Chapter Six

Thomas smiled so wide he thought his face might break in two as he read the article in the Daily Prophet. Harry dead? Tom dead? This was just to funny. Just then Tom thought of something, if everyone thought them to be dead than he could raise Harry in peace. He could stay with Harry in the house that he had built in the alternate dimension he had spent what had seemed like four years in, which in reality had actually been thirty-seven years. Then when everything calmed down, he could spend the rest of the time raising Harry in the Riddle Mansion. From what he could calculate they would only be in the AD Riddle Mansion for one or two days when, in the main dimension weeks even months would have past. But back in the main dimension wards would have to be added to the house, and when they left the house they would have to have glamour charms on.

Things went by just as he planned. Soon ten years had passed. And since the day that he had remembered Harry he had not even thought of the group of people to whom he had been the leader to, let alone tried to contact them. Tom had been slightly surprised when Harry's Hogwarts letter came, but then again he knew that Albus had never given up on the hope that Harry was alive out there. So they went into Diagon Alley, unaware of the surprises that they were in store for.

First Tom took Harry to Olivanders shop to get his wand. Harry knew that no one could know who his nor his father's true identities. Whenever they went out Harry's name was Jacob Knight and his father's was Matthew Knight. Thomas's first shock of the day was when he found that the core of this wand, a phoenix feather, had a brother. Apparently the phoenix had donated another feather, which was highly unusual. And the wand, brother to his own, had chosen Harry.

"Strange" Olivander had said, "very strange indeed."

When asked why he had said that, his only reply was;

"Jacob, You are destined for greatness, for the Phoenix that donated the core to this wand had donated another, that core to the wand that was in the possession of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named." He continued, " You can either be a great asset for the light or, a great enemy to the light."

They left the shop soon after that. Next they went to Madame Milkens Robes For Every Occasion.

There Tom was shocked to see Lucius Malfoy, a former Death Eater that has once been his right hand. Lucius was there to get his son Draco fitted. Wearily Tom sat and waited for Harry to be finished.

Lucius's Point of View

When the tall, rather built man stepped into the shop, the mark that I had acquired while being a Death Eater twinged slightly. I stared at the man, could he be my Lord Voldemort? Quickly i put such thoughts out of my mind, for everyone knew how skilled at legitimacy the Dark Lord was. Soon a child, about age eleven, called out to the man.

"Father! Why can't we get ice cream first?" Whined the child.

The man grinned widely and ruffled the child's hair, saying;

"Hush Jacob, If you let Madame Milken fit you, I'll get you ice cream and a pet."

Lucius looked away disgusted. How could he had thought that this, this man was the most powerful wizard in the world. The man was to friendly, to weak to be the person that he admired.

End Lucius Point of View

Thomas sighed when he saw the look of self-disgust pass over Lucius's face. Fortunately the rest of the day went past with out to many surprises, and true to his word, for Harry's good behavior, Thomas got his and Harry a large ice cream, and Harry chose a fire snake from the pet shop.
