"Bold" parseltongue

"You stayed awake all night?" Harry asked feeling eyes on him without opening his

"I needed to be sure" Tom said, and Harry could hear pages of a book being turned

"Why is your familiar coiled around me?" Harry asked after opening his eyes

"You stir a lot in your sleep, that stopped when she joined you" Tom murmured

"She's one to isn't she?" Harry asked rubbing Nagini's scales who gave him a pleased hiss

"She's what?" Tom asked finally moving his attention from his book to look at the teen

"A horcrux"

"I only have 3 horcruxes now, including you" Tom told him, if Harry knew about his horcruxes he'd know how many.

"Why do you need them? You're a necromancer, you have to be" Harry asked confused

"I don't, but someone wanted me to destroy my soul" Tom hissed

"He knows the prophecy then, he must do why else would he do this but what is his goal"

"The world, not just ours but control over all of it." Tom said and he sounded so sure

"I want him dead by Yule, and if not dead then out of our precious castle"

"You've already begun, the papers revealing his family secrets making the public questioned just who is in charge of their children. The ministry is in chaos since they failed to inform people of my return and now Dumbledore's being questioned. They're weak." Tom told him

"You knew?" Harry asked surprised

"I have eyes everywhere, your calm knowing who I was when you returned to Hogwarts confirmed it"

"I never hated you, I convinced myself I tried to hate you but I didn't not really. When he told me his prophecy, I got my answer to why he ruined my childhood. He tried to kill us both, we weren't supposed to survive. You returning to Hogwarts meant you had your mind back, she'd not allow you back if you were still insane. He wouldn't win." Harry admitted

"No he won't" Tom agreed with a smile. Perfect smile on a stupidly handsome face, that Harry itched to touch. All Harry not the bond, because he could've stopped himself but found he didn't want to. This was their decision and the bond wasn't active enough. Harry was a hormonal teen and he'd always wanted Tom Riddle, obsessively so. Tom was dragged on the bed and Harry flipped them over with ease, before crushing their lips together. Harry may have been on top but Tom dominated the kiss with his sinful mouth and wandering hands that cupped and squeezed his arse.

"Not today" Tom said making Harry whine but Tom didn't try to move him, willing enough to continue kissing and touching. When he bit down hard on Harry's neck, he smirked when Harry moaned, his nails digging into Tom's chest.

"Soon" he added and Harry nodded before pushing their lips together again

"Let me court you, properly" He murmured when Harry finally needed air

"Gifts and dates? Okay we can do this properly, you'll have to impress me Tom" Harry agreed slipping off the bed

"Where are you going?" Tom asked wanting to keep touching

"To school. To early in the courtship for kissing and touching." Harry pointed out and Tom sent him a glare

"You weren't complaining"

"Far from it, but you wish to court me. I should respect that, I'll just have to wait to taste your cock" Harry said his hand rubbing slowly up Tom's thigh

"Such a tease" Tom hissed before climbing gracefully of the bed and straightening his clothes and hair.

"I blame you" Harry said firmly before he thought to place his glamour. "This will settle right?" when the glamour slammed his entire body

"Some, you're magic was being used to fight the collar constantly so it's now free. You'll adjust to it"

"Time room it is then" Harry mumbled

"The what?" Tom asked curiously

"The room of requirement, it provides what you ask for. Well I need time to adjust I can't have Dumbledore suspicious of me now"

"I would never of believed such a thing was possible" Tom said in disbelief

"It's risky for those who are underage. As you still age, I've spent a lot of time in there and use time turners often too. So my inheritance might come early"

"Then I'll be with you. I will help you train and if your inheritance comes early you won't be alone" Tom said passing Harry his arm. They landed disillusioned on the 7th floor corridor where Harry walked in front of where the door should be 3 times where they slipped in. Tom noticed the wall was engraved with silver circles. Harry requested dummies but Tom vanished them.

"live target is a much faster method" Tom explained

"I can't control it, I could hurt you" Harry pointed out and Tom smirked

"Try" Tom challenged with a malicious smirk, it must of contained venom as Harry's body burned he must like venom.

Harry started with first years spells, not only to judge the difference but because duelling the Dark Lord with only first year spells was kind of fun. He found that spells came even easier, but as he had less control they overpowered easily which became distracting. So think less; he thought. So he dodged and ducked out of the way of incoming spells sending spells he'd created, sent raw shards of magic only giving them a moments thought.

