Bella's pov

"Tom you're staring at her again." I nudged him slightly. Yes as you can guess he's become even more infatuated with her, even if it's completely doomed. Normally Tom's survival instincts are rival to none but this girl. She's obviously going to spell his doom but he doesn't seem to care one little bit. Who is this powerful? She has power to survive the killing curse for heaven's sake, she'll break him. Don't think I'm going completely crazy but he will, no matter what he'll do she'll always top him because she has the advantage here. If she was obsessed about him too then they're wouldn't be a problem but she isn't, Tom is obsessed about her to the point of problems. I dread to think where this shall end, and it won't end well for them.

He bit his lip. "I know, but there's something about her."

I rolled my eyes at him; of course there is something about this girl she survived the killing curse. "Yes there is but not enough for this Tom, the way your obsessed with her and you haven't even spoken. Look if you're so desperate please tell her, or at least talk to her. You've never been like this before Tom and it's over a girl who could destroy you."

He snickered. "You have the power to destroy me Bella, and you're a girl. Yes from what you tell me this girl is a risk, a big one but something's you can't help. If she managed to survive the killing curse Bells think of what she could do if she joined our cause, she could aid us like no other."

As truthful as your being though….she wouldn't. Why would she join our cause at all? There's no reason for her to at all, only for her to go against us. She still had parents before Tom, for whatever reason, killed them. Even if Tom decides not to it would destroy this moment completely whether or not he tried. "Tom why would she at all? Remember what you will do to her future Tom, you'll destroy everything she holds dear. It's like what your father did to you, you've orphaned her. If you never interfered you'd have a better chance now but because of this moment you can't anyway. You'd change who she is, change this moment."

"Yes I know this Bells but I can't help but be obsessed with her, and yes I do admit that I'm obsessed with her. She's just so unique. From what you said she's also perspective, she'd realise that I'm obsessed with her if she hasn't already. She's just so important, she could solve everything. She could show us how she's immortal if we gain her trust…." He sighed, and looked over to see her again. She was glaring at Ronald Weasley, and I can tell who he is from his hair; like all Weasley's his hair is auburn.

"Look if you want to talk to her do so." I murmured. "She seems like she's reasonable for a Gryffindor but Tom please remember what you've done to her. If you want to get her on your side then remember what you will do, remember the fact the future is fresh for the taking, remember the rules of time and how it'll shape everything." I warned.

"I know Bella." He sighed.

"Knowing is what's so dangerous about this, your current self obviously despises her for a reason. Think about that Tom, he hates her for a reason. She's been able to escape him so many times what makes you so sure she won't be able to escape you to? She's got luck on her side Tom, something you've never really had. You use brains but luck is something that supports her." He sighed again.

"I know Bella, she's just so….unique. You underestimate her intelligence." I snickered slightly.

"No I don't Tom; she's nowhere near your level of intelligence. She's obviously an idiotic Gryffindor. Spells may have some sort of talent towards but she's dumb." I insisted. "Think if she was smart she'd have joined you instead of kept fighting you which are why this is so hopeless. If she hasn't been tempted by you before, she'll never be in the future. Give up on her Tom." I really hate the way he's obsessing about her; she's just a girl. Maybe she survived the killing curse but that doesn't change much at all, she's still not powerful. She's just foolish and happy, which is how she could cast the patronus.

"Bella she's obviously smart, if she wasn't how the hell did she find the chamber of secrets or find out about the stone or even get through last year? Will you stop this weird grudge against her Bells, she's just a girl. She's only one year younger than we are, she also found the Chamber in her second year when we only found it last year. She's obviously intelligent." He insisted. Me hold a grudge against her? No, I just dislike her….I don't hate her that would be stupid.

I glared at Tom. "I don't hate her, I just don't like her. Admittedly she didn't seem star struck in the hall way but that doesn't mean a thing, she's probably way too arrogant when it comes to her abilities."

