Hey this is the fourth part of my writing campaign. This is one I’m really looking forward to doing!

If i think a story has the ability to continue i will continue writing it. If i don't then it will be either short or a one shot.

I really hope for reviews to know i'm doing a good job.

*~*~*~*~*~*~Enjoy*~*~*~*~*~*~

In the months after the war, Harry found himself right back at a newly restored Hogwarts sitting inside the Great Hall. Minerva was sitting in the Headmistress seat looking over her students. Harry was proud that several of the teachers and students were still willing to come back to Hogwarts.

Now he was able to have his seventh year with no issue from Voldemort or Death Eaters.

He finished up his dinner and bid his friends a good bye before deciding to take a walk around the lake. As he enjoyed the late night air he thought about all that he still had to do.

The Weasley’s were all going to mind healers to get through the death of Fred and all of the other Order members that had died during the war.

They had suggested that he do the same.

He had been raised to believe that anyone who went to therapists like mind healers were nutters. Though the sleepless nights he’d been having recently would probably stop if he started going.

As he started to pass the edge of the forbidden forest he heard the sound of someone stepping on the dried leaves and sticks on the ground. He turned and saw a figure cloaked in a black sheet. The person tripped on one of the trees roots hitting the ground with a groan. Harry gasps and runs over to the person and knelt down by them.

“Are you ok?” He asked as the person slowly got to their hands and knees.

“I don’t know…” He whispered before Harry gently adjusted him so the person was sitting back on the ground.

“Here let me look at you.” Harry moves in front of them and lifted the person’s head before he paled considerably. He nearly leapt from the person only to stop himself when he saw the very lost look in those red eyes.

Tom Marvolo Riddle.

He looked roughily 17, sickly, and completely helpless.

The boy looked at Harry before speaking softly. “Who are you?” he asked looking very confused.

Harry blinked and looked at her. “You… don’t remember me?”

“No…” He shook his head looking away as Harry could tell he was thinking of something. “I don’t even know who I am… Who am I?” He asked looking back at Harry in a way that a lost puppy would look at a stranger.

Harry looked into her eyes before slowly standing up helping the teen up. Harry found the boy was a full foot taller than he was. He gently leads him into the school and up towards the Hospital Wing. After laying him down on the bed he got Poppy to floo Minerva right away. As she did just that, Harry looked at the young man sitting up on the bed looking around.

He didn’t know how he felt having Voldemort still alive. He didn’t feel his scar hurting but he thought it could have been because he no long had a piece of Voldemort inside him. The boy seemed genuinely confused about things but he couldn’t be sure until Poppy could do an examination on him.

Tom turned and looked over at Hary before waving his hand. For a moment, Harry hesitated before walking over to him. “What is it?”

“Who am I? Who are you? Please tell me…” Tom asked desperately making Harry raised an eyebrow.

“I am Harry. You are Tom.”

Tom looked at him nodding slowly. “My name is Tom…”

Harry nods before turning and walking back over to Poppy’s office. “Is Minerva coming?”

Just as he spoke Minerva stepped through the floo looking paniced. “Where is he?” Harry showed Minerva and Poppy to Tom who looked at them in surprise. Minerva rested her hand on her chest as she looked at the boy. “Tom?”

Tom looked at her before looking at Harry. “Yes… that’s what he says my name is… who are you?”

Minerva bites her lip before slowly sitting down on a chair by the bed. “I am Minerva… tell me… how much do you remember?”

Tom raised an eyebrow before running his hand through his hair. “I… remember waking up… in the middle of that forest with leaves covering me… Then… I just started walking… it was really really dark for awhile but then… then I saw this place… and Harry!” Tom looked over at Harry fast with a large smile on his face. “I saw Harry walking around. I tried walking faster towards him because I just wanted to know where I was… and who I am but I tripped… Harry helped me. He brought me here… told me my name was Tom. And that’s really it.” He finished before looking at Minerva oddly. “Why is everyone looking at me like that?”

“Like how?” Minerva questioned.

“Like… your afraid I’m going to jump up and attack you or something… I mean… I wouldn’t do that…” Tom paused for a second. “Did I do that… before I forgot who I was?”

The whole room was silent before Harry slowly stepped over to him. “Yes… but apparently you don’t remember any of that.” He looks at Poppy. “Is there a way to see if he’s telling the truth other than a Veritaserum?”

Poppy nods and walks over to Tom. She runs her wand around his head gently as a small red ring appears around his head. Slowly the ring spun around Tom’s head before turning a soft blue. Poppy looked at it oddly before dispelling it. “He only have 5% of his memory. Who ever he was before… he’s no longer him now. I need to run more tests to see why he’s lost so much memory but there might be a chance he could get it back.”

