Chapter 4.
Harry avoided all contact with the Dark Lord for an entire week which was an impressive seeing as the man ate with the Malfoy's daily and could be found anywhere, Harry had resorted to hiding in the weirdest of places such as inside an ornate desk in the east wing because he had spotted Tom walking down the corridor and there was nowhere else to go, still Harry didn't know how he fit. He wasn't afraid per se, he just knew if he saw Tom he would want to jump the man which wasn't recommended and he needed a clear head. Harry had written to his friends and sent them portkey's with Lucius' permission, they would arrive in the entrance hall after lunch and an elf would bring them to Harry's room. He knew what they would talk about and he had a feeling they would be going to the dark a lot sooner than anticipated, Harry mentally cursed the Dark Lord for his good looks and amazing kissing skills.
Harry went down to lunch and wolf down his food before Tom had arrived, he all but ran from the room and skirted in the shadows until he reached the duelling room, he practiced his duelling and he made sure to feel all of his power, he felt the magic around him and grinned at the feeling. He froze when he heard something in the corridor outside, waving his wand to clear the room and threw his invisibility cloak over him just as Tom entered. The red eyes flicked around the room and a small smirk came to his face before he span and left the room, Harry sighed in relief but he knew he couldn't avoid the man forever, he would have to see him soon enough Harry would just drag out that occurrence for as long as possible. He jogged to his room under the cloak and only removed it when he was safely in his room, he threw it on to the bed, grabbed his clothes and went for a shower. He was came out dressed in dark green skinny jeans, white top and black dragon hide boots which were shin high, Harry left his hair down and threw some parchment on his desk.
"You are awfully good at avoidance." A smooth voice said to him, Harry span around to see the Dark Lord leaning casually against the wall, Harry mentally cursed as he tried to look anywhere but the man.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Harry said firmly and Tom smirked.
"An invisibility cloak often helps."
"I only used the cloak today." Then he cursed because he had all but admitted he had been avoiding the man.
"I thought you weren't avoiding me?"
"Damn it Tom, this is why I was avoiding you, I can't think and I need a clear head." Harry exclaimed wrenching at his hair, the man made his head spin and always had ever since second year, he wouldn't deny that he wanted the Dark Lord, badly, but he also needed a clear head. The Dark Lord glided over to him and Harry backed in to the desk, he cursed the fact he always seemed to end up in a place with no escape, Tom lightly bit his neck and Harry hummed in approval.
"And that's such a bad thing?"
"With you, yes." Harry felt the smirk.
"I want you at my side," He murmured as his kissed along the teen's jaw, Harry's thought patterns were blank as he was kissed, he found himself lifted on the desk with legs wrapped around Tom. They were so oblivious that neither heard the knock at the door or the people entering until someone gasped, they sprang apart and whipped towards the door to see Ron, Hermione and the twins, Harry groaned and buried his face in Tom's neck.
"I hate you so much right now, just so you know." Harry muttered and Tom chuckled.
"Oh I know,"
"This is going to take a lot of explaining." The Dark Lord smirked, kissed him heatedly again and swept from the room, Harry got up and fell face first on the bed with another groan.
"Definitely wasn't expecting that." Fred said with a grin,
"Looks like someone has been busy." George put in.
"Tell us all about it dear snake." They finished together, Harry sat up with a sheepish smile.
"Hey guys, fancy seeing you here, come in make yourselves at home." Harry said brightly, he shut the door and warded it with everything he knew, Hermione all but threw herself at him in a bone crushing hug.
"Oh Harry, I was so worried and I'm so confused, what on earth is that man thinking. I cannot believe him, and he's done this before, how much am I missing, what if-,"
"Let him breath, I'm sure Harry has something in mind, he always does." Ron gently peeled her of Harry who was going blue, he gulped a lungful of air.
"I need you two to lie down before I can explain anything and I warn you now; its bad." They nodded and led down, he started with Hermione and broke her blocks, there was more than the twins and it took a bit more out of him, she was out cold which was good for the time being as Harry didn't think she would take it too well. He broke Ron's next and watched pleased as the memories and charms broke, he came out of Ron's scape and woke them with a wave of his wand, the woke up and were sick which he banished quickly, he called an elf for 2 headache relievers and passed them out, once they were coherent they exploded. It took a solid 5 minutes to calm them down and they were both looking mutinous when they were sat, Ron had his wand out and his eyes were flicking to the door as if he was questioning going to murder someone at that point and Hermione was gripping the arms so hard Harry was generally surprised they hadn't broke.
"I don't have to explain much now do I?" Harry began and they shook their heads.
"We need to tell you things though, we were obliviated again this summer before you got to us." Ron got out and Harry hissed.
"Before you explain," George began.
"How about you remove those awful glamours?" Fred finished, Hermione's eyes widened and she let out a horrified squeak before bolting to the bathroom.
