Hope you guys will continue to enjoy the story!

The rooms they had been provided with inside of the school had been well furnished. Voldemort was pleased with them and also with the access he would have to the Library as an official guest. He was still on edge about being so close to Dumbledore…but he was relieved that he would be closer to Harrison during the last Tasks of the Tournament. He turned his attention to his youngest consort. Harry was still recovering so he wanted to make sure that he was safely settled in for the night.

Lucius and Narcissa would both be arriving soon, however they had not been invited to stay at Hogwarts since they had a residence of their own. He was glad they would be nearby though in case he or his consorts needed them. He gently caressed his fingers through Harry's hair and said "I think it is time for you to rest little serpent. We have had a very busy day."

Leaning into the touch Harry nodded and smiled softly. He already knew that his Master had plans to go to the library. Most of the books in the Hogwarts library were useless besides cursory research…however there were some that were not intended for student use and would not be so obviously placed in the Restricted Section. He was going to be busy tonight as well but did not want his Lord worrying about him. "Yes my Lord…I am very tired. "

Voldemort led Harry to the room he would be using during his stay and made sure he was happy with his bed. "I shall see you in the morning my serpent. Hopefully our stay here will turn to our advantage."

Saying nothing Harry settled down into the bed and waited. He could hear his Lord putting away a few things…moving around the room…and finally what he had been waiting for. The sound of his Lord leaving out of the portrait. He waited a few more minutes just to wait until he was certain his Lord would not be returning right away. He slowly dipped out of the bed and arranged the pillows to look somewhat like his body. He charmed them to look like him deep in sleep and pulled his cloak over his sleeping clothes. There was no reason to get fully dressed after all. He was just going out to take care of a little problem.

He opened the portrait and made his way quietly down the hall. Thanks to his Lord's tender care it was still before curfew; which meant he had an excellent chance of finding his prey without having to go into the Gryffindor common room. He would avoid that area at all costs. He heard a loud ruckus and followed the sounds. That boy had been the loudest one he had ever met…chances were good he was the one currently causing all this noise.

He cast a Notice-Me-Not spell and turned the corner. Luck was with him not only was it the pest but he was alone. To make it even better he was currently verbally attacking Draco. Harry didn't want to act with Draco there. He didn't want to worry his loves with unnecessary concern for him…He had seen how much he had distracted them from merely casting the protection spells. He would wait.

Draco gave a long suffering sigh. Why did he of all people have to be caught by the Weasel? Ever since 'Harry Potter' failed to show the Gryffindor seemed to desire to fill his role. He was always causing trouble and attacking Slytherins. He took it to such a point where most Professors no longer blamed the Slytherins but instead actually punished the real offender. This only served to drive the Weasel on more.

He bit his lip as the red head began to insult his recently arrived family. Hearing the horrible things he was saying about his Lord brought a duel reaction out of Draco. He was both amused and angry that this chit would assume he could pass judgment on his betters. When he started making derogatory comments about Blaise however that was where his patience ended. "For once could you shut up Weasel? Honestly it's such a headache having to listen to you go on in class and now you continue assaulting me?" He shook his head "You truly are sad if you have nothing else to do Weasel. I'm going to move along as I actually have a life."

Ron turned a vicious shade of red and raised his wand but Draco merely stunned him "I think you should think about what you've done." He smirked as he looked at the frozen boy and then continued on his way to the dorms. Honestly…some Purebloods had no sense of decency.

Harry had been trembling in rage when he heard all those horrible things about their family. He felt even more justified for what he was going to do. He covered his mouth from laughing when Draco stunned him and walked away. That would just make everything so much easier.

Harry came out into the corridor and looked around; it seemed that most of the students had gone back to their dorms with curfew looming overhead. He smiled brightly and revealed himself to the boy. The red head's blue eyes widened as he appeared and he began to struggle with more effort against the bonds.

Shaking his head Harry held out his hand and strengthened them, giving a little laugh when the force of them caused the red head to choke lightly. "Hello! My name is Harry! You should be happy to know that since not many people do….I'm not allowed to make many friends, but with my loves and family who needs them?"

The boy now seemed to be listening to Harry and the look on his face started to bloom into fear when he realized that the strange looking boy in front of him could do strong wandless magic. He managed to shake his head but that was all he could do. Harry didn't want him motionless after all; a little struggle could be fun!

Smiling Harry summoned a chair and sat down easily in front of his prey. "You know I wouldn't have paid any attention to you even with all your yelling if only you hadn't said any of that nasty stuff about my family…Not very nice you know…" Harry actually looked hurt when he said this. He shook his head and continued "But don't worry! I know a perfect way for you to make it up to me! Usually I'm more creative but I can't have anything suspicious going on that might fall back on my loves. That would defeat the whole purpose!" He smiled brightly as he reached forward and touched Ron's temple "Imperio."