Harry and Minerva looked up at her in shock before looking down at Tom. So he could be a ticking time bomb. There might be a possibility that he could turn back into Voldemort.

Minerva took a deep breath. “Harry… I want you to go get Ginny Weasley for me.”

Harry looks at her oddly. “Why?”

“Other than you and her… no one knows Tom’s face. She needs to be told about him being here. Until we can find out the extent of his memory loss… he will have to remain here at Hogwarts.” She said as Tom looked at them in confusion.

“Who is that?” Tom asked.

“Someone who knew you in the past… I’ll be right back.” Harry turns and walks out of the Hospital Wing. He didn’t know what Ginny thought about the events of her first year but she couldn’t possibly have very good memories about it. He found her in the library by Hermione and Luna studying. He leaned down whispering into her ear. “Can you come with me? There’s something you need to see.”

Ginny looked up at him before nodding putting her homework away before waving to the girls. Harry walks with her sighing deeply. “What’s wrong Harry?”

He blinked and looked down at the red head with a small smile. “Someone from your past… has shown up.”

Ginny gave him a raised eyebrow before gently taking his hand into hers. Harry looked down at them then at her and gave her hand a squeeze. Before the war, Harry would have killed to be with Ginny and be this close to her. But after the war, he realized that there would be no way that they would work. She had admitted that her crush on him had been because of his fame and when she got to know him really well she realized that he was not her type in the least. Had it been anyone else Harry would have called them shallow but he knew Ginny never treated him differently because he was famous. Over the last few months they had developed a deep friendship that was spawning into a brother/sister relationship. He looked out for her and she had his back.

Harry was jarred from his thoughts as they reached the hospital wing where he gently opened the door. The large screens had been set up around Tom’s bed and he could see Poppy’s silholette as well as Tom’s in the screen. Minerva was sitting on the chair away from the bed looking very deep in thought.

She looked up when the two walked in making her sigh heavily before standing. “Good to see you Miss. Weasley.”

Ginny looked at Minerva silently. “What’s wrong? Whose this person from my past?”

As she spoke Poppy stepped out of the curtined area before looking at Minerva. “He’s basicically healthy. Rather malnourished but that might be from the strain of the transformation.”

Harry looked at them oddly. “Transformation? Is that what happened with him?”

Minerva turned to Harry. “From what the test say, from the ashes that he was reduced to during the final battle it would seem that his spirit remained. It must have found a body still inside the forbidden forest to inhabit and it changed the bodies former appaearence to suit his own. It’s almost unheard of magic. I have never seen it for myself so I will have see if the Dumbledore portrait might know something.”

“Final battle? It’s not…” Ginny stopped before she slowly turned to the curtined area paling considerably.

Harry gulped. “Yea… it’s Tom Riddle. But it seems that he has no memory of anything. He didn’t know where he was, who he was anything. Poppy ran tests to make sure he was truthful.”

Ginny slowly stepped over towards the curtin before slowly moving it aside. Tom sat on the bed in a pair of pants and shirt that were Hospital Wing issue. He looked up at Ginny before he smiled slightly.

“Hi… I’m Tom…”

Ginny looked at him gulping thickly. “I’m… Ginny.”

“Is… is there something wrong?” He asked softly as Ginny slowly stepped over to him.

“You… don’t remember me… at all?” She asked as Tom shook his head. Ginny took a deep breath before she held her hand out to him. “It’s nice to meet you.”

Tom looked at her hand before slowly taking her hand. “Nice to meet you too…” Harry watched this silently wondering how Ginny could so easily let the past go. This man nearly killed her.

Wait… that’s not him anymore.

Harry blinked as he felt like he was talking to himself.

Don’t worry Harry… you aren’t crazy. This is just a way for you to get through this.

Harry gulps and looks over at the group. “I’ll be right back.” He steps out of the hospital wing and thinks to this voice.

Who are you?

I am your magicial guide. Not many wizards and witches get them. Usually only in times of stress and desperation. I have been watching you for months and I see now why I was given to you. You can call me Elo.

Ok… Elo. What do you think I should do about this? He was the dark lord… a murderer… How do I justify forgiving him?

I know that it will be hard to forgive him. But look at the facts in front of you… he is not Voldemort… he is Tom Riddle. A teenager who has no memory of who he is or was. He is a clean slate. You can mold him into the man he was meant to be. Not the way he was. If you give him the chance.

So do I completely forgive and forget?

No. Forgive him. But never forget. He is no longer that monster. He deserves a chance at a life he never had. Are you willing to help him?

Harry stood there for a moment thinking if he was really willing to put away his anger and help Tom reclaim the life that he knew was never his to live. After several minutes he finally had his answer.

Yes. I’ll do it.
