Harry POV
What?
"W-what do you mean? You know the D-dark Lord?" Hermione stutters, she was taken by shock, and so was I.
"Ohh, so he's the 'Dark Lord' that everyone is terrified of." Nico said, "he's the same person that I knew at the orphanage."
"'Mione, are you sure we gave him the right potion?" Ron asked nervously,
"Yes Ronald, of course I did." Hermione retorts,
~flashback~
"-but Bia, I don't want too! I want to see Mama!" a little boy with dark hair and dark eyes tugged on a girls skirt who looked alot like him. It must be Nico and his sister or something. I thought. Little Nico's eyes gleamed in the sun, he had a light tan and these little cards in his hands. They were in an old house with crackling paint and dreary furniture.
"Nico, fratellino, Mama is gone." she said tears pricking her eyes.
"What do you mean? Are we playing hide n seek?" Nico began running around looking for her. My heart cracked in two as he was running, dropping his cards, returning to pick them up and continuing to run. He looked so happy, so oblivious. I couldn't believe that
"No, she's dead. Gone." she corrected tears slowly falling down her pale petite face.
"What- is that true?" Nico looked up worriedly,
"Yes, that is true. I am so sorry for your loss." a new woman enters the room. Following her is a tall pale man. He was so skinny he was bony, he had the same dark hair and eyes as nico and Bianca, except crueler and so much older. Bianca's face suddenly darkened at the sight of him.
"Babbo, what are you doing here. Why show up now? " Bianca said, the man ignored her which only made her even more mad,
"Mrs. Barbara will lead you to your rooms. Goodbye my children." he suddenly disappeared in a flash with a eerie darkness.
"Come on, Nico, Bianca. Bianca, you will go to the girl's room and Nico will go the boy's." Mrs. Barbara led them to their rooms. Bianca left Nico with a hug and a kiss.
She led Little Nico down a narrow hall, some boys looked at him and sneered. Others left nasty comments which left him crying. I felt so bad for him, he lost his mother and now is in an orphanage. To make things worse, his father rejected them. I had been longing for a father for a long time. The fact that he rejected them on his own accord left me shocked. No, you cant feel empathy for a Death Eater. He is the enemy, I scolded myself.
They reached a room with a thing pale boy sitting on the bed creepily. The shadows seemed to follow Nico around as he cried. The boy on the bed looked up at him, he had pale skin and milk chocolate hair. His eyes looked so intimidating. Nico stopped crying after a while.
"Tom, meet Nico, Nico meet Tom. He will be your roommate for as long as you are here." Mrs. Barbara left them awkwardly,
"Hello," Tom said creepily, "Im Tom, Tom Marvolo Riddle." What? Was that Voldemort? Is that how Nico knows him?
"Hi Tom. My mama is dead." He introduced himself bluntly, Nico walks towards him and hugs him. Tom looks startled,
"You're-you're not scared?" Tom asks in surprise,
"No, should I? Are you a monster?" Nico asks, his round eyes staring at Tom's in curiosity.
"I guess? I can do weird things. No one likes me... " Tom replied,
"Like what?" Nico says, Voldemort concentrates on a coin on the drawer, the coin disappears and reappears in his hand. Voldemort looks expectantly at Nico, I was mind blown. But, Nico wasn't. He simply nodded his head.
"Me too, I can do things too." Nico closes his eyes and melts into the shadows and reappears on the other side of the room. Voldemort's dark eyes bulge out of his head.
"How did you do that?" Tom asks, I was wondering the same thing.
"I don't know, I just always did that. Also, I can do this," he grins evilly and places the tips of his fingers on the ground. The ground starts trembling, a skeleton cat crawls out of the ground. At this point I was so surprised that I just couldn't think. I was actually mind blown. The cat had little to none flesh on it, its corpse rotting away.
"Wh-what? That's necromancy! That's impossible!" Tom shouted, his surprise was quickly replaced by an evil thought."well Nico, my friend, let's have some fun shall we?
~flashback end~
I was suddenly snapped back to the present, Nico looked pale, his eyes boring into mine.
"D-did you guys s-see that?" I stuttered,
"See what Harry?" Hermione asked with a puzzled look on her face,
"The Tom and Nico and his dad and sister and the dead cat!" I shouted, hoping they'd understand. They didn't.
"Harry mate, are you feeling alright?" Ron asked,
"Yes, no! I am okay, a flashback!" I cried out, "Nico, is You-Know-Who's friend!" Hermione whipped her head at Nico who was shaking in his chair.
"You're not a wizard, so what are you?" she asked with the ferocity of a tiger.
"A de-" he was suddenly cut off my a splash of water hitting the wall beside him.
"Ah HA!" Percy charged into the room, "Got you, you little stinky pants!"
"Oh my GODS Percy, that is the worst insult ever, and that's coming from me!" Jason screamed over the girly shrieks from Ron.
"STUPEFY!" Hermione cast the spell and it hit Annabeth straight in the chest. She fell to the ground with a thud.
"OH NO YOU DIDN'T!" Percy roared, he thrust his hands furiously at us. While we weren't looking, Nico slipped out his bonds and escaped to their side. Nothing happened.
Then, a monstrous wave hit us like a truck.
