"Master, It's time to wake up!" Mimsy called as she popped into Toms room in Kamar-Taj.

Tom awoke with a complicated look on his face.

"I'm awake, Mimsy." Tom says as he sits up and rubs the sleep out of his eyes.

"Good morning, Master!" Mimsy says with a bright smile.

"Morning, Mimsy." Tom says as he stands and stretches his body.

After doing the usual exercises, Tom cleaned himself up and got some breakfast. Once his stomach was full, he went looking for the Ancient One to speak about his dream.

He found her lying on a sofa, eating chips and reading a mystery novel.

"Hey, I had this weird dream last night that probably wasn't a dream at all." Tom says as he storms in and sits across his teacher.

"Good morning to you as well, Tom." She says sarcastically and closes her book. "What was the dream that probably wasn't a dream about exactly?"

"It was about the Snake God, Manasa. She asked me to be her avatar in the mortal plane." Tom says.

"Huh? That's very generous of her. I've met a few avatars in my day and they're all pretty strong. Most of them were avatars of the spider god though. Did you accept?" The Ancient One asks.

"No, we ran out of time and every word she said seemed to pile on more questions I needed to ask." Tom replies.

"Good, find out everything before giving your answer. These types of things always come with a cost. Find out what that cost is before giving your answer. Then it all rides on if you're willing to pay it."

After talking with the Ancient One, Tom decided to just go about his summer and worry about the avatar stuff later. He will ask Manasa about everything when they meet again.

The next night, Tom didn't meet Manasa like he thought he would. Neither did he dream of her for the rest of the summer. While waiting for their next meeting, Tom decided to start studying muggle science.

He sent his elves to university campuses to collect books on Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Design Technology, along with anything else that caught his eye.

While Tom was reading and memorizing any and every university book brought to him, he sent elves out to look for Howard Stark.

'It's about time I learn about Vita-Rays.' Tom thought as he gave the order.

Halfway through the summer, one of Toms elves found Howard at a military base researching with a young Hank Pym.

Tom had the elves pop him there while under a notice me not spell. He then spent a good portion of time plundering everything from both Pym and Stark's minds.

At this point in time, the Pym particles were only a thought and Tom got almost no information on them, but he did get everything he needed to know about Vita-Rays.

With the knowledge on the super-soldier serum and Vita-Rays, Tom only needs to continue his studies. At the moment, he has a pile of information that he can't decipher. The only thing that will help understand everything is studying.

Before leaving, Tom put a small detail of elves to watch both Stark and Pym. The future will change so it's best to keep watch of as many high-level people as possible.

When Tom returned from plundering the minds of two of the most intelligent scientists alive, he went straight back to studying.

Throughout the summer, he would get calls from followers through the mark. Some with problems that were easily solved and others from people like Druella, who just wish to say hello and talk for a bit.

Before the summer ended, Tom made up his mind to start collecting the Deathly Hollows. He knew who possessed them and would try to get one of them before returning to Hogwarts.

'The Resurrection Stone.' Tom thought as he remembered the gaunt family ring from the movie. 'It should be the Stone on the ring, but where can I find good old Uncle Morfin? The Gaunt Shack perhaps?'

With a thought, Tom contacted all graduated Slytherins and ordered them to a gathering on the outskirts of Little Hangleton. He made sure to advise them to dress for a fight and bring their wands.

With that done he set the meeting time for tomorrow at midnight.

After giving the graduates their orders, Tom contacted Druella through the mark.

"Hey, Drue. You busy?" Tom asks through the mark.

"No, what's up?" She replies.

"Want to come to Little Hangleton to meet my crazy uncle tomorrow?" Tom asks.

"Sure, I guess but why are you visiting your barmy uncle?" She asks questioningly.

"You'll see tomorrow." Tom says and gives her the time and place to meet.

The next day, Tom did his morning training and studied muggle science for the rest of the day. Once midnight came, Tom had Mimsy pop him to a secluded place just outside Little Hangleton.

Tom then uses the mark to transmit his location, and followers start appearing all around him.

'I need to start learning apparition. Having elves do the work for me is nice, but the power to teleport is to cool not to learn myself.' Tom thought as he sees them all apparate in themselves.

Once everyone arrived, Druella appeared last with a curious look.

"So, why are we all here to meet your uncle?" Druella asks, expecting an answer this time.

"We are going to kill my crazy, racist, and all-around scummy Uncle Morphin Gaunt!" Tom says with a happy smile.

"What?!" Druella exclaimed. "You're related to the nutty Gaunts?"

"That's all that you took from him announcing the killing of his uncle?" Druellas brother, Briar asks with a wry smile.

"Well, It's not like the world will miss the man. I mean, even though they may be related to Slytherin, there hasn't been a right-minded Gaunt in ages. They all come out crazier than the last." One of Tom's followers voices but then realizes that Tom is a Gaunt as well. "No offense, my Lord."

"None taken." Tom says waving his hand dismissively. "Why do you think I want to kill the man? He brings shame to my name and the great name of Slytherin. I want his body to be cold before the sun rises." Tom says playing the heir of Slytherin card. 'Well, It's more because I want the Gaunt ring, and stealing it may not work. It is the ring of a noble magical family after all. Who knows what would happen if it were stolen. Better to kill the current Lord and take the ring as inheritance.'
