Ch 1

Harry winced when a sharp pain shot through his left arm. He immediately changed into a silver and black robe and cloak. He fastened a silver mask to his face and picked up his wand. He flicked it once, removing all the glamours that he had placed on himself. He then tapped his left forearm with his arm and disappeared from Privet Drive.

He reappeared in a dark room. He made his way up to the throne placed at the head of the room. He bowed slightly to the man seated in the throne and took his spot to the side of the man. Soon many others appeared. Harry gazed at them when they came and bowed to the man on the throne. Once everyone was there the man stood up. "Tonight we shall go on a raid! Any suggestions on where we shall go, my Silver Serpent?"

Harry grinned evilly. "Why don't we go to Privet Drive?" Harry then whispered to Voldemort in parsletongue, 'After a little of fun I can reappear as Harry and be taken by the Order to HQ. I can pretend I was at the park or somewhere in the town near Privet Drive. I can 'come home' and you will try to capture me but I will be taken by the Order to HQ. It's a way for me to find out things in the Order. Do you agree, my lord?'

'I like it.' "We will go to Privet Drive!"

'Milord, I would like to have some fun with my relatives.'

'Very well.'

'Thank you my Lord.'

All the death eaters disapperated to Privet Drive. The last to leave where Voldemort and Harry. They arrived to find people screaming and the Dark Mark hovering in the sky. Both Harry and Voldemort grinned evilly and went their separate ways.

Harry quickly made his way to Number 4. He blasted the door and found his 'relatives' quivering in fear, huddled in the corner. Harry laughed a bone-chilling laugh and drew close to the people in the corner. "Hmmm… lets see. There is Vernon, Petunia, and Dudley."

Vernon's face purpled. "How do you know are names freak!"

Harry laughed, "You don't need to know. Hmmmm… lets start with you Vernon. CRUCIO!"

Vernon screamed and convulsed in pain. Harry just laughed. After a few minutes he got bored. "You are worthless. You don't deserve to live. AVADA KEDAVRA!"

Vernon fell dead and Harry turned to Petunia. He proceeded to go through the same procedure with her that he had done to his 'uncle'. When he was done he turned to Dudley. "How do you like watching your parents die? Now I will let you live, but I will take from you your sanity. CRUCIO!"

Harry kept the crucio on Dudley until his mind snapped. Harry sneered at the quivering mass that was his cousin. He then exited the house to find that the Order had arrived. He immediately apperated to the park and changed back to 'Harry'. He started running toward Privet Drive. He arrived there and Voldemort spotted him. "Potter! You shall die tonight!" Immediately all motion ceased. Then all of the death eaters started throwing spells toward him. He dodged and blocked them, sending back spells of his own. He allowed a crucio to hit him. A minute later an Order member pressed a portkey into his hand. He disappeared from Privet Drive and arrived in Order HQs.

A moment later Snape apperated in. "I am to stay with you. Now Potter, WHY WERE YOU NOT IN YOUR RELATIVES HOUSE! You were not to leave the house!"

Harry calmly replied, "I was bored. Besides, by my leaving the house could have very well saved my life."

"How?"

"Check and see how my relatives are doing. You maybe then might have your answer."

Snape handed Harry a potion. "This is to help with the side effects of crucio. Take it immediately."

Harry took the potion and was about to drink it when he inhaled the scent. He quickly put it down. "I refuse to take it."

"Excuse me Potter? Exactly why won't you?"

"You know perfectly well professor. I won't take the potion if it is laced with truth serum."

"How do you know that?"

"The smell."

"You, Potter, can identify the smell of Truth Serum, and you can't even pass my class!"

"I have been studying this summer."

The two lapsed into silence. Minutes later they both put a hand over their noses. Snape yelled, "What is that god awful smell!"

"That is garlic."

"Garlic?"

"Yes."

Harry suddenly started laughing. "What is so funny Potter?"

"You'll see."

A house-elf then walked in with a strand of garlic around its neck. It squeaked when it saw Harry. Harry laughed again. "That won't work you know. It is just a myth."

The house-elf didn't seem to hear. It started backing up and swung the garlic around. "Stay away from me!"

Harry just laughed. He then sneered. "Leave now. That smell is hurting my nose."

The house-elf squealed and ran from the room. The smell of garlic then disappeared. Harry turned to find Snape staring at him. "Why would the house-elf try to repel you with garlic. Usually they seem to worship you."

Harry grinned, "I forgot to mask myself. All magical creatures can sense others. Some can hide what they are from other creatures."

"You don't look like some creature Hagrid would probably like."

Harry laughed and removed wandlessly a glamour he had on. Not all of them, just one. He then grinned at Snape. Snape gasped and took an involuntary step backwards. "How long?"

"Being a vampire? At the end of fourth year I was turned."

Suddenly the rest of the Order members apperated in. They found Snape staring at Harry, who was smirking. Many looked inquiringly between the two. Then Remus, who had just apperated in (he arrived after the others), spoke, "Why does it smell like garlic?"

Harry answered, "That would be my fault."

"Your fault?"

"Yes."

Remus then narrowed his eyes at Harry, "There is something different about you. There is a slight aura of darkness around you."

That caused all of the Order members to look at Harry. He laughed and turned to Snape. "Told you magical creatures can sense others."

He then turned back to Remus, "Well wolf, didn't expect you with your small brain to notice so quickly."

