Okay so I'm not sure how often I will be able to update in the next couple of weeks, I have to read 5 books for school and do a 6 page latin paper! Oh if any of you know latin HELP! I'm usually very good at it, but I seem to have forgotten some things!
Here is chapter 8! Hope you guys like it! From now on I will mention the people who reviewed the last chapter to show just how much I appreciate their reviews! To all those who had reviewed previous chapters I thank you, but it would take to long to write all the names, but if you keep reviewing you will get your name mentioned eventually! Promise!
Also thanks to the 68 people who story alerted this! I can't put your names, it would take up the whole chapter, if i do decide to do that in the next chapter then I will break the names up throughout a few chapters!
Thanks to Cayti Leigh , hanakisa , felicia2235 , yukino89 , shebajay , newbee25 , Angel JJK , Mistress of Magic22 , dreamlesswinter , geekquality for reviewing the last chapter, I appreciate it so much! :D
3rd person pov:
Voldemort and Harry were sitting in the living room waiting for everyone to arrive. Harry was glad that everyone took the news well, but he was still worried how they would all react to being in the same house as Voldemort. Just when he was thinking of ways to make everyone feel comfortable the fire turned green and out came the slytherins and they brought blaise Zabini with them, not that Harry minded, because the two got along pretty well, they just weren't as close as the others.
HARRY'S POV:
"um Hi guys!" I said trying to get them to stop smirking at me. They did always know that I would end up being on their side eventually.
"Hey Harry!" Pansy was the first to step up and hug me, which got the rest of them moving and I ended up being mashed in the circle of hugs.
"Aren't group hugs unslytherin?" I said making them all jump apart. The looks on their faces has me cracking up.
"Oh shut it Harry. Now when is everyone else getting here?" asked Draco.
Draco was suprisingly the first slytherin friend I made. We had detention together and ended up making a truce, because it just took to much effort to keep fighting each other. After the truce we were polite to each other, saying hi when we see each other. Eventually that expanded to studying together and sitting together, which of course had to include our friends. Everything just kind of progressed from their. I wasn't as close to Blaise, because he spent a lot of his time studying, it will be nice to get to know what he's like outside of school.
"They should be here in the next minute, they're all taking portkeys." That makes Draco happy, because I know he has a thing for 'Mione. I just need to get him to admit it then I could set them up as I know 'Mione feels the same way.
We all sit down to wait and exactly a minute later Neville is standing in front of us. Next comes the Weasley's, then Siri and Remy, then Luna and then finally 'Mione. Suddenly I find my self in another group hug.
"Guys...need...to...breathe!" This gets them to finally let go, I love them, but all at once can be a bit suffocating, literally.
"Sorry Cub! Now I believe we would all like to hear a very big explanation."
Of course Remy would demand that. I motion for them to all sit down and begin to tell the story of how I just happened to end up here and on the dark side and as the Dark Prince. The whole story takes about 20 minutes to explain with Voldemort helping out when he could.
"This is awesome! Now our little one is with us!" I scowl at Pansy for calling me that little one! She just smirks at me and turns to Voldemort.
"Now my Lord I trust you have been taking good care of the little one for us!" Which of course just makes me scowl even more. I look at Voldemort and see that he's desperately trying not to laugh.
"Of course Pansy. Now call me Voldemort, the my lord crap will get annoying after awhile, that goes to all of you. Trust me when I say your little one is perfectly taken care of here as will all of you be." I can tell he threw in the little one thing just to piss me off.
I just sit there and glare at the two of them, but after about a minute I get bored and jump up.
"Okay let's go set up some rooms, Voldy your going to have to help me here." I call him Voldy to get back at him for the little one thing.
He glares at me, but gets up and motions for us to all follow him. He leads us to the second floor where I am staying. I show them my room so they know where it is then we sort out the rest of the rooms. Apparently Voldemort is staying in the one to the left of me.
"Okay Sirius and Remus will be staying in the one across from Harry. Hermione will be in the one right of Harry. Next to Sirius and Remus and across from Hermione will be Draco. Next to Draco will be Neville. Across from Neville and next to Hermione will be Ginny. Next to Ginny will be Luna. Across from Luna and next to Ginny will be Theo. Next to Theo will be Bill. Across from Bill and next to Luna will be Charlie. Next to Charlie will be Pansy. Across from Pansy and next to Bill will be Fred. Next to Fred will be George. Across from George and next to Pansy will be Gregory. Next to Gregory will Vincent. Across from Vincent and next George will be Blaise." As Voldemort explained the living arrangements he motioned each person to stand in front of their doors.
"Okay does anyone have a problem with these arrangements?" No one said anything so Voldemort motioned for everyone to go inside. I've already seen my rooms so I go around to see what each person's rooms look like. After that I head to my room and Pansy catches up to me.
"So little one can I see your room now?"
"Not if you keep calling me little one! You know I hate it!" She just smirks at me.
As soon as we are in my room she rushes to my wardrobe.
