AN: I love all the reviews from my wonderful readers have been placing. I so pleased that all of you are enjoying something so different. I can be honest with you that it has been easy twisting the character of Tom Riddle around into the good guy instead of keeping me the bad guy. I hope you see why I like having Tom Riddle a good guy. It's so much playing with Rowling's world and all of you will agree!!!! Without further a due here is Chapter 12!!

Chapter 12

~*~

Harry laid in his bed in thought. He had promised Hermione he'd look back through the past first five years of school. He wondered why she asked him to do it. Did she know something he didn't and did she figure out what was actually going on in the war? He grabbed his pillow and placed it over his face and screamed into it. He was starting to get a headache from thinking so hard.

"Bloody hell!" Harry shot straight up off the mattress in shock. "It can't be true." he turned and looked at the clock and it read: 12:01 AM. "Mione did say go to her once I figured it out." Harry grabbed the map and whispered, "I Solemnly Swear I'm Up To No Good," and tapped his wand. The words:

Messer Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs

Are Pleased to Present to You

The Marauder's Map

He opened the map in search for Hermione. He raised a brow when he found his best friend's name with Remus Lupin. Harry brow fond wondering why their names were so close together, than his eyes widened at what came to mind. They were sleeping together! He sat back for a moment in thought, because he didn't want to bust in jumping to the wrong conclusions.

Hermione and Remus were both werewolves. Moony was a male and Hermione was a female. He knew each animal or creature has a mate in life.

Harry let a smile cross his face at thought of them together. She was always too mature for Ron or anyone their age. They had a lot in common. Remus had all of a sudden became extremely protective of his best friend. He had noticed a good many times that he was following her around. He finally knew why. It was to protect his mate. Harry found it some what disturbing but he supported her in what she chose. At lest it wasn't Snape. So he could live with it.

Harry quietly slipped on his shoes and placed a silencing charm over them. He grabbed the invisibility cloak and threw it over him and he left the Gryffindor tower in hope to find his answers he desperately wanted.

Remus smiled against Hermione's lips and gently captured hers with his own. He gently pulled out of her tight passage until the tip of his member only remained and he gently slid back into her tight sex.

"I love you so. My beautiful witch." he whispered against her ear and gave it a slight tug with his teeth.

Hermione moaned and arched her back pushing her mate deeper inside of her. "I can't get close enough to you. I need you deeper in me."

Remus moved Hermione's left leg on his shoulder and thrust a bit harder. He growled at the deeper sensation of his sudden movement.

"Oh like this position Mr. Lupin." she told him in a moan.

He chuckled and licked her mark on her right shoulder. "I do as well Mrs. Lupin. I do as well." he felt her walls tighten. "Oh gods woman!"

Hermione gripped the ropes that held her tied to the four post bed and moaned louder. She cried out his name when he sent her over the edge. Remus growled seeking his own release. He growled her name spilling his seed deep inside her womb, bring her down once more with him.

He heard the portrait door open and close. He looked at Hermione. "I'll be out in a moment," he groaned at his wife, "Harry." Remus called. He's body shook sending more seed deep inside her womb. "Gods woman." he growled at her tight muscles. He felt her walls relax and fell onto her body sporting his weight with his arms. Remus shifted his hips and pulled out of her body. He untied the ropes. "Honey, if you keep on going on like this you'll end up pregnant."

Hermione ran her fingers through his graying sandy blonde hair. She sighed heavily. "Would that be such a bad thing?"

Remus's head snap in his mate's direction and looked into her glassy/sliver eyes. "Hermione are you pregnant?" she chewed on her both lip. "Honey are you pregnant?"

"I thought it was stress that made me skip because it's happened many times before. I'm two weeks along." Remus sat up and ran his fingers through his hair. "I'm sorry. It's my fault. I forgot to take the birth control potion. I'm sorry." Hermione whispered, and got out of the bed. She grabbed one of his t shirts and a pair of his boxers and slipped them on. "I'll just go."

Remus quickly put on his pajama pants and stopped her just before she walked out the bedroom door. "Don't you dare feel ashamed of this Hermione. Don't you dare." he said and a gold wedding band shined in the candle light. "It took me years to find my mate and I found her in you." He told her gently but sternly. He pulled her into his arms and she rested her head on his shoulder. "It's just sooner than we planned. I would have liked to have waited until the war was over."

~*~

Harry turned his head to the bedroom door listening quietly to their conversation. He now knew they were mates/couple. He wondered what they were talking about.

~*~

Remus smiled gently and pulled Hermione back at arms length. "As Grandpa would say: 'It's a sliver lining in the darkest of times and welcome it with open arms.' "Our baby is that sliver ling. I love you," and he lifted her left hand and a diamond wedding band shined in the candle light. "You are my wife. You said it yourself. 'A mark is stronger than marriage.' Now, come on Harry's waiting for us in the common room." Hermione's body stiffen at the information. "Don't you worry. If know Harry his already figured out you are my mate." she nodded and he took her hand and they walked into the room.

~*~

The couple found Harry sitting in an armchair in front of the fireplace. Remus and Hermione sat down on the couch. Harry studied the couple for a moment and a smiled broke out across his face.

"Just no making out in front of me and we're cool." he told the couple and he quickly found himself in a tight hug from his best friend. "Can't breathe."

"Oops. Sorry Harry." Hermione pulled back and sat back down next to Remus. "Ok so you've figured out the truth. You've looked back at the adventures of our first five years of school?"

Harry rubbed the back of his neck and nodded his head. "So all of it's true. I mean about Riddle?" Remus nodded his head. "So the prophecy's a fake. Please tell me it's a fake."

