AN: Danny is attending Hogwarts during Harry's second year. Danny is a little bit unstable mentally (almost bi-polar like and mentally weak). Vlad Masters has adopted him and the Chamber of Secrets has just been opened.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot. The song being from Dead Space.

Vlad sat at his desk in his study, going over assignments turned in that day. He sighed and ran a hand over his face after he finished grading his last one. He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes, just wanting to sleep.

The next morning, he woke up and taught his first class with a tired mind. Anticipation formed in the pit of his stomach as he felt something bad was going to happen.

Once class ended, he took a break and followed the flow of students… he was led to the main hall. Singing reached his ears… eerie singing: a song he remembered singing when he was a kid. Whispers and shouts were being cast out in the background.

Ring around the rosy

Pocket full of posies
Ashes, ashes
We all fall down

He recognized that voice and instantly wondered… What is Daniel doing singing in the hallway… he should be going to class. He then noticed that technically, all of the school was there. He watched Danny intently as he sang. His eyes were staring blankly at the wall, his hands held up in front of him- arms slack- subconsciously. Vlad did a double take as he saw Danny's bloody fingertips, the skin split.

Ring around the rosy
What do you suppose we
can do to fight the darkness
in which we drown?

He took, yet, another double take at the wall. Now he knew why the students were gasping and muttering amongst themselves. There were deep scratches in the wall seemingly done by hand- if that was possible- and leaking red blood that said:

The Chamber of Secrets has been opened. Enemies of the heir, beware.

Something in Vlad's gut told him Danny did this.

Ring around the rosy
This evil thing, it knows me
Lost ghosts surround me
I can't fall down.

After Danny stopped singing, he fell to his knees. Vlad rushed out of the crowd and gathered Danny into his arms, "Daniel? What happened?"

The raven-haired boy's once vacant eyes cleared as he spoke. His voice was raspy and harsh, "I remember getting up from my desk… I had fallen asleep doing my homework," That explained why he was still in his uniform, "But it was like I was… I was just sitting down and letting someone else control my body for me. I was seeing everything from my eyes, but I couldn't stop myself."

Danny hesitated, taking in another raspy breath. Vlad mentally winced because it sounded so labored, he could tell it was thickened with pain, "Go on," he whispered.

"I watched as I scratched the words into the stone… I don't know how I did it without hurting myself… too badly," He looked up at his father with glassy eyes, "Dad…" He choked out.

"What? What is it?"

"Dad… I know who took over my body," He whispered, his chapped lips cracking and blood dribbled down his chin.

"Who, son? Who?"

Danny licked his lips before he started again, "Tom… Tom Marvolo Riddle."

"Who is that," Vlad swore he heard that name before. All of the teachers there gasped at the one word that was uttered next from the frail boy's lips and all of the students winced.

"V-Voldemort…" Letting go of his strength, Danny fainted in Vlad's arms, his head lolling back into Vlad's lap.
