All right, you should know some things before reading this:

1) this has no elements from HBP. pretend that didn't happen

2) the DoM incident was planned by Harry and Voldemort. Sirius's death was an accident that Bella apologized for, before and after Voldemort tortured her

Chapter One: The First Battle

"Are you sure you don't want to stop? If you give up, we can live together in peace," the ebon-haired, green-eyed savior of the Wizarding World asked his red-eyed lover.

"No, Harry," the Dark Lord answered, "You know as well as I that neither of us will give up our ideals, even if it's for our own love and happiness."

Harry sighed. He knew Voldemort spoke the truth. They had been arguing about that since they first started dating in Harry's fifth year. Harry was deeply in love with Voldemort, and knew the feeling was mutual. Harry had been the one who instigated their relationship. After the an extremely painful beating from Vernon (I'm a sucker for abused Harry stories ; ), Harry reached out to Voldemort using their bond, seeking any comfort he could. Voldemort, being oddly sympathetic to child abuse, consoled Harry throughout the summer. By the end of the summer, they were inexplicably attracted to each other.

The Death Eaters were told about the situation in Harry's sixth year, and were weirdly accepting of the relationship. Harry was often invited to their social gatherings, even making friends with him, despite the fact Harry was on the other side of the war.

Suddenly, the door to Voldemort's study swung open, revealing Melantha Embry, a Death Eater the same age as Harry. Melantha was a very good friend of Harry's, even though most if the Wizarding World didn't know it.

"My Lord, the Order has just breached our wards. They are here to 'rescue' Harry," Melantha informed Voldemort.

"Damn it! I knew two weeks away from the Dursleys was too long for them not to notice I was gone!"

"Harry, calm down! Melantha, tell the Death Eaters to prepare to fight. Harry, lock yourself in one of the dungeon cells."

Harry kissed the Dark Lord goodbye and ordered Melantha and him not to get hurt. Harry ran to the dungeons and let himself into a fairly disgusting looking cell, then tried his best to look roughed up and unclean. He had been sitting in the cell a good hour before someone appeared in front of him. Ron Weasley and Neville Longbottom both seemed tired and it was obvious they had been fighting.

"There's a huge battle going on upstairs," Ron said, "We came to rescue you."

With a simple flick of his wrist, Neville unlocked Harry's cell. Ron looked over Harry to see if he was hurt, then handed him his wand.

"I found this in a box labeled 'Prisoner's Wands', a little obvious if you ask me, but convenient all the same. Hurry, the Order needs our help."

And with that, Harry, Ron, and Neville ran up the stairs to join the battle. Harry immediately realized that both sides were about evenly matched. He also noticed that there were tons of casualties. Most were people he barely knew, but there some he was pretty close to, like Ginny Weasley (Order) and Draco's older brother who went to Durmstrang, Lucivar Malfoy (Death Eater). On the bright side, Harry thought, Wormtail was dead.

Harry immediately engaged Pansy Parkinson in battle, knowing she was a fierce fighter from past mock duels, a favorite pastime for Death Eaters. Pansy sent a bone crushing curse at Harry, which he easily blocked with a shield. He quickly retaliated with an unblockable (to non-parseltogues) parseltongue curse Voldemort taught him that made the victim become so confused, they attack their allies. Smirking, Harry hurried off to find another opponent.

Harry defeated (but didn't kill) five more Death Eaters until he came face to face with Voldemort. They circled each other, unwilling to curse their lover. They did this for a couple minutes until Dumbledore called the retreat.

"You know that one of us will have to kill each other one day," Harry said.

"I know."

Harry could tell that Voldemort was as upset about it as he was.

"I love you," Harry whispered in parseltongue, then disapparated out of Slytherin Manor.