"Oh Merlin, I forgot I used to look like this." She came out of the bathroom looking completely different, the bushy brown hair, bucktoothed, plain girl was gone, she was replaced by an elegant, stunning girl. Hermione had smooth curly long chocolate hair that fell just past her waist, finished features and sparkling dark eyes. Her figure had changed too, she had beautiful curves and mile long legs, an arrogant smirk graced her features.
"Damn Mione, I forgot you looked that good." Harry told her with a smirk of his own.
"Likewise Potter, your turn Swift." Ron disappeared and a yelp sounded from the bathroom before he came back out, Harry blinked a few times.
"Whoa, now that's a change." Ron had more auburn hair than the vivid Weasley red, he had a nice toned body, less freckles, sharper features and crystal blue eyes, the red head grinned.
"This feels good,"
"Now were back to our beautiful selves," Harry said and they laughed.
"I miss us," Hermione smiled and the other members of the trio grinned.
"Back to business, we have a few matters that we need to sort." The rest of the room scoffed.
"A few, Snake, that's like saying the Malfoy's have blonde hair."
"First thing is Dumbledore." All faces darkened.
"He has to go, at the soonest convenience, light or dark; he's gone." Harry stated.
"We have all the information we need to ruin him, it just needs to be done correctly but then we have you for that." Hermione said.
"True, Swift I need you to begin planning how we are going to work around my isolation, you are best at strategy." Ron nodded.
"I can't begin a plan until we know where your new quarters are situated. The map will be a key aspect, golems will be needed and I think I may have something that will help us more than we know." Harry raised an eyebrow and Ron smirked.
"Well last year we were in the department of mysteries and there were a lot of timeturners just hanging around so a grabbed one or 12."
"Swift, I could kiss you right now." Harry breathed.
"I wouldn't be too opposed but I don't believe the person you were locked in heated tongue battle would agree." Harry blushed lightly.
"Who was that?" the twins asked and Harry wrinkled his nose, Hermione tilted her head before it snapped up to look at him through narrowed eyes, Harry swallowed.
"Snake," She began slowly, "Please tell me that wasn't who I think it was." Harry winced at the tone, she wasn't happy.
"Um,"
"I cannot believe you, I knew you said you wanted him even though it was impossible, now he's here I didn't think you would actually go for it." She burst out.
"Wait, the only person Harry said he wanted that he could have would be the Dark Lord well Tom Riddle at least." Ron said slowly before he whipped round.
"The basilisk is human." He breathed. "Snake, how in Merlin's name?"
"It wasn't even my fault." Harry told them but they both just raised their eyebrows at him.
"He made the first move."
"What happened before?"
"Well it was the ball so-," he was cut off by 4 groans.
"Snake, you haven't been yourself for years in public, no one knows what you can be like out of the 'golden boy' image, not only do you not look extremely different but there's something about how you act."
"I know, but it was so fun, which reminds me I have to ruin Parkinson next time I go to Gringotts."
"You caught his interest and now he won't stop until his has what he wants, you know this, you're exactly the same." Harry smirked at that.
"Which is why I will keep twisting until I have what I want. Come on, you said yourself I've always wanted him, why can't I make sure I get what I want, you know I will make sure I have the perfect situation before I settle."
"He has a point." Ron conceded and Hermione nodded.
"So we're dark then." Harry grinned,
"Oh no, we are definitely neutral, he has his work cut out if he thinks I'll be easily swayed." They grinned,
"Just checking you haven't lost your touch."
"Please,"
"What else have you got planned?"
"Well Manic and Panic did a marvellous job at clean up so until the 29th I am free to put everything in order, I found out that the old fool is using my house seats, which means someone else is probably using yours with a proxy Swift and Paws yours is probably empty." Both thought for a second and a lord and lady ring appeared on their fingers, Ron held the Prewett family ring and Hermione held the McKinnon ring. Harry had found a handy loop hole for Ron to claim the ring and of course the goblins were only too happy to screw others over to aid their top client, as there were no male Prewett's left it went to Molly but she was married to Arthur, as they had kids Bill was the Weasley heir and he could claim the Prewett ring but they had multiple children so it would go to Charlie, the Goblins had found a brilliant line in the rules that stated if the Lord ring wasn't claimed by its next in line within 1 year the heir forfeits the direct choice and the ring can be claimed by any with Prewett blood. Usually a father would present their son with the heir ring at 11 and they heir could claim the Lordship at 15 if there was no one left in the family or they would wait until their father stepped down or died. Charlie had never came forth to claim his right so Ron stepped up and claimed the ring, the goblins were only too happy to be dealing with the Prewett fortune again to them gold was gold.
Hermione was a true shock, they did a blood chance on an off chance but when it popped up she was a direct descendent from the supposed dead McKinnon line they were shocked speechless, it turned out that the McKinnon's has a squib and didn't disown the child before they give it for adoption after birth and they died before they could officially disown the child, Daniel Granger was in fact Daniel McKinnon; Squib. Hermione snapped up the opportunity to claim the heiress ring as squibs couldn't claim in the wizarding world, she was officially Lady Hermione Granger-McKinnon as there were no other blood relatives alive and the goblins were only delighted to keep that information quiet, both Ron and Hermione had begun investing and building their names up in the shadows like Harry and the gold was flowing more than ever.
