/Mind Connection speech between Damien and Tom/ -This will only be used in this chapter.

The chapter name is from the song 'Deathbeds' by Bring Me the Horizon, it might not make much sense but I sort of just felt like putting it (love the song tbh).

Damien listened as his family and friends shouted to him, begging for him to overcome whatever Dumbledore did to him.

"I'm sure you're wanting to know about this nifty little invention of mine." Drawled Dumbledore as he twirled his wand around in his hand, by this point everyone but Damien had their wands out. "You see, it was in fact due to your faithful follower Barty Crouch Jr. who prompted me to create such a spell. After allowing him to use the Imperious Curse on the fourth years, I learned that Harry could break through the curse and…well that wouldn't do, would it? I knew that one day, I would need him under my control, so after a summer of inventing, I finally got the spell working. I tested it, of course. You see, this spell can be placed on the victim at any time and they won't notice a thing until the code words are murmured to the victim. Harry is now, and until his death will be, under my control." His voice was quiet but it flew through the wind allowing everyone to hear him.

Damien had been staring at his dad, pulling on their connection as the old man bragged.

/Dad?/ Damien said, trying to speak through Tom and his mind link, he watched as his dad raised his eyebrows in surprise,

/Damien?/ He said back,

/Dad, I don't know how to…to stop it./ Tom was hit with several emotions as the boy communicated with a boatload of terror,

/It's okay, son. We'll figure something out. I promise./

"Now all I wonder is, who will be the first to die? Will you kill your son before he kills you? Or will you allow him to end your life?" Dumbledore wondered maliciously, he turned to Damien, "My boy, I believe you know the spell, just two little words. You are to kill the monster in front of you. Harry…kill Tom Riddle." Despite Damien's wishes and attempts to resist, his arm rose with his wand held in his clenched hand, the wand pointed to his father.

/Dad, please move! I -I can't stop!/ A tear trickled down Damien's face as his wand hand shook as he tried to resist,

"Come on Harry, my boy, you know the incantation. You know the spell. Just two words is all." Dumbledore whispered loudly into his ear,

/Dad! Please!/ Yet Tom refused to move, if he did, then someone else would get hit with the killing curse and by the looks of it, it would be Draco who was standing behind Tom. /Daddy! Please/ Damien no longer cared if he mentally sounded childish, he was panicking. More tears streamed down his cheeks, going unnoticed by the boy,

"Av-" /Dad! Move! Please!/ "-ada" Green began to brew at the end of Damien's wand, /Knock me out! Please. Just knock me out!/ He begged as his dad continued to stare at him, a tear trickling down the heir of Slytherin's face for he knew if his son was unconscious, someone would take advantage of the boy's state, "Ked-" Damien felt strength return to his numb body, somehow…he was getting control again, but would it be too late? "-av-" /Dad! Move for Merlin's sake! Move you, idiot, move!/ Damien didn't know if he was mentally screaming at his dad or his body, more specifically his right arm. "-ra." Less than a second before he finished saying the incantation, he managed to jerk his arm, the green unforgivable was sent upwards to the sky. Dumbledore screamed in anger and with a wave of his arm, he tossed Damien away, the boy fell behind his dad, who had Lucius drag him away from the danger as the two sides clashed into one another. Spells flew left, right and centre. Up and down. Some hitting their targets, some missing their targets.

Damien remained on the ground, out of the way as he shook the remaining tingles of the spell from his body, before standing up and helping.

—LINE BREAK—

"Fred Weasley! How dare you and your brothers fight with that monster?" Shrieked Molly,

"You really are a useless mother, I'm George, you stupid bitch. You know it really is a shame when no one can tell you apart. I mean sure, dad, Bill, Charlie and Percy sometimes can, but with extreme difficulty. But at least they try. You and Ronald and Ginevra just gave up. Acting like it was unnecessary to tell the difference between us. Then little Harrikins came along and he knew, he could tell who was who. With no difficulty, he knew the difference. Which whilst amazing, is truly…sad, that a young boy who barely knew me and Fred knew who was who. Obviously, Harry is now known as Damien, but he still knows of course."

"How dare you talk to me like that?" Her true colours were coming out, Molly could care less about the twins, honestly, it was their fault. They were the ones who were almost in Slytherin, they were the ones with no true ambition. No all they wanted and ever did was make pranks and jokes. As she cast a spell at her own blood, George dodged it and cast a Stupefy at the older red-head, sending the woman flying backwards, allowing George to continue battling his way to his twin.

Bill watched with sad eyes as he was against his obnoxious youngest brother.

"Come on Ron, this is no place for someone your age. Go to the Great Hall, please." The oldest Weasley child knew he was on the verge of begging, but he could care less, this was after all his blood no matter how much of a twat he was.

"You traitor!" Ron, however, wasn't listening to a word Bill was saying, so the older red-head simply cast the Full Body-Bind Curse on him before moving on. He needed to find his brothers and group with them. Spotting George heading towards Fred, Bill headed to them.

"Ginny, stop!"

"No! You betrayed us, you traitor!" Ginny yelled at her second oldest brother, Charlie

"Ginny, you shouldn't be here! Go inside, be safe!"

"Never." With a sigh and expression full of sadness, Charlie sent Ginny flying backwards with the stunning spell. Noticing his brothers were grouping together, the second oldest took off towards them, dodging any spell or curse fired his way.

—LINE BREAK—

"Harry what are you doing?" Turning around Damien noticed Hermione pointing her wand at him,

"That is no longer my name."

"Yes, it is." She fired a spell at him, he dodged with grace and sent one back, which the Muggleborn did avoid…just not elegantly.

"Why'd you do it?"

"What?"

"Why did you-" He paused and ducked before firing a spell back at her, "-pretend to be my friend? What did he offer you?"

"I was your friend until third year! Then Professor-" She ducked, "-Dumbledore offered me power, intelligence! I would be able to prove myself in this world of stuck up, racist wizards!"

"Pathetic!" Damien sneered before sending her flying across the battlefield with a wave of pure magic as his anger boiled.

His emerald gaze drifted to his father who was duelling Dumbledore. Gracefully, Damien walked across to them with speed. He shot off curses and spells, ducked and dodged oncoming attacks. Cursing those who were sneaking up on his friends as he made his way to Tom. Looking at his father, he saw the man send Albus flying through the air before turning to his left and attacking the Auror's that were sneaking up on him. As he continued towards his father, Damien's eyes widened. He ran.
