Speech: Voldemort thoughts

Speech: Harry's thoughts

Harry looked defiantly at the inhuman face of Voldemort!

The Dark Lord coldly hissed "Join me Harry Potter… with me as your teacher you could be great…"

Harry looked shocked at first, but he objected and Harry shouted in defiance "I will never join you Voldemort, I know that you will just use me as a tool for your own gains!"

Voldemort coldly said "You have made foolish decision, and just like your whole family, you will die. Now, Quirrell kill him!"

When Harry, tried to escape but an invisible force held him in place. With a crazed expression on his face, Quirrell sprinted towards Harry with blinding speed and he attempted to choking him. Instinctively Harry reached for his assailants face and he squeezed with all his might, terrible pain coursed through his veins as he and Quirrell screamed in agony.

(Harry 1st POV)

Ahhh! The pain… I feel like I am about to faint from the pain. I looked at Quirrell's and I saw a pained expression on his face, then I noticed something escaping from his forehead. When I took a better look, I noticed a orb of black light slowly seeping out of his withering body. When it finally escaped I could see the orb rocket towards my scar with the force of a bullet. Before I passed out a thin sheet of white light surrounded my scar but the orb of black light broke through and then I fainted.

(End Harry 1st POV)

Harry opened his eyes and gazed around, he saw that he was in a medium sized room that had white square tiles all over the room. Another chair suddenly appeared then a tall, skinny and very pale person sat on the seat. Harry looked around the room and many thoughts went through his head "What the hell, where am I right now?" The man had a long cloak that covered his face and after a moment of silence, Harry broke the silence.

Harry glared at the pale skinned man and he sharply yelled "Where are we and, who the hell are you?" The stranger took of his cloak and Harry gasped at the strangers snake like face.

The stranger glared coldly at Harry's surprised and he hissed coldly "I'm Lord Voldemort and I am currently inside your soul."

The boy-who-lived nearly fell out of his seat, but he controlled himself and Harry shouted demandingly "Get out of my soul Voldemort!"

When, Voldemort heard his enemy shout, he raised his hand and the snake faced man sharply hissed "Don't you think I have tried to do everything? I believe that you and I will be concealed within your soul for a time until I can find a solution."

Harry glared at his nemesis, who had a thoughtful look on his face when he sighed and he muttered "Ok, tell me how you became trapped in my soul."

The Dark Lord looked thoughtful for a moment, when he answered "Let's see, after you defeated my pitiful servant, I attempted to escape but when I escaped out of Quirrell's body through his palms I ended up inside your scar. Since your body was bursting with so much "light magic" I had to go inside the only part of your body that has any dark magic at all, your scar."

Harry sighed tiredly "Fine, we need to get you out of my body. How about telling Professor Dumbledore?"

The Dark Lord sneered at him mockingly "Yeah, let's tell Dumbledore and get him to help us. Are you touched in the head Potter, the foolish old man would sooner kill us than let me be free!"

Harry answered sarcastically "Well, I thought that the Dark Lord does not fear anyone? But, I would expect that from a Dark Lord who got defeated by a 1 year old."

The Dark Lord obviously had superiority complex, hissed with even more loathing "I feel no need to insult a little runt. Now, we need a real plan on how to get me out of your pitiful soul."

Harry knew this was a point that he was not going to win. "Fine, now we need to set some terms since we will probably be stuck with each other for a while."

The Dark Lord looked menacingly at his nemesis and coldly intoned "I agree since we will be "stuck" with each other as you eloquently put it, we need to have some rules. First rule is that I have access to part of your mind so I can see through your eyes.

My seco-"

Harry interrupted "Why should I give my enemy access to my eyes?" Voldemort sneered "Damn Gryffindors, don't you think before you talk? I will train and help you enough so that you and I will not die and in order for that happen I need eyes."

Harry glared menacingly at his nemesis but Voldemort laughed and he hissed "No use trying to look intimidating Potter. I've seen Flobberworms scarier than you! Go through puberty before trying to intimidate someone!" Harry walked towards Voldemort, he smirked and Harry calmly said "Your telling me to go through puberty? Your what fifty plus years old and have a high pitched voice with no hair."

Harry smirked victoriously as he walked back to his seat. As Harry was about to sit down, he heard a cold voice hiss

"Crucio!" The spell hit Harry and he dropped to the floor screaming, as he was writhing in pain he heard the sound another person screaming loudly. He felt like someone had inserted hot needles in every single millimeter in his body. After, a few minutes of agony Harry grabbed a hold of the chair and pulled himself up. Harry panted and angrily asked "What the hell did you do? Why were you screaming when you hit me with a spell?"