"If he's using your seats for proxy it means he's been blocking laws, ones which could possibly be for our favour."
"He has, the werewolf and vampire laws were blocked with my seats, I'm going to the goblins to see if they can twist a few lines in the Peverell and Black Lordship lines, if they can Narcissa will proxy the Black and Tom will place Lucius and proxy for Peverell, unfortunately I can't do anything about Potter and Gryffindor and the Potter house is set to gain another seat by the end of the summer, the muggle business' have bloomed better than we thought." Harry told them.
"There's nothing we can do about that and we cannot start working on Dumbledore until we have all of our information from the chamber." Hermione sighed.
"What was it you had to tell me, you said you were obliviated again?" Harry asked.
"Yes, were overheard some of the orders plans and Molly and Ginny's plans for you." Ron began with a scowl, he didn't count them as family at all.
"You will have to be on your guard this year more than ever, love potions and liquid imperious." Harry snarled.
"What else?"
"They are definitely going for Scrimgeor as minister, and something is happening with Remus, but we were caught before we could find out, their planning something with him." Ron said and Harry frowned.
"We will have to get eyes and ears on them, we have so much hidden in the chamber." Hermione's eyes widened.
"The edited map, eyes and ears." Harry blinked before grinning.
"I knew we were geniuses."
"Guys, you are still gathering information about the order yes?"
"We've been leaving listening devices around HQ and we have them scattered around the Burrow, we will collect them on the school run."
"Right, that will keep us up to date on what their planning next. Ron will plan as soon as we find out where I'm locked up too, Mione will be sorting through our accounts to forward our businesses and our dirt and I will be building ways to get rid of Dumbledore." They nodded.
"I want Swift to plan a way to get rid of Umbridge just in case Scrimgeor does get the minister position, she needs to go, and everything else depends on when we fall."
"Are you going to continue the DA?"
"I might, or I may bring it to a select few and teach them everything we've been learning, of course now we've got our full power back you will have to redo everything before I can start teaching again, I've already caught up and I can still duel." They nodded.
"Gentlemen, you need to get on the creative front, any ideas that come to you which could help us. I'm not too worried about getting caught now Swift has managed to get his hands on timeturners." The twins nodded.
"We've been thinking, we could create a eyes and ears map of HQ and the Burrow multiple copies so we can watch them at all time, if we can somehow get in to Dumbles office we can hook the eyes and ears in there too." Harry's eyes lit up.
"Use Winky, Dumbledore always said Tom underestimated other being's magic but so does he, he believes everything in the castle is loyal to him but the castle itself hates the man, do what you can."
"What have you said to the Dark Lord so far?" Hermione asked as the guys started to plan.
"We've discussed the school, I suggested putting someone from the ranks as the DADA professor, I also pointed out Umbridge would be a very bad idea."
"Someone suggested that!"
"Nott and Malfoy Sr's, I had fun with Nott." Harry smirked.
"I can imagine, what was his response?"
"He would look in to it, we also discussed the ministry and he said we should go ahead with Dumbledore, he is confident in his abilities to sway me."
"We will be swayed, we knew that from the beginning, it's just when it will happen." Hermione pointed out and Harry nodded.
"I don't know what to do Paws, I refuse to get drunk on his power which I am sure he has used to his advantage to get what he wants, I know I've done it myself but I can't deny I want him badly. It's not like it will start a relationship and I don't care if it's only casual but I cannot think around him, and its driving me crazy." Harry was pacing and threw his hands up.
"Snake, breath," She ordered and Harry took a deep breath.
"Now, what do you do when you are fishing for something you want?"
"Create interest, entice, stay out of reach then strike." Harry recited immediately, it was a game play he always used and it had yet to fail.
"You have created interest that much is clear. I think you have enticed but you can always extend on that," She smirked at him and Harry grinned, enticement was so much fun when you were beautiful.
"I need to keep focus, soon I will have to answer him. Only today he said he wanted me at his side." Harry muttered.
"Wait what?"
"Before you came in, Tom said he wanted me at his side."
"What in Merlin's name have you been doing?" She demanded and Harry was confused.
"Being myself, why?"
"He said at, Harry, not on but at, there is a difference. You've caught his attention, not only interest."
"How long shall I hold out, I want to have some fun?"
"I say first week of school, that way if gives us time to sort everything and you said you we're going to Gringotts." He nodded with a smirk.
"I'm thinking I can up the enticement though, it'll be fun to make him sweat. Being the Dark Lord he usually gets what he wants." Hermione grinned at him.
"Snake, we have a plan, the maps should be up and running by the first week of school." Fred said with a strange glint in his eye which was mirrored by his twin.
"Ron will work on the Burrow, Kreacher already knows HQ and the headmaster's office is ours." George stated and Harry nodded.
