Disclaimer: I do NOT own Harry Potter.
A/N: This is in response to a challenge made by Blue Eyes White Dragon Sorcerer.
THANK YOU ALL FOR THE WONDERFUL REVIEWS!! IT'S WHY I STARTED WRITING THE NEXT CHAPTER SO FAST.
It's just so hot, that I can't be in my room long, and my room is where the computer is, but alas. Enjoy this short chappie.
Harry was stacking books in front of a chair when Voldemort walked in, amused red eyes watching as the young child climbed his way onto the chair from the books only to turn right ways in the chair and smile sheepishly at the man.
"Hi, I'm sowwie, I didn' mean to make a mess,"
"You didn't."
"Am I in twouble?"
"Why would you think that young one?"
"Well, you said you kiwwed my pawents, does that mean you hawe me too? My unk'le said I was bad, but I didn't fink anyone hawed me."
"No, little Harry, I do not hate you. You're parents were a causality. There's a war going on right now. Someone told me once that someone would come to kill me. That someone is you Harry."
"But I dun wanna kill you," Harry mumbled, sad.
"Why do you react the way you do, surely you are upset? I killed your parents." Harry shrugged, and Voldemort had to realize how old the young boy looked.
"Ish not youw fault, ow maybe it ish I dunno, but thewe's nuffing I can do. I wash a baby, they wewe adults. If they couldn't suwvive, I wondew how I did. Besides, we only mouwn and gwow bonds with those we have at-attachaments too. I didn't know them. And I dun wanna hate anyone. Hate brings pain." Harry looked up when felt a hand on his head, Voldemort was smiling at him softly.
"How old are you little Harry?"
"Free, see," he said as he held out a finger, "one, two, free!"
"Very good," Voldemort chuckled, "would you be adverse to staying here young one?"
"A-adver-see?"
"I'm sorry, would you like to stay here, with me?" the young boy's face lit up so brightly that Voldemort thought it should have been a sin for the boy to do anything but smile.
"Yesh, I would wike to stay hewe Tommy," Voldemort almost groaned, that insufferable name again!
