"For you I was just like the last part of a Cigarette that you throw on the street and leave it there to die, you ignited me with your words but killed me with your actions"

Death over Bondage

As Harry blinked his eyes open the first thing his brain registered was pain the pain exploding all over his body so intense it made him almost cry out just to blink. Willing his body to sit up he blearily looked around trying to figure out where he was but all he could see was that wherever he was it was dark and foggy and unusually to get up he tried to cry out as he felt the most unbearable pain spread throughout every fiber of his body "I wouldn't try that if I were youHadrian your body is not ready" a soft voice rang throughout the room startling Harry who frantically looked around only seeing trees and a midnight sky and feeling the dirt and what seemed to be blood caked to his body

"What happened to me? Where am I? Who are you? " The questions were racing through his brain so fast he could feel the oncoming headache the light airy chuckle in his head only making him more anxious "Calm down Harry and your questions will be answered in due time. As for where you and are and how you got here in short you're currently laying outside the Riddle Manor and you're dying. You were brutally attacked and in a last ditch effort for you to save yourself your magic sent you to the one place it knew that you would be safe" Hearing the voice sent his mind reeling only worsening the headache. Dying? Riddle Manor? Why would he be at Riddle manor? Once again the voice chuckled and harry felt the softest touch against his forehead before he was launched into his memories.

2 Hours Earlier

Harry ran through the tower feeling his invisibility cloak flying around him as he quickly made his way to the dungeons and running into the rooms that went from the place he despised most to the only place he felt safe. Running past the potions class he dropped his glamour's and felt the long raven hair cascading down his back right as he entered his Uncle's rooms. His uncle looked up right as he launched himself right into his arms, feeling the strong arms encircle him finally calming his racing heart. Severus pulled the boys at arm's length checking over him looking for any signs of injury, after not finding any he let the boy go and hurriedly cast the strongest privacy and silencing charms he could think of . "Did anyone follow you?" He asked staring into the blue eyes of the raven haired boy in front of him. Harry let a toothy grin slip onto his face "The Weasleys tried but I lost them about 2 corridors back after going under a notice me not charm"

Severus let out a sigh and pat the ushered through boy along grabbing a bag full of books and potions now adding the boys cloak to the bag before handing it back "Your father will be expecting you at the manor where you'll both apparate to a new location where you'll both be safe until we figure out how to put an end to all of this and I'll follow behind in about 2 weeks" Harry nodded checking through the bag to make sure there was nothing forgotten

The two fell into a comfortable silence Harry watching his uncle brew as he thought about everything that's transpired over the last few months of his life. After the tri wizard tournament Harry got to the cup before him which took him to the graveyard, where instead of being met by a group of death eaters and the slimy snake he was so accustomed to he was instead met with a man that looked like the older version of Tom Riddle and that was the night the course of his live changed it was the night he found out Tom was his biological father and the potters had simply taken him on dumbledores orders where they proceeded to use glamours on him. And the night his father tried to get him back killing the ones that dared to take his child was the event that set the next 15 years of his life into action. It was in that same graveyard all his glamours were removed and it was Severus who came to his aid and allowed him to confide in him, the man telling him of the past, telling him how he came to be who he was, telling him about his father allowing a bond to grow between the two and now Harry couldn't see his life without his Uncle by his side and over the next few months he got to know both men and him and his father devised a plan to allow them to both get away from the wizard if world and the manipulative bastard that caused all the chaos. A place that would allow them to hide until they found a solution.

"Whatever could you be thinking about so hard over there Hadrian? "His Uncle asked not even sparring him a glance from his cauldron . Harry hopped off the stool and went to slice up the flog worms for the next part of the potion his uncle would need.

"Nothing just thinking about You and dad and how we got here in such a short amount of time" Severus said nothing only affectionately patting the boys head before casting a tempus charm and quickly putting a stasis charm on the potion and grabbing the boys things

"Come now Hadrian you must go before it gets too late your father will be expecting you soon and you'll have to use your broom the wards won't allow you access the floo"

Sighing Harry quickly grabbed his things before turning to give his uncle one last hug feeling the lips press against his forehead he took a deep breath before leaving the chambers in shrinking his broom as he made his way to the front of the castle when al of a sudden he was dragged into a a room he soon recognized as the room of requirements where he was met with the end of a wand being held by none other than Albus Dumbledore the other occupants deciding to stay in the shadows

"Now Now my boy wherever we're you off to?" The twinkling eyed man asked pure malice in his voice as stared at Harry who went to reach for his wand only finding it gone

"Now now Harry you don't need your wand" Dumbledore tutted proceeding to walk closer to the boy who backed up. Harry refused to talk keeping the man within his gaze .

"Couldn't you just play the game you stupid boy? After everything I've done for you after the things I've given you! You decide to turn your back in me and the Greater good to run to that no good evil man! Can't you see I've delivered you? I've saved you and wiped you clean of the disease his blood has brought upon you-" The anger in Harry's eyes and the magic buzzing off of him was enough to shut Dumbledore off

"Deliver me? No you stole me! You took me from my Father! You hid me and tried to break me and turn me into this perfect little muppet you sodding old man! I'm done I won't have a part in your sick twisted views of what you believe magic should be."

He made to apparate but found that he couldn't and in that split second he felt pain rear through his stomach and looking down he saw a knife protruding from his stomach being held by none other than his first friend Ronald who peered into his eyes with no remorse as he twisted the blade making Harry cry out

"I'm sorry my boy it's all for the greater good and now you'll die and be nothing but a memory "

Present

Harry blinked the tears from his eyes vividly remembering the multiple stab wounds that were delivered to his body the cuts on his wrists the bruises on his broken body. He could feel the multiple broken bones he had all he could register was pain. All he could feel were the cuts and open wounds all over his body. From the cut on his stomach to the cuts across his face even to the third degree burns he felt along his legs but nothing would be harder to forget than the twinkling eyes of not only the man who he thought would protect him but from the two people that swore to be his friends no matter what.

"Am I dead yet?" He asked the voice in his head part of him wishing for an answer the other part feeling heavy with sleep as he felt his life leaving him"No no not dead just in between your fathers wards have gone off meaning he's aware of your presence but it is your choice whether or not you choose to move on to the afterlife or stay here young master"

"Young master?" He questioned tuning out everything else she said only focusing on thathe felt a soft caress the voice hushing his mind " we'll talk about it later right now you need to decide what you want to do Hadrian your father will be here shortly "

And with a decision in his mind made up he allowed himself to be pulled into the darkness right as he heard the horrified yell of his father enter his ears.