"No, she may have confidence but she isn't arrogant Bella." He replied. "Honestly stop hating her for no good reason. She's just a girl."

"Tom I'm just a girl and you've never spoken to her before. How do you know whether or not she's arrogant? You've only spoken to her once, and I know you haven't been digging about her brain for a fact and any information you've found is through me. Your acting like she's a saint Tom, stop overestimating her." I glare at him angry, this girl is making him act like a love struck teenager and it's seriously concerning.

"She can cast the patronus charm Bella." I blinked.

"Yes and? Just because she can cast it doesn't make her amazing Tom." I insist.

Tom groaned with frustration. "Yes but with all she's been through Bella that makes her incredibly forgiving and pure of soul. Her magic is also incredibly light despite all the dark magic that she's come into contact with; she's never even been tempted to use it. Her form is a panther, a magnificent creature full of grace and not to mention deadly when threatened. After all she's been through she must have some form of offensive protection unless she's a fool which she isn't. We know that because she found the chamber in second year when it took us so long and we're no idiots."

"Tom she probably had helped must have had help." I rolled my eyes.

"Yes but so did we Bella. She's more than you let her take credit for Bells." He reasoned.

"Ok, but even if she is more than I take her credit she's still foolish. She insulted me in the corridor with her answer. She's incredibly rude." I admitted. But she was RUDE! Well rude was an understatement. No one else has insulted me that much here in this time period. Her rudeness is insulting. That I refuse to let go.

"This whole time period is rude Bells." Tom groaned.

"Not as rude as her." I sighed.

"Just give up already; you're giving me a headache." He groaned.

"Talk to her yourself than Tom, trust me when I say you'll find her rude and infuriating." I challenged him. Glaring at him, directly in the eyes I added. "Or are you to afraid she'll defeat you again?" Ok that was a tad too much but Tom didn't actually raise to that much to my surprise.

"Fine." He sighed.

"Seriously?" I blinked, ok I hadn't expected him to actually agree to it.

"Yes, because I'm determined to prove to you she doesn't deserve this." He glared at me.

Heather's pov

I was stunned when Tom Marvolo Riddle came over, looking almost identical to the memory in the diary. I almost shivered at the likeness he bore to the Tom Riddle who killed himself in the Chamber. That day….and now…. It's so shocking, almost scary that they even look the same age too. It's almost freaky.

"Hello, you must be Heather Potter." He smiled charmingly, maybe trying to charm me along with it well he was going to fail. I wasn't going to fall for it like Ginny did, or I did in the chamber. Weird because in the end it seemed that I fell for the real Tom, he seemed so much more real than he ever did at the beginning as freaky as it is.

"You must be Tom Riddle." I smiled. "I apologise for not having spoken to you since that night." Liar, I didn't even want to have to talk to him at all. After everything, I wondered whether actually cared in the end but I guess he actually didn't. No he's too busy trying to charm me right now to actually care about the real me; he probably just wants to use me like he used Ginny in the Chamber.

"No, it's me who should apologise Heather, may I call you Heather?" He asked again trying to charm me, well at least that am what I assumed.

"Of course if I can call you Tom." I smiled trying to match the charm he was trying to project. Admittedly his charm is working, but not much! It's just the minimum, not that much. Remember he's manipulative Heather, manipulative and he killed your parents! Well will kill your parents leaving you to have to live with the Dursleys. He destroyed your life Heather, destroyed everything in your world don't be taken in by him.

"Of course." He smiled. "May I ask if you can show me around Hogwarts to tell me the things that have happened since my time?"

"Of course, but I must warn you I am rather awful at history Tom." I smiled.

"It is fine Heather, I am sure you know more than you think." He grinned. "You probably know quite a lot about the history of the castle seeing as you've been here since first year."

