The James look-alike bowed low to Harry. "Give me an order, any order, and I shall fulfill it."

Harry smiled slightly as he quietly gave his order, so quietly the Order wasn't able to hear it. The look-alike smiled as well as he raised his arm and swung it downward. In a blast of black colored magic the entire Order found them outside.

"Who was that man?" McGonagall asked. "What has happened Albus?"

Dumbledore sighed. "It appears that Harry is more dark than we had thought."

"More dark than you had thought?" Sirius sputtered. "You were just about to sacrifice him!"

"It was for the Greater Good my boy." Dumbledore said. "Certain sacrifices must be made."

"You can take your Greater Good and stuff it up your-" Sirius started to snarl before being interrupted by Kingsley who exclaimed "The house!"

The entire Order turned towards the house that now had smoke coming from it.

"That's impossible." Moody breathed. "A house of magic can't be burned."

"Demon." Dumbledore said. "The man is a demon that Mr. Potter has summoned. Their abilities are far greater and more mysterious than ours."

Mrs. Wealsey was clutching her husband's hands tightly. "Harry is still in there."

Before any of them could say anything a figure was leaving the house. With the fires raging higher in the background, yet bowing low to the ground when the figure walked by, it gave off an otherworldly look.

The demon was holding Harry in his arms stepped out of the house and regarded the people in front of him carefully.

"Master." he said, his voice like silk. "What will you have me do with them?"

Harry was pressed against the demons chest slightly and protectively. "For now, nothing."

Dumbledore stepped forward. "Harry I was hoping to avoid something like this. Please stop your descent into the dark by giving this demon into my control."

Harry laughed. "Your control? And let you continue to control me like I'm your puppet? Not anymore. I'm through with playing your game."

Harry turned to the demon. "This is an order, until the day our control is fulfilled you will guard my life completely."

The demon bowed its head. "Of course, my lord."

"Good." Harry said. "Now, take me to my home."

"Your aunt and uncle-" Dumbledore started to say only for Harry to interrupt "I mean my real home, the one my parents left for me."

In the blink of an eye the demon disappeared, taking Harry with him.


When Harry opened his eyes he was surrounded by darkness and a large blanket.

The curtains were pulled back to reveal the demon James look-alike. He tied the curtains to the side before he began to pull clothes from the drawers.

"You have slept ever since our arrival which totals into nearly eighteen hours." he said. "It is the afternoon of the next day and I have prepared an appropriate lunch, forgive me for saying this however I made several servings. You are simply too small and thin for human liking."

Harry didn't say anything as he sat on the edge of the bed and allowed the demon to begin to undress him.

"Why do you look like my father?" Harry suddenly asked as he lifted his arms to get rid of the shirt.

"I took this form because I had believed this would be the one that is more pleasing to you." the demon said. His hair started to grow suddenly and lighten slightly as the entire body changed.

Lily potter smiled at him.

"Would you prefer this form master?" she asked, her voice sounding warm and maternal.

Harry froze before his eyes narrowed and he snarled "Change back."

The demon shrugged as he changed into his previous form as he continued to dress Harry.

"Sorry for being rude but what do I call you?" Harry asked.

"If you intend to reach the end of our contract you will have to stop apologizing for your actions." the demon said. "Never doubt yourself or bring yourself as low as saying 'I'm sorry.' And I have no name, call me what you wish."

The demon took Harrys legs and slid them into boots before Harry said "James."

"Pardon?"

"You have the look, why not have the name?" Harry said. "From now on I will call you James."

James smiled and finished lacing the boots before he lifted the eye patch that had been sitting on the side table. He placed it against the marked eye and tied it behind his head.

"Come, lunch is waiting."


"A house this big, even with my abilities, I shall require assistance." James said as he poured Harry more water.

"I have a house-elf that would be more than willing to help." Harry said as he ate.

"There is no need for a house-elf." James said. "I myself have lower demons as my on servants, they will fit the need perfectly. I even have forms in mind for them."

Harry looked up at the older man. "Can you tell me about demons?"

"Rephrase, once again. To reach the end of the contract that you desire then demand what you want." James said. "Now ask the correct way."

Harry thought for a moment before he hesitantly said "Tell me?"

"You must demand it master."

Harry straightened in his seat and demanded "Tell me about demons."

James smiled once more. "Better. Now what do you want to know?"

"Everything."

"I will start easy." James said. "There are quite a bit of studies that I must teach you."

"Demons do not age, they reach a certain time and they stop. They can also take any form that they wish besides their true demon form. Those forms are the ones where we are the most powerful." he said. "Our magic is more powerful than any other. Your simple magic words and incantations have no effect on us."

"If given an order we will fulfill it regardless of what gets in our way." he continued. "No one would ever be able to stop us."

"And the reason that you yourself would low yourself to becoming my servant?" Harry asked.

James smiled hungrily at Harry. "The reward that I will get at the end when our contract is fulfilled is more than enough compensation."

Harry rubbed his chest where his heart is. He could still feel the sensation of the knife being thrusted into his chest killing him.

"Now then master." James said. "What will you do about those who have attempted to kill you?"

Harry smiled. "Invite them to dinner."

"Shall I add the poison before or during desert?"

Harry shook his head. "No poison, I'm not going to kill them just yet. I want them to know just what they have done with betraying me."


Dumbledore turned the invitation over in his long fingers once more.

An invitation was extended to the entire Order for dinner in two days times at the Potter Mansion.

The moment he had realized where Harry had been going he had attempted to follow only to find that he had been blocked from the mansion that he had always been able to enter even with the deaths of Lily and James.

To summon a demon was a severe dark magic. A demon in itself was a dark being and one of most unknown creatures.

And now someone as dark as Harry had control of a demon.

He sighed in disappointment. Harry had so much potential in him however now he had decided to use his magic for the dark side.

There might still be a chance for Harry to be returned to the light side and then once he did his plan could continue.

I don't own Harry Potter.
