Tap. Tap.

"…"

Tap. Tap.

"Riddle! Wake up!"

Tap. Tap.

"Wake up you ponce!

TAP! TAP!

"WAKE UP!"

"Ugh what?"

"Owl. Get it so the thing will stop tapping."

"Oh-Luna! Hi there. A letter from mum so early, this can't be good."

"Nobody cares. Go read it elsewhere."

"Alright. Alright. Come along Luna."

"Here we are Luna, the common room. Nice and warm. Here's some water and food. Eat up. Now what did you write me mother?" I hope that she wasn't too upset about the fight I had with Khristo.

My dearest baby, (Ugh mother…)

I know that you hate it when I call you that, but I cannot help myself, for that is what you are. My baby. I love you unconditionally, even if I am receiving letters from yourself and your school about trouble that you are getting into-whether you are asking for it or not.

(So sappy, she's always like this at Christmas but it seems like she's even worse now that I'm at school.)

Please, please try to stay out of trouble, Christmas holidays are almost here and you will be home soon.

(I cannot wait to be home.)

Speaking of home, there are some BIG changes that have happened in the past 24 hours. Your father-He's returned.

(Returned? How I thought that-That… Returned what?)

I don't want you to freak out. Don't go screaming through the halls and telling everyone yet, please. I'm not sure how he feels about telling everyone that he is back.

(I don't even know how I feel about it, why would I go screaming through the halls, not like anyone would listen to me.)

But he does want you to know,

(So why didn't he me?)

and he does have some rules, they're basic, I know that you can handle them. Here they are:

1. You must always be respectful. Especially to him and if he has any guests, treat them with respect as well. Always.

(I suppose that can't be too hard.)

2. Always do what you are asked, even if you don't agree.

(What..? What would he ask me to do even if I didn't agree?)

And this one is the most important one.

3. Whatever you see here at home, do not speak of it outside of our walls or with anyone else. Ever. Never do that.

(Oooook. That's weird, but whatever.)

If you can follow these three rules, then everything shall be fine. I assure you that he is not a scary man or anything just strict.

(Great just what I need. Come from here, the place where strict rules doesn't allows creativity to home where it's basically the same. What's the point of me even coming home? Well besides mum?)

You know his history, how he is so please be respectful, I want you two to get along.

(I want to as well.)

Another thing you should know, he is quite demanding of me. If what he says to me or how he acts upset you, don't say anything, write it in our journal ok, I shall write back to you-perhaps take you out somewhere and we can speak about it. I don't want for there to be any fights my love.

(Well that's reasonable, but I should be allowed to speak to my own mother about any issues I'm having.)

We shall speak more when you return home. I am so looking forward to seeing you and I cannot wait to pick you up at the train station. I'm not sure if your father will be there or not when you get off the train, but dress nicely please, just to be sure. You must always look your best.

(I always look my best.)

Now, I have already got you some of your Christmas presents. I hope you aren't too upset with me.

(Sheesh she worries, how could I not like Christmas presents? Honestly.)

I pray that you love what I have gotten you, especially your big present, I just can't wait to give it to you. Oh! Our family friends, Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy,

(Who are they)

I'm sure you'll be seeing more of them, since Lucius is quite close with your father, they've given us house elves.

(House elves… What?)

Four of them. Tinx, is the oldest from what I can gather and is in charge, then there's Ducky, Effie, who makes the most delicious food, you'll love her, and then Trixi. They're really good but it's quite weird to be called mistress all the time. But it's normal. I am not going to write your professor quite yet, perhaps you can come home early?

(That would be awesome! Home early, yes!)

I shall speak to your father about that, it might be good, I know that you have no problems with school or your exams. Please ask your professors if there is a possibility of you taking them early because you might have to come home and write me back today so I know what to say when I speak to your father. I love you very much precious and I cannot wait to see you. Love you always and forever.

Many, many hugs,

Mum

PS: I'm asking Luna to wait until you write me back, that way I get a response sooner. She can fly both ways, so do not worry about her, but do give her a little bite to eat and perhaps a drink if you can so that she has some nourishment. I cannot wait to hear back from you.

Love,

Mum

"Well Luna, how about you go sleep up in the rafters, try to stay out of the way though, I wouldn't want you to get hurt, or picked on by the others. I'm going to go speak to the headmaster."

I hope that the headmaster is there, I would love to just come home now. That'd be great.

"Do you have an appointment?"

"I-uh. No. I received a letter from my mother, I need to speak with him. Is that possible, or is he too busy?"

