"She can't leave the Chamber?" A horrified Hermione interrupted. "She can, just not into the school, there is a huge tunnel into the back of the forbidden forest where she has bonded with many of the creatures out there," Tom reassured her. "Anyway we began to suspect someone was using me, the missing hours and days lined up. But I can fight the Imperius Curse, it washes over me and never has a chance to cling to me. By Christmas I was positive it was Dumbledore, he was watching me more than usual even for him, he seemed eager and happy whenever I disappeared. Four more students had been petrified, each one Muggleborn, the tensions between the other houses and Slytherin had elevated. Gryffindors were attacking us every chance they got, yet when we retaliated or protected ourselves we got detentions and point loss. We were researching what was controlling me every free period we had with no luck. Even back then Dumbledore was removing books from the library and trying to limit our learning." Harry growled at that. Stupid old coot had meddled too much in the Magical world and he had no doubts that his Fathers thoughts back then were right and that Dumbledore had behind everything.
