Chapter Three: The Dark
Dedicated to Reaper!!
He was angry . . . pissed beyond all accountants. Potter had gone too far . . . He had been sitting in a Police Station for nearly two hours before the damn muggles had released him. Draco Malfoy stormed through the castle, his mind fixated on one thing . . . Potter. And as if the Gods had heard him, Harry turned the corner, he was doing something with his hands. Draco caught some of his words. "Stay cool . . . Calm . . . Sirius will beyond pissed" Harry mumbled. "Ooh, what am I doing?! I can't tell Sirius I'm marrying Sev". Draco blinked. That was a new one. Snape and Potter . . . Married.
"Sirius is seriously gonna kill Sev . . . and Me!!" Harry stopped. He proceed to bang his head against the wall. "I can't do this!!" He sighed and leaned against the wall. "This is so not far . . . I just had to have a psycho-maniac Godfather who despies my Fiance". "I hope your Happy Up there!!" Draco raised an eyebrow. He looked up at the cieling. Was it just him or was Potter losing it?
"Potter, what are you doing?" came Draco's voice, even before he knew it. Harry jumped about a half-mile outside of his own skin. When he realized who it was, Harry gave Draco a bored look, as if saying. 'Oh, you again . . . Don't you ever go away?' That snapped Draco's patience and slammed Harry into the wall. The smaller teen glared at Draco. "Don't you start that shit, Potter" Draco snarled. "Do you have any idea what your stupid prank did to me?!"
"Put you in the slammer . . . Pity, they never kept you" Harry sneered. Draco pushed the boy farther into the wall. Causing Harry to yelp in pain. His back hadn't been fully healed yet and this wasn't helping. Harry looked up at Draco and saw the same glint as in Lucius and Voldemort's eyes. But this one just wanted him dead, which relieved Harry, some. Suddenly, Draco's hand connected with his cheek. Harry went sprawling to the floor. Blackness touched his vision. Slowly, Harry pushed himself up into a sitting position and glared at Draco. Who cared if they were on the same side? To Harry, Draco was just like his father. Same looks, and that same evil smirk. Harry repressed the urge to shudder at the violent thought of Lucius Malfoy. Harry touched his cheek and looked up, but instead of Draco Malfoy . . . . Lucius Malfoy stood in his place. Harry's eyes widened and he scrambled backwards. "No . . . nonononononono".
"Potter?" Draco asked, his anger faded and was replaced by concern. He attempted to touch Harry's shoulder but The Gryffindor flinched away. All the while whimpering 'No'. Draco snapped away, he knew the signs of a rape and stumbled back a few steps. Harry looked at Draco, pain and tears etched into his eyes and face. "Potter ? . . . Harry?"
"No more . . . Please . . . What did I ever do to you?" Harry whimpered, he was now pressed against the wall. Tears flowing down his cheeks. His eyes still fixed on Draco.
"Harry . . . It's Draco . . . Lucius isn't here . . . It's just Draco" Draco stated, gently. He cautious moved toward him. "You want me to change my hair color? Do you want that?" Draco pulled out his wand and muttered a spell and his hair changed into a familiar color. Harry looked at the now dark-haired Draco.
"D . . .Draco?" Harry whimpered. Draco nodded and knelt, he touched Harry's shoulder. The Gryffindor hugged the Slytherin. Draco rocked back and forth in attempts to calm Harry down. "Sorry . . . I didn't mean what I said . . .Nor what I pulled".
"Forget about it . . . Just forget about it" Draco said. "Sorry about hitting you . . . My patience snapped". Harry touched his cheek, his head still resting on Draco's chest. It was turning colors.
"It's okay, I'm use to being hit". Tears swelled up into his eyes.
"No, it's not okay, Harry" Draco said. "No one . . . Not anyone . . . has the right to hit you, ever". He gave the Gyrffindor a hard look. "Now, what did I hear about you and Snape gettin' married?" He prayed this tactic would take Harry's mind away from everything.