"Nice little one got some new clothes! I'm so happy you made this decision Harry!" Even though she called me that dratted nickname again I can't help but smile.
"I did didn't I."
There's a knock at the door and I turn around to see Siri and Remy staring at me.
"Um I will just go and let you three talk. See you guys later and I will tell everyone to leave you alone for a little while."
"Thanks Pans." I give her a kiss on the cheek. I motion for my godfathers to come in and close the door.
As soon as the door is closed they both rush and pull me into a hug. I can't help but feel happy. I have my family and I am no longer being used as a weapon. After a few minutes they pull away and we all sit down on my bed. Though they both still have their arms around me. I can tell they are still slightly worried about this new side of me.
"Guys you can stop worrying. I am fine here. It's a lot better than being at the Dursley's. I actually get to eat here." At that both their arms tighten around me.
"We know Cub, but we still can't help but worry. We love you like a son and don't want to lose you."
"I know and I think of you both as father's. But Remy I would have been killed if I stayed on the light side. That is what Dumbledore has been preparing me for, or rather not preparing me. I wouldn't have stood a chance against Voldemort. This way me and the rest of my family are safe."
"Pup, we support you in this. You never have to worry about us leaving you. I can understand why you made this decison. Though I am slightly suprised that Voldemort rescued you." I can tell that is what really worries and confuses Sirius. He doesn't know why Voldemort rescued me, what his motives were.
"He told me why, but I'm not sure if I am allowed to tell you." I'm not sure how Voldemort would react to me telling them.
"You can tell them Harry." That shocked me, Voldemort's voice just came through my head.
"Voldemort? How are we talking to each other right now?"
"I figured out that our connection will allow us to converse telapathically." Of course! That actually makes a lot of sense.
"Good to know, but now I need to get back to this conversation. Remy and Siri are looking at me weirdly. I think they might be questioning my sanity."
"Don't we all." I can feel his chuckle through the connection. It's a weird yet pleasant feeling.
"Um Sorry guys, spaced out there for a second." I'm not sure if I want to tell them about the connection yet.
"So you wanted to know why Voldemort rescued me. He did because he was also abused as a child. I guess watching my uncle do that to me was to much for him."
"Wow who would have thought that the Dark Lord was an abused child. Though it does explain a lot. Was it by any chance by a muggle?" Of course Remy will make the connections.
"Yes it was. That is a part of his reason to dislike muggles."
"That all explains so much!" Remy looked like he was thinking about something important, where as Siri was just nodding to everything he said.
We sit and talk for another hour or so until Voldemort knocks on the door to tell us dinner is ready.
We walk down to dinner with everyone and I sit between Luna and Theo. You wouldn't think it when looking at Theo, but he's the sensitive one. I go to him when I need to talk. I smile at him and kiss his cheek and turn to Luna and do the same. She snaps out of the dreamy stare long enough to smile at me. Everyone is used to me being very affectionate. I guess after not being loved for so long it is natural to be affectionate with those who have shown me love.
"So Tom, what are your plans for all of us?" Luna asks Voldemort in the dreamy voice. He twitches at the name. I decided I need to fill him in on some things.
"Don't bother correcting Luna. She will always call you Tom. It's just how she is. The only other person besides her calling you that will probably be me so don't worry about not being respected."
"But Harryyy she called me that dreaded muggle name."
"Really? Is the great Dark Lord whining?"
"No! I do not whine! And you better not call me Tom!"
"Sure thing Tom!"
"HARRY!" I just laugh at him, which of course has everyone looking at me oddly. I just shrug and smile innocently.
"Well to answer your question Luna, Harry will of course be the Dark Prince. Since all of you are considered his family you will now be the inner circle. You do not have to be a death eater, but you will be respected by all of them."
That seems to please everyone. The slytherins are obviously already death eaters, but now they are inner circle. Everyone else will be less than them. Plus they won't have to kneel on the ground the whole meeting, they get to sit in chairs. The kneeling gets uncomfortable after awhile. The rest of my family looks happy to not have to become death eaters, though I think they might attend meetings when they feel like it.
We continue to eat dinner everyone having their own conversations. When everyone is finished we go to the sitting room where everyone either reads or plays chess. I just sit and watch everyone. It's nice to see my whole family and Vold- no Tom, get along so well.
Eventually we all head up to bed. Not knowing of the great suprise instore for us tomorrow.
Okay that was chapter 8! Hope you all liked it! Going to do something new at the end of chapters because I thought it was cute when I saw other authors do it, though mine will obviously be different.
HARRY: I certainly did!
ME: OMG IT'S HARRY POTTER!
HARRY: Yepp, I like the reuniting with my family thing, very sweet. But I don't appreciate being called little one over and over again!
ME: I'm sorry, but it's just so cute! :)
HARRY: Well for punishment you have to wait until you get 20 reviews till you can update again!
ME: Okay guys, you heard the little one ;) I won't update again until I get 20 reviews!
Oh and if you have any ideas on what the great suprise should be then I could use them!
