Thank you to all that wished me a happy birthday, reviewed, story alerted, or favorited. I very much appreciate it. Sorry it has taken so long to update again. It was really hard to think of new ideas. Sorry if this chapter sucks, I wanted to write it before the weekend is over, because it has been so long since I updated. I will try to update sooner from now on, but I can not promise anything, because I have work everyday except for weekends. I am really glad so many like this story and I hope you guys continue to read and review it! :)

DISCLAIMER: J.K. ROWLING WAS THE ONE WHO CREATED THESE WONDERFUL CHARACTERS.

HARRY'S POV:

I just woke up in a very strange room. It's covered in green and silver. I have to be in a Slytherins house, but who's? The last thing I remember is Professor Snape giving me a dreamless sleep potion. It has to be his house, that's the only thing that would make sense, but why would he take me to his and not the burrow or Sirius' house? None of this is making sense. I guess I should probably get up and look around. Hopefully I can find Professor Snape. I hear someone coming up the stairs. They stop outside my door. Professor Snape opens the door.

"Professor where am I?" I ask hoping this time he will actually give me an answer.

"Potter you are in a house where you will be safe for once." He answered, but it just made me even more confused. What did he mean by I will be safe for once, wasn't I safe at the burrow, my uncle's house ( well safe from Voldemort at least), or Sirius' house?

"Professor what do you mean by safe for once? I thought I was safe at all the places I have stayed."

"You have been safe from Voldemort in most of those places, but that will no longer be a problem." Everything he says just makes me even more confused than before.

"Why will that no longer be a problem?"

"Before I answer that question I will need to ask you a few things."

"What do you need to know Professor?" I reply.

SNAPE'S POV:

The boy just woke up. I am not completely sure what I am supposed to tell him. How the hell am I supposed to explain that he is in a house that belongs to a Death Eater and Voldemort is the one that wanted him here? How do I explain that Voldemort no longer is wanting to kill him? Dammit, why am I the one that has to do this shit? I will start off by asking him questions about the Dursley's and ease into telling him about Voldemort.

"Potter, how long have you been abused by the Dursley's" I don't know how to ask him without being blunt, I just hope his Gryffindor side doesn't let him get scared away.

"I don't know what you are talking about Professor. I am not being abused." Then again the boy was abused, he's going to act like a normal abused child, which will make this all the more difficult, especially since it means he most likely has trust issues.

"You used to live in a cupboard, and they lock you in your room without food or water or being able to go to the bathroom. You seriously think that's not abuse?" I see no other way than being blunt to get the boy to see reason.

"They just don't like me. I make their lives difficult. Plus Dumbledore says that it happens to a lot of kids, I just have to get over it. Move on and continue to do what everyone wants me to do, fight Voldemort."

His reply makes me see red. I can not believe that old fool would drill that into the boy's head. Has he not seen what abused children can turn into if they are mistreated and ignored for to long? If their abuse goes ignored and their crys for help unanswered? I swear I am going to murder that old fool myself. He saw what happened to me and Voldemort, but he still hopes Harry will turn out to be the bloody Golden Boy.

"Mr. Potter, Whatever Dumbledore told you in regards to your old living situation and your supposed duty to the wizarding world is complete bullshit!" I can see he still doesn't believe me, but that will have to be Voldemort's problem, he's the one that decided to turn the boy to the dark side. It will probably be easier this way.

"Whatever Professor. But what do you mean by my old living situation?" Damn I was hoping he wouldn't catch that.

"Potter you will not be returning to those horrid muggles ever again."

"Okay Professor but where will I stay?"

"You will be staying here."

"Where is here?"

Damn we got back to that question pretty fast. I guess now will be the best time to explain some things to the kid.

"Potter how much do you trust Dumbledore?" I figure knowing his relationship with the old coot would be a good place to start.

"Well..." I can tell he is hesitant to tell me, probably scared I will tell Dumbledore.

"Potter, spit it out. Dumbledore will not know anything you say."

"I don't sir." Well that's surprising, but I probably should have seen it coming with everything that has happened to him in his life, especially the years since he has entered the wizarding world again.

"Okay Potter. That will make everything a lot easier. Mr. Potter I am going to give you a calming draught. It is only so what I tell you does not send you into a panic attack.

HARRY'S POV:

I drink the calming draught Professor Snape gives me. I am so beyond confused right now and really need to hear what he says.

"Potter, right now you are in a house that belongs to one of Voldemort's men." I can't believe this! Why would Snape bring me to a Death Eater's house? Is he trying to get me killed? I want to get up and run, but thanks to the calming draught I only a feel a small sense of panic that I would have felt without it.

"Professor I don't understand."

"Potter I don't even fully understand myself, but I will try to explain this as best as I can. You see Voldemort had the same abusive upbringing you had." I want to try to argue that I am not abused, but I am not willing to stop him telling me why the hell I am in this house.

"As you very well know, your connection to Voldemort makes you able to see what he is doing at certain times. But what you didn't know or realize is that Voldemort is also able to see what you are doing and what is happening to you. He saw you being abused." Holy shit! Voldemort saw my uncle doing that to me. Fuck, he's going to torture me with that information, but wait why am I here?

"What does Voldemort seeing that have to do with me being here?" I can see him struggling not to insult me or something. So he settles on just sneering at me.

"Potter you are here, because Voldemort wanted you away from your uncle." This is making no sense. Why the hell would Voldemort want to save me from my uncle?

"Why? Voldemort wants me dead, so why would he save me from getting abused? Seems like something he would normally torture me with."

"Potter did I not tell you he had an abusive upbringing as well. There is only one thing in the world that makes him seem almost human, and that's kids being abused. He can't stand it and will stop it in any way possible. It's his only weakness."

I guess most of what Snape is telling me makes sense. But I still feel like there is more to this than Snape is telling me.

"There's more isn't there Professor?"

"Yes there is, but I will not be the one to explain it to you. I have done enough already. Voldemort will be the one to explain it to you. Do not freak out when he comes in. He will not hurt you. Just trust me for once."

I really don't want to do this, but I need to know what the hell is happening.

"Where's my wand sir?"

"Here Potter." He hands me my wand and leaves the room. I guess he went to go get Voldemort. I feel a little better now that I have my wand with me, but I am still uneasy about being in the same room with him.

I can hear someone coming up the stairs and stopping outside my room. It must be Voldemort, I sit up straighter in bed and clutch my wand in my hand. I need to be ready just in case. The door opens and what I see surprises the hell out of me. Voldemort looks like he did when he was younger. He's also unarmed. It will be a lot easier to talk to him now that he doesn't look like a snake and he doesn't have his wand with him.

The conversation between Tom and Harry will be in the next chapter. I am just to tired to write it now. Hope this chapter didn't suck to much. Please review. It means a lot to me and it helps me improve the story.