Harry made his way back to their rooms and was glad to see that his Lord was still out. He didn't like doing things behind their backs but it was really for their best interests! And no he wouldn't be forced to lie to his lord…not that he could anyways but it was the possibility of it that Harry disliked. He removed his charm on his bed and settled down amongst the covers. A soft smile on his face as he went to sleep dreaming of his loves.

He had not stayed at the library long. The research he had done there had only confirmed what Harrison had already found out. It seemed they would be dealing with merpeople in this next task. That wasn't nearly as threatening as a dragon of course…but none of the tasks would ever be tame. Now that they knew what the task had in it…they would have to try to discover what the point of the task was.

Tired he decided that he had to rest if he could do anything useful for Harrison tomorrow. He came back in the chambers and paused at Harry's door. He looked in on his little love and was glad to see him resting peacefully. He yearned for the day when this innocent courtship would come to an end…but he was also savoring this time with his loves.

He closed the door as he went to his own chamber. Harry had the right idea and he needed sleep badly. He changed into sleeping clothes and moved into his bed. As usual his dreams were tormenting him about possibilities with his little loves.

The next day it was announced that a student from Hogwarts, Ronald Weasley, had disappeared the night before. By all accounts he had been last seen wandering the halls aimlessly but there were no witnesses that could see where he went. A search group was being gathered that would do all their efforts to find him before the next task. With all the excitement going on no one noticed a very cheerful Malfoy making his tea.

By the end of the day they had found that the boy had gone into the Forbidden Forest and had even verbally offended some of the creatures there. The creatures had attacked and all that was left were a few bones that remained of him. The teachers and staff were all stunned that he would go into the Forbidden Forest…however it was also something very characteristic of him and so his death was labeled accidental.

The Day of the Task

It was the day they had all been waiting for, the day of the Second Task. Harrison had gotten up early to prepare for it. Since he knew that the task would involve water…and merfolk. He had a potion that would enable him to breathe for a few hours underwater. He hoped it would be enough to give him time to do what was required. He went to the Great Hall but was met on the way by a frazzled looking Dark Lord and Draco. Draco was looking at him in extreme concern as he said softly "We can't find Harry."

They had been fully unsettled when they had no choice but to go to the second task without Harry. Draco had held Blaise's hand tightly in his own as he tried to maintain his Malfoy mask. In his mind he was in turmoil though. Harrison was about to partake in a very dangerous task and Harry was missing…something that would further distract and endanger Harrison. Blaise had been supportive and held Draco close as he glared at any who tried to get near the Malfoy Heir in his current state.

Voldemort was not fairing much better. His lips were pressed together tightly as his mind worked vigorously on what could have happened to his little serpent. He had been in bed this morning when he checked on him…but when he had come to bring him breakfast he had been gone. His eyes bled red even in his disguised form as he looked at Dumbledore. He swore if the man had anything to do with his little one disappearing… He would make his revenge painful to say the least.

The fourth champion was almost numb as he made his way to the event. His mind was blank except for the thought of 'Where could Harry be?' He could feel his Lord's comforting hand on his shoulder and was able to relax slightly. At least now he knew that his Lord would not stop working until he found out what had happened.

The event was ready to begin and he mindlessly cast his charm and ignored the other contestants as he dove into the water. He had ignored the pompous speech as he only could think of finishing this task quickly so that he could focus on finding Harry. He swam through the water, his slender form making it easier for him to weave in and out of the merpeople as he spotted several forms up ahead. When he recognized one of them he felt his fist clench tight enough for his nails to draw blood. Dumbledore would pay.

He grabbed Harry's limp form and briefly checked him for injuries as he sped towards the surface. He noticed that none of the other contestants had been as successful as him but couldn't bring himself to care as he left the other forms behind. It may be the Tournament but he doubted that Dumbledore in all his righteousness would allow them to die. Still if something did happen to them it was what they deserved for being so foolish in the first place. He broke the surface of the water as he held Harry's head above it and brought them to the shore. His eyes connected with his Lord's in understanding as they looked down at Harry's pale limp form.

Even if Dumbledore had not realized who they really were he was playing a dangerous game. Voldemort gathered Harry into his arms and gently stroked his wet hair away from his face, careful not to reveal his scar. He leaned down and whispered into his little serpent's ear "He will pay my pet. And we will use his little tournament to do it."

Thank you all so much for your patience. There will be a time skip in the next chapter but I really wanted to play it out until after the second task. Hope it made you smile!
