Chapter 12

Harrison woke up and looked at the white ceiling, but was unable to see it clearly. He relaxed until a low voice said, "So, you're finally awake."

Harrison got up almost faster than the speed of light. His eyes scanned the spacious room. He saw Gryffindor colors everywhere. Even the king size bed he lay on was striped red-and-gold. Finally looking in front of him, he glanced into the Dark Lord's blue eyes.

"Who are you?'' Harrison hissed.

"Can't you guess?" the man on the chair next to the bed asked.

Harrison looked calculatingly at him, and suddenly, he knew exactly who the man was. "Grindelwald."

The man nodded. "What's your name?"

Harrison looked distrustfully at him.

"Don't worry. I won't hurt you," Grindelwald said with a laugh.

"Make an oath," demanded Harrison.

He knew he was talking to and even demanding an oath from the Dark Lord, but he didn't fear Grindelwald and neither of the two cared.

The Dark Lord exhaled loudly in frustration. "I, Gellert Grindelwald, won't hurt...um... What's your name?"

Harrison almost hit his head on the wall in realization of his stupidity. He had to give his name now, otherwise the oath wouldn't have any effect. He sighed. "Harrison Collins."

Grindelwald completed the oath: "I, Gellert Grindelwald, won't hurt Harrison Collins, except if he attacks me or misbehaves."

The light of the oath disappeared and Harrison felt a bit of pleasure rising up inside himself, but he hid it well.

"Why am I still alive and why don't you want to torture me?" Harrison asked straightforwardly.

Grindelwald gave him a friendly look, but Harrison didn't trust the smiling face in front of him for a second. "You're still alive because I wish you to be. I don't want to torture you, my boy."

An irritated look manifested itself on Harrison's face for no apparent reason. Grindelwald looked at him questionably. "Don't ever call me my boy like Dumbledore did."

Instead of being angry, the Dark Lord nodded and agreed that it did, in retrospect, sound too much like Dumbledore.

"So, what do you want with me?" Harrison looked seriously at him. Grindelwald laughed spontaneously. "You're quite an interesting child," he said, wiping tears of mirth away from his face.

"I'm not a child! Answer my question!" Harrison insisted, not really sure where he was getting all the courage to be talking to Grindelwald like that.

"Demanding answers from a dark lord? Well, that's very brave... And yes, you are a child."

Tom stood in the Slytherin dormitory. Broken things lay scattered everywhere on the ground. Even bigger things like beds and trunks were pulverized to ash. The other Slytherins didn't dare to go in, fearful of suffering the same fate as their possessions at Tom's hands. They'd already seen him beyond angry when he entered the dormitory, so they had hurried out on his arrival. The only things that hadn't been touched by Tom's magic Harrison's gifts.

Tom looked murderous, but deep inside this feeling mingled with a bit of guilt. He hadn't let Harrison go to the restricted section of Hogwarts. If only he had allowed his best friend to come with him, he wouldn't be kidnapped or dead. Tom wasn't even sure if Harrison was still alive.

He had overheard some teachers in the library talking about the raid and that Grindelwald's followers had taken a Hogwarts student, although they didn't know who. But Tom did. He already knew it was too late and walked with alarming alacrity to find somewhere to calm down (and destroy things).

Unfortunately for the Slytherins, it happened to be their dormitory.

Suddenly, a bright flash came from a corner of the room. Tom turned to the luminescent object, which was in his bag. He walked over to it and pulled the glowing thing out and seeing that it was the Parseltongue book, he handled it warily. Tom opened the book and saw something written on the first page.

Tom,

If you read this I'm probably dead or in trouble. Maybe you want to know why you couldn't see this earlier. I placed a spell on it so it would show up when I said or when I was in trouble.

I wanted to tell you that I'm fine. Even if I'm dead, I've already made a horcrux and this is it. The book. I made it quite a long time ago. I hope you don't worry.

Please protect it since as long as this book is safe, I am too. Also, if you write in it, my horcrux will answer you. It can possess someone and use their body when they put their soul in it, but it won't do this to you.

I hope I will see you again. I'm really sorry.

Love you Tom,

Harrison.

Tears came but Tom didn't try to stop them. He wasn't sure if they were happy tears because he was sure Harrison couldn't die or tears of sadness because he was somewhere far away.

Tom decided to write in the book. Perhaps the horcrux did know if Harrison was okay. He conjured a quill and ink wandlessly and wrote: Hello, I'm Tom. He waited for a reply.

Hello, Tommyboy. Even though he knew the horcrux didn't have facial expressions, he could tell it was grinning.

Do you know if Harrison is alive or not? Tom hoped desperately that he would say yes.

Yes, I know. I can feel he'salive.Tom was so happy when he read it that he almost danced around in the ruins of the dormitory, but someone opened the door before he could actually act on that thought. He closed the book and put it in his bag as fast as possible. Dumbledore strode in, his stride long and elegant. "Tom," he nodded.

"Professor." Tom said smoothly, as though he had not been conversing with his best friend's horcrux a second ago.

"We know who was kidnapped." Dumbledore began, "It was Harrison..." Suddenly, the professor glanced around, shocked by the extent of Tom's destruction.

"He probably snuck out of the infirmary. And I think you did too. I know you used clones, although the others probably. I'm quite impressed you can use wandless magic."

Tom cursed silently, while trying to think up a good lie.

"Don't try to lie," Dumbledore said amiably, knowing what Tom was thinking. "I'm sorry. Perhaps he is still alive. The other professors and I agreed that you won't be required to go to class this week. It must be difficult for you, since I know Harrison is as a brother to you. I hope you can cope with it. We will do as much as possible for you. Also, I would appreciate it if you repair everything. Good day, Mr. Riddle." With that Dumbledore walked out of the room.

Tom frowned. The old man knew too much. He took his bag and went out of the room. Everyone in the common room quickly cleared a path as they saw him walking. Some went to the dormitory to see what he had done, while Tom walked to the room of requirement, which was on the 7th floor.

"To answer your question, I want you to join me and to be my heir..." Grindelwald said.

Harrison was surprised and suddenly felt an enormous amount of pain in his head. He placed his hand on his scar, which was always hidden behind his hair. It started to bleed. Harrison closed his eyes, just as Grindelwald stood up.

"Are you o..." the Dark Lord began.

Harrison couldn't withstand the pain. Everything around him went black.
