Summary
Horror strikes him down where he stands, then. He sways, stumbles to put his back to the living room wall. Harry is woozy in disbelief, watching the two words slashed into his chest in livid red just like the scar on his forehead. ‘AVADA KEDAVRA.’
He knows those words, the first he can remember, his earliest memory. It feels like he hasn’t breathed in minutes. When he comes back to the moment, he finds that perhaps he hasn’t. Harry gasps for air like a fish does for water, and doesn’t find it. His back has slid down the wall somehow and his hands grip his head, hair clenched in fists.
Then he realizes he’s actually panting, a ringing in his ears, blocking out whatever it is people are saying to him. Hermione crouches in front of him where he can’t possibly miss her, palms settling gently on his knees.
“Harry,” she’s saying. “Harry, it’s going to be alright.”
How?
How can it ever possibly be alright again?

Summary
Tom Riddle had always been too weak around Harry Potter. How could he not? Harry Potter was, after all, a parselmouth like him, a descendant of Salazar Slytherin himself. Who else but he could be his equal? The person he could be himself with?
Harry though, was extremely naive, a blood traitor even, the type of people he hated the most, supporter of Muggles and Mudbloods, and yet, somehow, Tom didn't really care.
Tom needed to decide what was important and fast. His ambitions, or his innocent little Gryffindor?
