Their Secret (Harry Potter Fanfic)

Part 21

It was during Hisa's fifth year they decided to change Tom's blood status to pureblood. It was a truly terrifying and painful experience for Tom, but in the end it was all worth it. He could feel his power growing while in the mist of the most terrible pain he had ever experienced.

After they were done Hisa warned him to keep his new powers hidden, so no one would ask any questions about his sudden increase in power. Tom at first wanted to share with his followers, so that they could become more powerful and better able to help.

"But Tom, don't you see?" Hisa began walking around him as she explained in her sweetest voice "You can always get new followers, but if they think they are as powerful as you, they will try to take your throne and we can't have that, now can we?" The last thing was whispered in his ear and he shivered slightly as he felt her ice cold breath.

"Hisa" Tom asked in a slightly shaking voice "have you ever heard of a Horcrux?"

Hisa took a step back as she thought "Horcrux... Oh right, where you split you soul in halve right? Is that you new goal Tom?"

"Yes" Tom answered "I have been thinking and what we are doing is dangerous and to be quite honest I don't want to die, I want to live forever, to be immortal"

Hisa looked at him for a moment.

"I can see the idea of you using an Horcrux, I don't need to I have already ensured I will keep living, and before you ask it can not be used for you or I would have said something" Hisa said "But remember Tom, to keep existing and to keep living are two entirely different things"

Tom looked a little confused and asked "What do you mean?"

"If you die while having a Horcrux you will live as a shadow, not alive but not dead either" Hisa answered suddenly very serious "Do you still want to do it?"

"Yes" Tom answered at once.

"Then find something that will be protected always, without anyone knowing what they are to you and make more than one make as many as you can, that way your chance of surviving is best" Hisa said.

"What are we waiting for, let's begin"she said suddenly back to smiling sweetly. "Ohh and by the way I have a great idea for the last one, just in case" She said while winking at him from over her shoulder.
