Endless Desire
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or FullMetal Alchemist.
A/N: Wow thanks for all the positive reviews, I wasn't really sure where to take this story and decided to just make it a one-shot but due to all the requests I'll try finish it. I will have to mention that it will be fast paced and will most likely be one year per chapter. So around 7-8 chapters total.
Note: Harry and Greed are the same person, but I'll most likely call him Harry most of the time or alternate.
Chapter 2: Serpent.
Greed groaned as he woke up, his hand flew up to his aching head as he sat up groggily. He startled for a moment as he found himself in an unfamiliar room but memories from last night came rushing back, a groan from beside him drew his attention. Looking over he smirked as he saw a blond head poking out from the covers.
'Good night.' he thought smugly.
Sliding out of bed he knocked aside a few liquor bottles and made his way to the bathroom only to find a tall, shapely and very naked redhead standing at the sink.
"Morning cutie." she said with a wink.
Greed smirked back "Morning."
A sound from behind him announced twin brunettes awakening as well.
'Excellent night'
-OooO-
Closing the hotel door behind him Greed threw on his jacket, he was wearing a skin-tight, armless, black body suit; a pair of long, black, baggy leather pants; black combat boots and a sleeveless green jacket with a fur collar. (Greed's clothes from FMA) As soon as the door shut behind him He gave a grunt as his bones began to pop and his skin rippled, steam rolled off him as he body seemed to shrink in on itself. A few moments later where the tall black haired man had stood was now a smaller younger copy.
Grinning to himself Harry headed for walked down the hall, he had a date in a few minutes
-OooO-
"Harry!" Hermione squealed as she hugged him. Grinning to him self Harry returned the hug as Hermione's parents gave the two kids a smile.
"Hey Mione, good to see you." He whispered in her ear, blushing furiously the girl grabbed his arm and dragged him over to her parents.
"Hey Claire, Jack. Good to see the two of you again." He greeted. He had met both parents at the train station at the start of the summer and both had immediately taken a liking to him. Then again how could they not, what was there to dislike?
'Ugh I'm starting to sound like pride.' he thought shaking his head.
"So good to see you again Harry, how are you?" Claire Granger asked smiling.
Harry returned the smile "I'm fine Mrs. Granger."
Jack nodded to him "Come on kids, lets get this shopping done and head to lunch." he announced.
Holding Hermione's hand tightly Harry followed her into the Leaky Cauldron.
-OooO-
"Bless my soul, it's Harry Potter." The blond haired man spoke dazed causing all eyes to turn to Harry "Come on up Harry, lets take a picture."
Smiling to his audience Harry gave Hermione's hand a squeeze before walking to the front with the blond "It's an pleasure to meet you Mr. Lockhart." he said in a pleasant tone.
Shaking the mans hand Harry tried to keep the scowl off his face as the cameras flashed. Lockhart was an annoying, pompous, egotistical twit but at least the man knew how to manage his fame. And since the oaf was obviously teaching next year Harry would be able to gleam some information off the man. Oh yes, Lockhart knew fame, he had a gift for it. Harry wanted that gift, and he would have it.
Smiling darkly he posed for the photographers.
-OooO-
Hermione frowned as she saw the look in Harry's eyes, the same look that he gave her was now directed at Gilderoy Lockhart. Oh she knew what it meant, Lockhart had something Harry wanted, the same way she did. She was a smart girl, she knew Harry didn't love her; sure he wanted her, yeah he cared about her but he didn't love her. He might never love her but that was fine with her. She loved him and would stand by him no matter what, as long as he wanted her she would be his.
As a malicious gleam passed through Harry's eyes Hermione couldn't keep the dark smirk off her face. What ever it was that Lockhart had Harry would get it, he would take it and nothing would stop him. Hermione almost felt bad for Lockhart..almost.
-OooO-
"Are those friends of yours dear?" Claire asked.
"Oh god no mom, those two are Ronald Weasley and Draco Malfoy, the two rudest boys in the school." Hermione snarled watching the two boys argue.
