Harry and I were called up to Dumbledore's office. Harry knocked on the door, waited and opened it. We walked in and I closed the door behind us. "Ah, you've got my message. Come in." We walked towards his desk and stood in front of him. 

"How are you?" He asked us. "Fine, sir." We answered. "Enjoying your classes?" We nodded. "I heard Professor Slughorn is most impressed with you." "I think he overestimates my abilities, sir. (Y/N) is an absolute natural, but I'm way under her level." Harry replied. "What about your activities outside the classroom? I noticed you've spent a lot of time with Miss Granger. You in particular, Harry. I can't help wondering if....." "Oh, no. She's brilliant and we're friends, but no." Harry cut in. "Sorry, I was curious. But enough chit chat. You must be wondering why I summoned you two here tonight." 

Dumbledore stood up and walked down the stairs towards some sort of round casket.  Harry and I walked around the desk and followed him. "The answer lies here." We stepped closer and the casket was filled with glass tubes. "What you are looking at are memories.  In this case, one particular individual. Voldemort. Or as he was known then, Tom Riddle." He grabbed one of the glass tubes and held it up. 

"This vile contains the memory of the day I first met him. I'd like you to see it." Harry grabbed the tube out of Dumbledore's hand and walked over to the Pensive that was hovering above the table next to the casket. Harry poured the liquid into the Pensive and we dunked our heads into the blue water.


Memory

Dumbledore stood outside an orphanage. "There has been incidents with the other children, nasty things." The caretaker said. She knocked on a door and opened it. "Tom, you have a visitor." She said. "How do you do, Tom?" Dumbledore asked while stepping into the room. There he was, Tom Riddle, but a lot younger and looking more human. 

"You're the doctor, aren't you?" Tom asked. "No, I'm a Professor." "I don't believe you. She wants me looked at. She thinks I'm different." Tom explained. "Well, perhaps they're right." Dumbledore answered. "I'm not mad." "Hogwarts isn't a place for mad people. Hogwarts is a school. A school of magic." Tom stayed silent. "You can do things, Tom. Can't you?" Dumbledore asked. "Things other children can't." Dumbledore continued. "I can make things move without touching them. I can make animals do what I want without training them. I can make bad things happen to people who are mean to me, can make them hurt, if I want. Who are you?" Tom asked. "I'm like you, Tom. I'm different." "Prove it." 

Suddenly, the closet in the room caught fire. A rattling sound came form the closet. "I think there's something in your closet that wants out, Tom." Tom stood up and opened the closet. Inside was a metal box, rattling. He picked it up and the closet slammed shut. He opened the box and there were a few items inside. 

"Thievery is not tolerated at Hogwarts, Tom. At Hogwarts you will not only be told how to use magic, but how to control it. You understand me?" Tom just gave him a blank stare. Dumbledore turned around and walked out, but before he could leave, Tom spoke up. 

"I can speak to snakes too. They find me, whisper things. Is that normal for someone like me?" Dumbledore turned around and looked at him. Then everything disappeared into black smoke. 

Then I pulled back


"Did you know, sir, back then?" Harry asked. "Did I know I just met the most dangerous Dark Wizard of all times? No, if I had I......" Dumbledore trailed off. "Over time, here at Hogwarts, Tom grew close to one particular teacher. Can you guess who that teacher might be?" "Slughorn." I whispered. "You didn't bring Slughorn back to simply teach Potions, did you sir?" Harry asked. "No, I did not. You see, Professor Slughorn possesses something I desire very dearly. He will not give it up easily." Dumbledore explained. "You said Professor Slughorn was going to try to collect us?" I asked. "I did." "Do you want us to let him?" Harry asked. "Yes." He answered.

I was walking towards my own room when I heard footsteps, and they were getting closer. I quickly hid behind a pillar and waited for the person to pass. To my surprise, the person was Draco. I get curious and silently followed him. I turned the corner and watched as he just stood there, waiting for something. Then, a door appeared in the wall.

"The Room of Requirement?" I thought.

He walked through the door and I waited for him to go in. I was debating if I should go after him or not. I eventually decided to do it. I waited for a minute or 2 and stood in the place where Draco ones was. I closed my eyes and thought about Draco. I opened my eyes and there were now two heavy, wooden doors in the wall. I carefully opened the door and entered the room. 

The room wasn't the same as last year, when we held the D.A. meetings here. The room was now a lot bigger and was filled with junk. I silently made my way through the stuff, but I couldn't find my blonde boyfriend. After about a 10 minute search I gave up. I turned around and walked towards the exit, until my eyes fell onto something. 

It was a book with a golden binding and two purple crystals on it. I grabbed the book and opened it. I skipped thought the pages and came to the conclusion that it was a spell book. I read the spells and the effects from the spells were probably illegal. I skipped to the last page and there stood one thing on the last page, in the top right corner.

"Property of Merlin." Was written in black ink.

My eyes widened. I closed the book and pushed it into my robe. I ran out of the room and towards the Room of the Hogwarts Founders. 


Draco POV

I was working on the Vanishing Cabinet when I heard the doors open. I peeked over the mountains of junk and saw the wigging body's of the snakes that were attached to the head of the one I love. "What's she doing here?" I asked myself. She walked further into the room and kept looking around. "She probably knows I'm here." I thought. No matter how badly I wanted to go to her, I couldn't. I thought back to what Snape had told me. It is better if she doesn't find me. So I walked away from the cabinet.

After 10 minutes of me walking and her searching, she gave up. I could see her walk towards the exit, until she stopped. She walked closer to my hiding spot and I held my breath, hoping she wouldn't hear me. She stopped a few meters away and I could clearly see her. 

The snakes that were attached to her head framed her face perfectly and you could really see the sparkle in her (E/C) eyes when there isn't much light. Her posture was perfect and the way she was leaning onto her left leg a bit, which caused her right hip to go up a bit was really sexy. 

Her expression suddenly went from a frown to shock when she was reading the book that she was holding. She slammed the book shut, putted into her robe and hurried out of the room.
