Tom Marvolo Riddle was a very happy man as he looked at his new body in awe. After nearly 10 years as something less than a spirit, he had finally returned to a corporal form and it was because of a 11-year-old child. He looked into the mirror and smirked, the elixir had returned him to his prime and old looks, meddling with such dark magic had twisted his looks into something even he was horrified to look at. Now though, he was back to his old self, around his mid-thirties. He flexed his fingers and rolled his shoulders; it was good to be back. The was much to do and in little time, but for now he wanted to think; Hadrian Potter or Hadrian Black-Lupin as he was now, was an enigma. The boy had raised so many questions in his mind that it was alarming, Hadrian had been the child who he had tried to kill because of the prophecy, the boy's magic was there in quantities and yet he handed them the stone.

There was much more to the boy than on the surface and his hate for the Potters was obvious, but what got the Dark Lord was the boy himself, the way his mind worked, even at such a young age, was something to be admired. He had worked out who he was when Dumbledore remained oblivious, he had worked out what he was after and had approached him all from a name that he hadn't used in years; it was mind blowing. The boy was also, somehow, the Slytherin Heir, which itself raised questions. The Potters were in no way related to his line so how the boy could wear the ring was anyone's guess. When Hadrian had asked to speak with him that day in the classroom, Tom could honestly say he was shocked, the boy was bold, but he had obviously thought the whole thing through. And the boy's magic; it was everywhere.

The magic wasn't just running wild, no, he had tight control of it all and used it to his needs and in all his life he had never seen anyone so young control their magic so well like Hadrian. The Dark Lord walked through his father's manor at a sedate pace, he had hated his father and believed him to be a common muggle, again he was surprised that an eleven-year-old had found out the true lineage of his father. His father was actually a pureblood squib which evidently made him a pureblood as well. The manor had been restored, but it wouldn't do, he was moving to Slytherin Castle at the quickest convenience and he had plans to lay out. The first thig on that list was catching up with the latest happenings in the world starting with the latest paper. He sat down to read and his eyebrows rose further and further up his head and he felt his notorious temper stir, Potter's spawn had tried to kill Hadrian and Dumbledore was blocking everything, the old fool was sticking his nose where it wasn't wanted. He was looking forward to destroying the old fool once and for all.

Besides that, Hadrian was the heir, the only Heir to the Slytherin Line, however unexplained, he wore the ring and that was enough. He doubted Black would let this go and Lucius and Lupin were backing him meaning something was happening soon. The next paper made him smirk, a duel between the Black Lord and the Potter Lord was something he wanted to see for himself. It was a public duel and he had every intention of going. He would be unrecognizable if he glamoured his eyes. He looked a bit different from when he was a sixteen-year-old boy. His eyes had stayed red, a bright crimson, but it gave him a certain edge and he actually like them. It would also give him the opportunity to see the wizarding world and the old school, and it would be the perfect opportunity to begin everything.

Tom Marvolo Riddle was very happy and he had plans to change everything.

Sirius, Remus, Hadrian, The Malfoys and Severus sat in the Potion Master's quarters in silence, with the events that had occurred, they had nothing to say. It was all unbelievable for all of them, except for Hadrian and Draco, who of course were expecting it. After 10 years of nothing, not even a whisper, The Dark Lord was somehow active.

"How?" Lucius asked finally. "How has he come back now?"

"We will have to wait and see." Severus said quietly.

"What will happen now?" Sirius wondered and they shook their heads.

"Until he calls for us, we do not know."

"You seem almost disappointed." Harry pointed out dryly and they whipped around to glare at him.

"Never." Lucius stated venomously. "Having the Dark Lord return to us is the greatest blessing."

Harry smirked.

"Just as long as you're still loyal, I don't think he'd be too pleased if you weren't."

"You do not know him."

Harry merely raised an eyebrow.

"Besides I'm sure he will inform you of his great return when he calls, it's a rather shocking story. I hope he doesn't wait until summer for a meeting." Harry mused and he was getting looks of shocked disbelief from everyone except Draco, who was shacking his head at his friend's antics.

"How would you know anything about his return and why would you want a meeting with him?" Severus asked slowly and Harry returned an innocent look.

"Huh well it was a guess and anyone would want to talk to him." He cast tempus. "Oh, look a that, curfew, come on Draco." He grabbed Draco and they hurried to the Slytherin common room. The adults looked at the door.

"It's not possible he had something to do with it, is there?" Lucius questioned and no one knew how to answer.

In the dorms, Harry was grinning like an idiot.

"I can't believe it's already happened." Harry told Draco.

"Neither can I." Draco agreed and then shook his head. "I still remember the day you told me what you were planning. That was the day you confirmed, you were crazy." Harry laughed.

"I know, I'm going to have another meeting. He probably has questions and he has to give me the stone."

"There we go, mental."

Harry rolled his eyes.

"I'm going to bed, after tonight, I'm exhausted, and tomorrow we're preparing for the duel."

"I can't wait to see Potter getting defeated." Draco said with a grin and Harry chuckled.

"Agreed."