"Oh Harry I wish it was a fake." Remus whispered not wanting to think about his grandfather or Harry possibly being killed. "The truth of your mother sending information to muggles is afraid true. The dream you had is true. He tried to save you not kill you."

Harry's eyes widened. "My…my dad's alive."

Hermione nodded her head and whispered, "I've seen him myself."

"Can I see him. Please Moony. Please I want to see my dad." Harry begged with tears in his green eyes.

Remus nodded. He held out his hand and a shirt, his and Hermione's wands zoomed into his out reached hand. He handed Hermione her wand and he pulled a shirt over his head. He pulled out an untraceable portkey. Remus instructed Harry to grab onto the portkey. He couldn't deny Harry his father any longer. They vanished form Hogwarts.

~*~

The trio appeared in the Malfoy library and found Tom at a large table with a medal book opened in front of him. He nearly jumped out of his skin when saw the trio. He quickly concealed his snakelike appearance.

"Hermione dear heavens child." Tom said worryingly when he saw her with her head down taking several deep breaths. He was quickly at her side.

Remus let out aloud inhumanly growl at his grandfather. Tom took that as a warning to stand back. Remus gently rubbed her back waiting for the room to stop spinning. He quickly caught his mate before her body buckled to the floor.

"Alright that's the last time we portkey to the manor." Remus told her and he shifted her up into his arms.

"Make the room stop spinning. Please." Hermione told him. "No more portkeys. No more portkeys."

Remus sat down in an arm chair and gently ran his fingers through her curls. He rubbed his mate's stomach. He whispered against her brow and kissed it gently. "I promise love."

Tom only smiled and watched his grandson's actions. Hermione was pregnant with his great grand child. He turned to the bigger matter at hand. He quietly ushered Harry to a chair next to Remus and Hermione. He sat down in his normal seat.

"You've figured out the truth. Haven't you Harry?" Tom asked gently. He only nodded his head. "I was the one that sent you dream. I needed you to know the truth. Skippy." Tom called and with a crack the shaky house elf appeared. "Please tell James he is needed in the library."

"Skippy do it right away Master Riddle." the house elf was gone with a crack.

James walked into the library and saw his son sitting in an armchair next to Remus and Hermione. He stopped and looked at his son he hadn't seen in sixteen years. "Harry?" he ran over to his father and wrapped his arms around his father. "Oh Harry." James cradled the back of his head as he would a new born and the other around his waist. "I've missed you so. I could only watch you grow up in a few pictures." James held Harry closer. "I've missed out on so much. I'm so sorry."

Harry buried his face in his father's shoulder unable to speak fear of it only being a dream. James felt a few tears wet his shirt. He rubbed Harry's back whispering words of loving comfort grateful to have his son in his arms.

"Let me see you." James said and pulled him back at arms length. He smiled and touched his messy black hair. "You just had to inherit the messy black hair. Didn't you? But you have your mother's beautiful green eyes. I loved so much. Oh no son it's not that she betrayed us. She was being controlled. We tried to help her all of us. But she was so far gone." he kissed his son's brow and smiled. "We all make choices and some are the hardest of our lives and mine was losing Lily and you. It was to save you. I had no choice. Do you understand?"

"I think so." Harry whispered.

"We'll talk more about it later. As of now I have you back and we have important matters to discuss."

"You sound like Mione." he said, jerking his head in her direction.

"Hey I resent that!" Hermione said in slight growl.

"Wow growlie wolfie."

"Why I odda'"

Harry smiled and winked at his best friend. "Na, you love me' and you know it."

"You Potters are all the same."

"Hey, that's not-"

"Gota' love me." Hermione said with a small laugh. James and Harry only shook their heads and sat down.

Tom studied Harry for a moment and let a weak smile cross his face. He didn't realize it would be so hard to face the young man. He had tried to kill him in his fourth year and regret every minute of it. He wished he could take it back.

"Grandpa are you alright?" Remus asked worryingly.

"I'm fine Remus. This is just harder than I thought." Tom rubbed his forehead tiredly. "I'm so sorry Harry. I…just don't know what to say." he looked at the young man with sad and worried eyes. "I guess I should explain things to you from the very beginning." Tom started his long story and Harry listened very closely asking questions time to time.

Remus looked down at Hermione and noticed she had fallen asleep. He summoned a nearby blanket and covered her up. She snuggled closer to her mate. He kissed her forehead.

"Ok, so death eaters aren't bad. They are spies that work for you in order to keep our world safe. Those 'killed' are actually duplicates and the real ones are ships off to the states for safety reasons." Tom nodded pleased on how quickly he was catching on. "So the rapes are just a front? The kidnappings are real but only to get information out of spies and traitors."

"Thank heavens you got your mother's brains, son." James told him and ruffled his hair messy black hair only to make it stand out even more.

"Dad stop that!" Harry told him swatting at his hands. James only laughed. "Ok so you're a death eater?" he asked his father and he nodded his head. "Moony you too?" Remus nodded. "Hermione and Ginny as well."

"Yep you've got it all in one kid." said James.

"I believe you. Because when I think about it all. It makes perfect sense." Harry whispered and Tom smiled grateful that he understood. "Now we only need to find away to save both us, Mr. Riddle."

"I wish it could be so Harry. But I fear it would take a miracle for that to happen." Tom said gently and squeezed the young man's hand.

"Don't forget we have one of the best researchers." Harry said and smiled at his best friend who was sleeping in Remus's arms. Tom only smiled at his family. Harry was correct about Hermione. So their could be chance for the prophecy to come to pass and both of them live.
