The Beginning of the Dark Duo
Harry sat at the dining hall table, waiting for the arrival of Lucius, Narcissa and their son, Draco. His father had told him that Draco would one day take his father's place as the right hand of the Dark Lord, should he prove worthy. With Harry one day to take the mantle of Dark Lord, Draco had best learn to obey Harry from a young age.
Harry watched as Lucius and his family were allowed into the hall by Mipsy and as they bowed to Voldemort, kissing the hem of his robes. Even Draco did, saying what an honour it was to be able to serve his master. Voldemort looked at them with a cold indifference, as Harry just stared at the simpering sycophantic attitudes of the Malfoy's.
"Thank you for inviting us My Lord." Lucius said as the Malfoy's took their places, he inclined his head towards Harry as well "Young Lord."
"Lord Malfoy." Harry said, dipping his head to the man and giving Draco a nod as well, before reaching over and kissing Narcissa's hand lightly "My lady."
The dinner went well and Harry learnt more about the Malfoy family and their business within the Ministry, helping the cause of the Dark in secret, with the world, or at least the Light, believing Lord Voldemort to be vanquished. Before long, Voldemort sent Harry out to show Draco the manor as he spoke with his loyal lieutenant and his wife.
Harry and Draco walked around the manor, with Harry showing him all around.
"So, you're the Dark heir?" Draco asked Harry, not meeting his eyes.
"Yeah I am." Harry said, looking at Draco pointedly.
"What's it like then? To be the son of Him." Draco asked, a gleam of hunger in his eyes.
"It's alright, I guess. Father teaches me many useful spells and how to act as one befitting my noble birth." Harry said with an air of superiority. Draco looked at him in amazement.
"You must know lots of spells then. Father has taught me, naturally, but nothing too much, it would look suspicious when I attend Hogwarts to be too far ahead. What about yourself, my Lord?" Draco said.
"I suppose so. Father has taught me enough to show how strong I am and has always taught me of my superiority compared to others." Harry said.
Draco and Harry walked throughout the manor, getting to know one another more, and before long, it was time for Draco to go home, his parents business with their Lord concluded, they would continue to work behind the scenes, ensuring word of the Dark Lord was not heard, that everyone believed him dead, whilst he trained his heir and recruited more to his cause, before finally destroying the Light for good.
Eventually Draco went home with his parents leaving Harry once more with his father.
"How was the Malfoy scion?" Voldemort asked his son, looking for any signs of what they had discussed. He could simply pluck it from his son's mind, but he had sworn he would never do that to his son, his son was loyal to him and always would be, Lord Voldemort was certain of that.
"He was well, Father. He spoke much and was immature, compared to myself, but overall, he was not unintelligent and will one day make a willing and good servant, able to take his father's place I believe." Harry said, biting his lip as he looked at his Father.
"A good observation Harry." His father praised "Draco may one day prove useful, but for now, he is petulant and I fear Lucius will not instil the morals I demand within him before he joins Hogwarts alongside yourself in a few years' time. Therefore, I am tasking you to bring Draco to heel and ensure he acts as is befitting to him and to yourself, as your servant, Draco will represent you."
"Servant? Me? Draco? Why Father?" Harry asked, looking at Voldemort with surprise. His Father never wanted to share power, why would he give Harry this assignment?
"You are my heir Harry, and one day, you will take the mantle as the Dark Lord. To do that, you must inspire loyalty and fear within your servants, and to do that, you need competent servants, who better to train them than yourself, so they are loyal to you?" Voldemort said. Of course they'd be loyal to him as well, and whilst Harry ran the public face of the Dark-led wizarding world, Voldemort would still rule from behind the scenes. Harry would also make a Horcrux one day, and he and Voldemort would rule the world for all time.
(AN: Sorry it took so long and sorry it probably isn't as good as you'd hope, but I'm wanting to progress the story still, one more chapter and then we go back to Privet Drive and the beginning of the canon)