"I shall go and check."

"Thank you." Please. Please be there. Please.

"He is able to see you. Through these doors."

"Thank you."

"Mr. Riddle, you need to speak with me?"

"Yes sir."

"Well, go on I don't have all day."

"I received a letter from my mother this morning, asking if it were possible for me to return home early."

"Why couldn't you leave when your fellow classmates leave?"

"I-My father-He's…Um."

"Yes."

"My father came home."

"Ah… I see. And your mother would like for you to return?"

"Yes. She wants to know if there is a way for me to take my exams early, so that I may do so."

"Ah, well, let me look into this. I'll be back momentarily."

"Yes sir." Well he doesn't seem that scary. Khristo's such a liar. I hate him. I hope that I can come home early. I don't know why I even need to go to school, everything here is so easy. Especially potions and dark arts. Ugh, I hate this place. I-

"Mr. Riddle, I have contacted your teachers."

"…" And?

"They say that with your academic history this first term, you will not fail any classes if you return home early."

"Oh…"

"So if your mother wishes for you to return you may."

"Sir? Um, how bad will my grades drop if I do not take my final exams?"

"You will remain at the top of your class in potions, dark arts, muggle studies, well actually, you'll remain at the top of your class in all of your subjects because of your exemplary academic record."

"Oh… Alright. Um may I floo my mother then sir?"

"Yes, but I must be in the room when you do."

"I-I understand."

"Good. Now go on."

"Evangaline Brawn."

WHOOSH!

"Mum?"

"…"

"Mum?"

"…"

"MUUUUUUUUM!"

"What? Hello? Hello can you hear me?"

"Mum hi it's me."

"Oh hi baby, how are you?"

"I'm fine I-"

"How are you flooing me?"

"I'm in the headmasters office. Mum I-"

"WHY ARE YOU IN THE HEADMASTERS OFFICE? YOU HAD BETTER NOT BE IN TROUBLE AGAIN. IF YOU ARE SO HELP ME-"

"Evangaline, let the boy speak."

"I-Yes you're right. I'm sorry honey, go on."

"Mum who was that?"

"What was that?"

"Who was just talking to you? I heard him, in the backround."

"Oh, that-that's your father."

"Oh. Ok."

"Is everything ok?"

"Yes I uh, I can come home whenever."

"Whenever?"

"Yes mum."

"But what about your exams?"

"I've gotten perfect scores on everything in all my classes, the headmaster said that it would not affect my grades at all. I'd be the top of my class even if I didn't take my exams."

"Oh, well… That's good honey. Would you like to return home?"

"Yes! Can you come get me?"

"I-Well…"

"Mum, you could floo, I'm sure that'll work."

"You're right. Ask the headmaster if that would be alright with him."

"Ok. Just a sec."

"Alright dear."

"Sir? My mum is wondering if she can floo through to get me."

"Sure. Sure. Now hurry up, I have a busy schedule."

"Mum, are you there?"

"Yes dear."

"He said sure."

"Alright. You go pack I'll be there in 15 minutes."

"Yes mum. I'll see you soon."

"Yes you will precious. Inform your headmaster. Bye love."

"Bye."

WHOOSH!

"Sir, my mum said she'll be here in 15 minutes. I'm going to go pack now."

"Yes. Goodbye."

"Thank you sir."

"…"

Yes I'm free. Home early. Woohoo. Even if that means strict dad. Dad… Wow. I've never been able to say that but I can now. I suppose a strict dad is better than no dad. Yippie!

"Tom. Did you hear that? He can come home. Today."

"Evangaline, I'm right here. Of course I heard. Now come lay back in bed."

"If you were right here then you would know that I am to go pick him up in 15 minutes so I cannot I apologize."

"But who is to lay with me?"

"Tom…"

"Yes…"

"Stop. Looking innocent isn't your style."

"Well someone's certainly relaxed this morning."

"Tom. My baby's coming home. This is so wonderful. You had better be nice to him. You hear me?"

"Excuse me?"

"I said-"

"I heard you, especially that tone."

"I-I… Tom, I know you've never had a father and I-"

"What? You what? What does me NOT having a father have to do with me BEING a father?"

"A lot actually."

"…"

"Tom please. It is not my intention to upset you. I only meant, please don't treat him like you do people that follow you around. Like at school."

"…"

"Tom please… Please. He's my baby."

"I gather that much since I could not in any way EVER be your baby."

"Oh Tom… You'll be a good father, just-"

"What?"

"Never mind. I have to get ready to go get him."

