I wanted to move Tom away from Slughorn. It's not that I don't like Slughorn but I can tell that Slughorn is a bad influence on him. Or Tom is a bad influence on Slughorn… I don't know! Well Slughorn is a bad influence on Tom because Slughorn is older… very older.
The only place I can think of to take him though was Sirius' house. Which had a portrait of his mother which would probably worship Tom. Which is something he doesn't need! I don't know how to get that portrait down though. Tom would probably love hearing her talk to him. Maybe even try to get ideas from her.
So my question is what to do? What should I do? I got out of bed and walked into the bathroom, I got dressed after a bath before going out and to his door. I knocked. "Tom? Are you awake?"
"What is it Potter?" I heard come from the door. I knocked again.
"Mind if I come in?"
"I am not presentable right now. Come back in thirty minutes."
"What about ten minutes. Do you need thirty minutes?"
"Are you trying to make an appointment or not?" I couldn't help but laugh.
"I don't need an appointment to see you."
"Go away or I will make you. I have plans for today."
"Then I'll see if breakfast is ready."
"If it is, have one of the house elves bring me a plate." I don't know why but I didn't like not being able to see him. If he wants privacy, fine with me though. I turned around and walked down the stairs to the kitchens to see if the house elves were working.
"Hey, can I help with breakfast?" I asked as the house elves prepared to start food.
"No, please don't!" They cried. I nodded, shocked.
"Okay, any idea when it will be ready?"
"Ten minutes and everythings will be readys sir."
"Okay. What should I do until then? Can I help with anything?"
"No sir! Please just lets us dos it." I nodded and left to the living room. As I walked I found Tom with drying wet hair.
"There you are Potter. Get it over with." I looked down at him, confused.
"Get what over with?"
"I have noticed that at least once you embrace me. I want to get it over with so we can move on with our day."
"Are you asking for a hug Tom?" He sneered at me.
"No, you thick headed moron. I am telling you to get that part of your day over with." I smiled and picked him up, giving him a long hug.
"I know you can be better than some Dark Lord. You have a future. All you are required to do is not hurt someone." I forget for how long until they accept him back in society but they would, they promised. Shacklebolt doesn't lie. "So do you wanna go swim in the lake?"
"Did you just say 'wanna'? I am not your friend that you can talk that way to. You may reserve that for your blood traitor and Mudblood friends."
"Do you want to go swim in the lake or would you rather do something else?"
"Well we would have to wait until after breakfast and then ask Professor Slughorn. Now put me down." I held him a minute longer and then put him back on his feet.
"What do you think about moving?"
"Move where? What about Canada, they would be much easier for you to conquer. I admit you are horrible at this type of thing."
"I love being horrible at conquering the world Tom." He rolled his eyes before he could stop himself.
"Do not get off task Potter. Move where?"
"Never mind." I need to really think this over. I can't really just let him in the Order headquarters can I? Well the pros are that they get to see Tom but that's also a con… because he's disrespectful at most times and barely respectful at others. Or maybe I am a special case… he's very respectful to Slughorn but that was manipulation. Some kids were just mean. NO! They were made that way by the product of their environment… but why am I not like him? Because I got my father's and mother's traits. What traits did Tom's parents have? Well I can't see any traits he might have got from his mother. Besides the magic and Parseltongue. Though he's been in an orphanage, he had people who might have tried to adopt him and either rejected or he rejected them. He was an adult for a long time so I can't just sum it all up into one explanation. There are many factors. Maybe I'll ask the Order and Slughorn if it would be okay to move him there?
"I don't care where we live unless we don't move often. I have had enough of that for years. Only time I staid in one home, an actual home, was in your Fifth year. I couldn't let them know I was back. I remember they called you a liar about that. I would like to say that Slughorn probably believed you on that." He turned and headed towards the dining room, Slughorn had finally come down stairs and headed there too. I turned and headed after them. Breakfast was ready.
