Chapter 3:

The next morning James woke me up, by prodding me

"Come on get up, we've got Potions with the Gryffindors first" he said

"EHHH, Okay I'm up, anyone in the bathroom?" I asked knowing that I need a shower

"Nah don't think so" he replied moving to Draco's bed, I smiled Draco hates being woken up so early. I fell out of bed and as I picked myself up, James was poking Draco. I laughed silently as Draco punched James in the stomach. James backed away letting Draco get up on his own. James rounded on me.

"You could have told me" he hissed rubbing his stomach

"You wouldn't have believed me anyway, so it made no difference" I replied smiling

"When did you first know?" he asked

"When I poured water all over him, and when I hid a house elf arrived when Draco got angry and blamed it, instead of me." I replied

"Did you regret it?" he asked and I nodded. He just nodded once before getting dressed himself and walking out if the dormitory. I walked into the bathroom and had a shower. I came out and pulled on my school uniform as Draco pulled himself together and got out of bed. Once I had pulled on my cloak, Draco looked up,

"I'll meet you down in breakfast in a minute. Okay?" I asked and I nodded. I ran after James and caught up with him.

"Whoa, what's up, you know Snape won't like it if you're grumpy, he loves you." I said and he nodded sadly.

"I've just remembered if my father or my mother would like me being in Slytherin." He blurted as we neared the Great Hall. I stayed silent as I thought, what would mother and father say, me being a Riddle, after they tried to save my life but instead, give theirs to Voldemort.

"I bet no matter what house you're in they would still love you." I replied

"Yeah, I suppose so, I hope they are watching me where ever they maybe" he continued.

"Don't you live with them?" I asked.

"No, they're dead." He replied. I pretended to be shocked as if I had heard the news for the first time.

"Oh, I'm sorry" I mumbled. The fact was I actually was as it was my fault that they died, in the first place. As we entered the Hall, I looked up to see Dumboldore looking at me before, saying something to Snape. I saw Snape nodding, before looking at me as I sat down next to James at the Slytherin table. James gave me a puzzled look and I told him to wait before asking the question, but he ignored me

"What are they whispering about?" he asked and I shrugged. I looked up and Snape was standing up to give us our timetables. As he neared me I kept looking at the plate knowing he would ask me to do something. I didn't know how right I was. Snape came up and handed me my timetable, I took it and tried to focus on it, but Snape knew me too well.

"Don't ignore me Mr. Riddle, anyway the Headmaster wants to speak, to you and please don't think you don't know what he wants to talk to you about." Said Snape giving James his timetable.

"Kay" I replied nodding.

"Hey Damien what was that all about?" he asked, I mouthed later and he nodded. I got up to Draco and James's surprise and walked out of the Great Hall. James ran out after me with Draco hot on his heels. They found me waiting outside the Headmaster's office. I stopped to think and to wait for the Headmaster to arrive.

"What...was...in...aid...of?" panted Draco, I glared at him, then he understood, but James didn't know what we were on about, I caught his glance,

"I'll tell you back in the common room" I said and he nodded

"I'm going to Charms, I'll tell Flitwick where you are kay, both of you." he said and I nodded.

"Does he need to speak to you bout you bieng the Dark Lord's son?" he asked and I nodded

"Not just that, but what the hat said, when he sorted me" I replied

"I wondered what he was on bout, you wanna tell me?" he asked

"Yes but don't tell James or anybody, until I say kay?" I aksed and he nodded and swore on his parents' graves.

"I'm not really Damien Lucius Riddle, I'm actually Damien Siruis Potter." I said and the expression, on his face was priceless, I smiled.

"So no wonder why, you didn't want to tell anybody, does my parents know?"

"Yes" I replied and he nodded.

"Can I stay with you when you go and speak to Professor Dumboldore?" he asked

"Sure, I'm sure there is not a problem with that" I replied.

We waited for and hour before Dumboldore came into view.

"Should Mr. Malfoy be here?" he asked and I nodded. Dumboldore got straight to the point,

"What did the hat say to you?" he asked

Flashback:

"Riddle, Damien"

"...Nobody knows of your past not even the headmaster or your brothers..."

"He said that nobody knows of my past not even you let alone my brothers" I replied and Dumboldore nodded, he sat down and stayed silent. Nobody moved until Dumboldore looked up,

"You are going to tell them are you not?" He asked and I nodded,

"When the time comes" I replied.
