Harry did the rest of his shopping as silently as he could. The last place was the robe shop. He was about to walk in when a scream was heard behind him, followed by lots of shouting. Harry whirled around to see everyone in a panic. Remus drew his wand and Snape grabbed his arm.
"We needed to get you away from here." He said quickly.
"Why!"
"Death Eaters." Remus spat. Harry could finally pick out a few men in dark cloaks and half skull masks in the middle of everything. He followed Snape obediently, while Remus was casting spells to cover their backs. Things were happening so fast, he barely saw it when Remus was hit by a curse. He didn't have any choice but to continue to follow Snape, but he felt slightly dazed afterwards. They stopped when they were cornered by at least five Death Eaters. Snape was busy blocking the spells, and had little time to return fire. A hiss in his left ear made Harry remember Thanados.
"What are we going to do? Snape is out numbered!" Harry asked panicking.
"Use your wand as best you can. You are strong, and I know you can help defeat them." Harry nodded and pointed his wand at the Death Eater nearest to him.
"Stupefy!" He shouted. The Death eater never stood a chance, and collapsed to the ground. A particularly strong curse broke Snapes shield. One of the death Eaters spoke up, "Serverus, what are you doing defending him? The Dark Lord wanted him, and your just getting in the way." Snape narrowed his eyes, "I'm just doing my job." He said flatly. "Fine, but you have to be the on to explain to him what happened." The Death Eater snapped. From behind him, Harry heard someone shouting the stunning spell "Supefy!" It hit him in the back, and he fell with a look of complete shock on his face.
Dream
Serverus Snape entered the room, and bowed before Harry.
"My Lord, we have him. With your permission, he would like to talk to him now." He motioned to the door, were another Death Eater now stood.
"I think the truth is best heard from me first." The Death Eater said softly. Harry waved his hand in a dismissive way, "Very well, and I want a full report on any injuries he has received." The Death Eater bowed and left.
"My Lord, it is my duty to report the fact that the Death Eaters assigned to retrieve him attempted to use the Cruciatus Curse." Harry's eyes narrowed in anger. How dare they harm him! "Unfortunately, I can't deal with them myself, but I'm sure you can find suitable punishments."
Snape gave a cold smirk, "I'm sure I can my Lord." He bowed and left.
End Dream
When Harry woke up the first thing he realized was that it was dark. The only pain he currently felt was the pain from his scar. The room he was in was small, so that accounted for the darkness. He checked his body for injuries, but found nothing serious. Magical chains bound his hands and feet, making escape an impossibility. He heard a soft voice and recognized it as Thanados.
"Are you awake?" he said quietly.
Harry nodded, "Yeah, are you ok?"
"I'm fine, but the humans put me in a cage when I tried to bite them." Thanados seemed more than a little upset about it.
Harry sighed, "I suppose I'm only alive because Voldemort wanted to finish me off himself." Thanados couldn't think of anything to say to that. Harry rested his head against a wall, and didn't even bother to look when someone entered the room. "So, you're the Death Eater I've been having dreams about. I thought Voldemort would come to finish, me off." He was determined not to show any fear.
The man laughed, "Nobody's going to finish you off, I wouldn't let them." He removed his hood to show a man with gray eyes and long messy black hair. Harry held his breath like one breath and the man before him would disappear.
"S-sirius?" There were tears in his eyes.
Sirius hugged him tightly, "I missed you so much." Harry blinked back the rest of his tears, "What happened to you? I saw you fall through the veil…"
Sirius nodded, "For a while I was as good as dead, but about two weeks later I fell through the other side and found myself…" He hesitated, "Well I found myself in the home of Voldemort himself." He pulled back the sleeve of his left arm, to reveal the dark mark, "It was the only way to ensure that I would live. If I joined him, then I could see you again." Harry smiled weakly at that comment, trying his best not to feel betrayed. Sirius continued, "And when I found out the truth about why he's been trying to kill you…" He waved his wand over the chains and they vanished. "I should let him explain it himself I suppose, it's to hard for me to do it." He lifted Harry to his feet, "Be really quiet till we get there ok?" Harry nodded. Then he turned to the caged Thanados.
"What about him? I know how much he hates to be locked up like this. Can't I take him with me?"
Sirius shrugged, "I don't see a problem with it." He unlocked the cage as well, and Harry placed Thanados on his shoulders.
"I am grateful to be free."
Harry smiled soflty, "I know you are." He waited for Thanados to make himself comfortable before following after Sirius down a series of long corridors and passageways. They finally stopped at a large wood door with a silver snake set in the wood. Sirius was about knock when he seemed to have a better idea.
"Can you open the doors Harry? All you should have to do it tell it to open." Harry was a little confused, but stepped up to the door anyway.
"Open." Nothing happened. Harry frowned and saw there was a saying engraved in the wood of the door. He traced the letters and laughed slightly. How ironic. "Speak to me Salazar Slytherin, greatest of the Hogwarts four." The snake moved as if it was alive causing Hary to jump back. The metal serpent lifted its head out of the wood, its sightless eyes looking right at Harry.
"So, the youngest one returns. Enter then." It hissed. Harry stepped back further as the door opened. The lights were dim, but a throne was clearly outlined. Upon it sat the thin figure of Voldemort. He looked at Sirius with an annoyed expression.
"Were is his wand? I wouldn't want him to feel unsafe here."
Harry narrowed his eyes, "Why would it matter to you?"
Thanados hissed in anger, "Another snake! And she's really big."
Harry stroked Thanados on the head, "I'll make sure Nagini doesn't touch you."
Voldemort
smiled, "You have the gift. That's not surprising I suppose."
Sirius walked out the door very quietly, making Harry feel very
abandoned. "Can you perform a spell to lift glamour charms, can you
not?" Voldemort asked. The topic caught Harry off guard, since he
kept expecting some curse to be fired at him.
Harry shrugged, "Of
course. Finite is a very simple spell. Yes, does it really matter?"
His last moments were going to be spent talking civilly to Voldemort?
Voldemort smiled in approval, "Good, if possible would you cast the spell on yourself? As strong as you can. It will make what I wish to tell you easier." He sighed, "I'm not going to kill you, so you can stop worrying." Harry blinked slowly. The odd request had caught him off balance. What harm would come of casting finite on himself? He pointed his wand at his chest.
"Finite." He focused as much power as he could into it. When it was finished he looked at Voldemort expectantly, but he seemed to be at a loss for words. He simply conjured a mirror and handed it to Harry. The reflection Harry saw wasn't his own. He person had red eyes, and resembled the young Voldemort when he was still Tom Riddle. His now dark brown hair hung around his face, no longer looking messy and impossible to manage and he realized he could see fine without his glasses. Harry dropped the mirror, and it shattered.
"Luther." Voldemort said quietly, finding his voice at last, "My son."
I would appreciate if I got more reviews, but still like the ones I got. Read and let me know what you thought.
