It Will Come Back

~ Knights of Walpurgis

Tom's POV

Visions, I'm having bloody visions of this girl. It's her by my side and we are ruling the world together. I have had these visions since I was a kid, the moment in the hall when I saw her, I knew it was her. How had I missed her? We went to the same bloody school. I felt furious, she didn't want to join my cause, our cause. She didn't care what Evan thought, Im sure she'd care about what Regulus thought. I'd get Regulus to get her to officially join. She would be by my side.

Banging on Regulus Black's door at three in the morning was not my plan. Here I was though, why am I so desperate for her to join? This is pathetic. The door quickly opened with an angry looking Lucius Malfoy. "I need Regulus now." I demanded.

     "Okay fine." Lucius huffed.

     "Excuse me?" I raised an eyebrow.

     "Okay my dark lord." Lucius called as he walked away.

Regulus walked towards the door and raised an eyebrow. He had the look of ' what is it now'.

     "Are all of you just wanting to be punished? Address me." I snapped.

"My dark lord is there something you need?" Regulus clenched his jaw and stood up straight.

     "Your friend." I said simply.

     "My friend? Wait Gen?" Regulus questioned.

"Yes Gen who else would I be asking for?" I shook my head. I swear I do not know why some of my followers are idiots.

"My lord may I ask why you need her?" Regulus inquired. Why must this be so difficult can't he just talk to her for me?

"I need her as my right hand, Ive seen it. This needs to happen for the greater good. It will happen even if you or her like it or not." I said strongly.

Regulus nodded deep in thought. "What you want me to convince her to join us?" Regulus questioned.

"Yes why must you make this so hard! Get her to join or you will be punished. You have two meeting times to convince her." I snapped and then left not wanting to hear his opinion on it.

I woke up just in time to get ready for my first class and go there. I walked through the halls giving fake smiles occasionally to a few students who think highly of me. Possible recruits. I walked into my first class smirking, I knew the power I held. Today I was going to find out more about this horcrux, how to make one. Slughorn was going to help me with it.

"I was in the library the other night, in the restricted section and, I read something rather odd about a bit of rare magic. It's called, as I understand it..." I looked at Slughorn as he drank. I smirked, "A horcrux."

     Slughorn's eyes got wide, "I beg your pardon?" He was shocked I knew it.

     "Horcrux." I repeated myself again. Keep your cool Tom you need more information. "I came across the term while reading, and I didn't fully understand it." I slightly lied. I knew how well my charm worked around Slughorn especially when he drinks like he is now.

     "I'm not sure what you're reading, Tom, but this is very dark stuff, very dark indeed." He obviously disapproved of this conversations.
