Harry Potter & the Return to Honeychurch Institute of Magic
By Darkmoore
"Ready to go home?" asked Harry.
"Yeah," Tommy replied, "I like that feeling."
Chapter Thirteen: Taking A Trip On A Train
Harry and Tommy had returned from Diagon Alley that day and knowing full well that there was a surprise party waiting for him; Harry had sent Tommy into the kitchen to tell everyone they had returned. Harry had also instructed Tommy to tell them to not yell surprise because he already knew all about it.
Harry listened at the door to the kitchen and smiled when he heard Mrs. Weasley say, "What do you mean he knows all about the party?"
Falling against the door in a fit of laughter, he fell into the kitchen with everyone looking at him like he was mental. Then they all started laughing at him as well. It had ended up being a very nice evening for them all.

About a month after Harry's birthday party, the residents of Grimmauld Place were getting ready for another school year. It had been an exciting month for Harry and Tommy. Harry and Vesta had done everything they could think of with Tommy, even taking him to a Muggle amusement park.
However, this morning found Harry in bed sleeping along side his lovely lady when Dobby popped into the room and said, "Harry Potter, Harry Potter, you's is getting up now."
Harry muttered something in his sleep and tried to roll over but since Vesta was laying on top of him, he didn't do very well and simply fell back to sleep.
"Harry Potter, you's is making Dobby promise to be getting you up this morning and you's is getting up."
Again Harry muttered sleepily and did nothing.
Dobby sighed and said, "Harry Potter, this is you's last warning before I's is taking drastic steps."
Harry didn't stir, but this time Vesta woke up. "Good morning Dobby," she said sleepily and started to get out of bed.
"Good morning missy," Dobby said to her and then turned his attention back to Harry, shook his head and said, "You's is leaving Dobby no choice." Then the elf snapped his fingers and placed an instant freezing charm on Harry's boxers.
Needless to say, Harry woke up this time. He sat upright almost immediately and grabbed his boxers in a vain attempt to warm himself. Dobby popped away as Vesta fell on the floor laughing at him.
"This is not funny Vesta," Harry said as he began to rip his underwear off as fast as possible.
"Yes it is."
- - - - -
After Harry had dressed and had a very warm shower, he arrived in the library to kept decorate for Tommy's early birthday party. Since his birthday would be on September the first, they would all be far away from Grimmauld Place, Harry and Vesta would have returned to Honeychurch and Tommy and Nanny Talmadge would be arriving at De Zauberei Akademie of Switzerland. (That would be the Magical Academy of Switzerland)
"Do you think he'll like his party?" Harry asked worriedly.
"Yes, he will Harry," Vesta answered him. "Who did you invite anyway?"
"Well, he doesn't have any friends his own age, so I invited us, Remus and Tonks, Hermione and Ron, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Professor Dumbledore, Fred and George, the elves and Nanny Talmadge. I invited Ginny also, but she's really busy getting the kids ready for schools right now, so I don't expect her to show up."
Vesta stopped what she was doing and looked at Harry, "You invited Ron and Tonks both? I thought they didn't like Tommy."
"Tonks promised me she would behave and actually she has been nicer to him lately and Hermione told me that she would work on Ron. So I figure with both her and his mother here, he would either behave or get the dickens smacked out of him," explained Harry with a smile.
Vesta got an amused look on her face as she remembered the Weasley matriarch in action. However, she changed the subject knowing would begin to worry that no one would appear at the party. "Harry, you said Ginny had to get the kids ready for school. How many of them have you persuaded to come to Honeychurch?"
"All of them until Albus showed up at the Facility earlier this summer, now I'm down to just over half of them. He seemed to think it was funny that he was able to steal them away like that."
"So our first year class this year is going to be a large group isn't it?" Vesta asked thinking about how she was going to handle that many eleven years old at once.
"We had classes that large when we were in Hogwarts, we can handle it," Harry said excitedly.
She looked at him and said, "Harry, you've never taught a group that large before."
"Yes, I have. Last year I had the all the sixth and seventh years in one class together and when I was Head Boy at Hogwarts I taught the first and second years Defense classes. They were all large groups," Harry said matter-of-factly.
"You taught when you were Head Boy?" Vesta asked, very impressed with him.
"Uh huh, Dumbledore had hired a vampire named Denholm Thorgood to teach that year and the Board of Governors wouldn't let him near the younger children. Which was too bad, he was one of the best teachers I ever had," Harry said and them remembered sadly out load, "And a good friend as well."
She heard the note of sadness in his voice and wondered what had happened to the vampire to make Harry miss him so much. However, she was afraid of what the answer might be and there was no need to make him even sadder on what would hopefully be a happy day.