"Better, but is that your best Potter?" Tom teased in a infuriating tone that Harry hated but it worked distracted him from his thoughts. Though Tom did throw him roughly against the wall, and he may be bleeding at the back of his head but that was hot, and he did moan in pleasure before he could stop it escaping.

"Are you trying to fuck me or duel me Riddle?" Harry asked cheekily before kicking Tom's feet from under him, of course Tom could fly unattended so it didn't work. A blasting hex to the legs worked well though, and Harry winced when he heard bone breaking. He dodged a vicious looking curse before throwing more raw magic shaped like needles. Tom vanished them whilst healing his leg, he'd need skele gro but it was a temporary fix.

It felt like hours when Harry straddled Tom his wand pushed into the Dark Lord's neck, and he felt a wand tapping his chest.

"Stale mate" Harry offered panting but grinning

"Stale mate" Tom agreed, Harry placed a chaste kiss on his lips as thanks before he rolled of the man.

"Some of those curses were extremely vicious" Harry said wincing as the skin on his leg knitted together

"And yours weren't?" Tom asked whilst healing the nerves in his wand arm that Harry had shredded

"I didn't say just yours, I'm surprised I hit you at all"

"You are my equal, and you're very in tune with your magic" Tom complimented "We should train together, we'd both improve"

"We should, and your minions should pair up with mine, they almost got beaten by school children"

"That will almost be fun to watch"

"No what will be fun is when they believe they've improved and we test them"

"Cruel" Tom smirked

"Of course, not as much as today's article. We should get to the hall"

"So soon it has only been a week?"

"This one is less punchy, but it needed to be close so people look for more. I can slow it down after this one" Harry explained

"Just how many secrets does the man have?" Tom asked intrigued and Harry smirked

"You'll have to wait" before leaving the room, the Dark Lord not far behind

Arriving at the great hall he sat down at the end of the Gryffindor table, sat with Neville but Harry didn't pick his head up at all knowing that numerous sets of eyes were watching him.

*Snake, how did it go?* Hermione questioned

*He removed my bind, was more then we expected I needed to adjust* Harry answered

*Did you talk about you-know-what?" Ron asked

*Prophecy and soul bond, you can say the words* Harry replied mentally rolling his eyes

*Yes those. Well?* Ron prodded

*A little, Look I know you're worried about it and me but there isn't anything you can do right now other then give me space to work it out.*

*We'll be here* they said together and he didn't need to say anything, they were his best friends they knew his emotions better then he did.

When the owls delivered the paper, Harry paid the bird swept the paper and then moved it away from him. Knowing Dumbledore would be suspicious if he started reading the paper, he spotted a red head coming towards him and he threw up some mental shields to hold of some of the pain he knew Tom would feel; he hadn't warned him. Ginny sat so close to him, she may as well of sat on his lap.

"Harry, I thought you'd agreed to wait for me this morning" She whined

"I tried but Ron and Hermione were in your common room, you know Dumbledore doesn't think it's safe us all being together. I keep telling you that we can't be seen like this either but you won't listen" Harry said softly

"No one should try to keep us apart." Ginny beamed placing a too soft kiss on his cheek

"I want you to be safe" Harry explained and Ginny nodded in understanding

"I know Harry, but he can't expect you to do this alone; without me. You need to use our love for each other to win" Ginny explained before passing him a beaker of pumpkin juice no doubt spiked with more love potion, which he would not drink

"You're right Gin, I just don't know what I'd do if I lost you too" Which would be happening soon if the searing headache was anything to by, Harry's eyes flicked to the man trying to explain that this was an act, that he had to or Dumbledore would know but Tom seemed to be concentrating on holding his glamour.

"We have classes at opposite sides of the castle, so I'll see you at lunch?" Ginny asked sweetly and Harry nodded

He walked to his DADA class with plenty of time to spare, he could feel Tom inside.

"It's not what it looks like" Harry said instantly, approaching the irate dark lord.

