PROLOGUE
Other time… In the other place.
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
When girl asked this particular question, her shiny brown eyes was showing great concern and worry. She took lose strand of her hair and put it behind her ear.
"Yes Ann." Boy answered. „I have no other choice. This is something I must do."
He looked like any normal teenager in his years. He had short cut hair and plain skin carnation. He was quite tall, but it fit him very well. His intense blue eyes was full of warm and kindness.
"I still can't believe, that this is really happening." She whispered.
It was a silence for a couple of seconds.
"It must finally end. This time I can't and I won't runaway from this."
He came a little closer and warp her trembling body in the quieting and comforting hug.
"I promise I will be back. And you know that I'm not saying this only to demonstrate this faint line for The Terminator movie."
"You could've fool me, you know." She tease him a little, but than again she shudder.
"I won't allow myself to loose you, when I finally have you." He continue in his tender voice. "When I'm saying - Till we meet again – I really mean that."
"I'm holding you on this."
He pull out a little only to show her sly grin on his lips.
"See you in a bit."
He kissed her lightly, and step back about two meters. He closed his eyes for a second.
"Est Mondo Shifto"
After whispering this words, his eyes turned milky white.
Around his lonely figure was born the powerful air tube. This small tornado cowered him like a blanket and seconds later loud bang was heard. When the wind cool down there was no trace of this strange boy. All what's left was two footprints on the wet ground.
Girl named Ann was standing still and on her cheeks could be seen two streams of tears.
"Please come back soon to me" She said and after that she turn around and disappear in the surrounding night.

Diagon Alley
It was past midnight and Diagon Alley was completely deserted.
Earth tremors begin suddenly and without any warning.
At the start it looked like the earth just tremble a little. Bronze jingles hanging above stores doors, ring a little but it was so quiet that no one was awaken.
Seconds later small white thunderbolt torn apart the silent air and from created in this way hole jumped single figure.
It was the same boy who couple minutes ago was talking with Ann in totally different place.
He stood up and in one swift move he brushed dust of his trousers.
He looked around and his gaze stops on the hotel sign not to far from his current position.
He smiled a little after reading it.
"Under Bouncing Pony" He muttered to himself. "I guess it's better than nothing"
He stretched hard himself till his bones crack.
"Okey. Phase one completed.. I'm where I wanted to be. Now it's time for the phase two.. which is… camouflage a little and wait for the letter from Hogwarts."
He put his palms together like for the prayer. He spoke quietly masking spell and waited a moment until his whole body flashed a golden light.
He opened his eyes.
"One gone, one more to go"
By the corner of his eye he saw a street rat running thru the alley. Quickly extended his arm in it's direction.
"Accio rat"
Helpless animal floated in the air and boy grab him swiftly by the tail. He waited a couple of seconds and released rodent. He sighs hard.
"Phase two – Using magic by the unidentified wizard in school age – completed"
Whistling some cherry melody he walks to the inn. But before he enter the building he bend down and grab from the street pile of gravel. Keeping it on his open hand he muttered.
"Metamorfa gelleo"
He smiled when tiny stones transfigured to the golden galleons. He put them in his pocket and enter the inn. After renting single room from grumpy old receptionist, and doesn't caring
about curios glances from hotel guests, he quickly headed to place of his accommodation.
Old rusty bed creaked under his body and comfortable and warm bedclothes was welcoming him to rest. Unfortunately, despite of his tiredness he couldn't let himself drift to sleep.
He has one more thing to do.
Finally, after almost twenty minutes, he heard delicate tapping in his window. He get up, opened it, letting inside big gray owl with the letter attached to her leg. When he took the piece of paper wise animal flew away.
Boy broke a seal with big letter "H" on it and read what was inside.
He frown with disgust when he saw to WHO the letter was addressed, but after a moment he shrug it of and with great attention read whole letter.
To:
Mr Thomas Augustus Riddle
Room Number 4, " Under Bouncing Pony Inn", Diagon Alley
From:
Witchcraft Scholl of Magic and Wizardry in Hogwarts
Dear Mister Riddle.