- - - - -
Some time later, after most of the guests had arrived; Nanny Talmadge went upstairs and woke young Tommy up. Groggily the boy slipped down the stairs and started to make his way in the kitchens for breakfast. However, he was redirected into the library by his nanny without even realizing it.
Upon opening the sliding doors to the library Tommy was shocked by a resounding, "SURPRISE!"
Even the little corn snake, that had crawled up through Tommy's hair, hissed at the surprise. Tommy had named the snake Maize after he read the book about the care of snakes Harry had bought him. He couldn't think of a better name and snakes don't generally have names anyway.
"Happy birthday Tommy," Harry said as he went over and picked him up and took him over a large stack of presents on the library table.
"It's not my birthday yet," Tommy said as he grabbed the first wrapped gift.
Dumbledore chuckled, "That's true enough, however everyone will be at their different schools that day and we wanted you to have this party. You don't mind do you?"
"No," Tommy giggled, "I don't mind, Uncle Albie." Then Tommy attacked the first gift with gusto, which happens to be from Remus Lupin. Remus had given Tommy a picture book about magical creatures, which Tommy thought was brilliant. "Thank you Remus."
The werewolf smiled and said, "You're welcome Tommy."
Tommy opened several more gifts which all turned out to be books, but it was when he opened a long thin box that he was truly stunned. "A broom! I got a broom!" yelled an excited six year old. "Thank you Harry, thank you!"
Hermione looked over at him and said, "You got him a broom?"
"It's a Cleansweep Junior, it doesn't go that fast or very high off the ground," said Harry. "Every kid needs a broom at least once in their life."
Before anyone could say anything else, Tommy was on the broom flying around the room.
"Weeeeeeeee!"
- - - - -
Later in the afternoon, after the party was over with and Tommy finally changed out of his pajamas, they were all sitting down to have lunch, before they left for King's Cross Station.
"Have you gotten everything packed for the trip?" Harry asked Tommy.
"I think so, haven't I Nanny?"
"Yes, dear, I think everything is packed except for your birthday presents and your pet," Zinnia replied.
"Maize can ride in my hair, she likes that," Tommy said.
"I don't think the train conductors will Tommy," Harry said sagely.
Tommy grinned and said, "Who's going to tell them?"
- - - - -
Sometime later as they stood on the platform at Kings Cross Station Tommy asked, "Harry, where are your trunks?"
"Oh, they're back at the house with Dobby, waiting on me to return to go to Honeychurch."
Tommy pouted for a moment, "Didn't you want to ride on the train with me to your school?"
"I would have liked to, but you aren't going to Honeychurch with me, your going to your own school. It's in Switzerland and Nanny Talmadge and Maize will be there with you," explained Harry.
Tears began to form in his eyes and Tommy asked, "Don't you want to be with me anymore? Did I do something to make you not like me?"
"Of course not Tommy, I like you just the same as I always have. You just need to go to school and be with children your own age."
Tommy's young face soon began to flow with silent tears, "You work at a school, why can't I go to school with you? I wouldn't be much trouble, I promise I wouldn't."
"I work at a school for bigger kids; you'd have no one to play with there, no one to learn with. At the school in Switzerland, you'd have all kinds of boys and girls your age to make friends with and to get into trouble with. You'll be so busy; you won't even have time to think about me," described Harry with as much enthusiasm as he could muster.
"I don't want them, I want you," Tommy said as he launched himself at Harry and buried his face into Harry's neck and began to sob openly.
"Tommy," Harry said gently, "it'll be alright."
"No it won't, you'll forget all about me. Please don't make me go away, Please!" wailed Tommy. "I'll be good I promise, you can even have my presents back and I won't ask for anything again. Please don't throw me away." Then Tommy fell into fits of hip coughing and crying all at once.
For a moment Harry's thoughts traveled back in time to another conversation.
FLASHBACK
"How dare you boy!" bellowed the fat face of one Vernon Dursley.
"Please, Uncle Vernon, I'll be good. I didn't mean to do bad, I promise," begged a five year old Harry Potter.
"You little freak, how dare you do that to Dudley!" he bellowed at the boy and then slapped him across the face, knocking his glasses off.
"Please don't throw me in there, its dark in there," begged Harry as his uncle pushed him into the cupboard under the stairs.
"You'll stay in there until I decide to start feeding you again," he said and slammed the little door shut and locked it.
For two days Harry sat in that little cupboard, they wouldn't let him out once, not to eat, not to drink, not to go to the bathroom. When they finally opened the door again, his Aunt Petunia slapped him in the face for dirtying himself. He cried for an hour from the pain of the slap, but he never once made a sound.
END OF FLASHBACK
Harry had remembered something he never wanted to remember and he didn't like what he felt. However, he is still Harry Potter and Harry Potter was always the hero.
