Chapter Two
Present time:
Flashes of brilliant Green, Scarlet, white, silver, blue and others hit Harry at once surrounding him in a rainbow of color. Pain that Harry had never felt in his entire short life hit him as he was blinded by the spells that hit him. Screaming out in agony he folded in on himself, curling into a ball he tried to endure what was happening. Even though it felt like he was being pulled apart in several directions.
Phoenix song soon filled his ears and he knew that what ever happened he would be alright. Then the world went black and it felt like he was being squeezed through a tube no bigger than a Knut.
While that was happening, outside the swirl of magic that encased their saviour, the order was trying to figure out how to get him out, so they could finish this. Finish the fight against Voldemort and his death eater's. But to do that they needed their scape goat, which was currently being transported to the past, where no one could hurt him. Bodies scurried on the outside trying to find an opening to pull him out but to no avail there wasn't one.
Soon enough though the brilliant colors of spells shot into the sky and turned to fire, all that was left of Harry was a scar in the ground, in the shape of a lightning bolt. Fawx flew above the scar singing his song as he sent his young friend on the journey of his life.
Everyone stood there and stared in disbelief, not truly understanding what just happened.

In The Past
Tom
As I prowled the halls to my classes in a foul mood, everyone avoided me and that was how I liked it. I wasn't happy at finally being prised from your side and led from the infirmary by Dumbledore. I took several showers after that just to feel slightly normal, which is a laugh I have never been normal. Not until I met you, I felt nothing until that day when a gem fell into my life.
I've been feeling an ache in my heart, an emptiness that's been following me since I was forced to leave your side. It's been a month and no one has told me what's going on. For all I knew they had sent you away.
Reaching the door to history of magic I stopped, looking around wondering who had spoken. My classmates walked past me as I stood there transfixed trying to figure out if I was going insane like Dumbledore wanted me too. Yes I knew exactly what his plan was for me, and I'm pretty sure he would do everything in his power to keep us apart.
Growling I turned from the door and headed to the headmasters office I was going to demand what was going on. I had the right to know, it was my lap you fell in not theirs, and it was with me you had a connection. Although I wasn't even sure why I even cared, I was supposed to be heartless and evil. But something had ignited in me as soon as our eyes had met. So on I went to the office of Headmaster Dippit.
(~*~*~)
Harry
It's been a month since I had fallen into the past and the arms of a teenage Voldemort, which even the thought of him, sent shivers down my spine. I was sitting in front of a much younger Dumbledore and the Headmaster which if I remembered right was called Dippit. They have grilled me and grilled me ever since I had been released from the infirmary, but I have given up nothing just that I was from England and that I was an orphan, my parents being killed in a freak accident, and that I was the only survivor and that I was magical, and my name was Harrison Parker. That was all that they need to know, so that was all I told them, I also asked if I could stay here and go to class.
That was what they were discussing when a very angry Tom burst in, and I do mean burst in. the door of Dumbledore's office went flying across the room, nearly taking off heads. But years of always having to look over my shoulder and fast reflexes, I hit the floor and rolled out of harms way coming up wand in hand. The two professors almost didn't make it, if Dumbledore hadn't flicked his hand to the side when he did, there would have been to dead professors, and the door hit the wall by the window, crashing to the floor.
"Tom! What is the meaning of this?" Bellowed Dippit, but Tom didn't hear him for he had eyes for only one person. I had snagged his attention as soon as the smoke and debris had cleared, walking over he stopped in front of me. The emptiness that was within left him, the ache disappearing as he reached out to touch my smooth skin. Our sighs were in unison, as I leaned into the touch of the most feared man in the world. Not quite sure why I felt this way when he was near but I did.
'I Harry Potter was falling for Lord Voldemort, and have been since year two down in the chamber of secrets when the apparition of a sixteen year old Tom Riddle had emerged from the shadows, I was hooked.'
It would appear no matter what I had done in the future (my present) to get rid of those feelings, they came back full force now and I almost gave into him right then, but I managed not to. Though I couldn't hide the sigh or leaning in when he touched me, that I couldn't help.
'Wait' my brain thought 'he isn't that yet, hmmm maybe there was hope to stop what happens in the future and to save every one that I loved' with that thought I aloud the caress and stared into those dark violet-sapphire eyes which had a hint of red in.
'Interesting' I thought 'I was told that he had dark green eyes, like me. Very interesting! So Dumbledore what else have you told me that is a lie.'
The two Professors stared on in disbelief, their plan to keep the two apart crumble a little, but there might be hope that Harrison will be sorted into a different house and their plan will come to completion.
Ha…
It seemed that even Hogwarts was against them as the next day in the Great Hall, in front of the whole school Harrison Parker was sorted into Slytherin.
'NOOOO!' Dumbledore mentally screamed as he watch his plan fall into a million pieces, as Harry got up, set the sorting hat on the stool, he walked over to the Slytherin table. Alphard Black slid over to make room next to Tom. Green met Violet-sapphire and a spark flickered between them. As he sat down Harry felt a familiar heat on his neck, smiling to himself, he whispered Fawx.
Fawx flew up into the rafters and settle himself down to watch over his young friend and the new path his life will take on this journey in the past.
In the weeks that followed, Fawx noticed that Harry and young Tom were getting very close. He chuckled to himself every time someone talked to Harry and Tom stood by watching and growling. It made his day to see him like that; Fawx was a very pleased phoenix.

