After gaining full control of Hogwarts and learning about a possibly unfavorable prophecy, Tom and Druella returned to their dorm rooms to get a good night's sleep.

With only a week of school remaining, the last days of Hogwarts went by in a flash. Of course, Tom received perfect grades for every one of his N.E.W.T.'s, which was extremely rare for Hogwarts.

Although, Tom wasn't the only one to get perfect grades on multiple N.E.W.T.'s this year. Druella and many of his followers in his year also got either perfect or almost perfect scores as well.

The Headmaster said that it was the first time that so many people from the same house had such a stunning N.E.W.T.'s performance.

Before Tom left school for the last time as a student, he was called to the Headmaster's office and given all the information he needs for the next school year.

As they discussed earlier, Tom would be teaching Transfiguration as a Professor at Hogwarts, which hasn't been announced to the public yet.

As a Professor, Tom has to come up with a curriculum and assign the needed books before the Hogwarts letters are sent out.

Since Tom has a perfect memory thanks to his Occlumency, he decided to write his own books for his future classes.

It shouldn't be hard to compile all of the information from the many books he's read and stockpiled in his mindscape. Especially since it's all compiled on a laptop, which should make everything a lot easier.

The most annoying part will be finding the time to write it all down. After that, it's just bringing the books to a publisher and they can mass produce them for the coming school year.

'Maybe I can come up with a spell to instantly write the books? A moving quill? Isn't there a spell like that already?' Tom thought but wasn't sure as he may have overlooked that charm. 'I'll check later.'

When Hogwarts came to an end, Tom left school with Druella through the Floo, with the Headmaster's permission of course, and went straight to the Floo in the Leaky Cauldron.

"Where are we going?" Druella asked as they made their way into Diagon Alley.

"I have to make a stop at a shop and then we're headed to Gringotts." Tom reveals as they make their way towards Knockturn Alley.

When Druella saw the entrance to Knockturn Alley, she went on alert and reached for her wand, ready to attack anyone that looked suspicious.

Knockturn Alley is the most lawless place in wizarding Britain. Many that walk in are never seen again, while some go in innocent and come out battle-hardened and broken on the inside.

Although Knockturn Alley is such a dangerous place, it houses many stores and vendors that specialize in wares related to the dark arts.

"You could have warned me that we were heading to Knockturn Alley...' Druella comments.

"Don't be such a baby. I'm strong enough to level all of Diagon Alley, and you're probably the strongest witch alive right now. No one in this dingy old Alley is going to stand a chance against us." Tom says as they stroll into Knockturn Alley.

As they pass through the entrance, they put up their hoods to disguise themselves.

The second they left Diagon Alley, the atmosphere instantly changed. The upbeat hustle and bustle of Diagon Alley disappeared, as a dark and ominous ambiance filled the air.

Hearing Toms encouraging words, Druella couldn't help but agree. Although she's been told all of her life how dangerous Knockturn Alley is, those dangers aren't something she has to worry about anymore.

After dealing with a couple of pickpockets and a group of muggers, Tom and Druella entered a shop called 'Borgin and Burke's'.

Of course, all attackers and thieves were disposed of brutally, sending a clear sign to anyone else that wanted to do the same.

As they enter the small shop, a bell on the door chimes, informing whoever works there of a customer's arrival.

Looking around the shop, Tom saw a messy room filled with all sorts of dark and cursed items and books. He even saw a few human body parts laying around, which wasn't pretty.

The place was a goldmine for illegal and powerful dark items.

Not seeing any person manning the store, Tom and Druella started perusing the shop for anything of interest.

"Are you looking for anything specific?" An older man says as he walks out from the back of the shop.

He had black greying hair and tan wrinkling skin. The atmosphere around him was not pleasant either, which is most likely due to a lifetime of handling dark and cursed objects.

"Yes, I am." Tom says, not at all surprised by his entrance thanks to his enhanced senses. "About eighteen years ago a woman came and sold you a locket with a snake on it. I want it."

Hearing what this mysterious customer said, the shop keepers eyes widen for a moment as he remembers that purchase.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but we do have an assortment of other lockets that you can look through." The shopkeeper says, diverting the conversation.

Tom knows that some woman buys the Locket from Borgin and Burkes in the story, but he doesn't remember who. Maybe he took a bathroom break during that portion of the movie? Who knows?

"No, I'm not just looking for any old locket." Tom says as he approaches the counter with Druella strolling behind him. "I want the one I talked about. Either you still have it and want to keep it for some reason, or you've sold it already, which is fine. I can't blame a man for doing his job, but I will be terribly offended if you don't tell me who has that locket. Now, which is it?"
