I do not own Harry Potter, simple as that.
In 72 hours I leave for my vacation, so, this may be my last up-date, unless I have time to type.
I wanna thank everyone for reviews! Those are always fun to read. Sorry it took a while to put this on (Still not done paking.....bangs head on wall)

Chapter 6 ------
==================
Tom sat in his room, waiting to see if Dumbledore, that old fool, would send him a Hogwarts letter. He had no clue why he had to go to Hogwarts, but figured it better to ask question's later. Tom stood up and stretched a bit, when an owl flew into his room, full speed and hit him in the back of the head, worst thing though, was the fact that it was his owl. 'Now I know why I like snakes, they don't fly, and attempt to kill you, with beaks of doom!'
The owl flew from Tom and sat on a chair that was in the corner of his room. Tom looked at the black owl, and saw a envelope in its beak. Tom smirked, and thought 'Dumbledore, just proved what an old fool he is.'
Tom walked over to the owl, took the envelope, and opened it. The first paper said:
Dear Mr. Riddly,
Examining past report cards you sent, we thought you would be honored to be a prefect, in this rare occasion, we are waiting for you to be sorted into one of our four house's, so you will get your badge then. We never do such a thing, your score's rival a student's we had over 50 years ago.
Sorry for your losses,
Albus Dumbledore
(Head Master)
Tom grinned proudly to himself 'Well, this year should be fun.'
Tom then took out the school book list. He had time to spare, so he would go to Diagon ally, hopefully he could go alone, he really did not like being around people, and could be labeled anti-social. After putting a black casual wizarding robe on, he went to ask for floo-powder to go to his destination.
-===-===-===-===-===-===-===-===-===-===-===-===-===-===-===-===-===-
"Mum! I'm going to Diagon ally!"Ginny yelled, after making enough space for her friend
"Alright Ginny, be careful, I really wish you would go with Ron thought."Molly said
"Mum, I really want to go by myself, I really don't want him picking out my pet, and then getting stuck in Quality Qudditch Supplies..."Ginny said
"I understand, Gin, you have the 10 galleons, right?"Molly asked
"Yep Mum, right here."Ginny said
"Here's 5 more."Molly said, shoving the money into her daughters hand
"Mum, were is this all coming from?"Ginny asked
"Your father got a promotion, he's getting double the amount he was getting. I mean, we spent a lot on Ron's broom, you deserve a little more."Molly said
"Mum, I'm only getting a pet."Ginny said
"Supplies for your pet, and if it is different from an owl, you will need books on it."Molly said
"Yes mother, if I have change?"Ginny asked
"It's yours, for being my last prefect, and only daughter to be a prefect, and just being my only daughter."Molly said
"Thanks mum! Bye!"Ginny said, putting floo into the fire place, and screaming "Diagon Ally."
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Tom walked down the street of Diagon Ally, it had not changed much in over 50 years, only some shops were new to him, he kept his hood up, and tried to hide his face. As he walked, he saw a familiar red-head. He smirked to himself. He started to walk faster, and walked in front of Ginny.
"Hello."Tom said
Ginny who was not paying attion, had turned around, and almost fell, from being surprised.
"Hello, Tom."Ginny said
"I need your help Ginny."Tom said 'Why can't I just call her by her name?' Tom thought
"If I help you, then you have to help me Tom."Ginny said 'I will put him through the torture of shopping with a teenage girl, I know from experience, Ron, Fred, and George despise going into store's with me.'
"Alright. I need help in finding that book you were speaking of."Tom said, with slight embarrassment
"Alright, well I need help in picking out a pet, I could get anything."Ginny said
Tom grinned to himself 'I bet her mother would have a heart-attack if Ginevra walked home with a pet snake.'