Harry frowned as he spotted them as well, his eyes lingered on young Draco and his father as thought of the Malfoy fortune passed through his mind before he looked away disinterested. The Malfoy's were rich and powerful but they had nothing he wanted. His vaults easily rivaled theirs, especially with the various investments he made this summer, and their political power was rocky at best. It would only take a few well place bribes and some false information to topple the Malfoy's.
Harry's eyes snapped back to Lucius Malfoy as he sensed a burst of Dark magic, seeing the blond man drop a book that practically dripped with dark magic into the red haired girls cauldron Harry couldn't help but smirk. Some people just made things far too easy.
-OooO-
"Harry Potter sir must not return to Hogwarts." The diminutive creature squeaked once more.
Harry rolled his eyes yet again "And for the third time, I have to go to Hogwarts."
"Dobby cant be letting you do that Harry Potter sir." The house elf squeaked "Dobby will be stopping yo-URK!"
The elves eyes widened at it stared at the hard, black hand sticking through its chest. Its tear filled eyes trailed up the arm and locked gazes with a frowning Harry Potter.
Reaching out Harry hardened his second hand and grasped the elves head "Should have stayed home today elf." he growled before squeezing.
'Crack!'
'Squish'
Sighing he grabbed his towel and wiped the gray matter and gore off his hands.
"Oi! Duddles" He shouted loudly "Come clean this shit up."
The frightened form of his cousin appeared at his door, the boy gagged at the blood and gore covering the floor before a glare from Harry caused him to shudder and grab a mop. Dudley gulped and shivered as his cousin walked past him, whatever had happened to his weak cousin during the school year it was not good for the Dursley's. Heck his father still couldn't stand on his legs with out breaking the bones again.
-OooO-
"Will you be needing anything else today Mr. Potter?" The goblin asked opening the cart door.
Harry hummed as he walked up to his new vault, the old one having been overfilled days ago.
"Get me three of those portkey coins, same price, and a list of all properties owned by the Potters." He announced. The goblin nodded, bowed and hopped in the cart.
Harry grinned as he looked for his vault key. Goblins were definitely creatures he could get along with, they were filled with so much greed that dealing with them was the same as dealing with himself. The one thing no one truly understood about goblins was that 'Everything had a price.' no matter what it is as long as you have cash you can buy it from a goblin.
And Harry had plenty of cash.
He had jumped from the fifteenth richest customer in Gringotts to the first in only a month and two weeks. immediately after his Awakening Harry had bought every book he could find on wizarding history and law, after all it wouldn't hut to know what he could and couldn't get away with. It was through this that he found out about the inheritance ritual offered by the goblins as well as the rules of combat.
The ritual had revealed him to be the sole heir of several major and minor families that had died out during the last war allowing him to gain access to their vaults and properties, one of these families was the Gryffindor line. The rules of combat allowed him to claim Voldemort's place as Heir of Slytherin allowing him access to the Slytherin vaults and properties.
These various vaults combined made him Gringotts most valued customer. Getting them to sell him the portkeys or watch his creatures for him was quite easy from then on. In fact he had also hired them to ward and protect his future home, Slytherin manor. Unfortunately he was stuck with the Dursley's until adulthood but after that he was free to live wherever he wanted. Slytherin Manor was currently being rebuilt by the goblins and several house elves and when done would be warded before 'Fluffy' and Norbert were sent there to protect it.
Harry snapped out of his thoughts as the large doors of his vault slid open, he smirked at what he saw. There were mountains and mountains of gold, silver and brown coins. Various piles of jewelery and gemstones as well as books, weapons and magical artifacts. Off to the side was his newest addition, the Mirror of Erised. Glancing into the mirror Harry grinned at what he saw...Nothing.
'Even magic has its limits, how do you show my hearts desire if I want everything?'
-OooO-
Greed grinned from his spot at Gryffindor table, he was watching Lockhart speaking with the fellow teachers and already he was learning something. The man was charismatic yet tended to boast too much, Green put this on his mental list. A nudge to the ribs drew his attention to the table.
