Lord Voldemort sat behind a desk in the body of the man he had possessed.
How could no one else see what Dumbledore had been doing to the wizarding world?
Dumbledore had placed an imperious curse on him when he turned thirteen,
he had him split his soul and torture Muggles Muggleborns and Halfbloods.
The truth was he might not have liked muggles and he hated his father for leaving his mother, but he would have never killed him or any of them after all not all muggles were the same.
Dumbledore had even set up a fake prophecy and told him it was real.
The backfiring killing curse slowly undid the curse he had been placed under.
As he was lost in thought he jumped when he a harsh tik against the window,
There on the window sill sat a snowy white owl glaring at him as if demanding to be let in.
This intrigued him and he opened the window with a wave of his hand.
The owl flew over to where he sat and held her leg out expectantly he took out his wand and waved it over the letter there were no spells on it he took the letter.
After reading it he didn't know what to think this person had seen through Dumbledore's grandfatherly act and the innocent act of the ministry.
He wrote back.
Dear unknown,
Does this curious young man have a name? If so it would give me great pleasure knowing who I write to.
you are right all is not as you are told by the ministry but most of all what you are told by Albus Dumbledore.
I will tell you of my real plans and why they haven't been enacted.
My plan for the wizarding world is to stop the restriction of magic.
I know that a little restriction in which magics you are allowed to use has to be restricted but the ministry is now restricting magic itself.
I also want even chances for all beings and mixed breeds.
The dark side as it is called does not discriminate we just wish for our traditions to be upheld as they are meant to be just like muggles we have our holidays and traditions,
a muggle-born may view them as barbaric since they have lived all their lives within the muggle world and no introduction classes are now offered to them.
My plans haven't been enacted because I can only tell you when I know your name and what age you are.
However, in your next letter, you may address me as Tom this way no one will be too suspicious of them.
sincerely Tom.
The owl hadn't left the room jet so I gave it the letter as it flew away. I get a feeling that there is going to be something big happening very soon.
Meanwhile with Harry.
I had been reading my book for an hour now when Ron and Hermione came storming in.
Harry, what are you doing? Hermione asks sweetly.
reading a book, I answer.
Why don't you come with me and we can play some chess?
I thought about it for a minute, sure why not I say.
They smile at me creepily and I start to change my mind.
But before I can Ron pulls me off my bed I put my book in my trunk and leave.
After two hours of playing, I want to go back to reading my book.
Come on mate, one more game Ron says as I'm about to go back to my dorm.
No thank you, I would rather go back to my book.
He jumps up and tries to tackle me I easily sidestep, what is your problem? I shout at him.
Now everyone is looking at us.
You alright there harry? George asks.
Yes, i'm fine, I just want to go back to reading my book now yet your brother won't let me I tell him.
Bugger off, Ronald he says to Ron.
Ron looks nervously at the stairs to the boy's dorm.
What is wrong? Ron, Fred, and Neville ask at the same time
Nothing he says trying to play innocent.
Let go and find out I tell the three of them.
We go up to my dorm and see Hermione go through my stuff.
Where is it it was in here last year so where is it now she asks herself
Looking for something? I ask coldly.
Harry yeah, I was wondering where your invisibility cloak is she says.
That is none of your business and even if it was I still wouldn't tell you but since it isn't I hope you have an amazing explanation for your actions.
I-I was just getting it back for Dumbledore since he gave it to you.
Do you mean the priceless family heirloom he stole after the death of my parents and then gave to me?
Of course, he didn't steal it he is your magical guardian and the greatest wizard alive.
I do not have a magical guardian because I was never meant to be raised by muggles.
Aunt petunia became my secondary guardian and my official guardian would be my godfather but I have no idea as of now, who that is.
Of course Harry I'm sorry she smiles she leaves and we follow her without her noticing a single thing.
How did it go Ron asks that little brat if I wasn't getting paid to be his friend I would have slapped him across the face so often for his cheek to the headmaster.
Do you think we should tell Dumbledore he is slipping from his mask Ron asks her no I think it is good he keeps to himself?
We all went back up to my dorm.
Alright, we have to come up with a plan so that the old man doesn't find out what i'm doing,
but where Neville asks.
I will figure that out get the rest to meet in the library in 20 I tell them they nod and leave.
Dobey, I call and with a pop, the house-elf is in front of me.
Yes, master Harry is needing something.