"Tom. Tom..TOM!"Ginny said
"Sorry."Tom said
"What else do you need?"Ginny asked
"Er.....dress robes, but I am more focused on.........."Tom got cut off by the red head
"Alright Tom, I am helping you get all the stuff you need, I see that Hogwarts letter sticking from your robes pocket, no protesting, we are getting all your school supplies."Ginny said
"Yes ma'am, now you are to help me, but if you recommend anything in Red and Gold, I will not help you."Tom said
"Fine. Now were to first?"Ginny said
"The pet shop place. Ladies first."Tom said
"Alright."Ginny said
--=--
Tom and Ginny walked into the pet shop. Ginny smiled as she looked at the magical creatures. She saw kittens, puppies, rats, mice, toads, frogs, owls, some other birds, and some snakes.
"Ginny, what do you have in mind?"Tom asked, bored
"Um, I can't decide."Ginny said, Tom just put his hand to head and shook his head, and mumbled something Ginny could not hear
Tom walked over to the snakes, and Ginny followed him.
"How about a Boa Constrictor?"Tom asked, with a charming smile
"I don't think my family would be to pleased."Ginny said
Tom frowned. 'She wants a pet, yet she is going to torture me, by making me help her pick it out, when she has no clue what she wants, why did I agree to this?' Tom thought
"Alright, how about a lizard!"Tom said, pulling Ginny by the arm, to different lizards.
"Um......I don't think any reptiles would survive in my house."Ginny said
"Them lets go to the owls and such."Tom said
"No owls, I'm getting Pig when Ron gets out of school."Ginny said
"A cat?"Tom asked
"No, Hermione has one, and I just don't like them that much."Ginny said
"A dog?"Tom asked
"No, my dad's allergic."Ginny said
"A pet rock?"Tom asked with great sarcasm
"I'd go in my back yard for that one Tom."Ginny said
"That was every pet in the store Ginny."Tom said
"Let's focus on you Tom, let's get those good ol' books."Ginny said
"Fine. Remind me, never to go to a pet store with you."Tom said
"Fine, I think I want to go look at brooms."Ginny said
"I do to, lets do that now."Tom said
'Now, my plan to torture Tom just started....'Ginny thought
'Ginevra better pick something out in this store, or I am going to snap.'Tom thought
--=--
Tom opened the door to the Qudditch store for Ginny. He looked around, and saw many things that were definitely not there in his time.
"Oh, I wish I could afford the new Firebolt, I really want to get try out for the school team."Ginny said in almost a mumble, but Tom heard
'If I buy her the broom, that'll get her to trust me.'Tom thought
"That's a nice broom."Tom said "What kind?"
"It's the new Firebolt 3000. They just came out."Ginny said
"It comes in different colors?"Tom said, looking at the paper that was attached to the case the broom was in
"Yes, Black and Green, with silver writing, Pink and Blue, with purple writing, Red, and Gold with black writing."Ginny said
Tom walked up to the counter, without Ginny noticing she was still looking at the broom. Tom put quite a lot of money on the counter, and walked over to Ginny, with a box, that was wrapped up. Ginny looked at Tom with disbelief.
"Tom, you shouldn't have."Ginny said
"Were friends, right Ginny?"Tom asked, in his nicest voice
"er.......right, were friends."Ginny said, putting it through her head 'Ron will wet himself if he See's me on this....'
"Your my only friend Ginny, so I got this for you."Tom said
"Tom this cost a lot of money, how would I repay you?"Ginny asked
"Just be my friend, and thats all. And don't tell anyone that I'm back."Tom said
"With you being out, wont that show that your back?"Ginny asked
"Only you could recognize me Ginny, I look different to everybody else."Tom said "Now open the box, take a look at the broom, when we get out, of course."Tom said
"Alright, let's get ice-cream, my treat."Ginny said, taking the box with trembling hands
"If you insist."Tom said 'This is so easy, I could tell she trust's me, but, oh great.....when I get to school, she won't even recognize me, I'm going to have to start this from scratch!' Tom screamed in his head
--=--
Ginny and Tom go the ice cream, she never got a chance open up the box that contained the broom-stick. Tom just told Ginny to say she won it, for being the 10,000th person to look at the broom stick. He was quite serious, but it made Ginny laugh, which made Tom look at her in a funny way.
After getting the ice cream, they went to the book store, and got Tom the book on different spells to change your appearance (and to help him out, Ginny pretended it was for her, to ease the embarrassment.).
