The Known Truth
Hey there Kaya here. This is my very first non slash fic so please for the love of all Read and review please I beg of you!
As another note I'm sorry if I upload the second chapter wrong i've never done it before, if someone could let me know how to do that?
I do not own harry potter and never have which really sucks because it's amazingly awesome!
Harry was sitting in his bedroom at privet Drive writing a letter with quick strokes of his pen frowning slightly. He couldn't believe he was doing this...no, he could easily believe it, what he couldn't believe where the events that had led him to this. He sighed lightly and shook his head, normally he would have written to Dumbledore, but he could no longer trust the old man.
Not after what Sirius had told him, right before being shoved into the veil. If he was being truly honest with himself he hadn't trusted Dumbledore for a long time before that, not since second year really. Harry sighed to himself shaking his head as he sealed the bit of parchment with wax and handed it to hedwig.
"Take this to Voldemort girl." he murmured softly to her smiling as she hooted softly and flapped her wings, clearly questioning his sanity. "i know, I don't like it anymore than you do." he said with a small sigh. "but as they say. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Go on now, and be careful!" she hooted softly and nipped his ear before taking off into the night air.
He sighed and smiled giving his wand a flick all of his things flying into his trunk. He didn't care that he wasn't of age, he would be gone before any owl from the ministry could even get there anyway. Though he doubted they'd send an owl now that Voldemort was truly back and in the open.
He wondered briefly if he shouldn't be concerned for his mental health actually hoping that the Dark Lord would show up. But it was better than the alternative. If Voldemort refused to take him in then harry would trade in all of his money for muggle cash and hide in the muggle world.
He headed down the stairs not even bothering to pause to glare at the muggles. The Dursleys cringed away from him, cowering in a corner clutching each other, glass spread across all of the floor. Harry had lost his temper and all in one instant every single glass object had shattered. Windows, light bulbs, plates, everything. Only Harry's glasses had been spared.
He swept out of the house his trunk in tow as he headed down the street to wait in the park where he'd promised. He sat on a swing staring up at the sky and counting the clouds like he'd used to do when he was younger. Hours passed and his cloud counting became star counting the moon hanging in the sky as if laughing at him.
He almost jumped when the crack, like a gun going off sounded close to him, Voldemort standing at the entrance of the park and striding towards him cautiously but not fearfully the red eyes staring dangerously at The Boy Who Lived, waiting for the trick or the ambush. To be honest Harry was surprised the man was alone.
"So you're really here." Voldemort stated simply and Harry's lip twitched, as if he was trying not to grin.
"Hello Tom." Harry stated softly, using the others first name just to annoy him. "i didn't think you'd actually come."
"The night if full of surprises." Voldemort stated just as simply as before watching harry through narrowed eyes.
"Have you agreed then?" harry asked still rocking back and forth on the swing not seeming to care at all that the Lord Voldemort was standing right next to him.
"What makes you think that I have even considered the offer? Perhaps I am simply here to kill you?"
"if that was the case Tom, I'd already be dead." harry stated simply those Avada Kedavra eyes turning to stare into crimson, the look in Harry's eyes made Voldemort's pulse quicken with excitement, those eyes where like his own. Cold, uncaring and entirely too willing to cause harm and harry smirked.
"you want to know what I'm up to after all." harry stated and Voldemort tipped his head back and laughed the sound sending a wave of nausea through the golden boy, but harry did not flinch or move in any way at all except to tilt his head to the side, as if curious.
"you are not so stupid as I had thought." Voldemort commented and Harry snorted shaking his head.
"I'm tired, I'm hungry, I'm cold and frankly you give me the creeps and make my scar ache." harry stated his voice bitter, cold and yet hopeful. "either answer my question, kill me or go away." harry glanced at the other, waiting for Voldemort to recover from his shock.
"i agree of course, to a degree." Voldemort admitted his head tilted to the side, watching the other closely. "it is not an opportunity that I could pass up. A chance to study you, learn you and perhaps win you over to my side of things." Voldemort smirked.
"But you don't trust me and theirs no way in hell your taking me on as a student until after your certain I'm not about to stab you when your back is turned." harry stated and Voldemort laughed again.
"in fact that is exactly it." the man agreed watching harry, vastly amused. "i will be leaving you with the Malfoy's until I am certain you can be trusted." Voldemort said holding his hand out to the other Crimson eyes never leaving emerald.
"lovely, I hate them almost as much as I hate you." harry admitted with a sarcastic good cheer. "were Apparating then?" he asked grabbing his trunk and looking around Little Whinging one last time. "Alright then, lets go before the police show up or those ministry puff bags or god forbid it be Dumbledore." Harry said grabbing the thin, cold, pale hand that was Voldemort.
Voldemort eyes narrowed slightly his hand gripping Harry's, harry cringing in disgust and pain alike, the hand was far too similar to a snakes and the pain was quite similar to being cruciod all over again. Voldemort smirked enjoying causing harry pain and disgust for a few seconds before they vanished with a crack reappearing just outside of the large manor that was the Malfoy home.
"i do have to wonder though." Voldemort stated suddenly, pausing in front of the door. "why you have suddenly turned against the old fool." Red eyes stared at harry startled as a dark, vicious grin appeared.
"He lied to me." harry stated simply. "he lied to me and everyone else and normally I would have let it slide." Harry's eyes narrowed dangerously. "but this lie, this lie will not go unpunished." Voldemort shivered, not in fear but in glee. Young Mr Potter sounded entirely too much like him.
