sparkling silver angel wings- Thanks! And you can go ahead and hug Tom. Just be careful, he might break.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Harry sighed as Pansy filed her nails. He never thought it possible but he found someone worse for a Potion's partner then Draco. Sneaking a glance at Pansy, he was rather surprised when he was glaring hatefully at him.

"What are you staring at?" Harry quickly replied "Nothing...."

After she went back to filing her nails he muttered darkly "As if you should be talking..."

"I heard that Potter" was Pansy's reply. Scooting away from her so that he was nearly at next desk over, which was Seamus and Crabbe, he continued on with his potion. When he got to the point where he was supposed to wait for it to boil over he leaned back in his chair.

"What potion are we doing, anyway?" Seamus asked him as he tried to get away from Crabbe.

"You don't know!?" Harry looked at Seamus bewildered.

"No. Do you?"

"....Umm..." a nervous laugh escaped Harry and Seamus rolled his eyes. Hermione, who overheard their conversation like a good little prefect, turned to them from the desk in front of them.

"I can't believe you two. We're doing the shield potions. You know, what Professor Lupin was telling us about?" She asked giving them looks of doubt that they would even pay attention in DADA.

"Oh, so that's what we're doing..." Harry trailed off, looking back at his potion and Seamus nodded, signaling that he understood.

~*~ And so time passes on to near the end of class~*~

It was almost the end of class (Told you so) and Harry was completing his potion by stirring it clockwise 15 times.

"14...15" He ended the counting and stirring. Taking out the glass stirrer, he placed it next to the cauldron and waited for Snape to come and check the potion. The greasy, or rather slick, headed Potions Master came by, he grudgingly admitted that it was an "Okay" potion and awarded Slytherin 10 potions. Which made a certain pug-faced Pansy smug.

"You poor stupid Gryffindor, you never get any points, do you?" she taunted Harry, who at the moment opted to ignore her "It's really a shame. At this rate, Slytherin will win the house cup"

Calmly, Harry turned to Pansy and tilted his head to the side as if she was something curious. Leaning a little closer, he squinted at a random spot on her face. "Hey Pansy, is that a pimple?"

Going wide-eyed, Pansy dove for her bag and brought out a mirror. While she checked every inch of her face, Harry packed up his stuff, put the potion in a vile and turned that in to Snape. After all this, Pansy was still checking to see if she had a pimple. "Where? I don't see one! Wait...is that one?"

Harry rolled his eyes and went over to where Ron and Hermione were.

"You might want to ask Snape if you can go get Tom now, Harry" Hermione suggested and Ron showed his agreement by nodding.

"Alright, I'll be right back" Harry went straight over to Snape.

"Excuse me, sir. But may I go get Tom?" He asked pointing to Snape's office. The Potions Master sneered at him then led him to the office. Snape opened the door and let Harry inside, who went right to the play pen.

When Harry peered into the play pen, he's face went pale and eyes went wide. Tom was no where in sight (Could you not see that coming?)

From the door Snape saw that there was no movement in the pen and Harry was acting as if he saw Tom just turn back into Voldemort.

"Mr. Potter, I suggest going to the Headmaster. I'll have the students go and search the castle." Harry nodded and bolted to Dumbledore's office.

Snape went back into his classroom and bellowed out "Everyone! We have a missing baby and we need to find him. So, get into groups of twos and search the hallways, classrooms, and—Just plain search everywhere!"

And so the great Tom-hunt began.

~*~ In a random Hallway~*~

Crawling down the dim corridor, Tom made his way to the end of it which was a dead end. Sitting down and facing the dead end wall, the baby put a chubby hand on it. Putting another hand along with the first, he tried to stand up and got half-way there before falling down on his arse.

He started to sniffle and tears welled up in his eyes. He was lost and couldn't understand why. All he did was get out of the little prison. That's all.

Where was the green eyed man? Or the bushy haired girl? Red head? Or even the blonde?

Whimpers came out of Tom and tears started to roll down his cheeks. His chest went up and down with breathing hard and very close to hyperventilating.

Even seeing the greasy man with the big nose would have been wonderful for little Tom.

~*~ In Hogsmeade~*~

Walking down the dirt roads of Hogsmeade was a cloaked woman who kept her head down so that no one could see her face. She walked at fast speed and was heading in the direction of Hogswart. Soon, she would be there. By nightfall, she'd be at the doors of the castle. She had patience. She could wait until nightfall.

When she got to the point to where she could see the Hogwarts castle, she stopped and stared.

"Soon enough, my Lord. We will be together again"

~*~ Dumbledore's office~*~

On the Headmaster's desk, Dumbledore was sorting out the different colors of Skittles. So far, he had gotten the red, purple, and green all sorted. Now he was starting on the orange and then all that would be left was yellow.

He got his pile of orange skittles started when Harry Potter barged his way into his office. Needless to say that was probably the first time he was ever surprised.

"Good thing I keep a list of candy names in my pocket for times like these" Harry breathed out, stuffing a little piece of paper into his robe.

"Headmaster!" the green eyed boy shouted, standing in front of Albus' desk "We have a problem!"

The headmaster looked at all the scattered skittles on his desk. When Harry had came in, he was so surprised that he swiped at his candy, making them all messed up and out of color order.

"We seem to have a lot of those, don't we?" sighed the grief stricken Headmaster who looked longingly at his poor skittles.