"Yeah . . . We'll be married after the school year" said Harry. He lifted his hand and showed Draco the ring. "Strange thing is . . . We've only been in love a few days".
"What?!" Draco said. "Man, I thought this was going on for longer then that". he scratched his head. "Come on, let's go talk somewhere more private". He helped Harry to stand up. "Even Walls have ears". Slowly, the two walked away.
*
"Black . . . Lupin, have you seen Potter?" Severus inquired. Both shook their heads. Severus chewed on the inside of his cheek, where was his Angel? "Strange . . . He said he was coming to see you two".
Remus and Sirius got panicked looks on their faces. They shared a look. "I go find him" said Remus. "You two play nice, okay? No threats, pranks or transfiguring while I'm gone".
"What do you think we are? Teenagers?" Sirius inquired.
"We are over that stage in the Human Cycle, Lupin" Severus said. "We're in to hexes, Jinxes and Curses".
"Quite . . . Besides, Snapey here will be in one piece . . . hopefully" Sirius said. Fingering the wand he had. Severus glared at him. Remus shook his head and walked away. Severus gave Sirius a look . . . This would have been better with Harry but Here goes . . . .
"Black, we need to talk . . . It's about Harry" Severus said. Sirius raised an eyebrow. "Something happened to him while he was held captured by Voldemort . . . Sirius, he was raped". Sirius snapped and grabbed Severus' robes. "Black, calm down!! You'll do no good to Harry if you're like this". "He'll be afraid and terrified of you". Sirius, slowly, released Severus, who immediately, straightened his robes. "He was going to tell you but . . . .Since he's not here, I figure I'd tell you".
"Something tells me that isn't all" Sirius said. "I feel as though there's an and coming . . . well, is there?"
"Harry recently discovered that he has a Soulmate here at Hogwarts" Severus said. He slid his hand into his pocket and grasp his wand. "It's me, Black . . . And we're planning on marrying after Harry's finished school and settled into a career". Sirius gapped at him. "Now, this wasn't planned . . . But . . . after his attempt, we sort of got transfered to Elysium".
"Elysium . . . How. . . Is that . . .Bloody Hell" Sirius said.
"My thoughts exactly" Severus said. "I would like to know if you have a problem with me marrying Harry? Well?"
"Doesn't he have a problem with it?" Sirius countered. "After all, He had been raped". Anger flashed through Severus' eyes. He grasped Sirius' robes.
"He isn't dirty, or used, or Broken" Severus snarled. "And if Your planning on disown . . . ."
"Nope, I ain't got a problem with Harry marrying you" Sirius said, as he worked himself out of Severus' grasp. "I may have disliked you during school but that was plainly House Rivalry . . . But I always did admire one thing about you".
Severus raised an eyebrow at that comment. "Your loyalty to your friends . . . I never seen anyone besides Remus stick close to their friends" Sirius said. "I'm sure that was a quality that made you friends with Lily . . . and James". "And now, after being in love with Harry only a few days, you're already Loyal to him . . . That's the best thing in a marriage". Sirius reached into his pocket and pulled out a box. "You wonder if Remus will say Yes? We might be able to pull a double-wedding off".
"I would believe he would say Yes . . . But I'm even more positive that Harry would like the two of you to walk him down the aisle" Severus commented. Sirius nodded. "By the way, Black, you do know that being married to your Godson will change nothing between us, corrected?"
"Of course, But we could have made a rather good prankster team . . . But oh well, I still have a few pranks left to play on you, yet" Sirius said. Severus gave him a dark glare. That sent Sirius up into laughters.
*
Remus walked through the hallways, searching for his adopted godson. The seventeen-year-old seemed to have disappeared from the hallways of Hogwarts. He turned the corner and heard voices coming from the nearest unused classroom. Harry and Draco. The Prior seemed upset and the latter angry.
"That . . .That . . . Wait til I get my hands on him . . . Father, my arse" Draco snarled. "I'll kill him, I swear".
"Draco . . ." came Harry's voice, it was tearful and upset. "Don't . . . Please?"
