Here is chapter 10. Sorry for the wait. I probably would have had this up sooner if I hadn't lost half the chapter. Also I have been seriously busy with school and friends! Also some of my "friends" were like making fun of my writing, so that did put me off of writing for a while. I'm also thinking of creating a new account that no one else knows about, but I haven't decided what I'm going to do yet, at the very least I am going to be changing my name on this account. I promise to try to update more often!
Also I am not good at plots within plots so don't expect much of that from me, though I promise to at least try.

Things in italics are Harry and Tom talking through their connection!
Harry woke up suddenly the next morning. He panicked for a few moments until a big black furry dog came into his line of vision. Apparently padfoot decided to wake him up this morning.
"Sirius, don't scare me like that!" whined Harry.
"Prince, are you okay?" came Tom's concerned voice over their connection.
"I'm fine. Padfoot decided to surprise me this morning." Explained Harry, feeling happy that Voldemort was concerned about him.
"Okay good. Now why don't you get up and round up the mutt and everyone else and meet me downstairs for breakfast." Asked Voldemort.
"Sure thing!" said Harry.
"Okay let's get going. It's almost time for breakfast!" exclaimed Harry.
Harry ushered Padfoot out of the room, telling him to work on getting everyone else up then Harry took a shower and got dressed. When he went downstairs to the breakfast table he saw everyone else was already there, but they had left a chair open right next to Voldemort for him. For some reason Harry just doesn't see this as a coincidence.
"Hey guys, so what's up for today?" asked Harry as he sat down and began to gather his breakfast onto his plate.
"I thought we were going to torture Wormtail today and maybe if we have time, Bellatrix too? I know Sirius hates her almost as much as the rat." said Voldemort questioningly.
"Well I was thinking it over last night, and that does sound very fun, but I think instead we should mess with their heads a bit." Said Harry, with a Slytherin like smirk on his face.
"How do you supposed we do that Harry?" asked Voldemort confused, while at least Sirius and Remus looked like they knew what was going on, everyone else were just as confused as Voldemort.
"Well instead of killing them, like everyone expects us to, how about we play some pranks. They will never see it coming. They won't know what to make of it." Said Harry smirking evilly.
"That's actually a really good idea." Said Pansy in a mock surprised voice.
"Why thanks so much Pansy, I do get good ideas once and awhile you know." Grumbled Harry.
"No problem little one." Said Pansy cheerily, laughing when Harry retaliated my sticking out his tongue at Pansy.
"So what pranks do you have in mind little one?" asked Draco.
"None at the moment, but my guess is the second I brought it up Siri and Remy have been thinking up new ideas. Am I right guys?" asked Harry laughingly.
"Of course my little marauder. It just wouldn't be us if we didn't already have some ideas ready." Said Sirius mischievously.
"So what are they?" asked Hermione
"A good prankster never reveals their secrets, unless you are needed for help in the pranking you will not know what is going to happen until we actually prank them." Said Sirius evilly
"Of course, we can't wait to see what you have planned." Said Voldemort, much to the shock of everyone else in the room.
"Are you really not going to try to get them to tell us what they have planned?" Harry asked through their connection.
"No, it is not necessary, just think how much more amusing it will be, because we didn't know what they had planned." Explained Voldemort.
"But Tom! I want to know!" whined Harry causing Voldemort to snort.
"Don't whine little one, it is quite unbecoming of the Dark Prince." Chastised Voldemort.
"Fine!" Harry pouted.
Damn, he looks hot when he pouts thought Voldemort, though he was quick to try to banish those thoughts from his mind. He knew he was becoming steadily more attracted to Harry, but for now he was not going to act on it.
"Now come on, don't pout. Finish your breakfast and we will head to the training room, I think we need to practice detecting dark curses."
"We are on the dark side, and you want us to learn how to detect dark curses? No offense but that does seem a bit pointless." Said Harry confused.
"We never know what lengths Dumbles might go to. I want you all to be prepared and protected. You can never know what you might stumble upon and I don't want you getting hurt." Explained Voldemort.
"Fine whatever you think is best, Voldy. "Said Harry, secretly happy that Voldemort was concerned about him.
Just as Harry and Voldemort were about to announce the plans for the rest of the day they heard two distinct sounds of apparition. Within five minutes Severus and Lucius were walking through the door. Severus seemed surprised to see who was there with Harry and Voldemort; Lucius just sat down and helped himself to some breakfast, having talked to his son about everything already.
"My lord, how are you today?" asked Lucius as he started to eat.
"Very good. Though I see that although you have managed to at least make yourself comfortable without permission you cannot seem to lose the my lord thing. And for god's sake Severus stop hovering and sit down!"
"Yes my lord, sorry my lord." Severus said as he quickly sat down.
"He sounds like a bloody house elf." Commented Harry with a snort of laughter.
"Yes he does, it's quite hard to get them to stop that. Lucius alone took 4 months. Severus might be a bit harder, since he has to serve both me and Dumbles." Explained Voldemort, at the same time as he was telling Severus to also stop calling him my lord.
"Of course my l- um Voldemort." Said Severus quickly and nervously.
"There you go, that wasn't so hard now was it?" teased Voldemort.
