"How can you be certain he can be trusted?" Lucius Malfoy asked pacing in his study before the Dark Lord.
"Are you insulting my intelligence Lucius?" Voldemort asked standing up to look at the man before him.
"Of course not my Lord. I meant no disrespect, I was only wondering if you knew for sure the loyalty of the boy."
"Do you honestly think I don't?" Voldemort asked settling back down into his chair and waving his hand towards the chair opposite him that Lucius had been occupying for him to sit as well. "Have you not heard of his actions? I trust him as much as is wise. But I need a few people to know what we have going on so that no problems will arise from it. And I figured it would be easier to tell you if you knew who he was," Voldemort looked at Lucius curiously, "you do know if Silence's interest with you son correct?"
"Yes, Draco has told me of it. He seems to be quite taken with Silence. Does he know the real identity of him or only his alias?"
"As of right now only a few choice people know Silence's real identity. Young Mister Malfoy is not one of them, no." Lucius smiled.
"I wonder how he will take the news. The two do not get along at school."
"Yes well he will have time to get used to it. I am going to allow Silence to tell your son. Do you think that will be unwise?" Lord Voldemort asked, "You do know more of your offspring the I do." Lucius thought about what Lord Voldemort had said, sipping from his brandy.
"It would probably be best for Draco to know. He will be able to see Silence more often. From what I have heard he does not appreciate not knowing who he is and only seeing him when you two arrange it."
"I would not have thought he did. Very well I shall have Silence tell him." Lord Voldemort drank down the rest of his brandy that he had been sipped away during the initial talk he had been having with Lucius. "There are other matters I need you to take care of. In the Ministry we need to have a person set up in every department for when our plan takes place. If you could work on getting people fired so that we can manage that?"
"Of course my Lord." Lucius smirked, "the fouls in that place are to easy to manipulate."
"I'm sure they are." Lord Voldemort agreed, "I must be off. And Lucius do try to get this done in good time, there is only so long we have before we are ready to move on with our revolution." Lord Voldemort waited as Lucius stood and they walked together to one of Lucius's less used sitting rooms and Lord Voldemort pulled to a piece of parchment and handed it to Lucius, "if you would be so kind as to send this with the note you will be sending to Silence. It is so much simpler if it's all sent at the same time." Lucius chuckled.
"Of course."
"And do not threaten him to harshly. I do not believe your son would appreciate his lover being run off." Lord Voldemort said before stepping into Lucius's fireplace and being flooed away.
Harry walked into the common room after his first training session exhausted. He had been trying to do as much extra work to mentally and physically get him prepared for what was coming and he never could have imagined how rigorous they had made it.
"Harry mate are you okay?" Seamus asked from where he was sitting in the common room doing last minute homework for potions the next day. Harry stumbled over to him and plopped down next to the Irish boy.
"I'm fine." He sighed relaxing into the couch and glancing at the work Seamus was doing. Potions. Harry sighed in relief, thank Merlin he didn't have to do written work outside of class anymore.
"How long have you been putting that off for?" Harry asked with a grin.
"To long." He grinned "And no one was willing to lend me their's to use for studying purposes." Seamus sighed sorrowfully. "They all said it was my own fault. And I call them friends." Harry chuckled at Seamus's dramatics, even with how much he put his classes off he always got better grades on his work then most of their year.
"Well I am going to bed." Harry announced yawning up the stairs.
"I should bloody kill Dumbledore." Ron announced the next morning as he was trying to wake Harry up as was per routine. "You were hard enough to get up without him wearing you down at night for who knows how long."
"Morning to you to Ron." Harry mumbled getting out of his bed and slowly moving around it to get clothes, and went trudging off to the bathroom to get ready for the day. Harry walked with Hermione and Ron down to the Great hall for breakfast miraculously on time for once. The three sat down and started eating Ron spreading his charms homework out hurrying to finish before they had the class that afternoon.
"Didn't I tell you to get that done a week ago?" Hermione asked appalled at how behind Ron had let himself get, "and why didn't you work on it yesterday. Seamus was. At least he's a bit more responsible then you." Hermione continued ranting at Ron through Breakfast only pausing to eat every now and then.
Harry looked up when the mail arrived, even after so many years of it happening he still loved watching all of the birds flying around, trying to be the first to find there human and deliver there burden. Harry was surprised when a tawny owl stopped before him. Harry took the parchment from the bird and it was on its way. He looked down at the seal and stuffed it into his pocket. Hermione and Ron were so into there argument they hadn't noticed he got anything much to his relief. He looked over at the Slytherin table and glanced at Draco. Why was he getting a letter with the Malfoy family seal on it?
