Something Always Seems To Happen

By: kpron2008

It never fails, something always seems to happen to her. It's either she is confronting Voldemort, getting hurt during Quidditch, or even doing something reckless. However, today, she had been sent on an errand by her Aunt Petunia and was captured by none other than Bellatrix and two other Death Eaters.

"Looks like we got you, Potter." Bellatrix said.

Harriet sighed happily for once and said, "It always seems to happen somehow. I guess, you're taking me to him then?"

Bellatrix and the two other Death Eaters nodded.

"Then take me to him already as a prisoner." Harriet stated.

They were stunned that Potter wasn't going to fight, but disappeared with her anyway.

At Malfoy Manor...

Voldemort was sitting in a room where he was talking with the rest of his Death Eaters. Severus reported that the Order of the Phoenix still thought that he was on their side and then told Voldemort what he had heard about Dumbledore was planning for Miss Potter.

The Dark Lord and the other Death Eaters couldn't believe that Dumbledore was actually wanting the Potter/Black Heiress to die.

"Severus, why would he do that to Potter? She would probably be upset at him trying to keep under control like that!" Lucius stated finally coming out of shock.

"Probably. But the only two that she confided in was myself and Poppy and showed the memories to prove it to both of us." Severus said.

Before Voldemort could say something; Bellatrix and two others were bringing someone to him. He was stunned to see that it was Potter as was everyone else.

"Damn it, I forgot about that..." Harriet stated as she passed out.

"Take her to a room." Voldemort commanded.

"Don't want her in the dungeon, my Lord?" Lucius asked.

"No! In fact, take her to my room. Narcissa and Severus, I want a full check on her! NOW!" Voldemort said.

"Yes, My Lord." Both Narcissa and Severus answered with Severus carrying Potter to Voldemort's room with Narcissa following.

Voldemort was now looking at Bellatrix and her companions. He gave them a look that said, 'Start talking now!'

"My Lord, we bumped into Potter in the muggle world." The man said.

"She wasn't angry or anything. She seemed relieved to see us which was strange." The other man stated.

"Well, what do have to say, Bellatrix?" Voldemort asked looking at her.

"My Lord, Potter seemed somewhat different from when you two have faced each other before." Bellatrix said.

"How so?" Voldemort asked.

Lucius was curious as well and wanted to know.

"She didn't fight us or object to us taking her prisoner. Which was odd in itself when she fights us constantly." Bellatrix answered.

Voldemort continued talking with them.

Meanwhile, in Voldemort's room...

Narcissa and Severus were running diagnostics on Potter. They were stunned what they were seeing on the parchment and were angry that Miss Potter had been abused and not pampered like the Wizarding World believed.

Severus had to sit down and cry because Lily's daughter had been abused all this time and never said a word about it.

"I wonder if Poppy knew about this?" Severus quietly questioned.

"Surely, she would have reported this?" Narcissa said.

"She did but it may not have reached the Auroras." A voice quietly said.

Both Narcissa and Severus turned to see that Miss Potter waking up.

"Miss Potter, how do you feel?" Narcissa asked.

"I feel free even if I'm Lord Voldemort's prisoner." Harriet stated.

Severus was stunned by her statement.

"Would you care to explain, Miss Potter?" Narcissa asked.

So, Harriet explained everything to the two of them and explained that she had went to Gringotts after her 5th year to let the Goblins know that Sirius had passed. She also told that she found out that Dumbledore was never her magical guardian because her parents had named Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, as well as Severus Snape as her magical guardian.

At hearing that, Severus was in shock and didn't know what to say. Then Harriet handed him an envelope.

Severus took the envelope from Harriet and opened the letter and read:

Snape,

I'm writing this letter to apologize to you for the past. Lily made a point that I was a complete idiot of being jealous of you when you were like a brother to Lily. I'll even try to talk to Sirius into apologizing to you.

I named Sirius, Harriet's godfather then Remus is her honorary godfather; but Lily suggested that you were to be Harriet's Uncle and magical guardian should something prevent Sirius and Remus from their job as her godfathers. Lily and I believe that there is something more than a prophecy that involves Harriet and Lord Voldemort. I'm beginning to think she's correct. So we spoke with Sirius and Remus on what to do if something happens.

Lord James C. Potter

Severus,

I know you didn't mean those horrible things that you said that day. James has probably told you most of the things that we had discussed. However, I want you to know that James, myself, as well as Remus and Sirius were becoming suspicious of Albus Dumbledore and his actions. We weren't the only ones either. Alice and Frank Longbottom were also getting suspicious.

As weird as it sounds, James and I know that Harriet will be safe you, Sirius, and Remus as well as Lord Voldemort himself. James decided to do some research while working as Head Aurora and found out that the Ministry kept a record of Voldemort's views when he was known as Tom Marvalo Riddle and they weren't evil at all. But, they were on point to protect the Wizarding World.

I'm aware that Harriet is probably sixteen now and without Dumbledore knowing; Harriet will come into her inheritance now because that's the way we planned it. The Goblins will know because Sirius came up with a way for the Goblins to know. If Dumbledore has taken anything from our vaults that belonged to Harriet then it will return to the vault and a protection spell will be activated and no one but those we have named will be able to touch the vaults.