"Explain" Tom ordered

"She's been dosing me with love potions since third year. She's been groomed to be Lady Potter by her parents and Dumbledore. Dumbledore promised them the Potter fortune when I die. I thought it was obvious I'm gay, girls are too squishy, lumpy and even if I was into girls she'd never be my type" Harry informed him

"She's always all over you, clutching at you like a trophy" Tom hissed furiously, possessive hands gripped Harry's hips painfully

"We're you this pissed before?" Harry asked surprised

"You've always been mine" Tom said possessively

"You haven't got me yet" Harry told him

"I always get what I want"

"Then show me My Lord" before slipping out of the man's grasp as the classroom door opened and students walked in. Tom sent him a look full of promise and Harry knew he'd struggle holding out against the man for too long; but he'd try.

*Merlin Snake, that article was disgusting* Draco said shakily in his mind

*Wasn't it? Rita is brutal*

*His own brother! Arrested for having sexual relations with animals, I would've never guessed the old goat was an actual goat animagus!*

*It doesn't make it any better. Sick family all of them*

*There's more?* Draco sounded surprised

*So much more, but you'll have to wait*

*Evil*

*I know*

*We meeting later?* Luna asked sounding excited

*Yeah we are. Think I'll cook too* Harry answered before the bell sounded indicating end of lesson. He had no idea what was covered, or if he had any homework. No big deal if Tom gave him a detention he'd probably enjoy it, he walked through the many shortcuts to get him to Potions. Snape, it'd been eye opening his reaction at the intervention it almost looked like the man cared for him. Luna had recently discovered Snape's secrets, and with those Harry's opinion of the man had changed dramatically.

He wrote on a piece of parchment as he sat at the back of the classroom, then made it appear on the man's desk. To anyone else it would appear as a blank piece of parchment, Snape would see the writing and once he'd read it the parchment would vanish.

Snape paired him with Draco, keeping up the appearances just like Harry's parchment had suggested without speaking to him at all. No one would believe Snape had had a personality transplant towards him. The Slytherin and the Gryffindor hated each other.

Draco scowled at Harry as he took the seat next to him and only when Harry threw up wards did they relax. The wards would make people not look in there direction, and if they did they'd see them both with their heads down reading a textbook or stirring the potion.

"What did you send him?" Draco asked knowing it was safe to speak out loud

"he's not sneering or insulting me, I have an idea why but he can't act differently to me now. Too risky"

"He's never hated you, he's probably as tired as you of wearing a mask" Draco informed him and Harry nodded

"Yeah I know, I'll speak to him after class." Harry sighed, before adding the final ingredient in to their potion. Draco stirred the cauldron before placing it on stasis they'd continue the potion in their next lesson. Draco nodded before exiting the wards, Harry waited until Snape was alone. Sat behind his desk and rubbing a hand down his face.

"Professor Snape. I think now is a good time as any to thank you, for doing what you could to help me." Harry said sincerely

"I failed you."

"No I don't believe so. He has every professor fooled here but not you, if you intervened in my childhood they'd be no one here protecting me because you'd be dead. You can't treat me differently now Professor, after the papers he's going to be unpredictable enough"

"Very well Mr Potter"

"Only until yule" Harry confirmed

"You need to see a healer" Snape said just as Harry made to leave, making the teen freeze.

"Haven't really had time for one of those"

"That's what time turners are for" Snape smirked

"True, know any?" Harry asked

"I do, Narcissa Malfoy is willing to give you a full medical exam and I will provide any potions you may need" Snape drawled

"Right of course she is, when have you arranged it for?" Harry asked knowing Snape had already planned it

"Tomorrow evening, she had invited you for dinner. The Dark Lord will be in attendance" Snape warned and Harry smirked

"That will be fun"

"Don't you want to know why?"

"You loved my mother, not like Dumbledore believes but she was your first friend and you swore to protect me because you told your lord the prophecy without thought, It wasn't your fault, he manipulated the entire thing, us." Harry said and Snape nodded.

"As you're probably aware My Lord isn't as psychotic as he was. I know the prophecy asks a lot of you, both of you and no one will blame you if you walk away"

"I'd like to see anyone try. He's my soul mate Professor I'm not going to walk away from him without trying"

"After everything he's done?"

"Yes." Harry replied simply before leaving the classroom.

He was still reeling from the conversation when Luna joined him in his kitchen. His magic was twirling around him, why did people put so much thought into the past? He didn't want to go there, to think of his dead parents, or his childhood. He wanted to be more then that boy in the cupboard, and he knew that was him, but he was so much more. Tom was more then the man who killed his parents, would they hate him? Could he handle that?

