The Life of Amelia Potter (WTM)

23

(Malfoy Manor)

Lucius throws a bag at Severus. "Happy Christmas. That's all you're getting this year. You have no idea how difficult it was to find."

It was a black book that was embroidered at the bottom 'Tom Marvolo Riddle.'

"Well done, Lucius. You sure know how to get a job done." Severus chuckled.

Lucius was pouring him and Severus some firewhiskey. "What now? Where do we go from here?"

"I'm hoping that with Penelope putting a location spell on the Dark Lord, it will be able to be reversed and lead us to them."

"That's a really great idea, Severus. Are you returning to the castle tonight?"

He nodded his head. "I am. Might Mia stay here until Draco returns on the train?"

"Of course. I don't think I can take her from Cissy, let alone Draco. Cissy loves that girl like she is her own." Lucius said.

"Thank you, my friend. I shall be in touch."

(Hogwarts)

Severus entered the DADA room. Quirrell jumped again. "Are you this naturally jumpy? Merlin, you are supposed to be teaching kids how to defend themselves."

"The Dark Lord tells me what to teach. My love is for herboligy." Quirrell admitted without his pretend stutter.

"Well, it just so happens. I am here to speak to him. So if you wouldn't mind."

Quirrell unwrapped his head.

"Sssseverus. Do you have news?"

He held up the diary and placed it on the table.

"Good work. Now we musssst activate it."

"It was actually Lucius Malfoy who found it, my lord. How do we activate it?" He asked.

The Dark Lord began to cough. "Well, you both made excellent timing. I am not going to last in this vessel much longer. Open the book and write, 'Appear to me, Tom Riddle.' And my teenage self shall appear for me to re-enter."

Severus did as he was told, and a teenage Tom Riddle appeared in the room. He looked to the back of Quirrell's head, only for it to be bare.

"It is instant that I was able to be reunited with my body, Severus." He said.

"My Lord." Severus bowed.

He shook his head. "No. No more of that. This is not what I wanted to happen. I don't know what went wrong, but my older self did not follow my views. It's like my views and ideas were twisted into something bad."

"What do you mean, and how should I address you?"

He thought for a moment. "Aseop. I want to go back to my name my true family gave me. Also, my ideas about bettering the Wizarding World weren't about eliminating muggleborns and half bloods. It was about further their education. Starting it earlier than Hogwarts to keep up to out traditions and standards. There is so much conflict between the pureblood and the muggleborns because they are erasing our wizarding traditions. My idea was for muggleborns to attend a starter school 2 years before their wizarding school."

"We have never heard of this either. It is a wonderful idea and I'm a muggleborn!" Lily agreed.

Severus was so taken back. "How is it that these views got lost. All we have known is world domination, blood supremacy."

James was confused as well. "Yes, how did we go from a good idea to 'I'm gonna kill everyone'."

Aseop shrugged. "I don't know, but that wouldn't make sense. I'm a half blood myself. Why would I want blood supremacy when I'm not at the top."

"I believe it is time for a trip to Gringotts. Do an inheritance test and see if you need to be cleansed of any compulsions." Severus suggested.

Aseop shook his head. "I believe that is wise. I would like to visit my mother vault too."

A/N
Memory Tom Riddle will be referred to as Aseop. While great hall Tom Riddle will still be referred to as Tom for now.