"Harry this is Ginny Weasley, Ron's sister and that's Colin Creevy another first year." Hermione whispered into his ear.
Harry gave the Weasley girl a cursory glance and dismissed her as unimportant. Turning his eyes over to the Creevy boy he startled as he was blinded by a bright flash.
"Hi Harry, it so good to meet you, I've heard so much about you. You're my hero, Ginny's too. Is it okay if I take pictures of you and could you autograph it for me?" Creevy rattled off with out taking a breath.
Harry blinked the spots out of his eyes before glaring at the kid, he was about the snap at him before the kids comments passed through his mind. His eyes turned back to the Weasley girl who was now looking down and blushing before he looked at the Creevy boy who was waiting expectantly.
'Hmm..the girl is sort of cute, a few years and she'll be a real jaw-dropper, the kid on the other hand seems to have a picture fetish if he carries such a large camera around.' Harry pondered 'Well if I've learned one thing from Lockhart its that fans have their uses and I could use a few more groupies.'
Putting on a kind smile he gave the girl a wink before speaking "Sure thing Colin, it's so nice to meet my fans. The two of you are welcome to hang out with us if you want and I'll autograph any pictures you want me to." he replied.
The girl blushed deeper and Nodded while Colin grinned and hefted his camera.
"Giving out autographed pictures Potter?" A voice drawled from behind them. Turning Harry smirked when he spotted Draco Malfoy and his two bodyguards.
"Why yes Draco I am, would you like one?" He asked with a raised brow.
"Always got to show off huh Potty, first at the book store and now here." Draco sneered.
Harry simply smiled "Of course Malfoy, it's what us important and influential people do, isn't that right Professor." Harry replied directing the last part to Lockhart who had walked up to the group at this point.
"Quite right Mister Potter." Lockhart grinned "You really should take a page out of his book Mister Malfoy, should you ever be as famous as Mister Potter or I you will need to know these things."
Draco glared at the Professor and Harry before marching off with a huff.
"Something I said?" Lockhart asked confused.
Ignoring the Hermione's giggles Harry smiled at Lockhart "Perhaps Professor, some people just aren't ready for your wonderful insights." Harry stated "Would you care to join me for a picture professor? For the fans."
Lockhart grinned widely and immediately stood next to Harry.
"You'll go far my boy." He stated cheerfully.
"Oh I plan to." Greed whispered in reply.
-OooO-
"Like this professor?" Greed asked holding up the picture in his hand.
"Yes yes, good job Harry." Lockhart beamed "It's nice, simple but still looks stylish, excellent job."
Greed smirked in reply, his first detention of the year was spent with Lockhart autographing pictures. It had been easy to ask the man for some pointers, which he had been more than glad to offer. Thanks to Lockhart Harry now had a nice simple signature that he could use to quickly sign photos. Lockhart had even shown him a technique to use that would speed up his signing speed.
The man may have been useless as a defense teacher, but his knowledge as a celebrity was impressive.
-OooO-
'The Chamber of Secrets? sounds interesting.' Greed thought with a grin.
Turning on his heel he strode away from the blood stained wall toward his dorms. The caretakers cat had been petrified just days ago and now everyone was wondering about Slytherin's heir and the monster in the chamber. Harry had read all he could find on the subject and he was currently searching for the chamber. Apparently he was the only one to figure out that the creature within the chamber was in fact a Basilisk, a rare and powerful type of snake.
He wanted it.
After all he was Lord of Slytherin and a Parselmouth, the creature already belonged to him and whoever this so called 'heir' was they would suffer if they tried to take what was his.
-OooO-
Greed snorted as he strode down the hall. The second floor girls room? A girls room? What the hell was Salzar smoking when he built his chamber? Taking a breath to calm himself Greed headed for his detention with Lockhart. It had taken him under a week but he had already discovered who the heir was and where the chamber was located.
Little Ginny Weasley, one of his new groupies was keeping secrets. He had sensed the dark magic that surrounded the girl increase from day to day. He could also sense the link she had to that black book Malfoy had slipped her. Whatever that book was it had something to do with Ginny and the chamber.
