Chapter Six: Tom Riddle

  Lucius was worried at how exactly the Dark Lord was going to take this recent news. He just hoped that Tom would be able to help find his sister and niece, it would definitely mean a lot to him and Remus. Lucius wondered if Severus had gotten the boys yet and how Harry was handling the letter. It would defiantly be shocking but he just hoped for Severus's sake and the boys that he would accept it and give Severus the chance to be the father that he was meant to be.

Lucius rounded the corner to the library in the Riddle Mansion where The Dark Lord was reading. The letter was clutched tightly in his hand as he knocked on the obsidian double doors. A faint "Come in." reached his ears and he silently pushed open the doors and walked in.

  Tom Riddle, or Voldemort to his enemies, had been reading up on the originations of the Unforgivables when he heard someone approach the doors to his private library. He knew of on two people that would be coming here at this time in the morning. Lucius Malfoy or Severus Snape. These two men where two of his most loyal followers and because of this they were ranked above all of the other Deatheaters, they were his consort. So it was not to his surprise when Lucius walked through the double doors and sat down across from him.  But he was rather surprised to see him pale and shaking.

  "What has brought you here at this time in the morning?" Tom asked questioningly. He watched as Lucius raised his head up to meet his eyes and lay a letter onto his desk in front of him.

"My Lord, Severus just brought me this letter and we felt that it was of absolute importance that read it. It has some rather sensitive and disturbing information in it. If you would like me to leave I will." Lucius said quietly as he watched Tom pick up the letter.

Tom looked up at Lucius and seen that he was still rather distressed about what this letter had contained and he realized that what ever was in the letter would be a shock, he thought that it would probably be better if he was alone so he didn't start hexing Lucius just because he was there. What he wouldn't do for that sniveling Wormtail to be here. "I think that it would probably be safer for you to wait for me out in the Kitchen." He said as he looked back down at the letter in his hands. When he seen who the letter was sent to he glanced down at the bottom of the parchment to see who it had been from.

   James Potter.

Well this had definitely been unexpected. It wasn't every day that he was given a letter from someone that he had killed sixteen years ago. Not dwelling on that thought he started reading the letter.

 Harry landed in an ungraceful pile as he fell out of the fireplace. He felt strong arms pulling him up and when he looked to see who was helping him he smiled slightly. "Thanks, Professor Snape." Harry said looking nervously around the room. He smiled when he saw that Remus was sitting and talking with Draco's mother and Draco was lying on the couch.  He guessed that whatever the reason he had been brought here it wasn't with the intent to hurt him. That was a relief.

 Severus watched Harry look around the room to the other three occupants and then realizing there was no threat his posture relaxed. Now was the time to drop the bomb, before Lucius got back.

 "Harry the reason that you and Draco where brought here was that it was not safe for me to tell you what you had to know with Dumbledore around." Severus said taking a deep breath wondering and hoping that Harry would accept the truth. "Earlier I got a letter that has brought up some rather serious things. They involved Remus, your mother, yourself and myself. The letter that I got was from James Potter." He saw Harry's eyes widen at this revelation. "I think that you had best read the letter for yourself so that you can see that we are not lying to you. After you read the letter I will tell you what has happened tonight and what I think will be happening in the future." He said firmly as he laid the letter in his son's hands.

Harry looked at the yellowed piece of parchment with a mixture of emotions. It obviously wasn't a happy letter by the seriousness of everyone around him and this made him dread reading the contents of the letter. He wasn't sure if he wanted to know what secrets this piece of paper held, although if he were lucky it would explain why Dumbledore was so keen on making him into a mindless puppet. Oh he had learned last year that he was just a weapon to the esteemed Headmaster, especially when Dumbledore knew the real reason behind his resorting. He knew the extent of Hermione's abuse by Ron's hand but he did nothing about it. It was then he had lost all respect for the aged wizard.

  With a deep breath he prepared him self as he opened the letter and started reading. He was shocked at first to find out what the letter was about but the further he read his shock turned to anger and then by the time that he read the last sentence his anger had turned to rage.  Harry was having an extremely hard time trying to keep his magic in check, but everything was turning into a blur he couldn't see anything his ears were ringing, his heart pounding in his chest. He felt like he was about reading to explode.

 Severus was the first to realize something was wrong. He had been watching Harry as he read the letter, and he had saw the various flickers of emotion pass over his face, he was startled when he saw the look of pure rage and unadulterated hate pass over his features as he read the last of the letter. And then there was nothing. Harry's face had gone absolutely blank, no emotion no nothing. And then he saw it. The flash of silver that engulfed his body for a split second, if he had blinked he would have never seen it. He had seen the same thing happen once before. To Lily, when she was surrounded by Potter, Pettigrew and Black after she had been resorted into Slytherin. They had been harassing her, making snide comments and derogatory remarks about why she had wanted to be resorted. She had kept her calm until Potter had said some thing extremely disgusting and had backed her up against the wall pinning her there. That was when she snapped. She had managed to wandlessly throw Potter into Black and Pettigrew and unconsciously cast a mild pain curse at the three of them.

  It was right then he realized that if they didn't get Harry calmed down they would all be in danger. "REMUS, DRACO, NARCISSA CAST THE STRONGEST SHEILING CHARMS THAT YOU KNOW ON HARRY NOW!" Severus screamed at the other three people in the room. They needed to get him back under control, before he hurt himself or someone else. Three seconds later four shielding charms simultaneously hit Harry in the chest engulfing his body in a white light and then he crumpled to the floor.

 Tom set the letter down on his desk in front of him. He could feel the tears streaming down his face. He was grateful that Lucius had left; he didn't want to be seen at his most vulnerable time. He had killed his only daughter, and had tried to kill his grandson on more than one occasion. That was unforgivable. He hated himself.

  The lengths that the muggle loving old fool had taken to make sure that he never found out what had happened to his wife made him furious. And to think that he had done the same thing to Severus and Lily, so that he could have Severus as a spy and to have their child, his only grandson, to manipulate and form into the only weapon that could defeat him. It sickened him. He hoped that he would see Dumbledore soon. For the first time he wanted to kill him with his bare hands. For taking away the only woman that he ever loved and for putting his daughter in middle of their fight, knowing that she would be killed. And then most of all he wanted to kill the old man because of his manipulations in his grandson's life. Of all of the pain that he had dealt Harry himself, something that would have never happened if he had known the truth.

  Standing up quickly he walked to the door and threw it open and swiftly walked into the Kitchen where Lucius was waiting. "Has Severus gone to get Harry?"

 "Yes, My Lord. He and Remus where leaving at the same time that I had left to come here. I imagine that they are back at the Manor. He was waiting to tell Harry there so not to risk Dumbledore finding out." Lucius said standing and following Tom into the sitting room.

  "Summon Wormtail once we get back to the manor. I think that he would be a worthy gift to the Werewolf. For a step in the direction of forgiveness." Tom said as he stopped and looked out the window. " I think that it is time for me to meet my grandson, in better terms this time. When Wormtail arrives do not tell him what has happened. Take him to the Manor dungeons and bind him to prevent him from shifting into his nasty little habit." He said and walked over to the fireplace. He motioned for Lucius to go first.

 Lucius stepped into the fireplace after grabbing a handful of floo powder he called out "Malfoy Manor" and disappeared. A few seconds later Tom followed.