"But, Harry . . . He raped you!!! Jesus, don't you want a little revenge?" Draco's voice demanded. Remus froze. Harry . . . his adopted godson . . . his son . . . No it couldn't be true!!
"I don't Care!!! Sev doesn't care, He loves me regardless" Harry's shout. "And I had enough of that man to last me all of my life times!!" Remus could hear Harry was sobbing now. He burst in, Harry had his face buried in his hands and Draco was, fruitlessly, trying to comfort him.
"Professor Lupin!!"
Harry looked up and saw the concerned face of his second Godfather. "Moony". Harry threw his arms around the older man and hugged him. The two slid to the floor. Harry buried his face into Remus' neck, sobbing. Remus rocked back and forth, whispering things into Harry's ear and rubbing the boy's back.
"Could you fetch Severus and Sirius for me, Draco?" asked Remus. "Tell them that it's about Harry . . . Don't give either of them much detail". "Can't have either of them going into a panic about this". "They're in the Teachers' Corridor"
"Yes, Professor". Draco raced from the room, Remus rested his head on Harry's. He continued to rub the boy's back. Harry pulled back and looked up into Remus' honey-colored eyes.
"I guess you heard . . . Huh?" Harry asked. Remus nodded, his hand combed through Harry's unruly hair. "I tried to stop them, Honest Moony, But . . . They were too strong". Harry buried his face into Remus' sturdy chest. "I wanted to stop them . . . I screamed . . . Begged . . . but . . ."
"Shush, Little One" Remus murmured. "Do not worry . . . We all will be with you". Harry looked up, tears trinkling down his cheeks. His Emerald Eyes pleading that this wasn't a lie . . . That Everyone would be with him, no matter what. The Door slammed opened. Severus and Sirius stood there breathless with Draco, panting behind them. Sirius rushed forward and swept his Godson into his arms.
"Harry, are you okay?" Sirius inquired. "What am I saying . . . Of course you're not alright". Sirius rested his head on Harry's head, holding his petite godson in his arms like toddler. Harry grasp a part of Sirius' tattered robes and buried his face in his neck. Sirius looked up at Draco, Severus and Remus. His silver-grey eyes looking lost and heartbroken. The three knew not one to help Sirius, for they were propelling through their own whirlwind of emotions.
Suddenly, Harry jerked. His eyes were rolling back into his head. Around he heard shouting. It was Sirius and Severus but something was calling him and Harry allowed it to drawn him away from his loved ones and Draco.
((Harry opened his eyes and found himself standing in a hospital room. He looked around and found all of the Weasleys. They were Alive!! They were Alive!! Harry couldn't help smile in relief. This lifted some of the weight on his shoulders. He saw Ron was curled up asleep into Percy. The Twins were sleep, curled into each other. Ginny was sleep in her Father's arms. Molly was busily attending to Bill and Charlie.
"Molly, you really should be resting" Arthur said. "You're not entirely well yet". He stood and rested their only daughter on a bed. He walked over and wrapped his arms around his wife and tenderly kissed her hair. "And It would kill me to lose you and the children".
"I'm fine, Arthur" said Molly. "But if you insist, I'll lay down". She sat down on a bed and gazed up at her husband. "Did they find Harry? That poor child must have been terrified".
"Albus and Severus found him" said Arthur. "He was in pretty bad condition . . . but he's safe back at Hogwarts". Molly nodded and laid down, her hand grasp her husband's.
"Does he know we're alive?"
"I haven't had time to see him or anyone else" Arthur replied, sitting. "With taking care of Ron and the missions for the Order, I'm nearly run down". Harry walked over and placed his hands on Arthur's shoulders. The elder wizard stiffened then relaxed. Harry smiled and looked around. Yes, a great weight was lifted. Harry heard distant voices. He turned and closed his eyes.))
He reopened them and found himself staring at their concern faces of his family and Draco. "Harry, are you okay?" Severus inquired. Harry nodded, slowly, and with Sirius' help, he sat up.