Lord Voldemort looked equally hurt but he still managed to smirk smugly "Like that Potter? Its called the Cruciatus Curse and its one of the Unforgivable Curses. It is very painful and it takes will power to use it. Not that you have the will to do it." Harry panted "Why were you hurt Voldemort?"

The Dark LOrd had an unreadable look on his face and he hissed "Now, my theory on why I was damaged by my own spell, is that since we are sharing the same soul, whenever you get hurt I get hurt to. So if you die, I die."

Harry thought to himself "When, I wake up I will ask help from the Headmaster. I don't care about Voldemort he could die for all I could care." Suddenly he heard his own thoughts broadcasted in the room loudly.

Voldemort sneered and he coldly hissed "So it seems like any thoughts going through your head, I will be able to hear as well. Nice try Potter, but if you tell Dumbledore he will kill you to defeat me."

Harry frowned, then defensively muttered "Professor Dumbledore will never do that to me. He was the one who saved me from my abusive relatives the Dursley's and he brought me here."

The Dark Lord sneered coldly "Yet, he was the one who allowed you to be brought to the Dursley's. He could have given you to a foster family or a wizarding family but he decided to give you to your abusive family. Now why did you think that?"

Harry frowned and he weakly said "Well he did not want me to be spoiled." Voldemort coldly smirked "So he would rather have you be abused than be spoiled? Since he was quite close with your parents he would know that your relatives hate you. Face it Potter, the old man could careless about you and all he wants is for you to be emotionally weak, so when you come to Hogwarts he could rescue you and become your mentor."

Harry looked thoughtful and after a minute of silence, he sighed tiredly "Your right… we can't go to Dumbledore. So what should we do to get you out of my body?"

Voldemort looked smug then he hissed "Ok I say that you and I should go to Diagon Alley this summer so we can gather some information. Now as much as I hate this Potter if you die then I die so I will give you this offer. I am willing to train you a little bit so we won't die. Do you accept my offer?" With great effort Voldemort managed to extend his hand and after a few seconds Harry grudgingly shook it.

Harry sharply said "Fine I accept your offer."

Voldemort thanwarnedHarry"I believe its time for you to wake up now." Before Harry could respond he felt the room begin to fade out into nothing. As if it never existed to begin with.

Harry woke up to see the smiling face of Albus Dumbledore above him. "Shit, what the hell am I going to tell him…Harry thought, when he heard a hissing voice sharply say "Tell the old man, that you defeated Quirrel and that the spirit of Voldemort lefthis body. I will be protecting your head from Legilimency.

Harry shouted "Sir! The Stone, it was Quirrell!" Harry then thought "What the hell is a Legilimency? He heard a calm voice in his head say"I'll explain what Legilimency later, I expected so much more from the Boy-Who-Lived.Dumbledore chuckled and he kindly said "Calm down Harry, Quirrell does not have the Stone."

Voldemort told him "Ask another question andsay itfrantic so he will believe that you have know idea what happened." Harry frantically shouted "Then who does sir, does-" Dumbledore chuckled and he calmly said "Calm down Harry, or else Madam Pomfrey will throw me out of the room."

Harry looked around and he saw piles of candy and letters. Before he could say anything Dumbledore cheerfully said "Tokens from your friends and admirers."

Harry quietly asked "Headmaster, how is Ron and Hermione and how long have I been here?"

Dumbledore smiled and he happily said "Your friends are already out of the hospital and, you have been here for 3 days."Voldemort hissed"Ask him about the Stone, Potter."

"Sir, what happened to the Stone and Quirrell?" asked Harry. Dumbledore calmly murmured "Professor Quirrell did not manage to take the Stone from you. When I arrived there Quirrell was already dead and all traces of Voldemort's spirit were gone. When I got their, you were doing a fine job in preventing Quirrell from stealing the stone. Also, the Flamel's have destroyed the Stone."

"Won't the Flamel's die if they don't have the stone?" Dumbledore took out a lemon drop popping one into his mouth, and said "To one as young as you it might seem incredible, but to Nicolas and Perenelle it's like going to bed after a very long day."Voldemort coldly hissed"Potter, ask him what happened to Lord Voldemort."

"What happened to Voldemort?" asked Harry. Dumbledore stroked his beard, he looked at Harry with his bright eyes and he murmured "When you defeated Quirrell, Voldemort left Quirrell's body and he escaped."