Dobey, I need a room where no one can find me not even the headmaster.
master Harry is needing the come-and-go room. he says smiling.
The what.
the come and go room be on the 7th floor across from the wizard trying to teach trolls to dance.
thanks, Dobey you have been a great help.
he pops out with a small bow after I told him at the moment I didn't need anything else.
I go to the library and meet with the rest.
So where are we going? Daphne asks.
The seventh floor.
I lead them to the tapestry Dobey was talking about and use my magic to see if there is something there.
And there is it is a description of how to get into the room.
I walk past the wall three times thinking of what we will need.
After the third time, the door appears and I go in see in a room where we can train our spells and have access to a lot of knowledge let the planning start I think to myself I can see the others share a mischievous smile.
It had been a week since me and my friends had found the room of requirement as we decided to call it we spend every moment we could in there but of course, no one could know where we were going but the room had helped a lot with that since 1 hour in here was 10 minutes outside.
that evening I decided to write a letter to Voldemort since it had been the usual 3 days we had set up between our responses since we both had other things to do as well.
Dear Tom.
How are you i'm well thank you?
I know that I have yet to mention anything about myself well you have finally got your wish.
I'm a 13-year-old Hogwarts student and my best subject are runes potions and defense against the dark arts.
Now you are probably thinking why does he give me this information all of a sudden he must want something I do I wish to meet with your exchange for the information in the letter but if you decline all communication will stop and I will continue the search for answers on my own once again.
Sincerely yours Noah Evans.
I send Hedwig on her way with the letter and go to bed the receiver of the mail not far from my mind
with Voldemort.
I sit in an armchair in Lucius's office reading a book as the man is busy with some paperwork my form was now rather serpentine but there was a way for me to get my normal body back
at the start of the next school year, I would be back to my handsome self again.
I'm brought out of my musings by a sharp tap on the window I look up and it is the same snowy owl that always brings the letter of this mystery person with a wave of my hand I open the window
I read the letter the owl has for me it was always waiting for a response.
Lucius when is the first Hogsmeade weekend? I ask.
the weekend of Halloween would be the first Hogsmeade weekend.
have a meeting room booked at the three broomsticks for that weekend.
he nods and I start writing a reply to Noah Evans.
Dear Noah Evans.
I would like to meet you on the Hogsmeade weekend of Samhain on that Saturday if this date is of inconvenience please write me before that date.
We will meet at the three broomsticks I will rent a meeting room for us.
I hope you are well.
Tom.
I give it to the owl waiting for the reply she leaves out the open window.
I was a bit nervous to meet the young man that has been writing to me for the last month.
Now I would have to wait another month but it would be worth it, I hoped.
Hedwig came through the window in the great hall with a letter around her leg.
She landed in front of me I took the letter and put it in my robe and gave Hedwig a piece of bacon she packed at my finger and flew away. I look at my friends and we all get up Harry where are you going? Hermione asks. I promised Neville I would help him with defense against the dark arts. But then why are you all getting up then? Ron asks.
Maybe, Weasley, we have homework to do too? Daphne says angrily. He looks at her sheepishly.
We leave the great hall.
We go to the room of requirement and I pull out the letter and read it
He wants to meet with me on the day before Halloween I tell them they nod we will have about a month to prepare said, Blaise. I nod.
Alright, the first problem is how are you getting out of the castle unseen. Susan says.
That is right your uncle didn't sign the permission form. Neville said.
I have an idea on how to fix that problem all of you just have to make sure no one follows me I tell them alright we will make sure Draco and his group are busy. Blaise says. We will do the same with the other houses.
The second problem is how are you gonna hide who you are? Hannah asks.
I have that problem solved as well I tell them just as the twins come in.
How at the moment i'm wearing a glamour.
What they all say in disbelieve yes do you want to see what I really look like? they nod.
I take down my glamour they gasp.
We had no idea that this is what you really look like.
I might have an idea on how to keep the other houses busy during the Hogsmeade weekend, Fred says. pre-tell what is it? I ask. We could set up a scavenger hunt with some prices that way no one will notice that you are gone and the teachers will be too busy to notice as well.
Alright, go ahead, if you need anything from me just ask.
We spend the rest of the month planning.
Today was the day I was going to meet with Voldemort if everything went according to plan, I would meet with Voldemort and no one would notice I was gone it is time, luna says I let out a sigh and put my invisibility cloak on and slip to one of the passageways that would lead to Hogsmeade.
