Here is the next chapter. For future reference Tom Senior is Tom Riddle and Tom Junior is Harry Potter. Please read and review thanks, love Angel x
Tom walked down the hallway to his next lesson. It was his first DADA lesson. As he entered the classroom with his peers there was a huge banging sound but suddenly it followed with a slight shriek as Sirius found himself hanging upside down by his ankle as Tom held his wand out in front of him. "You must always have constant vigilance sir that noise could have been anything!" he scolded letting a stunned Sirius down. Sirius had intended to shock them all by saying how weak they were but couldn't do that now. Tom had panicked and reacted on instinct. He walked up to Sirius quickly panic visible on his face not really sure how he speak. "I'm so sorry sir but the noise scared me and I panicked are you alright?" he asked as Sirius laughed heartily.
"Yes Tom my lad I am fine. You will remain after class as we need to talk. Find yourselves a desk and sit anywhere you like. In DADA class we will all respect one another and learn over time to trust one another. If you are out there in the field and something should happen to you, you need to know you can trust whoever is with you no matter which house they were in whilst at school. I'll let you in on a secret shall I? After you finish in school permanently no one cares which house you've been in. I understand how shocking that must be for some of you but it is the truth. The first spell we will learn is the disarming charm. Without a wand your opponent is less of a threat!" he said as everyone watched him with rapt attention. He had their full undivided attention for now and he loved it. As they moved through the lesson he taught everyone the charm. It wasn't perfect but it was amazing what people could do with a little encouragement.
"Well done everyone now for your homework I want one sheet of parchment on the charm and why you feel it is one of the most important charms you ever learn in DADA class. Class dismissed!" he said as everyone packed up and left. He invited Tom into his office where he had hot chocolates and slices of vanilla cheesecake waiting for them.
"Sit down Tom. I missed you so much. How have you been getting on? Tell me everything!" he enthused as Tom smiled brightly.
"Oh Sirius it's so wonderful. I love charms class. Professor Flitwick is truly amazing. He really helped me out when I needed help before. In fact he was the only who seemed to see that I did need the help. I know we're not the first class you've had yet but how have you settled in so far?" he asked as Sirius smiled brightly.
"It's so wonderful. Do you remember my tails of the Marauders and their Marauders Map? Well the Weasley twins had it and did not wish to give it up until I told them Padfoot demanded they hand it over. They were so stunned they kept bowing repeatedly and telling me they weren't worthy. I reckon I have some serious fans!" he said with a laugh as Harry joined him giggling. It was funny after all.
"Sirius they're really cool. I've met them a few times and they are so lovely. I'm friends with their younger brother Ronald as well. He's very cool. He has his own house elf too. It was a bit of a shock for his mum and dad I'm sure!" he said laughing as Sirius looked at him tears in his eyes all of a sudden confusing Tom greatly.
"I love you so much Tom. Your parents would be so very proud of you. You always manage to make me so proud. You should know that Severus and I have had words. Suffice it to say he's so very different I hardly even recognised him. We both apologised for the things we did and said in the past and have happily moved on. He really is a lovely man. I don't know what made him change but it's been a great thing anyway. How is Dora?" he asked as Tom flushed bright red.
"She's very vivacious and annoying. I do really like her but it does seem she doesn't have a shutdown button. I'm assuming she's full of nervous excitement right now which will hopefully calm down later. She was teasing me about sexual matters the other day. I'm not old enough to know about that yet. It was very awkward because she's so pretty and her chest is um large!" he said with a cough as he blushed and Sirius laughed so hard he was crying tears of joy.
"Oh Tom you do keep me young. I love it. Dora is full of nervous energy but once she calms down you'll be glad of her. Be glad for that big chest of hers too as many men love women like that but she's all yours!" he said as Tom nodded once.
"Now Tom I should warn you that Dumbledore has asked me not to spend time getting to know you and he doesn't know we already know each other well enough. I will not be telling him that either as it's not his business. If he gives you any grief about it tell him where to go or send him to me and I'll do it for you. He doesn't get to do that. Now I must send you on your way because I have a class in ten minutes. Love you kiddo!" he said hugging Tom and kissing his forehead as Tom revelled in the warm and cosy secure feeling he always got from Sirius. Sirius always made him feel like he was the only one who would ever matter and he loved it so much. He was on his way back his common room when a summons to the headmasters arrived to him via another student who'd been sent looking for him. He approached the gargoyle at the same time as Cedrella Weasley and they both nodded to one another. Being the gentleman he was he allowed her to climb the stairs first for which she thanked him. When they entered the office Dumbledore sputtered from behind his desk.
"Cedrella what on earth are you doing here?" he asked looking at her bewildered.
"Well I was going to ask to speak with Mr Potter here but you got there before I could so here I am. Thank you for that by the way. Mr Potter have a seat please. I will tell you now that although four of my grandsons are in this school and my granddaughter will attend here next year my job is to look after the school. I love them dearly no question but I do not allow them being here to inhibit me in my job and I ask that you do not allow the presence of your godfather here at the school to inhibit you in your role as a student. Was there anything else you actually needed Albus as I am sure you were just as worried about getting this message across as I was" she said undermining him totally in his own office and loving the powerful feeling it gave her.
"Actually ma'am I already knew he was my godfather. I will spend time when I can but that will only happen when either of us are free and not working or studying probably at the weekends. Thank you for thinking of me though. I know your grandsons and they are so lovely. You should be very proud ma'am!" he gushed politely as she blushed.
"Thank you Mr Potter. Was there anything else you needed Albus?" she asked him again as he scowled deeply.
"I wished to have a private word with Mr Potter here so please tell me what it is you need from me and then leave!" he ordered as she chuckled.
"I just knew you summoned him here so I came here to be sure you wanted to see him for an educational reason as one does hear rumours but can never be too sure" she answered him carefully. Scowling even further as he couldn't do as he wanted he dismissed her and told Tom to be friends with Hermione before he left. He had said it like an order. For some reason he couldn't explain he thought that Hermione would make a great friend for him something he felt compelled to tell him to do. It would seem he'd put measures in place in case his own memory was erased and seemed to remember he needed Tom to be her friend but not why it mattered which bothered him very much. Such is the situation when ones memory has been erased. He had heard that Severus had been teaching his classes better than ever before and was wholly unhappy about it. With the way he was going everyone was going to start to liking Slytherin house something he'd die before allowing to occur. What a mess.
