A/N: Ok, this maybe a little confusing… in Hp book number 2 instead of Ginny getting tom riddles dairy Harry gets it, and then Dumbledore saves Harry and destroys the dairy. Umm yea so please tell me what you think!

Chapter One:

His back was sore, and he ached all over...oh, the cold, it seeped right through to his bones, his very blood seemed frozen. He opened his eyes a crack...he could see his eyelashes, barely...weak pale things, they were...

Oh, but the man in front of him looked as though he were underwater...but that was because his own eyes were filled with tears...and he could barely see him, his love, his heart, his angel and his guardian... .the only one to have ever touched him like that, or said those words.

Tom was content to just leave him there, like that, but Harry didn't want him to...how could he, after all that had happened?

"Please," Harry begged, he pleaded, surprised at the weakness of his voice, but then surprised that he could speak at all...by all rights, Tom shouldn't have even been able to hear- but the bond that they shared, oh, it knows no boundaries.

Tom knelt beside him and tentatively touched his face, then held Harry's trembling hand in his. The tears were falling...

And then Tom clutched at Harry's hand so hard that his nails pierced the-boy-who-lived skin, and he stood stiffly and left.

"Don't, no.." he wept, but Tom didn't return, just stood in the shadows. Harry's voice was a hook in Tom's heart, and Harry knew it tugged at him, ripping and shredding the threads and strings that held it together. Some believe that those who want power, they are weak...but Harry knew that Tom was stronger than anyone he had ever met before, anyone he ever would...

Tom would not turn, and it would crush Harry's soul, but he would not cry for Harry, and although Tom was not oblivious to the pain, he could withstand it. Because Tom had been string, and Harry had been weak.

Harry Potter was only twelve. And Tom Riddle was only sixteen, in a manner of speaking. And Harry did not have the power nor the knowledge, at age twelve, to fight him.

Tom had been right when he had told Harry that he would die in the Chamber of Secrets, even if he did not know why.