Harry quietly asked "Headmaster, why did Volde- I mean You-Know-Who, attack my parents. Voldemort thought to himself "Damn, the boy is getting inquisitive and he can't learn about why I attacked him, I cannot let him hear this or it might ruin my plans."

Dumbledore sighed and he said "Fear of a name increases the fear of the thing itself. Harry, I cannot tell you why he wants to kill you, until you're ready." Voldemort coldly hissed "Ask him why Quirrell could not kill you."

Harry, then asked "Do you know why Quirrell, couldn't kill me?" The powerful wizard looked thoughtful for a moment; he answered "The power of love Harry. If there is one thing Voldemort cannot understand it is love.

"The man is lying, love is a weakness and it will be your downfall." hissed Voldemort. "He didn't realize that love as powerful as your mother's for you would leave a mark."

The love of your mother left a scar inside your body, one that will always protect you even if the person who loves you is gone.

Voldemort hissed "He is lying, if your mother loves you then why did she even fight against me. By fighting against me, she knowingly endangered your life." "Quirrell full of hate and greed could not touch you for this very reason." There was silence for a few minutes and while Dumbledore was looking out the window.

Harry was having a battle within himself. Harry coldly muttered"If my mum did not love me then why did she die for me?" Voldemort knew that he had touched a nerve so hecontinued "She died not for you, but for herself. "Mum" did not want to live after, her husband died so she left you to be alone in the world."

Before Harry could answer back, Dumbledore said "So, do you have anymore questions Harry?"

Harry nodded and he murmured "Quirrell said that Snape hates me because he hates my dad."

Voldemort made a high pitch laugh and he hissed "Hate ha, your father was one of the reasons that turned Snape into the person you know today."

Dumbledore sighed and he murmured "Well, your father and Professor rather detested each other. Then your father did something Snape could never, forgive." Harry nearly fell out of his bed and he asked "What?"

The headmaster chuckled and, he murmured "Funny how the human brain works sometimes. Professor Snape, could not stand being in your father's debt so he believed that if he protects you, his debt will be paid and he could go back to hating your father's memory. Well I have to go Harry and I suggest you make a start on those sweets." He promptly left the hospital wing.

He heard Tom Riddle sharply say "Don't trust anyone. This is one of the most important lessons I could teach "Potter, check all the gifts for poison, the greatest Dark Lord will not be killed by candy beans. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

Harry asked "What is Legilimency Voldemort?"

The Dark Lord answered "Legilimency is a spell that allows you to look into another persons memories. Now I will be teaching you enough Occlumency which is used to block off a Legilimency attack. There are a few people who you should practice Occlumency against."

Harry asked curiously "Who else is a master Legilimens?"

Voldemort looked thoughtful for a second then he hissed "Aside from Dumbledore, Snape is very skilled in Occlumency and Legilimency so be wary around himHarry then stayed silent, and Madam Pomfrey came in. He asked Madam Pomfrey if Ron and Hermione could come in. After arguing for a little bit, she relented and Harry's friends came running in.

Hermione looked like she was restraining herself from hugging Harry and, Ron looked happy. Hermione first asked excitedly "Harry, what happened down there?"

Voldemort sneered and he hissed "This is the smartest witch in your year? Use commonsense mudblood, he is alive and the stone is saved."

Harry said "Shut up you wrinkly old snake." Harry, smiled at his friends and he tiredly said "Well, I defeated Quirrell who was being possessed by Voldemort and I also-"

Voldemort hissed "Don't tell them that you currently have a Dark Lord living in your body."Harry continued "-saved the sorcerer stone." They talked a little bit before Ron and Hermione had to leave.

After a good nights sleep, Harry was allowed to go to the feast. Gryffindor won the house cup with the extra points given to them by Dumbledore. Harry took one longing look at Hogwarts and boarded the Hogwarts Express. Entering a empty compartment with Ron and Hermione. He bought some candy for the three of them when the trolly cart came by.

Voldemort hissed "Remember check for poison and watch your friends carefully." Ron then brought out his chess set and he played Harry. After a few minutes of playing, Harry was becoming frustrated since Voldemort kept on giving him bad advice. Harry, finally saw his chance to defeat Ron when the compartment door opened with a loud thud. The chess set fell over which made Harry even madder and looked at the door to see Draco Malfoy being accompanied by his cronies.

Voldemort hissed "So, that's Lucius son. He looks like a runt to me, what a waste of semen, Lucius has a weak heir. Don't let him push you around attack him."