"what did he lie about?" Voldemort asked curiously, Smirking, he knew most of Dumbledore's secretes but he was curious to know which one had Harry's hackles raised.
"that is between me and Dumbledore." harry stated simply, "are we going to do this or do you plan on abandoning me here?" harry asked watching Voldemort with suspicious eyes the man laughing again striding up to the house and ringing the doorbell.
The door snapped open lord Malfoy's stern expression turning to shock as he looked from harry to the Dark lord and back again harry sighing and rolling his eyes. He had expected that at least. Malfoy seamed too startled to do anything and he only moved when Voldemort cleared his throat.
", Come in my lord, Mr...Potter." Lucius said his eyes flicking from one person to the other. Voldemort led harry into the room and into a sitting room.
"You will wait here." Voldemort stated simply. "Draco will join you soon."
"To keep an eye on me." Harry agreed amiably. "I'll just take a nap until then." he decided curling up into a chair and promptly falling asleep.
"Well that's interesting." Lucius murmured. "is he really..."
"oh yes, that is really harry potter. I've checked his magic."
"what douse he want!?" Lucius asked startled and Voldemort handed him the letter harry had written. "Training? And in return he'll... you cant honestly believe him?" Lucius asked startled cringing when the other glared at him.
"Not entirely, no." Voldemort admitted Draco and Narcissa staring wide eyed at him. "that is why I have brought him here."
"You want us to keep an eye on him." Draco stated quietly and The Dark Lord nodded.
"Closely. I can't read his thoughts like I have been before, his occlumency has improved dramatically since last year. And he's proven several times to be a pain in my side."
"so your worried harry is just getting close so he can stab you in the back later." Narcissa said her lips pursing and Voldemort nodded.
"Draco, you and Blaise go and greet our guest." Lucius ordered waving a hand both boys nodding, Blaise coming out of his hidey hole without even a sheepish look.
"Yes sir." they chorused heading down the hall.
"Something tells me potters up to something big." Draco murmured.
"Something tells me, this is going to be an interesting year." Blaise agreed quiet
Draco and Blaise slid silently into the room and found themselves staring at harry for a long moment. Draco was in shock, not only was harry sleeping in the house of his school enemy and several death eaters but he looked entirely too peaceful doing it.
"Draco is it just me or douse he look..thinner?" Blaise asked quietly Draco blinking. It was hard to tell under all that baggy cloths but harry did seam unnaturally skinny, he was also unusually pale his fingers twitching in a dream a soft sort of smile spread on his lips.
"He looks sort of sick too." Blaise murmured taking a hesitant step towards harry setting a hand to the others forehead, cautiously, fully aware that harry could wake up and would probably start cursing them just out of reflex.
"if he has a fever it's a small one." Blaise admitted pulling away as Harry shifted. "you wake him up."
"Why should I have to?" Draco demanded scowling and Blaise smirked.
"it's your house." Blaise said smirking and Draco fixed him with a glare gripping his wand as he prodded harry.
"Hey, Potter..." he jumped when harry shot straight up in the chair.
"i wasn't sleeping, I was paying attention honest. Just resting my eyes..." he blinked dumbly at Draco after a few seconds then relaxed back into the chair. "Oh, it's you."
"What are you doing potter?" Draco demanded his eyes narrowed and Harry sighed a bit.
"sleeping, or trying to." harry stated fixing Draco with an amused yet annoyed green eyes the blond shivering a bit.
"that's my chair potter." Draco bit out restraining himself from attacking the brunette, and only the fact that Voldemort had brought him kept Draco's temper in check. Harry blinked looked down at the chair back up at Draco and lifted an eyebrow, got up, and then moved over onto the couch curling up again.
"better?" harry asked his eyes closing again and Blaise laughed slapping Draco on the back.
"I think you lost that round Draco." Blaise stated simply flopping down next to harry who didn't even twitch. It looked for all the world that harry was asleep again. Draco and Blaise stared at him for a long silent moment jumping when harry sighed.
"ask if your going to ask." he growled Draco and Blaise glancing at each other.
"we where just wondering what the deal you made was." Blaise admitted watching harry who yawned.
"that is between me and Tom." Harry stated simply. "either of you play games?" harry asked opening his eyes again and Draco and Blaise shot each other a look before smirking.
"We play poker." they chorused. "wizard style of course." Blaise finished Harry laughing as he sat up.
"Excellent, I love the joker." he admitted. "we betting?"
"Five Knut minimum." Draco agreed both Blaise and Draco lifting small money bags harry laughing as he dug into his trunk for his own money. Harry grabbed the cards from his own trunk and grinned at them.
"Ready?" harry asked handing the cards to Draco the queen screaming at Draco when he put his thumb over her face Blaise snorting as Draco scowled at her and started passing out the cards.
and there's the first chapter.^^ don't worry, you'll find out what harry wanted with the Dark Lord in the next chapter. I couldn't reveal it ALL after all muahahaha. I'll try not to do cliff hangers because, well. Cliff hangers are delectably evil. Oh who am I kidding I already have one or two planned just to drive you crazy.
You know you love it.
Unlike my other fics this one really has no romance in it at all, I know that's my thing but I couldn't work it in.
READ AND REVIEW!!! I mean it now!
