"Wha...What are you talking about," Harry stumbled over his words.

"The prophecy pertains to you, Dumbledore, and me and now there is a new piece of the prophecy, which has come to my attention. The part you heard were partly about you being marked by me and I've also marked Dumbledore," Tom explained.

"How did you mark Dumbledore, " Harry asked.

"When I was younger, we dueled. He barely escaped with his life. I had hit him with a whip-like curse that left a V-shape scar on his back," Tom answered.

"Why did Dumbledore kill my parents," Harry asked.

"I don't know but I'll find out," Tom replied.

They had reached Tom's personal chambers. Tom sat Harry on the bed swishing his wand, changing Harry's cloths to green PJ's and his to silk PJ bottoms. Harry curled up, hugging his knees. Tom sighed opening the box on his nightstand, reviling silver-gold wristbands with a snake emblem etched on them.

"Hold out your wrist Harry," Tom turned with both cuffs in his hand. Harry wanted to shake his head no but Tom's eyes compelled him to hold out his wrists.

"Good boy," Tom smiled, slipping the cuffs onto Harry's wrists. They magically resized themselves to fit him.

"What do they do Tom," Harry asked?

"They will tell me when you've gone beyond any of the boundary wards. They also don't allow you to apparate," Tom answered.

Harry blushed, " How'd you know I could apparate. I've never told anyone."

Tom smirked; "I know a lot of things about you."

Harry failed to mention he was an animagus. He still wanted to escape even though he knew it was futile. His panther form could come in handy. Harry knew better then to revile anything that was unknown. After all he was a Slytherin at heart.

"Now get into bed. I have quit a bit of work to do still but you need your rest," Tom said tucking him into bed.

As tom bent over the boy he saw his rose petal lips, tempting, open slightly. Tom couldn't resist such temptation. He swooped down devouring the mouth beneath him. Harry tensed as Tom's fingers moved down his chest, under his shirt rubbing his nipples into hard buds, Tom's hand moved slightly downwards palming the his stomach electing needy moans from the young boy.

Tom withdrew unhappily knowing he had work to do and Harry was not ready to go further then this just yet.

"I'll see you in the morning pet," Tom said.

Harry nodded, curling up under the blankets, into the warmth.

When tom thought Harry was asleep he left to his study.

Harry peaked out from the covers checking to see if Tom was gone. Sure enough, Harry was alone in the room. He lifted the covers back, sitting up in bed, studying the newly acquired bracelets. They were beautiful, as was the room, and manor he was in. He would enjoy staying here of his own free accord but as it was it was just a really pretty glided cage, jewel in crested but still a cage. He placed his feet on the pulse carpet, he sauntered to the door opening it to see if tom was in the hallway, no one was in sight. Harry cracked the door for privacy. He wondered if he could shake off the bracelets if he changed into his panther form. He concentrated and formed into his Black Panther form. As he was going down on all fours the bracelets slipped off onto the carpeted floor without a sound. If a panther could smirk this one was doing so. He padded to the door, pawing it open. Tom would never expect a second escape attempt so soon. He quickly padded down the stairs that Tom carried him up. He finally reached the door.

Uh oh, Harry thought, I didn't think of having to open the door. I wonder if Tom would notice me if I was in human form for just a few seconds?

Harry decided Tom wouldn't notice. He silently slipped back into his human form and opened the door slightly then quietly changed back into Shadow his panther form. He could feel magic going form the door in waves, Tom had set a door alarm, meaning Tom would come rushing down the stairs any moment. Harry rushed through the doors, rushing for the edge of the apperating wards. He could hear Tom rushing down the front hall with his sensitive hearing.

He could feel the magical wards coming up. He turned his head to see Tom walking down the hill towards. Harry turned back to running through the wards when he suddenly crashed into an invisible wall. He turned and saw a smirking Tom putting away his wand. Harry could feel himself weakening, his body could no longer stay in the panther form and he changed back. Harry felt a wave of dizziness and he blacked out.

Tom reached down picking up the boy.

"Foolish boy. You have now just shown me more of you power. Now I will take many steps in keeping you in my possession and out of Dumbledore's hands," Tom said.

Tom walked back into the manor. Placing Harry back into bed, with the cuffs on, he then added a matching collar that would change to fit Harry's animagus form. Tom smirked as he climbed in bed behind Harry, pulling him to his chest firmly.


Teasers: (Cuz I love to keep you hanging!) Did Dumbledore really kill Harry's parents? And how will Harry next try to escape? And what about that elusive pair Sirius and Remus? Don't worry they play apart in this story as well!

A/N: Wow! This is a really long chapter for me. I am quit pleased. I updated this on a day I played hooky from school. My parents are really mad at me cuz, I left school early on Monday, then stayed out sick on Wednesday, and now I'm missing Friday. My dad is extremely mad because I can't get my lazy arse on a school bus. I really need a day off. I need to do my Civics paper, finish my play, write a whole bunch of letters in different peoples views for 'Writing through literature', and write an English paper that was due Wednesday. I'm failing math horribly, which is not good because I need to go to IM3 to be in Honors Chemistry. This might mean that I would be going to summer school. I really don't know why I'm so bad at math. I really hope my mom doesn't tell my dad I missed the bus, because my dad will probably come home and bet me with in an inch of my life. (Not really! but it will seem like it once he's done yelling!)

All right so for this story people get a real treat. Some people really hate answering reviews; I am one of those people. I think of it as a waste of time unless it's a question. My BF and fellow fan fiction writer says it is really fun and I should try it once before I turn my nose up at it so here goes.

