Hey Guys! I hope your enjoying this story. So you all know I will refer to Riddle being Tom around Harry, but in battles or around his Death Eaters he will be Voldemort or Lord. Same goes for Bellatrix. Around Harry she is Bella but around anyone else she is Bellatrix. Next chapter won't be up for a couple days or so. Please review and tell me what you think!!
Chapter Four – Bloodshed in Hogsmeade
Harry rolled around in his bed and opened his eyes as he felt something smooth moving on top and underneath him. He looked down at his stomach and found Nagini sliding around him. He looked around to see if he could see her head anywhere and then closed his eyes.
"I'm guessing Father is here?" Harry asked is Parseltongue."
"Yeses, master waits for young one to rise," Nagini said.
Harry sat up in his bed and waited for Nagini to slide off him before he stood up and stretched. He looked back and watched Nagini as she moved around on the bed. Pulling out some fresh clothes he quickly changed and locked his trunk back up. Saying a spell under his breath he watched his trunk turned into a tiny box the size of a peanut. Picking it up he placed it into his pocket and then picked up Nagini. He placed her around his neck and waited for her to get comfy before he made his way downstairs.
"Nagini did he say where he would be?" Harry asked.
"In the study," Nagini said. "He's not that pleased."
"Where is everyone?" Harry asked opening the door to the study.
"They are out," Tom said.
Harry stepped into the room and closed the door behind him. He watched as Tom picked a piece of paper off Lucius's desk before holding it out to him. He reached forward and touched the peace of paper and watched as Nagini moved down his arm to reach the paper. He was about to say something when he say noticed a black book sitting on Lucius's desk. Staring at it he noticed the name Riddle on the front of the book and was about to get a better look when he felt a tug around his stomach and soon found himself standing in the entrance way to the Riddle Mansion.
"Father, Harry began," I noticed your book on Lucius's desk. Why is it there?
"My book?" Tom asked.
"Yes, I think it was your diary," Harry said.
"That's nothing of importance," Tom said. "I was merely giving it to Lucius to look over for some old spells. Now come. We must talk."
"Uh oh," Nagini hissed.
Harry walked slowly behind Tom as they walked into the lounge. He looked around the room before he sat down on one of the couch's. He felt Nagini move of his shoulders and watched her slide her body along the couch before she reached the ground. She gave one final hiss towards Harry before she moved out of the room. He then felt turned to Tom who was finally sitting down across from him.
"What in the world made you become friends with a mudblood?" Tom asked.
"She's a nice girl," Harry said. "Like I said to Lucius. She's clever and might be helpful."
"That wrench will only get in your way," Tom said. "She'll soften your heart."
"No, she won't," Harry said. "I only want to be friends with her."
"You better hope nothing more come from this relationship Harry," Tom said. "I will not hesitate to kill her. Do you really want her death on your hands."
"Technically it would be yours," Harry said.
"You know what I mean," Tom snapped. "If she starts to ask questions or something more develops. She will disappear one night. Is that clear?"
"Yes," Harry said.
"Go to your room," Tom said. "I have a meeting. Then you will be called down later and we will discuss our plans to attack Hogsmeade."
"Don't you think that's a little close to Hogwarts and Dumbledore?" Harry asked.
"No, " Tom said. "I have my reason. Now get!"
Harry wondered out of the room and down the hall till he met Nagini. He gave her a playful kick before he ran upstairs as she hissed and tried to bit him. Laying his trunk on the floor once he made it its full size he walked over and sat on his bed. He looked at the ring he was wearing and wondered why his Father had given this ring to him. He didn't know how long he sat there till Bella came walking into his room.
"Come on Harry," she said.
Harry got off his bed and followed her downstairs and into a sitting room. He looked around and found Severus and Tom were the only ones in there. He was about to turn around and see if Bella was coming in when she pushed him inside and shut the door behind him. Looking at Tom for a moment he quickly sat down.
"Alright Harry," Tom began. "We will be leaving tomorrow night. We will attack at both the north and south ends of the village and meet in the middle where we will work our way towards the trail up to Hogwarts. You will remain with Severus at all times."
"Alright," Harry said. "Seems a little too easy."
"Trust me," Severus said. "It won't be."
Harry looked over at Severus and noticed he seemed a little nervous. Bitting the inside of his cheek he looked back over at Tom who was getting himself a drink.
"Is this all?" Harry asked.
"No," Tom said. "I heard you were spying on Lucius. What did you hear from them?"
"Nothing really," Harry said.
"What exactly did you hear?" Tom said turning his red eyes to Harry.
Harry looked into the deep pores for a moment. "Just something about a dog."
"You will ignore everything he was talking about," Tom said. "He was just talking about Regulus Black and how's he's been sniffing around lately."
"I thought he was died," Harry said.
"No, "Tom said. "You better go take the day away."
