Ministry Of Magic: Tom Riddle's Trial II

~3rd person POV~

"I, Ninathell Joan Mary, hereby sentence, Tom Marvolo Riddle to be escorted to Diagon alley where the people are given permission to do whatever they want with him, excluding killing him. Finally, he will have his magical core bound, wand snapped, and then live the rest of is life in Azkaban"

~Tom Riddle POV~

"what will happen to my mate? he's probably better off without me, besides who wants a person like me?" I think.

I don't even notice the guard hitting me across the face, my face bleeding from the scratches, or to the point that Valence was beginning to strangle me in front of the courtroom, and nobody did anything.

~Harry Potter POV~

I don't even know what was happening. My wand was drawn and I was angry before Draco had a chance to calm me down I stood up with a strong stance.

"HOW DARE YOU HURT MY MATE?" I yelled, making sure I was heard properly. The entire courtroom turned to look at me

"We aren't hurting anyone, especially not your mate." Valence replied

"YES YOU ARE, MY MATE IS THE ONE YOUR STRANGLING VALENCE, LET GO. NOW" I yelled

The courtroom looked confused but valence did stop strangling Tom.

~Tom Riddle POV~

Oh god, my mate is Harry. I suddenly feel a wave of guilt crashing into me, the boy who I tried to kill stood in my defense. I felt like I was going to break down, but I hid it.

~Harry potter POV~

The entire courtroom continued to stare at me, trying to wrap their head around what had just happened. Then the judge spoke: "Given the circumstances, I can not finalize the punishment, however, if his mate rejects him then I can." The entire courtroom turned to look at me, hoping me to reject my own mate. so I did the unexpected.

I walk down to where he was sitting. I sit down on my knee and with a few words, his chains disappeared,  and he was completely healed. I didn't dare to look at him during the process. He looked at me with confusion. I stood up and looked him the eyes, studying him.

"Tom Marvolo Riddle, do you take me, Harry Potter, as your mate? I'd be honored to have you as my mate"

~Tom Riddle POV~

He properly asked me to be his mate. I couldn't believe it. I lean forward and ask him

" why would you want me as a mate? You can survive without one."

He struggled to reply, stuttering. He must have felt scared of me, memories flooding me of the time when I tortured him during his fourth year, possessing him which caused him immense pain. My eyes filled with tears and my breath was shaky.

~Harry Potter POV~

I saw his eyes filling with tears I didn't know what to say, the entire courtroom was silent like the night.

"Its because you deserve a second chance, it doesn't matter what you've done, a submissive left without his mate goes slightly crazy, only thinking clearly after they're loved...so what do you think?"

"Yes, I gladly take you as my mate"

I took his hand and looked back at the trio, Draco nodded, I took it as a sign and apparated to 12 Grimmauld place.

I felt uncomfortable holding his hand so I pull away.

~Tom Riddle POV~

Harry pulled his hand away, I felt ashamed of what I had done to him. I reluctantly followed him upstairs to his room, he handed me a towel and clothes, silk black pajamas. Harry turned to leave but I called out to him.

~Harry Potter POV~

"Harry" Tom called out

I turned around and looked him in the eyes, one hand on the doorknob. I broke eye contact and looked down.

"I'm sorry, truly sorry for everything I've done." I hear him say with guilt in his voice.

I swallow back my fear

"Yeah" I reply back, my voice shaking

I hastily close the door behind me, not caring how loud the noise was. I hurry downstairs to the dining hall, sitting down I think about what I had just done.

~Tom Riddle POV~

Harry quickly leaves the room, slamming the door behind him, I could hear his footsteps receding with speed. I felt guilt crushing me. I quickly get into the shower, change into the pajamas he gave me and sit down onto his bed.

I was choking back tears as I remembered that I was the cause of all this. I lay down in his bed and start crying. 

~Harry Potter POV~

I walk into our room when I see Tom shaking and crying. My eyes widened at the scene, I could hear him say all sorts of things about himself: "no one can ever love me, I don't deserve this" I did what I thought was right. I took of my boots and trench and put them on the chair. I slowly slip under the blanket and hold him close to me, comforting him.

"I-I'm really sorry Harry f-for everything I did, please forgive me." I heard him beg. 

"Its ok Tom, everyone makes mistakes, everything you did was because you hadn't found me yet," I reply back

~3rd person POV~

Harry comforts Tom, his hand in Tom's hair and the other over him, holding him close to his body. Tom drifts into sleep into the safety of his mate while harry talked to death

"Death, you sure he isn't going to hurt me"

"100% positive"

Harry suddenly remembers the memory of when he received a letter from his uncle calling him out for being gay, which he ignored, of the time when he saw Hermione in a mess because Ron had dumped her for lavender. Harry felt happy when he found out that her and Fred were now dating. A smile covers his face before he also drifts into sleep.
