HARRY/TOM RIDDLE

Summery: Basically the War's over Harry and Tom fall in love yada yada yada their son goes to Hogwarts and dumbles throws a bitch fit lolz... Dumbles bashing coz it's so fun

The first years walked down the aisle in the great hall towards the sorting hat and the Deputy Headmistress, Hermione Weasley. The students in second year and up quietened down considerably as the professor cleared her throat to gain their attention. She began to read the names and each student walked up put the hat on their head and waited for it to call out their houses. It wasn't until Hermione got halfway down the list did she stop for a few seconds and gasped for a breath.

"T-Tom Riddle." The boy who had taken his fathers name walked forwards to sit on the stool. As soon as Hermione saw the eleven year old she drew another deep breath. Tom Riddle was the carbon copy of Harry Potter.

"Tom Riddle, ey? Well now I haven't seen that name in quite some years. Tell your father he was an exceptional conversationalist. SLYTHERIN!" Tom stood up and made his way towards the green and silver table.

Hogwarts will surely be a big adventure.

-------

It was nearing Halloween and Tom had enjoyed his first month in school, he had made quite a few friends. He should have known it was too good to last. The Great Hall doors were slammed open and a single figure walked through to face the Headmaster. Tom stood up immediately, recognising his Dad.

"You can't do this." Harry said out loud.

"I was not expecting you Harry. However, it has to be done, my boy." Dumbledore answered, he was getting old now but he was still going strong.

"I am not your boy and nor am I student." Harry took a deep breath, "I can not allow you to do this."

"There's nothing you can do, the governors' have voted."

"You cannot kick my Son out of this school he has done nothing wrong!" Harry exclaimed.

"I cannot take the risk of having someone as powerful as he in this school." Dumbledore answered calmly.

"No, you just don't like anyone to be more powerful then you old man." The student body took a sharp intake of breath collectively.

"I admit I am getting old, but this is for the safety of my students." Tom had now made his way around his house table and was currently standing by the end of it staring at his Dad and his Headmaster.

"He has done nothing wrong!" Harry took a breath to calm himself down, "He is an eleven year old boy who doesn't know the extent of his power and I hadn't planned on telling him this soon."

"He must leave."

"I refuse to take my son from this school until I see a real reason to and if any one tries to make him leave well lets say... his Father wouldn't be pleased." Tom saw many of the staff pale considerably and he smirked at the thought of his teachers scared of his Father.

"Come Tom." Harry strode out of the hall; Tom followed him down to the lake.

"They wanted me out?" The eleven year old frowned, "Why didn't Father come?"

"We thought we'd give them a warning first, the next time your Father will be here."

"What were you talking about, the full extent of my power?"

"Come here son." Tom sat down on the grass by his Dads side, "Remember when your Father told you that we used to hate each other?" Tom nodded, "I was the one that was supposed to kill him, obviously we didn't and I managed to eradicate all the evil out of him. Then I gave birth to you. Not only did you inherit my magic, but also your Fathers magic. I was as strong as Dumbledore myself but now with your Fathers magic added to mine, you'd be unstoppable. Dumbledore was afraid that you'd become the next Dark Lord."

"D-Dad-" Harry pulled his son into a bone crushing hug.

"It's okay just stick it out until we can find something to help. It's going to be okay, you'll learn magic I promise you, Tom." The eleven year old nodded into his Dads shoulder.

----

Dumbledore's petition did not stop. He was still trying to send the young boy out of Hogwarts.

"He's not listening Tom." Harry murmured into his Husbands shoulder, "Dumbledore's not going to stop this."

"We'll go in tomorrow to have a little ... chat."

"Ok, I promised him that he will get an education."

"And he will. Just stop worrying."