"Just what?"

"I-Tom you'll be upset with me. More so than you already are."

"I'm not upset. Just what?"

"Please just… Just be the father you didn't have."

"…"

"Please. If you could-Could love him the way you love me… Well perhaps not exactly, that's wrong but show him that same amount of care and tenderness, he's just a boy, eleven."

"Life is not easy."

"No it's not Tom. But this is my baby. You're his father. You. Are. I want you to be good to him. To let him be young, make mistakes I want…"

"What?"

"I have to go, it's late and I don't want to be late."

"You're flooing what do you want?"

"Ok, I uh… I want you to be a good father. I want you to not take out your work related frustrations on him-or me… I want-I just want you to be proud that you do have a son, that's brilliant, loving, happy, polite. He's a good boy. I just want you to love him and be a good father. That's all. And I want you to respect me in front of him."

"…"

"As much as possible…?"

"…"

"Tom don't give me that look."

"…"

"Stop it. I have to go. Please can I go?"

"…"

"Tom, I'm leaving."

"I did not say you could."

"No you didn't. But my son is waiting. And that comes before your order to leave."

"…"

"I'm sorry. That's the way it is, my son is now first, for the most part. I carried him, taught him, raised him, he's been my only link to the outside world, my only everything since you left me eleven years ago, you have to understand that. Have you here, will be a hard adjustment for both of us. Especially him, he's never had a father, or father figure, so it'll be hard. Promise me something?"

"No."

"Tom stop being difficult. What is one promise?"

"On promise too many."

"Tom…"

"…"

"Please?"

"What?"

"If he does something you dislike, instead of hitting him, or shaking and yelling at him, just-just send him upstairs to his room. So that you and he can both calm down and then you can talk to him about his wrong doing calmly and without making him afraid of you. I don't want either one of you to dislike the other. I want you two to have a good relationship. Please promise me that, please?"

"I cannot promise something that will most likely get broken."

"…"

"Don't look at me like that."

"You're going to be late."

"I'm flooing. Promise me please…"

"No."

"You'll at least try?"

"I…"

"Tom."

"Yes, I'll try."

"If you don't I'll know. Now I'm going to get him. If you need anything call Trinx."

"Yes. Yes. Be gone woman. All this bantering has worn me out further."

"Goodbye Tom."

"Evangaline."

WHOOSH!

"Miss Brawn?"

"Yes. Headmaster?"

"Yes. Your son is outside in the waiting room."

"Good. Thank you so much for allowing this. It is very generous for you."

"Yes well, the happiness of my students are the most important thing to me."

"Thank you. Can I-Can I go get him?"

"Of course, I'll call him in, Mr. Riddle."

"Yes?"

"You're mother has arrived, you may come in here."

"Yes sir. Mum!"

"Hi baby."

"Mum the headmaster…"

"Oh shush. You're fine."

"Can we go now?"

"Yes dear we can. Headmaster is there anything that I need to know to do before we leave?"

"No, everything is in order."

"Well then that's that. You have everything packed? Books? Clothes? Luna?"

"Yes mum. Here's Luna."

"Ah, good. Let's go. You ready?"

"Yes mum, I'll go first."

"Alright. Go on."

WHOOSH!

"Once again, thank you sir, this is really wonderful of you."

"It is no problem. Good day."

"Good day."

WHOOSH!

"Mum is this our home?"

"Yes dear it is, do you like it?"

"It's so cool."

"I'm glad you like it. Would you like to meet the house elves?"

"Yes. Are they nice?"

"Of course. Why wouldn't they be?"

"I don't know. The house elves at school aren't nice to me. Probably-"

"What?"

"Nothing mum. Can I meet them?"

"…"

"It's, ok mum, don't look at me like that. It's just that Khristo probably told them to be that way with me. It's ok really can I meet them now?"

"Yes dear and we'll talk about this Khristo issue later."

"I- Yes mother."

"Trinx. Ducky. Effie. Trixi."

POP!

"Yes mistress?"

"This is my son, Tommy. Tommy, this is Trinx, Ducky, Effie, and Trixi."

"Hi…"

"Young master."

"Alright, well that is all. Is the fruit still on the table?"

"Nos mistress, wes can puts some outs for young master."

"Thank you."

POP!

"Cool."

"Yes you would think so. Shall we go upstairs and put your stuff away?"

"Mum I can do it myself you know."

"I know, but I want to go with you. I haven't seen you in forever. Come here."

"Mum."

"You're so big now. At least half a foot."

