Harry sat in the front hallway on the floor in his aunt's house. He had found an old toy car. He sat playing with it, "vroom vroom" he said as he pushed the car around.

There was a loud bang on the front door. When it opened, in walked Voldemort himself. He looked down at the small teenager with a sneer on his face. Harry looked up at the tall intimidating man. "Vroom" he repeated. The Death Eaters had now surrounded the teen that still sat playing on the floor.

Voldemort raised his wand, at last he would kill the-boy-who-lived-to-drive-him-crazy. But the boy didn't move to grab his wand. Instead he moved onto his knees and pushed the car in a circle around himself. "What are you doing Potter?" The Dark Lord demanded.

"Huh? Oh, I'm ready to die is all." Harry stopped with his back to the Dark Lord and looked at the Death Eater in front of himself. "Do you think when I'm dead I'll have time to play?" Harry smiled at the thought and without waiting for an answer, went back to pushing his little toy car.

Voldemort smiled, an idea forming in his mind. "Do you like to play?" He asked the small boy.

"Yes, I love to play" Harry answered enthusiastically "But I'm tired of adult games. You and Dumbledore took my childhood away. You killing my parents and Dumbledore left me with people he knew would not love me. And now with the war I've had very little time to just be a teen. I know neither of you will let me play, so I will die and then I will be free to play… I hope." Harry frowned to himself. Then went back to ignoring the people around him and playing with the toy car.

"Vroom." He said childishly as he pushed the car. It slipped out of his hand as he pushed it too fast. The car hit one of the Death Eaters boots. Harry giggled as he looked up to the man.

"Pass it back to him." The Dark Lord commanded his Death Eater.

Barty Crouch Jr. got down on one knee to push the car back. Harry grabbed the car and pushed it back to him. "Vroom!" He said excitedly.

Barty took the car and pushed it back again. "Vroom." He repeated, not the slightest bit of amusement in his voice. Harry giggled almost falling over with excitement.

The Dark Lord got a half smile on his face, this was going to be perfect. "Bring the child with us." He commanded as he walked out the door. Lucius grabbed Harry by the arm, pulling him up. Harry screamed as if he had just been killed. "Let him go." The Dark Lord commanded.

As soon as Lucius let go, Harry crawled over to Barty and put his hand up in the air. "Up!" He commanded. Barty picked him up and placed the child on his hip. He had taught the boy all through his forth year. He had seen the boy wishing to be childish sometimes and he had noticed once or twice how small he was. But now with the boy placed on his hip he realized just how small the boy was.

Harry was small, he was shorter then all the first years. And as Harry sat here acting childishly, he seemed to only get smaller. Magic, that was the answer to this. It was rare to see, but had happened once or twice in the magical world. When a child had been severely abused and felt the witch or wizard could no longer handle things, it would revert them into the form of a child until they could.

Harry had spoken as if he was a pre-teen when explaining to Voldemort why he would not fight back. So obviously he was still changing, and now that his magic sees he no longer has to be all grown up, he will revert back to his childish self much fast. Only difference between him and a child would be Harry still had the memories of being a teen.

Barty followed the Dark Lord out the front door. Harry placed his head on Barty's shoulder. Yawning, he announced, "Me tired."

Barty smiled at him. "Don't worry. We will get you to bed soon. How's a nice nap sound?" Harry nodded his head and closed his eyes.

"Bring him to headcounters. We will regroup there. Forget this fight, we got what we came for." Commanded the Dark Lord. There was still a fight raging on Privet Drive, the Order of the Phoenix as well as the Ministry was there. Barty apparated away, soon followed by the others. Voldemort watched as Bellatrix put his mark in the sky. Just as he was about to leave, Dumbledore appeared.


