After getting two of the founder's relics, Tom wanted to test them for any abilities. He read in some Hogwarts book from the ROR that the diadem, which he should look for when he has the time, enhances the learning ability of the wearer, so it makes sense that the other relics would have some sort of power as well.

All he would have to do is call the ghost of Helana Ravenclaw, who happens to be the Grey Lady of Hogwarts, with his Master of Death powers, and learn the location from her.

Before any of that though, Tom took Druella to her room and explained to her about the very flirty Morgana Le Fay that's currently taking up residence in his Le Fay ring.

Hearing about what happened in the ring, Druella wasn't mad at Tom, but she did want to go into the ring and start torturing the Dark Lady, which Tom found to be really cute.

Druella was fuming as she paced back and forth in her bedroom with her arms crossed and a small pout on her lips.

"Your jealousy is very cute, but you have nothing to worry about." Tom says from his spot laying on Druellas bed. "That girl is plotting and scheming. I can already tell that she's up to no good."

Hearing what Tom said, Druella stopped pacing and looked over her shoulder at him.

"Then why are you keeping her? Just send her back to the afterlife." She says as if it's the best option.

"Well, I plan on finding her a body and having Lady Death turn her into a loyal zombie minion." Tom says, causing Druella to raise an eyebrow at him.

"She can't hear us, right?" She asked to which Tom shook his head negatively. "Why do you want her as a 'minion'?"

"It's a surprise. You'll see once it's done." Tom says cryptically.

"Fine, but if she does anything sexual to you again, let me know and I'll put her in her place." Druella says as an evil expression forms on her face.

Since Tom didn't have to be at Hogwarts at the moment, he went straight to Kamar-Taj to keep it running as he's been doing.

Opening a portal to his bedroom, Tom stepped in and heard the faint sound of crunching potato chips.

Without even seeing where it came from, a small smile appeared on Tom's face, knowing exactly who it was.

"Your finally back. Did you enjoy your vacation?" Tom says as he turns to see his mother, the Ancient One, sitting on the sofa in his room and stuffing her face with snacks.

"Yes, it was very nice. I lounged around and read while eating snacks for a few months." She doesn't even have the decency to deny it and pretend she was doing work.

"Is your plan in place for Dormammu, or was that a lie?" Tom asks with an annoyed frown on his face.

"No, I never lie. It's just that the plan only took me a few days to set up." She says with a smirk, knowing that she's getting a rise out of him.

"Well, welcome back I guess." Tom says with a sigh as he flops onto his bed, tired of dealing with his mother already.

"On to business." The Ancient One says as she stood from her seat. "Follow me. We have a meeting to attend to."

Looking at her with annoyance clear in his gaze, Tom followed along as she asked.

Arriving at a large courtyard, Tom saw every person in Kamar-Taj waiting patiently for their arrival.

"What's going on?" Tom asked.

"Stick close to me and you'll find out." His mother says with a small smirk.

Standing before the crowd, the Ancient One motions for them to settle down.

"May I have your attention!" She exclaimed, drawing everyone's attention. "Many of you have heard of my absence and the possible incoming attack from the Dark Dimension. I left to prepare so we would be ready for whatever comes. In doing so, I left my student and adoptive son Tom Riddle in charge, and from what I've seen since my arrival, he's done a very good job."

Hearing her say this, Toms annoyance at her earlier behavior slowly faded away.

'At least she notices my effort...' Tom thought.

"Since he's done such an amazing job, I hereby announce that Tom Riddle will be my successor and the future Sorcerer Supreme!" She says, getting mixed reactions from the crowd.

Many were happy for him and clapped their hands with smiles on their faces, while a small number of others were annoyed and jealous at someone so young becoming the future Sorcerer Supreme.

These people are those that have been striving for many years to get noticed by the Ancient One and hopefully, one day become her successor, but it seems that's not going to happen now.

Tom's reaction was the best though, as he didn't think his mother would ever make him her successor, especially since she's known her successor for a very long time thanks to the time stone.

Tom didn't expect her to change such a key part of the future for him...

"Huh?" Tom grunts as he stares at his mother with wide eyes and a dropped jaw.
