Chapter 3. The training begins.

Harry Riddle woke slowly the next morning. He stood and yawned. He walked into the bathroom and cast a cleaning and drying spell on himself. He then walked down the stairs and into the common room. He sat down on a chair and started to think. He debated over the spells that he would teach Potter and whoever the boy brought. He decided to start small with a shield charm. He wondered if he was doing the right thing. He would stay in the common room until transfiguration began.

Harry Potter woke quickly and stood. He rushed into the bathroom and stripped and cut on the spray. He stepped under the water and sighed as it flooded down his body. He slathered himself with soap and shampoo. He finished and walked out of the shower and grabbed a towel and dried off. He was nervous and excited. He couldn't wait to learn more. He knew that he might should go to Dumbledore. But for some reason he did not trust the headmaster anymore. He was unsure as to why. Harry walked down into the common room and sat down on a couch and waited for Ron and Hermione to come down. So they could speak.

Hermione growled and bathed and dressed after drying. She walked down the stairs and saw Harry and Ron she walked over and cast a silencing spell then asked Harry.

"Well. What did he say?"

"He said to meet him after dinner today In the seventh floor corridor. I don't know beyond that. I am to bring whoever wants to learn. I am bringing you both. But maybe we should get others. We all need to learn."

Hermione nodded and ended the silencing spell. She stood and called Ginny over to them and explained the situation. Ginny nodded and agreed. She left to go and find Luna and tell her. Hermione went with Ginny.

Harry and Ron left the common room together and walked down the stairs and corridors and into the great hall. They sat down and started to eat contently. Knowing that soon they would be learning how to fight. They told the other Gryffindor's and were surprised when many nodded. They told them were to meet up that night. They stayed in the great Hall until it was almost time for class. Harry and Ron rushed into the transfiguration room and took their seats.

Harry Riddle was already there with Draco they were talking softly to each other. Nether paying attention. The class passed as normal as it could be. No one died or was injured. Riddle and Draco left and walked into Herbology and pair up with the others. Riddle to Potter as his partner and showed him how to lacerate a devil snare. He then demonstrated how to plant one correctly. Potter gulped and followed his partners instructions and made it through the class. Riddle rushed out the moment the class ended with Draco. Together they walked up into the seventh floor and into the room of requirement. Riddle then started to teach Draco high level dark spells.

Harry Potter sighed sadly and walked out of the class and went to dinner. They all ate in silence then once the meal ended they all went together into the seventh floor corridor and into the room of requirement. They looked around and gaped. Potter then smiled and spoke.

"So. This is the place. We will learn."

Harry Riddle smiled and walked out from the shadows. He had let Draco go a few minutes before. He spoke coldly.

"Alright. I am to teach you defensive magic's. If you don't want to survive and learn to be a better wizard Leave now. I will not be a easy teacher. I will train you as I was trained. You will become stronger through your challenges. I don't want to hear or see a fight. You are all allies and need to act it. Any questions?"

Ginny Raised her hand and spoke when she was called upon.

"Yeah. Is You-Know-Who really back?"

"yes. The dark lord has returned. Anything else?"

No one spoke. Many of the Gryffindor's and Ravenclaw's left the room and headed back to the dorms. The only one's left were Harry Potter, Ronald, Hermione, Ginny and Luna. No one else remained. They all felt that they would die soon anyway and that Riddle was no different than themselves.

Luna looked around and spoke.

"You are the adopted son of the Vampire King."

Riddle blinked and growled. He nodded and said.

"You are a seer."

Luna nodded and explained that sometimes she had visions but no prophecy's. She was uncertain as to what she was.

Harry riddle nodded and conjured a shield charm and then told them the spell and told them that the golden dome is the shield It would protect them. He sighed and demonstrated again. He smiled as they all understood and became able to cast and hold the shield though only for a short time. He growled as he realized that it would take awhile. He then held out a hand and a dummy materialized. He shouted. "Stupefy." The dummy was thrown hard against the wall. He then conjured up more dummies and told them to each practice on a dummy. He let them go as the curfew approached they all rushed from the room to their dorms.

Harry Potter stayed with Ginny and Hermione and Ron. They ran into the common room and sighed in relief they ached all over. They realized that Riddle was right it would never be easy. They now knew that it would hurt. But they also knew that they needed this. Potter growled and walked up into the dorm and lay down on his bed. He shut his eyes and went into a dreamless sleep exhausted and tired.

Ron, Hermione, and Ginny also went to bed soon after Harry Potter.

Harry Riddle walked into the Slytherin common room and glared at the children. He realized Draco was not there and he felt a dark mark behind him. He turned and saw Serverus and nodded and followed the spy into his private chambers. They sat down and began to talk. Serverus spoke first.

"Dumbledore needs to be removed. I am sorry."

"It is not your fault. I know that. You have done all you can do. I know what must be done. I have seen the worst in the world. I know that we are allies. I am nothing like Potter. I will train himself and his friends. In magic's they will learn under me. I will teach them the same way I was trained."

"I understand. But are you sure this is what has to happen?"

"Yes. I know that it is. I have calculated. And it will be many years until I am able to return to my world. I am unsure of how long it really will be. All I know is that it will be a very long time."

" I understand. I will leave you be now."

"Very well. I will go deal with Dumbledore now."

Harry Riddle then stood and vanished into the Headmasters office and flashed his fangs as the old man started to move. He hissed a spell and stunned the foolish one. He walked forward slowly and drew a claw down Dumbledore's chest slashing through the clothes and shredding them. He cringed as the old man was naked. He smiled darkly and bit him and drained his life away. Riddle smiled in ecstasy. He felt his body and power absorb Dumbledore's. His already impressive strength tripled. He dropped the now dead Headmaster and looked at Fawkes and asked.

"Happy now? He is dead forever."

( Yes. I am pleased. I realize that it was easy for you to do. I know what you are. You are now stronger than before. But do not fear. You have a purpose here. You must save this world from itself. The challenge will be nothing like your home world. Things are different here. I do not know of what you must do. Only that it is required for your entrance home. I promise I will protect you Riddle.)

"I know Fawkes. You are like me. Bound to something greater than any human. I fear I sense a growing darkness unlike anything I have ever felt. I was never as strong as I am now. I know what must be done. I will fight and win. And destroy the enemy before it annihilates the world. I am just unsure as to what the enemy is."

( I understand. I will gather information. Then I will return. Goodbye Savior.)

Fawkes vanished in a flash of flame.

Harry Riddle growled and vanished himself into his dorm and he lay down and closed his eyes and drifted into sleep. He dreamed that night.

Riddle walked along a pathway. He looked around and saw mists. He walked forward and felt himself falling. He cursed and used a spell and floated onto the water below. He walked forward and heard a voice "Chosen. You must accept your fate. Do not deny what you are to become. You must live for the world" Riddle growled and he turned and demanded. "What do you mean? I cannot die. I am unable to die. Explain. Who and what are you?" The voice chuckled and materialized in front of him into a faceless shadow then spoke. "In time you will learn. You must open the path for yourself. Now awaken chosen one."

Harry Riddle woke and sat up in bed and cast the tempus spell and saw that it was midnight. He growled and lay back down and tried to figure out the dream. He went into a light and dreamless sleep soon after.
