Tom wasn't very happy, he didn't like secrets being kept from him, and now Harry said he'd lied to him. He was growing deep feelings for the other boy, feelings he didn't even know he could have, and Harry was the only thing in his life that he felt was real. “Come clean? What you know about me?” he could feel his anger boiling, but he was trying to stay calm and give Harry a chance to explain himself.
“I..” Harry let out a breath. “Before I begin, I want you to know that you are not what I thought you were.” he watched Tom's expression, not seeing a change in it. “I am a half blood, my mother was Muggleborn and my father was a Wizard, I never knew them because they were killed by a dark Wizard when I was one and left this scar on my head.” Harry stood up and started to pace. “I have never been in a orphanage, I was raised by my Muggle aunt and uncle, they weren't nice people, their son bullied me constantly...”
“You were afraid of letting me know your mother was Muggleborn and that you were raised in an abusive home? What did you think I would find you weak?” Tom pressed his lips into a thin line, his father was a Muggle and Harry's mother being a Witch, even a Mudblood one, made Harry more magical than him; at least in his mind. He also wasn't so sure about his feelings toward Mudbloods after listening to their life stories.
Harry shook his head and put a hand to his face. “No...I have more you need to know.” he turned to face Tom. “I got my Hogwarts letter when I was eleven, I was really excited to finally get away from my family.” Tom looked really confused at this information. “My 1st year the dark Wizard who killed my parents and tried to kill me, was possessing the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, and tried to kill me again. I was able to stop his plans and it was the first time I learned that I was looked at as the savior of the Wizarding world, that I was the boy who lived, and that they were going to expect many things from me.”
“When exactly did all this happen...I don't remember you being here or any dark Wizard possessing anyone.” Tom's fingers twitched and he placed them on his lap.
“....In my 2^nd year, Muggleborn's were being petrified by something....” Harry switched into Parseltongue as he went on. “I stopped a snake from attacking another student by talking to it.” he watched Tom's already pale skin get paler and his eyes widen. “I was instantly a suspect for what was going on, I could hear whispering in the walls, just as I do every so often now.” he went back to speaking normally. “It turned out a diary had been given to my friends sister and she opened the Chamber of Secrets.” at this Tom stood up from the bed quickly.
“You know Parseltongue and about the Chamber of Secrets...” Tom grabbed onto Harry's arm roughly.
Flinching, Harry continued. “I was only twelve and once again I ended up getting caught up having to save the school again. I thought I had made a friend with the boy who had possessed the diary, I thought that he was a good guy, and it turned out he was the same dark Wizard who had killed my parents, and he was trying to kill my friend's sister.” he looked into his eyes. “He was heir of Slytherin, he was hansom, but completely mad.....he was you.”
Tom shoved Harry away. “I don't want to hear any more of this madness!”
“I'm from the future Tom, I ended up here by accident, and there is no way for me to return home.” Harry grabbed Tom's sleeve. “I thought you'd be evil, like the boy I met from the diary, I wanted you to be a monster, I wanted to see you that way so I could stop you from rising to power.” he looked at the floor. “But, the more I spent time with you, the more I got to know you, and the more I've learned about what has really been going on. I found myself confused, Dumbledore is not the man I thought he was, the more I think about how that man was in my time, how he was supposed to be a great Wizard, and he wasn't able to stop dark Wizards from coming into the school that wanted to kill me? How could he not know something was wrong with someone he was suppose to be friends with? I was used, I was put through danger to prepare me to fight you if you were to ever return.”
Tom tried to process everything Harry had just said, he'd frozen up when Harry said he was from the future, and had listened very carefully to everything he said after that. Was Harry insane? If he was telling the truth that meant that Harry had intended to kill him or at least ruin his plans and have him sent to Azkaban. When Harry mentioned all the times he tried to kill him, he wondered what would have made him want to kill a child so badly from such an early age. The subject of Dumbledore allowing Harry to be put in danger, even from him, due to their current relationship, was what put him in a rage above all his other thoughts.
“You can't return to your time right?” Tom's voice was cold and unfeeling, bottling his anger up, and keeping a straight face.
Harry nodded cautiously, looking into Tom's eyes. “Yea...though I am not really sure I want to go back to my time. Seeing how Dumbledore is in this time period..seeing how he was treating me before I came here and thinking about all the things that don't make sense...” he leaned into Tom, putting his face into his shoulder. “The Ministry tried to expel me from Hogwarts for turning my Muggle uncle's sister into a balloon woman when I was thirteen, she had insulted my family and I was just so angry, I didn't know what I was doing. Then before I came here, they were going to expel me for protecting my arse of a Muggle cousin, he couldn't see the Dementors, I couldn't just let him get the kiss in front of me....then he pointed at me, that I had been the one to put him into the state he was in. I was going to my trial to get me to go back to Hogwarts and it didn't look good, I heard some voices and followed them to this room, and found myself in the Ministry in this time period.”
Tom asked Harry to elaborate on his four years at Hogwarts, more detail about his Muggle relatives, and how Dumbledore was like in the future. Tom still wasn't completely sure if Harry was nuts at first, but as they sat on the bed, and he listened to Harry tell him about his early years with the Dursleys and his near death experiences at Hogwarts. As Harry recalled his time at Hogwarts, Tom would notice he'd have trouble with remembering much about some events, and by the end of Harry telling him about Cedric and his future self; Tom did believe that Harry was from the future.
There was a piece of Tom that did want to pin Harry down and strangle him, another part was telling him he could use Harry to his advantage as he knew the future and some of his mistakes he'd make. The part of his train of thought that was winning was that he didn't want to hurt Harry, he cared for Harry, he wanted to kill Dumbledore for putting Harry in danger, and he also wished that Harry's aunt and uncle were born so he could kill them as well; after a bit of torture.
With a groan, Tom fell back on the bed. “I think you should leave, I need to think, and I don't want you being here influencing my mind.” he couldn't properly digest what he'd been told with his boyfriend in the room, he found Harry attractive, and his mind would waver every time he looked into his emerald eyes.
“I've been here longer than I should be anyway, Dumbledore might be waiting outside..” While Harry didn't know for sure it was Dumbledore, he still thought it was from his first year. “Please believe me, I am on your side, if I wasn't I wouldn't have told you any of this....I would really like for you to reconsider your feelings on Muggleborns after everything we have learned about them.” Harry didn't tell him to reconsider his feelings about Muggles though, he use to think that some were decent, and he knew there were a few that were. In his experience with the Dursleys and from what he learned about the current time period's Muggles, he thought those Muggles should be punished, and it scared him to think like that.
Harry left the room, he also had a lot to think about, he'd broken his word to the Minister, and he'd confessed everything to Tom. He also had to try and think about the events that were blurred in his mind, it was really bothering him. In the common room it was empty, he'd been in Tom's room for so long that the others that had stayed were in bed. There wasn't the feeling of someone watching him or trying to catch him off guard to read his mind, so he headed to the 5^th year boys room, changed, and climbed into bed.
Flashes of fragmented memories went through Harry's mind as he slept, Dumbledore standing in front of him while he was in his office, standing beside an older Tom as he sitting on a couch and talking to a woman, an argument with Dumbledore with Professor Snape watching with a grim face, and a weak voice telling him “Let me in, I can protect you, I can make you stronger, I can give you all the memories you lost.” It only took a moment, then there was darkness.
