Chapter 18 : Dealing with Snape

As I had expected the old man had called Tom to his office and with detailed proof of him being his own grandson there wasn't much Dumbles could have done. What I wasn't expecting was for the pure loathing Snape not only started to have toward me but also all those who were close to me.

"If he doesn't watch himself, you will no longer have a Potions Master on your pay roll." I say to Tom later one night when the others had already gone to sleep, and we had put up silencing spells.

"Considering I don't believe he was ever truly on my side; I don't see it as much of a loss." Tom answered back with as he moved to drag me up against his chest with his back against the headboard.

"Will you be making plans to visit Slytherin's Basilisk?" I asked trying to get my mind off a man who couldn't grow up and took pleasure from bulling children.

"Maybe after Yule I will go and see him. Before that though I need to focus on making sure Dumbledore will be completely distracted in digging into my past so we can get the ball going in getting our orphanages up and going." Tom said with a slight hiss to his words as he thought on all that he could get accomplished underneath Dumbledore's nose while pretending to be a student.

"Speaking of that, is this look permanent or is it a complex charm and or potion?" I asked because I was beyond curious in how he was able to be my age when the last time I saw him he was a young adult in his twenties.

"Its permanent. I thought I would level the field between us, so to speak." He smirked as he answered my question. Spending my Second Year with Tom was an experience that brought many changes into my life, the most positive thing about him attending Hogwarts with me was that we were able to make and discuss plans together without it being suspicious since to anyone else we were just two twelve year old boys.

"Just like your father. Twenty Points for not paying attention and not taking notes when assigned to." Snape's voice snapped as he glared toward me with a glint of satisfaction while taking House Points from me.

"I apologize Professor Snape, but didn't you say all eyes forward and for us to not take out anything?" I questioned even while my thoughts drifted to how I would love to torture him for thinking he was above me.

"Thirty Points for back talking to a teacher." Was his only response making me grit my teeth and let out a soundless hiss between my teeth as my eyes gained a glow to them as I fought to keep my magic under control. Tom placed his hand over mine under the table while glaring toward Snape with thoughts of murder floating through his mind as he watched the Potions Professor.

"I do believe it's time we had a talk with our dear professor." Tom hissed out in rage as his own magic moved to sooth my own making me smirk at the 'talk' we would be having with Snape after class.

"Dismissed. Is there a reason you two have stayed behind Mr. Potter and Mr. Riddle?" Snape questioned in disgust and loathing as he turned to watch us. Tom didn't bother to answer instead sending his magic to lock and ward the room, while he was doing so I called upon Lady Hogwarts to keep any magic used in this room from gaining Dumbles or anyone else attention.

"I do believe we need to 'discuss' the way you have been talking toward me." I answer with as I finally let all my mask fall along with letting my magic out to fill the room causing the shadows to come alive and hissing to fill the room.

"How likes your father! Just as arrogant as he was!" Snape snapped in disdain as he held his wand loosely in his hand as he watched me with rage.

"I wouldn't know how my father might have acted seeing as how you lead Voldemort to them by blabbing about a prophecy. How does it feel knowing you are the sole reason for the death of the women you loved?" I questioned in cruel glee at seeing his face pale and watching as he flinched back at my question.

"Truly it doesn't matter because I am neither of my parents, nor am I Dumbles golden boy. You will learn to mind your tongue around me." I hissed out barely able to keep my words in English for him to understand as I let my magic snap forward to wrap around the man causing him to fall to his knees as my magic pressed down on him forcing him to kneel before me or suffer agonizing pain.

"I always find it fascinating how those beneath me try to rise up above their station. I have been tolerant toward you Severus, now it's time to show you why I am the most feared Dark Lord in centuries." Tom snarled with his words having a hissing tilt to them as his eyes turned crimson as his magic joined mine in keeping Snape on his knees as his magic came alive and wrapped around his neck and seeped into his skin making him scream out in agony.

"My Dark Mark isn't just to show that you are one of my followers, it has more purposes than that, why did you think it hurt so much when I applied it?" Tom questioned in mirth as he called forth the safety measures, he entwined into each Dark Mark he placed on his followers.

"Having free will was something I allowed, but with you Severus Tobias Snape will no longer be offered. You must feel it by now, yes? My magic working to completely overtake your mind and reprogram your thinking and loyalties. You completely belong to me until your death, now you will prove your worth by being my true spy in Dumbledore's favor." Tom added in savage glee as Snape's eyes glazed over and his magic dimmed only to brighten as his eyes snapped into focus.

"As you command My Lord." Snape's voice said with zero emotion held in it. The safety measures Tom had put into his Dark Mark was terrifying, since each follower willingly allowed his magic to imbed into their arm to allow the Mark to be placed, they allowed his magic a way in to take complete control of them. If he truly wanted to, he could have true puppets without anyone being the wiser, yet he did wish his followers to follow him willingly.

"Let the game begin anew." I mummer with delight and a cruel laugh as Snape stood there awaiting more orders and programming that would become who he truly was without even Dumbledore the wiser.
