The numbness from the ice spread through his body until he could no longer move. He tried to reach for his wand, but he couldn’t even find his hands. So this was the way he would die, in darkness and cold. It seemed oddly fitting for the way he’d lived his life, but he brain wouldn’t give up completely. He wouldn’t go to the afterlife without a fight.
Tom kicked and beat his numb limbs. He tried to get them to move him up towards the surface, but he couldn’t even figure out which way that was. Suddenly the darkness was pulling him down faster and faster and then there was only the blackness of death.
When he started to feel again it was like his body was on fire. He screamed in pain as every nerve betrayed him. He could hear soothing words, but they were very far away. They tormented him and he realized he had to be in hell. He sneered at the idea, at least he could form a plan if hell was real. He would be ruling it soon enough.
Time passed and the pain ebbed away. Cool gentle hands toweled the sweat from his brow. When he looked up into the angel's face he frowned at the familiar curve of her lips. Why was his pet here in hell with him, had she fallen into the ice as well?
“You’re awake.” She said calmly cupping his cheek with cool hands and driving away the heat that lingered there. “You have a bad fever, and I was afraid to go to the nurse.” She told him softly.
“I’m alive?” he asked with a sore throat. He must have been screaming loudly through the painful dreams.
Hermione grimaced but nodded. “When you fell through the ice I couldn’t…”
“You saved me?” Tom asked looking up into her face with new curiosity. “And you haven’t told anyone about the Basilisk?” He added looking around to find himself in his own dorm.
“I had time to think as I hovered you back to the castle.” She told him a firm frown in place that meant she was determined. “You owe me a Wizard’s Debt now.” She told him straightening her back. “And if you don’t honor it I will go to the Headmaster.”
“What do you want?” Tom asked blinking.
“To be your conscious, like you promised. I’ll require an Unbreakable Vow that you’ll listen to me when it comes to matters of morality.”
“Why? Why not just turn me in, or let me die in the lake?” He asked sounding very confused, even to his own ears.
“You have a beautifully brilliant mind Tom Riddle, and I don’t think there’s another man on earth that could keep up with me.” She told him thoughtfully.
He looked up into her eyes for a moment and nodded. “I agree to your terms, but I’ll have terms of my own if this is going to work out.”
“You’re still not completely well and you already have terms?” She asked somewhat amused.
“Oh I have many terms to this future you’re describing. But the first, the only one I care about now is that you swear to always be honest with me.” He said searching her eyes. “I’ll even go as far as exchanging that Vow with you as well.”
She looked at him for a long time before she nodded. “That is fair.” She had to admit. “We need a third to seal the vows, but that can wait until you’re better.”
“How long have I been fevered?” He asked sitting up slowly. His stomach growled and it felt like days since he’d eaten.
“Three days… Happy Christmas.” Hermione said with a bit of a chuckle.
“I’m starving.” He stated ignoring the merry smirk she gave him.
“I’ll go get you some broth from the kitchen. You try and rest, you almost died.” She reminded him before leaving his room.
It was the day the rest of the students returned from the Holiday and Tom had a few of his most loyal gathered in the common room he shared with Hermione. Once they were settled he looked over his followers and spoke.
“I’m sure you all are wondering what happened over the holiday. What are the rumors among the students?”
“They say that oafish fool somehow let a monster into the school. He’s been expelled from school, his wand was broken. It’s ridiculous to have given a wand to that half-breed from the start. Worst than mudbloods.” Abraxas said with a shake of his head, then the blond smiled. “They also say you’ll be getting a commendation for service to the school for stopping him my Lord.” he reported sounding pleased to do so.
“Very good.” Tom smiled and leaned back in thought. “She won’t be able to stop it now and it’s not like she can judge me for past deeds.” He muttered to himself.
“Who my Lord?” A younger Slytherin asked. The rest shot him a warning look.
“You all may go. Abraxas stay, I have need of your service.” He said waving the rest away. The young Malfoy looked pleased with himself, and shot the rest a smug expression.
“This information is not to leave this room until I deem it needful. Do you understand?” Tom said in a cold firm voice.
“Yes my Lord. I am honored by your trust.” Abraxus answered with a bowed head.
“I need you to seal two Unbreakables Vows between myself and Hermione Granger.” He said plainly.
“What? Why would you take an Unbreakable Vow with a nosey mudblood like her?” Abraxas asked in disgust.
“Are you questioning me?” Tom asked in the still tone that made those who knew him shake.
“N-no, my Lord.” The man stuttered.
“Good, because you’re going to have to get used to her. She’s a useful tool that I will not toss away.” He said sitting back in his chair.
“Yes my Lord.” The Malfoy said bowing his head before getting to his feet. “Will there be anything else?”
“One thing.” Tom said rising to his feet as well. “Only I get to call her mudblood. Crucio.” He added as he almost lazily watched as his follower collapsed on the ground.
“I haven’t taken any vows yet.” He told the twitching figure.
