CEP's POV

When Harry finally got the dreaded homework back, he looked at his grade in dismay.

O

Sure, he used to have good grades in DADA back in the future, but they were EEs, never Os unless it were practical classes...

He sighed and picked an empty parchment. He had to at the very least thank the older either he liked or not. Even if he wouldn't apologise...

LV's POV

Voldemort looked up from his men, as they were about to leave on their outing to free Creatures from Ministry's facilities, to find an owl with a simple scroll tied to its leg. The Wizards and Witches stayed smartly quiet and walked away to give him the space. Voldemort untied the scroll, to realize it were two scrolls instead of just one. He opened one that had the revised version of Evie's homework with a purple ink on the top where the Professor had written O for Outstanding. Voldemort hummed approvingly and looked at the other scroll to find a thank you letter.

It wasn't an apology for the angry letter, but it was a start. He'd send him a reply when he would arrive from the raid.

Voldemort pocketed the scrolls and the owl flew away.

CEP's POV

Harry was finishing his homework bored – he was repeating his first-year after all – when the common room's entry wall opened. All the Slytherins looked at who was entering, to find Professor Slughorn alongside 'Tom Riddle'. Harry's eyes narrowed, wondering what the other was doing in the school.

"As you can see, Tom, things haven't changed much since you were a student." Professor Slughorn offered proudly.

Tom looked around the common room as he hummed. His eyes passed by Harry briefly before they continued on.

"I can see that, Professor. You cannot blame me for wondering, after all. Since I've graduated and Professor Merrythought has resigned that the former Headmaster hadn't managed to keep a Defence Against Dark Arts Professor half-decent for more than a year. Actually, I got a letter from a child of one of my former housemates that showed first-years doing third-year homework. Obviously, I immediately owled back a list of several books that can be found in the School Library to help because the first-year's book wouldn't help." Voldemort offered pointedly.