After following the girl for a few days he had noticed that she would disappear into the girls bathroom for hours on end. After the third time he had followed her in with his cloak and had seen her open the sink in the room and enter the chamber.
The bad news was that Ginny, HIS Ginny, was possessed by another. A fellow Parselmouth at that, most likely Voldemort or some form of him. The good news was that only he and Ginny could enter the chamber, this would make it easier when he went after the beast.
For now he would leave Ginny to her own devices, let her petrify or even kill a few more students, let her soul become more and more tainted by the book and then at the last second he would swoop in and save the day.
When twelve year old Harry Potter defeats the thousand year old monster of Salzar Slytherin..well his fame would skyrocket. For now he would bide his time, learn from Lockhart and strike when the time was right.
Now the only problem was making sure no one suspected Ginny. Her brothers had already been suspicious due to her different behavior, he would need to do something to take the light off her..but what? Hmm...maybe if he turned their suspicions to him? Oh yes that would work perfectly. Everyone would suspect him of being the heir, he would deny it of course but they would suspect. He could use this to find out who he could trust, who would believe him even when the odds were stacked against him. And then when he finally defeated the monster, they would learn the error of their ways, they would feel guilty for doubting him and then he would have leverage.
-OooO-
"Serpensortia!" Draco shouted launching a small black snake from his wand.
Greed almost jumped with joy when he saw this. He had been looking for a way to make everyone suspicious of him and now Malfoy had provided him with just what he needed. They were dueling in the middle of the great hall with all students present and accounted for and the blond conjures a snake? How perfect was that? As Snape and Lockhart prepared to vanish the creature Greed decided to act.
/Come to me little serpent, come to me./ He hissed loudly. The snake looked around in confusion before moving towards a Hufflepuff boy. /No you twit, over here./ Greed hissed angrily. The snake stopped and turned to him, before it could move towards him though Snape hit it with a spell and vanished it.
Greed immediately slapped on a confused look as every eye in the hall was on him.
"W-what do you think you're playing at?" the Hufflepuff boy asked fearfully.
Before he could answer Hermione and Colin grabbed him and began dragging him from the hall. Greed took one final look at all the frightened looks he was getting a smirked to himself.
-OooO-
Five! Five people and Slytherin house were the only ones that believed him. The Slytherins of course refused to believe a Gryffindor could possibly be the heir so they didn't really count. As for the rest of the school practically no one but his closest friends believed him.
There was Neville Longbottom, a shy weak boy who's only talent lay in Herbology. The boy had believed Harry's and had sided with him. The main reason being that Harry and his group were the only ones that didn't make fun of him regularly. Harry had welcomed Neville to the group, the boy was very loyal and made a good groupie, he would need to waste his time training the boy and building his confidence but Neville had potential.
There was of course Hermione. The girl loved him far too much to ever betray him or believe the slander. She knew his true nature and accepted it. He had never doubted her loyalty for a second.
Colin had sided with him as well but frankly the kid was too blinded by his hero worship to see any wrong in Harry's actions. That was just Perfect.
Ginny had defended him of course since she had a crush on him. She had yet to realize that she was the one opening the chamber so she wholly believed in him. Her loyalty and obvious crush was noted down for later.
Lastly was some strange girl from Ravenclaw named Luna Lovegood. Now she was a weird one, she walked around with a dreamy smile yet knew far too much about him. Hell she had even called him Greed at one point and asked about the gate. If it wasn't for the fact that no one would probably believe her he would have wiped her memory clean. The girl was strange and was definitely one he would need to keep his eyes on.
-OooO-
"Lockhart has far out lived his usefulness." Harry growled at the end of yet another useless class.
Neville nodded in reply "Yeah, they should fire the git and hire someone new." He muttered. His shyness and confidence were still being worked on but at least Harry now had him at a point where he would openly speak with them.
