Taleahr

What would have happened if Harry had gotten the diary Horcrux instead of Ginny?

Harry is confused about many things. Why won't Dumbledore let him stay at Hogwarts for the summer instead of go back to the Dursleys? Why won't Ginny leave him alone, even after he tells her he's gay? Why do Ron and Hermione keep meeting with Dumbledore and not telling him about it?
With the help of his new friend, Tom Riddle, Harry answers these questions and more.

Harry Potter’s Pen Pal

Tom, I completed the blood test... but it revealed a lot more than I thought it would... and I have a few questions....


Why don't you show me the blood test and I'll answer those questions.


Place it on the diary and chant "Ostende".


Don't you dare call me 'my lord.' I've had enough of that from my honorary brothers and Peeves.


I suppose I do have a little bit of Gryffindor in me... but I'm mostly Slytherin.


That reminds me. What are you going to do about your re-sorting? I don't think you want Dumbledore to find out you're the heir.


Before I get a re-sort, I want to know exactly what blocks, compultions, and controlling potions there are, and get them removed. May I ask my questions now?


...I can't tell you that, Harry. My maker has forbidden it.


You mean, your sixty-six-year-old self?


...I can't tell you that either. I'm sorry.


How would I go about finding that information?


I'm fairly sure Dumbledore has hidden all the books about Horcruxes. I suggest you order them by owl. The Dark Library in Knockturn Alley probably has what you need: The Darkest Art.


My second question is: how do I find out the blocks, compultions, and controlling potions, and how do I get them off me?


Gringotts. The goblins have special parchment that tells you that information and a ritual to cleanse it from you.


So... during the Christmas or summer holidays?


Christmas holidays. Depending on how strong/powerful your magic is and how much blocks/compulsions/controlling potions are there, the more time you take to get rid of them... you could die.


I'll ask Draco's father to take me to Gringotts during the winter holidays, then.


My last question is about how I became Lord and Heir of Slytherin. You're the Heir of Slytherin -- or more probably your older self. Since when did I defeat your older self?


Can you tell me how I can find that information out? I've never defeated anyone except...
