I look at Harry now. It's been a year since the final battle. Fleur is the only one who still really talks to me about anything. She and Harry are close but nothing's happened between them. She thinks that he's to scarred by what he's been through to be with anyone. I think it's a load of bull! He went through the same damn battle we all did. Why does he get to be so damn special?

He lives at Malfoy Manner with Hermione and Draco and their precious son. I thought Hermione was smarter than that to end up marrying a Slytherin but especially a Malfoy. He'll go down the same path his daddy did. I know it.

Harry won't let me talk about them. He can't stand to have anything said against precious Draco. It makes me sick. The Boy Who Lived, my former best friend, doesn't even see that he's fallen in with the bad crowd. He said that he'd never forgive Malfoy and now he's living under the same roof as him! I tell you it's revolting.

Yeah, betrayl stings like sharp needles
and love falls away like a wilting flower

Flashback to 7th Year

"Hey Harry," Ron called out to his best friend. "Let's go play some Wizard's chess! Otherwise Hermione will find us and make us do some more revising."

"Can't Ron," Harry shook his head, black hair falling briefly into his eyes. "I'm meeting someone. How about later?"

"Sure," Ron nodded. "Later."

He disappeared around the corner but didn't go back to Gryffindor Tower. He waited instead to see who Harry was meeting. He almost exposed himself when he spotted Malfoy and Zabini walking towards his friend. But the way Harry greeted them made him freeze. He was actually sounding friendly with them, but that didn't make sense.

"So Harry," Blaise said. "Are you ready for some more Potions?"

"Of course," Harry smiled at the Slytherin. "And Draco's always ready to suck up to Snape."

"You're already starting to do better than I am Potter," Draco shook his head. "How can you pretend to be so bad in class Harry? That would just kill me. You even manage to be bad enough that he still takes points away just like he used to."

"We can't have anyone knowing about this Malfoy," Harry playfully punched him in the upper arm. "Our special training has to stay under wraps otherwise our plan to get Voldemort for good will fail."

"We'll let's get going mate," Draco said heading towards the dungeons stairs. "Or Snape will have our heads."

"Where's Pansy?" Blaise asked them.

"She and Hermione should already be down there," Draco answered.

"How would you know Draco?" Harry asked with a grin.

"I was with her about fifteen minutes ago in the library if you must know," Draco smirked. "She and Pansy were looking something up. I didn't want to know what."

End Flashback

Oh yes, they were all such good friends in a matter of months. They were always sticking up for one another in the halls and soon enough everyone stayed out of their way. In the last month those five had two free periods for studying. Of course they used the Great Hall or some other classroom and mostly they were always together. I should have known back then but I didn't want to see.

But your heart's still beating underneath the pain
Your blood still flows in all the veins
It still don't mean your really alive

Even now Harry doesn't trust me. Not the way he trusts Hermione and Draco. Fluer said that Harry was getting colder with outsiders. She lives in Hogsmeade and goes up to see the three of them twice a week for dinner. She used to spend the weekends up there but they don't want her there anymore.

Maybe they found out that she's been feeding me information. It doesn't matter, I know what I want. I know that I have to take Harry out, and every last one of them before they can come against us. And failing that I need to make the rest of them see, show them all what those three are capable of.

They all have to see the truth. I can bring it to them. I can show them what Harry Potter, the new Dark Lord is capable of! They will all see what I didn't want to see! They will all bear his mark.

Why else would Harry be living at Malfoy's? Why else would Malfoy want him there? Because Harry has part of Voldemort, Harry has power and together that can mean a new Dark Lord.

Darkness can spread throughout your system
Like a cancer it can take control
But you still can't see what's really out there
Amidst the darkness of your soul you're blinded by reality
And life will only make you lose control

"Oh, hello Fluer," Ron turned to the French woman who was also part Veela. "What's the matter? You look so down."

"It's Harry again," Fluer sighed. "I don't want to trouble you."

"It's no trouble," Ron assured her, his eyes glinting. "What's wrong?"

"Harry's gay!" Fluer suddenly wailed. "And, I should have known. I mean, every weekend Severus has been coming to the Manor and now he comes over every night through a special system Dumbledore has set up."

"There, there," Ron said consolelingly. "It'll all work itself out, I'm sure. I'm sorry that he hurt you Fluer."

"He never said or did anything that showed he was interested in me," Fluer hung her head sadly. "I should have known, I just didn't want to see."

"I didn't want to see it either," Ron said patting her on the back as she cried softly. "Harry's beyond our help now. We have to accept that. He's gone over to the other side. What are you going to do?"

"Go back to France," Fluer lifted a tear stained face.

"That would probably be best for now," Ron agreed. "When are you leaving?"

"In a few more minutes," Fluer said. "I just came to say goodbye and thank you for always being here for me Ron. You've been such a good friend."

"Thank you for trusting me Fluer," Ron smiled. "And you can come back any time you want to visit me. I'll be happy to see you."

"Au Revior Ron," Fluer gave him one last hug.

"Good bye Fluer," Ron returned the hug and then led her to the door of his flat. "Until we meet again."

He opened the door for her and watched her leave.

She really was a beautiful girl. Too bad that he couldn't use someone like her yet in his plans. Perhaps later on she might come in useful.

Ron turned back around and stepped into his study. Two figures stood waiting for him. They bowed low and groveled when he entered the room.

"Now," Ron seated himself and they resumed sitting on the floor. "Where were we?"

You're gonna take back what you're owed
Make everyone pay more than you've told
And you're never gonna stop beating them to the ground

I'll get you Harry Potter, you and all your little friends. You owed me and you never paid. You dropped me as soon as someone better came along. But I can seek revenge just like anyone else and I'll make all of you pay.

Twisted
It's what you are
Twisted
It's all you're ever gonna be

And all around you they fall to their knees
But it's only the sick who do as they please
Only the weak come to you to serve
Power begets power and life begets life
So please show me what you're thinking of
Please tell me of your life

Fire can burn you whole
It can consume every bit of your soul
But you still can't see what's really out there
Amidst the bright light you're blinded by every insecurity and fantasy
And life will only make you lose control

And all around you they fall to their knees
But it's only the sick who do as they please
The stupid will come to serve
Brilliance begets brillance and death begets death
So please show me what you're planning
Please let me feel what you're lacking
