Hp: The Outcast

A few weeks have passed and everyone is back from the winter break. It was starting to get boring, I was glad that they were back. Victoria seemed to be in a happy mood ever since she came back from the break. She told me about the talk that her family had and how her mom supported her decision to stay at Hogwarts.

I was happy for her, it finally seemed like she was alright with being in Slytherin, but the thing that surprised me the most was her present that she had gotten for Christmas. I wasn't expecting her to get it, but here she was with the cloak of invisibility.

She even pulled a little trick on me while in the Slytherin common room, albeit it was pretty restrained. It was just a simple jump scare, but it was unexpected to be completely honest.

The trio still went to talk to Hagrid about the philosopher's stone and watched the hatching of Norbert, but doing so also got them trouble. They had detention in dark forest with others.

While in the dark forest, Harry encountered a dark figure trying to drink unicorn's blood, but was stopped by centaurs. Voldemort is still weak, it seems. I wonder how long can he last, or what will he do next?

Whatever it may be, it was a tensed situation seeing that the end of the year exams are here. We all were studying with all our efforts, we wanted to do good in exams.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The group was sitting in the library studying for the exam, but one member was missing from the group. It was me…

Tracey looked at Victoria and asked, "Where is Jon? We haven't seen him today…"

Victoria shook her head and said, "I don't know, honestly, even I haven't seen him today…"

Ted said, "He's fine, he must be with Prof. Quirrell or something like always."

Victoria nodded and said, "Yeah, maybe…"

While my friends wondered where I was, Ted was spot on… I was with Quirrell. I was with him practicing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We both were out in the open field. In the distance I could see the whomping willow and the castle… we would come here to practice big magic since Prof.'s room was a little small for it.

Prof. Quirrell was putting on gloves and he looked at me and said, "So, Jon… you pre-pared for the up-coming e-xams?"

I chuckled and removed my robes and said, "Oh, yeah… I am already done revising… I am prepared." I looked at him, and asked, "So Prof. How was your trip?"

He smiled and nodded, "It was… educatio-nal." He asked, "How about you, Jon? You we-re a-lone here, I h-ope that you di-dn't wa-ste your time."

We took stance and I said, "Let's see." and we bowed and the spar began.

He really pulled out all the stops today. He didn't waste a single moment and unleashed a barge of spell. For the first half of the duel, I was playing on the back foot trying to find an opportunity to strike, but he wouldn't give me an inch.

So I had to create my own. As I was dodging his spells. I used my wand and levitated many rocks and boulders and hurled them at him. He saw them coming and pulverized them, he said, "It's not a game, Jon."

I looked at him and squinted, and I used Confringo, a fiery orange colour light emitted from the tip of my wand, and it was shooting towards Quirrell he looked at him and deflected it, but I didn't stop I wasn't about to lose my opportunity here.

I continued sending charms, Jinxes, and curses at him, "Reducto, Expulso, Stupefy" and he was now getting pushed back.

I used the tempest jinx, and Quirrell tried to protect himself using Protego. The lightning was stopped right in front of his face with an invisible barrier he smiled, and he thought that I was done, but I created another offshoot of lightning, and it struck behind him, but he was still protected by the invisible barrier.

He pushed the lightning away, and the force caused me to lose balance, and he said, "Expelliarmus!" A red light hit me and knocked me back. I landed on my ass and groaned. He walked towards me and I grabbed my wand.

He sat beside me and handed me my wand, and I said, "You really went all out today, prof."

I heard a chuckle, "That he did…"

I looked at him, and he looked at me, and I said, "Who was that?" I looked around and I couldn't see anyone. I looked at Prof. and I heard, "It's not him that's talking, it's me."

The prof. Looked at me and said, "Come with me Jon. We have to talk." He didn't stutter or nothing… and now I was worried and confused. He got up and looked at me and asked, "What do you know about your family, Jon?"

I looked at him and said, "What?.. No, no, no, what was that voice that I heard just now?"

He looked at me and the voice said, "It's time… for him to know."

Prof. then sighed and nodded. He looked at me and said, "Come, I want to show you something."

I really didn't want to go, but I didn't have a choice right now. He took me further away from the school. We were in the forest and I said, "Prof. I don't think we should be here?"

He chuckled and said, "You are completely safe, Jon… the creatures of the forests should be afraid here, not you."

We stopped, and I looked at him and said, "What is happening Prof. How are you talking better, and I am just crazy or did I actually hear a voice with nobody?"

Quirrell nodded and said, "Jon, what I am about to tell you is going to come as a surprise to you but, I would like it if you kept an open mind about it."

I looked at him and said, "What is it?"

He sighed and said, "Your father is alive, Jonathan."

I looked at him, and he said, "And he is here with me." He turned around and removed his turban. And I saw an old washed up face it was ashy and decaying, its eyes glowed red for a moment before becoming brown. The face looked at me and said, "Hello, son."

I looked at the face and said, "Son? You are my father? You are Tom Riddle?"

He smiled and said, "That's me."

I looked at him and asked, "How can I believe you?"

He nodded and spoke in parseltongue. "I am your father, I am Tom Riddle."

I understood him and his eyes widened, and he smiled. He looked weird when he smiled, but right now I just need to handle this. I shook my head and said, "How are you alive? And are you even Alive like this?"

He chuckled and said, "That's a long story, if you have time, I am willing to tell." I nodded and he told me the story. He told me he was an Auror fighting against the dark lord… he had a superior named Emilia House, my mom. During the war, they became close and had a relationship.

But while my mother was with me, they both were attacked by the dark lord himself, and he overwhelmed both of them. He stayed behind, buying time for my mom to escape with me. He was attacked by the dark lord, but fortunately or unfortunately his essence was trapped here. He was found by Quirrell and how he is helping him. Not only that, but he even cried to sell this story.

He looked at me and said, "I have survived for this long, but I don't know if I can continue on like this."

I looked at him and said, "There must be a way… to help you to… save you."

He sighed and said, "There is, but we would need the philosopher's stone for it. With the help of the stone, I can have my body back…"

I looked at him and asked, "Is there anything I can do?"

He looked at me and nodded, "There is something that you can do for me, son. But I don't know if I should."

I looked at him and said, "I don't want to be alone…" He walked towards me, and he hugged me, he said, "You won't be son.". It felt wrong… I was barely keeping myself together. This is so messed up.

Greetingsss Readersss,

Hey guys I hope you all liked the chapter. Now I know there will be a few PPL who will be upset that the Mc lost to Quirrell and there will be even fewer who are reading this but to those who are I just wanted to say that. Mc is not supposed to win here.

Quirrell went all out on this spar and Jon could have won if hw had used some of his newest spells but he didn't because it's not a place to show his hand. So I hope you guys understand.

Secondly the first movie is about to end in like a few more chapters and I would like it you guys left some reviews about the FF.

Lastly if you liked the chapter leave a comment down below and while you are at it throw some stones and I will see you in the next chapter. Bye
