A week had passed since Harry and Hermione had been forced back in time, Harry lay on his bed looking at the ceiling, he couldn't help but think about Ron, he felt guilty for leaving his best friend behind even though he had no control over what had happened. He also happened to feel guilty for befriending Abraxsis, they had grown rather close during the week Harry had spent in this time. Abraxsis was the only Slytherin currently speaking to Harry, much to Tom's dismay. Harry laughed Harry's reputation had become more legendary then Tom's, Harry was acing all his classes and all the teachers loved him and Harry didn't have to threaten and scare his fellow peers to surround him, they just did always looking at him in awe. Despite his reputation the Slytherin's were still to scared to against Tom's orders.

Harry of course was used to the attention, whether he liked it or not he would always be in the spotlight, Hermione pointed out on numerous times that it was better to be in the spotlight for things he did and not living in his parents shadows and their sacrifice, Harry couldn't help but agree he had earned the spotlight here and it was fun to annoy Tom in the process, Tom had worked hard for five years to build up his reputation and Harry came and in one week his efforts were wasted. Harry had found himself cornered by Tom many times while wondering the castle alone, each time Tom demanded to know his secret each time Harry refused to budge. Harry knew that this was his chance at stopping Tom from becoming Voldemort, to stop him from becoming a murderer of thousands... He just had no clue on how to do that, despite knowing that this was the person who grew up to kill his parents, he could not kill him... Because Tom was not guilty yet.

Harry got up and went out into the common room, it was empty his sat by the fire enjoying the heat that was radiating from it. Harry should of known that Tom would follow, he always did, he seemed to watch Harry like a hawk. "Potter, what are you up to now"

"Sitting"

"There is no need to be rude, I have been nothing but gracious toward you"

Harry scoffed at turned to look at Tom "what the hell have you done that is gracious"

"Your in my domain and no harm has come of you yet"

" your domain? This isn't your freaking domain! You do not own the place Tom!"

Tom flinched at the use of his name " I have worked hard to be where I am, Potter, I will not let you come in ruin anything"

"I haven't done anything"

"I see the way you expect the attention even before you receive it, I know your hiding something, I will find out what it is"

"Oh yeah good luck with that, because I'm not scared of you Tom, you can stand on your high horse pretending to be better then everyone else"

Tom pushed Harry further into the chair, his face face was now close to Harry's, showing nothing but anger " oh Potter, you have no idea what I can do"

" I know I lot more thank you think, now back off"

"I say the orders around here, you will do well to remember that"

Harry rolled his eyes " like I said I'm not scared of you"

Tom shook his head "you should be"

"Get over yourself" Harry pushed Tom away heading back to the dormitories.

"You would do well to follow orders, or your sister might just suffer the consequences, Hermione Granger is it?"

That was all it took to push Harry over the edge"DONT YOU EVER DARE TO THREATEN HERMIONE AGAIN, OR I WILL NOT HESITATE TO-!"

Tom smirked " To what Potter, we both know, you will submit to me someday so why not sooner rather then later"

"I will never join you"

"Why do you hate me so, you hated me before you met me, did I offend you in another life"

"I know all about you and what your group of sheep do Tom... I will never be a part of that, it's people like you who killed my parents"

"You will join us, one way or another"

"What are you gonna do, set the basilisk on me"

Tom eyes widened "how do you know about that... No one does, they think that oaf Hagrid-"

Harry smirked "like I said I know more then you think, you would do well to submit to me Tom, because I will stop you"

Harry then left a speechless Tom behind.

Harry was tired, he never ended up falling asleep,Hermione gave him worried looks from across the great hall but he shrugged them off, he just wasn't in the mood today... He just wanted to be left alone. He started playing with his food on his plate, pushing it from side to the other. He could feel Tom riddle looking at him but he refused to look up, he wouldn't give the Slytherin the static action of getting to him. He knew he shouldn't of said anything to Tom last night about the basilisk he was already on the top of Tom's hit list, he knew that Tom would act soon, he knew that would make good of what he said, he wouldn't go after Harry, no Hermione would be the one to suffer for Harry's idiotic moment. Harry was always hurting the people around him because of the things he did, he didn't ever want to hurt Hermione. Soon images of Hermione being tortured and murdered came flooding to his mind, first came the feeling of being sick came then blackness.

He woke in the hospital with the matron Madam Strout a stumpy old woman who looked like a woman not to cross. Though she gave Harry a friendly smile "back again so soon Mr Potter"

"I-"

" you fainted during breakfast from exhaustion, and lack of food about two hours ago ... Why have you not been eating young man?"

"Um wasn't hungry?" Harry said nervously

"EAT!" She replied

Harry nodded eyes wide.

She sat down next to Harry "from the diagnostic spells I ran on you, I am aware of the abuse your body has sustained through the years, it damaged your magical core because of it, you will require a few potions a day on time if you wish to never see this part of the castle again"

Harry's eyes widened about to deny about being abused " the spells don't lie Mr Potter, so don't even try"

Harry looked down on his lap when she spoke again.

"The headmaster and I think it is best that you speak to so one about your past, to help you heal"

Harry mumbled "I have Hermione"

She shook her head "someone who isn't already aware of your situation, the person will take a magic vow to never revel anything. You say to anyone else"

"Who then, if not Hermione"

" the headmaster feels that Tom riddle is the best choice"

Harry raised his head immediately, it was so fast his head started to spin "No! No, No! Anyone else but him"

She gave him a stern look "the decision has been made"

Harry shook his head "please, no we don't get along"

"Then this will bring you closer, you will tell mister riddle your past and believe me I will know if you don't and you don't want to find out what happens when a patient doesn't follow my specific orders, got it"

Harry nodded.

She gave him a curt nod " good, now mister Riddle please enter... Your first session starts now"

Harry groaned when Tom walked in with a smile on his face.

As soon as they were alone that smile turned into a smirk, he sat in the chair next to Harry and winked "So Potter tell me your secrets, we wouldn't want to make Madam Strout angry would we"

Harry groaned " I have to tell you everything don't I"

Tom's eyes sparkled "yes, I didn't plan on this being the way you told me, but this way works just as good"

Harry rolled his eyes.

"I was abused by muggles when I was younger both physically and mentally, although as I got older it became mostly mentally...there all done bye"

Tom's eyes darkened "you suffered at the hand of muggles, you must want your revenge, I can help you"

Harry shook his head " I don't want revenge, not all muggles are bad, only the select few that hate things they see as not normal, there scared and I don't blame them at all"

Tom looked at him in shock "muggles are insects that need to be squished"

Harry sighed "no, your wrong, don't let your own experience blind you from what's really there, it's like the whole pure bloods are better then muggleborns, my best friend is a muggleborn and she's brilliant better then very pure blood I've ever met"

"What's your best friends name"

"You don't need to know that"

"Madam Strout told me I have to find out everything, so I can help you through your troubled past"

"I told you all I need to tell you, now of you excuse me my sister must be worried"

Harry rose from the bed, and walked to leave the hospital wing however when he reached the entrance an invisible barrier was stopping him.

"What the-"

"Mr Potter I told you, to sit down and talk to Mr Riddle, I am aware of your special circumstances hence the reason he was sworn to secrecy, so sit back down, no other visitors no leaving until you have done so... Your sister Hermione must be worried so I suggest you get started" and just like the Madam Strout left him alone with Tom again.

Tom patted the bed " you better start from the beginning potter"

Harry walked like a zombie back to the bed, Harry walked back to the bed payed down and put the bed covers over him and screamed in frustration.