In case of your first registered using of magic, I'd like to inform you that you were accepted to the Witchcraft School of Wizards and Wizardry in Hogwarts.
I had to inform you also that Ministry of Magic not having any information about yourself and from where you came, caste on you Identification Charm. From this charm school gained information about your personalizes.
Because of your age (16 years), you will be added to the Sixth Year of our school. I'm afraid it will be including passing exams for the years which passed by as quickly as possible. Time of this tests will be announced after your arriving.
List of books needed for your sixth year classes is listed below.
Sincerely
Minerwa McGonagall
Headmistress Of Hogwarts Witchcraft School of Wizards and Wizardry
The boy named Tom Riddle carefully fold the letter and put it in his pocket. He smiled a little.
"I've made it" He said to the empty room. "Now I have to wait till my target reveal himself. And when it happens… he will regret that he was born."
He laid on hotel bed and close his eyes.
After couple of seconds he was deep in a sleep.

"HE'S HIS SON??? HOW THIS IS POSSIBLE ALBUS??? HOW???"
Potions professor Severus Snape was walking fractionally in the Head Master office almost like his boots was on fire. His long black cloak was whirling violently.
"Calm down Severus and please sit down" Quiet voice of Dumbledore was heard in the room. "Your nervous moves make my head a little dizzy."
Snape complied and sit in one of the chairs standing in front of the Headmaster desk. At his left side, on the other chair was sitting professor McGonagall. She also looked slightly nervous.
"You want me to calm down Albus?" Master of Potions hissed. "Like we don't have enough problems with one You-Kow-Who… and now we have another one!"
Headmaster didn't answer deep in his own thoughts.
"This is his son!" Barked Snape. "Ministry Identification Charms can not be fooled. He comes out suddenly from nowhere, and more of that… we have to accept him to Hogwarts. That is the law. How it is possible, that no one knew about his existence over sixteen years? Why he decided to reveal himself, by using one of the most simple charms?"
Voice of the old Transfiguraton professor was also full of worry.
"Albus. We have absolutely no idea who really is this boy or what power he posses. We don't know how he want to use it… WE DON'T KNOW ANYTHING!!! Ministry Charm didn't give us any details. We've only got his name, age and couple not important facts like weight, height, hair and eyes color. But blood identification states that this boy is Tom Riddle son. THIS TOM RIDDLE!!! On Merlin's beard!!! He even was named after his father."
Ther was a couple seconds of silence.
"And what about a mother?" Asked Snape.
McGonnagall shake her head.
"This case is another problem. Some powerful spell is blocking this particular information. Ministry tried everything brake it but not succeed."
"You see!" Said Snape to quiet Dumbledore. "Stairs is already started. Albus, we can not allow to bring son of Tom Riddle to Hogwarts. Can you imagine reaction of the pupils and rest of the teachers? It will be total chaos."
After a moment Dumbledore said in his low calming voice.
"You forget about one important thing my dear friends. This Tom Riddle… whoever he is… whoever son he isn't… he's just a young boy. Boy, to whom we have an obligation to teach him just like every other student in this school. Our main responsibility is to give him opportunity to learn…. Not to relocate sins of father to his son."
"But You-Kow-Who…"
"Voldemort, ma dearest friends… you should get used to speak his name long time ago… definitely will by planning something about this boy. And our mission is to prevent this."
Snape shook his head.
"I can't agree with you Albus. I'm really sorry, but I still thinks that this boy is a threat."
Professor McGonnagall also didn't have her most happy face.
"Something tells me, that this year will by worst of all we ever faced."
Dumbledore slowly nod his head.
"You are probably right Minerwa, but right now it isn't what worries me the most.
"So… what is it?"
Headmaster hesitate a little.
"I wonder… how will Harry Potter react for the information, that his new school colleague is
son of the man who murdered his parents?"
Dead silence which steps after his question was enough answer.
