The first crack was quiet, but in the silence that followed Severus’ statement it was enough to startle both Harry and Hermione. Tom’s hand was clenched around his tumbler glass, a small glisten of his whiskey stained the thin line. Suddenly the glass shattered into tiny icicles, covering the floor at his feet like snow. His crimson eyes filled with anger as they swung to look at his children. "And pray tell, just how was the Chamber opened? Only three people have the gift of Parseltongue. I had hoped my own children, would be smart enough to find the Chamber to use as an escape room, yet NOT OPEN IT AND RISK BEING OUTED TO DUMBLEDORE!!" Tom screamed, causing Harry to flinch backwards. "I TOLD YOU THE STORY OF WHAT HAPPENED WHILST I WAS A STUDENT SO YOU COULD LEARN FROM IT!!" In his fury, Tom’s magic was creating a slight wind that was gusting around his children. "Tom!" Severus snapped, bringing his friend out of his state. Shaking his head, Tom sat back down, running his hands over his face before staring at the twins. "What happened?" He demanded. "Well, see, we haven’t found it yet." Harry said wincing when his Father’s eyes snapped over to him. "Talk." "I.. sort of.. Lost the Diary." Harry stuttered out. "You sort of lost it?" Tom stood up, his voice was calm and icy cold as he spoke, red eyes glowing in anger. It was worse than the previous yelling."How could you be so irresponsible and idiotic! I told you what that Diary was and warned you about not taking care of it!" Tom spat in anger, and for the first time in years, Harry flinched away from his Father in fear. Tom caught the movement and his heart went cold. He had promised to never hurt his children, to raise and love them in the way he hadn’t been. His vision and focus narrowing down on the twins, Harry leaning into his Sister’s side for protection, then, the sight before him began to change.
