Tom's POV

Narcissa knocked at the door to my office where I was doing paperwork. I looked up at her, "Yes, Cissa?"

She pursed her lips, "Harry is awake. He is better than he was, will still need some potions to get his health where it's supposed to be. I'm headed back to our manor, to check on Draco and Lucius. Let me know if you'll need any of us."

She nodded then turned and disappeared towards the greeting room floo. Tom quickly stood and started towards the room Harry was staying in for now. As he passed through the halls, the paintings all nodded at him, all of them of past family. Reaching the door, Tom paused and took a deep breath before opening it. Immediately, Tom was assaulted with the most wonderful smell. LIke a bonfire with pine and spring, other scents mixed in as well that never seemed to stay on one thing. He looked to the bed first, knowing where Harry was there last.

Upon not seeing him in the bed, Tom scanned the room. First finding Severus, then locking onto the most beautiful pair of multicolored orbs. The pair stared at each other for a moment before Harry started to panic and curled into a ball on the floor. For several moments nothing happened, Tom just stared at Harry, transfixed. Then Severus shifted where he was sitting and Tom locked eyes with him. A silent command for the black haired male to leave was sent between them.

Tom was unsure why he was doing this, only that he knew Severus had to be far away from his mate. Mate. There was that word again. While Tom's outside demeanor was calm and collected, his inner demon was screaming at him to attack the dominant vampire that just happened to be too close to his little mate. But Severus understood what was happening. He was quick to stand, glancing at Harry then back at Tom before apperating to the greeting chamber to wait for his lord and Harry.

Soon as Severus was gone, Tom was back to looking at Harry. Said male was still in a ball on the floor, but was now shivering slightly and rocking back and forth. Tom's inner demon wanted to comfort their mate, but Tom held him back. He didn't want to traumatize Harry by doing that. Though he understood the need to do something. Taking another deep breath and ignoring the tantalizing scent, Tom crossed the room and sat in the recently vacated chair. Harry stopped rocking and just was sitting in a ball on the floor.

"Harry," Tom started, "Harry, I can't help you if you don't talk to me." After a few moments of more silence, he stated "I'm not going to hurt you Harry. I promise. I'll even make you an oath that I'm not going to hurt you." Tom watched as Harry shifted and started to pull back his wings. A minute later, his eyes met Tom's once more.

"You promise to vow?" Harry whispered in a small voice.

Tom didn't hesitate and nodded at the teen. With an even smaller whisper, an "Ok" came from the frighted teen.

Tom grabbed his wand from inside his robe, Harry flinched a bit before extending his small pale hand to Tom. The larger male gently grasped Harry's hand before pointing his wand and starting the spell, "Voveo me non nocere tibi," a thin rope of light wrapped around the two hands.

"I, Tom Marvolo Riddle, do swear on my magic to not harm Harry James Potter, physically or mentally, to my own knowledge, while he has a place in my home. I swear on my magic to be truthful to him to the best of my own knowledge. All this I swear to do by my magic or let Lady Magic take my magic," Tom vowedThe light glowed brightly, before it disappeared. "There. Lady Magic accepts the vow." Tom said, watching Harry again.

Harry was still sitting on the floor in front of the mirror with his wings still mostly covering himself. It was quiet for a moment while Harry just stared at the floor and Tom stared at Harry.

"What happened? The last thing I remember is... is being at my uncle's house," Harry said brokenly, shuddering softly and barely raising his voice to be heard.

Tom explained how Harry's cousin had sent Hedwig for help after finding him bleeding out on the bed. He informed Harry on how Hedwig had come to find Severus and they had come to help him. Once arriving, he explained, they found him in the mists of his inheritance. How they had brought him here, to Tom's family mansion, to heal.

As Tom finished he said, "You have been passed out for almost three days with Cissa and Sev healing you. You almost died." Tom was silent after finishing his explanation.

Harry looked up at him, fear in his eyes. "Dumbledore has trackers on me. How has he not found me? He.. he made me go back every summer. Every summer, even after I told him what Uncle Vernon did to me." Harry dissolved into tears, crying and shaking on the floor.

Before Tom could react, his demon took over. He scooped Harry up, cuddling and purring at the crying submissive in his lap. After several minutes of cooing and keening at the small teen, he had stopped crying and was only breathing raggedly.
