Harry nodded he knew it was true but he didn't have to like it. Snuggling further into the bed and Draco's side the green eyed teen finally found a good position and began to drift off into sleep. The last thing he murmured before sleep totally claimed him was; "I love you Draco with all my heart."

He was already asleep when Draco replied with equal love and adoration in his tone and sleepy grey eyes. Lucius Malfoy found his son and Harry ten minutes later when the privacy shield fell due to their obvious lack of concentration.

All the Malfoy Lord could do was smile at his son and Harry; they would be good together, like him and Severus. A feral hungry smirk was on the older blonde's face as he left the library to track down his dour and snarky lover of over twenty years.

~~~~~********Chapter 10*******~~~~~

The Dark Lord sat in his study, perusing a copy of the morning edition of the Daily Prophet. The front page of the paper featured his apprentice's picture as well as Skeeter's article. He could not help but smirk when he thought of the response from Dumbledore and his cronies.

Too bad he would not see it maybe Severus would have a pensieve memory to show him at some point. Many would wonder why Voldemort had decided to allow Harry to declare his side so openly.

It was quite simple really the entire wizarding world of Britain expected Harry to stand against him. If Harry denounced the Light and followed the Dark Lord instead than most people would become disheartened and less likely to stand against his Death Eaters.

With less resistance against his side Voldemort could enact other plans and machinations regarding politics and the goings on in the British wizarding world. The Ministry was already in his hand, after the pure-blood higher ups had listened to Voldemort's true plans they had come to the decision to aid his cause covertly.

Before long the pure-bloods had begun to curry support among other Ministry workers in favor of Voldemort's plans and ideals. Of course the people the pure-bloods turned had no clue they were actually agreeing with the Dark Lord's plans but what these people didn't know wouldn't hurt them...yet.

However, now that he had publicly declared himself alive in Skeeter's article he had to begin making plans for getting himself cleared and legally able to sit on the Wizengamot and Hogwarts Board as Lord Slytherin.

Another perk was even though he had proven Dumbledore to be correct in his claims that the Dark Lord was resurrected he had undercut the old man's credibility; once people read what the old coot did to Harry they wouldn't care a fig if Dumbledore was right all along in regards to Voldemort being back.

The people would only care that the aged Headmaster had stolen from and allowed their savior to be mistreated. Which as read in the article was the main reason Harry left the Light for the Dark. Oh yes the sheep would not be happy with their shepherd after this article and more of them would be willing to listen to the Dark Lord's words before they judged him so harshly based only on Dumbledore's words.

The crimson eyed man truly did want to make the wizarding world better, over the last forty years they had fallen into decline. Nothing was being discovered as the British magical populace was content how things were so why would they want to investigate new and better ways to do things.

It was sickening to see; while Voldemort despised muggles he could still admire their ingenuity and creativity. The muggles were always striving to make things better or faster than they were before.

The Dark Lord remembered how London was in the 1950's and it was nothing like it was today. It was astonishing that less than fifty years later that so much had changed; just imagine what could be done to the magical world if great magical minds began to explore and experiment.

Shaking out of his thoughts the Dark Lord turned to another interesting piece of information he had obtained by accident; it seemed he and Harry were more connected than he had once thought. The skeletal man had always believed that Harry and he were connected by the cursed scar, which was the reason why he could send Harry visions.

However, the Dark Lord now noticed that Harry's scar reacted to him when Voldemort was feeling extreme emotions; anger being the most fearsome and frequent. He had been shocked to see Harry fall to his knees during a prior Death Eater meeting, his lightening scar leaking blood while Voldemort crucio'd a Death Eater for failing an assigned task.

The most feared wizard since Grindelwald had felt his heart stop when he saw his apprentice fall to the ground in pain while the emerald eyed teen clutched his scarred forehead. He had immediately stopped casting the Cruciatus curse on his follower and moved quickly to pick up Harry's slumped form.

When Voldemort made it to his study he had placed Harry's slightly shaking body down on the couch gently, observing the younger male carefully. That was the moment when the Dark Lord had shockingly realized that Harry Potter had become his surrogate son.

