I'm sorry to all of you. I should have had this out a long time ago. I've just been so busy.
Rose Haven: Oh, he will. And the old man will get worse before his demise.
Reader-anonymous-writer: *Smile.*
Stormshadow13: Thank you.
Love, Keta.
Chapter 11: Where We Shall Be Unified
Harry's POV
I sit down next to Luna and rub at my face with the heal of my hand. She smiles in her odd way, knowing and strangely mocking. She knows I have a major headache from keeping my Occlumency shields up at full strength all of the time.
"You don't need them up now, Harry."
"Yes, I do. I'll always need them."
"No you don't. No one who's a threat to you is here."
"How can you be so sure?"
"The nargles told me."
Knowing that I'll get no real answers from her now, I just nod. With a yawn, I lay my head on the table. "I need a nap."
"Then take one. History of Magic doesn't mean much after all."
I'm speechless for a second as I try to process what she has said. "I'd never expect you to say that."
"I'm an enigma. You will never figure me out!" She then gives a parody of an evil villain's laugh, mastering the strange sounding cackle.
I chuckle lightly under my breath and raise my hand to cover it. As I slip my arm underneath my head for support, she begins to rub at my back, and my eyes fall closed.
Voldemort POV
'Harry.'
'Nnrg… sleeping.'
'I know. That's why I'm here.'
'But… sleeping…'
'Harry.'
'Sleeping… shh…'
'Harry!'
'What?! I'm tired, Tom.'
'Why?'
'Occlumency shields… draining me… I need… sleeping…'
'Just answer one question for me.'
'What?'
'Would you like to help me this weekend?'
'With what~?'
'I'm planning a raid.'
'At where~?'
'Hogsmead. I can kidnap you for a little while…'
'Is that just a ploy for you to try and get me in bed?'
'And if it is?'
'You better make it good, Tom Marvolo Riddle!'
It's up to all of you whether this becomes a M-rated story!
