity.

"The three boys choose to become animagis at their third year so they could join their friend in the forest so he wouldn't be so alone."

"Are they still alive?"

"they're not from this world sadly."

"What happened to them?"

"Prongs died young because of wormtail's betrayal. Padfoot went to Azkaban without trial after he was accused of that betrayal. He got himself killed afterward. And moony died in a war."

"Too bad, they were brillliant men I assume. How do you know their story?"

"they're tail is told to anyone that receives the map and is kept a secret until it is time to pass it on again."

"I swear I will use it safely. Thanks Harry."

"that's not how it works tom, you should solemnly swear that you're up to no good for it to work, not to stay safe." Harry winked.

He spent the whole afternoon near the slytherrin until his friends were back from hogsmead.

Tom had been a bit disapointed he didn't get to see the chamber. But neverthless , he waited months , he could wait a few days more, and this time he had a tool that would make him access it safely at any given time. For now he just enjoyed Harry's presence beside him.

OOOOOoooOoOooo

"So Mr Le fay spent the whole afternoon with you? I would feel sufocated if I also saw my parents at hogwarts too, I wonder how you do."

Eileen who was reading a book rolled at Abraxas' comment. His parents would just spoil him more if they were here obviously.

"You wouldn't understand even if I explained. Harry is special."

"well he's young and doing a pretty brilliant job at the duelling club.. mmm ..everyone admires him, he's very handsome in fact." Orion said as a matter of fact.

"I wish he would notice me." Walburga said dreamily. Lucrecia playfully pushed her softly.

"he's still a proffesor you shouldn't be saying that."

"Come on that's what half of the girls think, you can't blame me for being hella straight. Hey Tom is he really single?" Walburga and lucrecia were orion's cousins, they were a year older than them but they stucked to Tom's group more and more as time passed.

"not only girls want him. I heard some sixth and seventh year guys talk about him in a rather sexual way. Something about him having a very nice arse and that they would definitly ..." Avery got silenced by a none verbal spell tom cast.

Tom looked in fact ready to murder. How dare they talk about harry like some sexual object? How dare they even lay their filty eyes on him?

"you'll not open this discussion again. Is that clear?" He stood up from his king chair. Avery got on his knees, not from his own while. He felt a force pull him to the floor, it was like he lost his legs' control. For a moment, they thought they saw Tom's eyes turn red.

They respected the pale boy for being the smartest in their year, the top student, the one who brought the most point to their house. He was normally calm and composed. He had a ruler's vibe around him. He was so in control of his emotions usually, and it just felt so natural to follow him and be around him.

But at those moment, they feared his anger. He looked so about to commit the irreparable and not regretting it in the least.

Avery nodded trembling. He didn't know Tom was that touchy when it concern his guardian. He would remember not to mention him ever again.

Eilleen was the only one that didn't seem phased by the event. As to break the silence and awkwardness she asked.

"You told us on your first year that you did not know teddy. Tom do you remember that? Why did you lie? " It was obviously just a diversion. But she was still a bit curious about it.

It worked as she heard Tom sight, and go back to his sit.

Tom never showed his dislike for the boy. They didn't know he was the cause of the werewolf incident a year ago. They also didn't know that they had made a deal not to act like they knew each others at school.

"I dislike him that is all."

"Why though? You live in the same house, he's harry's cousin too, he seem like a nice guy aside from being a don't seem like the type who dislike creatures either."

"leaving in the same house does not mean we should be familiar, him and I are way too different. " He didn't want to go into details as the sole reason he hated the boy was because of his possessive attitude toward Harry. But they didn't need to know that of course.

"I might also have a question." Alphard, the usually calm and composed Black, closed his book and made the initiative to talk for the first time in a while. "I'm wondering why they have the le fay family name. Morgana was a woman and we have no record of her full history anywhere. How did they disapear this long?"

"Well Harry himself didn't know the complete true story, all I know was that morgana married a man that was so in love with her, he gave up his family name for hers following her demand. He was a powerfull sorcerer she had never loved and just used him and his fortune to achieve high status, the only man she had truly loved was Guiomart, guenievre's cousin. Even though she had been married, she had lot of lovers apparently and some go and say that she might have had a baby with mordred her nephew. That claim comes from the fact that they wanted a powerfull baby. The thing is, after they had successfully killed arthur, merlin killed them and we never heard from the boy she had. All we know was that he was claimed to be her husband's son taking he family name of course. The mordred's son part is just a legend though, nothing concrete." They stared at him awed. All they knew about history was what they parents choose to tell them. They had said lot of tails about merlin, but all were ones were they never mentioned morgana, or mordred a lot. They just knew some details like mordred being prophesied to kill arthur pandragon. And that morgana helped him achieve that despite her being Arthur's half sister.

"Of course I know all of this because I myself was curious as to why harry beared morgana's surname I looked it up in Harry's large library, as he was very secretive of his family history. The only thing he told me was that it was tradition to name their first child with morgana's family name, even if the child was a daughter and she was to herself give her surname to her children. So there always had been at least one. Apparently Harry was the first and only child, his mother was the Le fay."

"So what's his father's family name?" asked lucrecia curiously.

" I have no idea as he refused to tell me for some unknown reasons."

" maybe his father is a muggle and he's just ashamed to say it."

Harry had never been ashamed to proudly say he was a half blood. But they didn't need to know that. Still Harry's father wasn't a muggle he had told him, in fact he had hinted many time at his father being a wizard.

"Harry is a muggle lover, he would proudly admit he has a muggle father, and he would in fact even go against tradition and take his name." Tom smiled at his own joke. It was kind of out of character, but he couldn't help but mock Harry's love for muggles. That particular trait he despised the most.

Harry was lucky he was Harry, with his beautiful emerald eyes, with his long lashes and his unrully black hair, as messy as his character. How Tom wanted to keep Harry hidden only to himself like some porcelain doll. Too bad he couldn't ... yet.

OOOOoooOoOOoOOooOoOOo

Teddy was sure something strange was up with Tom Riddle. First, slughorn being his Boggart was the least unlikely thing that could happen. Sure he didn't know what the boy feared, but his best teacher? No way. No , he doupted it was Slughorn, rather it was something Slughorn would have said, and that apparently only him knew, as the eyes of tom didn't fear when he saw the professor, it was panic he had read in them. People were blind for not noticing.

Teddy was sure the boy was hidding a lot of things, and he would make sure to unravel his secrets one by one.

Not so happy with this chapter, as you see I'm starting to slow down a bit as I'm soon reaching all the important plot element I was planning to unfold a long time ago. No chamber of secret this time again sorry hehehe.

Some told me that they found teddy and tom rather too overpowered. I'd say Tom was already powerfull even without harry's tutelage in his original time line. Imagine being thaught since six year old how to wandlessly cast spells as they were too young to have a wand, andd they were also making potions. Harry covered like 4 years of material which gives them lot of free time in their scholar years to read ahead and practice other advanced spells. As for what purpose I made them like this ? You ll see tehe!

People also asked why the drarry tag if there was only mention of it on the first chapter. (For ao3 people) well because I'm nOt done with the drarry yet surprise.

I ll end this author note before I get too excited and start spoiling.
