~*~*~*~
Harry had a feeling deep within his stomach that something dreadful was about to happen. The feeling increased more then double when the Great Hall doors opened and there stood Albus and Snape with a little baby in the Headmasters arms. The baby had stopped crying but looked like it was hyperventilating. It's little chest going up and down as it's face was contorted in a curious expression mixed with a little bit of fear. Needless to say, but it will be said anyway, all the girls 'awwed' in sync with each other (and I don't mean the band). The little child looked even more afraid as it seemed to try and hide deeper into the robes it was wrapped in.
The Headmaster smiled and shifted his arms so that the baby was even more secure. He walked right up to where Harry was sitting and beamed at the confused boy. "Harry! After breakfast, would you come to my office?"
~As if I had a choice anyway.~ was the thought that went through Harry's head though he nodded anyway. The Headmaster beamed all the more while a certain Potions Master could be seen rolling his eyes. The two older men left for the Head Table with Albus playing with the baby as Snape went quickly to his chair, as to get away from the green eyed little monster (And it's not Harry this time! ^.^).
"What a cute baby!" Minerva squealed as she sat next Albus, once again Snape rolled his eyes. He vaguely wondered what would happen if he told her that the baby was once the feared Lord Voldemort. That brought a smile to his lips.
Over at the Gryffindor table just about everyone was trying to get a look at the new little addition to Hogwarts, which was busy trying to make it's grand escape from the Headmaster's arms. It seemed that only The Golden Trio wasn't trying to get a glance at the squirming bundle of cuteness, if only because they were trying to figure out why the Headmaster wanted to see Harry after breakfast. Then an idea struck Hermione, since she is the smartest of the three.
"Do you think.it has to do with the baby?" she asked carefully, not really sure how to word her theory.
"What?" Ron had the most confused expression on his face which oddly enough suited him "But what would Harry do with a baby?"
"Raise him" was the simple answer. "But it's not my kid!" Harry said in a hushed whisper as they were starting to draw attention to them.
"And if it was Tom?" That simple question shut Harry AND Ron up, but not for long.
"Tom RIDDLE?" Ron stressed the Riddle out a bit too much.
"What other Riddle would I be talking about?" Hermione was now getting snapish "You said he was taking a type of youth potion that will also help clear memories right?"
Harry had indeed told them that, in fact he had told them everything. With a butter beer in one hand and the other tracing patterns on the table, he told them it all, without one trace of emotion or so it seemed. Trying to take in all that Hermione was telling him he tried to defend that he would have nothing to do with a baby.
"But he was going to be turned into a five year old?" Harry stated strongly.
"You know Dumbledore, he'd undoubtedly changed the potion!" was Hermione's answer and Ron just sat on the sidelines looking back and forth.
"I'm to young to take care of a baby"
"You were about to take care of a five year old, certainly you could give a baby a try"
"That would be diapers!" a disgusted look.
"Were you ever planning on having children?"
"Yes.."
"Then you would have to deal with diapers eventually!"
The little argument went on in that style for the remaining time of breakfast whereas Ron was starting to get a headache from moving his head back and forth so fast. Finally the bell rang for there first class so Ron and Hermione zipped to their first class. Harry made the treacherous journey to the Headmaster's office, hoping beyond hope that Hermione was wrong..but he doubted it.
When he got to the gargoyle it automatically opened to show the Headmaster. "Oh! My boy, I was just about to retrieve you. Come in!"
Harry followed the way-too-happy Dumbledore into his office to stop at the sight of Severus Snape, the greasy git and evil Potions Master sitting in a chair, with a baby in his lap. Not to mention bouncing said baby on his knee.
Snape turned his body around at Harry, still bouncing the baby on his knee, and snarled at Harry. "What are you staring at Potter?"
"N-n-nothing, Professor" he managed to stutter out.
"Take a seat Harry" Dumbledore said motioning to the seat next to Snape, Harry quickly sat down. Albus sat behind his desk and put his hands together, smiling.
"You.wanted.to see me, sir?" Severus wanted to snicker when he heard the gulp from Harry.
"Why yes, Harry" The Headmaster's eyes twinkled all the more and Harry wondered if he should be scared "You see, it has to do with that little lad over there"
Albus pointed to little Tom on Snape's lap. Tom was giggling happily as he was bounced and Snape looked tired of bouncing.
Another gulp from Harry and this time Severus did snicker "What do you mean Headmaster?"
"What he's saying Potter is that this .thing here" He turned Tom to face Harry "Is Tom Riddle. The ex-Dark Lord" The baby simply gurgled happily.
"I knew that sir.."
"Then you'll be happy to know that you'll be the one to take care of him!" Albus looked extremely happy.
"But.but" Harry desperately searched for an excuse and found one "The Dursleys would never allow me to have a baby at their house over the summer!"
"My dear boy, under these circumstances you will be allowed to stay here at Hogwarts" Dumbledore said kindly. And that one sentence alone made Harry throw away all doubts and he quickly agreed.
"Good" Snape sneered as he handed Tom over to Harry. Two sets of green eyes locked onto one another and Harry smiled softly.
"Maybe it won't be that bad." Harry was cut off from saying anything more when little baby Tom threw up all over him.
All that could be heard was Severus Snape snickering, though a certain Headmaster had to hide his laugh behind his hand..
~The next day~
Outside of Riddle Manor, charmed so that only magical people could see was a small black marble shrine. It was colored with black and white roses. The symbolism of good and evil. On the headstone itself read the words.
'Lord Voldemort aka He-who-must-not-be-named
One of the most feared Dark Lords. May the end of his reign keep in this shrine'
Standing before that very shrine was a young boy.no man and a small baby in a stroller. Harry Potter laid a gray rose on the grave of his enemy and faced his new little challenge. Little Tom Riddle looked somber at the grave, as if he knew what it was. But.he couldn't, not really. Albus and Severus had made sure that Tom's past memory was lost forever.
It was now time for a new but interesting beginning. And slowly Harry rolled Tom away from the shrine.
The Dark Lord was forever gone.

END!
It is finished! The story that took a little over a year to complete (due to the author being lazy). I have one question to ask. Anyone up for a sequel? Let me know in a review! Until then!