"They're alive" he murmued. He gave a small smile. "The Weasleys are alive". Draco gave his Head of House, his former professor and the ex- convict a confused look but they ignored it. Harry leaned into Sirius' embrace and slowly, fell asleep. The soft smile never leaving his feature, and giving him an angelic look.
"Come on, let's get him to bed" Sirius whispered. He hoisted Harry into his arms and walked out with Severus, Remus and Draco.
*
Ron Weasley raced down the corridor toward the Hospital Wing. That's where Sirius had told him, Harry was resting. He bursted in startling the two occupants in the room. "Harry" said Ron. He hugged his best friend. "You wouldn't believe what happened". Harry looked at him curiously. "Mum, Ginny, The twins, Percy, Charlie and Bill were attacked".
"Attacked?" Harry inquired. He kept up his innocent facade. "By whom?"
"You-Know-Who" Ron said. "They all pretty injured . . . Mum said it was to get to you". Harry nodded, slowly. He noticed his friend's eyes were glazed over.
"Ron?"
"We almost lost Charlie, Fred and George" he whispered. "They practically died on the Operation table". "Ginny's hearing is temporary lost . . . Bill's left leg had to be amputated". He sat down on Harry's bed. "Charlie had to have a heart Transplant . . . Fred and George had to have an operation to stop the bleeding in their heads . . . Mum just had a few bruises and stuff".
"What about Percy?' Harry ventured, clearfully. He knew how close Ron and Percy were. "Is he okay?"
"He lost his eyesight" Ron choked out. "We almost lost him too". Harry pulled the Redhead into his arms and hugged him. Ron cried in his best friend's arms. "I almost lost my family . . . Oh, Gods".
"Everything is gonna be alright, Ron" Harry said. He looked at his best friend. "You Weasleys are the most resilient people I ever had the pleasure of calling friends". Ron gave Harry a weak smile.
"Dad also told me of that stunt of yours Harry" said Ron. "What were you thinking?"
"I wasn't" Harry replied. "Where's 'Mione?"
"She and her parents" Ron started "are just arriving with my family and the rest of the school".
"Oh, right" Harry said "I forgot that Christmas Vacation was over . . . Man that bites". Ron was about to say something when he noticed vivid bruises on Harry's neck. He reached forward and brushed his fingers off of them. Harry flinched away.
"What happened?"
"Noth . . ." Harry started. He felt something pull at his consciousness and soon found himself spiralling toward darkness.
"HARRY!!!" Ron said. He caught the petite teen in his arms. He gazed horrified down at Harry's blank eyes. Pure emerald green with a black haze. "MADAM POMFREY!!!"
The startled school nurse rushed in. "Good Gods!!" she exclaimed. She grasped Harry and laid him back. "Mr. Weasley, I need you to get The Headmaster . . . NOW!!" Ron ran from the room. Madam Pomfrey turned and looked at Harry. She noticed that the black haze was growing. The boy's body began to convulse. Madam Pomfrey grasped Harry's shoulders and held him down. Suddenly, she was thrown backwards. Madam Pomfrey sat up, there standing next to Harry's bed was none other then . . . .
*
A Blood-curling scream echoed throughout the halls of Hogwarts. This only made Severus run faster. His chest clenched and his heart raced. He knew something was wrong. He bursted into the Hospital Wing. Madam Pomfrey lay in a growing pool of her own blood. "POPPY!!!" Severus shouted. He raced the injured Nurse's side. He helped her sit up.
"Just a flesh wound" she murmured. "Severus, you have to find Harry! He's come for him!"
Severus' eyes widened. "Will you be alright?" he inquired. After the Nurse's nod, Severus left her side and raced off. Hoping against Hope . . . Praying against Time . . . That he would find his beloved before it was too late.
*
Malicious eyes raked over the near-nude figure of Harry Potter. The boy was truly a sight to behold. Despite his earlier encounters, his innocence was still shining in his eyes. Harry's thin and lean chest rose and fell, rythmically. Finally, The Light's greatest Champion and bringer of the Light was finally his. The prophecy that surrounded his birth and the birth of his twin children, Eli Aramis and Elias James. But those brats lives wouldn't come to past. Not with their father's ever fasting approach to darkness. He was wallowing in the memories of all the horrible things that had happen to him. It was causing him to turn away from the Light and toward Darkness.