"Come on you guys lets go to class." Harry said after too much of the two bickering. Really Hermione enjoyed ragging on Ron way too much for Harry's tastes. Hermione didn't let up on Ron as they were walking to there class and Ron had stopped responding as he was still trying to work on his essay while walking.
"Hey you guys I'll meet you in class okay?" Harry asked walking to a bathroom not too far down the hall.
"All right." Hermione called to him mid rant and Ron cut in asking her a question about the shrinking charm they were learning about. Hermione sighed but started helping him as they continued on to class.
Harry walked into the bathroom and into a stall shut the door and pulled out the letter he had received that morning. He slipped his finger under the seal and slid it across opening the parchment. He unrolled it noting that there was in fact two different letters there. He read the first one, which was from Lucius Malfoy Harry grinned at the contents of the letter.
Mr. Potter
It has come to my attention that I might want to care a bit more then I find enjoyable about what you do in your spear time. I have recently had a very interesting discussion with someone I believe you know quite well. Do not for one instant think I have automatically agreed with him about you. There is too much that does not seem right about you joining him. My son however I have always thought of as a good judge of character. I hope you are worthy of his affections. Do not force me into doing something either of us would regret.
-L Malfoy
Harry grinned tucking the note away. Death threats, nicer then Harry was expecting when this particular Death Eater found out. He moved to the next letter noticing it was Voldemort's hand. He read it over quickly and grinned broadly at the message he was given.
Harry walked quickly from the bathroom, both letters safely tucked into his pocket, and he was off to his first class of the day.
"Where you going Harry?" Ron asked from where he was sitting in the common room lounging in front of the fire. Hermione was going over the chess board that they were playing a game on so Ron had a few minutes at least since she always took her time contemplating all her moves to try and finally beat him.
"I don't know." Harry shrugged pulling on his coat and walking to the portrait whole, "just going to go walk around."
"Okay, see you at dinner." Ron called to Harry's disappearing frame grinning at the move Hermione made.
Harry walked casually down the hall in the direction of the Slytherin dorms. How should he go about getting into the other house's dorm? He could simply walk in, but it probably wouldn't be the smartest of moves since he wasn't wanting to get hexed as soon as he walked in. He went to the bathroom nearest the dorm and changed himself to look like Silence. He grinned into the mirror; "Draco is going to flip seeing me in there."
Harry walked down the hall and to the bare stretch of wall leading to the Slytherin common room. He knocked on the door and a third year opened it.
"What do you want?" she asked only opening the entrance enough to sneer at the boy she knew was not in her house.
"Get out of my way." He snapped sneering back at her.
"No, this isn't your house so you shouldn't be here." She said trying to keep her expressionless mask in place. The fear she was feeling leaking past as he glared down at her.
"I might not be in your house, but I do know a few people who are and wouldn't appreciate that you were blocking my entrance. Now move or I will make you."
"I don't think…"
"Well no one really cares do they?" Silence asked pushing the child out of his way and walking into the common room. Three other little third years quickly moved to hover over the girl Silence had pushed.
"What the hell are you doing?" one of them asked after making sure her friend was all right and glaring up at Silence. "You shouldn't be here. This is not your house."
"Everyone seems to feel the need to tell me." Silence said the words falling out of his mouth, "and yet I don't see why. I would think it quite obvious that I was in the wrong house since I was there at my shorting and know where I was put." The little girl opened her mouth to say something else her lips were moving but no sound came out. "Can't speak? It's not like when you're silenced is it?" he asked as she clawed at her throat a well as many of the other kids near by. Farther away people were still talking fine but the silence was creeping across the room. Silence looked around and noticed Draco close to a few of the kids who were being silenced and immediately stopped talking and closed his eyes concentrating for a second, when all noise returned and the little girl in front of him let out a blood curly scream.
"Can't you shut up you little bitch?" Silence asked the little girl glaring at her.
"Who the hell are you?" Blaise asked walking up to Silence and wrapping his arm around the little girl whispering to her quietly. Silence glared down at the little girl and Blaise.
"Silence?" Draco asked from where he was standing behind Blaise. Silence looked up and grinned at Draco. Blaise looked at Draco startled and back to Silence.
"Are you?" he asked awed. Silence glared at Blaise moving towards Draco.
"Well of course I am. Do you not think Draco would know?" Silence asked looking at Blaise incredulously, "your friends are about as stupid as the third years." He told Draco wrapping his arm around the blonde's waist.
