Harry and Tom and their family

Chapter 11

It had been two weeks since Tom had tortured Harry and he still hadn't woken up. Tom was getting more and more worried, he would check for a heart beat constantly and never leave his side.

Finally the next day Tom was in bed working, when he heard something. He whipped out his wand and looked around with his Lord Voldemort face, but didn't see anything. But made the room more secure anyway.

Then he felt something move and hit his leg, he looked down expecting to see only Nagini, but when he saw what it was, his heart almost flew out of his chest with relief, happiness and love. It was Harry, he had finally woken up! At the sight of his eyes slowly opening his own eyes filled with tears of happiness.

"HARRY!" Tom whispered as he slowly and carefully brought him over and hugged him gently.

Harry opened his mouth to say something but Tom shook his head and put a finger over his lips smiling. Healer Burns stayed at the manor after what had happened to Harry so that he could keep an eye on him. Tom snapped his fingers and Missy came to see what he wanted. He told her to tell Healer Burns that Harry was awake.

"I'm so sorry Harry, it, it was an accident. With the mood I was in right that second I must have made your scar hurt too." Tom said looking at him as he ran his hand along his cheek. Just thinking about what he had done to him as an infant made him feel even worse! When Missy came back he had Healer Burns behind her. "How are you feeling Lord Harry?" he asked looking worried.

Harry tried to answer him but couldn't say anything. Ron and Hermione had followed Burns and Missy from the library and stared at him wide eyed along with Tom.

"WHAT'S WRONG WITH HIM?!" he exclaimed his eyes watering.

"Why can't he talk? Is it from the curse?" asked Hermione horrified.

"WHAT HAVE I DONE NOW! OH! JUST CALL ME LORD VOLDEMORT, HE - WHO - MUST - NOT -BE -NAMED, YOU - KNOW - WHO, THE DARK LORD, AND ALL THE OTHER BLOODY NAMES I HAD!" yelled Tom as he covered his face with his hands.

"Calm down Tom, calm down. We'll fix this, won't we?" Hermione said trying to sooth him.

He looked over at him with his eyes even redder than normal.

"Can I get his answer through our connection?" he asked looking from Burns to Harry and back.

"I'm not su- connection?" Burns asked looking confused.

Tom looked at Ron, Hermione and Harry. Harry stared at him for minute and slowly tried to nod his head but couldn't do it, his scar was still too sore and he needed Tom to even lift his head. So he took that as a yes, sighed and started their story.

"The night I went after him as a baby we all know he got his scar after the curse rebounded. And becoming the first wizard to ever survive the killing curse never mind it coming from me, I had somehow given him some of my own powers. And became something that I had already had five of, a horcrux. My soul was so weak from doing it that many times already that the mixture of Lily Potter's sacrifice and my weak soul caused us to have a connection through his scar. The connection is from him being a horcrux along with the pain that he would get in his scar before we played around with it after he had Berwin. His scar would bother him if I were feeling powerful emotions, close or sending him visions such as the one of his Godfather being tortured by me in the ministry when I wasn't even there."

Tom looked over at him and smiled looking guilty while Harry stared at him angrily.

"Now, as I was saying, I tried to get him there because of a prophecy made about us and only Harry or I could get it and I didn't want to show myself. So I made Harry get it and after a duel with Dumbledore I possessed him and shockingly enough he fought it off." Tom explained.

"Oh, well then, I suppose we could try it." Burns said to him.

So everyone watched worriedly as the two tried to answer Burns' question and as hard and painful as it was for him, he got his answer to Tom. Tom was going to be the way for him to communicate for the time he can't speak.

"He said his scar still hurts and is sore from me being an idiot but, -"

'I didn't say you were an idiot Tom' Harry sent to him.

'Oh fine.'

"Let me fix that, he said his scar still hurts and is sore from my curse, but other than that he feels pretty good.

'Happy?' he asked as Harry smiled.

Healer Burns did a few tests on him and the babies to make sure everything was alright. The babies were still fine from Harry's magic protecting them. And Harry had gotten a smidge stronger after those two weeks of rest but like he had said before, couldn't do anything for himself. Tom would have to feed him, give him his potions and help him swallow it, dress him, give him some of his own magic to help him have some before he lost his own. Burns would come check on him once a week, Berwin would help Tom and the others take care of him along with Ron and Hermione.

The others, Bill, Flora, Fred, George, and all those guys came to visit and help. Tom did most of the work though, considering he and Harry had the same type of magical skills, wand core, abilities, power and strength, blood from Tom taking some of his in the graveyard and all of that. Severus would fish in his lab at Hogwarts for his best healing potions incase he ran out there so he could make more. It would help his scar but it took a while for it to completely stop bothering him. They all wondered how he could survive like that when they saw him try to get his hand on it but still wasn't strong enough.

One night when Tom was giving Harry his dinner, he saw him move his arm on his own. Was he just imagining it or had Harry started to get his strength back?

"Harry, did you just move on your own?" he asked.

Harry still couldn't talk for some reason so he sent him his answer,

'I think so. I've been trying to get at least one of my fingers to move all week.' he sent to him.

"Missy!" Tom called.

"Yes master Tom?" she said smiling.

"I want you to go get Healer Burns. I want to show him something."

So Missy left and got Burns while Tom finished feeding Harry his dinner.

"Did you need something My Lord?" he said when he came in.

"Yes, Harry, do you think you can do it again?" he asked.

'I'll try.' he sent to him.

So Harry tried to get his arm to move and after three tries, he finally got it to move. Healer Burns was surprised,

"I didn't expect him to be able to do that for another month!" he said smiling.

"I have been giving him some of my magic so he didn't lose his because we can tell how powerful each other is, and his magic was so weak, he wouldn't even have been able to raise his wand and do the most simplest spell in your first year at Hogwarts, I couldn't help it! I needed my real love, my real Harry with me!"

"Don't worry My Lord, that's actually how he got some of his strength back already, the mixture of the magic and power between you two. Keep doing it at least twice a day but stay still for just one second please so I can put a charm on you so your magic doesn't get exhausted." Burns told him.

So Tom stood there and was protected from his magic exhausting.
