In A Time Not Meant To Be(Harry Potter Fanatic)

Worry and Worry and Woes

When Harry woke up really early in the morning, he saw that Tom was standing near him and glaring. "Peverell how did you get such a fine invisibility cloak when evidence proves you are to poor to buy one of such quality?" Tom asked seemingly amused and toying with Harry's invisibility cloak. Harry felt shocked, confused and slightly scared because of his sleepiness, but as soon as most of it washed way.

In 3 seconds to be exact, he started racking his brain for a response. "It was my father's before he died", Harry answered whilst trying to get the cloak back to no avail. "Oh! Okay" Riddle spoke in a causal manner before a brief pause, "You'll let me borrow it, won't you?" he inquired, his voice becoming more threatening by the second. "No, I won't." Harry spoke back to the 'oh so powerful' Heir of Slytherin, the last sliver of sleepiness he felt giving him confidence he would not have had otherwise.

When all the sleepiness had left him along with the last few words he had uttered, the realization of the possible negative effects of his actions, got some time to properly sink in. He took a glance at Tom who was fuming so much you could practically feel the heat from a mile away. Harry was glad that this conversation had happened so early, nobody else was around to see the whole commotion. But Tom still had his invisibility cloak. It was then that Harry knew he messed up real bad.

Tom, still fuming, pocketed the cloak and when Harry realized what he was doing, Harry tackled Tom to the ground. Harry knew that he would regret this later but he was partially a Gryffindor at heart so you can't blame him that much. Also that cloak was of great significance to Harry, it having belonged to his father and the only thing he had of his parents. This bought of impulsiveness from Harry caused momentary confusion for just long enough that Harry could get the cloak back and put new protection charms on his possessions. Harry just managed to leave the common room before Riddle recovered from the shock.
