Harry's eyes fluttered open in the morning, his brain feeling like a massive pressure had been removed. Getting changed, he walked out into the hall, he knew Tom was probably going to avoid him after the night before. Harry had his memories back, the voice had kept its promise, he remembered fighting with Dumbledore about going back to the Dursley's after Cedric died, he begged the man to let him stay at Hogwarts, and expressed that he was safer at Hogwarts; even with the Death Eaters who had gotten into the school, it was better than dealing with his aunt and her family.
Dumbledore had treated Harry like he'd done to Tom, knowing that Hogwarts was better for them, but not letting them stay. Snape had tried to reason with Dumbledore, much to Harry's shock, but backed down when Lily was mentioned. Dumbledore manipulated Harry's mind to make him forget he asked to stay or Snape being sympathetic toward his situation, he then had Harry leave his office. Another memory he'd lost was Dumbledore grilling him about Tom's diary, asking him what Tom had shown him, the feeling of Dumbledore entering his mind and looking at all of Harry's memories of what Tom had shown him.
Twelve year old Harry reacted badly to having Dumbledore in his head, he was scared about having seen all his memories flash inside his head all over again, and he threw the diary at Dumbledore. Harry wanted to know what had happened, why his head hurt, and why he'd had those moments of feeling like someone was crawling in his mind; though the previous times Dumbledore hadn't been looking for a specific memory, so Harry had only zoned out, and had not seen them replayed. Dumbledore calmly explained to Harry about Occlumency and Legilimency, but said that Harry was to young to learn about using either.
Harry had questioned the old man about using Legilimency on him and invading his mind, yelling at him that it was an invasion of his privacy. He tried to calm down, by asking if now that it was proven to him that Tom and the Basilisk were the cause of the problems all those years ago, if Hagrid could be allowed to use magic again. He at least wanted what he went through with the diary to help Hagrid out, he hoped that with Dumbledore knowing Hagrid was innocent, he could go to the Ministry for the Half Giant.
Instead Dumbledore apologized to Harry, that it would be bad if anyone knew about him using Legilimency on students, or anything about the diary. Dumbledore wanted anything about Tom to be kept secret, he didn't want the Ministry involved, he pointed his wand at Harry, and it was the first time that he Obliviated him. After being Obliviated, Harry was holding the diary and the events happened as he originally remembered, before he ran into Mr. Malfoy.
There were other smaller memories that he'd regained, just little things where he would be asked questions about how he was feeling about Sirius Black being after him, questions about the map, which Harry didn't know Dumbledore knew about; though he should have guessed, the man did always have that annoying twinkle of knowing in his eye. He was asked if Mad-eye had discussed anything odd with him, if he had any strange quirks, to which Harry just said all of Mad-eye was weird and quirky. Those memories confirmed his guesses about Dumbledore having known it wasn't Moody the whole time, that he'd just let things happen to see how it played out, and to see how Harry was under pressure of being in the tournament.
Harry was angry, but it was more of a calming anger, he finally knew answers, and while he was slightly worried about the voice in his head, he did feel better. He no longer had any feelings of doubt about Dumbledore's plans for him, he was a tool of war, and Dumbledore somehow knew that Voldemort would return in the future. In Harry's mind Dumbledore and all the Muggles who were like the Dursley family were targets of his rage, he wasn't going to condone Tom attacking Muggleborns or innocent Muggles, he would try to keep Tom from becoming the paranoid creature he became as Voldemort.
Going out of the castle, Harry walked to the Owlery, he was going to send a letter to the Minister that he wrote up a couple of nights ago, and had been keeping in the hopes of getting a response about the Owl he'd sent before. Now, however, he took a piece of parchment and wrote a new letter to the Minister. He expressed that he took the Ministers silence on the subject of Tom and himself staying at the school as a rejection of the idea, that it was alright, that he'd changed his mind about staying in the school, and that he didn't want any other special treatment from the man.