While Neville had misunderstood Harry's comment Hermione had understood him perfectly. She grinned evilly as they walked, finally that pompous windbag would die. Harry had drained him of all he wanted and now Lockhart was no use to him, Harry would be removing him as soon as he could.
-OooO-
'Her skeleton will remain in the chamber forever?' Harry thought with a grin. Seven students had been petrified so far, everyone but his friends believed him to be the heir and young Ginny was close to being fully possessed.
It was time to play the hero.
"I have to save her guys, she's our friend!" Harry exclaimed turning towards his friends with a panicked expression. Nearby students looked over in shock at hearing this from the so call Heir.
"We don't know where the chamber is though, how can we save her?" Neville asked worry etched all over his face. Colin was breathing hysterically as tears threatened to fall from his eyes. Hermione and Luna both watched him calmly both hiding knowing smirks.
"It doesn't matter Nev, we'll search for it," Harry explained "You and Colin head for the dungeons, Hermione and Luna can go to the library. I'll look for Lockhart since he says he knows where the chamber is. If any of you find anything come find the others." He commanded in a even tone. The others nodded and broke away from the crowd at the blood stained wall, they could faintly hear McGonagall ordering students back to their dorms but her commands were ignored as they rushed away.
Greed grinned darkly as he made his way to Lockhart's quarters. He was unsurprised to find the blond ponce packing his luggage as he prepared to flee.
"Professor, we've found the chamber. The monster is dying we need you're help to finish it off." Harry announced between heavy breaths to give the impression he was tired. Lockhart immediately perked up at this news as thoughts of his newest book swam through his mind.
"Ah good show dear boy, you really should have come to me at the start. I was just preparing to enter the chamber and save that poor girl." Lockhart beamed "Come let us go and slay the foul beast."
"Yes sir." Harry beamed back. His smile turned to a frown as the man passed him, making sure Lockhart was looking the other way Harry waved his wand quickly and vanished every item in the room. Should anyone look it would be as if he blond ponce had fled.
With Lockhart trailing behind Harry made his way down to the second floor girls room and quickly opened the sink. Lockhart fearfully looked down into the dark pit.
"Are you sure it's safe down there Harry?" He asked with a gulp.
"Of course it's safe professor." Harry replied with a grin 'Safe for me that is.'
Lockhart gave him a confident nod and jumped into the pit, Harry followed moments later.
-OooO-
"Where is this dieing beast?" Lockhart asked fearfully as they passed the large skin of the basilisk.
"Just up a hear professor." Harry sighed for the fifth time. Following behind Lockhart he sighed in relief as the came to a pair of large stone doors with snakes engraved on them.
"Well this looks like its the end." Harry chirped cheerfully.
Lockhart gave him a questioning glance "I don't understand. Where's the dying monster?" He asked.
Lockhart shuddered at the dark grin Harry gave him, his razor sharp teeth glinting in the meager light of the chamber.
"You're it." Greed smirked as his skin turned pitch black and his body began to morph.
Inside the chamber Tom Marvolo Riddle shuddered as blood curdling screams resounded around the room.
-OooO-
Greed hummed happily as he waited for the large doors to open. Blood dripped from his clothing but he ignored it as it pooled at his feet. Lockhart had actually put up a good fight for a useless git.
By that he meant that he had shot off a few low level stunners and disarming hex's before he actually tried to Obliviate Greed. All his spells had uselessly splashed against his impenetrable armor and faded away.
With his mood now lightened Greed calmly entered the chamber. He had a new pet to tame.
-OooO-
Greed felt a flash of anger as he looked down at Ginny's body. He may have planned for this but the fact that someone else was harming his property angered him. Luckily the possession wasn't complete yet and he could still see life left in the girl. Sending a cursory glance over the chamber his eyes alighted on the form hidden in the shadows.
"So you're the one who's been possessing Ginny." Greed stated calmly.
The figure jumped in surprise before walking out of the shadows to reveal a young transparent boy.
"Ah so you figured it out huh? We'll you're right, the foolish girl wrote in my diary and allowed me to enter her soul. Soon she will die and I shall live again." The boy cackled.