"Soon, you will belong to me" snickered the figure. "And not even your beloved will able to pull you away". Unbeknownst to the figure, silver tears leaked from Harry's eyes. With each teardrop, Harry's innocent and beautiful inner light was fading. Not from the ever growing darkness in his heart from his memories but from the fact that he would never be able to see his beloved again.
His heart screamed in agony and pain, tears continued to fall. The figure looked upwards. The sky darkened, thunder boomed and lighten crashed. "It's working!! It's working!!" shrieked the figure. "Now to complete the transformation!!"
Harry's back arched, his eyes flashed a brilliant white. He slumped, motionlessly. The figure walked over to Harry. The seventeen-year-old sat up. His eyes were still closed. "Open" ordered the figure.
Harry's eyes slid open. No pupil or iris could be seen in the unend darkness that had captured Harry's once vibrant Emerald green eyes. "Welcome to The Darkness" said the figure. He reached out and grasped Harry's hands. Black mists whirled around and Harry now sat clothed in black velvet robes with blood red trim. A obsidian black crown appeared on his head. "Welcome, My King". Laughter filled the air.
*
Severus stopped dead. He could no longer feel Harry. His midnight eyes widened. Something had happened to his prescious Angel. Severus grasped a wall from collapsing. Sirius and Remus rounded the corner and found Severus, trying to support himself. They rushed over. "Severus?" Remus inquired. "What's wrong? Where's Harry?"
Severus' only reply was . . . .
"The Dark".
The Potions Master fainted forward into Sirius' arms. Both the Werewolf and his mate exchanged worried glances.

I just had to have a psycho-maniac Godfather who despies my Fiance". "I hope your Happy Up there!!" Draco raised an eyebrow. He looked up at the cieling. Was it just him or was Potter losing it?
"Potter, what are you doing?" came Draco's voice, even before he knew it. Harry jumped about a half-mile outside of his own skin.

"No more . . . Please . . . What did I ever do to you?" Harry whimpered, he was now pressed against the wall. Tears flowing down his cheeks. His eyes still fixed on Draco.
"Harry . . . It's Draco . . . Lucius isn't here . . . It's just Draco" Draco stated, gently. He cautious moved toward him. "You want me to change my hair color? Do you want that?" Draco pulled out his wand and muttered a spell and his hair changed into a familiar color. Harry looked at the now dark-haired Draco.
"D . . .Draco?" Harry whimpered. Draco nodded and knelt, he touched Harry's shoulder. The Gryffindor hugged the Slytherin. Draco rocked back and forth in attempts to calm Harry down. "Sorry . . . I didn't mean what I said . . .Nor what I pulled".
"Forget about it . . . Just forget about it" Draco said. "Sorry about hitting you . . . My patience snapped". Harry touched his cheek, his head still resting on Draco's chest. It was turning colors.
"It's okay, I'm use to being hit". Tears swelled up into his eyes.
"No, it's not okay, Harry" Draco said. "No one . . . Not anyone . . . has the right to hit you, ever". He gave the Gyrffindor a hard look. "Now, what did I hear about you and Snape gettin' married?" He prayed this tactic would take Harry's mind away from everything.
"Yeah . . . We'll be married after the school year" said Harry. He lifted his hand and showed Draco the ring. "Strange thing is . . . We've only been in love a few days".
"What?!" Draco said. "Man, I thought this was going on for longer then that". he scratched his head. "Come on, let's go talk somewhere more private". He helped Harry to stand up. "Even Walls have ears". Slowly, the two walked away.
*
"Black . . . Lupin, have you seen Potter?" Severus inquired. Both shook their heads. Severus chewed on the inside of his cheek, where was his Angel? "Strange . . . He said he was coming to see you two".
Remus and Sirius got panicked looks on their faces. They shared a look. "I go find him" said Remus. "You two play nice, okay? No threats, pranks or transfiguring while I'm gone".
