Chapter #36: The real me.

Draco couldn’t help but feel confused, he was in some kind of white room filled with mist, it was blurry and confusing, but he wasn’t alone, there was someone else standing in front of him, and that person was smirking, it seemed like that person was finding Draco’s situation funny.

“Who are you?” The blonde wizard said with a shocked expression.

In front of him, there was a guy around his age with dark hair and pale skin; despite the fact that he was trying to look charming, he looked dangerous.

“Draco Malfoy…I wasn’t expecting that asshole Abraxas to have descendants,” the guy smirked. “I’m Tom, Tom Riddle, but you know me by another name…Lord Voldemort, yes, that’s me, but I’m the younger, more attractive, and overall better version of him,” the arrogance he was showing was dangerous.

It seems things are just like he thought: the dark lord's true enemy is himself.

“What do you want from me? Where are we?” Draco was taken aback by this situation.

“This is your mind…It seems like you’ve decided to touch my diary, which is a horcrux, but you already knew that,” Tom said with a smirk.

“No…But I had dragon gloves!” Draco complained.

“You, foolish boy…I’m the greatest wizard that has ever graced this earth. Did you really think I wasn't prepared for a situation like this?” Tom smirked.

“What’s your purpose…You aren’t going to live longer; your destruction is on the way,” Draco spat angrily.

“That Potter friend of yours will never destroy me…Although I find myself curious how Dumbledore managed to know my plans, that’s impressive, but it’s irrelevant, the only one who can destroy the dark lord is me, and that’s what I’m going to do,” Tom surprised Draco.

“Why would you do that? Aren't you two the same thing?” The blonde couldn’t help but ask with a bitter tone.

“Because I’m disappointed in him, he has become too calm, stable. Where is the chaos? Where’s the desire to bring this world down? Now he just spends his time in that castle that looks like Hogwarts, still remembering his younger days…Immortality didn’t suit him, luckily, with the help of horcruxes, we can reverse this situation, the world will know about a younger and more brutal Voldemort.” His smirk was dangerous.

Draco couldn’t help but gulp, this was a very dangerous situation.

“So…You’re going to kill me now?” Draco was a bit scared.

“No, I’m going to take control over your body. I need a physical representation if I want to get rid of my older self,” Tom answered with a calculating smirk.

“No…I won’t let you do that!” Draco didn’t know how, but he managed to get his wand to attack the younger version of the dark lord.

However, the guy didn’t change his expression; he still wore the same arrogant expression, and so, Draco's efforts were futile; the dark lord soon repelled the attacks with just his hands. Moments later, Draco was already pinned on the floor.

“So pathetic, well, it was to be expected of Abraxas' descendant, this family has nothing but money, they’re weak at heart, your dear grandfather tried to kill me once, only for him to beg for mercy later…It was so funny watching him turn into my bitch,” Tom laughed.

“…You’re not getting away with this…The Potters, they’re going to get rid of you,” Draco smirked.

“Those are nothing foolish wishes, you need to wake up and realize that everything that matters in life is power, and the Potters lack that very much…Well, it’s over. I know this meeting was too short, but I’m tired of seeing you. I'm not a fan of you or your family,” Tom didn’t even wait for Malfoy to say something else.

Soon, he took control of his body. Draco’s eyes started glowing with a green, venomous color; it was almost fluorescent. It was the same Draco Malfoy physically, but internally, his body was controlled by another thing, someone vicious and brutal.

“Ah, that was interesting…It feels nice to have a body again,” Tom said with a smirk. “Well, first things first, I need to get rid of the Potters,” he muttered to himself.

Soon, he found the cube and tapped it. Harry quickly answered the call.

“Draco? Are you alright?” Asked the emerald-eyed wizard.

“Haven’t been better,” fake Draco answered, and Harry didn’t seem convinced, but he decided not to worry too much about it; they hadn't reached the stage in which they discuss their personal problems, so Harry decided to leave him alone.

“Great…Did you find the diary?” Asked Harry with a serious tone.

“Yes,” Tom raised the diary, and Harry smirked.

“Nice find, I see that you’re wearing the dragon gloves, good…We need to see each other to destroy that thing,” Harry told him urgently.

“Why don’t you come to my place? My parents aren’t home,” Draco suggested, and Harry was a bit skeptical.

“Well, if you don’t mind us being in your home, considering we’ve become the most wanted criminals of the country, I guess we should do it,” Harry said with a nervous smile.

“Great, let me give you my address,” Draco told him with a smirk.

Harry was surprised he hadn’t heard the blonde complain or make a snarky remark, but he wasn’t complaining; it was a weird but refreshing situation.

“Okay, I got it…We’re on our way,” Harry said with a smirk.

“Yes, use the floo please,” Draco said with a sweet smile, and Harry nodded before breaking the contact.

Tom smirked at what was coming; his stupid older counterpart should’ve destroyed them without mercy a long time ago. It was time to do what his incompetent older self hadn’t succeeded at.

Soon, sounds were heard in the chimney, and Tom got ready, he was already holding Draco’s wand, but then, his eyes widened, not only Harry, James, and Sirius were present, but there was also Henry. Soon, the two lovers shared a look before some shocking words were said.

“It’s not him…Get him!” Henry said angrily.

Tom forgot that these two were lovers, so it made sense for Henry to realize he wasn't the real Draco, but Tom was ready too, so a fight started, spells were shot everywhere by all parties involved, but surprisingly to them, Malfoy was avoiding the attacks with an ease and grace that reminded them of a swan.

“Draco…You need to fight, get back to us…We need to destroy him!” Henry said with a pleading tone.

Tom couldn’t help but chuckle, and soon, his attacks became more and more brutal. He wasn’t hesitating to use the unforgivables; luckily, they were able to dodge the killing curses, and then, the cruciatus hit Henry, his screams started to fill the place, but surprisingly, the possessed Draco stopped.

“No…Leave him alone!” Draco said as he fought desperately with himself.

“Harry…Kill me!” Draco begged.

He preferred to die rather than keep making his lover suffer, and while there was an internal struggle between Tom and Draco, Harry didn’t waste time and soon, he grabbed Sirius' dagger and got close to the blonde.

“Goodbye, mother…Father, Henry…” Draco thought to himself as Tom begged him to stop Potter.

Draco waited to feel the stab on his body, but then, his eyes widened when he realized Harry actually stabbed the diary, and then, the blonde lost his consciousness as Voldemort’s piece of soul disappeared.

“Well, this was—” James was about to say, but then they heard someone enter.

It was Narcissa, and it didn’t take too long for her to start screaming at the sight of her son on the floor.