Greed rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, that's great. Where's the Basilisk?" He asked in a bored tone.
The boy's eyes widened "So you know what Slytherin's monster is? Interesting, who are you boy?" he asked.
Greed rose a brow at this. The boy didn't know him? He would have thought Ginny would tell the diary all about her crush, and since he was the only other parselmouth in the school that should have made his identity known.
"For that matter how did you get in here? I haven't heard of any other parselmouths." the boy stated solving Harry's confusion.
'Hmm..so Ginny didn't tell him I was a parselmouth? Interesting.' Greed thought with a grin.
"You can call me...Greed." he replied to the transparent boy.
The boy gave him a curious look before nodding "Very well, you may call me Voldemort."
Harry's eyes widened in shock.
"Ah you have heard of me, or at least the person I become." Voldemort grinned "I would love to continue this talk but it is time for you to die."
Turning to the large statue behind him he raised his hands and shouted.
/Ssssspeak to me Ssssslytherin, greatessst of the Hogwatsssss four./
Greed rolled his eyes at the pathetic password as the statues mouth began to open and loud hissing could be heard from within. He was too preoccupied with the statue to notice as Voldemort hit him with a weak wandless disarming charm. Unfortunately it was enough to take his wand and leave him unarmed. Greed growled at this but could do nothing as the Basilisk exited the statue and roared.
/Kill the boy!/ Voldemort shouted gleefully.
The serpent roared and turned its bright yellow eyes on Greed. Yellow met green as the two eyes locked, Voldemort took a step back fearfully when Greed didn't drop dead. Red bolts of lightning arched around his body as he engaged the basilisk in a staring contest.
"H-how are you still a-alive!" He stuttered "The Basilisk kills with one glance!''
Greed smirked "I'm already dead boy, nothing can kill me a second time."
Voldemort sputtered as prepared to retort but Greed cut him off.
"What's this I see? A compulsion charm on your basilisk? Ahh a loyalty bind making it obey you and only you. Interesting, the only way to remove it would be with a powerful mental attack and to do that would involve looking into the creatures eyes, and that would be certain death...well for you mortals it would." Greed grinned.
Voldemort's eyes widened as he spoke proving his theory correct. The teen had cast several binds on the creature so that it would obey him. Well no matter, he could easily break through these.
Drawing his magic to his eyes Greed focused on the serpent before him. He could faintly hear Voldemort hissing at the snake, telling it to attack, to crush him, to bite him but none of his commands were followed as the basilisk was now entranced by his magic. The serpent simply remained still as Greed attacked the spells on it's mind, it took him but a few seconds to smash through the meager defenses and unbind the creature.
His work done Greed drew back from the serpents mind as the snake shook free of the enchantments. The serpent was still clearing its head when a small black coin struck it and sent it spiraling away from the chamber.
"What have you done with my basilisk boy!" Voldemort raged as he turned his attention to the smirking teen across from him.
Greed grinned "I've sent it home, it's first home. Slytherin Manor."
Voldemort's eyes narrowed "Who are you? Slytherin Manor was lost centuries ago, I searched and searched for it but to no avail. If you found it then you rare an heir as well. Perhaps one of my decedents." he pondered.
Greed held up his ring "Correct, I am Lord of Slytherin house. As for being your decedent...that's a no, I'm actually the one who killed you years ago." he grinned.
Voldemort's eyes widened in shock once more "You're Harry Potter! How dare you claim my lordship and now my basilisk. I will kill you." he raged.
Greed rolled his eyes, he was about to retort when phoenix song rang out around the chamber. Looking up both watched in surprise as the small fire bird flew into the chamber and dropped the sorting hat in Greed's hands. Greed raised a brow but the bird only trilled once and disappeared in a burst of flames.
'Huh weird, what am I supposed to do with an old hat? Pull a fucking rabbit out of it?'
"So this is what Dumbledore sends his great champion? The old school hat?" Voldemort laughed holding his wand.
