Well its not exactly training Alex has. Its more like classes. Though, a form of training may come later. For now he had a tutor in school subjects, mainly to get himself caught up with what he's forgotten in magic.

Thank you to everybody!

Chapter Five

A week had passed and Alex was allowed out of bed. He still had to take it easy, though.

Currently, Alex was out side on the grounds of the Mansion. He had been spending a lot of time with Tom. Tom spoke a lot of his past. They would eat dinner together in the dining room. Alex had met a few of the Death Eaters, as he learned they were called, who worked for Tom. But his interaction with most of them were limited.

He learned that Tom held meetings with the people who worked for him about twice a week. He was not allowed to go to these meetings though. Tom said that he was too young, and also that they were quite boring. Crabbe, and Matt, who he had recently met, also confirmed how boring these meetings were. They said all they did was talk about business.

Matt was in his late twenties with light brown hair, and light brown eyes.

Alex had met Matt a few days after he had woken up after the accident. He liked Matt. His real name was Mathew, but he preferred being called Matt. Matt spent an hour to two hours each day teaching him magic's, and schooling. They practiced very little magic's though. Tom, unbeknown to Alex, had managed to get his real wand, the 11 inch Phoenix feather wand, from his real uncle's house, from its hiding spot. Matt also taught Alex some small potions. Alex found he enjoyed making some potions.

Alex knelt down next to the lake on the property and looked in. He couldn't see many fish. The ones he did see were small. Hearing something he looked over. It was Matt. Alex stood up as he came closer and walked over to him.

"Hello, Alex. See anything?" He asked smiling.

Alex nodded. "There are some small fish, but nothing big."

Matt nodded. "Well, we need to head inside. You still have some lessons to complete before dinner."

Alex nodded and followed Matt.

About forty-five minutes though the lesson Alex began to grow tired. He still got tired easily, and Crabbe said that he would for a while until his injury healed completely. He also said that Alex may or may not get his memory back. Only time would tell for sure. Matt noticed his charge trying to hide a yawn and frowned. He put his hand over Alex's hand in order to get him to stop chopping the root he'd been chopping for the potion.

"Lesson's are over for the day. Go to your room and take and nap. I'll wake you for dinner." Matt told Alex.

"You're staying for dinner?" Alex asked surprised. Matt and Crabbe stayed sometimes. But Alex had thought Matt would be going home tonight.

"Yes, I am. Your uncle and I need to discuss how your lessons are going later. Go on and take a nap. You're tired, even though you're trying to hide it, as well as change the subject." He said giving the boy a little smirk.

Alex gave a little smile before yawning again. Matt made a gesture for him to go to his room. "Alright. Let me clean this first, then I'll go to my room." Alex said as he began to pick up the small cauldron.

Matt went over to him and took the cauldron from his charges hands. "I can clean up for tonight. You go to your room."

Alex nodded and sighed. "Thank you. I'll see you later."

"Your welcome. Have a good nap."

Alex then left the room. Sighing Matt began to dump the cauldron in the sink. After casting a cleaning and drying spell he placed the cauldron in the cupboard that contained all of Alex's potion making materials.

I know I'm not supposed to get too attached to the boy, but he found a way to worms his way into my heart. Matt thought

Later that night, after supper, and after Alex had gone back to his room, Matt sat with the Dark Lord in the dining room.

"How is Alex doing in his lessons?" The Dark Lord asked.

"He's doing very well, My Lord." Matt answered truthfully. He knew it was stupid to lie to Voldemort. Voldemort always knew when someone lied. "He seem's to enjoy some potions, but not others. He sometimes gets bored discussing magical theory. Usually all I have to do is show him how to do a spell once, and he can do it. But we are still in the basics."

"Do you believe he will have any difficulty when you get more advanced in magic?"

Matt shook his head. "No, I think he will do very well. He may even improve from where he had been."

"Why would that be?" The Dark Lord asked.

"Well, because at the moment he is dealing with one-on-one tutoring. In a classroom there is one teacher and twenty five to thirty kids."

"Would it be a mistake sending him to normal means of schooling, should he be able to handle it?"

"No, I don't believe so. When ever he comes back it might be smart to review what he's learned though."

The Dark Lord nodded. "Thank you, Matt."

Matt nodded. "It's my pleasure, My Lord."

"You are dismissed."

"Goodnight, My Lord."

Leaving the room Matt sighed. The Dark Lord was a lot more mellow since Alex had come to live there. But he was still scared of him. Matt knew Alex was also worming his way into Lord Voldemort's heart. Even though most would argue that he even had a heart. But it appeared, to Matt, he did posses a heard.

Voldemort continued to think about Alex's progress. He was happy with how things were going. Alex was adjusting fine. He wasn't questioning too much into the story he'd been told of his past. Voldemort also noticed how he was getting a soft spot for him. As much as he tried, he couldn't help it.

A year ago, had someone told him he'd would one day care for Harry Potter he would have laughed at them and killed them.

Looking at the clock on the wall he noticed it was late. Alex would already be asleep at this hour. It was 3:00 AM. Getting up he left the room.

As he passed Alex's room he opened the door. The room was dark inside. The only thing he could hear was light breathing from a child. Stepping into the room and closer to the bed to get a better look at his charge. The boy was asleep on his side with an arm tucked under the pillow. Voldemort reached out a hand and brushed some of the long hair out of the boy's face. Standing up he left the room and went to bed himself.
