Before his next lesson Tom made his way to Severus' office. He had a mission for him. He knocked on the door and entered when he was called. "Hello professor I have a mission for you!" he said as Severus eyes rose higher. He hadn't expected this obviously.
"In this instance and when you need me for missions only I will call you my lord. What is it you require my lord?" he asked as Tom smiled at him.
"I require the strongest loyalty potion you have. I need it keyed to myself and I need you to call Lucius here. He is going to be drinking it. I have a mission for him. I need you to call him here and I will hide. You need to tell him your lord has returned and requires him to drink that potion. If he does not comply Tom senior has given me the power to come out and do something!" he said as Severus looked stunned. He left and returned in a moment asking for one of Tom's hairs which he added to the potion which sizzled upon contact. He called Lucius to his office and Lucius arrived looking very tired.
"I am tried Severus what is it you need of me? Did Draco do something wrong?!" he snapped.
"No he did not as of yet. Our lord has been by although he is now using a different form for lack of the correct word and has asked me to hand you this potion you are to drink. I am quite serious Lucius this is no joking matter!" he said as Lucius glared at it in disdain. Tom then decided to make himself known annoyed when Lucius saw him and laughed.
"You will cease your laughter this moment. I know you got off the last time because of Draco but you do not get to escape now. I have a mission for you and worry not it's a simple one for a simpleton such as yourself. Even you can't screw it up!" he sneered showing his red eyes for a little longer than necessary as Lucius fell to the floor in awe.
"Oh my lord I am so sorry I truly did not expect your new form to be that of a mere child. It is the reason I laughed and I am sorry!" he said panicking.
"I am Tom Potter now. I will not curse you unless you give me cause to do that. Drink that potion now and then we will get to your mission!" he snapped as terrified Lucius with shaking hands drank the potion frowning deeply when it didn't hurt him. He had suspected it might and was confused.
"It is not intended for pain you fool! Now get up and sit down. I need you to find some people for me. You are looking for Gaston William Addlemore, Oussema, Ahmed and Amira Shafiq. I just need you to find them and tell Severus here what they are doing and where they live. If you find out one or more of them are dead then tell him that as well. If you find any more Shafiq family members let him know too. He will tell me about it. Compile a written report on your findings and give it Severus. I must be on my way now but before I go I will tell you, you're disgusting! Had you spent less time on your fabulous hair and more time on your son he might not be such an arsehole. Fix Draco or I will do it for you!" he snapped slapping Lucius across the face and leaving once more feeling extremely powerful as Tom receded back into the depths of his mind once more. He went to Transfigurations and walked up to the cat petting her lovingly.
"Oh you're such a cute kitty. I'd call you Minnie but I might not live so I won't do that. Have a treat Professor!" he said shocked as the cat took the treat and ate it purring slightly before he returned to his seat. He knew he was getting weird looks from everyone but didn't care. Hermione who had been revived came into the class and recoiled when she saw Daphne sitting by his side.
"Move it Greengrass. I'm sitting there now!" she ordered as Daphne didn't even acknowledge her. Daphne picked up her book flicking through the pages stunned as Hermione grabbed her physically wrenching her out of the seat and throwing her on the ground. Tom got up and helped Daphne up checking to see if she was alright. He asked Hermione to sit down and as soon as she did he moved to sit elsewhere with Daphne. Hermione was stronger than she appeared to be and it had seemed funny to Ron that she had shoved Daphne from her chair like that but he stopped chuckling as most of the rest of the class turned and glared at him. Now he was just embarrassed. Hermione was about to kick Daphne when the cat leapt from the table turning into Professor McGonagall.
"Mr Potter that will be five points from Slytherin for being a smart arse and ten points to Slytherin for not only noticing but feeding me too. Well done. Miss Granger find yourself a seat now! You lose twenty points from Gryffindor for assaulting a fellow student!" she snapped as Hermione rolled her eyes and sighed.
"First of all she's a Slytherin so hardly just any other student and besides which she was sitting in my seat. I am determined to sit beside Tom Potter in all of his lessons. I will do it too you just mark my words!" she said seriously as Minerva reeled a little bit.
"Why are you so determined to do that?" she asked her carefully.
"Because he needs my help to get everything for all of his classes right. I caught him cheating on his charms homework!" she snapped as Minerva looked stunned.