Harry looked over at Severus again and found he was still a little nervous. Shrugging it off he got up and left the room. He spent a lovely evening eating dinner with Bella before he finally decided to go to sleep. The following day Harry was running through some old Dark Art books looking for some spells when he came across a spell that separated one's soul. He was about to read more when suddenly the page was snapped shut.
"Get your junk," Bella said. "It's time. What the hell were you doing anyways?"
Grabbing his cloak from a chair nearby he walked over to her. "Nothing."
He listened to Bella snort before she grabbed him and the two apparated to the south end of Hogsmeade. He looked around to see if Draco and Lucius were around but found neither of them present. Pulling his hood onto his face he watched the Death Eaters around him as they pulled their white masks over their face. He remembered when he asked Tom about himself wearing a mask.
Flashback
"Father," Harry began. "How come everyone else wears a mask. Don't I get one?"
"No, Harry," Tom said. "You do not."
"Why not?" Harry asked. "Am I not one of your followers?"
"You are in a sense Harry," Tom said. "But since you are my equal you shall not wear a mask nor shall you ever carry the Death Eater Mark on you."
"Equal?" Harry asked.
"Yes, equal," Tom said. "My equal as I am your equal."
"What do you mean?" Harry asked.
"Nothing," Tom said. "Now stop asking questions. Go see Nagini."
End of Flashback
He watched as the first row of Death Eaters made their way into the small village before he moved with Bella and Severus around him. It didn't take long before wizards were running all over the place. He just watched as Bella sent killing curses off towards random people. Wondering how lame his part in this was as he made his blue shield come up again. He then noticed a woman he thought he recognized as someone who sold him his first wand but after her head was blasted of her body he decided he didn't know her at all.
By the time the reached the trail towards Hogwarts half of Hogsmeade was on fire. He counted about fifth teen dead and wondering how many died from the north side. He watched as Dumbledore appeared with s group of members who he heard Tom call the Order of the Phoenix. He watched each person over and noticed one was professor. He then turned to a man with long black hair and gray eyes and stepped forward a little trying to get a better look at him. For some odd reason he felt he knew that man from somewhere. He was about to move a little closer when he felt Severus grabbed his arm.
"Idiot," Severus said. "What are you doing?"
"Nothing," Harry said.
Severus pulled Harry back beside Bella as Voldemort stepped forward. Harry listened as he talked to Dumbledore about saving the precious mudbloods and then watched as they began to duel. Then before he knew it everyone was running towards and away from spells. He stepped to the left as a stunning spell fly past his face. He was about to shout something back when a slicing spell went by him and he felt some blood ripping down his face. Lifting his hand he pressed it against his cheek and felt the warm blood coming out of his skin. Flinching a little he moved his hand away and then looked around him.
He watched as Bella fought with the man who he thinks she called Black before watching Lupin and Severus fight. He watched their moves and noticed that they were going a little easy on each other before looking over at Voldemort. He was about to shout something when he saw a flash of green coming towards him. Placing his hands up his blue shield rose up from the ground and blocked the spell. He could feel it trying to push forward and was about to let go when another spell came flying at him. He was so busy trying to keep the killing curse out he didn't have time to stop the second one.
He felt a sudden pain in his chest and soon found blood hitting his face and his hands. Feeling his air sticking in his chest he watched as another spell came at him just as his blue shield disappeared. He felt another searing pain on his chest and this time his arms as well and then found himself flying back into the wall outside Hogsmeade. Trying to regain his footing he stumble forward a little and winced when he felt his skin being pulled from under his soaked robes. He took another step forward and looked around and found Bella trying to get back to him. He could hear someones voice ringing in the distant as he felt himself feeling a little dizzy.
Taking another step forward he tripped and almost hit the ground when he felt someones arm around his waist. He tried to look up and see but he only saw the white mask. The man pulled him closer to his body and he sucked in a breath as the pain swept through his chest. Leaning back into the person behind him he felt his hood being pulled back over his face. Oh that wasn't good. Harry thought and then laughed at himself. Then he heard a voice near his ear.
"Hang on," Severus said. "I'll get you out of here and up to Hogwarts. Your bleeding bad so hold on."
Harry nodded his head and closed his eyes and just let Severus take him wherever he was going. He opened his eyes one last time as saw the fighting slowly getting farther and farther away as he disappeared into the Forbidden Forest. He heard Severus's voice again but it soon was clouded by silence as Harry tried to keep his eyes open. Taking in one more deep breath and wincing when he felt the pain hit him again Harry gave into the darkness that had been threatening to take him.
Severus looked down at Harry and groaned. Stupid boy. He quickly picked Harry up into his arms and took off towards Hogwarts. He could hear the battle slowly disappearing from hearing sight as he reached Hogwarts. He ran down the long corridors and kicked open his door and then placed Harry down in his bed. Looking down at his own blood covered clothes. He quickly muttered some healing spells and then grabbed some potions before setting to work of forcing them down Harry's throat as he continued to heal his wounds.
