Saving You

Chapter 7

Harrison's POV
"What happened in your fifth year?" Marvolo asked.

"Fudge sent his under secretary as the DADA professor. She was more hated than your future self, and that should tell you something.

She made so many rules and appointed herself as High Inqusitor of Hogwarts. She tortured students who went against her with a blood quill. She made them write what hse thought they had to learn until the words showed on our hands. She never took any practical lessons. All of them were theoretical.

So, my friend and I made a secret club and trained in DADA. I was forced to teach them.

From the incident in the graveyard, I could see visions. I could save Arthur Weasley because of them. Your future self understood that we were somehow connected through the mind and sent me a vision that Sirius was being by him the DOM. My friend I went to the ministry to save him and realised that it was fake.

Sirius came to protect me and was killed, as he was thrown into the Veil. Then, your future self controlled me and fought Dumbledore and then came himself to fight." I said.

"I'm sorry. It must have been painful to lose your only hope in the magical world." Marvolo said. 

"You still haven't done it, and I know you won't. There is nothing for you to apologize for." I said. 

"Please tell me they didn't send you back to those muggles." Marvolo asked. 

I gave him a sad smile as I shook my head. "That is too much optimism. They left me with my relatives after explaining that Sirius died. I had been using him as cover so that they wouldn't hurt me too bad." I said.

"Those bastards. What did your relatives do?" Marvolo asked. Concern was apparent on his face.

"They made my life a living a hell. I was treated even worse than before. They beat the life out of me imagining they could get the magic out of me. I could've died, but my magic worked, and I healed." I said.

"What about your sixth and seventh years?" Marvolo asked.

"I knew something was happening. Draco Malfoy was given the mark. He was tasked to kill Dumbledore. He finally succeeded at the end of the year. But before that, Dumbledore explained about your life. If I didn't have any potions in my system, I would've understood why you wanted to hide the magical society from the muggles. But because of the potions, I couldn't. We went to get the Slytherin locket you put in a cave, but it was taken by Regulus Black, Sirius's brother. When Dumbledore was disarmed by Draco Malfoy, he became the owner of the Elder Wand. Snape killed Albus, but the one who defeated the man was Malfoy.

So me and my friends, Granger and Weasley and I went to collect all the horcruxes. We were caught and brought to the Malfoy manor where your future self stayed, but Draco saved us. We had reached Hogwarts. Severus was made Headmaster. Minerva fought him, and he escaped with the Carrow Twins. 

The Death Eater and your future self had reached Hogwarts. So we prepared to fight. We destroyed the Diadem that was in Hogwarts. Then, your future self took Hagrid and sent a message to all of the people in Hogwarts that if they would give me up, you would leave them alive. Before that, your future self killed Severus, thinking that since Severus killed Albus, if he killed Severus, the wand would obey him. Severus, on his dying breath, gave me a memory, which expalined I was your living horcrux. So when you asked for me, I walked to my death." I said.

"So after that, you came here?" Marvolo asked.

I shook my head. "No. When your future self cast the killing curse at me, the horcrux in me was destroyed. When we reached Hogwarts, We fought again. Neville had killed Nagini, your last Horcrux, so it was just you and me. When we were fighting, you tried to kill me again. If the Elder wand obeyed you, you could've won, but the wand obeyed me because I disarmed Draco in the Malfoy Manor and took his wand. So the curse rebounded and killed you." I said.

"Then, why did you come here?" Marvolo asked.

"My soul mate was dead. Lord Death didn't want the human who was the master of death dead, so he sent me back so that I could make this world a better place for the coming generations. A world without war destroying so many lives. We are proof that it destroys lives." I said.

Marvolo nodded. "What do you want to do now?" He asked.

"I was tasked to become a professor in Hogwarts in the next two years. I was also asked to change the laws. There are a lot of them that do more harm than good. We need to remove the creature laws, too." I said.

"Do you have your inheritence test?" Marvolo asked.

I nodded as I gave him the parchment.

"I could be made your magical guardian. We both can go to Wizengamot. We both lived the same kind of lives, and after your story, I feel some connection to you. I might be as old as your father. So I could also be made your godfather. So if they want to ask you something, and all those marriage proposals that would come once you enter the Wizengamot, I could reject them all for you, saying that you have someone fated for you." Marvolo said.

"Maybe you could adopt me. That would also explain the parseltongue and parselmagic. If anyone asks, I could say I got it from the blood adoption when I was young." I said. The idea was good. What I needed was a new identity for him.

"Let's go to the bank. I think I know a way to relate you and me. I would not need to adopt you, but if you want, I will." Marvolo said as he gave me the inheritence test back.

We both apparated to Diagon Alley and walked to the bank. Armhowl took us to Ragnorok. 

"You vow that you would not go back to being Voldemort?" Ragnorok asked.

Marvolo nodded.

"What do you want to do now?" Ragnorok asked.

"I would like a new identity. Can you give me the Slytherin and Peverell family books?" Marvolo asked.

The Peverell line did marry into the Slytherin line. That was how he got the ring with the ressurection stone reached Voldemort's hands.

Ragnorok summoned the Peverell and Slytherin family books and gave it to him. Marvolo read the family trees for some time and said, "We could make it look like your mother, Marrianne Isabella Peverell nee Lenoir, was my half-sister. My name could be Mathew Samuel Lenoir-Parker, the one who is named your godfather. One of the Slytherins did marry into the Lenoir line. That could explain your and my Slytherin skills. We could say that your mother was ten years older than me. When her mother died, my father married Leonardo Parker. So, I have the name Mathew Samuel Lenoir-Parker." 

That made more sense. 

All of a sudden, Lord Death appeared with a woman beside him. "This is why I liked you, Tom Marvolo Riddle. You knew what I wanted, but you fell for the old man's tricks and lost your purpose in the world." She said.

"Harrison, meet Lady Magic. She was listening to Marvolo explain his connection to you. We wanted to know if he understood who he was to be for you, and he did." Lord Death said.