Greed ignored him as he studied the hat, seeing no other choice he shrugged and reached into the hat grasping for something. His brows rose in surprise when he touched cold metal, gripping the item within he tugged until a long silver blade. Greed's eyes sparkled with..well..greed.. as he studied the blade. There were egg sized rubies embedded in the hilt and down one side of the blade was were the words 'Godric Gryffindor'.
"Gryffindors sword? Impressive.." Greed whistled before his grin turned dark "And mine."
Pulling out another coin he portkeyed the sword into his vault and tucked the hat into his pocket.
Voldemort having finally gotten bored of being ignored growled under his breath and fired a few stunners. Greed brought his absolute defense out and allowed the spells to splash harmlessly against his skin. Voldemort snarled and began firing more spells, but all his spells simply splashed against the boy who just regarded him with a bored glance.
"You're going to need to do better than that if you want to take me out." Greed grinned cheekily.
Crying out in frustration Voldemort flicked his wand and shouted out
"Avada Kedavra"
His snarl turned into a smile when the spell his Harry directly in the chest and sent him flying backwards. The body landed next to Ginny's soon to be corpse and stayed still.
"Cocky brat, Now you're dead." He cackled. Only to stop short as red lightning arched up and down the teens body once more.
"Damn that still hurts like a bitch." Greed growled "Gotta keep my defense up next time."
"How are you alive? Ho one survives the killing curse!" Voldemort hissed angrily.
Greed raised a brow "Really?" He asked sarcastically "Cause I'm pretty sure I've done it twice before now."
Voldemort sputtered and took a step back for the first time he felt fear. Greed simply ignored him as he looked down at the book next to him.
"Hmm what have we here?" He asked with a dark grin grabbing the book. Voldemort's eyes widened when he saw this. "Looks like a..snack." Greed finished licking his lips.
Before Voldemort could do anything Greed grabbed the book and bit into it, rather than biting paper his teeth sunk into the soul fragment attached to the book and he bit off a piece. The specter of Voldemort screamed in pain as half his torso disappeared. Greed grinned darkly and took another bite of the soul fragment, Voldemort continued to scream and plead but Greed ignored him and continued feasting on the soul fragment until nothing was left.
With a final bite he swallowed the last of Voldemort's soul fragment.
"Mmmm tasty."
-OooO-
"Ginny!" Molly Weasley shouted hugging her daughter tightly and crying. Greed sneered at her before walking up to Dumbledores desk and dropping the hat and the book.
"The girl was possessed by the book, I killed the spirit inside and brought her back." He explained sending a glare at a nervous looking Lucius Malfoy, Malfoy returned the glare but Greed scoffed and looked away.
Dumbledore smiled at him kindly "What about the monster in the chamber Harry and how did you kill the spirit?"
"I didn't see any monster in the chamber, It's probably sleeping or something." Harry shrugged.
Dumbledore stroked his beard in thought as his eyes twinkled "And how did you kill the spirit Harry?" He asked.
"None of your business that's how." Greed snarled
The Weasleys gasped at the obvious disrespect while Dumbledore lost his twinkle.
"I must insist you tell me how you killed the creature Harry." he ordered in a stern tone.
Greed sneered at him "And I must insist you explain how you never noticed a dark object in the school or that one of you're own students was possessed."
Malfoy took this moment to jump in "Yes, why is that Albus? You should have been able to notice something like this."
As Dumbledore sputtered for an answer Greed slipped out of the office after giving Ginny a small wink.
'I don't have time for this shit.' He grumbled heading off to find his friends.
-OooO-
"See you next year Harry." Hermione whispered giving him a tight hug.
"See you in a few months Mione." Greed replied
The separated after a chaste kiss and Hermione headed off with her parents. Greed stalked over to the floo and grabbed some powder. The goblins had been handling some business for him during the school year, the most exciting one being the purchase of his new night club. It had taken some time to find the property in Knockturn but after building the place the club was a huge hit and was earning him a lot of profit, he would spend most of his time partying there for the summer. Throwing the powder in he stepped into the fire and announced his destination.
"The Devils Nest!"