"Good, keep me informed."
"Will do,"
"Right, I will be leaving here in 11 days. We know me and Paws cannot act until we are back at school, getting to the chamber will be the first task but we our memories back it is much simpler, we just have to find the dungeon passage. In the first week or so we will fall, we have lots to sort out thanks to that fool so the time turners will be used, we will complete the day then go back to leave the school. Gringotts is going to take a while and I have a feeling Ragnok will not be pleased."
"Agreed, I can start plans for Umbridge as soon as I get back. I will begin the basis for working around your isolation but I can't fully begin without knowing where you are and I will also work with the twins." Ron said.
"We will collect listening devices during the school run, create the maps and we were thinking a communications device, like a mirror but something more inconspicuous, we will look in to it." George suggested and Harry tilted his head.
"The idea has merit but concentrate on the eyes and ears." Harry told them and they nodded.
"I can help and I will jot down things we need to go over but I'm helpless until we get in to the chamber, I can't even remember everything we have down there its so frustrating, damn that man."
"Just remember, when we get back to school, you will have nothing to do with me." Harry reminded them and they nodded.
"Last thing, OWL's?" Harry said, "Now I know Paws passed everything what about you Swift you weren't too sure on a few exams."
"Aced them except history and divination, E's in everything 'cept Defence, Charms and Potions where I got O's." Ron told him proudly and Harry grinned.
"I knew you would pass, the amount of work you put in it was impossible for you not too."
"What subjects are we going to continue?" Hermione asked and Harry frowned.
"I'm not sure, obviously history and divination are gone but I was confused on care."
"I think it would be best if we all dropped care, we just wont have the time otherwise, even with the timeturners we need rest." Hermione pointed out and the others nodded.
"Right, dropping care, history and divination, are you keeping Arithmancy and Runes?" Hermione tilted her head in thought.
"I think I'll have to, it will be suspicious if the studious Hermione Granger suddenly drops a subject she aced, history is understandable, I can say I can't bare Binns and I'm self studying for the NEWT's McGonagall will buy it." She pointed out and Harry nodded.
"Ok well I think that's everything we can sort for now. Oh, and we will meet on the second evening of term to begin planning, we need to get our hands on the school eyes and ears." Harry said to them as they rose to leave.
"We had better go; the meeting will have finished now." Mione said casting a tempus.
"I have you covered and in dire situations Dobby will come, he's taking you back now actually." The elf popped in.
"Dobby has Master Harry's friend safe." He said before popping them away, the twins activated their own portkeys and disappeared in a flash, Harry sighed and flopped down. He was a sitting duck until they got back to school and he hated it, if he was spotted outside before the 29th he would be screwed so he couldn't go to Gringotts yet just to be safe, at least he would have fun with the Dark Lord, Hermione was right, once Harry set his sights on something he went after it until he got it. With a smirk Harry rose and left the room, it was approaching dinner so he went straight to the dining room to eat, he was thankful to Hermione for giving him a verbal slap, he wasn't thinking clearly but he was sorted now. It was time to play his game. He straightened himself up as he walked and made his magic swarm him, wrapping around him like a glove and making his eyes glow, his expression blank. Harry took his place next to the Dark Lord with a nod to the occupants.
"Did your meeting go accordingly?" Tom asked him.
"Yes, plans have been set in to motion, it seems Dumbledore has become rather callous with the use of his wand. He will have to be removed regardless of my decision." Harry told him.
"Is that so?"
"Hmm, unfortunately I cannot begin those plans until I have returned to the castle. However, I do have Swift, Manic and Panic working on aids for the upcoming year. As I am being isolated we will have to move in the shadows but it will be done." Tom nodded once.
"You are confident?"
"Of course, Dumbledore will be in for a surprise at the beginning of this year, I will begin ruining him as soon as I have set the clauses at Gringotts. With the aids being created we will skate around unnoticed." Harry confirmed.
"Lucius, Narcissa, once Harry has had his clauses written you will be taking up in the wizengamot. Narcissa you will be the Black proxy and Lucius you will be sitting for the house of Peverell." Tom told them and they looked shocked but nodded.
"When will this be My Lord?" Lucius asked Tom who looked towards Harry.
"I should be at Gringotts by the 10th, it depends on timetables and staff appointment, I usually have a DADA teacher with an unusual interest in me." Harry rolled his eyes and Tom smirked.
"This year I think you will be fine, the DADA teacher won't stop you from leaving the school."
"You have filled the position?" Harry questioned shocked and Tom nodded.
"Who?" Harry just received a smirk, the Dark Lord rose from the table and swept from the room, Harry watched him leave with a smirk curling to his lips and his eyes glowing.
"Harry," His attention snapped to Draco who was looking at him in a very Hermione-like way.
"Draco?"
"Come to the library?" The dark haired teen nodded and followed him out, he threw himself in to a chair and looked at the blonde.
"You called?"