I go into an alleyway right before the three broomsticks take off my cloak take down my glamour and change my clothes.
I walk into the three broomsticks the bell at the door rings as I walk to the bar the floor beneath my feet creeks softly with wear, I go up to Rosmerta.
Hello, love what can I do for you she asks with a soft smile on her face.
I have a meeting at noon in one of your meeting rooms under the name riddle, I tell her she nods. Do you want to wait in the room? she asks. I nod she leads me to the room where you go dear your appointment will arrive by floo afterward the fireplace in your room will be closed off. I nod in understanding. I look at my watch it was five minutes to noon Could you please get me a glass of water? Of course dear. There was a jug of water standing on the coffee table with two glasses with a slight wave of her hand. thank you. No problem if you need anything else to ring the bell on the side table it will summon a house elf for you. With that, she leaves and I sit down in the chair facing the fireplace as the clock strikes noon the flames turn green, and out steps the dark lord looking like he did in the camber just a bit older but I knew it was an glamour.
Voldemort I greeted him mister Evans he says sitting down across from me.
so what do you want to know he asks I want to know how things have changed as regarding your plans I tell him. why? he asks wearily. I sigh, because you told me that not all is as Dumbledore makes it seem and I believe you in that but if you want me to believe you are really not just like him you will have to convince me.
Very well, he says with a small grin. I don't wish to kill all muggle-borns and muggles.
Instead, I want to integrate muggle-born children into the wizarding world when they are seven, the hate of most purebloods comes from the fact that muggle-borns don't understand their traditions and believes and that they want to change everything. I smile at that it was truly a lot of muggle-borns wanted to change things that they didn't understand but that was their muggle upbringing. wizards seemed to be more accepting but then again they were racist in their own ways.
Well, nothing you can do about human nature, I tell the older man he hums. yeah, you are probably right, but it is only a few that are extreme in their beliefs.
I sigh sadly those are the people in power most of the time and because they are in power people are quicker to believe them, and Dumbledore used that to gain power right you are mister Evans. Voldemort says with a chuckle you are quite intelligent for one your age.
Thank you, I have sadly seen the world for what it is a place where most people judge without knowing the truth. so I try not to do that and judge people on their actions instead.
But what gave you a change of heart I mean history shows that what you are against now was at one point your plan. When I was thirteen Albus dumbledore put the imperious curse on me.
What happened about 12 years ago on Samhain freed me of that curse and I slowly regained my sanity last year one of my followers found me and returned me to a physical form.
What do you really look like? I ask. He looks shocked at the question. You can see my glamours? He asks, I nod. I have read and studied them a lot last year so yeah I know how to see if someone is wearing them. Can I see what you really look like? I ask. Fine, but you have to know it isn't permanent, I nod. I already kind of guessed that it wasn't I tell him.
He lets the glamor dorp and the man in front of me is a hairless noseless being with skin a white as snow with scales in some random places. Long spidery fingers were wrapped around the armrest of the chair he was sitting in and he was looking at me with ruby-red eyes.
So what do you think about the mistreatment of many magical raises? I ask him.
you are not discussed at the way I look? Voldemort asks. Clearly not expecting me to just continue the conversation after he revealed what he really looked like. No, I'm not you said it wasn't permanent and you are at least a bit human believe it or not I have seen worse.
Very well then as for your question on the treatment of other magical raises.
I find it ridiculous did you know it is mostly dumbledore and his muggle-loving followers that pushed those laws, no I had no idea but why would he do that. He always preaches to us to include others. That is how he masks all his actions like an act of kindness, but you shouldn't be fooled by his actions. Does this satisfy your thirst for knowledge? Yes, it does and fills in some of the blanks in my mind. good, he says getting up. Wait you don't want to know anything about me. no, because I hope to get to know you through your letters, to me. I smile. So this was just to make sure I would keep writing to you? what can I say your letter is at least never boring and with a flash of green flames he disappears into the floo network. I let out a sigh and go to the bar and pay Rosmerta for the use of the room. I get back into the castle the same way I left and meet up with my friends. How did it go? Susan asks. It went well or at least I think it did.
Hey look at it this way George says hanging an arm over my shoulder he didn't kill you, that is something right.
Yeah, it is I say grinning at all of them.