The Ministry had given Harry Wizarding and Muggle money, he didn't have a bank account with Gringotts, but he was given an enchanted cloth coin pouch for his money. The Minister had told Harry he would find him a place to stay, that the Ministry would pay for an apartment for him, and he wrote in the note that they didn't need to do anything like that for him, that he would figure something out. Without signing the letter, he sent the Owl off, and turned back to the castle to find Tom, with hopes the other teen would want to see him.
Walking through the snow, back into the castle, Harry walked down the hall. If he was being followed, he didn't care to notice, his mind was on other things, and he needed to talk to Tom about his new resolve. He checked the Great Hall, then the Library, but Tom wasn't there, and he couldn't go to the Chamber with the possibility of someone seeing him; he was going to have to wait for Tom outside his room. Harry wasn't going to spend all day in front of Tom's door, he went to the Great Hall again to have a meal before he did.
As Harry was heading back to the Slytherin common room, he heard the Basilisk whispering in the walls, his eyes widening as he listened to what it was saying. “Strike him down. Get rid of the enemy. The old man is near. Must wait til the right time.” Tom had set the Basilisk on either Headmaster Dippet or Dumbledore, Harry bet two Galleon on it being Dumbledore, and he smiled to himself. He just hoped the Basilisk would succeed and not die, at least before he could do damage to Dumbledore; he didn't trust the Basilisk to not get side tracked and attack some of the students.
Honestly, Harry hoped that his new Owl to the Minister would make the man worried, think that Harry would go awol if his request wasn't met, and would give into them; which wasn't wrong, Harry was planning to go against the Ministry, for their lack of attention on important things. Harry wasn't a fan of the Ministry in the first place, they tried to kick him out of Hogwarts, Fudge was a moron, and they'd locked Sirius up in Azkaban without even trying to find out if he really did it. Even with them being Wizards, what proof is just a finger,there would have been some other evidence of a body if the finger managed to stay intact, and ignoring he was his father's best friend.
Did Legilimency not work on Sirius? Did they even try it? Or Veritaserum? Harry shook his head, he shouldn't be thinking about the past, well, future, with what he was now thinking of doing, none of what happened will happen. Hagrid was sneaking around again, Harry knew he was taking care of that Acromantula, he shivered at the memory of it setting its children after him and Ron, and continued down to the common room.
Once inside, he saw the Giant Squid swim by the windows, he still wasn't quite use to the common room being under the lake. Sitting in the chair with the closest view of the entrance of the common room, Harry waited, watching a couple students come and go. He let out a sigh, it was boring without many students around, at least in his time he had Ron and Hermione to keep him company.
Tom didn't return for an hour after Harry started waiting, he glanced at Harry, the green eyed boy was playing a game of solo Wizards Chess. He had thought about what Harry told him, Harry was at more risk of punishment for telling Tom what he had, even if it was a lie, and he decided to not have his pet kill him.
“Come with me.” Tom headed for his room, Harry standing and following behind him.
Closing the door behind him, Harry stood in the middle of Tom's Prefect room. “Seeing as I am still alive and you aren't pointing your wand at me, I am guessing you aren't mad?”
“I was mad, you've lied to me from the moment you met me, and you planned to kill me.” Tom turned to him, placing his satchel on his bed. “You utterly confuse me, but you are at a higher risk of danger for telling me you are from the future, than I am for things I haven't done yet. If you are from the future you would be considered dangerous by many and if you aren't you would be sent to a Wizarding mental institution. So, I am giving you the benefit of the doubt that you aren't lying about who you are now, and that you honestly do have feelings for me. It would be foolish of me to throw what we have away, you will also be very useful to me, and I do still find myself fancying you.”
Letting out a breath of relief, Harry smiled. “I'm glad you feel that way, I will be useful to you.” he walked up to him and wrapped his arms around his shoulders. “If the Minister ignores my last letter to him, I will take that as him plotting something against me, that he let me come here to figure out how best to deal with me, and if that is the case....I will need to leave Hogwarts.” Harry knew that something was different about himself, he'd grown more paranoid since coming to the past, he was giving into the thoughts that he'd tried to fight, and he was willing to fight for a new future for the Wizarding world; be it for better or worse, he couldn't let what was happening to Tom and many Muggleborn students continue.
