Chapter 6
**********CONTINUE WITH FLASHBACK*********
~~~~~Harry POV~~~~~
I head over to the property edge of Riddle Manor where Dolohov is waiting for me. I wear a set of muggle cloths, one of Voldemort's followers supplied me. Having left all my possessions at Hogwarts since being captured, I have had none my old things except what has been given to me here. There is also no school trunk for me to take since it has remained at Hogwarts. When trying to pack my new possessions in an overnight bag I found, Voldemort prohibited me to bring my new robes he gave me as well as the new terms school books I have studied over my time spent here. I believe it was due to him not wanting to raise more suspicion of our relationship.
Our relationship…
I can't stop thinking of what happened last night. THE Dark Lord actually kissed me, Harry of all people. I'm really confused about how to feel about this. Yes, his forwardness caught me off guard, but it felt nice to have someone so close. When dating Ginny, we had kissed multiple times but it never felt like this kiss before. It was as though our magical cores came together, lighting a fire inside of me…
STOP! I shouldn't be thinking of this now. I need to prepare for my mission. I haven't even thought of what I would tell Dumbledore when I return to school. He and the others need to be fooled…
Shaking my head and taking a deep breath, I reach the landing where Dolohov is standing. He wears his Death Eater robes (no change there) and stands straight and tall. Noticing my approach, he nods. Well, that's better than a scowl.
"Your late, Potter."
"Sorry, I was just—"
He rolls his eyes. "We need to leave now before your classmates reach the gates."
I walk forward and glance at an old prophet outstretched in Dolohov's hand. Guess we're are taking a portkey. Reaching out, I touch it. We instantly transport.
The next second, I am standing on a gravel path that's leads to the Hogwarts gate. Looking to my side, Dolohov is fixing his robes. After adjusting himself, he starts forward. I jog to catch up, and then walk by his side.
We don't speak to one another for a few minutes. After I see the gate ahead, Dolohov puts his hand on my shoulder to signal me to stop. Looking up at him, he speaks.
"You must stay on task and keep watch over Dumbledore. Stay alert and be patient. It will be a month or two before the Dark Lord is ready to gather his forces. Do not disappoint him if you know what is good for you."
I have given Voldemort my entire being. How could I fail him when I will do anything he commands without question. He is the one person I can trust. These fools of the light have done nothing to help me. They used me to their own advantage. No, I will never allow myself to disappoint my Lord. I will serve him if and till the day I die for his cause…for our cause.
Glaring at him, I reply. "I will not fail."
He continues to stare at me. After moving his gaze to my scare, he takes a step back. "Let us hope not." He then disapparates.