"I know that look," The blonde stated, "Are you clinically insane?" Harry merely smirked.
"You sound like Mione."
"Well she's smart."
"Just let me have my fun, I have 11 days left before I leave." Harry said with a crooked grin.
"On your head, but try not to get your self in too much shit." Draco sighed and Harry rolled his eyes as he got up.
"You know me,"
"That's not reassuring." Draco called after him. Harry smirked as he ran his hand through his hair as he went down a corridor, he casually leaned against the door frame of the duelling room as the Dark Lord practiced, and it was amazing to watch. Harry took in detail every movement, the code name basilisk really was fitting because Harry could see Tom was wound waiting for the perfect moment to strike, with a final slash of his wand the Dark Lord finished the duel.
"Is there any particular reason you are stood there?" Tom's voice interrupted Harry's musings.
"No specific reason." Harry replied pushing himself of the frame, he slowly stepped in to the Dark Lord's sight and took pleasure when the man's eyes raked him hungrily, Harry tilted his head to the side.
"Of course there could be multiple reasons for me watching you." Harry casually glanced over Tom and licked his lips, he noticed that the Dark Lord followed the movement and he stepped closer.
"Oh, and what could they be?" Tom's voice was lower as he moved closer.
"I can think of a few,"
"Hrm," Harry stepped around the Dark Lord,
"But they would be my reasons." Harry let his breath run against Tom's neck, he kissed the pale skin and then lightly bit down drawing a hiss.
"Are you sure want to play this game?" Tom murmured and Harry smirked against his neck.
"How else am I going to get what I want?" The Dark Lord chucked.
You should be careful snake he hissed and it sent shivers down Harry's spine, he didn't know parceltongue could sound so damn hot.
There is no fun in sticking to the rules Harry replied he silently stepped away as Tom span around, Harry slowly backed toward the door with his eyes constantly watching the Dark Lord's movement.
I love the thrill Harry hissed before he left and disappeared down the corridor, he smirked to himself; let the fun begin.
Harry had been dancing around the Dark Lord for a week, he was having fun teasing and making the man want him, it was probably a new experience for Tom not to have whatever he wanted straight away. Harry took vindictive pleasure in making the crimson eyes darken and the hungry look was a prominent whenever they were in the same room, he knew it was only a matter of time before Tom made his move as Harry was leaving in 3 days and the Dark Lord would only let the games continue for so long. All through the week he had found himself pushed against many walls and snogged senseless; not that he was complaining. He was generally surprised none of the Malfoy's had caught them at it, the Dark Lord had the tendency to appear out of thin air and kiss him in the most open places. Harry pulled on his tight black skinny jeans and a tight black top, he was going to practice today as it would probably be the last time until he managed to get to the chamber, he went to breakfast forgoing robes because he would only be taking them off and Lucius could screw himself and 'proper decorum'. Everyone turned to look at him when he entered the dining room and Harry spotted the slight whitening of Tom's knuckles as he gripped his fork that little bit harder, he withheld a smirk and sat down.
"Where are your robes?" Lucius asked in a stiff tone, Harry knew the man was keeping himself from sneering, he didn't want to anger someone with so many titles.
"I am going to be duelling, I refuse to where robes to eat when I will be taking them off in minutes and before you ask my duelling robes are custom made and they cost around your entire wardrobe; I'm not wearing them for practice." Harry told him bluntly, nothing else was said but Tom raised an eyebrow with a smirk, Harry raise a shoulder and shot a pointed look that said 'and you're going to complain when?'. He ate quickly and left for the duelling room, Harry set up the dummies and began, he relished in the feel of his magic thrumming around him as he cut down the opponents. Harry span and twisted his movements swift and graceful, it was like a deadly dance. He went through everything he knew even attempting some of the spells he had read about, they came naturally and he mixed them in to his duelling, he finished with his patronus and pumped it with power making it fill the room with a blinding white light. When it dulled he found himself face to face with the Dark Lord, Harry had his lips claimed roughly and his hands somehow ended twisted themselves in to Tom's hair as strong hands gripped his hips, tongues battled for dominance even though Harry knew he had no chance in winning. His body arched as Tom bit down on a particularly sensitive spot on his neck Harry released a breathless moan, he pulled the Dark Lord back to his lips, when they broke apart they were both panting slightly and Harry was flushed.
"Really have to stop doing that in open places." Harry muttered with a grin, Tom smirked.
"Where's the thrill in that?" Harry nipped Tom's bottom lip gaining hiss, Tom kissed him again.
"I have very short patients," The Dark Lord murmured lowly and Harry smirked.
"But you will wait,"
"What makes you so sure?" Harry slowly kissed his neck until he was right next to his ear.
"Because you always get what you want." He twisted out of the mans hold and slipped away, he couldn't help but grin, the man was on his last patients and honestly he was surprised he hadn't found himself taken against a wall in a corridor, that image was an alarmingly pleasant one. Harry shook his head and went to his room, he pulled out 2 set of clothes and packed the rest of his trunk so he was ready to leave, timing would be key. Winky popped in looking happy about something, she handed him a letter and to sheets of parchment.