Harry wrapped his arms around the boy's trembling body, kissed him on the forehead and whispered in his ear, "I'm so sorry, please forgive me." Then he turned to Zinnia Talmadge and said, "Get the luggage we're going home."
"What about Switzerland?" she asked.
"Switzerland can go bugger off!"
- - - - -
Upon entering the front door of Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place, Harry marched straight up to Tommy's bedroom to put the boy to bed for a much needed nap. However, he was stopped along the way by his two best friends, who were still there waiting to see Harry again before he left for school that night.
"Harry, what happened?" Hermione asked, "Is Tommy sick?"
"No Hermione, just a change of plans."
"What change of plans?" Ron asked suspiciously.
"He's coming with me to Honeychurch," Harry said plainly.
"I knew it! That kid has you under some kind of mind boggling spell," Ron accused as Vesta and Tonks came out of the library to see what the commotion was about.
"Ron," Harry said distinctly, "The only thing in this world that has ever boggled my mind has been Vesta's breasts and since Tommy has no control over those, I highly doubt that I am under his control."
Hermione giggled and Harry returned to his trek up the stairs to put Tommy to bed.
Vesta, however, turned to Tonks, placed her hands on her breasts and said, "They are something aren't they?"
Tonks fell on the floor laughing.

Author's Note: To everyone who reviewed, thanks again...
athenakitty wrote Old Tom's defending the younger Tom? Will Harry change his mind on Tommy? Will Tom go to Honeychurch?
Answer - Old Tom is busy running the Leaky Cauldron and will not be going to Honeychurch anytime soon at all.
Wytil wrote Your story seems to have developed a central theme: The Disposition of Tommy. Still there is a love story and a school problem in the background. There are ancilliary plots abounding all over. After all Ginny's school/home turned up Tommy and next? What kind of bureaucratic plotting will good old Percy drape down upon the heads of the unspecting heads of the smaller schools or even the wizarding community.
Answer - Weatherby will not be showing up again for a few more chapters. You'll see whats up with him later.
Geminia wrote I find your author notes enjoyable, your's are the only ones I actually read;) Still hope that Harry will keep Tommy and not send him to Switzerland, or if he does finds out how much the boy will be ridculed fo his ability if found, the headlines in the paper stating what he is (come on as if they're not going to publish a claim like that no matter how much they like Potter, especially since Skeeter's time limit is up...) and that he probably won't be trusted... oOh well all that is up to you and it depends on how you write the story;) Though one thing bugs me, will Xander be part-veela? Did Malfoy get that from his mother or father? If mother, than that means her two sisters and Tonks and Sirus had it as well... If Father than Xander does have that to look forward to when 18 ;) Oh well if you could clear that up that would be nice!
Answer - Xander is part veela through Lucius Malfoy's mother. Rita Skeeter and Harry have another arrangement other than the one Hermione set up. Don't worry about Tommy, I got more plans.
kensai2 wrote So how many chapters do we have to wait for the reason the old lady knows Tommy? Maybe she was Tommy's Aunt's lover. I like this story more than the prequal. Do not get me wrong, I love all your writing, but this story has an origanol plot.
Answer - Does it really matter where she came from? There are many who know about Tommy's origins. Tinsia Odran was not a lesbian. :)
Tanydwr wrote Personally, I think James and Lily - well, Lily certainly - wouldn't disapprove. The boy isn't the same person, is he? Voldemort killed them, not Tommy Riddle. Keep up the good work, this is a great story.
Answer - What would Sirius say? Oh wait, we'll find out when Harry returns to Honeychurch, won't we. Also, I don't think James would approve, something in me just screams it.
barbarataku wrote The first Honeychurch was great and this one is to. I think you came up with a brillant way for Harry to defeat Voldy. I like what Vesta's Mom said about kids are innocent until things start happening to them. I hope you will keep Tommy nice. Almost thought for a moment that Vesta wasn't going to come back to Harry because of Tommy. It is good to run across stories like HC something that goes beyond the battle, something that goes beyond blood and guts, something that is sedate and peaceful BUT interesting. The scene with Harry,naked, Vesta, and Fitzy cracked me up. I do not think people realize how innocent and private Harry is. Thanks for sharing.
Answer - A man with a penis that large cannot be private no matter what. :)
Fangalla wrote You know if they give Harry a surprise party every year, don't they realize that he may suspect that one is coming? I mean come on, please! Also liked that Tommy has a snake now and that Harry caved in and got him one. Makes me wonder if Harry's real kids are gonna be parselmouths also. p.s. what did he name the snake?
Answer - They all love Harry. As for the snake's name, well thats for later. As for Harry's kids, well we'll have to wait a while for that to be answered.
