The next day you were all going back to Hogwarts, and you were waiting to go to Dumbledore's office, as well was Harry-after weeks of effort, weeks of planning and risks, you both finally had the most important memories.
You held your bag tightly against you, it had important notes, for the potion you and Voldemort were working on just one more week you thought, Then the potion will be complete and the lost Prophecy will be shown. You sighed heavily.
"What happens after the prophecy is shown Y/n?" Hermione asked breaking your chain of thoughts. "We see the prophecy, but before that, the contents of the two most important vials are in the bag, we'll see what my mother did, you saw my grandparent right? They were so reluctant to talk about my mother, it must have wounded them deeply." You said quietly. "There is a memory I haven't seen Dumbledore, told me to meet Uncle at that time. So I don't know what happened." You said softly, Harry squirmed.Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogy, Warty Hogwarts
Teach us something, please
Whether we be old and bald
Or young, with scabby knees
Our heads could do with filling
With some interesting stuff,
For now, they're bare and full of air,
Dead flies and bits of Fluff
So teach us things worth knowing
Bring back what we've forgotten,
Just do your best, we'll do the rest
And learn our brains till they rot.Everyone sat down after the song, the song of Hogwarts. For some reason Dumbledore wanted it sung again. It usually happened at the start of the year, but the year just felt a lot better after this song. You all sat down and began having dinner.
You and Harry rushed to Dumbledore's office."Professor," Harry called stepping inside after you. "Harry, Y/n what brings you here?" Dumbledore pleasantly asked, "We've gotten it, Luciana's actual memory, and Professor Slughorn's memory." Harry announced.
For a brief moment, Dumbledore looked shocked his lips parted apart. Then he smiled brightly at you both, "Well done! well done Harry, Y/n. Now, we shall see." You placed the box on top of the desk and removed the vials.
"These are the most precious memories and without these, we'll be blind, Voldemort hunted this memory. For years in his life." Dumbledore said going to the Pensive. He poured Professor Slughorn's memory.Again everything was black until the smoky figures started taking shapes. There was slight laughter, Where Professor Slughorn sat at the throne-like seat, while the other boys sat around the table. You had no problem recognizing Riddle, there he sat tall and Handsome as usual he was the most relaxed of any one of the boys.
Slughorn reached for the Crystalized pineapple "Well you are quite right Tom, It is my favorite but... how did you know?" You glanced at Tom waiting for his reply. Tom didn't reply but merely smiled, While the boys just chuckled."Professor is it true that Professor Merrythought is retiring?" Tom questioned. Slughorn looked amused but-
"More knowledgeable than half the staff you are Tom. I'd like to know where you get the information boy." Slughorn said almost sternly but ruined it by winking. "Knowing more things, you are not supposed to." He said again very amused.
"Also thank you for the pineapple, you'd do well in the Minister of magic.... twenty years you'd have risen, fifteen if you keep sending me a pineapple. I have good contacts with the ministry." All the boys laughed. Tom simply smiled again.
"I didn't think politics would suit me, I think my background wouldn't suit that," Riddle said after the laughter had died down, The boys around smirked at each other enjoying a private joke around their circle maybe.
Suddenly the clock tinkled eleven 'clock "Oh god gracious is it that time already? You better be going boys, or Dippet will have us all in Detention." Slughorn said ushering them outside, It was clear that Riddle wanted to speak to Slughorn... Privately."Look sharp Tom, don't want to be caught out of bed, after bed. You're perfect." Slughorn said but looked at Tom "Something on your mind Tom?"
"Yes Sir, I was wondering if you could tell me a little on... Horcruxes?" Riddle asked. "Horcruxes?" Slughorn asked shocked "Tom that is very dark... magic." Slughorn said quietly. "I thought- um maybe you could..... tell me about it-- I do understand if you can't like as you said dark stuff, It's just out of curiosity so I thought." You noticed he was doing this too well, his behavior, the hesitancy in his words, the way he talked, He was a natural, nothing was overdone.
Harry noticed it too, it was not long before anyone could catch on to this, he had charmed Slughorn.