"What do you think we are? Teenagers?" Sirius inquired.
"We are over that stage in the Human Cycle, Lupin" Severus said. "We're in to hexes, Jinxes and Curses".
"Quite . . . Besides, Snapey here will be in one piece . . . hopefully" Sirius said. Fingering the wand he had. Severus glared at him. Remus shook his head and walked away. Severus gave Sirius a look . . . This would have been better with Harry but Here goes . . . .
"Black, we need to talk . . . It's about Harry" Severus said. Sirius raised an eyebrow. "Something happened to him while he was held captured by Voldemort . . . Sirius, he was raped". Sirius snapped and grabbed Severus' robes. "Black, calm down!! You'll do no good to Harry if you're like this". "He'll be afraid and terrified of you". Sirius, slowly, released Severus, who immediately, straightened his robes. "He was going to tell you but . . . .Since he's not here, I figure I'd tell you".
"Something tells me that isn't all" Sirius said. "I feel as though there's an and coming . . . well, is there?"
"Harry recently discovered that he has a Soulmate here at Hogwarts" Severus said. He slid his hand into his pocket and grasp his wand. "It's me, Black . . . And we're planning on marrying after Harry's finished school and settled into a career". Sirius gapped at him. "Now, this wasn't planned . . . But . . . after his attempt, we sort of got transfered to Elysium".
"Elysium . . . How. . . Is that . . .Bloody Hell" Sirius said.
"My thoughts exactly" Severus said. "I would like to know if you have a problem with me marrying Harry? Well?"
"Doesn't he have a problem with it?" Sirius countered. "After all, He had been raped". Anger flashed through Severus' eyes. He grasped Sirius' robes.

Remus walked through the hallways, searching for his adopted godson. The seventeen-year-old seemed to have disappeared from the hallways of Hogwarts. He turned the corner and heard voices coming from the nearest unused classroom. Harry and Draco. The Prior seemed upset and the latter angry.
"That . . .That . . . Wait til I get my hands on him . . . Father, my arse" Draco snarled. "I'll kill him, I swear".
"Draco . . ." came Harry's voice, it was tearful and upset. "Don't . . . Please?"
"But, Harry . . . He raped you!!! Jesus, don't you want a little revenge?" Draco's voice demanded. Remus froze. Harry . . . his adopted godson . . . his son . . . No it couldn't be true!!
"I don't Care!!! Sev doesn't care, He loves me regardless" Harry's shout. "And I had enough of that man to last me all of my life times!!" Remus could hear Harry was sobbing now. He burst in, Harry had his face buried in his hands and Draco was, fruitlessly, trying to comfort him.
"Professor Lupin!!"
Harry looked up and saw the concerned face of his second Godfather. "Moony". Harry threw his arms around the older man and hugged him. The two slid to the floor. Harry buried his face into Remus' neck, sobbing. Remus rocked back and forth, whispering things into Harry's ear and rubbing the boy's back.
"Could you fetch Severus and Sirius for me, Draco?" asked Remus. "Tell them that it's about Harry . . . Don't give either of them much detail". "Can't have either of them going into a panic about this". "They're in the Teachers' Corridor"
"Yes, Professor". Draco raced from the room, Remus rested his head on Harry's. He continued to rub the boy's back. Harry pulled back and looked up into Remus' honey-colored eyes.
"I guess you heard . . . Huh?" Harry asked. Remus nodded, his hand combed through Harry's unruly hair. "I tried to stop them, Honest Moony, But . . . They were too strong". Harry buried his face into Remus' sturdy chest. "I wanted to stop them . . . I screamed . . . Begged . . . but . . ."
"Shush, Little One" Remus murmured. "Do not worry . . . We all will be with you". Harry looked up, tears trinkling down his cheeks. His Emerald Eyes pleading that this wasn't a lie . . . That Everyone would be with him, no matter what. The Door slammed opened. Severus and Sirius stood there breathless with Draco, panting behind them. Sirius rushed forward and swept his Godson into his arms.