Also, tell Lord Voldemort that if he falls in love with Harriet that James and I give our blessing.

Lily Potter

Severus was stunned by the letters from Lily and James. Then Harriet handed Severus another letter. He took it and opened it and read:

Severus Snape,

If you're reading this then I'm dead. You and Remus are the only ones left for Harriet. Lord Voldemort also has my blessing to marry Harriet. Now for the damn apology that James and Lily are making me do.

I'm sorry for everything that I did to you in the past just take care of Bambi with Moony. Tell Lord Snake that I even approve of his previous views before he nutters.

Lord Sirius Black

P.S.

Bella is probably nutters because the marriage contract isn't completed due to the old coot.

Severus was stunned yet again.

Harriet giggled at Severus's reactions.

Suddenly, Voldemort entered the room and noticed that Potter was giggling then said, "Do I even want to know what's funny?"

Harriet looked towards Voldemort and was stunned by his youthful look had returned to him. He looked like his sixteen year-old self except a little bit older.

Narcissa and Severus both noticed how Harriet was looking at their Lord.

"Is something wrong, Miss Potter?" Voldemort asked.

"No, Tom. I'm just surprised is all because the last time I saw you you had snake like features." Harriet stated.

"Yes, well I had to fix that thanks to Wormtail." Voldemort stated.

Narcissa and Severus were stunned that their Lord didn't harm Harriet for using his muggle name.

Then Voldemort looked at Narcissa and Severus and asked, "Well?"

"Miss Potter has been abused for sixteen years and Poppy knows about it." Severus stated.

Harriet was embarrassed that they knew about it; but when she saw Tom looking at with a questioning look. She sighed and said, "I begged Dumbledore not to send me back."

Tom was thinking for a moment and said, "Miss Potter, will you tell me why everyone believed you were being spoiled?" Tom asked.

Harriet explained everything to Tom from what she had found out when she secretly went to Gringotts without Dumbledore's knowledge.

Tom dropped his mask and was stunned by what Harriet was telling him. Then he grinned suddenly and asked, "Miss Potter, how good at acting?"

Harriet was surprised by the question but said, "Probably good at it, but I can't say for sure. Why?"

"Well, I have an idea of sorts. I'm going to have Greyback contact Lupin and explain what we are going to do." Tom said.

Harriet was confused.

"We are going to let Dumbledore know that I have you as a prisoner and we are going to capture two order members to confirm that I have you." Tom said.

"My Lord?!" Both Severus and Narcissa questioned.

Harriet smiled and said, "I think I'm getting the picture sort of. I mean something always seems to happen to me anyway for some reason. I understand that I'll have to play the part but how would you want me to dress?"

Tom was thinking then looked at Harriet and said, "About an outfit like Princess Jasmine and Jeanie?"

"Of course, Tom. I assume that it has to be in Slytherin colors." Harriet said.

"Yes." Tom said.

"Anything else?" Harriet asked.

"I think a few jewels will do to adorn your exposed skin." Tom said.

"As you wish, Tom." Harriet said.

Tom walked over to the bed and sat down on the bed.

Severus and Narcissa wondered what their Lord was going to do. They were shocked when their Lord grabbed Potter's chin and said, "Potter, to play your part are you willing to do what I ask of you regardless if it makes you feel uncomfortable?"

"Yes, Tom." Harriet said, "However, have Severus tell the Order that you have a female prisoner but he isn't sure if it's me or not."

"Not a bad idea, Miss Potter. What do you think, Severus?" Tom asked looking at Severus.

"It could work. Then capture two of the Order members." Severus stated.

Then Tom looked at Narcissa and said, "Do not tell your son that Potter is here."

Narcissa nodded.

"Tom?" Harriet said softly.

Tom turned to Harriet and said, "What?"

"I'll stay cloaked and if I leave your room then Nangi will be beside me to keep me in check." Harriet suggested.

Tom thought for a moment and said, "That sounds like a good idea. If you do then Narcissa will inform Draco that you are my prisoner of passion."

Harriet nearly fell out of the bed at the way Tom said what he had said.

Tom grabbed Harriet and said, "Potter, I meant it."

The next thing, Harriet knew was Tom was kissing her with passion. It was starting to make her weak in the knees although that she is in bed.

Tom whispered quietly to her, "I hope you enjoy resting in my bed while I'm here at Malfoy Manor."

Harriet's face turned beet red.

Tom chuckled as he walked out of the room to attend to a meeting with his Death Eaters.

Meanwhile, Severus and Narcissa wondered what their Lord said to Harriet for her such a reaction.

At the Headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix...

Kreacher was aware that he was to follow orders given to him by his young mistress. He was furious that the old goat was trying to force his mistress into a marriage with a blood traitor.

Remus noticed was upset and he couldn't blame him.

Suddenly, Severus appeared and he was in shock for some reason.

"What happened, Severus?" Minerva asked.

"A young woman was brought in as a prisoner for the Dark Lord by Bellatrix and two others." Severus said.

"Who was it, Severus?" Dumbledore asked.

"I don't know, she was wearing a cloak. Why?" Severus said confused.

"Harriet Potter is missing, Severus." Molly stated.
