AN: Sorry for the long wait; had trouble on how to go about his chapter.

"Harry, it's been so long. I have tried to see you more but your father didn't want your choice to be clouded."

"Yes, sir, I know. I want to help our people. My mother might have been a mudblood and a person of the light but I am Dark through and through, Sir. However, I will tell you now that i will not follow you blindly. But. i will never follow the Light.

Severus looked from the Dark Lord and his son and back to the Dark Lord. The Dark Lord and severus looked eyes and Severus saw a look of surprise in the Dark Lord's eyes. Voldemort looks back at Harry. "I'm glad to hear that. I don't like my followers to follow me blindly. On another topic I'd like to know how you can understand me"

"Come off it. Of course I can understand you."

"I know you can; but you really shouldn't be able see I'm speaking in Parseltongue. The language of the snakes. It's a rare gift; the most famous parselmouth is Salazar Slytherin."

Gaping at him, Harry says "wouldn't I have known before that I could talk to snakes?"

"Well, have you been in the presence of a snake before?"

"No."

"Then, no you wouldn't have known."

"Oh…" Harry trails off. Then a question comes to mind, "am I related to Slytherin?"

"Lets see." He turns to Severus and switches to english. "Severus go get an inheritance potion from your stores."

"Yes, my Lord." Severus practically runs out of the room.

Once his father was out of the room Harry turned to the Dark Lord. "Why didn't you kill me when I was a baby? Why did you help my father? And why didn't you kill him?"

Sighing the Dark Lord starts his explanation, "I don't know why didn't kill you but I knew that I couldn't. And as for your father I couldn't let you grow-up without your family like I did. That is what I have always wanted and that I thought I couldn't for a long time."

Harry finally takes in the Dark Lord's appearance. He had brown hair. His face looks human and he had green eyes… 'Wait… I've had nightmares about that night and I remember a face that was more slender and no nose with red eyes. Why?' He decides to ask, "what happened to your face and eyes. They were more snake-like and your eyes were red. They were not a human face with green eyes. What happened?"

"I went back to my old appearance I had years ago. You see before I took on the persona of Lord Voldemort my name was Tom Riddle. And you can call me 'Tom' instead of the 'Dark Lord', 'My Lord', or 'Voldemort'. When you are older we will rule the world together."

"Alright, Tom. I look forward to it." At last Severus comes back in the room with a large black book. Severus brings it over to the table; the cover has the Prince coat of arms (a crown with a snake intertwining it). Tom takes the book and goes to the back. Looking at a page smirk grows on his face.

"Harry, to answer your question, yes we are related though distantly. You are one of Slytherin's last descendants."

"That's great, and my dad are going to Diagon Alley to get me school supplie. Do you want to come with us?"

"I'd love t,Harry." Turning to Severus,"call Lucius and tell him to bring Draco and Narcissa. We can do it all together."

"I'll go and call Lucius" He leaves again.

"Harry, are you willing to spy on Dumbledore for me. You don't have to because your father is. But it could always be useful."

"I don't want to get close to him, but I will tell you if I hear things."

Wounderful. Now,what house do you want to be in?"

Harry gives him an incredulous look and laughs; "Slytherin, of course."

"A new Prince of Slytherin is going to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I want you to be on the top of your class. And if there is someone better than you, you make it a good fight no matter what house."

"Always and maybe one day I'll give you a run for your money," Harry says seriously.

Tom Laughs. "Maybe, Harry. Just Maybe." Harry laughs as well. Severus, Lucius, Narcissa, and Draco walks into the room. The laughter stops and Harry walks over to his best friend and the other adults. "Hello, Lord and Lady Malfoy" Harry greats Draco's parents.

"Harry, how many times do I have to say to call me 'Narcissa'." Harry takes her hand and kisses it. Lucius nods to the heir to the Potter, Black, Prince, and Lupin lines. Harry turns to Draco and hugs him and whispers. "it's been to long."

"I know, Harry" he returns the hug. Tom gives Lucius and severus a confused look, but Harry sees it and lifts his head from Draco's shoulder and answers. "Don't worry me and Draco are just friends. We have been since were little, Tom. We are close."

"And why would I be worried , Harry, " Tom says in parseltongue.

"Because I know why you didn;t kill me ten secret is safe with me."

"And what secret would that be?"

"You care about me, Tom. that's why you didn't kill me. You took one look at me and couldn't do it. I'm your soft spot, Tom, and we both know it."

"Yes, I care about you. But you can not tell anyone, not even your father. I want to keep you s safe and I can't do that if people know that you are a way to get to me. They will purposefully go after you and I can't have that."

"I won't tell a single person,Tom. Lie I said you secret is safe with me.:

"How did you know."

"They way you act toward me. I can tell."

Draco interrupts them and in awe he says, "Harry, why didn't you tell me you spoke parseltongue?"

"I just found out, Dray," Harry said looking a little annoyed at his friend for interrupting Tom's and his conversation.

"Oh, ok. I can't believe I'm friends with the future Slytherin Prince."

Tom turns his attention to the Malfoy heir. "Yes, you are Draco. Don't mess that up." The threat there but well hidden that if he does mess up and hurts Harry he will have to deal with him.

The white haired boy looks at his lord in awe. 'I didn't know he knew my name,' thought Draco. "Yes My…." Tom cuts him off.

"Draco, my name is Tom. Please don't call me 'my Lord' That goes for all of you and the only time you are permitted to use that is when we are in a full meeting. I might be the Dark Lord but I don't want to be called that by the people that I consider my friends and family. I will and have trained the inner-circle personally and I consider every single one of you friends and family."

Harry smiles when everyone said "of course, Tom."

"Tom, I know that Bella, Lucius, and I consider you the father that was always there for us. You know how we both grew up and you still took us under your wing and trained us and pushed us to our limits but never pushed us past. That was more than what our so called 'families' did for us. I hope you know that when I went to Dumblefuck -pardon my language- that is was only to protect that only family I had left. You don't know this but Lilly was not just pregnant with Harry but his twin. Her name was going to be Hermione. She died after she was born and then the possibility to loose Lily less than two years after my daughter, I just couldn't let that happen. I know haven't said it yet or even given you this explanation, I'm saying it now. I'm sorry. Tom." Tom can see that the Potion's Master's facade was about to break for the first time in ten years. He goes over to hug him to comfort him in his grief. He knew that he was sorry and that Severus felt like shit about betraying him but he had forgiven him a long time ago.

Harry seeing what Tom saw he tries to bring the mood back to a lite mood says, "well, I do love the sentimentality but, can we go get mine and Draco's supplies for school." They start to laugh and then go to the floo and leave for the day.