"The Dark Lord has a very interesting stone" Luna soft voice broke his chaotic thoughts

"his stone? My father's resurrection stone? How?" Harry asked stunned

"It belonged to the Gaunt family. You should ask to borrow it, I think its time you spoke to them" Luna said softly

"I can't see them Luna, If they hate me- I just can't" Harry said shaking his head

"Would I ever hurt you?" Luna snapped and Harry turned to her

"No, you wouldn't. So I should ask for the stone?" Harry nodded dutifully, and Luna patted his cheek

"Not right now, you need to make pudding" She said before spinning and leaving the kitchen

"witches are scary." Harry whispered after her before starting to make a cheesecake.

"Yes they are" a smooth voice drawled from the corner

"Merlin Tom, why are you creeping up on me?" Harry asked, holding a hand over his fast beating heart

"The link goes both ways, and your distress was dizzying for me. What stone do I have?" Tom explained, and Harry blinked

"It's called the resurrection stone, it's a gift from my father to our ancestors; The Peverell brothers. The cloak of invisibility, the resurrection stone and the elder wand."

"Deathly Hallows. I had thought about the stone in the Gaunt ring but never felt the need to explore it, it was one of my trinkets the ring, not the stone" mused Tom whilst Harry finished his cheesecake and cast a cooling charm. "What else can you cook?"

"A lot of things. They hosted a lot of dinner parties so I learned quickly, I should hate it but find it oddly soothing" Harry shrugged before turning to face him, he swallowed when he noticed just how close the Dark Lord had come. Holding his breathe as the man leaned over him to dip a finger in the pan full of the toffee sauce.

"Hmm it's very good. I prefer sweeter, bolder tastes" Tom breathed on to Harry's neck, his tongue running up Harry's neck slowing making the teen shiver

"Don't you um have something to do?" Harry was finding it difficult to talk as Tom's intoxicating aura surrounded him. Tom smirked at him knowingly and Harry tried to glare.

"I do, I did need to give you this" Tom said handing a gold card over to Harry

"What is it?" Harry asked

"A pass. And this is a port key to your first gift." Tom added putting a necklace around Harry's neck, dangling from the chain was a golden snitch

"And just where will this take me?" fiddling with the chain

"To your first gift, take your team with you I'm sure you'll enjoy them being there" Tom said

"So glamours?" Harry asked trying to work it out

"Yes they will be necessary." Making Harry pout, Tom leaned down to kiss the pout away. A soft short kiss that wasn't enough for Harry but Tom pulled away smirked and then apparated. Leaving Harry hot and bothered, standing glaring at the spot the man had just vanished from, swearing he'd make the man pay for leaving him like this.

"Merlin that was, something to witness" Hermione commented from the doorway

"What was?" Harry asked turning to look at her

"You two together, your magic teasing each other. I'm shocked at his restraint he left" she sounded so shock that Harry had go laugh.

"I'm going to enjoy breaking it" Harry grinned before manoeuvring them both out of the kitchen. He asked Hogwarts for a table, Hermione set it with a wave of her wand and Harry summoned the food.

"Smells so good" Neville said taking a seat

"Oo lasagne, my favourite" Ron noticed, moving from the sofa to sit.

"Let's talk and eat. How did the search go?" Harry asked whilst pouring some wine

"There's something hidden in the dungeons, it could just be another entrance to the chamber though" Hermione told him

"Potentially something closer to your rooms. At first I thought they were your wards but they are to far out, and they're castle wards not Dumbledore I checked." Blaise informed him

"So two potential leads. What if I add my blood to those bracelets could that be what is missing?" Harry asked the twins

"That's possible" Fred said after sharing a look with George

"We'll look at these two, if they don't lead us anywhere then you two can play" Harry suggested and they nodded

"We have the plans for Moony" George said passing a rolled up parchment to Harry

"But?" Harry said detecting some unease

"He's bad, spends his time staring at a wall in headquarters." Fred relented

"According to our listeners he overheard a conversation between Albus and Molly" added George

"And it was explosive, he transformed into his wolf" Fred said quickly

"Yeah, and Dumbledore banished him into this room. He's locked in, compulsions webs, obliviated, suppressors creature and magic" George finished

"In my house? Why would he lock him away, why wouldn't he just kill him?' Harry asked furious

"Dumbledore plans to set him free in wolf form, during the next raid." They answered together and Harry's face could've been carved by marble he was livid, that they would use Moony in such a way.

