Chapter sixteen:
Snape's face relaxed from it's expression of rage, Harry guessed that was because he was away from Ambrous. "Potter" Snape said curtly as he took a seat on a cushy chair opposite of Harry, whom was still on the bed.
"Sn-" Harry paused before correcting himself, he didn't feel like getting detention "Professor Snape"
Severus wanted to nod in approval, the boy was finally learning, but he didn't, he had a reputation to uphold after all. Instead Severus crossed his legs and put his hands together in his lap. "Have you made a decision yet?"
Harry blinked once then twice, finally it hit him about what Snape was talking about, Tom. A surge of anger filled Harry, Snape had no right whatsoever to barge into his rooms and ask that question. Instead of being nice about it Harry looked challenging at Snape "I didn't know there was a decision to be made" there was a mocking tone to Harry's voice.
Severus' eyes narrowed, okay so perhaps the boy wasn't learning after all, "Well there is Potter" Snape nearly snarled "I shouldn't be surprised that you were to thick to see it"
Harry's eyes narrowed as well, and a glaring contest had started! "Well, I'm sorry if you are never quite clear" of course Harry was also talking about Severus' teaching and Severus knew this.
"If you'd listen, for once in you're life, then you'd get my meaning" Severus threw back.
Both of them went into a silence that when you see between two people you duck and cover. On the outside on one would be able to tell which held more anger and hatred at that moment. Finally remembering why he decided to be in the presence of Potter on his own accord, Severus stopped glaring.
"Listen Potter, Tom has changed" it almost came out as a sigh.
"Yea, into a five year old, I noticed" Harry's voice dripped with venom and sarcasm.
"That's not what I meant, and he's not a five year old anymore" if Harry didn't know any better he would have sworn Snape wanted to stick out his tongue.
"So what? Is he six now?" More sarcasm.
"No" Snape almost seemed to have a childish voice to him "He's actually back more-or-less to his teenage self."
"And that just makes him a whole lot better?" Harry raised an eyebrow at Snape.
Sighing, Snape pushed up his left sleeve, the only way the boy was going to believe Tom had changed was if he showed him. Severus pushed his bare arm forward to show to Harry. Shock was written all over Harry's face. Slowly, Severus pulled his sleeve down and calmly spoke to Harry.
"I know he has caused you pain beyond what anyone can comprehend. He has killed your parents, he tried to kill you, and he killed Cedric Diggory, making your life a living hell. He tricked you by playing the part of a five year old, and in the end it caused him to change. He is asking for a second chance at life, not many people get that chance"
Silence feel over them both. Snape was looking at Harry, waiting for him to speak. But Harry remained quiet.
The Snape spoke again "Everyone deserves a second chance Harry"
Harry looked up in surprise when Snape said his first name. Severus had gotten out of his chair and made his way to the exit without another word. When Severus finally left, Harry was left alone with his thoughts.
It was then that a thought hit Harry ~ I am truly alone. ~
~~
Tom cursed vividly as he paced up and down the halls of Riddle Manor, he had been doing this ever since he heard that Lucius had come back. He couldn't let the deranged blonde do this, not if he wanted a renewed peaceful life ~ That's IF Harry forgives you ~ Tom ignored that little voice.
And besides that, Tom was still the Dark Lord! He may have given up his Death Eaters but he never gave up claim of being a Dark Lord.yet. Thinking and pondering, Tom tried to piece together what he was going to do. He could easily kill Lucius, do the world a favor.but then he thought about Harry and the urge to roll his eyes came back.
Killing Lucius would prove to Harry that Tom hadn't changed.~ Wait, why are you so eager to please Harry Potter? You are Tom Riddle, Voldemort, The Dark Lord, and you are worried about what a fifteen year old brat thinks ~ Tom stopped all pacing to think about that last thought, the little voice was right! Why should he care? Why did he care in the first place? He should kill off Potter along with Lucius!
Tom had started smiling sinisterly but then stopped as his eyes caught sight of an old photo. It was a wizards picture, were the people and things moved. He remembered placing it there, on a little table in the hall, when he had first found this place, a long time ago. The picture itself showed two boys (whom were waving and smiling), both with black hair, one with green eyes while the other had to different colored eyes, one green and one blue. The boys in the picture were 12 years old. Him and Ambrous.
He looked blankly down at the picture, remembering his old friend, who was now a portrait on the wall guarding the Slytherin Head Boy rooms. When Tom had first created the Death Eaters he had invited Ambrous, but his friend declined his answer, and the two never talked after that, never really even saw each other. He had heard about Ambrous dying at the hands of his Death Eaters, it had taken 10 Death Eaters total to take down his old school mate.
Placing the picture down, Tom turned on his heel and headed for the door, Lucius Malfoy didn't stand a chance, not while the Dark Lord was still there!
