foxchick1: thanks for your review my friend.

Last time his name changes I promise. He has some identity issues that will be worked out.

Harrison's POV

The deal sounded almost too good to be true. Voldemort or Marvolo as he was known now would teach him about being the heir of two noble houses. It made the contractor furious that he had not been told about this before.

According to Vol... Marvolo he should have been learning his duties since the age of 7 at the latest. Every family had different considerations and duties for an heir. Some all the Head of Family had to do was declare them the heir before magic herself. In this case that was what Marvolo had done. Harrison didn't even get a choice in the matter.

Then there was the problem of family magic. He could learn about the magic given to him as the Slytherin Heir but very little was known about the Potter side. Then there was his contractor magic.

Since waking up the spirits of the wind had practically gone silent. It frightened him more than he cared to admit. Listen to the spirits of the wind they said. They won't lead you astray they said. How was he supposed to listen to them when they had gone silent?

Everything had been so much easier when he was Evan. No one looked at him as if he was to save the world. He knew that was what people wanted. Yet no one asked what he wanted with his life.

It was expected of him to defeat the Dark Lord. Defeat the man who adopted him magically into the Slytherin family.

Then he was to marry Ginny Weasley and become part of their family. As much as he loved the twins he couldn't see him doing that. She was like a sister to him. Though during the Tournament she had become obsessive again that had become a creepy stalker.

The last thing that was expected of him was to become an auror. That was most certainly not his career choice. He wasn't sure what he wanted to do but fighting wasn't it.

Voldem... Marvolo said drawing Harrison from his thoughts, "As my heir there is a magical bond between us. It will not allow you to hurt me. Or me to hurt you. I will not use corporal punishment on you. I know of what your uncle did to you and will not use it as it may cause a flashback. If I do need to punish you it will be with lines, an essay, or loss of privileges. Do you have any questions?"

"Does loss of privileges mean food too?"

He was almost afraid to ask that. The Dursely's had starved him only giving him the bare minimum to survive.

V... Marvolo's eyes narrowed in anger and despite himself Harrison flinched. The air began to stir once more. Spirits of the wind were reacting to his emotions. To his fear. It was sending them into a near frenzy.

Marvolo said in a low soothing tone, "No. I will never deny you food. Whether that be a snack or a desert. You are too skinny as it is now. Malcolm the healer that looked after you and healed your wounds has prescribed nutrient potions. This will help you gain back the weight you have lost. Or the weight you may not have, had."

Harrison bowed his head slightly in thanks. Most people didn't give two damns about him. Even those that he thought did turned out didn't. A hard learned lesson from the past year.

Ron who he thought was his friend had betrayed him. It wasn't just from abandoning him during the Tournament. It was also from the fact that he thought Harrison was lying about the abuse he suffered. In the red head's eyes Dumbledore could do no wrong. Harrison had stopped being Dumbledore's pet after his first year.

Hermione Granger had also betrayed him. In a way he should have seen it. She thought he was a liar and an attention seeker. In her eyes he was just a way for her to get books.

He had recieved a letter from Gringotts in his fourth year. During a Hogsmede trip he snuck away. The goblins had revealed that Dumbledore, the Weasley's minus the twins, and Granger had been stealing from him.

For him there was very few people he could trust. The villagers had been the most he trusted in a long time. It seemed unlikely that he would ever see them again.

His thoughts went once more to his godfather. Sirius wanted to look after him. During his third year the man had offered him a place to stay. It was only because of their goofup with Pettigrew and the Wolfsbane that he wasn't.

Marvolo was offering him a way that his godfather would be free. Not only that but as long as he was good and abided by the rules then Harrison would get to see him.

He knew from experience that Slytherins never did anything for free. They always wanted something in return.

As if reading his thoughts the man said, "Within reason I will not force you to do anything. There are some key things that for your safety I will require but other than that you are free to learn and do as you will. I will not choose your friends for you or try to control you in such a way."

Disbelief filled him. For his own safety? That was what Dumbledore said about the Durselys and look how that turned out. If this man wanted any kind of trust between them he would have to earn it. Harrison was through trusting blindly.