"Mr Potter is this true?" she asked him as he scowled.
"No it most certainly is not. Miss Granger only accused me of cheating because she couldn't understand why what I had written down was not a textual transcription of my book pages. I answered in my own words. Here you can see it if you like!" he said handing it to her to read. She took it and read it quickly.
"Miss Granger there is nothing wrong with this. I will not tell you again to SIT DOWN!" she snapped as Hermione jumped. She summoned a chair to her side and sat on the other side of Tom as Minerva just rolled her eyes in exacerbation. She walked back to the front of the room.
"Welcome to transfiguration class. In these lessons you will learn how to change one item from one thing to something else. As the years continue the things you will transfigure will get more difficult. As you can see I am what we call an animagus which means I can transform myself into a cat. I am sure when you are of age at seventeen some of you may even be able to do this yourselves. For todays' lesson we will be practicing turning these matches into needles. It is just for practice and remember you are learning and will not get everything the first time. It's not your job to do that!" she said handing out the matches as she walked around the room. She gave them the incantation for it and slowly walked around the room to observe them all.
Tom looked at his match and quite clearly pictured the needle he wanted to create and waved his wand casting the charm as she saw him and gasped. There before him was a very small syringe.
"Mr Potter that was amazing! Twenty points to Slytherin for an exercise well done. I forgot to specify that it was a plain and simple sewing needle I wanted so that's on me. Your father was also a transfigurations prodigy. I shouldn't say that but he was exceptional. Mr Weasley your father was also excellent at it!" she said to Ron who had somehow managed to light his match and scared himself crying. He swiped his eyes with his hands and refocused. There was a knock at the door as a prefect called Minerva out for a moment about something.
"HOW DID YOU DO THAT? HOW DID YOU GET IT BEFORE ME?" Hermione demanded in a furious tone. She was outraged completely by everything he was doing and accused him of cheating.
"For goodness sakes I didn't cheat Granger I just focused in my mind on what I wanted to create and then did it. You heard that Professor McGonagall didn't specify what type of needle she wanted us to create so I did do it wrong as my needle was not a sewing needle. Are you seriously going to hammer me for that?" he asked her sounding exacerbated. She was being really silly and he didn't have time for her.
"Yeah anyway if you're so good why you don't you do it yourself?" Padma snapped from close to where they were seated. Hermione rounded on Padma.
"I don't care about you. I was talking to Tom anyway and not you, you silly little girl. Like you'd ever matter! Even I don't matter. Only Tom matters here because he somehow cheated. I know everything and I am meant to be teaching him how to adjust to our world!" she snapped as Draco snapped himself.
"Oh yes and what would a MUDBLOOD like you know that he wouldn't huh?" he snapped as Tom rounded on him a scowl on his face.
"No one asked for your input Mr Malfoy please see to it that you do not supply it in future unless I ask it of you. As for you Miss Granger you can just fuck right off. Stop smothering me and sitting next to me in classes. We'll never be friends and I can guarantee I'll make sure we're not friends!" he snapped as Minerva entered again.
"Mr Potter do not be so mean to others please even if they do deserve it. Mr Malfoy you will have detention for using bad words in my class tonight at eight with Mr Filch. He will know to expect you. Either choose your words carefully or shut up!" she snapped as he reeled. He'd not expected anyone to talk to him like this and was very red in the face from trying to stop himself retorting. Tom could see this was a struggle for him and delighted in it.
"But Professor I only said he cheated because he knows more than me and that shouldn't be possible due to my special circumstances!" she said rather pompously.
"Yes well his father was the best in this class when he attended school so it stands to reason he would be too. Leave him alone please and let's continue. Let me see you do it now!" she instructed as Hermione did it her needle becoming coloured with designs and ten sized larger.
"Ten points from Gryffindor for showing off. I asked for a needle and a simple one at that. You will learn to follow my instructions to the letter or you shall fail my lesson. You will serve detention this evening with Professor Snape for being ridiculous in this lesson. Class is at and end thank you everyone!" she said with a smile as Tom smiled at her and left the room hand in hand with Daphne. Daphne was in awe that she'd been thrown on the ground by Hermione but vowed to get her back later on. She was not in Slytherin for no reason and payback would be a bitch!
