Finally it was the day his grandfather would return, Harry had carefully prepared for the ritual it was similar to the one that had been completely botched by Wormtail – only in that it used many of the same elements. However the ritual Harry was going to use was in Parseltongue, the ritual would take place within a circle with a diameter of exactly seven metres. Inside the circle were two overlapping triangles in the shape of a Star of David and outlining the two triangles were blessings written in parselscript. Six candles were placed in the tips of the triangles alternating between black and white and in the centre of the two triangles was a cauldron large enough to hold a man around the edge of the cauldron runes were inscribed, Laguz, Hagalaz, Nubiz, Jera, Eihwaz, sowhilo and raido. Finally there were four gems placed at the North, East, South and West points respectively. These gems were agate [north], opal [east], ruby [south] and finally blue lace agate to the west.

He had his grandfather's diary horcrux as it was larger than the piece inside of him and he was waiting for Quirrel to arrive. Lucius escorted Quirrel into the ritual room, Harry had explained to his new family that he had found his grandfather at Hogwarts and been directed to a ritual that would help his grandfather regain a corporeal form and they were eager to help Harry bring his grandfather back from his wraithlike state.

The Malfoy family was alone in the ritual room with the possessed Quirrel, Harry told his grandfather to step into the cauldron which had been filled with the restitution potion; once Quirrel was sitting in the cauldron Harry began the ritual.

It had been complicated and taken well over an hour but finally the ritual was complete, the Malfoy family watched as Tom Riddle rose from the cauldron looking like his thirty year old self. He appeared younger than his actual age, which was closer to seventy; due to both his soul anchors creation in his late teens and the longevity of wizards, Harry knew that if he had used the one in his scar than his grandfather would have appeared closer to his actual age, he probably would have looked to be in his mid-forties.

Tom Riddle, Lord Slytherin, looked at his grandson for the first time with his new bright red eyes; Hadrian truly was a son of the Slytherin, Malfoy and Potter lines. Once the ritual was completed the family moved from the ritual room in the bowels of Malfoy Manor to one of the sitting rooms on the first floor. Lucius was happy to see his friend and Lord finally well after ten years as a disembodied wraith, Draco was curious and Narcissa was worried that Tom would try to gain custody of his grandson – while both Harry and Tom were already planning their revenge.

Despite his possession of Professor Quirrel, Tom was not aware of the current state of the Wizarding world and he was both disgusted and enraged when he learnt of the treatment his grandson had suffered at the hands of his daughter's adopted sister. Dumbledore would rue the day he crossed Lord Slytherin.

Due to the timing of the ritual, Tom and Harry spent the last days of the Yule holidays with each other and not planning the coming war, time was also spent with the other Malfoys. Tom learnt that Hadrian had been adopted by Lucius and Narcissa and told them that he was happy and proud that his grandson was finally in the hands of people he trusted to treat him right and that he could not provide what his grandson so desperately needed at this time, he would always be Hadrian's grandfather, but he could not be a parent and continue his work to reform the Wizarding world. After hearing this Narcissa was much more relaxed around Tom, happy knowing that her son had gained another protector.

At night they planned, Lucius had papers created that named Tom as his own cousin and so Augustus Victor Slytherin was born. To the "Light" he was the Slytherin Regent as the oldest living Slytherin, but his followers knew the truth that he actually was Lord Slytherin. Augustus would be able to vote for the Slytherin seat after receiving letters of recommendation from Lord Malfoy and Lord Prince. Together the family now controlled a considerable number of seats between the Potter, Slytherin and Malfoy seats as well as those of their allies which included the Prince seat. The fight for magical freedom and equality had a leader once more.

Meanwhile, now back at Hogwarts Hadrian was making plans to get his hands on the Philosopher's Stone and remove all those who had betrayed him and led him to his death. Now that his grandfather no longer had the diary Horcrux, the Chamber of Secrets would remain sealed but that didn't mean that trouble wouldn't come to Hogwarts once more. Each week he received at least one letter from his older 'cousin' Augustus and Harry was happy that he finally had the blood family that Dumbledore had tried to steal away from him and had tricked him into destroying.

In early February Harry made his play for the stone, he found the challenges even easier than he had the first time and he had very little trouble retrieving the blood red rock, he couldn't wait to see Dumbledore's reaction to the missing stone and wondered what he would tell the Flamels after all he had guaranteed that their stone was safe at Hogwarts. Harry felt very little regret that he was essentially condemning the two Flamels to death after all they had already had several lifetimes to live and they were the ones who had trusted their life source to a manipulative old fool. Besides Dumbledore had told him in his first life that the Flamels were ready for their next great adventure so either they were tired of life or they had another stone that they hadn't told Dumbledore about and Harry was betting on the latter, you didn't survive for over six hundred years by being naïve.

The rest of the year was quiet until one day just before the farewell feast an aged man entered the great hall. Despite never having met him before Harry suspected that this man was Nicholas Flamel as he held himself like a man who had seen things others would never believe. He also appeared to be incandescent with rage.

"ALBUS DUMBLEDORE, HOW DARE YOU SEND ME A LETTER, A LETTER INFORMING ME OF THE LOSS OF MY PHILOSOPHER'S STONE." as Flamel finished speaking the eyes of every student present were watching their headmaster's reaction to the angry wizard.

Meanwhile Harry was hiding a smirk, he had stolen the stone and Dumbledore had sent Flamel a letter of all things, to tell him that he and his wife would now die. He choked back his laughter, Dumbledore was obviously insane; who in their right mind would send a letter to tell someone that you had caused their deaths, he was obviously a coward after all they were talking about the same man who left a toddler on a doorstep with nothing more than a note. Perhaps this was the man's modus operandi .

Dumbledore's response was to lead Nicholas to his office to maintain his reputation as a wise man; but it was too late the students were already whispering and wondering what had happened for the headmaster to lose the Philosopher's Stone other's guessed, correctly, that this was the reason that the third floor had been out of bounds. Harry and Draco were happy to watch as the headmaster began his fall from the pedestal that he stood on and all Harry could think about was the quote the bigger they are the harder they fall.

finally the end of year one I apologise for the long delays in publishing. This is the end of Dementor's Kiss but there will be a sequel that will cover his following years at Hogwarts and beyond. I have already got the first few chapters worked out however it will be some time before I upload that story as I want to try and write most of it before I begin uploading to prevent the big gaps in new chapters. Also a quick Thank-you to everyone who stuck with me since the beginning of this story.
