If you can't beat them, join them.
A week, 7days, 168 hours. Whichever term you use, it was still too long in Harry's opinion, he had only been back at the Dursley's for a week and he was already sick of it, however being there had given him a lot of time to think about who his allies really were and who wanted him for his power and fame. Ron, he would blow a fuse as soon as he thought Harry hadn't told him something, take fourth year for instance, Ron turned into his greatest enemy just because he thought Harry had put his own name in the goblet of fire. Ron irritated him to be quite honest he didn't really know why he was still friends with that guy. Hermione was just as bad but not as obvious, she showed him up whenever possible correcting his every mistake making out that she was perfect and so should he. She never failed to nag at him or take Ron's side in arguments, oh yes they were both against him when it suited. Then there was the headmaster, Dumbledore he was the worst of the lot. He made out he had good intentions and he almost had Harry fooled, he doesn't care he just thinks of his students as pawns, in his little game of wizards chess, except these pieces can not be repaired. And Harry was the ultimate weapon the king in chess, he had to be protected but when things got tough he came into play. Oh yes Dumbledore was a fool an old fool and things will be different this year, 6th year he will be 16 and boy how things would be different.
Harry had been doing chores such as cooking, cleaning, dusting, gardening, washing up, tidying, Hoovering, shopping and so many more, with little, sleep, food, drink and regular verbal and physical abuse, and today after two weeks he wasn't having it, he left for a walk, he was allowed them so that it wouldn't look suspicious. He left going out of Privet Drive and twisting and turning around streets, then he stopped, the road was deserted. "VOLDEMORT! Come here I have a deal to make, you can apperate here, and no wands drawn I only wish to speak with you like the adults we are. You can have death eater here too just in case you think I will try something." Harry Bellowed to the sky, there were several loud CRACKs and Voldemort and two death eaters that Harry guessed were Lucius Malfoy and Severus Snape. "You wished to speak potter." Voldemort spat, Harry decided a slight bow would suffice, and as he did he heard all of them gasp, "Sir, I wish to join you and I know you have no reason to believe me I can tell you what all of the prophesy said and then you may understand what I am talking about."
"What did the prophesy say and none of the riddles it comes out with just tell me the point of it." Voldemort hissed, "It basically said that I am the only one who can defeat you and it's unlikely we are to be killed by anyone else. But sir just think if we were working together no one could stop us, Dark Lord and Golden boy." Harry replied. "Yes that would be interesting, but what about Dumbledore." Voldemort asked, "Dumbledore is a meddling old fool who really really needs to keep his nose out of my business and watch his back because I'm tired of being his puppet." To say that the others were surprised would be an understatement, "So Harry, you wish to join me, and what rank would you wish to begin at? Death eaters child, Death eater, inner circle, right hand man, my equal?" Harry thought for a moment, "I wish to start where any one would like to, your equal however that is virtually impossible and as such I wish to start where ever you put me and hope that I can work my way up your ranks." Harry replied. "Very well you shall start as a Death eaters child, mainly because you will have to go back to Hogwarts, but in meetings and such you will be my equal. If you are wondering why you are in a sense a Death eaters child it is so that I have less complaints from the others on our side and then it will be easier at Hogwarts as you will have no dark mark, but I will still class you as my equal and I will expect you to do the same." Harry nodded, "Yes sir, do you wish me to keep this identity secret from the students and teachers?" "Yes I think it will be for the best, now when I need you or wish to see you, I will send you a sign via your scar, for now Goodbye Phoenix." Voldemort and the death eaters left and Harry made his way back to Privet Drive; he could now have a good night sleep.
