Alpha Lord

Switching paths

It had been about a month since my idea to search the library and I found myself engrossed in reading as much of the books as possible. There were many interesting ones for various subjects and I had fallen into a routine of napping during playtime and reading during nap time.

I don't think anyone noticed my stunt which was great but it also meant that they were distracted. Only one thing can keep them that much on end and it was Voldy. They try not to show how much stressed they are whenever they are around me but I can see how affected they are. Dad has dark spots under his eyes and so does mom. They both are constantly busy with something when they arent with me and hardly take care of themselves. It pains me to watch them suffer so much but I can't really do anything as yet.

My spell casting has improved severely and I can do both wandless and wordless magic. This will be so helpful in the future but I still haven't figured out how to get around the war without seriously affecting the timeline. No matter how powerful magic is, there are certain things that are not acceptable and altering a timeline can mess up the world severely.

I also haven't gotten any information on Voldy's background so I finally caved accepting death's help. As much as I wanted to do this myself, time was of importance and it was getting shorter and shorter. As death began to explain everything about Voldy, I realized that we weren't so different. My past life almost perfectly aligns with his and there were certain details that a specific headmaster conveniently forgot to include while retelling the story to me. Such as the fact that Tom went to him about the abuse he faced, thinking that the kind 'grandfatherly figure' will help him. Like me, he did nothing but this time there was simply no excuse. He couldn't say the same thing he said for me, that I needed blood wards to protect me, so why did he leave a child to suffer. Any strand of doubt I had towards the headmaster shattered by the time death finished its tale and I knew it was by sheer luck that I didn't turn out like Tom.

I've always been told that I need to kill him and naïve as I was, I listened to those words, following blindly to every order disguised as a friendly request just because I craved somewhere to fit in.

By the time I began Hogwarts, I was hurt so many times that I became obedient to the first kind gesture shown. It had been hard to admit, but it was necessary now. I can no longer live in the past. I have a chance to right those wrongs. I guess killing Tom is no longer priority but stopping this mass corruption is.

Unfortunately for me, I have to find a way to get through to Tom and hope that he has some human qualities remaining.