Tom
I couldn't believe my luck as the sorting hat sorted you into my house, I couldn't have been more elated. But of course I was the perfect mask of indifference until you came over and sat next to me. It took all my self control not to mark you as mine, but the possessive nature in me wanted to rear its evil head, despite my best efforts. But in the end I won like I always do. So I watched as you came over and looked at me as you took your seat. Our eyes locked and what I felt the first time our eyes met coursed through my veins and my heart nearly burst from my chest.
'What is happening to me?' I thought as I dragged my eyes from your gem ones, and stared at my breakfast not really hungry any more. No I was a different hungry now, hungry for you, for your touch, your look, you smile, your…erg. A low growl escaped my lips as I stood and left the hall, needing to get away from you and yet needing to be as close as I can to you.
As soon as the doors closed behind me I ran, heading to the one place I new I could be alone. The Chamber, the only place no one else knows of, the one place I could be alone, the one place that I vented and dropped my mask. Letting the true me out, the side that I've done everything to squash and never let out again. I've been doing that ever since I was little never letting anyone near, never letting anyone in.
Then you….you came and changed everything…why was this happening? Why was I feeling things that I've never felt before? Why was I dealt one hand then fate throws me you.
Humph if I believed in fate which I don't, I would be walking around with a fake smile on my face and be all cheerful and blurg.
I finally reached my destination, pushing open the door to the girl's washroom on the second floor and stopped as I heard someone call my name. Letting the door swing shut I turned and saw…..no one, I was truly going insane; pushing the door open once again I disappeared through it.
Once in, I leaned against the door with my eyes closed trying to get my bearings, taking deep breaths, trying to slow all the emotions that you brought in me. I stepped towards the sink in the middle of the room and opened my eyes, gazing at the tap that had the snake emblazoned on it. I opened my mouth and a strange hissing sound came out.
"Open up."
The snake glowed and the elaborate sink slowly pulled apart to reveal the opening to the chamber. Isis the basilisk was waiting for me to take me down into the chamber, I had left her lose the last time I had been down, having her promise to stay out of sight and only hunt a night.
On my way here I had my a quick stop at the kitchens to grab her something, the house elves were very helpful. They kind of give me the creeps what with their wide luminous eyes just staring at you. Tossing her the chunk of meat I climbed on her back and waited as she turned to slither down the pipe holding her prize happily in her jaws.
When she was content like this it was ok to look at her cause he eyes were a soft turquoise instead of yellow. She sensed there was something amiss but nothing was said all the way to the chamber. By riding on Isis I didn't need to speak parseltongue to any of the other doors. Isis had short cuts that she used when she goes hunting or to come get me when she senses me near. And so down we went, deep below the school, the pipes soon opened up to a huge chamber full of statues and doors leading to all sorts of secrets that my great etcetera Grandfather Salazar Slytherin had left his heir.

Harry
I watched as Tom stood up and left the hall in a hurry even though he tried not to rush, nut I saw it and my heart ached when I realised why he left. It was because of me, and what I brought out in him. So what he had said that first day was true we affect each other, the connection….my hand went automatically to my forehead and the lightning shape scar that's hidden under my fringe. 'I need a hair cut' I thought as I stared after a retreating Tom debating weather I should follow him or not.
(Growling)
I tore my gaze from him and went back to eating, why should I care what he does, I'm not even supposed to like him.
And yet….. My eyes rose once again to where Tom had been moments before, filling with concern. Maybe I should…NO! I shouldn't….Yes I should….No….yes…no….yes…NO!
Closing my eyes I mentally shook my head, arg enough I screamed at my subconscious I'm getting a headache and I think some of Tom's friends….friends or followers? Ugh not again why can't my mind ever shut up.
Alphard was watching the dark haired teen wrestle with himself and wondered for the umpteenth time why he was here messing up everything. Hmm… a plan was forming in his mind the more he looked at him, a plan to stop whatever was happening to his Tom and get him back on track. This plan was going to be brilliant…*grins evilly and wrings his hands*… it's perfect.
Hehe hehe hehe…. Perfect!
Up in the rafters sat Fawx and he didn't like that look on young Blacks face, not at all, but unfortunately there will be obstacles that Harry and Tom will have to over come. Over come all before he has to send Harry back to the present. He doesn't want to have to send Harry back into the past again, if it doesn't work the first time. Fawx decided to keep an eye on the entire young death eater's.
Breakfast was soon over and everyone stood to leave and head to classes, Harry realised it'll be a chore just to get out of the hall and a test to him not to head to Gryffindor tower…for he may be in Slytherin but there is Gryffindor in him and its strong. So strong that it might hinder what's transpiring between the two teens.
