Well here we go. First little peak at Voldie. Hopefully this will clear up any confusion on his not cursing and killing like crazy personality. I think around the next chapter we will have more angles from other characters brought in. So cheers!

A/N: I dont own Harry Potter

Tom groaned as he retreated from his mind back into his own body. The boy was interesting. He had not understood their connection at first. After exploring it in many books he still had come up short. He could sense his own magic within Harry's side of the connection. That was his first clue in his research. As he had explored through many possibilities it had come down to three final conclusions.

"Nagini."

"Yes massster?"

"I'm overthinking things again aren't I?"

"Yessss."

"The boy isss a Horcrux. I'm going to have to convince him to side with me. It's the only way he will be ssssafe."

"Do you want to protect him? Or do you want to protect you?"

She slithered away from the room and he groaned again. There was her snappy dry mothering again. He knew she was right. He could never win the boy over if he tried to con the boy for his own benefit. It would be the best option to tell him. He just wasn't sure how to do that. For all of his genius he had never had to understand emotions. Growing up in the orphanage had allowed him to close them off. After splintering his soul beyond easy repair he had grown even more detached.

The process of making a horcrux required murder. The process of absorbing them required remorse for said murder. It was a hard concept for someone who was void of all emotion. After stumbling across more information about a Horcrux in Salazar Slytherin's personal library he realized how truly doomed he would be.

While a Horcrux would prevent his soul from being destroyed and hence keep him from dying it also had great cost. When he split his soul the first time it hadn't just taken a fraction it had taken an entire half of his whole soul. Each time there was one made his soul split in two. So the first time he was left with half of a soul which put half of it in the diary. The second was in the Gaunt ring leaving it with twenty-five percent of his soul. His ancestors locket gained another roughly twelve percent. Ravenclaws Diadem at number four had gained only a mere six-percent of his soul. The final Inanimate object of Hufflepuff's cup was given another three percent. Nagini coming to be the last he had made knowingly had taken another one and a half percent which left him with only one and a half percent to his own body.

The process had left him immensely unstable and had probably caused the majority of his sanity to crumble. This had left him unable to properly process his thoughts as he had been able to in his youth. Hunting down the Potters had been an insane idea but in his confused rage he hadn't noticed that. It wasn't until after he had absorbed back the majority of his soul during his exile that he had begun to realize how insane he had really become. When he had attacked Harry it had been a mix of the magic from their creature inheritance and his lack of soul that had caused his soul to be cast from his body. With his remaining partially over one percent he had passed just barely point seventy-five percent on to Potter.

When Potter had destroyed the diary the half that had been stored inside came to merge with him in Albania where he had hidden once again after losing Quirrell as a host. The reclaiming of that portion of his soul had caused him to seriously rethink most of his later plans. After deciding to reclaim the majority of his Horcruxes he had become much clearer and his ability to think had become less clouded by rage. His ability to control his own creature side had become much clearer as well.

This had led him to the discovery that Potter was a Horcrux. Basing his absorption on the percentages he had discovered he decided to leave Potter and Nagini and absorbed the rest of his roughly ninety-eight percent. The regained control of his creature blood had been a large help factor on his returning rise to power. His followers had realized that he was in fact the Heir of Slytherin and controlled an ability that was lost to old families. Creature blood was in many of the pure blood lines. The reason they refused to intermingled with muggles was mainly due to the fact that they tended to freak out and the blood usually either became very diluted or immensely powerful. While in some cases the magic level was higher the creature blood was next to nothing. Or they couldn't handle the creature and lost control and were stuck in complete creature form.

The latter risk had happened far more often and had resulted in a loss of magical blood when they spent the rest of their lives in a creature form unable to revert back to their human side. This usually happened in cases where they were the result of squibs who had gone into the muggle world and married and reproduced with muggles. Without guidance from the ancestors who controlled the gift it had resulted in offspring in strictly animal form which had caused major depletion of the magical bloodlines. The sad shame was that Pureblood families had deduced those ideals of their ancestors into a ban on interbreeding with muggles based on blood superiority.

Blood superiority had come about some time between Salazar Slytherin and his generation. He couldn't quite pinpoint when exactly the belief had become so widespread. However the belief had caused the pureblood ideas to become huge in the magical community and lead to the state of things at his rise to power. While it was not his desire to completely eradicate muggles he did have the belief that they needed to separate from them and have protections in place for the Muggleborns.

Old bloodlines had been forced over the years to change their traditions and their beliefs to make muggleborns more accepting of the magical world. The idea that new blood would come in and force them to change was not a good tradition. The unhappy pure blood elite had grown tired of having to change and had since begun to look down on the Muggleborn class.

The muggleborns were however necessary. They brought in fresh blood to the families that would prevent damage from interbreeding. The Black family had inherited the Black Madness as it had become to be called. A genetic form of insanity that resulted from interbreeding. The Pure lines that were left were producing generationally weaker and weaker offspring until the addition of new fresh blood would provide an increase of power. This was why in most cases with the families that had blood traitors their offspring would be significantly stronger than a cousin from the same line that had instead interbred with another Pure line.

The magical community needed to be open to allowing muggleborns in and accepting them into their families in forms that would allow magic to thrive and not become diluted. They needed to become stronger and not be weakened by the diseases and impurities such as the Black Madness or like the Gaunts becoming little more than drunk muggles who could produce the magic of a child,

He had set out to change these things in his youth but had quickly become blinded and lost his way as he had risen in power and lost more and more of his sanity. Thankfully with Potter having aided in the return of his sanity he was once again thinking clearly and would need to come up with a plan to dodge the old meddling fool and help save the magical community. And he would need Potter by his side to do it.

Nagini was right. He would have to tell the boy the truth. He suspected Dumbledore knew and had attempted to plan a way to destroy both of them and continue with his ruling of the magical world. Pulling Harry to his side may not only save his life but the boy's life as well.