"Mum I'm the same as I was when I left."

"No no. You're more pale, did you even go outside when you were there?"

"Of course I did mum, it's just winter."

"Hmm. Let's take everything up there."

"Ok, but I can still do it myself you know."

"Oh I know, but you'll always be my baby."

"Wow mum my room too?"

"You like it?"

"It's so cool, how did you? When?"

"Just yesterday."

"Thanks mum, this is awesome. Everything looks-Who are you?"

"Oh Tom! I-Tommy… This is-oh wow."

"Mum…"

"Honey this is-He's your father."

"Oh… Hi."

"Hello."

"Well this isn't awkward at all. Tom would you like to come in and uh…Well you can come in and-"

"No."

"Oh ok… Well-"

"Is he hungry?"

"I'm right here, you two don't have to talk as though I'm not."

"TOMMY!"

"I'm sorry mum. That was rude. I apologize. Sorry sir."

"Yes well, are you hungry?"

"Yes sir."

"Well then shall we?"

"Ok…"

"So baby, how did you like your classes?"

"Um they were-"

"Chew with your mouth closed please. You're not an animal."

"…"

"Don't look at me that way, you're not an animal."

"Mum, technically we are, but that's neither here nor there. School was so cool. I like the library the most."

"Hmm. Sound like your father."

"Angel…"

"What? Your father baby lived in the library. Was always reading he was. See you inherited more than just his good looks."

"Mum…"

"Can't a mother be proud of her boy? Tom did I tell you, he's top of his class… So far."

"Yes well that is to be expected, he doesn't exactly have idiots for parents."

"Oh Tom shush. Tommy is brilliant, far more so than I am. And I just worked hard. He got that work ethic from me. Put that together with your intelligence, we have ourselves a very promising son."

"Mum stop doing that. It's embarrassing."

"I'm sorry. I'm just proud of you."

"I know. So how come you're back?"

"Tom Marvalo Riddle!"

"What? I want to know."

"Hahahahahahaha. It's alright dear. He should be allowed to ask at least that. It doesn't matter why, only that I am here, right?"

"I-Well… No. But I guess that'll do for now."

"Good."

"That's the only answer I'm going to get isn't it?"

"Yes it is. You've finished?"

"Yes."

"It's been a very busy morning, for all of us, perhaps we can retire to take a nap and relax for a bit."

"Um…" Why would I want to take a nap? I just got home and the house looks so cool.

"Alright. Let's do that. Tommy you can explore the new house, maybe even the outside."

"K."

"If you need something just call for Tinx alright dear?"

"Yes mum. Are you going to nap to?"

"Yes. I'm going to go nap, but I'll probably end up speaking with your father."

"Ok. Did you get new books?"

"Perhaps."

"Cool. See ya."

"Tommy! Oh… He really is wonderful Tom."

"Yes… Smart. I can tell."

"I told you."

"Yes you did. Now didn't I tell you something?"

"No… I don't think so…"

"Oh no I did. Miss Riddle I am in dire need of your company in the bedroom."

"Tom-"

"Now."

"Tommy is home."

"…"

"And awake."

"It's natural for one's parents to enjoy each others company."

"Tom…"

"You do not want to spend time with me?"

"Of course I do I just don't… I don't want to have him see anything… Or-"

"Tinx."

POP!

"Yes master?"

"Please inform my son that we need to speak with him here in the hallway."

"Yes master."

POP!

"Was that necessary? You could've just yelled for him."

"…"

"You-You wanted to see me? I'm not in trouble am I? I haven't broke anything."

"No. No. You are fine. Your mother and I need to talk about some serious business. Will you be able to entertain yourself until we are done?"

"Yes."

"Good."

"Baby remember if you need something-"

"I know I know. Call upon Tinx. I know mother."

"Good. Tommy I'm very happy you're home."

"Me to mum. Me to. I'm going to play down stairs ok?"

"Alright. Just be careful. I will. See ya later."

"Come along Angel, he is fine."

"I-I know it's just that we didn't spend much time with him… What if he's upset? What if he thinks that I don't care as much about him now that you're back-What if I-"

"Stop. It's fine. He's fine. We'll be fine… Once I get you upstairs and in my bed."

"Tom… It's my bed."

"So you think, you're in for a big surprise."

"I'm sure. Can we take a nap?"

"Yes…"

"Good. Suddenly I'm very tired."

"After I'm through with you."

"Tom-"

"On the bed. Now."

"Are you ready?"

"Yes Tom."

"Good."
