Chapter 1 - Return of the Dark Lord
"Wormtail, I have wasted away. Somehow, I have become weak. Very weak." "Yes master. Would you like me to call a meeting?" Wormtail asked. "Yes, tell Lucius to bring the ruined diary." "I will. See you soon." With a crack, Wormtail Disapparated.
Lucius Malfoy felt the scar on his arm become warm. It was a picture of the Dark Mark. Before Malfoy Disapparated, a man named Peter Pettigrew Apparated. "Mr. Malfoy," he said. "Please bring the diary to the meeting." They both Dissaparated, and, seconds later, appeared at the meeting.
"Welcome back, fellow Death Eaters," a small figure greeted. "Master, is that you?" several Death Eaters asked at one, and began to whisper their surprise. "Silence," was the reply, in a cold voice. "Malfoy the diary, please." Lucius stepped up. "Here it is," he said, handing it to the figure. The thing took the ruined black book. "Now, I shall explain to you all: how I have wasted away..that Potter boy!" There were angry and murderous gasps from the crowd. "Shut up and let me speak! With this diary, if it has not been fully destroyed, I shall come back as my former sixteen year-old self. However, I need someone to give their life to bring the memory back. Anyone?" No one stepped up.
"I shall pick for you all if no one volunteers!" Wormtail stepped up. "Thank you Wormtail," the figure said. "With your help, Lord Voldemort shall rise again! I shall summon my former self." Voldemort opened the diary and Tom Riddle came out. Pettigrew instantly fell asleep. "Go on, there is no need to stay here," Tom waved his Death Eaters away. Several cracks were made as the Death Eaters Disapparated.
After a few hours, Peter Pettigrew was no more, and Tom Riddle was now a person. How good it felt to be young and to have a strong body! Tom Apparted to the edge of the Hogwarts grounds, and walked the other way, that he couldn't Apparate on. Soon, he reached the door of the castle and opened it. The teachers were meeting. Tom took out his wand. It felt good to be able to hold something again! Riddle snuck up to the room. "Obliviate," he yelled, thinking of the fact that he, Tom Riddle, was Lord Voldemort. Tom walked into the room. "Hello," he said. "Hello Tom," Professor Snape said. "Got prefect duties?" Tom hadn't remembered he was a prefect. "Um.yeah, sure, whatever." Prefect duties were a perfect opportunity to meet Harry Potter and somehow figure out how to kill him.
In the hallway, Tom passed many people, none of them Harry Potter. He walked up to a girl with red hair and freckles. She wore a Gryffindor prefect badge. "Hello, I'm Tom Riddle. Pleased to meet you." The girl became very pale. "Y-You t-too. T-Tom." The girl fainted. "Ginny!" one of the girls said. The girl looked at Tom and narrowed her eyes. "You're in trouble! I'm getting McGonagall. You didn't force feed her a Fainting Fancy, did you? Thought you could injure our best Chaser and lose the Quidditch match for us tomorrow? Our Seeker has fainted numerous times, too. It's not funny." The girl kept rambling on and on, but not watching him. Tom walked away and whispered the words, "Ginny Weasley," to himself.
Is that a good cliffie? Reviews please. Vote for a Ginny/Neville, Ginny/Tom, or Ginny/Harry couple, too. The winning couple is what that story will be about! (for the romance part!)