"Harry, are you okay?" Sirius inquired. "What am I saying . . . Of course you're not alright". Sirius rested his head on Harry's head, holding his petite godson in his arms like toddler. Harry grasp a part of Sirius' tattered robes and buried his face in his neck. Sirius looked up at Draco, Severus and Remus. His silver-grey eyes looking lost and heartbroken. The three knew not one to help Sirius, for they were propelling through their own whirlwind of emotions.
Suddenly, Harry jerked. His eyes were rolling back into his head. Around he heard shouting. It was Sirius and Severus but something was calling him and Harry allowed it to drawn him away from his loved ones and Draco.
((Harry opened his eyes and found himself standing in a hospital room. He looked around and found all of the Weasleys. They were Alive!! They were Alive!! Harry couldn't help smile in relief. This lifted some of the weight on his shoulders. He saw Ron was curled up asleep into Percy. The Twins were sleep, curled into each other. Ginny was sleep in her Father's arms. Molly was busily attending to Bill and Charlie.
"Molly, you really should be resting" Arthur said. "You're not entirely well yet". He stood and rested their only daughter on a bed. He walked over and wrapped his arms around his wife and tenderly kissed her hair. "And It would kill me to lose you and the children".
"I'm fine, Arthur" said Molly. "But if you insist, I'll lay down". She sat down on a bed and gazed up at her husband. "Did they find Harry? That poor child must have been terrified".
"Albus and Severus found him" said Arthur. "He was in pretty bad condition . . . but he's safe back at Hogwarts". Molly nodded and laid down, her hand grasp her husband's.
"Does he know we're alive?"
"I haven't had time to see him or anyone else" Arthur replied, sitting. "With taking care of Ron and the missions for the Order, I'm nearly run down". Harry walked over and placed his hands on Arthur's shoulders. The elder wizard stiffened then relaxed. Harry smiled and looked around. Yes, a great weight was lifted. Harry heard distant voices. He turned and closed his eyes.))
He reopened them and found himself staring at their concern faces of his family and Draco. "Harry, are you okay?" Severus inquired. Harry nodded, slowly, and with Sirius' help, he sat up.
"They're alive" he murmued. He gave a small smile. "The Weasleys are alive". Draco gave his Head of House, his former professor and the ex- convict a confused look but they ignored it. Harry leaned into Sirius' embrace and slowly, fell asleep. The soft smile never leaving his feature, and giving him an angelic look.
"Come on, let's get him to bed" Sirius whispered. He hoisted Harry into his arms and walked out with Severus, Remus and Draco.

Ron Weasley raced down the corridor toward the Hospital Wing. That's where Sirius had told him, Harry was resting. He bursted in startling the two occupants in the room. "Harry" said Ron. He hugged his best friend. "You wouldn't believe what happened". Harry looked at him curiously. "Mum, Ginny, The twins, Percy, Charlie and Bill were attacked".
"Attacked?" Harry inquired. He kept up his innocent facade. "By whom?"
"You-Know-Who" Ron said. "They all pretty injured . . . Mum said it was to get to you". Harry nodded, slowly. He noticed his friend's eyes were glazed over.
"Ron?"
"We almost lost Charlie, Fred and George" he whispered. "They practically died on the Operation table". "Ginny's hearing is temporary lost . . . Bill's left leg had to be amputated". He sat down on Harry's bed. "Charlie had to have a heart Transplant . . . Fred and George had to have an operation to stop the bleeding in their heads . . . Mum just had a few bruises and stuff".
"What about Percy?' Harry ventured, clearfully. He knew how close Ron and Percy were. "Is he okay?"
"He lost his eyesight" Ron choked out. "We almost lost him too". Harry pulled the Redhead into his arms and hugged him. Ron cried in his best friend's arms. "I almost lost my family . . . Oh, Gods".
"Everything is gonna be alright, Ron" Harry said. He looked at his best friend. "You Weasleys are the most resilient people I ever had the pleasure of calling friends". Ron gave Harry a weak smile.