Remus growled and many gaped at the way Harry was speaking to Remus. Remus snarled at Harry, "Didn't expect you to be a vampire. If you weren't the bloody Boy-who-lived I would have wiped you off the face of the earth."

Harry smirked and turned to Dumbledore. "I want to join the Order."

"You are too young Harry."

Harry's expression darkened but he spoke calmly, "That may be professor, but I have faced the Dark Lord more times than any one else here. And I survived. Now can you say that I can't join the Order?"

Dumbledore sighed, "You are right. We are having a meeting tonight. You can be inducted then."

Remus yelled out, "What! But he is a vampire! He can't be allowed to join!"

Harry calmly told him, "You are a werewolf. You too are a dark creature. If I can't join because I am a vampire, then you can't join because you are a werewolf."

Remus just scowled.

(Later)

"Tonight, Harry James Potter, will be inducted into the Order of the Phoenix. Do you promise, Harry, to work against Voldemort and all that he is trying to do?"

"I will."

"Good. Welcome to the Order of the Phoenix, Harry!"

Harry smiled. Dumbledore then turned to Snape, "Did you not know of the attack on Privet Drive beforehand?"

"No. He called us to a meeting and then told us that we were going on a raid. He then asked the man behind him for suggestions. The man suggested Privet Drive. He then whispered something to Voldemort that I could not hear. As soon as Voldemort dismissed us I apperated here and you know the rest."

"What is the name of the man you mentioned?"

"Voldemort called him the 'Silver Serpent'. The only other thing that I know about him is that he is very high ranking. There is also a rumor that says that the Silver Serpent is Voldemort's son."

Harry arched a brow. "Who started the rumor?"

"Why would you want to know?"

"Think about it. If a member of the Inner Circle started the rumor then it is possibly true. If a member not in the Inner Circle started it, then it is most likely not true. Who started the rumor and is he in the Inner Circle or not?"

"A women named Sierra started it. She is in the Inner Circle."

"Then the Silver Serpent is possibly the son of the Dark Lord. He could have told his Inner Circle that information."

"I have a question Potter."

"What professor?"

"Why do you keep calling Voldemort the Dark Lord?"

"Isn't that what he is, a dark lord?"

"Yes, but why do you call him that?"

"Have you not noticed that when you say the Dark Lord's name, people flinch?"

"Yes."

"Well it is easier than saying 'He-who-must-not-be-named' or 'You-know-who'. Also, that way people don't scream or flinch like they do when you say 'Voldemort'."

Snape nodded and then suddenly grabbed his arm. Pain also flooded through Harry's arm but he did not react. Snape stood up. "He is calling."

Snape left. A minute later Harry stood up. "It was a long day today. I'm tired and I am going to go to bed."

Harry left and went to his room in HQ. He placed several locking charms on the door and changed into his robes. He removed all of his glamours and disappeared from HQ.

Harry reappeared in the throne room. He walked up to Voldemort and bowed slightly. "Forgive me for being late my lord. Dumbldore held me up. They have inducted me into the Order."

"Very good. Stay after this meeting. I need to talk to you."

Harry nodded and took his place beside Voldemort. Voldemort then started speaking, "That was a wonderful raid! Even though Dumbledore's Order showed up, we still had a magnificent raid! Very good all of you!"

The meeting lasted an hour. When it was over they death eaters were dismissed. When they were all gone, Harry removed his mask. Voldemort then led Harry to his private chambers. "So, Dumbledore inducted you into his order?"

"Yes, my lord."

"Good, now I want you to ask him if you can be resorted. I want you to be a Slytherin, not a Gryffindor."

"Of course Master. Oh, I believe that Snape is a traitor. I want to investigate that further first though before I can say for sure."

"Very well. You may go now. Be careful."

"I will my lord. You can count on it."

Harry arrived back at the Order HQ. He removed his robes and replaced the glamours. He slipped into bed and fell asleep figuring of a way to question Snape about his loyalty.

( Next day )

Harry woke and went downstairs to find that only Snape in the kitchen. "Where is everyone professor?"

"Out."

"Beautiful answer."

"What do you want Potter?"

"I want to ask you a question."

"Oh? What is it?"

Harry jumped up and forced Truth Serum down Snape's throat. He smirked at Snape's vacant eyed expression. "Who are you loyal to? Voldemort or Dumbledore?"

"I am loyal to Voldemort. I spy on Dumbledore."

Harry nodded and gave the antidote to Snape. Immediately Snape started yelling, "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR POTTER?"

"I wanted to know where your loyalties lie. Now I know."

Snape paled and then smirked. "My Master will kill you Potter."

"Really?"

"Yes Potter, really."

"I would have agreed with you if it wasn't for the fact that the Dark Lord would never kill his servants, unless of course they were traitors."

"You Potter are a Death Eater?"

"Yes. Why look so surprised?"

"I would never expect you to join the Dark Lord."

"Well, after growing up with my relatives, I grew to hate muggles. I only forced the Hat to put me in Gryffindor because Lily and James were in that house. I only pretend to like Granger and Weasley so that people over look me and underestimate me."

"Over look you?"

"In a way. They would never think that I, the great Harry Potter, am I Dark Wizard."

"You have a point."

"Of course. Now don't tell anyone that I am a death eater. Only you and the Dark Lord know. It must be kept a secret for now."

"I won't tell. You have my word."

"Good. Truce?"

"For now, maybe one day we can be friends."

"Well said, well said."
