The Dark Lord's Request

By: kpron2008

Voldemort was sitting behind a desk and thinking of doing something. He was aware that Potter had just lost her godfather thanks to Bellatrix because he had witnessed what had happen through the nightmares that she was having from that day. He had to admit that Potter was beautiful compared to Bellatrix and that's when he decided put a plan into action; he wrote to Potter immediately to see what she would do.

At Grimmauld Place...

Everyone was trying to console Harriet. She wasn't exactly speaking with anyone except for Remus and Tonks.

Meanwhile, Fred and George were doing a little spying to see what the others were up to since Harriet was only talking with a selected few including themselves.

In the Kitchen...

(Fred and George were listening with their extendable ears)

"Albus, why is Harriet talking to selected few of us?" Molly questioned.

"I don't know but I already have a plan." Dumbledore stated.

"Oh?" Molly said.

"I will tell Harriet of an arranged marriage contract between her and Ron. " Albus stated.

(George and Fred already treated Harriet like a little sister, but they knew that Harriet was crushing on a bloke.)

Meanwhile...

Harriet was still talking with Remus and Tonks; when an owl flew in and dropped a letter in her lap.

"Cub, who's that from?" Remus questioned.

Harriet opened the letter and began reading it quickly because there was a spell on it apparently. Then she looked at Remus after she read it and the letter went up in flames.

"Well?" Remus questioned.

"I'm not exactly sure how to say this, but it was from Lord Voldemort. As to why he wrote me; I am completely stunned. " was all Harriet said.

Remus and Tonks were shocked.

Suddenly, Fred and George came in and another owl flew in dropping another letter dropped in her lap.

Fred immediately put up a privacy barrier once he had shut the door behind him and his twin.

Harriet began opening the other letter and looked at the Weaseley twins with a questioning look.

"Sorry, Harri. But Dumbledore is planning to marry off to Ronnikins. We both know that you don't like him that way; we thought that we would inform you since you're our silent business partner." George said.

Remus and Tonks were stunned to hear that bit of information.

"Thanks, guys. I have feeling that I am about to get a shock of my my life with this letter that I am about to open. Compared to the that I had opened just recently." Harriet said.

"Why do you say that, Harri?" Tonks questioned.

"Because this letter is from Gringotts." Harriet stated.

"What would they want?" Remus questioned.

"I don't know but it could be important. " Harriet said.

"Well, open it and read it. Fred put a privacy barrier up; so no one outside can hear what's being said in here." George said.

Harriet nodded and then opened the letter and began to read:

Dear Miss Potter,

We here at Gringotts are informing you of a stipulation that your parents had secretly put in their wills or will. There was also one in your godfather's will.

Everyone was stunned to hear that and Harriet continued reading:

The stipulation is this:

Should Harriet Jayme Potter become emancipated early for unknown reasons then she shall inherit everything and decide who she intends to be with for the rest of her life.

Those that have violated the wills of myself, Lily, and Sirius in anyway or fashion shall be marked once Harriet says, 'I claim the titles in which I am entitled to by my family and my godfather. '

The moment in which Harriet does those who betrayed her will be marked.

Remus and Tonks as well as the Weaseley twins were surprised then continued to listen as Harriet read:

That was end of the stipulation.

Once you have claimed the titles that you've inherited no one and we do mean NO ONE! can manipulate you into anything. As for the prophecy that is between you and the Dark Lord; it is really a decision between the two of you.

Griphook

Harriet finished reading and she seemed surprised by it. As did the others in the room with her.

"So what are you going to do, Harri?" George questioned.

Harriet smiled and said, "I, Harriet Jayme Potter, here do claim the titles in which I am entitled to by my family and by my godfather, Sirius Black!"

George, Fred, Remus, and Tonks were stunned as they watched magic engulf Harriet.

Back downstairs in the kitchen...

Dumbledore, Molly, Ron, Ginny, and Hermione screamed as if they were in pain.

"Albus?!" Minerva shouted.

"What's happening?!" Arthur questioned.

Kreacher could feel the magic and it was powerful.

"It seems that the Headmaster and the other three are being branded as something." Severus said.

"Theys being branded as traitors, betrayers, thrives, and violators of written wills by bloodlines of families." Kreacher stated.

"What do you mean, elf?" Severus asked curiously.

Kreacher looked at Severus and said, "Young Misteress was emancipated at fourteen 1stand is allowed to do as she pleases. She can evict the those who are in league against her but those who show compassion towards her is safe. Mister Snape is safe along with a few others but Misteress will test others."

Severus blinked in shock at that.

"Why is my wife being branded along with two of my children and Miss Granger, Kreacher?" Arthur questioned.

