Tom sighed in the living room of the shared champers of Severus, the man was putting the twins to bed after their bath while Tom waited for him to join him for the nightly talk... well Severus mostly complained about dunderheads in the stupid DADA class and how he missed his potions but it was a class that he wanted to teach right from the start but the Dumbles got involved and asked him to be potions master.

He was snapped out of it when Severus sat down and leaned into him "sickle for your thoughts?"

"Is that all they are worth?" kissed his forehead "they down?"

"Yes and it seems that Azrael wanted another bottle but he didn't take it and found out he just wanted to be held more Calista went down perfectly like normal, they are so different but they look the same at the moment I'll be glad when they are older I will be able to tell them apart, i almost put Azzie into the flowerly onesie, I love them too much" and he rested his head on Tom's shoulder.

Tom just sighed and let him normally he wouldn't let Severus do that but this had been bothering him all day long and it was Harry had kept asking about his past... he didn't want the boy to know but he was now old enough he hopefully could handle it.... he hoped.

"Tom what's the matter?" said Severus as he got up.

"Nothing, nothing love don't worry" little did Tom forget was that Severus was still rather hormonal still two months on and was slapped.

"Don't you dare lie to me Thomas Marvolo Riddle! I know something is wrong with you and if you don't tell me don't think about coming to be for a while, better yet the chambers that we live in you can stay in the Headmasters room for now" his magic had come back with a vengeance at that moment and pushed him out of the chambers that they shared.

Tom banged on the door and tried to get in.

"Damn it Severus Tobias Snape let me in this room right now!" he banged again only to be shocked.

"DAMN IT".

"Papa did you piss of dad again?"

"I didn't mean to I was trying to work out how to bring the subject up about you wanting to know about my past but he didn't let me tell him until he locked me out of our rooms".

"Ah well have fun trying to talk to him you know how he's like" walks into the rooms as Tom tried to enter he was thrown back out.

"Severus I know you heard what we were talking about so let me the fuck in!" he got hexed by Severus.

And so Tom spent the night in the Headmaster's rooms upset and when he tried to talk to Severus at breakfast the following morning but he was ignored Severus had given his classes for that day study periods he was going to spend the day with the twins and he didn't care what Tom thought.

"Tom you're in the doghouse it seems" said Poppy to him as she poured him a cup of strong coffee which he drank in one go burning his mouth but he didn't care he knew Harry had a free period this morning and so he would show him the time where Dumbles introduced himself to him. 

He got up from his seat ignoring Severus gave the twins a kiss on their heads making their blue eyes sparkle and headed over to Harry at the Slytherin table.

"Son can you join me in my office there is something you need to see" he gave him a sad smile.

"Sure dad I don't have Divination... she keeps predicting my death and so I don't know why i keep going there and I can't really swoop now can I?"

"Sadly you can't if it was 4th year then yes but as a 6th year no you wouldn't be able to keep up even if you are doing the other lessons after class you aren't switching now mister" he smiled "come Harry you need to see this".

"First time since you called me by my old name Tom".

"The cheek of my oldest" lightly hits the back of his head knowing if he didn't show his movements it would result in a panic attack, but this time it didn't and he just got a smile.

..........

Inside Tom's office was sitting a personal Pensieve, it had been carved snakes over it which meant it came from the Slytherin line and Harry's by birth right after Tom.

"Harry what I am about to show you is what you want to know... it shows the day that Dumbles showed up at the Orphanage that I grew up in after my mother died giving birth to me in the very door steps" he sighed.

"All you have to do is place your head in and you will be able to see my memory as it is already in there, are you sure son you want to learn about this it's not pretty I'll admit to you know" he sighed again he really didn't want to show him.

"Yes I want to know what he did to you and papa and this is the only way I will be able to know, you know that" and so he place his head in and was soon surrounded by something that looked like a black inky substance and once it was finished he could see the memory.

Memory begins:

Dumbles was walking up a path in the ran dressed in a five piece suit in the rain heading towards what looked like an old building of sorts and when he stood outside of the gate it said 'Wool's Orphanage' which was in London.

He was introduced to the matron Mrs Cole and she soon took him up the stairs and told Dumbles that they had to move Tom to the top floor as it wasn't working out with the other boys as strange things happened to them when Tom was around.

"I admit to some confusion as to recieving your letter Mr. Dumbledore as in all the time that Tom was here he has never had a family visitor. There have been incidents with the other children, nasty things" said Mrs Cole.

She knocked on his door "Tom you have a visitor" and let Dumbles into the room and she soon left them heading back downstairs far away from Tom  as could be for the time being.

"How'd you do Tom" said Dumbles as he walked in, Tom stared at him for a bit.

Tom turned to face out of the window and all he said was 'don't' around the room was some seven rocks, a book of some sort perhaps a diary and a post card of the beach they had gone to that summer.

 Dumbles sat on Tom's bed while Tom sat at his desk in his small room facing the man, he wasn't sure of the man in front of him, the man was a stranger but claiming to be a relative it was more than strange to the young boy of 11.

"You're the doctor aren't you?"

"No I am a professor"

"I don't believe you, she want's me looked at they think I'm... different"

"Perhaps they're right"

"I'm not mad"

"Hogwarts isn't a place for mad people, Hogwarts is a school, a school of magic" a staring contest ensued between them, Tom didn't believe him one bit. 

"You can do things can you Tom, things other children can't do"

"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... I can make them hurt... come on who are you" he had had enough of going around the houses he wanted to know.

"I am like you Tom, I'm different"

"Prove it" he said with a sneer.

Again they looked at each other Dumbles sighing and soon Tom's wardrobe was on fire Tom didn't looked as shocked as Dumbles wanted him to be he looked almost pleased with it all.

"I think there is something in your wardrobe trying to get out Tom"

Tom went and opened the fire ridden wardrobe only to find everything inside wasn't touched by the flames he looked back at Dumbles who was now standing in front of the desk that Tom had been sat by, Tom was holding a box and the fire went out.

Tom brought the box to his bed and opened it to reveal a harmonica and a yo-yo.

"Thievery isn't tolerated at Hogwarts Tom", Tom just glared at the man in front of him.

"At Hogwarts you will be taught not how to use magic but how to control it you understand me?"

Tom again stared at the man as he left his room.

"I can speak to sakes too, they find me, whispers to me... is that normal? for someone like me?" this made Dumbles stop and turn to him.

The memory ended without knowing Dumbles reply.

Harry was back in the office looking at his father wondering what was said after Dumbles had left.

"Don't worry about the answer as it wasn't given he just nodded and left and I didn't really see the man until later on when I started Hogwarts, you could tell just from that... that he was worried about me speaking Parseltongue and no matter how many times I asked him he never said... I later learnt that it was passed to me through my mother and her family could speak it as we are direct line to Salazar Slytherin".

"Oh ok then I still don't trust that man"

"Neither do I son, neither do I, lets get you back class and lets see if I can get back into my own rooms"