Once at the Manor, Voldemort found his followers healing one another. Barty was sitting on the couch the small Potter boy sitting on his lap, fast asleep. "Why don't you put him in one of the rooms. Then we can start our meeting." Said the Dark Lord

Barty stood, "I don't think that is going to work." He then demonstrated by trying to put Potter down on the couch, only for the boy to start whimpering. His hand grabbing at Barty, begging not to be put down.

Barty looked to the Dark Lord to see what he wanted him to do. "Just put him down, he will be fine." Barty did as told, only for Harry to wake up as soon as Barty let go.

Harry then did the one thing he felt like he could, he cried. "No, no, no. I be good. Do-don-don't l-l-leave me awone." Already the boy was panting for breath.

Voldimort looked panicked. "Pick him up!" Barty did as told, Harry still cried, but it slowly turned into only a whimper. "Fine, he will just sit with you then." The Dark Lord then turned on his heel and lead the way into the large meeting room.

Not long after the Dark Lords inner circle was all siting around a table. Harry once again sound asleep in Barty's arms.


The meeting started with talking about who had been killed, two on their side but none from the inner circle. Then who had been hurt, only one in the inner circle had been hurt badly. Ten others had severe wounds and where being taken care of now, but they were of little importance.

They had caught two prisoners, both where Wesley children, Ron and Ginny, the two youngest. They would have to see how Harry reacted to two of his best friends.

Severus then walked into the room. "My lord, I apologize for being late." He said bowing to his lord. He looked to Harry. What was he doing here and sound asleep at that? He was confused by this, but took his seat as if nothing was different.

"Don't worry about it Severus, I know where you where. Tell me how's the other side fairs?" The Dark Lord asked calmly.

"Not well. There were five deaths on their side. And all of them have some injuries, except Dumbledore, as he only came in at the end. They're running around like mad men trying to find Potter. But with two of the Weasley children missing, half of them don't care about Harry and only want to find the other two children. Dumbledore has set me to get information on how the three children are fairing and what the best course of action would be on their part." Severus said in a bored voice, never taking his eyes off the Dark Lord.

The Dark Lord nodded his head. "Well, you can tell him the Weasley brats are in my dungeons, being tortured. And as for Potter, well…tell him you do not know."

"What are we going to do with Potter, my Lord?" Asked Narcissa, looking at the child with a small smile on her face.

"I believe it would be best for us to keep him around. We will give him what he wants. He is a prisoner, but if he is happy being here then there is no problem. We might even be able to use him when the time comes." Said the Dark Lord, a smirk on his face at the very idea. "What do you think Rita?"

Rita Skeeter was rarely acknowledged in these meetings. Her job was to handle the press and make certain people started seeing things their way, but she had lots of ideas for this. "His magic is reverting him back to that of a child. Every child needs a father, and who better then you. I believe, my Lord, if we play this right, it will look something like…Poor Potter has finally found a family, feeling it finally safe to be himself… The aunt and uncle do we still have them?"

"No, but we do know where his cousin is, a muggle bording school…smelly or something like that." Replied Amycus Carrow. The other Death Eaters laughed at the name.

"That will be good enough. Get the cousin. Get him to tell us the truth about how Harry grew up. Blame it on the muggles and on Dumbledore. Then bring Harry into the open when he's ready. Showing him with his new loving family. All you need is mom, dad, maybe uncles, aunts, and siblings, then you have got it made. The only thing I would really push for is you, my Lord, in the role of father." Said Rita, a smile on her face.

Voldemort smirked, this would be perfect. "Narcissa, I would like for you to build a child's room in the room beside mine. This house needs to be child proof. Bella I would like for you to start with the upstairs, get the others to help… preferably people with children. Amycus, Alecto find the cousin. Rita you have a family to build, I want it picture perfect. Get it started. Severus you know what to tell the Order, don't let them know what we are planning. Barty, keep Harry happy for now. All other responsibilities of yours, pass them off to someone else. Stay close to my office. I don't want Harry too far away from me."

And with that the meeting was over, they all knew their jobs and what they had to do.
