Tom Riddle Imagines

Tom Riddle's Diary (2)

Golden Trio Era (CoS)

Y/N Y/LN

"So darling, will you help me get out?" Tom asked me. I thought about what he told me. His tragic childhood before Hogwarts. How he felt like an oucast, weak, vulnerable. That he was afraid of death. I mean, after hearing his story, how could I not help him? Although..."How do I know you're not using me? That once I help you out, you won't kill me? I've always known the most beautiful things to be the most dangerous" I tell him.

"Oh, I won't kill you darling. Especially if you can prove that you are stronger than Grindelwald and Voldemort" he replied, his eyes glinting. "And how do you propose I do that? Grindelwald is in prison, and Voldemort is not currently in a body, he's probably trying to leech magical energy off some unsuspecting soul, with whatever remains of him since his defeat" I scoffed, and took note of Tom's jaw clench when I spoke of Voldemort. Strange? Yes. But not enough to deter me from him. "When we get out, let's have a duel. I'm quite powerful, i'll be a good match" he spoke with hubris. "Ok, whatever. How do I get you out?" I ask.

We'd managed to agree on a plan, now all we had to do was to put it into place. Harry Potter Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger (all from second year) were looking into the heir of Salazaar Slytherin following the attack by a Basilisk released in the castle.

Tonight, I'd found out that the trio planned to use polyjuice potion to ask Draco Malfoy if it was him or if he knew who it was. The thought made me laugh. Those three are so stupid and reckless. Anyways, whilst they try to get in our common room to see Draco, I shall plant Tom's diary in his room. Then, hopefully, all will go as planned.

Harry had finally figured out where the chamber's entrance was after hermione got petrified. Him and Ron were about to Follow Professor Lockhart down there. Y/n had returned to the chamber earlier that evening as GInny Weasley had been taken by the monster. She hid in the chamber of secrets with Tom, awaiting Harry's arrival. Lockhart turned out to be a coward and a liar, so Harry and Ron forced him into the chamber.

Lockhart had attempted to cast a memory charm on them after stealing Ron's wand, but it backfired, and Ron hit the professor on the head, knocking him out cold. Shortly after, part of the entrance cave collapsed, seperating Harry and Ron. The Weasley boy stayed behind as the 'chosen one' ventured into the chamber alone using parseltongue at the door, and ran in after seeing Ginny's body on the floor.

Tom interacted with Harry, attempting to manipulate him, whilst Y/n watched and waited from the shadows. Soon enough, Tom got the Basilisk to chase Harry, and that's when Y/n emerged to duplicate the diary.

She went over the next part of the plan once again with Tom, ensuring he'd be able to fake his death believably. Y/n then retreated, hearing Harry's footsteps returning to the main chamber. She got bored, watching his and Tom's encounter, so summonned a book to read to pass the time.

Finally Harry killed the Basilisk and realised its tooth could be used to destroy the diary. At this, Y/n carefully placed down her reading book and pulled out her wand. As Harry raised the dagger and stabbed the duplicate horcrux, Y/n cast a spell on Tom, making a blinding light appear on Tom's body which then looked to melt through his being, and dissolve some of his body parts.

When Harry stabbed the diary for the last time, Y/n cast the spell once again, making it seem like Tom evaporated into thin air. She then removed the curse linking Ginny to Tom, and soon enough, the two second years left the chamber.

"Well that was successful, despite your pet being killed" I told Tom as I cast the reverse spell on him. "Yes, I must admit, you did a good job. Now, do not mention my basilisk again if you want to live" he said coldly. Damn. Sensitive much? "Let's get out of here then" I told him, and he nodded, getting back into the diary. Once he was inside, I shut it, and disapparated to the manor I inherited from my father.

It took a while, but I had finally collected the ingredients to release the part of Tom's soul that was in the diary with a blood ritual. It was now mid-July, and the weather seemed to be hotter than ever. Despite that, I needed to do this ritual today. So I prepared all the ingredients, practised the spell in my head again and again, until I was ready.

I placed Tom's diary open and then carefully pricked my finger, letting the thick blood travel across the page. I then collected the powdered bone of Tom's father, which I also smeared into the pages. Then, I took a deep breath and chanted the spell 3 times.

At first, nothing happened. Then after a minute, whisps of what appeared to be his soul from the diary, shot out and began to form. Around 10 minutes later, his whole body had formed and nothing more came from the diary. I watched Tom, as he raised his hands to his face, feeling his solid face. He smirked as he realised it worked. He then raised his head, making eye contact with me, before slowly stalking towards me.

When he was less than a metre away, my breath hitched. He suddenly closed the distance, before wrapping his hand around my neck and tightening it. "Tom. W-what are you doing?" I asked, struggling to breath. "Oh, my dear Y/n. You've underestimated my power. The power of Lord Voldemort" He told me, making my eyes widen in complete shock. The last thing I saw before I passed out was his sadistic grin.