"From Mr's Manic and Panic, Master Harry sir," She squeaked cheerfully, Harry took them with a word of thanks and she popped away, he ripped open the letter.
Snake,
Eyes and Ears ready for both extra record, clues for isolation not defined. Swift working double; genius. Listeners ready, chickens ignorant, ASAP. Your copies, blood locked, no activation without, Bp: In The Shadows, e&e: Watcher, Bd: Information Received, Cp: Secret Spy, e&eViewer, Cd: Secrets Heard.
M&P
Harry could have done a fucking happy dance, he was ecstatic, the twins had truly outdone themselves with the recording detail, that would help them to review a meeting or a conversation. He rooted a blade out of his trunk and sliced his palm, he let the blood drip on one of the blank sheets of parchment Winky had brought with her, they flashed gold before elegant script made its way on to the page; Welcome Snake, to the Burrow. He tapped it with his wand and muttered In the Shadows and watched as the layout of the burrow appeared in the same fashion as the marauders map, he saw that only Molly and Ginny were in the house at the current time, he tapped the sheet again and muttered Watcher and watched with a smirk as the view shifted so he could see what was happening in each room like a birds eye view, he spoke each room and grinned when the map shifted and zoomed in so he could be sat in each of the rooms, he left it on the kitchen where Molly and Ginny were speaking ironically about him.
Now Ginny you have to make sure everything goes to plan, he will be vulnerable now Ron and Hermione think they don't speak to him so he will be alone and crave any company. Molly told her as she flipped some sausages in the pan.
I know mum, I will make sure I'm available for him and when he's at his weakest I'll make my move, if he rejects it I'll slip him the potion but I doubt he will with a few compulsions. Ginny flicked her hair over her shoulder and Harry retched, there was no way on earth that he would be touching that, he was quite happy playing his games with Tom.
Good girl, you are much more reliable than your stupid brothers, Ron and the twins are such let down, I don't understand how I could produce children like that. Molly shook her head and Harry scoffed, he was pretty sure the twins and Ron thought the same about being related to them.
Your father will be home soon, he doesn't know about the potions so lets not tell him, Professor Dumbledore said it would be best if he didn't know. Ginny nodded and Arthur apperated in, Harry shook his head, the fact that the man went along with some of the schemes was enough to put him against Harry. He wiped the burrow parchment and repeated the same process with the HQ sheet, there were more people in HQ such and Remus Lupin and Mad eye, he zoomed in on the room that Remus was sat in and was slightly alarmed, the werewolf was sat in the drawing room just staring at the wall, he looked ill and Harry guessed it was Sirius' death, Harry was looking forward to telling the marauder just who was responsible for his best friend's death. Harry checked all the other rooms and found the room where Swift and Paws were sat working over something, the room was warded so tight Harry would have a job breaking it, they were speaking in low tones and in code just to be safe, Harry called Dobby and the elf appeared.
"What can Dobby be doing for Master Harry Potter?"
"I need you to take this to Swift and Paws." Harry told him, he quickly scrawled a note.
Swift & Paws,
The eye is in the building, be careful, oh and M&P were successful.
Snake.
He rolled it up and gave it to the elf, Harry watched as the elf popped over to Swift and Paws and they read the note, Hermione's eyes widened and they hurriedly charmed everything and placed it away. Ron looked directly at where the viewing spell was placed and sent Harry a link of signals, it told him the plans for his isolation was looking good and Umbridge was as good as dead, Harry grinned as they relaxed back and were reading books when Mad eye came to 'check' on them. He continued to watch the HQ but he didn't catch any interesting conversations, he did hear that they were still watching the Dursley's and apparently he Harry wasn't showing any strange behaviour only acting a bit down, Harry absolutely no fucking idea what the twins had done but he would have to pat them on the back when he next saw them. He didn't realise but he had missed lunch until he cast a tempus and read that it was 3:30, he cursed because Narcissa would have his head at dinner, he would have to charm her. Harry pulled out some more parchment to write back to the twins,
M&P,
Perfect on both, locked in, Swift on isolation. Listeners after bank, begin communication, experiment and find block for LP.
Snake.
He summoned Winky and sent it with her, Hedwig was giving him a scathing look and Harry frowned, she obviously wanted work and was getting jealous. Harry slapped himself on the head, Ragnok would kill him if he just turned up so he thought it best to write to the goblin to inform him of his arrival.
Director Ragnok,
There have been some interesting developments during these summer months that may answer some of your quires about my and my associates behaviour over the last year and a half. I would appreciate it greatly if you could see us on the 10th of September so we can sort through everything and hopefully clear everything up.
Sincerely,
Lord Harry James Potter-Black-Peverell-Gryffindor.
Harry stamped each of his rings under his name to assert it was indeed him, the head Goblin was bound to have questions and would demand answers which they could now give. He called Hedwig over and she looked down her beak at him before turning away, Harry sighed and walked over to her, he had obviously pissed his owl off.
