Sadistic Fever

Well here we go again, hopefully better than the last chapter, and I will definitely try and work on some errors I've had. Let's see here, I haven't worked on anything very much, but hopefully I will get time to work on this. Ok that covers the basis, Amanda has several new stories up so check hers out, I will be having a new one up probably pretty soon, I'll want some feed back on this one as to which you think would be good, at the bottom I'll put my favorite pairings and the one you like please put at the bottom of your review.

Shadow DarknessDragon: Thankyou so much for being my first reviewer! I will try and remember to fill in those parts. Morbid ness is part of my personality; I'll try and cut back though.

Better door than a Window

Peaking in through the door Ron stared at Harry wearily. "Can I come in yet 'Arry?" Harry continued to throw things in all directions, a plate there, and a bag of flour there. Ron just decided not to disturb the raving anger of his best friend, so he sat down by the door and waited for the commotion to stop.

Falling through the door, when it opened, Ron stared up at a livid Harry looking down. "Lucius a hero?" he scoffed "where in a giant's brain did they get that…" Still hyperventilating from the exertion, Harry slumped in a nearby dinning room chair.

"I came over to tell you that the wedding has been postponed for another week, something happened and the ministry is being all rushed and hushed about it." Ron sighs, looking increasingly worried "Only the highest ranking Auror's know, besides the Minister, yet they still are driving the ministry workers like dogs, dad had his week revoked… they wouldn't even let him out for Bill's wedding"

Pausing for a moment, all the information starts to sink in and infuriate him even further. Getting up he needed something to calm his nerves… he was about to blow a gasket. Furiously he threw his plate at the wall. 'This week was so…' he couldn't even finish his own thoughts he was so angry. "So your dad knows nothing?"

"Nope, though he is supposed to take you to Scrimgour himself, I guess you'll find out there what happened I'm guessin" 'Minister always wants me to be the ministry mascot, probably wants me to wear a suit' he stated wistfully like he was talking with out a care in the world. Harry watched Ron, something had changed about, and he didn't want to know what it was. 'Probably Hermione… relationship is going well I bet'. Lately everything having to do with relationships bothered him, it made him queasy just thinking about it.

Walking over to the cabinet, he drew out a case of butter beer. Putting it on the table he held out one to his best mate, who gleefully took it and started to drink it. Taking a swig himself, the sweet liquid calmed him down almost immediately. Something about eating, lately, calmed him.

He's been having nightmares constantly about that night, almost two weeks ago, maybe more. He wasn't sure, he had been in the house loosing track of the days. Watching his friend, almost joyfully, drink his butterbeer with a perpetual smile on his face.

His whole life seemed… well less whole to him, more like a half empty glass than anything. It was weird, whenever he talked to Ron his entire subject always was about hot this one "chick" is or how much he loved Hermione. It almost seemed odd, he's never really been attracted to girls, more to the fact he only loved them, and more as friends never really. In fact he hadn't jerked off in a while… he hadn't been attracted to anyone lately.

Today though he was thinking about things he shouldn't. Like how his friend's tight shirt fitted him well, and how his hands were soft… Ron's question stopped his wondering thoughts.

"So what have you been up to lately, can't be too fun in this drafty old place" tilting his head as he spoke.

Harry answered with a flick of his wand in the direction of a teapot behind Ron's head. Waiting a second for an answer, Ron about jumped out his skin as the pot exploded.

"What in hell did you do and you could have warned me" he yelled out from under the table. Harry wasn't sure if he was yelling out of surprise or a loss of hearing. Popping up from underneath he was still yelling "You're going to have teach me that"

For the first time in the time he has been at dark old house, he smiled full heartedly. He really missed his friends, 'maybe I should have been less involved with spell books and more involved with everyone, they're suffering to'. All his diligence though had been for them, to be as powerful as Dumbledore and Voldemort, even stronger. They were the reason why he was working so hard to become better.

"So when is the wedding postponed till?" Harry asked

"Well… next week, I am guessing, but if they're willing to just take away a persons vacation, it must be big enough where dad might ask Bill to keep it off until things cool down"

'Just enough time for me to do a bit more training before I head to the Burrow'

He realized they haven't once talked about Hermione, and it would be kind of rude for him not to ask the boyfriend if she was good or not. "How is Hermione?"

"She fine, since her parents are muggles they're stay with us at the Burrow" his smile went away for a moment. "Actually any muggle born, or orphan witches and wizards are now suppose to live with a wizarding family until the war is over, the ministry has made it voluntary choice… but there is a problem with that, dad applied for both you and Hermione to live with us, but Scrimgour himself sent a letter saying we couldn't have you… someone else applied"

Ron and Harry looked as Arthur Weasly came bounding in carrying a VCR, bowler hat almost falling off his head.


Lucius watched his son walk in to the office head bowed, he never liked his treatment of his son, but it was necessary to keep up appearances. Sitting down opposite his father he waited to be talked to.

"Draco, as you know, you are kidnapped at the current moment, and we are soon about to get a guest that can't see you until after your rescue" Draco almost smiled at his fathers way of sarcasm, though he still had no idea who the guest was. He assumed it was some orphaned Death Eaters child meant for grooming.

"Why does no one know whose coming besides you and the minister… not even you know who knows…?" Lucius jumped out of his seat stopping his son mid-sentence. Pointing his wand at a light on the ceiling he uttered a few syllables.

