Hogwarts welcomed its new year with bright white light. It was 5 in the dull morning when Tom felt something moving next to him. He looked down and saw his little girl rustling in sleep. Looks like she was having another of her nightmares. Tom put his index finger on girl's temple and closed his eyes. In matter of second he found himself deep inside Harley's memories. 

Tom looked around and saw it was a big room with very large window on one side and many potion ingredients on other but it doesn't look like potion lab. More it looked like someone's bedroom. Tom walked towards the bed an saw a small frame next to bed. The frame had a lady with long black hair holding a baby with same long black hair and they both were giggling in the picture. What took Tom's attention was the color of eyes both lady and toddler shared. The color of their eyes was deep red. The red Tom have never seen before. Just when Tom was about to pick the frame up he heard screams. Screams of a lady to be precise. Tom walked towards the door and saw a bloodied body near his foot steps. 

Then he looked up and saw a man with dragger in his hand. Tom looked at the  man carefully and now he could understand why do he looks so recognizable. He have the same pale skin as his little girl. He was Lord Hergrace, father of Harley Azazel Hergrace. Tom then heard the small sniffing that might have gone unheard by Lord Hergrace. Tom did not knew what took over him he walked towards the small sniffing and reached the cabinet. Tom bent down and saw a small child. Hardly 7 years old crouching with her eyes closed and hands on her ears. The girl wore white night gown which had blood on it. The little girl had long green  hair and brown eyes. It was his little girl. His little girl who was watching her father butchering her mother Infront of her own eyes. 

Before Tom could say or do something he felt like he was pulled out from the memory. Tom opened his eyes and were met with Harley's red swollen eyes. Tom's throat went dry when he saw tint of anger in them. Tom couldn't help but pull Harley in a rough kiss. In matter of second Tom was on top of Harley. Harley's hands made its way towards Tom's back. The nails leaving it's sweet track behind on the toned back. Tom couldn't help but feel the forbidden feeling towards the girl. In matter of second Tom left Harley. The girl looked at Tom with glossy eyes. "What did you saw?" was the first thing Harley said. 

Tom couldn't even look up he was still staring at his hands in his lap. Harley stood up from her spot and sat next to tom. She put her hand on Tom's. "Just tell me ok?" Harley reassured Tom with a small smile. Tom said nothing and moved from the bed towards his wardrobe. "Get ready Harley. I don't know about you but I don't want to be late on my first day of new year"

Harley could clearly se Tom was avoiding what he saw but little did she knew Tom say her deepest darkest secret. Harley stood up and walked to her dorm room and in half an hour she was all ready for the first day of her 6th year. Harley walked downstairs to the common room to see all the boys ready and waiting for her and Tom.  When Harley entered the common room everyone greeted her with a small good morning and all she did was giving them a small nod in return. She sat  next on an arm chair near fireplace. There was another same arm chair next to her which was suppose to be Tom's. 

After few seconds Tom also walked down with his bag on his shoulder. He was wearing his uniform which was perfect and crisp. His prefect batch shining on his robe. Harley was pretty sure that in future Tom could bag Head Boy position easily. Tom sat next to Harley and gave her  small nod. Everyone stood up and waited for Tom to give any other orders. Tom just gave them a small gesture by his hand and allowed them to sit. With a small wave of wand Tom made a silencing shield around them. 

Tom looked at everyone with a serious look. "I want to tell all of my followers something evry important that my queen informed me few days before our last year finished" Harley looked at Tom with worry and doubt in her eyes. All tom did was  give her a small nod telling her that he had made his decision. "Few weeks before our finals I asked Harley to look up for gaunt family and she gave me information that Gaunt family is the last pureblood family line which is connected to Salazar Slytherin himself and my mother was one of heiress of that family and that automatically makes me" before Tom could speak anything Abraxas interrupted him with wide eyes and shocked speech "The Heir of Slytherin" Everyone looked at Tom with a new fear and respect. Harley looked at Tom and all she could see how proud Tom was of his bloodline and now The True Tom will unleash the madness
