I made another Chapter YAY! Same warnings and disclaimers as before.
Oh and be sure TO READ MY NOTE at THE END of chapter VERY IMPORTANT!
Chapter 5: Deals
It had been two days now, at least that's how long Luca said. Harry didn't know what he would do if the snake wasn't there to talk with.
The only good thing for Harry was that he no longer felt like he got ran over by a train, the bad news was he hadn't eaten, bathed, or used the bathroom in over 48 hours.
What was even worse than all three of those things combined was that Harry had not talked with Jason; one could only wonder what the older man was thinking.
'Most likely thinks I am a git' Harry thought bitterly, but it wasn't his fault he was stuck with evil abusive relatives.
A knock from the front door brought Harry out of his soon to be very depressing thoughts, the teen listened as his uncle went to answer the door almost making the house tremble under his massive weight.
Harry kept listening silently as his uncle opened the door having nothing better to do. Luca was off somewhere doing something at the moment, but he snake did tell him he would be back soon.
Two days was far too long for the dark lord, those filthy muggles were very lucky he didn't kill them now. And now he was staring up at the fat muggle man, if it wasn't for Lucius spying on Harry to gain information Voldemort would have killed the muggles on sight and kidnapped Harry.
But Lucius informed the dark lord that the Harry's muggle family was very greedy; greedy enough to force there nephew to work for money. (Bingo for anyone who guessed, who knows maybe you will get a prize...See end of chapter for more details)
"Hello Vernon" Jason greeted the bigger man cheerfully and shook hands with him.
"What can I do for you Jason?" Vernon asked politely.
'Die!' was what 'Jason' thought but what came out of his mouth was "I wanted to know if that nephew of yours is a good cleaner like he is Gardner"
'Why not be blunt?' the dark lord asked himself and watched in amusement as the fat mans face went red and his eyes narrowed.
"I so am busy looking over admissions to the collage that I don't have time to clean or tend the lawn. I am willing to pay for his service, and will be sure that he does not get into trouble" Vernon's face became less red and almost normal color, but the dark lord could see the conversation was not going to go in his favor unless he buttered the fat man up.
"I have told my father about your son Dudley, he believes he would be perfect for the school. When he comes of age" Not that he will live that long, the dark lord thought "there shall be a spot waiting for him, and if you need a scholarship I am sure I can arrange that also"
The fat mans eye sparkled, oh Merlin Voldemort hated when people did that it always reminded him of that old fool Dumbledore. The sparkle may seem innocent enough but there always was something horrible behind it…
"Thank you so much, this will make Petunia so happy. Always knew my son would get into the best college in England… Now what were you saying about wanted the boy to work. I think Petunia would agree it would be a splendid idea, the boy does nothing all day. Starting work at minimal wage will get him prepared for what he is going to do for the rest of his life"
Jason bit the side of his mouth to keep himself under control, oh how he wished he could pull out his wand and curse the fat man, better yet kill the fat man.
The dark lord didn't know how much longer he could force himself to keep this act up, these damn muggles were horrible, and were constantly reminding him why he hated muggles in the first place.
"How rude of me, please come in" Vernon moved aside so Jason could enter the house.
Harry's mouth was wide open as he listened to the conversation; he never knew Jason could be so manipulative; the older man had easily gotten what he wanted from uncle Vernon in less than 5 minutes.
The teen crawled away from the door when the two adult men walked past and into the kitchen, most likely to tell Aunt Petunia who was scrubbing the oven about Harry working for Jason and Dudley getting a place in collage.
/Harry are you there? No wait that is a stupid question when are you not there/ Luca asked from below. Harry moved towards the spot Luca was near and pressed his ear against the floor board so his snake friend's voice was not so muffled.
/Heh, you right I am always here, but not for long. Remember that guy Jason I was telling you about/
/Yes, what of him/ Luca asked trying not to sound curios.
/He just convinced my uncle to let me work for him, which means have to get out of here soon/ Harry told the snake, happy to be getting out of the darkness.
/That is good, but are you not concerned about why this Jason is trying so hard to see you/ Luca asked keeping all emotion out of his voice
Harry thought about the questioned, Jason wasn't a wizard so he wants out to 'get' Harry, and the older man didn't actually try to get any further then kissing so he couldn't just be after sex. Why would a man who was good looking like Jason want to sleep with a scrawny 15 year old when he could have any woman/man in Europe if he tried?
But maybe Harry should be more careful around Jason, one never knew these days with dark wizards and rapist wondering around the streets.
…but Jason seemed to really care, he comforted Harry when he needed it, kissed him, fixed his fingers, and said every right word at the right moment.
Then again that was strange itself, how could one person be so perfect? Maybe Harry was just easy to read, or Jason had seen a lot of abused children to know how they react to things. But still... it did seem a little off
/He just cares about me/ Harry answered trying to convince himself more than his snake friend.
/If you say so/
/Your not helping me stay in a good mood/ Harry pointed out
/You human teenagers always have mood swings, one moment your happy the next your crying over nothing. It is not me who is making your mood change but yourself, so stop blaming me/ Harry laughed, in the short time Harry got to know Luca he found the snake hated to be blamed for things.
/If you say so/ Harry mimicked and laughed even more.
The horse faced woman almost hugged the dark lord, Jason was grateful she didn't. He most likely would have finally lost his temper and killed them for daring to touch him.
"So I shall be expecting Harry around noon tomorrow" Vernon nodded and shook Jason's hand.
"It was lovely to see you again Petunia" Jason said and nodded at the woman who just smiled and showed off her horse teeth. Voldemort had to hold in the shudder when he noticed Petunia's eyes looked him up and down, that couldn't be good.
As quickly as he could with out seeming rude Voldemort walked back to his house next door and thought over what he should do next and tried to forget the horse woman's eyes checking him out.
So far things were going in his favor but who knew how long that would last. The plan had been very risky, one mistake and all the dark lords work would go down the drain as muggles say.
/Master/ Lucius greeted the dark lord near the stairs and transformed back into his human form.
"Why are you not with Harry?" The dark lord asked and took off his brown dress shoes.
"His relatives have let him out of the cupboard (sp?) and getting him presentable for tomorrow" The blond opened his mouth then closed it. Voldemort studied Lucius and watched him as his cold grey eyes looked into the living room with what seemed to be worry in them.
The dark lord glanced in his living room to see what the blond was looking at but found nothing of interest. The red eyed man looked back at Lucius and noticed that the grey eyes weren't really staring at anything; they were just looking in that general direction.
This meant he was looking at…
"What's wrong with Harry?" Voldemort asked with a stony expression on his face. The long haired blond showed his surprise in his eyes but quickly tried to cover it up.
"When I left him, well his uncle was not being kind to him"
"His uncle is never kind to him" The dark lord snapped, making Lucius flinch.
"That is true my lord, but his uncle is being rather harsh even by normal abusive standers" The taller man looked down at his shoes unable to stand his masters red gaze any longer.
"Explain" Voldemort saw his servant shiver and grinned inside, it was nice to know just because he looked good he could still strike fear into his Death Eaters hearts.
"I believe his uncle may have broken something of Potters, I am not sure what bone, all I know my lord is that I could hear the crack of it breaking from under the floor boards and even over Ha-Potters screams"
The only thing that stopped Voldemort from letting his anger take control was the fact he was more surprised then angry. Lucius had a worried look in his eyes for Harry, and almost even called him by his first name.
How was it that in less then a week Harry managed to get Lucius, one of his coldest and most faithful Death Eaters to be concerned about him? How did his brat manage to that?
