General PoV
Harry awoke slowly. It was warm and comfortable and he had slept well for the first time in years. Harry snuggled into the pillow he was hugging and sighed happily.
At least that was until his pillow chuckled and he felt something started to stroke his spine. Harry stiffened instantly before he remembered the day before. Harry looked up sheepishly in to blue green eyes.
"Hello Harry. You sure are friendly in the morning. Harry blushed crimson when he realized that he was pressed rather firmly against Tom's very nice chest. Harry went to move away while mumbling apologies but Tom tightened his arms around Harry's waist.
"Don't worry; I don't mind you being here. You know I don't usually like physical tough but you are rather interesting." Harry smiled tentatively and snuggled closer in an attempt to hide the blush that stained his cheeks.
"Now now beautiful, don't hide from me." Tom tilted Harry's face up to meet his eyes. Harry flushed again. 'How can this be the same person I am supposed to kill? It just doesn't seem possible that he would kill my family.' Harry wondered before another thought struck him.
"Why, if you dislike touch, do you like me? At that, why are you acting like this?" Tom smiled at Harry.
"I may dislike touch but I seem to enjoy your company. We may have only known each other for a few hours but you are rather different and interesting. I find myself wanting to know everything I can about you."
Harry flashed him a cheeky grin.
"Well, if you want to know everything about me then you will just have to win me over."
Tom seemed to think about it and grinned back, sitting up.
"I guess that's what I will do then!" With that he left to claim the bathroom. Harry smiled at nothing and walked over to his room where his stuff would be. He found Siska curled up on his bed.
"Ssssissska, help me pick out ssssomething to sssssurprissssse Tom." He hissed to the lounging snake.
Siska gave him a snaky grin and slithered off the bed. She went through his clothes and used her tail to flick a pair of black leather pants at him. It had to be the tightest pair he owned but he also knew they did not leave a lot to be imagined when he wore them.
Siska then tossed a silver slinky shirt that had long tight sleeves and hugged the contours of his chest. The shirt was a little tight but he liked it. The best part though, was that the collar which cut to his just bellow his collar bone.
He pulled out his knee high black boots and a black cape like robe to drape over his shoulders. He looked in the mirror when he was done and attempted to comb his unruly hair but gave up quickly.
He stepped out to see Tom waiting for him.
"Sure took you…" He trailed of when he saw what Harry was wearing.
"You know that that is not regulation." He said after he stopped staring. Harry just grinned.
"I am not from here so how would I know what is and what isn't allowed. Let me grab my Hogwarts robe so I don't get you in trouble." Harry put on the robe and followed Tom to the Great Hall for breakfast.
Tom led Harry to the Slytherin table.
"Malfoy, meet Harry Raven. He is bunking with me and I find he is actually rather interesting." Tom introduced.
Abraxas Malfoy looked at Harry and nodded his head.
"You are the one that swore to kill those that annoyed you. Interesting that you made friends with Tom, he can get very annoying." Tom smacked him in the back of the head and Harry laughed.
"What I meant is that if you anger me then I will kill you. You would be amazed how bitter you can get when you grow up in a cupboard. Anyway, I would love to be friends if that is okay. I should start making the power play while I can." Harry smirked at the slightly shocked face that earned him.
Harry sat and Tom took the seat beside him.
"You know you don't have to tell anyone that you don't want to." Tom told Harry.
Harry gave him a sad smile. "It hurts more when you don't tell. I know it does because you are the first person besides my first owl that I ever told." Tom seemed happy to know that Harry trusted him the most and they carried on with breakfast.
Their schedules were passed out after breakfast.

Harry smiled when he read his list. This would be fun.
"What did you guys get?" Tom asked Harry and Abraxas.
Their smiles grew when they saw that almost all their classes were the same. The only difference was that Abraxas had arithmetic instead of CMC. Tom and Harry had every class together.
Classes didn't start till tomorrow so the group of three hung out for the whole day.
Harry was very pleased to be getting on so well. He still felt as though he was missing something though. He always felt as though he should be hating Tom but he just couldn't. He kept hearing something in the back of his mind telling that this man did not hurt him.
"I'll be back in a little while Harry. There is a Prefect meeting tonight." Tom told Harry after they had entered their rooms after dinner.
"Okay, I guess I will see you later then." Harry waved as Tom left before settling on the couch.
Harry looked at the ring that still sat on his finger.
"Now, would you like to explain why you have brought me to the past?" Harry hissed to the ring.
He smiled as the twin snakes on the band untwined and grew in size.
"You are Harry Potter. You have known the truth for longer than you have known you were a wizard. Look into your heart and you will be able to tell yourself the answer."
Harry glared at the ring.
"You brought me to the past because there is something to learn but not to change the past. If I change the real future then I won't be born. Though, if I am able to find what I need to know, what do I do about Tom?"
The twin snakes smiled at him.
"The truth lines within Tom Riddle's heart and your memories. If you can find your own truth we will send you back to the future but this time you will know the truth and become who you are supposed to be instead of the fake you are now."
Harry sighed but nodded that he understood. The snakes continued.
"You have a year to find the truth. After that we will have to send you home no matter what."
The snakes turned back into the ring and Harry growled in frustration.
"A year to find my truth and a year to figure out what really happened on the night of my parents death. Just fucking great! I always hated fucking Riddles and puzzles and now I have to deal with both…And one that I freaking LIKE!"
Siska was watching her master from the corner. What an interesting master he was.
