Chapter 4

After an elf had shown Harry to his quarters which consisted of a bedroom and bathroom along with a small sitting area with a fully stocked desk, he had quickly showered and changed into the black robes that were now lying on his bed before he nearly fell over from pain as Voldemort sent a message via their link.

"Report to the hall now"

Harry quickly made his way out the door and walked as fast as he could without seeming alarmed to the hall, when suddenly he ran into one person he would have very much liked to avoid.

"Bellatrix" he said quickly not wanting to keep the Dark Lord waiting.

"Potter what are you doing, trying to escape" with that she pulled out her wand, but before she could utter a curse, the voice of her lord and master rose up from inside the Great Hall.

"He is not trying to escape, and I would prefer it if you do not make my new apprentice keep me waiting." His voice carrying the hint that this would be a very good way to get crucioed by him.

"Yes My lord I apologize" with that she ran off and Harry entered the hall.

"My lord" he said bowing slightly irritated at the fact that he had to call him his lord

"Sit down" Voldemort said pointing to a chair right across the table from him on which Harry could see a pensieve.

"Do you know what this is Harry?" he said pointing at the basin

"A pensieve master" he replied "used for storing thoughts and memories so that they may be viewed at a later time."

"Excellent Harry, I take it you've used one before.

"Twice sir, once with memories of Death Eater trials, and another of Snape's personal memories of after his OWL Examination."

"Good then I do not have to waste time telling you how to use it." For some reason though he set it aside.

"That is for later however, as I will not be using it for the purposes of our meeting today, now I presume you remember from our encounter in the Ministry that I decided to possess you," at Harry's nod he continued, "what we will be attempting is to allow me to do that without either making your scar burst open in pain, causing you a major distraction, or allowing something to accidentally throw me out like what happened at the Ministry, in order to do that I have decided that it would be prudent to go through memories of yours through legillimency, as that will allow me to not only see the memory but know perfectly how you felt at the time, so that I may know how your mind works and can hopefully enter without causing you distraction."

"Alright sir, but may I ask that these memories are kept between us."

Voldemort pondered this for a minute, while he didn't want to seem easy going with the boy this might be a good way to speed up the process as the boy still didn't trust him, so he decided on a compromise.

"I will not share any memories that pertain to your personal life, however I will if I wish speak about events that you have been in such as our battle for the Sorcerer's Stone for example, or things that will help me defeat my enemies."

"Thank you master." Harry replied

"Good, now let us begin, Legillimens" Voldemort said and memories came to the surface of Harry's mind unbidden.

A five year old Harry watched miserably through the slot on the door of his cupboard as the Dursleys enjoyed themselves opening presents and eating a wonderful Christmas dinner while he was sitting in his cramped cupboard trying to ignore the pain from his broken shoulder that he had received from his drunken uncle the night before. He felt immense jealousy as he saw Dudley receive a new play set on top of twenty other gifts while all he had received was a used tissue.

It was a year later and Harry decide to ask what had happened to his parents, in response his uncle had beat him before responding that they were drunken freaks that died due to their own stupidity.

This time Harry was in a classroom for and was told by the teacher in front of the class that he had received the highest score on the test, when he got home and Dudley whined about it to his parents Harry was again beaten and from then on he always made sure to do worse than Dudley.

A/N- sorry if the memories didn't go that far into detail on the abuse but I just can't and don't want to go into large detail on the beating part so if you're into hearing that for some reason just use your imagination, memories will now just be a list of book incidents until the final memory

A/N- list over, now you get to see why Harry was willing to join Voldemort and why he hasn't really doubted the claim that he is keeping Voldemort alive

During the ride back on the Hogwarts Express Harry got up to use the bathroom, however when he got back to his compartment he could hear his friends talking about him so he decided to listen in.

"How much longer do we have to keep this up Hermione," he heard Ron say.

"Only until Voldemort uses the information from Snape to grab Harry and kill him off, so hopefully not anymore after we get off the train." Hermione replied.

Harry couldn't believe this, they had been lying to him for years it seemed, just then Ginny joined in;

"I can't wait to see old Snake Face's face when Dumbledore tells him Harry was one of his precious horcruxes, and that Snape fooled him."

"It'll be hitting two birds with one stone really," Ron said "We won't have to deal with Potter anymore, and Voldie's going to be one step closer to death."

Harry couldn't take it anymore he turned and stormed off, found a private compartment and just broke down.