"Hey girl," He cooed stroking her gently.
"I haven't forgotten you but I don't want the fool getting close to you, I'm worried." He told her softly but she didn't look at him.
"If you don't want to take my letter to Gringotts I'm sure Draco has another owl-," She snatched the letter from his hand with her beak then she hit him with it with a glare.
"You were the one being awkward," She glared some more then shook her head in a resigned sort of way.
"Get that to Gringotts for be beautiful, it's important that you're not seen." He said and she bobbed her head before taking flight, Harry decided to go to the library to finish copying the Malfoy books, he was still smirking at the maps and his smirk only grew when he saw the library was empty apart from the Dark Lord who was reading and jotting things down. Harry stalked forward and when the man put the book down Harry straddled him and claimed his lips, he leaned down to roughly bite Tom's neck and he swore Tom growled but the sound sent a shudder through Harry, he leapt up and disappeared in to the rows of shelves just as Lucius walked in to grab something, Tom spewed out some curses in parcel and threw Harry a look that promised repercussions, Harry flashed a challenging smirk and Tom's eyes flashed in acceptance and he left. Harry chuckled to himself as he took the final books down which he had yet to copy, he knew he had just set himself for something unknown but he couldn't resist and that was a perfect opportunity. Harry shrank his copied books and replaced the originals, he took them to his room and locked them away, he made his way down for dinner and as expected Narcissa glared at him.
"Cissa, you will have to excuse my awful absence at lunch this afternoon, I had something unavoidable delivered." He told her and her glare lessened.
"I thought I told you not to miss a meal?" She said.
"It was a complete mistake, I was in no way discounting your instructions, in fact I have to thank you, your warm hospitality and kindness has helped me more than you know." He kissed her hand and flashed his faultless charming smile, he did an internal happy dance when the cool crisp Narcissa Malfoy blushed lightly, out of the corner of his eye he saw both Malfoy men's jaws drop in shock and the Dark Lord covered his smirk of amusement with his hand.
"Oh it is no trouble Harry, you are more than welcome."
"However I do appreciate it and I apologise for missing lunch, thank you for your concern." He flashed another smile and watched as her blush darkened, Draco was looking at him in awe and Lucius was a picture of shock, Harry sat down and kept the smirk of off his face as Narcissa cooled her face down and the Malfoy men wiped their faces of all shock. They ate dinner with light conversation and a relaxed atmosphere, Narcissa turned to him with a confused look.
"What was delivered for you to miss lunch?" This time Harry had no qualms about smirking in triumph.
"Remember I mentioned the aids Manic and Panic were working on?" She nodded.
"Well they were delivered today and they were better than I expected, possibly one of the best things that could have happened at this precise moment in time." Harry told her which caught the interest of the rest of the table.
"What is it?"
"Something that myself and the others created, it will let me watch the order at all times no matter where I am." Harry told them and grinned when her eyes widened, he gave Tom a short nod to say he would let the man see it.
"That's impressive,"
"It will probably help me dodge their wonderful plans for me; I've got Manic and Panic working on an all-round love potion counter because I know that I'll get dosed with it this year." Harry's eyes narrowed at the thought, he would make them burn in hell.
"What!" She exclaimed horrified.
"Oh yes, I will fall hopelessly in love with Ginny Weasley and when I tragically die in battle all of my gold will go to her and Molly." Harry saw the Dark Lord's eye twitch at the mention of him falling in love with Ginny, "They are off their fucking heads, I wouldn't touch that even on love potion." Harry's lip curled in revulsion, and it was a mark of how outraged Narcissa was that she didn't comment on the language.
"They would stoop that low for money?"
"Molly Weasley had her own sons' obliviated and charmed for my money and titles." Harry said bluntly and her eyes widened again.
"That's disgusting,"
"That is Molly Weasley with a side of the head chicken." Draco snorted then blushed and covered it with a cough.
"Dumbledore?" Tom asked amused and Harry grinned.
"Of course, the order of the fried chicken, fitting don't you think?"
"Indeed," Harry finished his meal and went back to his room, he wanted to watch out for a meeting with the order just in case, he would be around them in two days and he wasn't looking forward to it really. He activated both maps and suspended them in mid air as he lead back and read, he noted Remus hadn't moved and it seemed Ron and Hermione were surrounded by everyone else, he would love to be in there thoughts right at that moment. He watched as Molly cooked for the order and he saw her place something in Hermione's food, he sat up furious because his spells didn't work for potions and there was nothing he could do, Molly handed her there the bowl when suddenly it shattered spraying it everywhere and in the very corner he saw Dobby disappear back in to the shadows and Kreacher snatch the bottle from Molly's pocket, he smirked; house elves were great. It still didn't make him less pissed and Paws would only be more enraged when he told her, he would have to reward both the elves, he didn't know what potion it but he would find out. Harry read his way though an interesting book he found from the chamber of secrets, it was a memory modification spell but it was in parcel and could only be undone by parcel magic with was very handy, it worked different from an obliviate because it didn't hide memories it changed them in to the casters wishes so they truly believed the memories to be correct instead of blank patches. He also found a handy masking spell which would mask the casters magic, scent and presence so under the invisibility cloak they would be undetectable, he noted it down and then cast a tempus. Harry was shocked to see the clock said 11, he put the book down and deactivated the parchments, he hopped in the shower to change for bed, Harry pulled on black silk bottoms and fell in to bed he was exhausted.
