Well, another chapter. I was bored, so I decided to go ahead and get it out. Since I have sooo many freakin reviews I'm only going to respond to a few. THANK YOU EVERYONE THOUGH! It means A LOT to me that you actually took the time to review. THANK YOU!
findingEMO: THANK YOU FOR POINTING THAT OUT! As I said to you, that is courtesy of this wonderful Microsoft Word's spell check. It really makes me happy that you said something about that. My story is NOT perfect and I make mistakes and it's really nice when people point them out to me… that earns the person a lot of cool points. Since you're the first to say something like that, you get a huuuuge cake with "THANK YOU" written on it!
Intergalactic smart-ass: I am freakin in LOVE with your name! It kicks MAJOR ASS! WOOO cool points for you! Here's some cookies!
Shinigami: There is a little Neville in this chapter, but he isn't portrayed as you might want him. I'll do my best to put him and Luna in future chapters. I have a request though, in a message or e-mail (my e-mail is ) could you possibly tell me how Luna acts. I can't really remember from the books, and I'm figuring that you'll know. I can't remember Luna's personality at all. Yea, those two do fight a lot. Thank you for reviewing!
Gothical-Fairy: WOOOO! –does happy dance- I love dancing. You get a freakin truck load of cookies for that! Your name is kickass too! I love it! Oh, and here's your update. I hope that everyone else is as enthusiastic as you are! WOOO!
aa: Hey, thanks for reading… umm I'm NOT and I repeat NOT meaning this in a mean way. It would be impossible to keep them totally in character. If I kept them in character, there could be no slash/yaoi, the "golden trio" would be together (and I don't want that -wink wink-), and my plot line would be shit (meaning that it couldn't happen). Thank you for that suggestion though. I know that it's frustrating when people make such wonderful characters ooc. I have to say though. It's just too hard to keep anyone in character. I mean even JK totally baffled us in her 6th book (which I personally think is total shit, it's about the same quality as a fanfiction.. just my opinion…) when she made Draco come off as a total pussy (I know that the situation would be hard on anyone… but yea… I still say he was acting like a pussy), she made Dumbledore TOTALLY OOC (What happened made NO sense. He was acting like a blubbering fool when he went with Harry to get that "horcrux", and his death... it just was too not like him. She might have meant to make him seem more "human", but she went about it the wrong way). I know that I'm going to probably get a lot of flames for that.. but whatever. My point is that, it's hard to keep characters in character. I also lack the skill to do that, but I'll try to make them a little more like "themselves". Anyway, thank you again for your review. I'm sorry if you get offended by that. I DO NOT MEAN IT IN A MEAN WAY! I'm just trying to state a point.
Well, I know that I'm probably going to get a lot of bitching reviewers for those last few things that I said. What I request of you though, is IF YOU HAVE AN OPINION DON'T LEAVE A PARAGRAPH ABOUT IT IN A REVIEW. SEND ME A PERSONAL MESSAGE. I'LL BE REALLY PISSED IF YOU CLOG UP MY REVIEWS WITH YOUR PAGE LONG FLAME ABOUT HOW YOU'RE INSULTED BY WHAT I SAID ABOUT THE 6TH BOOK. MESSAGE ME. ALL I WANT IN MY REVIEWS ARE ACTUAL REVIEWS OF THE STORY, NOT AN OPINION ABOUT THE BOOK AND HOW I'M WRONG. There, I got that out of the way…
Anywho.. enough of my yammering. I'll update either July 1 or when I get 85 reviews. I'm mainly saying 85 because I'm pretty sure that I won't get to 85 by next week. Now, I know that there are A LOT of people reading the story, if they would just review… then the next chapter would get out faster –hint hint-. Well, have fun!
-I don't own HP. I just own the plotline idea. Not the characters, not the places, not anything. Only an idea-
Chapter 4
Harry yawned and looked at the bubbling concoction in front of him.
"This is so pointless. Why do we need to make a potion for looking into the past? We already know what happened. Wait!... didn't Draco say that someone showed him visions of the past? Maybe someone made him take some of this potion? Maybe it was Snape! This seems too coincidental for my tastes. I think-"
Harry was jarred out of his thoughts as someone's potion exploded. Harry looked around and saw Neville lying unconcious on the floor with a mini-mushroom cloud forming over his cauldron. He turned back around and looked torwards Snape. The potion's master was sitting at his desk and glaring at the motionless form on the ground.
"Would someone be so kind as to escort Mr. Longbottom to the hospital wing?" he said looking back to the papers on his desk.
"Would this so called escort get to leave for the rest of the period?" Seamus called from the back of the room.
Snape looked up at him, "I don't care. Just leave."
Everyone gasped at his answer. It wasn't sarcastic, it wasn't malicious, and it wasn't insulting. In other words, it wasn't like Snape at all.
"Are you feeling alright professor? Do you want me to escort you to the hospital wing too?" Seamus asked in a mocking voice.
Snape just sighed and pointed at the door, "Just escort Mr. Longbottom to the hospital wing."
Seamus frowned. Usually he would get kicked out of the classroom for saying something like that to Snape. There was something seriously wrong with the professor.
Harry turned to Draco. "Do you know what's wrong with Snape?"
Draco's face paled slightly. "Umm… he's just under a lot of stress I think. Yea, probably just stress and not enough sleep."
Harry eyed Draco suspiciously.
"I think you know what's wrong with him," Harry said in an accusing tone.
Draco laughed nervously, "No I don't. Oh look! Our potion's done!"
Harry looked at the caldron and saw that the potion had finally turned a dark blue and was slightly simmering.
