In some motel near Islington
Tom Riddle stared at Helga Hufflepuff's cup lying on the floor. He didn't recognize any of those who called themselves his Death Eaters but had brought him back for some reason. He did not remember beyond that moment when he divided his soul and now he was in the future having to deal with his new state.

- So, is someone going to explain to me what I'm doing here?

- My lord, I will explain in detail.

A girl with black hair almost threw herself to his feet to kiss them but he pulled away somewhat disgusted nodding his head waiting for her explanation.

She began her explanation with the most recent events in his life, which he did not remember but nothing made sense if he thought about it.

- You say that I used the blood of that child for my return? Something must have affected the body that created my other self.

- My lord, are you feeling well? Nagini feared that the effect of this would reach your soul completely.

- I feel like always, I don't have to be questioned by a stupid Death Eater! Here I will show you. Have you brought the snake's venom?

Everyone nodded in fear of angering the teenage Voldermort and receiving punishment.

Narcissa approached the cup pouring the poison completely into it.

- Bring a muggle downstairs, we have a special drink for him.

Bellatrix smiled happily to finally have her lord back. By giving the Muggle the blood of a pureblood wizard to drink and pouring venom from the snake, her master would return after the death of the one who drank from the cup.

- You! Make an imperio on him and make him drink from the cup!

Tom pointed to Rodolphus who followed his orders without hesitation. He had brought a second dark lord back to his world.

- How good this feels.

They all smiled relieved to see their lord happy.

- Now I want you to tell me that prophecy in which a child would be my downfall.

Again Bellatrix brought her young lord up to speed, and almost regretted it in the end.

- You say we don't know the full prophecy ?!

That pissed off Tom who almost looked like he wanted to throw himself at Bellatrix as if she were to blame for all his ills.

Rodolphus intervened before losing his wife.

- Sir, your Death Eater only heard half of the prophecy. But you never seemed to care.

- Well now I do. I want that prophecy in my hands.

With a very angry dark lord they left the motel leaving a murdered Sirius Black on the ground, next to the body of a muggle. Again his lord chose Malfoy Manor as his base.

Mansion of the dark lord
Voldermort was laughing openly in front of Hermione, who was shocked to see him laugh. She believed him incapable of doing it too.

She didn't want to be the one to stop him so she waited until he stopped laughing on his own.

- You say that Nagini is going to bring the soul that I put in Helga's cup?

He finally asked when he stopped laughing.

- Yes, I don't know what makes you laugh so much.

- You wouldn't understand. I laugh at how cunning my partner is. It's partly my fault for letting her know, that's our emergency plan.

- What are you talking about?

- Twice, not once but twice I had to hide in Albania without any help. Do you think I would have no plan in case it happened again?

- So Nagini was just following your orders?

- Of course. Nagini is my partner, she would never betray me.

Hermione almost felt jealous when she saw how close he was with that snake and everything they had shared but she pushed that feeling away for later.

- And your Death Eaters? What will you do if they return your other self?

- Absorb it.

He said it like it was something he did every day but she was still restless.

- But he's you.

The girl didn't realize the obviousness she said until it came out of her mouth. She blushed a little at how stupid she must have looked.

- I mean he's the dark lord ... like you.

- Curly, do you think a younger version than me could handle me? He is me but younger, with less experience in magic and fighting.

That reassured Hermione a bit, it made sense but she still felt a nervousness run through her stomach weighing in what would happen if he didn't win.

- We better rest.

Once they finished their tea, he invited her to spend the night with him, which made her blush and turn away from him.

- I-I don't think our relationship ...

He gave another laugh and grabbed her hand leading her up the stairs to a very large room.

- This will be your room when you stay here. You can use it when you want, you are free.

- Are you giving me a room in your house?

- I like to see you here and comfortable, so I do not see anything bad.

So Voldermort left her alone in the room and he went to his own room. They both slept that night knowing that one was close to the other.

Neither noticed the snake's absence.

Malfoy Manor
Young Voldermort drank from his wine glass staring at the snake that had presented herself at the mansion. According his followers Nagini was much more to him so he was curious about her.

- My master, I knew I would see you again.

The serpent spoke to him in Parseltongue and he responded kindly.

- Nagini, as you will notice I am not the master you knew. I don't know you either and I need you to show that you are faithful to me.

She approached him with the intention of climbing on his shoulders as she always did but he stopped her with a wave of his hand.

- Will you understand that not just any snake can be my partner?

- As you wish sir. I will show you that I am more than that to you. What do you need me to do?

He grinned as he sipped his glass.

- I want you to filter into the ministry to find the prophecy that unites me with that boy.

Nagini did not hesitate to leave the place ready to get that prophecy that her master needed.