Harry awoke with a scream of pain and he nearly cursed Draco who was hovering over him shaking, instead he rolled over and spewed his guts up, he wiped his face and saw there was blood running.
"Harry, what in Merlin's name was that?"
"I am going to fucking murder him." Harry snarled vanishing the sick and getting out of bed, he couldn't remember what he saw but his scar was on fire and he was pissed.
"The Dark Lord?"
"You would be correct, bastard needs to sort this out."
"I am going to leave that to you, night." The blonde vanished back to his room and Harry knew he would speak to him in the morning, right now he had someone to scream at. He stormed from his room, ignoring the fact he was half naked, and followed his scar to the Dark Lord, he hammered on the door furiously only stopping when it was thrown open.
"What are you doing?" the man hissed and Harry laughed.
"Well I was fucking sleeping until I woke because of this goddam scar." Harry spat glaring at the person who put it there.
"You're hammering on the door because?"
"You put the damn thing there fix it, I am so sick of the fucking thing, its like you failed to kill me you left something thereā¦" Harry trailed off and his eyes took on a glazed look as he gazed at nothing and the Dark Lord paled significantly, suddenly Harry's eyes snapped up to Tom.
"You didn't?" He breathed harshly, "Tell me you didn't?"
"I-what?"
"You didn't leave anything behind up there did you?"
"Purposely with you no, I didn't think it's even possible."
"Of all the-" Harry couldn't even finish his sentence, he threw Tom a filthy look.
"I need to check," he muttered turning and all but ran back to his room, he slammed his door open and wrenched his trunk open, he tried to summon the book he needed but it didn't work.
"Mother fucking twat, I swear, of all the stupid things to put on the interior at times like this, anti fucking summoning charms." He literally threw books out of the trunk letting his magic cushion them before they hit the flood and became damaged, he was snarling furiously to himself until he grabbed the book he needed and slammed it on the desk, he flicked through it quickly until he found what he was looking for. Harry's eyes whizzed across the page and he took out his wand, he waved it over himself muttering a spell and he glowed red.
"What colour am I glowing?" He asked calmly to the Dark Lord, Tom took a deep breath.
"Red,"
"Well this is fucking brilliant."
"Calm down,"
"Ha, calm down, yeah right. Hi I'm Harry, the human horcrux." They both looked at each other before laughing.
"Ok, serious note; what the fuck?"
"Unexpected but it should answer a lot of questions involving Dumbledore." Tom pointed out and Harry tugged at his hair.
"I cannot believe this, that bastard must have known about this."
"Most likely,"
"That's not very good for you." Harry stated now he was calm, it wasn't all that bad now he thought about it rationally, Tom looked at him blankly and Harry blamed it on the fact it was the middle of the night.
"If Dumbles new about me then don't you think he would have known about any others you may or may not have made, I dunno like the diary I put a fang through?" Harry said with a raised eyebrow, the Dark Lord winced.
"Point taken,"
"Damn it," Harry cursed again.
"Your language is shocking." Tom told him amused.
"I'm tired, sue me."
"I am checking on my others soon, this news is rather troublesome." Harry scoffed.
"He says to his unplanned soul carrier." Tom rolled his eyes with a chuckle.
"You're not letting this go are you?"
"Not a chance in hell." Harry grinned and it was then he realised the Dark Lord was shirtless, he couldn't stop his eyes admiring the view and he unconsciously licked his lips, the man was fine. He found himself pushed up against his desk and kissed heatedly, his whole body was on fire as Tom's hands ran over his skin, and he wanted more. Tom bit his neck and Harry moaned his nails digging in to Tom slightly, the friction was driving him insane and with one last searing kiss the Dark Lord flashed him a smirk and vanished.
"MOTHER FUCKING BASTARD." Harry all but screamed after him, he heard the man laugh loudly at him and Harry swore up a storm, he slammed his bedroom door shut and threw himself down on his bed. He led there for around 10 minutes before he realised he was still burning with lust, Harry pulled himself up and in to a very cold shower, the bastard was returning the favour from earlier. By the time he calmed himself down and redressed it was half 4, Harry groaned and collapsed on the bed, his last thought was that he couldn't wait until the first week of school.
Sooo, did you like it? I didn't want to put to much in to the chapter so I kept it relatively light, Harry likes playing games. I wanted to get Ron and Hermione OOC but not too much so I hope it went well. Review and tell me what you think, thanks guys!