"Well I only really know things like where the kitchen is, the fact there are houselves here and the fact you can't apperate in and out of the castle." I bit my lip. "My knowledge about this castle isn't exactly extensive; it would probably be more interesting if you ask my friend Hermione Granger. Although she's a muggleborn she knows more about the wizarding world than I do. You see she's rather effective when studying and my skills rather lack Tom. I was raised in the muggleworld with the people I have the unfortunate fate to call relatives. You see my father's pureblood but my mother is a muggleborn." I smiled.

"I'm a half-blood too; my father was a muggle while my mother was a pureblood. Strange isn't it the fact we are so similar yet different." He smiled.

"You've got a point there." I laughed.

"Sorry but what are houselves?" He asked embarrassed. "Sorry but I've never heard of them before."

"Oh well um it's easier to understand once you've seen them…" I bit my lip. "Well I could take you over if you want." I smiled.

"Thanks." He grinned back.

"Really?" I blinked.

"Yeah, I love the wizarding world. I always thought there was something different about me and there would be others like me." He grinned. "I hated the other world; everyone thought I was a freak at the orphanage."

"They thought you were a freak?" I asked shocked. He nodded. "I thought that was only me." I admitted. "I hate my relatives and well….the feelings mutual really. Not all muggles are bad but well most of them were in my area, I wasn't the only 'freakish' kid there ether and I'm not talking about magic all the time ether really." I admitted.

"Let me guess your cousin was a bully right?" He smiled sympathetically.

"Yes, he loved 'Heather hunting' I spent most of my time running around trying to hide. I guess that's why my reflexes are so good. It's why I've survived so long in the wizarding world I guess." I murmured trailing of as I remembered who this boy actually was.

"Ouch…" He winced. "…and I thought I had it bad in the orphanage…" He murmured. "IT must have been awful being hunted."

"Well I guess it was the only life I knew, I didn't even know about the whole 'girl who lived nonsense' and everyone assumes I'm a power loving attention seeking brat. That's before they'd even met me! I hate it; I don't even know why I survived and everyone's over-the-top about it. Anyway you must think I'm so arrogant bringing the conversation back to myself. It must have been awful in the orphanage." I murmured, remembering the nights when the Dursleys threatened me with one. Well it wasn't much of a threat but I was afraid that it'd be worse.

"It was but from what I'm guessing it was worse than the orphanage… At least at the orphanage they got in trouble for bulling when the child was muggle but from what you're saying it wasn't in your area." He grimaced.

"its fine, it wasn't your fault I got put there. It was Dumbledore's." I smiled.

"I remember how time and time again Dumbledore refused to let me stay here at Hogwarts over the summer, no matter how hard I begged him." He grimaced, my eyes widened.

"Seriously? Me too, whenever I told him he thought I was making it up."

"Same with me." His eyes sparkled. Ok so maybe I was falling for his charm right now. I shouldn't really be talking to him in this detail. I mean since when did I go around telling people about the Dursleys? Tom was making me go all weird.

"Get the hell away from her Riddle." Spat Ron, I jumped. When did he get over here? Since when did he stop hating my guts. I groaned.

"…and you are?" Tom asked arrogantly.

"Ron Weasley." He sneered. "Get the hell away from Heather! You're corrupting her with your darkness!" He yelled. Great how could my life get any worse? My life is awful, you'd have thought the fact I'm alive right now would have had some benefits but no. I wish my life wouldn't be so torcher filled! I guess that my life couldn't get any worse but as always I know that I'm probably wrong….wish that I'm not but I know that my luck will probably secure it.

"Darkness?" Tom laughed. "Honestly even if I tried her souls so pure it wouldn't even make a dent." See? With Ron you should never antagonise him but seeing as Tom has there's a recipe for disaster. I sighed; this was going to end badly….

An: Is the new name ok? Yeah I know there are two chapters but I guess I got into the flow of writing... PLEASE review as always! I'm wondering should I have the DA in this one? Or should I brush over it and ignore it or include it? Please REVIEW I love to hear your feedback.