"Well he has never seen you." Draco said trying to help Blaise out.
"Who is he?" the third year girl who'd screamed asked pulling Blaise closer to her as protection.
"I'm sure you've heard of me. I'm Silence." He grinned at the little girl. Her eyebrows raised and she hid further behind Blaise her friend who wouldn't let him in at the door scrambled to get out of Silence's line of sight as well. "So you have heard. And why is she hiding behind you?" he asked Blaise.
"She's my cousin." He told Silence. Silence nodded and turned to Draco.
"I need to talk to you." Silence whispered to Draco and smiling slightly as he saw Draco shiver as his breath trickled past the blonde's ear.
"I figured as much since you're here. What changed in a day?" Draco asked.
"Where's your room?" Silence asked distracted from all the questions everyone was asking him by the blonde in his arms.
"This way." Draco said pulling Harry after him to one of the doors lining the dorm. They walked through and down a dark corridor for a ways till they reached a door with no distinguishing marks. Draco pressed his hand to the door and waited till it swung open. Silence ginned at seeing him do that.
"Yes I copied your not letting anyone in charm." Draco said not even bothering to look back at Silence who was laughing lightly. "It works." Draco shrugged moving into his room and falling onto his bed. "So what's going on?" Draco asked.
"I was told I could show you who I really am."
"You can?" Draco asked excited. "Really?"
"Yes, but I don't know if I should. I've told you that you don't like me here." Silence warned looking at Draco carefully.
"Yes you did. So what? I like you as Silence I will like you as however you are here to since I know it's a façade." Draco said standing and pulling Silence with him over to his bed and pushing him down. Draco grinned, "I have thought about you in my bed way to often." Draco announced lying next Silence on his bed and kissing him deeply pulling away before he got carried away. "Who are you?" Draco asked curiously.
"You really want to know?" Silence asked nervously. Draco looked at him surprised.
"Since when are you ever nervous?" Draco asked puling away insanely curious now, "I promise, it doesn't matter." Draco said pulling Silence to him again for another kiss. As he pulled way and looked into Silence's eyes they were no longer the hazel he was accustumed to. Draco was looking into a pair of emerald eyes so green they could only belong to one person. "Potter?" Draco pulled way shocked.
Lying on Draco's bed was in fact Harry Potter. The bright emerald eyes and messy hair giving him away even without the scar on his forehead. Draco looked at him skeptically keeping away from the boy lying on his bed.
"I told you that you didn't like me here." Harry said sitting up and glaring at the blonde. "It doesn't matter. I will make you like me."
"Make me?" Draco drawled. A smirk flittering onto his face, "and how exactly do you plan to do that?" Harry grinned and stood in front of Draco looking up slightly to look straight into Draco's eyes.
"I hate that you're taller then me." Harry stated. Grabbing the front of Draco's shirt and kissing him hard on the mouth. They pulled away some time later Draco pressed against a wall the need for air too much for either of the boys to continue.
"I've always liked that fact Potter." Draco said grinning. Harry smiled back at him and dragged Draco to his bed and pushing him down on it. Harry climbed next to him and started kissing Draco again pulling the blonde's shirt off and kissing down his perfectly shaped chest. He started pulling Draco's pants down and Draco stopped him. Harry looked up at him confusion in his eyes.
"Its to weird for me. Let me get used to this before we do that." Harry sighed and pulled himself up kissing and biting at Draco's chest and stopping at his neck sucking on his pulse point and leaving a mark claming Draco as his.
"You better get used to it soon. Now that you know I'm going to want to be with as much as possible." Harry stated wrapping himself around the blonde.
"Going to be here when I wake up?" Draco asked the brunette lying practically on top of him.
"Well we still have dinner in awhile and I have to at least pretend I'm in my dorm. But, if you want, I can come back down here and let you wake up with me here in the morning."
"I want that." Draco said kissing Harry lightly.
"Okay." Harry said, "Mind if I take a nap?"
"No."
"Be here when I wake up?" Harry grinned up at Draco.
"Always." Draco grinned back. Draco kissed Harry gently, Harry licked at Draco's lips and Draco opened his mouth allowing Harry to enter. Harry indulged until air became needed and sighed lying back on Draco and not moving things further.
"You have better get used to this fast. Especially if you keep kissing me." He informed Draco tightening his hold on the blonde protectively, "your to perfect to not have as much of as possible, my beauty." He mumbled as he was slowly falling asleep. Draco grinned at Harry. After lying there for a few minutes he realized there really was no way for him to get up so he fell asleep as well.
