Chapter 6: It was a curious dream.

Dumbledore backed quickly back into the entryway as to stay out of sight. He wondered if this was good or bad. Dumbledore had always sensed a darker power in Tom but he hadn't found this in Harrison. This could be good for Tom. Dumbledore decided not to involve himself; instead he would observe the two and see if they were turning dark.

Time skip

"I'll miss you." Harrison stood next to the Hogwarts express staring at Tom. He found himself blinking back tears as he stared at the older boy. Tom had permission from Headmaster Dippet to stay at Hogwarts over the summer whereas Harrison was being sent to an orphanage until September when he could return for his seventh year.

"It's only the summer Harrison." Tom smiled reassuringly at Harrison. Being able to stay at Hogwarts meant that Tom would have an opportunity to seek out his Muggle father. Harrison wasn't happy that Tom was so fixated on his parents, so he had pretended to drop the subject. Having the other boy in his life had made him a better person, which meant that he was less inclined to the dark arts that Harrison did not approve of, although he was still angry at his family.

The sound of the train's horn echoed warning the students that the transport would depart soon. Harrison's bags were already on the train and he only had to say goodbye to Tom now.

"I love you." Harrison hissed in Parseltongue, he knew that Tom was uncomfortable with the words but he couldn't help but to say them as if it was their last time together. The two boys hugged quickly (they hadn't announced their relationship even though Tom was certain that Dumbledore knew) and Harrison entered the train. He found a compartment with Malfoy and Nott then settled down for the long journey.

Platform nine and three quarters was as busy as Harrison remembered; families rushed to find their children and the portal through to Kings cross was in constant use. Harrison lined himself up with the wall that would send him through to muggle London and ran forward into the dark.

Pain. Unbearable pain erupted behind him closed eyes and he felt as if he was caught in a tornado. Wild winds ripped at his clothing and he had let go of the trolley, he was falling into nothing and felt as if it would never end.

Harry raised his head out of the pensive feeling as if every part of his aching body was made of lead. Dumbledore's office was as he had left it before his trip into the past and Harry had the feeling that no time had passed. He stepped away from the pensive stumbling towards the armchair in front of the desk.

"Are you quite alright Harry?" Dumbledore's voice sounded worried and Harry lifted his head to look at the man. He looked a lot like his younger self and the only thing that appeared to have changed was his hair colour. Harry. Yes I suppose I'm Harry again now. After all Harrison lived years ago.

"Yes Headmaster I'm fine, just a little tired. If I could be excused?" Harry was aware that this would be odd because to Dumbledore he had only just arrived but he didn't care. He missed Tom already and the loss was that much harder to handle when he realised that Tom wanted to kill him.

"Ah yes then. It is rather late. Good night Harry." Harry left the room in a daze. His heart felt heavy in his chest and he resisted the urge to cry at what he had lost. It's the same. Nothing's changed. His time in the past didn't seem to have affected the Timeline and although he was grateful that he wasn't waking up in a new world, he couldn't help but to think about the fact that Tom Voldemort was still evil because now Harry really didn't know if he could kill the man.

A/N The end!

Thank you for reading Weakness! I'm hoping that there will be a sequel soon.

Review if you liked it and want a sequel maybe?
