Bringing Tom Back

Bringing Tom Back

Oh, Draco. Don't be a fool. Of course I will kill you.

I will kill you like I killed Harry, like I killed Ron, like I killed Hermione, like I killed Snape and like I killed Dumbledore. I will kill you like I have killed all who stood in our way.

No, Draco. It's not 'our' like in you and me. It's 'our' like in Tom and me.

Did you really think that Tom ever left me? Did you really think that the reason to why I joined your side was because of you?

No, Draco. It wasn't.

You were just a part of the plan, part of our plan. Part of Tom's and my plan.

You taught me to kill, Draco. But you can't teach a person to kill if the person doesn't already have the instinct in them. I had it. Tom gave it to me in my first year. After all, I started to kill chickens then.

Draco, I did actually love you. But I love Tom more.

I can see you wonder about something.

Are you wondering how I can kill you when I say I love you?

Well, Draco, I said I loved you. I did. I loved you. But, Draco, just like you can kill people, you can kill emotions. Like love, for example. Do you remember when I killed the love between Ron and Hermione? Together they were strong, separated they were week.

And that was what I did to my love for you. I killed it.

Did it pain me to do it? Yes.

But nothing and nobody must stand in Tom's and my way. Nothing and nobody.

Not you, not Harry, not love.

Nothing and nobody.

Oh, Draco, don't be a fool. And stop crying.

I know you love me. You have told me that many days and many nights. I know.

But that doesn't change anything.

Do you remember how I killed Harry?

Harry, the Conquer of Voldemort.

That little foul, thinking that I loved him. It's a bit like you, actually. You both loved me, you both thought I loved you and I did love you both. And I killed the love to you both.

Ah, memories. They are so lovely, don't you think?

Or what about how I killed Dumbledore? That old man. I really was surprised when I found out he really still was... in function.

And he was actually quite good, if you ask me. Had some interesting ideas of how to do it. A lot of experience.

He even looked powerful when he was naked. And dead.

That's why I painted him pink with lilac dots.

We couldn't have him look powerful, now could we?

Oh, does it make you sick hearing about it? I'm so sorry.

No, Draco, I'm not joking. I'm really sorry if I make you sick. I don't want to make you sick. It isn't nice to make the person you are going to kill sick.

Oh, Draco, I just came to think about something!

Severus Snape. That man was so funny, Draco.

I never thought he was into the tickling sex. You know, that sex where you tickle each other. But he was. And he was really funny! Some of the jokes he made were... wow...

But, as everybody else there stood in our way - he had to die.

Oh, Draco, of course you don't want to stand in my way. Of course you will do everything for me. I know that. But, Draco, Tom needs a body. And he wants yours. I'm really sorry for that. I would have loved to have you both. But only one of you can live in your body. You see, it is really hard to be two souls in one body. I know that. After all, Tom and I have lived in my body in many years.

But then, I found this wonderful spell. I can pull Tom's soul over in your body, so he can live there. But we don't want any problems with your soul. So that is why you have to die, Draco.

Oh, please, Draco. Don't be sorry. Be proud. Your body will hold the soul of the 16 old future Voldemort. Soon he can rise again. This time with me at his side. And this time, there will be no Harry, no Dumbledore, no one, to stop us.

Isn't it exciting?

I think it is.

Now, Draco, let me see.

I think it is time. Yes, everything is ready.

Oh, wait, are you ready, Draco?

I hope you are. Because it happens now.
