Obliviated Memory/Flashback
"Now my boy…I believe there are several things we need to clear up." Dumbledore murmured as he stared at the boy. Damien's inquisitive emeralds were glazed and his body was relaxed as the Veritaserum took control. "You thought I'd be stupid enough to put it in the pot of tea, didn't you? Well, my boy, it was in your cup already." He mocked before his face became serious, "Now how about we have some truths come out. Were you Harry James Potter?"
"Yes."
"Hmm, I see. I must congratulate you, my boy, you did hide that little fact very well. Who is your father?"
"Tom Marvolo Riddle Junior." Dumbledore stood, having assumed the answer and continued to ask questions about the Dark Lord and Damien's thoughts of the man. "I believe my dad's motives are good. The world needs what he plans to do." Albus grew furious.
When he was finished asking questions he forced the antidote down the youth's throat, the Slytherin didn't even have a second to understand what was going on before a wand was put between his eyes and his world turned black. Next thing he knew he was waking up in an alcove by Gryffindor Tower with Dumbledore informing him that he had been worried about the boy's health.
Obliviated Memory/Flashback End
Damien relayed the situation to Snape, his eyes watering as he spiralled quickly to a panic attack. A calming draught was eased down his throat by the Potions Master.
"Ssh. It's not your fault. Don't worry Damien."
"I…but I…I just got…got dad to…to like me…again…he…he'll hate…hate me…a…again."
"No, he won't. He'll be furious but not at you. I'm sure Blaise and Theo are waiting outside, go to them and I'll write you your dad. Just make sure you're with someone at all times."
—LINE BREAK—
"Dami, no one blames you-"
"Yeah, it was that sick old fool-"
"Who's at fault here." Came the Weasley Twins finishing in unison,
"But-" He started to protest but was cut off,
"No Dami, he was wrong and you were alone so you didn't have any option to not go with him." Murmured Neville
"Your Gryffindor's are right Damien," Blaise whispered hugging the emotionally compromised youth,
"But now…now he knows who…who I was." No one knew how to reply to that statement, so they remained quiet in the Room of Requirement. It was a peaceful silence. Damien snuggled between Blaise and Theo, who were reading, Neville was doing his Herbology homework and the Twins were…well, plotting someone's demise it would seem…
Their peace was interrupted by a boy. Draco to be exact.
"Ssh, Dami's sleeping." Stated Theo quietly,
"What do you want Draco?" Blaise whispered
"I wanted to know how he was."
"Why do you care?" Came multiple voices,
"Because of …well…I…" He sighed at his stuttering and sat down, his head in his hands and his elbows on his knees, "I…I love him."
"And he still loves you." Murmured Blaise as he looked at the sleeping boy,
"You've got a lot to make up for Draco Malfoy." Understanding the undertone in Theo's voice, the blond nodded and stood, leaving the group alone.
—LINE BREAK—
Tom was having fun down in the dungeons watching Bellatrix in her element. No matter how good his ideal and wishes for Wizarding Britain may be. Never let it be said that he was a kind man. He enjoyed torture as long as the victim deserved it and was no innocent. Which led him here, in the darkest parts of his dungeon relaxing on a comfortable chair with a glass of red liquid (whether it was wine or blood, we'd never know…although it was most likely wine) watching with a smile as Bellatrix tortured their recent capture.
"Now now Bella, dear. I wish to talk to the filth whilst she's still verbal and well…not covered in her guts."
"Yes my lor -sorry, yes Tom. Shall I wait here or go away?" Tom smiled kindly at the slightly saner but still absolutely insane woman,
"I believe you should go find the Lestrange brothers, they probably feel as though they are missing out on the fun. After all, this is mostly about their godson/nephew as well as yours."
"Certainly!" Then Bellatrix skipped out of the dungeon with a grin on her face that made the Dark Lord shiver ever so slightly.
"Hello Dolores Umbridge" He drawled at the whimpering pink toad, "Did you know that my son was Damien Riddle? Hmm, no? Well, I guess if you had known you would not have tortured him would you?" He grabbed her hair, tugging harshly so his red eyes met her brown one.
"T..the Minister…will have you…killed for this!" She shrieked,
"Will he now? Well, I guess it sucks for you that he doesn't even believe that I am back." He released her, kicking her away from him. "Do you have any idea what it's like to know that your child was too afraid to tell anyone? My son felt that no one would believe him. We had had a falling out, so he probably felt he couldn't tell me." He breathed in and smiled maliciously at the woman, "Dolores Umbridge. Do you have any idea how much you're screwed? The Minister won't help you, don't you know what that would do to his apparent image. Plus he won't be in power long enough to help. You are a sadistic cowardly bitch who takes pleasure in abusing innocent children who can't do anything about it." He crouched in front of the toad, lifting her chin with his long index finger,
"There is so much I wish to do to you. So many spells, so many curses. I wish to use Muggle torture techniques too, that would be very ironic, don't you think? After all, you despise them so very very much. But alas, I can't." He stood, walking out of the cell, making sure it locked behind him and as he walked away to meet Snape, he spoke for a final time, "I do not know whether you should be glad I am not torturing you or more terrified. After all, it is Bellatrix Lestrange and the Lestrange brothers who will be having fun with you and let me tell you, those three are very creative and vicious. Plus they are very fond of their godson, Damien. Anyway, I hope you last a while, Bellatrix has been looking forward to this and we wouldn't want you to die quickly."
—LINE BREAK—
Severus found himself in the Dark Lord's living room that very evening. The glass of Firewhiskey in his hand was quickly drained and as the black haired Potions Master went to fill it up again, Tom strode into the room with a look of concern on his face.
"Hello, Severus. I was rather shocked by your request to come over, it is very unusual for you especially on a school night." The man murmured loudly as he too poured a drink, "And you've broken out the Firewhiskey."
"We have a problem." Severus said bluntly before staring the man straight in his eyes, "It regards your son and Dumbledore." That caught Tom's attention, he sat straight up, body tense.
"What has the old fool done to my son?" He hissed angrily almost in Parseltongue,
"It would be best to show you." He let Voldemort go through his memories of the Obliviate and the memory. Finally, Tom came out, practically stumbling even though he was sitting down.
"So…Albus finally knows." He murmured swirling the bronze coloured liquid in his glass around, "Go back to Hogwarts Severus, be prepared for three days time. I shall send word tomorrow with any and all information you will require." Tom stated, standing up he followed Severus to the floo, "And Severus, thank you." The man nodded and took off. The moment he was gone, Tom's eyes flashed red and his hand tightened around the glass until it broke sending shards and alcohol flying across the floor and down his arm.
"My Lord?"
"Bella please, it is Tom. I have told you this far too many times." Smiled the man as he watched the liquid mix with his bleeding cuts from the glass shards,
"I apologise To…Tom. Shall I clean your arm?" She asked with a confused look at the man's arm,
"No, it is alright." With a wave of his wand, Tom had cleaned and healed his arm along with the floors mess. "Bella, three days from now, we will be going to Hogwarts. Albus Dumbledore must be eliminated, he is too much of a threat." He paused and looked at the woman, standing in front of her, "I ask that you prepare the others."

"Hey, Luna! Where've you been?" Called Fred who was still plotting Hell with George, she smiled and sat with them in the Room of Requirement.