"Dad also told me of that stunt of yours Harry" said Ron. "What were you thinking?"
"I wasn't" Harry replied. "Where's 'Mione?"
"She and her parents" Ron started "are just arriving with my family and the rest of the school".
"Oh, right" Harry said "I forgot that Christmas Vacation was over . . . Man that bites". Ron was about to say something when he noticed vivid bruises on Harry's neck. He reached forward and brushed his fingers off of them. Harry flinched away.
"What happened?"
"Noth . . ." Harry started. He felt something pull at his consciousness and soon found himself spiralling toward darkness.
"HARRY!!!" Ron said. He caught the petite teen in his arms. He gazed horrified down at Harry's blank eyes. Pure emerald green with a black haze. "MADAM POMFREY!!!"
The startled school nurse rushed in. "Good Gods!!" she exclaimed. She grasped Harry and laid him back. "Mr. Weasley, I need you to get The Headmaster . . . NOW!!" Ron ran from the room. Madam Pomfrey turned and looked at Harry. She noticed that the black haze was growing. The boy's body began to convulse. Madam Pomfrey grasped Harry's shoulders and held him down. Suddenly, she was thrown backwards. Madam Pomfrey sat up, there standing next to Harry's bed was none other then . . . .
*
A Blood-curling scream echoed throughout the halls of Hogwarts. This only made Severus run faster. His chest clenched and his heart raced. He knew something was wrong. He bursted into the Hospital Wing. Madam Pomfrey lay in a growing pool of her own blood. "POPPY!!!" Severus shouted. He raced the injured Nurse's side. He helped her sit up.
"Just a flesh wound" she murmured. "Severus, you have to find Harry! He's come for him!"
Severus' eyes widened. "Will you be alright?" he inquired. After the Nurse's nod, Severus left her side and raced off. Hoping against Hope . . . Praying against Time . . . That he would find his beloved before it was too late.

Malicious eyes raked over the near-nude figure of Harry Potter. The boy was truly a sight to behold. Despite his earlier encounters, his innocence was still shining in his eyes. Harry's thin and lean chest rose and fell, rythmically. Finally, The Light's greatest Champion and bringer of the Light was finally his. The prophecy that surrounded his birth and the birth of his twin children, Eli Aramis and Elias James. But those brats lives wouldn't come to past. Not with their father's ever fasting approach to darkness. He was wallowing in the memories of all the horrible things that had happen to him. It was causing him to turn away from the Light and toward Darkness.
"Soon, you will belong to me" snickered the figure. "And not even your beloved will able to pull you away". Unbeknownst to the figure, silver tears leaked from Harry's eyes. With each teardrop, Harry's innocent and beautiful inner light was fading. Not from the ever growing darkness in his heart from his memories but from the fact that he would never be able to see his beloved again.
His heart screamed in agony and pain, tears continued to fall. The figure looked upwards. The sky darkened, thunder boomed and lighten crashed. "It's working!! It's working!!" shrieked the figure. "Now to complete the transformation!!"
Harry's back arched, his eyes flashed a brilliant white. He slumped, motionlessly. The figure walked over to Harry. The seventeen-year-old sat up. His eyes were still closed. "Open" ordered the figure.
Harry's eyes slid open. No pupil or iris could be seen in the unend darkness that had captured Harry's once vibrant Emerald green eyes. "Welcome to The Darkness" said the figure. He reached out and grasped Harry's hands. Black mists whirled around and Harry now sat clothed in black velvet robes with blood red trim. A obsidian black crown appeared on his head. "Welcome, My King". Laughter filled the air.
*
Severus stopped dead. He could no longer feel Harry. His midnight eyes widened. Something had happened to his prescious Angel. Severus grasped a wall from collapsing. Sirius and Remus rounded the corner and found Severus, trying to support himself. They rushed over. "Severus?" Remus inquired. "What's wrong? Where's Harry?"
Severus' only reply was . . . .
"The Dark".
The Potions Master fainted forward into Sirius' arms. Both the Werewolf and his mate exchanged worried glances.