That realization was quite disturbing to the cruel wizard; he had never wanted a family, anyone to care for, or anyone to care for him in return. It seemed fate had different plans for him when Harry Potter dropped into his meeting room all those weeks ago; somehow the ex-savior had weaseled his way into the Dark Lord's dead heart.

Sighing loudly Voldemort pulled himself out of his wayward thoughts once again, glancing back at the folded Prophet on his desk. He really needed to focus on the connection between the young male and himself; the only reasonable and disturbing explanation was that somehow Harry was another one of his Horcruxes.

How it had happened Voldemort could only speculate but his logical conclusion was the only plausible explanation. Somehow on the night when Harry should have died, but Voldemort was forced from his body a piece of the Dark Lord's already fractured soul was inexplicably pulled free from his wraith like form and absorbed into Harry's body.

It was an unforeseeable turn of events and it made the Dark Lord nervous; did Dumbledore know of this? Yes the old coot probably did. That explained why the Headmaster wanted Harry to be the one to face Voldemort. The aged man would kill two birds with one stone; taking down the Dark Lord and eliminating his now useless savior.

It was a brilliant plan even Voldemort could admit that but it would not come to pass now; Harry had seen to that. Now that the Potter male was on his side none of the Headmaster's plans would come to fruition. Although Harry being his accidental Horcrux and Dumbledore's possible knowledge of this fact was concerning but not overly so.

Eventually he would have to have a conversation with his young charge about his possession of one of Voldemort's soul pieces; there were only two solutions the Dark Lord could think of for this issue. The first was Voldemort reabsorbing the soul piece but to do that he would have to express remorse and that was something the Dark Lord didn't know if he was capable of.

The second possibility was that Harry continues to house the piece of his soul, remaining his Horcrux. This option raised its own complications for no one had ever made a human into a Horcrux so the technicalities were unknown. The other draw back was that if Harry died so did Voldemort's soul piece and that was unacceptable to the crimson eyed man.

It won't do to think to heavily on this until he spoke to his charge and with Draco returning to Hogwarts today Voldemort would not see Harry until tomorrow morning at the earliest. That left plenty of time for planning other goals such as allowing Harry to assume his Lordship early, attending Wizengamot and Hogwarts' Board of Governor meetings.

Of course another trip to Gringotts would be in order to obtain Harry's emancipation but it would be worth it to the Dark side of the war. From what Voldemort understood Harry commanded at least nine votes due to his Potter Lineage, being named the Black heir and votes that were willed to him by dead wizards with no heirs or surviving family left.

Lucius would have to escort his surrogate son to meet with the goblins seeing as Voldemort could not step foot in Diagon Ally without causing a ruckus. Once the emancipation was signed Harry could assume his Lordships and begin voting for new policies and proposing changes to existing laws.

The Dark would finally have enough votes to push through vital pieces of legislation, all of which benefitted the wizarding world and magical people. None of the sponsored laws or bills gave any favor to muggleborns or muggle raised half-bloods; if you wanted to live in the magical world you should adjust to fit it. No longer would the magical world with centuries of tradition change to fit muggleborns.

A malicious smirk was on the thin lips of the Dark Lord's snakelike visage, one day soon when the Ministry was totally under his control Voldemort would take his votes back and join the Wizengamot; by doing so the final nail would be delivered to the Light's coffin.

While many believed Voldemort planned to wage a bloody horrible war the Dark Lord had no interest in spilling more magical blood than he had to. Don't get him wrong he would do what he had to win but no more force would be used than was necessary. He was after all a skilled orator, capable of wooing and swaying people to his whims, why would he need torture when his words accomplished so much more?

A chuckle left him as he stood, making his way out of his study in search of a certain Malfoy Lord. Voldemort had orders for the blonde regarding his ward and he wanted them completed as soon as possible.

Too much was at stake for them to dally with unimportant matters, if everything went well soon Voldemort would have the wizarding world in the palm of his hand; if he would cradle it or crush it was anyone's guess and that fact sent a thrill of power through the Dark Lord's thin frame.

There we are; I know Harry already went to Gringotts but he only received financial information. Next chapter Harry's legally free and making moves while giving Dumbledore the finger! : )

Sorry if it was a bit short; I wanted to get something out for you all.