A purple light flooded the room, making everything had an indigo hue. Sitting down again before speaking "What did I tell you, never talk about what's going on unless the silence is on until the secret keeper is put into play. I have everything prepared, right when he comes I will have a secret keeper and only two people will be told besides the family and the guest as to where we are, Voldemort and Scrimgour"

Draco flinched at hearing his father say the name, when ever the silencer was up, his father blatantly used Voldemort's name. He was never sure why he did it, either out of defiance or out of not caring what happened. "Who is coming father? What's so important that even Voldemort can't know?"

"Something that I made an unbreakable vow for, and when you find out who it is you can't tell Voldemort, and I will hold you to that." Standing up he picked up his cane, and walked to the door of the office. Opening it he gestured to the boy to leave. "I have a meeting this afternoon, go to your room and don't leave it till I get back and I am greeted, when I am in here in this office once I send a house elf to you" He finished off as Draco sullenly left.

"Harry! Good to see you, I have a wonderful object here that I don't know how to use, can you show me" Arthur exclaimed as he plopped the VCR in front of Harry. "I think it's called a Sony, it has that written on several places." He stated while pointing to several words on it.

"It's called a VCR, it's used with tapes that can be played on a television" Harry said, while pushing the eject button on the far right. When tape spewed out of the opening Arthur jumped in asking question after question, pointing here and there.

"I stuck a thing into this VCR that I think you called a tape, if that's what the little black box was called, and it does that every time I try and get it out, so I just put the stuff back in" He said, poking at the brown tape. "You said it showed stuff on a television, where can I get one?" Right when Harry opened his mouth to answer, the eldest Weasley slapped his forehead almost yelled out, "Ohhh I almost forgot, and we've to get going." He said while running out of the room, then sticking his head back in to say "well come on".

Still in a daze, Harry followed Ron out the door, down the hallway, to the front door. Mr. Weasley stopped and held the handle for a second, then turned towards Harry. "Harry, I am not sure why the ministry has put in effect these lawsbut they have modified the laws concerning ones coming of age … they have set it that a wizard under the age twenty must be with a wizarding family…"

Harry thought it made perfect sense, the law made sure young wizards weren't able to be picked off one by one, either joining Voldemort or murdered for not becoming a mindless zombie controlled by the psycho. Stepping out on the stairs, he saw they had several limos waiting, several Aurors were circling overhead. 'This will be an interesting day' was the first thought that popped in his head.

After they were all safely packed away in the ministry's limos, things went pretty smooth. Arthur talked with an Auror next to him, and Harry and Ron talked about Quaditch and the new spells Harry had learned recently. Ron really laughed when Harry turned his skin green with a camouflage spell, since the limo's interior was a forest green. Quickly changing himself back with a counter spell he sat there telling his friend about some of the other spells in his new arsenal. Demonstrations of his spells always got a laugh out Ron, but he never showed him his more dangerous spells. Arriving at the ministry, the trio disembarked for the Minister office.

Harry noticed the different atmosphere the Ministry had since the attack. Grim were all the faces there, not any of them smiling, like everything had gone grey. Slipping a lemon sherbert out of his pocket, he stuck it in his mouth. Ever since Dumbledore's death, he won't go anywhere without them, they comforted him. Still sucking on the sherbert, he watch Ron and Mr.Weasley basically shriveled up just being in the grey atmosphere, he then wondered how different he look, maybe not in a good mood but sucking on a lemon sherbert not paying attention to anything. He wanted nothing more to start humming when he had one of these in his mouth. He next got out some chocolate and put it in his mouth and just let it melt, still waiting for the minister.

Knowing the current minister, the wait was probably an intimidation tactic. The silence of the place was deafening, besides the occasional foot steps, there was no sound, not one person talked. The secretary, got up and said "Harry Potter, he will see you now" directing them to the door and opening for them. Grabbing the back of Ron's shirt she pulled him back, scolding him as she went "You are not allowed in there, please have a seat" emphasizing seat as she pushed him down on the couch.

Taking in the surroundings, Harry looked at how cold everything was, not anything had a hint of warmth. Sitting in some chairs provided for them, Harry and Mr. Weasley waited patiently for Scrimgour. Taking off his hat, Mr. Weasley stood up and said his greetings, and sat back down, fumbling with his hat the entire time.

"I am sure you know the reason why I have called you here" stated the lion like man

"Minister please, I had requested for Harry's stay with our family even before the law was finished"

"Yes, but this is a very tricky matter, the chosen one in an undefended house, with less than reputable assets"

"Sir if you may…" Mr. Weasley was interrupted by Scrimgour

"There is little to discuss, I have a family chosen, he's considered a hero, and he has even done an Unbreakable Vow." Pausing for a moment he picked up a letter and handed it to Mr. Weasley. "A secret keeper has been set, and I am having Aurors make sure the whole place is secure before anything takes place. Here is your wonderful host now Harry" gesturing towards the door. Harry's eyes almost bulged out of his head, his breath caught in his chest

"If you stare at me long enough you'll find I make a better door than a window" Lucius said with a sneer.


Wow, well there is that chapter! I hope it was better than my last chapter. Please review, I need all the criticism I can get to help improve my writing.