The sound of a chair scraping across the ground called everyone's attention to the front of the room. Snape stood and walked back in front of the board.
"Your potions should be done by now. If they are a darkened blue and you have followed all the directions exactly, then you may test them. If they work correctly you will fall into a dream like state. Everything that you see will have happened in the past, but not a past that you directly saw. You may see events that you never took place in, but yet you were some how a part of," Snape said looking around the classroom until his eyes finally settled on Harry.
"The so called 'visions' will last ten minutes. Use this time wisely. Listen to everything that you can. The things spoken may be very interesting," Snape looked back up at the entire class, "You might also hear something useful for blackmail."
Everyone smiled at the last statement and started pouring their potions into small cups for testing.
"What does he mean by that? Does he know what I'll see? This is all too coincidental. Something has to be going on here. I wish I could talk to Herms about it. She'd know what to say, but then again… she has been a complete bitch to me lately. Maybe I could talk to Draco about it."
"You ready for this?"
Harry looked at Draco and saw him holding out a small cup filled with the blue liquid. He nodded and took the cup.
"I'll see you when I wake up," he said to Draco and with one swallow downed the entire glass of it.
Harry watched as the world slowly started spinning and soon it started to grow blurry. He could see time slow down and felt himself fall out of his chair. However, he was out before he hit the ground.
Harry looked around and saw that he was outside the Dursley's house. It was night time and all of the street lamps were glowing giving the street an eerie glow. He heard someone walking and turned to face the direction that the sound was coming from.
There was a tall figure wearing a long coat of some sort and a tall hat.
Harry took a few steps toward the person and saw that he or she wasn't wearing a coat, but was actually wearing wizard's robes. The person stopped and pulled something out from an inside pocket. The person raised an arm and slowly the street lamps started going out.
Harry held his breath and took a few steps closer. The person was Albus Dumbledore! Harry started to walk closer, but his vision grew blurry again.
He closed his eyes and after a few seconds reopened them. He was still in front of the Dursley's, but now Dumbledore wasn't alone. McGonagall and Hagrid were with him and the headmaster was holding a small bundle close to his chest. Harry quietly crept closer and listened to their conversation.
"This will be a better life for you Harry. He won't be able to find you here. You'll be protected from the wizarding world long enough for people to forget."
Professor McGonagall appeared next to Dumbledore. She walked over to him and put her hand on his shoulder.
"Are we doing the right thing Albus? I know that we've been planning this since we found out about her pregnancy, but is it the right thing to do? He's just a child. You could raise him. We don't have to do this."
Albus shook his head. "No Minerva. We have to. There are already rumors about this. If I were to raise him, then they might suspect us even more. We can't let them learn the truth."
Dumbledore turned to Hagrid, "Does anyone else know about you taking him?"
Hagrid shook his head. Harry took another step forward, but his vision started blurring again.
Harry closed his eyes. He opened them and looked around. He was no longer at the Dursley's house. He was now in St Mungo's hospital. He looked around and saw nurses rushing around carrying babies, bottles, blankets, and other things that Harry really didn't want to know about.
He started walking and stopped at a room. There was a folder next to the door with the name "Riddle" written on it. The door was open, so Harry looked in. He saw a woman lying in a bed holding a baby. There was a man standing next to her. He looked oddly familiar. The woman had blue eyes and black hair. The man also had dark colored hair, but Harry couldn't see his eyes at all.
Harry hesitated for a moment, but then walked into the room. There were balloons and flowers on every available surface. He almost tripped over a human sized teddy bear lying on the floor with its legs spread out.
"Emily he looks so handsome," the man said the woman.
The woman now known as Emily looked up at him and smiled. Harry walked closer to the woman and looked at the child. He had black hair and green eyes.
"He definitely has your hair Em', and your nose," the man whispered to Emily, "I'm not sure where the eyes come from though."
Emily smiled. "They must be from my father. He had green eyes."
The man smiled at her and stroked his child's small hand, "What should his name be love?"
She frowned in thought for a moment then turned to him. "What about Harry?"
"Why Harry?" He asked with a puzzled look.
Emily smiled and laughed lightly. "I'm not sure really. I just happen to like the name."
"Well then, Harry it shall be. I think though, that we should also name him after that remarkable father of yours."
Emily looked at him clearly confused. "Remarkable? I always thought that you two hated each other."
"We did. He's remarkable because as a last act of spite he gave my son green eyes."
"But Tom, what's wrong with green eyes?"
Tom pouted, "I wanted him to have blue."
Emily shook her head and laughed. "I'm not sure who's going to be more childish, you or our son."
Tom stuck his lip out and crossed his arms. "I'm not childish."
Emily smiled and laughed again.
"Tom, I have a question. Whose surname will he take? I'd rather it be yours, so that way when we're able to get married we won't have to worry about it."
"That sounds like a very good idea. I'd also rather have it be that way so people won't be able to see a connection between the two of us," Tom took Emily's hand and kissed it, "and I promise Em', when this is all over we will get married and live a normal life."
The baby made a noise and both of the parents looked down at him.
"Harry James Riddle. One day all of the wizarding world will know your name."
Harry gasped.
"Is this me? But is can't be! But that's my name. Those are my eyes and that's my hair. This is me! But how! These aren't my parents. My parents are Lily and James Potter! Not this Emily and Tom Riddle. Wait… Riddle… VOLDEMORT! If this is true then this means that Voldemort is my father! Oh god."
Woo! Another chapter. I hope that there are at least a few of you that like it. If not, then oh well. Review if you want. Message if you want to flame me about my opinions about the 6th book.
