Chapter 19
Change of Heart
The room was silent when everyone stared at the slim figure of Severus Snape who was now giving all of his weight to a table near by. His leg looked like it was broken because it was twisted backwards. Voldemort just glared.
"And how are you blocking my curse, traitor?" The monster spat out as he released Harry's chin from his pale hand roughly. The slight movement sent Harry's whole body to the ground. Hell had erupted.
"Why should I tell you, master? I can't believe you! If you think this is the best way to 'break' you Grandson you have got to be insane! What is the matter with you?" Snape yelled as he directed his hand in Harry's way. The room was silent as Voldemort's eyes flashed upon the breaking hero.
"Are you in pain Harry?" Voldemort asked in a hoarse whisper, "Am I really breaking you?"
Sirius wanted to walk over to Voldemort and slap him while also wanting to walk forward so he could protect his best friend's kid but he found his legs wouldn't move. All he could do is turn his eyes upon the weeping child who was lying on the floor.
"I-I won't l-let you get t-t-to me! I WON'T!" Harry lifted his head off of the ground and he grabbed it as if in pain. He started to press as much force as he could onto his delicate skull as he scratched at his head roughly. Snape stepped forward.
"Just look at him! Look what you have done! Is this how you really want Harry to live? In pain? I'm not sure what are you, master, but whatever you are it isn't human! No one could take such pleasure in seeing their own flesh and blood scream from the darkest part of misery!" Severus, seeming to forget about his hurt leg, jumped blindly towards Voldemort to knock him down. The two fell onto the ground with a painful thump; hisses of pain drawing from each of their mouths. Sirius, gaining the control of his body again, ran forward at fell to the floor to hug his weeping godson. Harry fell limp against Sirius, not being able to see the fight between his Potion's Master and the Dark Lord.
"Sirius, get Harry the hell out of here! Now!" Severus was beginning to get the agony back in his leg as Voldemort kicked it harshly. Drawing his wand, Voldemort placed the Cruciatus cruse on Snape. The room was filled with screams that echoed in everyone's ears. Smirking slightly, Voldemort turned his eyes back towards Sirius who was trying to make his way towards the exit.
"Going somewhere, Black?" Sirius didn't bother to turn around; he had to get Harry out of here. Sighing bitterly, Voldemort raised his wand swiftly.
"Accio!" There was a sudden pulling on Sirius's body that was pulling him towards Voldemort again. He tried to run against the curse but his resistance was useless. Voldemort gave out one of his high-pitched laughs as he formed magic rope to wrap around Sirius. The pain on his body was immense as the ropes continued to grow tighter and Sirius accidentally dropped his godson in surprise. He gasped in fear and pain, eyes growing large as Harry hit the floor with a loud crack. Voldemort walked pass Sirius and towards the beloved boy who lived. A plastered smile formed on the monster's face.
"I'm sorry Black but Harry has to extend his stay here with me. But of course you're allowed to stay too...I bet you'll love seeing your godson break under my power. This young beauty must be tamed before something really bad happens to him...yet I must say that he is lasting longer than planned. Hopefully I'll end his sanity by tonight." Sirius looked up, staring into the Dark Lord's red depths. His lips turned into a snarl as he tried to lung himself at the bastard who was trying to harm his godson. Voldemort laughed harshly as Sirius was blown across the room, his head colliding with the hard wall. Eyes rolling in the back of his head, Sirius went out cold.
"Now...where was I? Oh yes!" Voldemort turned to pick up his light grandson. The child was still unconscious, his head leaning against Voldemort's chest for support. The Dark Lord's evil smug disappeared suddenly and it was replaced with an unusual sweet smile.
Voldemort faced his long forgotten Death Eater. Markous jumped in surprise as he saw the kind look upon his master's face. He had never seen him so happy.
"Markous, please take both Black and Snape down to the dungeons; I believe that they will enjoy their stay being surrounded by Dementors." Markous took an uneasy step forward and bowed hesitantly. Had his master just said please...to him no less? Shaking his head barely, Markous took out his wand and levitated the pain-filled Snape and the knocked out Black. The Death Eater walked out of the room, deciding that there was still hope for his master. 'Hopefully Harry will really be our savior...maybe he can change the evil Dark Lord...'
"You really believe that Markous?" The surprised Death Eater stopped suddenly, turning to face his lord on the spot. Voldemort's red eyes were burning into his and his mind finally clicked.
Voldemort is a mind reader.
"Yes my lord-"Hoping he wasn't making the worst mistake in his life, Markous returned his master's hard stare. Voldemort closed his eyes in distasteful defeat and nodded his head slightly. Markous was yet again surprised.
"Yes Markous, you're right. Even though I'm being harsher than hell on him I feel this strange bond towards him...I don't know what it is-"
"It's love, master." Voldemort opened his eyes suddenly, his scarlet eyes flashing with confusion. Apparently the Dark Lord had never felt love before. It was quite sad but still; it is good that he felt it now than never.