Kreacher looked at Arthur and said, "Misteress believes that Lord Arthur Weaseley of wife's betrayal as for youngest son, Weaseley, daughter Weaseley, and Mudblood Granger; they have betrayed Misteress in the most foulest of ways."

Arthur was shocked but who was Kreacher's Misteress.

Moments Later...

Remus and Tonks along with Fred and George entered the kitchen.

"Where's Harriet?" Hermione asked.

"Resting." Remus growled out.

"Why?" Ron questioned.

"Because she needs it and she wishes to be left alone." Tonks stated.

"She'll join us later." Fred said.

"Yeah, she just dealing with Sirius's death real hard." George said.

The rest of Order of the Phoenix agreed that the tragedy was so sudden.

Kreacher went to check on his Misteress at once.

In Harriet's room...

Harriet was sitting on her bed when Kreacher popped in and said, "Misteress, there anything that Kreacher can get you?"

"Yes, Kreacher; see if you find me a decent dress because I have a meeting with the Lord Voldemort very soon." Harriet said.

"Of course, Misteress." Kreacher said disappearing.

Harriet sighed and wondered what Voldemort's reply will be to her letter response to him.

Meanwhile, at Malfoy Manor...

Voldemort was wondering what was taking so long for a response to his letter; when an owl flew in and dropped a letter on his lap. He gave the owl some treats after eating the treats the owl went to rest.

Voldemort opened the letter and read to himself:

Lord Voldemort,

As I am writing to you; I can't but feel a little strange since we're suppose to be enemies. I also admit that your request sounded more like a demand than a request, but I can only guess that you were probably pissed off about something.

I will agree to meet with you and discuss the request that you have asked of me which I have to admit took me by surprise considering that people are wanting us to fight each other because of some stupid prophecy that you and I have no choice in the matter but to kill each other.

If you ask my honest opinion, I don't want to kill you because from what I found out recently as well as secretly is that you were trying to change the Wizarding World for the better when you were my age but no one would listen.

I have to admit that you were indeed charming at sixteen and I met that version of you when I was twelve due to one of your Death Eaters' grudge against Arthur Weaseley. I'm sure you can figure out who it was.

I know you don't like the name Tom Marvolo Riddle but I can imagine why you hate so much. However, I believe that you were meant to do great things but the one who did harm was Albus Dumbledore who claims that he wants peace when he in fact has done something so horrible.

If you are wondering what I'm talking about; he has manipulated two heirs to two of the Founders of Hogwarts. You, the heir of Salazar Slytherin and myself, the heiress of Godric Gryffindor with other titles that I hold.

I will meet with you because of you; I free from Dumbledork. Probably, without knowing it, you had me emancipated when you had the fake Moody put my name in the Goblet of Fire for the Tri-Wizard Tournament.

Lady Harriet Potter

P.S.

You really saved my life. Now, it's my turn to save your's. Be careful , because I think Dumbledore is upto something else and Professor Snape may be in trouble because he's still loyal to you but protects me for my mother's sake.

When we meet up bring two people you trust with you.

Voldemort was stunned that Severus still cared for Lily Potter nee Evans after all this time, but he was amazed that Severus would protect Potter even though he despised her father. However, he was more surprised that he had emancipated her in her fourth year.

Although, he was secretly happy that Potter was going to meet up with him and they were going to discuss some things which included the prophecy.

Several days later...

Harriet decided to meet up with Voldemort at little Cafe that opened up right next to Fred's and George's joke shop. Of course, Remus and Tonks were with her but they knew what exactly was going on as did a few trusted people.

Voldemort appeared on time with a gleamour on and Harriet recognized him right off.

"Sorry, I am late." Voldemort said arriving with The LeStrange twins.

"You're actually on time, Sly." Harriet said.

Voldemort blinked at that.

Harriet giggled at his reaction then looked at Remus; who understood what Harriet was wanting. So, both he and Tonks casted a powerful privacy barrier.

"Miss Potter, may I ask what that was all about?" Voldemort questioned.

"Remus and Tonks put a strong privacy barrier; so him and Tonks as well as the LeStrange twins are the only ones listening to our conversation." Harriet answered.

"Very well. " Voldemort said, "So, about my request?"

"You mean demand?" Harriet questioned.

Voldemort sighed but nodded.

"I'll agree to it because I am sick of the Wizarding World going back and forth with me on weither I'm telling the truth or they assume that I'm completely insane. If this is how my life is going to be then I will do something completely and utterly unexpected." Harriet sneered.

Voldemort was stunned completely as were the others. Then Voldemort said, "What are you planning, Miss Potter?"

Harriet smiled and said, "Lord Voldemort, I will allow you to court me for the start of and the remainder of my sixth year or you can start today? I say by the time Yule comes you'll have your heir."

The LeStrange twins were stunned to hear this as well as Remus and Tonks.