Draco sneered, he looked disgustingly at Harry and he said "You got lucky Potter, next year you should get yourself killed, since-" While Malfoy was insulting Harry before he could complete the sentence, Harry kicked him in the crotch. Draco groaned painfully and he crumpled to the ground while trying to ease the pain.

Hermione looked at Harry like she had never seen him before and she thought to herself "What's wrong with Harry, he has never been this violent before…"

Ron looked down at the blood in the floor and he thought to himself "Something'sbotheringwith Potter… I mean it is Malfoy but still." They both looked fearfully at Harry and they watched as he ran out of the compartment quickly.

When Harry made it into an empty compartment he was having a inner conflict Harry shouted to Voldemort "What did you do to me Voldemort!"Voldemort smirked and he hissed "I did not do anything, it was all you Potter."

Harry, thought to himself "What, the hell is happening to me…"

In the mean time Ron and Hermione were having a discussion about Harry.

Hermione sighed and she worriedly said "Something is off about Harry, Ron…"

Ron nodded and he angrily muttered "Yeah, Harry has never been this violent. What should we do because I don't think he is going evil but something is definitely wrong with him."

Hermione looked thoughtful for a second then she smiled brightly and she said "We should give Harry some space to think for a while."

Ron smiled agreeably and he brightly said "Your right Hermione, let's just let him think for a while before he decides anything."

The red haired boy curiously asked "Do you have any idea why that happened Hermione?"

She shook her head and then she muttered "Don't tell any of this to Harry, but from now on until he gets better we will have to inform Dumbledore ok?"

After a few minutes Harry entered Ron and Hermione's compartment. The Boy-who-lived muttered "I'm sorry for going crazy like that."

Ron looked at Harry straight in the eyes and said "If something is bothering you right now, you can tell Hermione and me."

Harry could not look straight at his eye and murmured "Not really, I just feel bad that I need to get back to the Dursley's." Ron smiled cheerfully at his friend.

Harry looked out the window and he saw that they were in King's Cross. Harry grabbed his stuff and he left the train saying goodbye to his fellow students. When he got out of the bus Harry heard Ron yell "See you later Harry!"

Harry put on a smiled and he happily shouted back "I'll see you later Ron and Hermione. After waiting for a few minutes, Harry saw Uncle Vernon and he followed him to the car. Harry tried not to laugh at the face of Uncle Vernon as they walked towards the door.

Voldemort sneered and he coldly hissed "So this is your scary uncle? I will not allow us to be pushed around this summer."

Harry calmly said "Yeah, I will be doing my chores but I will not let them push me around."

When Harry entered the car he saw that his relatives still looked the same and he heard the Dark Lord Hiss

"We need someone to bring us to Diagon Alley and, it seems like your trashy relative will not do it willingly so we need to blackmail them into driving us."

Harry was about to respond, when Uncle Dursley turned around and he boomed "Boy! We are having very important guest here at July 31. You better stay in your room and be quite when those guest come if you know what is good for you!"

Harry smirked and slyly said "Sure I will behave myself in exchange for something."

Voldemort hissed approvingly "Good, use his paranoia against him."

Uncle Vernon's face turned purple and he roared in fury "I will not let myself be pushed around by you people!"

His nephew only smirked wider and he murmured "Well, I guess the neighbors would want to know where I went for the year." This had the desired effect.

Uncle Vernon tried to smile but he just ended up looking constipated, he then forced a smile and muttered "Fine what you want me to do?"

Harry calmly murmured "When you're driving to work, I want you to drop me off in the big bookstore next to the record shop."

Uncle Vernon grunted his approval and he threatened "If you break your word boy…" He stopped and he became content with making comments about "freaks" and things kids wear these days.

When they arrived in the Dursley's home, Harry heard a voice coldly hiss "I will not allow my current body to be pushed around by trash. So, after your done doing your chores, I will start your training."

Harry entered his room, he sat on his bed and thought to himself This is going to be an interesting summer.

AN: This is my first chapter of my first Fanfiction "Harry Potter and the Tainting of the Soul." I would like to thank my beta Lord Nemesis Black and the person who gave me feedback ip82. My updates will be every 1-2 weeks since and they will be around 4-5 thousand words each.

Harry's soul will gradually become darker and darker. . I have no idea what the pairings will be and if I even have any. If I do have pairings it will not be H/G or slash and it will be pretty minor.

I know some people are going to say that Voldemort will not willingly train Harry but if Harry dies so does he. Voldemort will NOT MAKE HARRY SUPER POWERFUL since he just wants Harry to be able to beat his enemies but still easy enough to be killed by him. Voldemort will be like the voice of unreason within Harry.