"Tomorrow, we free him tomorrow." Ron said noticing how close Harry was to blowing up

"These canisters, are they inside the house already?" Harry asked having pushed all his emotions away

"They are, Kreacher has been helping us plant them. Once we get Moony out he's going to make it look like he escaped" Fred said

"No. They will look for him, or they'll watch me closer. I have a better idea, we'll just need Moony's hair" Harry decided

"Barty crouch junior style" Joked George

"We like it!" The twins said together

"Do we have any Polyjuice potion?" Hermione asked looking at Draco, who frowned

"Non that's ready, but Sev might"

"lycanthropy won't be present on the body" Luna pointed out

"So we need to infect someone with Lycanthropy and then switch with Moony." Ron said

"The full moon isn't for another two weeks" added Hermione

"So we need Greyback?" Asked Harry, pulling his hair when they nodded.

"Just how are we going to get Greyback?" Draco asked

"I'm going to have to ask someone for a favour" sighed Harry, downing the rest of his wine and pouring another glass.

"Good luck with that" Neville murmured

"I don't think it will be to hard Snake, just kiss him again" Smirked Hermione, making his team look at him with shocked expressions

"I hate you" he replied

"You kissed the Dark Lord when?" Neville exclaimed

"A couple times, nothing else though he is courting me, gave me this earlier" Harry said indicating the necklace "It's a portkey to my first gift and you're all invited apparently"

"Where?" Neville asked eyeing the snitch

"Won't tell me" Harry grumbled

"so we know what you'll be doing tonight, what have you got for us?" Blaise asked

"Well you venom can continue removing those loud werewolf protection officers, Bleach you can visit Snape get hold of some Polyjuice potion. Dora if you can continue looking through laws. Bishop you can come with me just to piss him off, Ori you should spend sometime with your parents and Luna you can do Luna" Harry grinned

"I feel like I pulled the short straw" Moaned Ron

"Maybe, but it'll be fun for me"

"what about us?" The twins asked

"Well don't you have something to blow up? test on yourselves? Or you could aid Venom if you really have nothing else planned" Harry suggested and Blaise nodded

"Where will we be going?" Ron asked Harry who quickly looked through the link he shared with Tom, Tom was sat in his office reading a book at Slytherin castle.

"His home"

"Malfoy Manor?" Ron asked curious, Draco shook his head

"He has his own rooms at my manor but barely uses them, I've never heard the name of his home"

"Ready for it? Slytherin Castle" Harry felt like cackling at their shocked expressions but he refrained instead he took hold of Ron's arm, gave a wave and then vanished.

Tom was jotting notes on a piece of parchment when he felt a slight twitch in his wards, the reason for it appeared in his office, looking gorgeously tempting in crimson almost black robes that framed the lithe muscular body Tom knew was hiding beneath. His eyes flickered to the teens friend; a Weasley.

"Why are you here?" Tom asked immediately

"I need a favour" Harry admitted

"Well?" Tom asked the pair

"He needs Greyback to infect someone tonight" Ron answered straight to the point

"Who do you wish for him to bite?" Tom asked curiously

"I don't care, just someone expendable" Harry shrugged, before sitting sideways in a chair opposite Tom's.

"Why the urgency?" Tom asked

"Can't you just summon him, I'll only have to explain once"

"He's not a monster, they are just stories so people fear him" Tom felt the need to point out

"That's great I still need him" Harry said getting impatient, Tom sighed before summoning a house elf.

"Find me Fenrir Greyback and bring him to me immediately" he ordered when a house elf popped in, they wore clothes. With Slytherin's house printed on the front.

"Why isn't he marked?" Ron asked before he could stop himself

"He's an alpha werewolf." Drawled Tom, Ron still looked confused so Harry interrupted

"He's not wanting to admit that he considers Greyback a friend. Plus Greyback doesn't just cover his pack, he controls the werewolves in Britain you can't just mark a guy like that, the discord in the packs would just be a giant headache"

"You seem to know me, but I don't know you at all. My Lord" A rough voice said gruffly from the door

"Fenrir, come sit" Tom ordered, conjuring a chair

"Why have you called me?" Fenrir asked Tom

"They need your assistance" Drawled Tom and Fenrir frowned

"Who even are they?"

"Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley" Tom told him

"Potter, what could you possibly need me for?" Fenrir growled

"Remus Lupin, of course you know who he is. He's currently locked away in my house, behind wards, wrapped in compulsions webs, obliviates and suppressors." Harry started before a ferocious growl interrupted him

"Why would you do that?" snarled Fenrir

"I didn't, my house that's being used as order headquarters. The old man plans to use moony on the next raid. He transformed into his wolf, in front of them tried to attack them after he overheard a conversation. I can get him out, I just need a dead body to leave behind"

"A body infected with Lycanthropy" Realised Fenrir

"Yes, I could've easily killed one of yours but this way would be less complicated."

"I agree, I want to see Lupin's face when he realises I saved him again" Fenrir grin had to many teeth.

"Right, you'll possibly have chance to tell him yourself. Depending on how this goes" Harry motioned

"I need the wizard" Fenrir said

*I need one wizard, got any handy?* Harry asked Blaise

*You ruined my fun*

*I'll make it up to you or rather Bishop will*

Harry reappeared after a few minutes with an unconscious wizard which he unceremoniously dumped on the ground.

"Who is he?" Fenrir asked

"Tom, are you sure he's an alpha werewolf? Sounds a bit too attached to his conscious" Harry mocked whispered from his seat

"I recognise his scent from somewhere, I'm still going to save my cub" Fenrir snarled

"He's a loud mouth officer of the werewolf protection unit" Ron informed him and Fenrir bit into the man's neck without a moments thought.

"Tom?" Fenrir asked his lord after discarding the wizard back onto the ground

"Long story" Tom said simply

"We have time" Fenrir grinned

"It's not that interesting, however whilst we're here wouldn't now be a good time to talk about your sanctuary Snake?" Ron enquired looking at Harry

"You fund Iris's shop?" Fenrir asked surprised "You're that Snake?"

"Yeah, she had all these ideas and no money. I gave her the money" Harry shrugged

"Not just the money, those runes for protection, and the wards on her shop it's practically invisible" Fenrir exclaimed

"Well someone had to do something, and those wards are goblin wards of course they're good."

"Why would you do this for werewolves?" he asked

"The first time I saw Moony transform, I wasn't scared I was furious. He was a complete mess, matted fur, skinny, feeble looking werewolf. He refused to stop taking the wolfsbane, he'd been pushed to thinking that werewolves were savage animals so much so that he was willingly poisoning himself. This year I can finally do something about it, why save one when you can aid them all"

"And how do you want to do that?" Fenrir asked warily

"I've seen where werewolves live, in make shift homes, barely any food, clothes, it's pathetic what you're forced to live like and with the wwp you're being hunted. So I renovated one of my properties, with enough land for wolves to self sustain themselves if they wish but behind wards that will only permit werewolves. Clothes, wands, beds. You'll have to see it or you'll doubt me" Harry said when Fenrir looked in disbelief

"How do you have properties?"

"I was emancipated in 4th year, I'm a Lord of a few houses." Harry said

"A ward that only permits werewolves?" Tom asked intrigued

"Yeah, took me some time but I twisted the anti werewolf ward to give me what I needed. I'll still be able to enter, as will you" Harry told Tom before turning to Fenrir " If you're willing then I could allow a few more access to help you run the place, bored cubs need entertaining."

"We don't trust wizards" Fenrir sneered

"I get it, I don't trust them either, but if you want to become integrated with society then you need to start somewhere" Harry told him

"I'll have to see it first" Replied Fenrir and Harry nodded

"Now anyone want to tell me why you two aren't killing each other" he asked looking between Harry and Tom

"We're soul mates" Harry said

"Of course you are, didn't stop him before" Fenrir replied with a tilt of his head towards the Dark Lord

"Hmm right well thanks for this I need to go make him swallow some polyjuice before he dies. I'll be in touch" Harry said before vanishing with both Ron and the newly turned werewolf

"that was Harry Potter wasn't it?" Fenrir asked needing confirmation "My Lord"

"Yes"

"He's so dark, and tempting." Observed Fenrir

"And mine" Tom snapped

"He doesn't seem to be the type to just submit" mused Fenrir

"He's not, but circumstances demand it" Admitted Tom

"Then don't make it harder for him" Fenrir said rising before calling an elf to return him.

"I need a drink" Tom Riddle sighed to his empty office.