"Please leave me Markous. Tend to our guests." Markous nodded again, turning to really leave this time. Once Voldemort and Harry were the only ones in the room, Voldemort placed Harry down on one of the tables in Snape's classroom. The young child shuddered in his unconscious as his burning skin came in contact with the cool table. A soft cry of pain left the boy's lips as he began to whimper continuously. Voldemort's gentle smile turned into a worried frown as he stared down at the breaking child. How could he have done this to him?
"Oh God, please...leave Sirius alone! Please!" There were silent tears coming from the sleeping child. Harry was now slashing around, trying to grab at something in front of him. Voldemort took one of his white hands and gathered his grandson's within his own, hoping that Harry would stop this wild dreaming. Yet he didn't.
"I'm so sorry...I shouldn't be allowed to life! My God, kill me! Kill me!" Voldemort froze, eyes widening with the child's dream talk. He let go of Harry's hand quickly, shaking his head somewhat. He didn't want to hear what was about to come...he knew it.
"I hate you Voldemort! Please, just kill me already! I'm just a pain...let me fade away! Kill me!" Voldemort took a step back, eyes quaking; there were tiny bits of water falling from his eyes. Voldemort looked at his hands in surprise as the droplets fell upon them.
This was the first time in his life that he had cried.
He grasped his head in his hands, holding onto his head as if it was his deal life. Harry continued to thrash as Voldemort took many steps away from him, hoping he would wake up from this nightmare. Once he was at the wall he turned so he wouldn't have to look at the child. His tears littered the floor, falling freely from his cheeks. His hands fell to his face, the long white fingers the Dark Lord had covered his entire face. There Voldemort wept sadly, trying to figure out what was his problem. The one and only Harry Potter had made him break down for the first time...his own grandson made him feel uncertain of himself. He let his hands drop to his sides quickly, eyes now dry from lack of water. His eyes narrowed as he looked over to his grandson who was still thrashing at the air blindly.
"This is all a mind trap. My adorable grandson wanted me to fall in love with him so he could save his godfather. This is just a trap that the brat set in my mind! A stupid mind trap!" Voldemort walked over to Harry and slapped him across the face sharply. Harry woke up suddenly, eyes filled with watery tears and fear. Once he saw the anger in Voldemort's fierce orbs he tired to get up but the child was pushed down harshly by Voldemort. All the Dark Lord did was glare.
"Oh Harry, you thought that your little mind trick would work on me but no...it didn't! I saw through it and now...now you're going to pay. I'm going to make that godfather of yours scream until he dies from seeing you go insane. Then I'll kill that bastard Severus; he'll rot in hell forever after I get through with him! And you, my dear sweet Harry...I'm going to break you. I want to see you break until you can't remember who you are. Oh, this is going to be so much fun!" Voldemort laughed cruelly as he watched Harry's eyes shine out pure fear from the darkest depths of his heart. The Dark Lord roughly picked Harry up and placed him into his arms, grasping the boy who lived extremely tightly. But Voldemort just couldn't stop there.
"When you forget everything Harry I'll make sure that you are always on my side and that no one will touch you. You'll live until the end of time under my command and we shall rule the world. You'll be mine...forever!" Voldemort walked out of the room, clutching Harry to himself. The young child squirmed in the Dark Lord's grasp, hoping that he could get away from this insane monster. His struggle was useless. Voldemort was walking down the hall and he passed a very confused and alone Markous. The young Death Eater looked at Harry whose eyes glinted with plea. Markous passed them silently, knowing the worst had happened. Instead of turning his lord nicer the young child had pushed the limits on the Dark Lord. Now everyone was going to suffer the consequences. Voldemort passed Markous quickly, making his way towards the dungeon. He stopped in the doorway to the dark passage and looked down to his scared grandson. Voldemort simply smirked.
"To put it simply Harry; you changed my heart...again. And now I'm mad. Say goodbye to everything you've ever loved, young one." With that, the two made their way down to the dungeon to face their destiny.

Yay! That chapter was sooo much fun to write! Don't you just love the sad Voldemort? I love writing the scene when he cried...^.^
Anywho read and rate folks! I love the reviews! Keep them coming and I'll be a happy enough camper to keep writing! How about it? Just R/R!
And here is where I would usually let my adorable peoples say fun stuff but that was banned...but I CAN give you an update on where this story lies.
I've started on the 20th chapter and it isn't going too well. The rest of this story has been plotted out but Voldemort is being horseful and he won't corporate. And for some reason a pink bunny pops up into my head whenever I try to write any dealing with Harry Potter (blame Gravitation). But yes, I'm really hoping to have chapter 20 out by May something...just bear with me and I'll give everyone a nice little oneshot dealing with our favorite characters! ^_^
Now...story time!