Fara- You were my first reviewer for this story. By the way it probably won't be Dumbledore. I thinking along the lines of a third party being involved. Personally I love Dumbledore bashing as much as the next person, I just don't see him as a murderer. I think of him more as an old fool.

Layce74- Thanks!

Tsumibito-san- I love these kind of fics too. There are just not enough of them. I know I need to be careful with 'Dumbledore killed your parents'. I promise I am being really careful.

Emmy-Thanks! (Goes to grab tissue) A lot of people don't say that about my writing. And it picks me up b/c I had a few hurtful reviews in my other story. Thank you!

Ailisa d. frieson- Thanks for the exclamation point! LOL!

Rhalkha- Trust me this story I will defiantly continue. It's one of my favorites I'm writing right now.

vampsarecool- I'm hoping to be able to update this one every two weeks. But a lot of things get in the way.

Princess Pearliest- I know there just seems to be a large shortage of Harry/Voldemort slash. I love the concept of mortal enemies getting together and falling in love. It's why I love Harry/Draco so much. There is a fine line between love and hate.

emma- I'm glad you're interested in my story. I have to say I've been having a little bit of writer's block on this story. I left myself a lot of room to create a really good, strong, and hopefully original plot

erabiskaron- I hope I can but a lot of twists in this story. Just curious but where do you think my story is heading?

dmweasley- I'm glad you have started reading different stuff. My stories usaully end up really dark, not anst, but Harry usually ends up with an evil character. I am trying my hand a more fluffy story between Harry and Draco but I've been having a little writer's block on it. Although I love the plot and will kept trying I just can't seem to get past writing the fourth chapter. Oh well. (Sighs)

white- I'm glad you heart my story! LOL! I love it when people use things like that to get the same message across with a different word. I heart pirates! I heart Johnny Depp!

Bee- That would be great! But I'm really lazy at sending emails and such. Would you just want to beta this story or all of my stories? E-mail me at I'll keep your e-mail. Title the email as beta if you're still interested. I still need time to think on it because I do have a current beta I just never give her my stuff. She's biased against Harry/Voldemort and she really doesn't like it when Draco is dominant. She believes they should be in an equal relationship besides she's more into sirius/remus.

bitchmonkey- I would like to say that most of my chapters are short. I'm sorry but I'm used to writing poetry and short stories. My characters may be ooc but about 40 other people like my characters the way they are. Please do not just say my story is plain sucky as you so adequately put it. Give me some criticism and pointers on how to improve the story to your liking. I am trying to lengthen my chapters. It really is a struggle. And if you do review again please sign in. Reviewing without signing in just seems like your hiding behind the computer screen.

Demonkitty2007-You've got the next chapter and some teasers!

KatSakura- I sorry it didn't make it before spring break but I did update the first chapter the Friday before my spring break and I didn't really know when everyone else's was.

Yukino328- I gave you teasers in this chapter. (Grins evilly)

Justajester- I know. I love being evil. After all I am a Slytherin.

cirecris- Thanks!

Mistress Vamp- Okay stop grinning so wide I can see you fangs. LOL!

Zelphie- I will try to get a stable beta. I've been trying to get my actual beta to edit the story but she would just end up making Draco save Harry and have them f like bunnies so I have to find someone who likes and reads a lot of Harry/voldemort.

yo misma- I'm hoping this story will be my main focus so it will get more updates then the other stories. Hopefully

Revange- You like how Tom treats Harry! I've actually had a few hints from my reviewers that they don't like the treatment, at least I think they were hints. Thanks for telling me so bluntly that you like the relationship.

spirtfox- I'm glad you think that I need to go on with my story. Some reviewers get me down and depressed and then I don't update for a long time.

Jennifer-Thanks!

Emerald-silver Serpent- I love your name! I'm glad you like!

HP Girl 28- I'm glad you think it's better then all the other H/V stories. I would have to disagree but then again the author is always harder on herself, isn't she.

little miss me- Thanks!

AngelLovePhoenix- I have to say I was excited when I read you review. I love your H/V story. It's okay that you forgot to review. I try to remember to review all the stories I read b/c I know the authors need help and encouragement. Thanks!

rosiegirl- I hope this is soon enough. It probably isn't. If it was up to me I would update everyday but my life is so busy! Everything just seems to get in the way.

Lily-Loony-Evans- I didn't think it was that much of a cliffhanger. (Stares off into space innocently)

Catchfire- Well I'm glad you like my story. I have to tell you I can't wait to get to the lemon either. Harry is only fourteen though! I really have to go back into my summary and put a warning up. But as soon as Harry stops struggling and I put the warning in my summary, I promise there will be lemony goodness!

angelkitty77- I just updated one of my other stories. I hope to update Innocence taken, today too but I don't think I'll get to it. I have a house to clean and school work to do.

USA-Jeanette- Oh I am differently putting Sirius and Remus in soon. In like the next 3 or 4 chapters. After Tom and Harry get to know each other better.

wind- I didn't leave you hanging that much! Did I? (Scrunches up face, thinking really hard.)

HecateDeMort- (Runs for cover) Oh my Merlin! Don't send Voldemort after me! I can barely control his actions in my story! LOL! Thanks for the, uh, interesting, and threatening review. LOL!

CheeseAndFries- Interesting name! I'm glad you like my story!

That was actually kind of fun. I guess my beta was right. I just don't think I'll get time like this again to answer all of my reviews. So don't expect it! Okay. This chapter just took two hours and a half! That's slightly more then what I wanted to spend on one story. I hope to find a happy medium between plenty of details and a good portion of dialogue.

See and most of the chapter was taken up by answering reviews although it was really fun.
