As a last hope, just before he dies, Tom sends Harry back to the past, 20 years, to his parent's time. His goal is to do what they failed in the future: kill Albus Dumbledore. Will Harry succeed? Better yet, will he get to know his parents and will this Tom love him too?
Chapter 3
The first few weeks of September were over before he knew it. Ravenclaw house was a welcome change from the experiences he had in the last years. As it was, the smiles and laughter helped soot his soul from all the pain it went through, while the loss of his child still weighted heavy on his heart, he was grieving, but also opening up again. Severus and Lucius had also helped with this.
With a sigh he headed to the infirmary, his healer, Sam, had noticed the signs of a miscarriage and had spoken about it to him. With tears in his eyes, he had told an edited version of what happened. That it hadn't been only his godfather him, but that his fiancée had been there as well. That his godfather, when Apparaiting the two of them, had done it in such a hurry, that the child hadn't made it. He told Sam about seeing his fiancée being hit and falling, the next thing that happened was his godfather Apparaiting and with it, he had felt a heavy pain in his abdomen, together with the feeling of the extra life slipping away from him.
Now, he was going to the infirmary for a checkup, something standard, for cases like his. With a nervous frown, he opened the door and called out to Madame Pomfrey. She entered from her office, throwing him a sad look and indicating he should take place on a bed.
"Now, Mr. Griffin, I will cast a scanning spell, which will look for any lasting damage."
At his nod, a soft yellow spell shot out het wand and circled his abdomen, it shot back to Pomfrey and hit a parchment she held, with a frown she looked it over, than gave a sigh of relief.
"You are lucky, Mr. Griffin, no lasting damage, I do advise you to take it easy for a couple of weeks to 2 months. Now, do you have any pains? Any uncomfortably?"
When he shook his head, he was free to go.
Hadrian headed to the library, where he had arranged a meeting with his Slytherin friends, he knew they would already be death eaters and he had the feeling he had to take this to the Dark Lord as soon as possible.
In the library, he got a nod from the young men and they took a walk outside, on Hadrian's advice. As they were walking, Hadrian casually asked, "so any of you got a tattoo on the left arm?"
Lucius and Severus, stifled, looking at each other, they were going to lose a good friend, because of a choice they made last year.
Hadrian sighed, "I'm not mad or anything, it's just I have information the Dark Lord should really know, but I don't have a way of contacting him."
Lucius nodded, "there is a meeting this Friday, I'll ask to bring you with me for the next one, or for a private meeting."
Hadrian smiled, and thanked the blond. As they headed back to the castle, the Slytherins kept wondering what their friend was hiding and why he had been 'victim' of a death eater attack if he wanted a meeting with the 'boss' of said death eaters.
- That evening, Death eater base –
As all the death eaters had done their rapports, Lucius stepped forward; "my lord, I have a request."
Voldemort, intrigued, mentioned for the young blond to continue. Lucius swallowed, "as you perhaps know, My Lord, we have a transfer student this year, his name in Hadrian Griffin and he's in his 7th year. Now it is a known fact he had to come to Hogwarts because his guardian was killed and he injured during a death eater attack on Edinburgh. Seeing as we haven't attacked, or held a raid, this struck me as odd. What's even odder is that he asked Severus and me if we were Death eaters, in a subtle manner, as it is he wanted to meet you. According to him he has information that is very beneficial for our cause."
When the blond stopped talking, Voldemort thought over what he had heard, turning back to the young man before him, "bring him here tomorrow evening, it will just be your father, Severus, you and him. And me of course, I will listen to what this Griffin has to say."
Lucius nodded and stepped back into the circle, next to his father and Severus. As they were dismissed, he exchanged a few words with his father and told the man to give his love to his mother. The youngsters left after that, making their way back to Hogwarts ad their friend, intending to tell him the news, as soon as possible.
- The next morning –
When Lucius and Severus entered the Great Hall, they saw Hadrian sitting at the Ravenclaw table, which was mostly empty, they approached him. When the raven haired young man saw them, the question was clear in his eyes, at Lucius' nod, he stood and followed them.
Once at a quiet spot Lucius sheared what was said, informing the Ravenclaw they were departing this evening at 9 PM, giving them enough time. And as it was a Saturday, nobody would miss them all that much.
The rest of the day, Hadrian was an emotional wreck, he had ordered a pensive, when he was still in St. Mungo's and had filled it with the memories he wanted to show and they needed to see. Other than doing that, he pulled out a ring he had been given, Tom had given him, when the man proposed, but seeing as that man wasn't here anymore, he felt he should give it back.
At 8.45, he headed to the front doors, telling his Ravenclaw friends he was spending the night with other friends, they just waved his off and wished him lots of fun. With a crop in his troath, he approached the Slytherins and entered the chilly September weather. Once beyond the wards, Lucius held out an old book. When they all were touching it, the portkey went off, bringing them into a great hallway.
Lucius mentioned for the Ravenclaw to follow him and Severus, leading them to a study further up a pair of stairs. In the room, stood a blond man who could only be Abraxas Malfoy, and an older Tom Riddle, without the snake like visage. The 3 youngsters bowed down, Severus and Lucius lower than Hadrian, who when coming aright, looked the Lord in the eyes.
"I must apologize, My Lord, my body has recently been under a large strain and I must watch which moves I do and in what manner."
Voldemort nodded, an acceptable explanation, if the youngster had done this without a good explanation he would know it was wasted time. He mentioned for them to take a seat and turned to the Ravenclaw, "now Mr. Griffin, you had some information to share?"
Hadrian nodded, and pulled out his pensive, "I will show you, a lot of these are to fresh and emotionally ballasting I just can't tell them. But you disserve to know."
The Slytherins nodded and touched the surface of the liquid, allowing themselves to be sucked into the memories of the Ravenclaw. Hadrian in the meantime, played with the ring in his pocket and let himself daydream of better times.
He was brought back into the present with 2 pairs of arms around him, looking down; he saw Lucius and Severus clutching at him, tears running down their cheeks. As he looked up, he saw Mr. Malfoy clutching his wand in one hand, tears in the aristocrat's eyes; with a whispered apology he left the room. Voldemort on the other hand, was looking straight at him, emotions void on his face.
Hadrian turned his face downwards, he didn't know how to deal with this Tom, and his Tom had always shown his emotions in his eyes, always letting him know what he was feeling.
Than the man spoke, "Lucius, Severus, could you leave us alone for a moment?"
As the other 2 teens left, Hadrian sat there on the chair, not looking at the man in front of him. A troath cleared, getting him to look up, Tom's eyes were looking back at him, red eyes full of emotion. Tom was looking back at him, "you weren't the only one to go back Harry."
That did it, Hadrian flung himself around Tom's neck, sobbing his heart out, apologizing for losing the life of their child. And though it all, the older man held him close, whispering sweet nothings in his ear. As he cried himself to sleep, happy to be with his Tom again, the others came back, Mrs. Malfoy with them this time, the tears in her eyes indicated that her husband had told her the whole story.
Tom cleared his troath, "he wasn't the only one to go back, I was there also, and I send him back with my last breath, but I was send back to. Only because of my weakened state, I could do nothing, with his memories he let mine come back too."
He sighed and looked at the teen in his lap, "we could have been so happy, with that little boy or girl. But Dumbledore took that away", he looked at the blonds and the black haired teen, "he took it away from all of us. But we will fix that. I do suggest we go to sleep know and see what tomorrow brings."
TADA!