Then after looking at her watch, she told Tom she had to go home, so they said, bye.
Tom and her went in separate directions, he went to get robes, and Ginny went to the Leaky Cauldron to floo home.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
When Ginny got home, she entered a kitchen that had her mother, father, Ron, Fred, George, and to her surprise, Bill, and Charlie.
"Hello Gin!"Bill said, getting up to hug his sister soon followed by Charlie
"We heard about the new Gryfinndor prefect."Charlie said
"Congratulations!"Bill said
"I'm so happy the two of you are home!"Ginny yelled
"Glad to be home."Bill said
After the hugs from her brothers, she followed her family into the living room, so she could show her family what she got, they were all starring at the box, and all too.
Ginny opened up the Broom box, her hands trembling. 'I cant wait to see what color Tom got me...'Ginny thought. She moved the papers that hid the broom, as 5 brothers stood watching each moment of the unrevealing of the broom. Ginny moved the last of the paper, and a blank face hit her. 'Tom Marvolo Riddle, I should have known! He got me a Slytherin broom! Slytherin colors! Oh wait, he got one two that means...................'
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Tom said opening up the broom, and smiled an evil smile. "I hope she likes the colors."
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
"Ginny, thats....thats the Firebolt 3000!"Ron said, going out to touch it, but retreated when Ginny slapped his hand
"My broom."Ginny said
"How did you get that Ginny, those are a fortune!"Bill said
"I won it. 10,000th person to look at it, in the store."Ginny lied
"I wish I had gone with you Gin, then I coul......."
"Ronald Weasley, you have a broom already, be happy for Ginny."Molly said
"Sorry Mum, Gin."Ron said "Gin, you trying out for the team?"
"Yes."Ginny said
"Ginny will get murdered by a group of Gryfinndor wielding fire and pitch-forks if they see her on a broom that looks like it's for Slytherin."Charlie said
"Did they let you pick the color Ginny?"Arther asked
"No they just gave me a wrapped box."Ginny lied 'Tom Riddle, I knew it, never trust a Slytherin!'
"Let's play Qudditch!"Ron said "Then go and switch that broom for a more Gryfinndor one."
"Nah, be thankful for what you get. I'll be unique."Ginny said 'But I would not mind bothering Tom, I think I will do that now.'Ginny thought, with an evil smile playing across her face.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Tom was watching his new broom going to the perfect level for him to mount, when his older self came in the room.
"Tom, we are going to have you spy on Potter."Voldemort said
"And how do I do this?"Tom asked
"By purposely getting sorted into Gryfinndor."Voldemort said "Also, it would make Dumbledore suspect you less."
"Do I have to become a stupid Gryfinndor, or do I have a say in this matter."Tom asked
"You could just let the hat put you in any house, it's up to you, you could make it a harder mission, or somewhat easier."Voldemort said, then he walked away, to go to a death eater meeting.
When his future self was gone, Tom saw ink, red ink on a parchment, that said
I know what you did Tom Riddle.
Tom Chuckled and wrote back
Sorry, couldn't resist.
No response came back, so he took out the book, and saw the spell Ginny told him about, so he took his wand out, and test it. His normally neat her style from the 40's changed into a all spiked up look, which made Tom look a little bit more threating, or less serious looking, it depended on how you looked at it.
Then Tom said another spell that made his voice sound different. Then he said to a mirror in his room.
"Hello, I'm Thomas-Marcus Riddly."

Thanks for reading this chapter, I know it was a bit weird, but I thought it would be fun........
I have a question.
Q:Should Tom go into Slytherin, or Gryfinndor? Yes or No.
(I am thinking if he goes into Gryfinndor, he would make many snakes attack the school.)
I think in 2 more chapters it will be time to go onto the Hogwarts express too. I am already thinking about all the things for Hogwarts.
(A/N:::Tom originally was going to say 'I got the bloody Gryfinndor broom!' but I changed it to be 'I hope she likes the colors' to make sound more on purpose, so he has the same colors in this situation.)
Bye!:::Riddled-Slytherin:::
