A/N I didn't put it in the earlier warning but this story contains foul language. Sorry it took so long. was giving me problems. My story wouldn't show up when I tried to add the chapter.

The Last Hope

Chapter Four

When Harry awoke he nearly pissed on himself. Staring directly three feet in front of him were the glowing red eyes of Voldemort.

"Nice of you to join us Mr. Potter."

Harry groaned. Voldemort was surrounded by fifteen or so Death Eaters who looked ready to curse he head off. Could his life get any worse.

"What do want Voldemort?" his voice was stilled hoarse and cracked.

"Like I said before Mr. Potter. It is you who called for anyone to help you. I just thought I'd answer your call." The evil Dark Lord smiled at the boy.

"And you think I'm just going to believe you rescued me out of the goodness of your heart. I ought to…"

"Ought to what Mr. Potter?" Voldemort interrupted, "At this moment you are bound to a chair in my Manor surrounded by my Inner Circle. You have no wand not to mention nowhere to go. What do you plan on doing?"

Harry stopped to think for a moment. He was tied tightly to a chair and could not see a way of escape. Even if he did escape, he had no place to escape to. He was a fugitive after all, and he didn't seem too keen to running to his friends the moment.

"That's right Mr. Potter. Everyone has abandoned you and left you to rot. I am the only one who came to you.

"You were just the one who made it first. My friends may have thought of rescuing me." Harry was grasping now.

"That may be so, but I was informed that your precious Order has no plan to rescue you. In fact, don't you think that if you were to be rescued, Dumbledore or your friends would have said or done something at the trial" Tom spit out the words Dumbledore and friends like they were some kind of poison.

Harry thought back on the looks he had received at the trial and Dumbledore's cold shoulder. Voldemort may have been right about his friends and the Order. Of course he wasn't going tell him that.

"There's no need to tell me Potter, I know I'm right," Voldemort said with a frightening smile.

"Get out of my head you prick!" He yelled defiantly.

"How dare you disrespect the Dark Lord," came a wild high pitched female voice, "Crucio."

Harry thrashed wildly in his chair. He bit his bottom lip to keep from screaming. He would not scream in a room full of Death Eaters.

"Enough Bellatrix," Voldemort yelled, "I told you that you are not to hurt him."

Voldemort turned and Crucioed the female Death Eater. It made Harry smile just a little to see the bitch who killed his godfather writhe in pain.

"Enjoying the show Mr. Potter?" Voldemort ended the curse and turned to Harry again.

Harry's smile turned into a glare and he sneered at the snake-faced man. Then he thought for a moment.

"If you wanted to save me so bad, then why did you take so long?" He asked while still glaring up at the man.

"Well," Voldemort began circling his captive, "I was recruiting and wreaking havoc of course. Without you in my way I did a lot of damage I might add. Besides you were only there for a few days. I felt that you needed to think about your choice of allies."

"You think I'm going to join a slimy bastard like you," Harry spat, "I'm not going to serve your ugly ass and kiss your robes like one of your pitiful Shit Eaters."

If those Death Eaters didn't want to kill him before, they definitely did now. Every masked figure in the room had their wands pointed at Harry with a nasty curse on their lips. Voldemort just smiled.

"Such language Harry. I know you join in time. Not as my servant but as my equal. There is great power in you and together as Dark Lords we can take over both the Magical and Non-Magical worlds." The man was looking straight into his eyes now and holding is chin.

"Fat chance asshole, and don't call me Harry. I'm supposed to kill you and that is exactly what I'm going to do. After that, I'll get revenge on everyone else."

Voldemort laughed along with the Death Eaters.

"And how may I asked will you do that Mr. Potter."

"None of your business, you prat" Harry spat in Voldemort's face and wrenched he head away. Voldemort strengthened his hold and glared back at Harry angrily.

"Listen Potter," his nails bit into Harry's cheeks, "You have no choice. Either you join me or you die. No one wants you anymore Harry not even your precious Dumbledore. You have been cast out like a piece of trash. The only one who wants you now is me. I'm giving you a chance at great power, Potter. If you don't want it then I shall kill you."

"Go ahead and kill me then you bastard."

"Such courage Mr. Potter," Voldemort raised is wand to Harry's scar, "Crucio."

Harry thrashed once more. This time he bit clean through his lip and began to scream. Three minutes passed by before Voldemort lifted the curse. He waved his hand and Harry fell out of the chair and crashed to the ground gasping in pain.

"Take him to the dungeons and put him in a cell surrounded by Muggles," Voldemort ordered one of his Death Eaters. He then stalked out of the room, robes billowing behind him.

Harry felt himself being levitated to the dungeons. When he got there he was place in cell next to three Muggle families. They all cowered to the corners of their cells when they saw the men in robes come in.

"Enjoy your stay here Potter." It was Nott. "Crucio."

The curse wasn't held long, but it was enough to make Harry scream and the Muggles jump.

After the Death Eater left Harry promptly passed out in his cell. Whoever said things couldn't get worse had never met Harry Potter.


Albus Dumbledore sat in his office contemplating the last few days' events. After Harry had been sent to Azkaban, Voldemort and his Death Eaters increased their attacks ten-fold. In just three days all of Britain –Muggle and Magical- had been in a stage of panic. One could not go ten miles without seeing the Dark Mark glowing horribly bright green in the sky.

None of this would be happening if that brat hadn't of gone and ruined his plans. He specifically told Harry to lay low and still the boy disobeyed him. All his hard work was flushed down the drain as soon as Potter cast the killing curse on his uncle. He had everything laid out; make Harry befriend only Light supporters, so that he despised everything that had to do with the Dark side, keep him shut away in relatives' abusive house, so that he thought of Hogwarts as his only home and trusted the Headmaster blindly, put him through all of those trials to make into the perfect warrior.

But no, that wasn't enough for the boy. Just because his pitiful godfather died he had to become a rebel. Now the stupid child had gone and messed things up for everyone. He couldn't possibly use the boy now. He had to find another weapon fast before the Ministry came banging down his door once more. Fudge had already been asking him how he was to replace Harry and find another Savior.

Perhaps he could use the Longbottom child. Yes, the boy had many reasons to hate the Dark Side. Once he unblocked the Neville's powers he would start to train and mould him. This time he wouldn't make the previous mistakes he had with Potter and Riddle. No, this time the secrets would stay secrets and his hold would be stronger.

Dumbledore threw some floo powder into the fire with a smile. He would call an Order meeting and this he would invite Augusta Longbottom along with her sweet grandson.

He would not lose this war. He would do whatever it took to come out on top.


A/N Okay so I included Dumbledore in this one and I tried not to make it too long. As you may have noticed Dumbledore is definitely not going to be a good guy in this fic. Well, neither are a lot of people on the Light Side. Most of them as you read from the trial are going to completely turn on him and Dumby already looking for a new pawn. This does seem a little unrealistic but I can't help it sometimes the corny unbelievable stuff just burst out of me. It will make sense in the future though. I hate long explanations so most things will be revealed in pieces

I will be including Remus and maybe Snape in the next chapter. Voldemort's POV will be coming soon.

Some might say that Harry was a little OOC with the cursing, but after Sirius death I kind of pictured Harry as a rebel ready burst out, so he will cursing along with a lot of others, Voldie included.

Thank You everyone for your reviews. Without them I would not have posted this today- night actually.

Please keep them coming. My brain needs encouragement every once in a while.