"Okay enough teasing the death eaters. I think it's time to head to the training room." Harry interrupted.
Everyone gets up and heads to the training room. Before they all get started Voldemort asks if anyone else has expertise in detecting dark curses on objects, turns out Sirius, Remus, Lucius, Severus, and even Hermione will be able to help out in teaching everyone.
Everyone splits up into even smaller groups and starts the training. Everyone seems very eager to learn this training; they all know just how easy it would be to get hurt by touching an innocent looking object.
It took about 3 hours, but finally everyone was able to detect curses in objects, even if they aren't able to detect the major curses, they would still feel a hint of dark magic in the object.
When everyone was done they all went to go have lunch and then went to look up whatever they feel they need help on in the library.
Harry's choice subject was compulsion charms, and charms that can control people or make people have an extreme dislike for other people. He wanted to test it out though.
"Voldy, do you have any way I could test out these charms?" Harry asked.
"Well how about I cast a minor charm on Severus, if he agrees, and you can see if you can detect it." Said Voldemort.
"Severus come with Harry and I, we need your help with something." Said Voldemort.
They walked into one of the training rooms and Voldemort explained to Severus what they needed help with. Severus actually seemed pretty willing to allow Harry to experiment on him. He had seen Harry's abilities in the last few days and he trusted the boy not to kill him.
Voldemort cast a light compulsion charm on Severus, but when Harry ran the scan for the charm he came up with more than that charm. He also came up with some repulsion charms, though they seemed to be fading from what they once were. He told Voldemort about the results and he ran his own scan and came up with the same thing.
"Those are not supposed to be there, some of them are fading, but we need to cancel them. One is to get Severus to hate Gryffindors especially Harry and Neville." Explained Voldemort.
"Why does he have those on him though?" asked Harry, confused.
"I think Dumbledore has some control issues. He's the only person I can think of that would do something like this." Explained Voldemort.
"Can you reverse it my lord?" asked Severus, concerned.
"Yes I can, the scan I did, I had invented myself, it supplies me with the counter curse as well." Said Voldemort as he ran his wand over Severus.
"Thank you my lord. I am going to lie down for a while." Said Severus as he got up dizzily.
Severus left the room and Voldemort turned to Harry, with concern evident on his face.
"Harry, I want to run the scan on you too, you never know what Dumbledore might have done to you." Voldemort explained.
Harry nodded and Voldemort took out his wand and ran the scan. The results of the scan made him want to kill Dumbledore even more! Harry had some kind of loyalty inducing spell, also had a compulsion spell against Slytherins which was almost completely gone, and had quite a lot of power binded. Harry could've been much more powerful than he is already. Voldemort told Harry what he found and then started to disable all of the spells.
When he finished with everything Harry passed out. Having all of that power rush back to him must have taken a lot out of him. Voldemort was concerned as to how Harry might be feeling so he conjured a bed and laid Harry on it so he could enervate him and he would be comfortable.
"What happened?" Harry asked groggily.
"You passed out when all of your power came back to you, you are really very powerful now Prince. You are actually more powerful than both Dumbledore and I." Voldemort explained gently.
"You're not going to try to kill me, because I'm now more powerful than you are you?" Harry asked worriedly.
"Of course not Prince. You have already said you are quite content with your position in the regiment. I trust you and I will not just get rid of you like some low Death Eater." Voldemort said gently, trying to reassure Harry. When Harry still didn't look completely convinced he pulled Harry into his arms and just hugged him.
"You my prince are just too precious, trust me with this. I will never do anything to hurt you." Voldemort murmured into Harry's hair as they rocked back and forth.
After about 10 minutes Voldemort felt Harry fall asleep against him. He kissed Harry's forehead and moved him so he was lying back on the bed. Voldemort put a blanket over Harry and tucked him in. When he was done making sure Harry was going to be fine, he put a monitoring charm over the bed so he would know when Harry woke up. Then he walked back to where everyone else was relaxing to tell them all what happened.
"Hey where's Harry? Why did you guys leave so suddenly? And why did Snape just leave here pale white?" asked Sirius quickly.
"Well there's been a problem. Harry has been doing research on a spell on how to remove blocks in your system. And as we cast the spell on Severus we came up with some odd results, with some charms that really shouldn't have been there. He had a charm that basically made him loathe Gryffindors, especially Neville and Harry, though I'm not entirely sure why Neville was included in that." Voldemort explained.
"So what's wrong with Harry?" Remus asked concernedly.
"Well I had some suspicions that Voldemort had done the same to him, turns out I was right. He had a lot of his magic blocked and some loyalty and repulsion charms on him." Voldemort explained.
"WHAT? Where is he? I want to see my cub!" Remus exclaimed.
"Calm down! Harry is currently resting and I don't want to disturb him. He will be fine for now and I have a monitor up to alert us when he wakes up. Now we need to decide just what to do about Dumbledore." Said Voldemort.
"I think we need to dig up some dirt on him. Ruining his reputation will hurt him the most. That man cares way to much about his reputation." Draco suggested.
"That's perfect Draco! I'm sure if we do enough research we can find all we need to know!" exclaimed Hermione. Draco blushed at the praise.
"Your right, but for now it's time for dinner. It's getting late and I think we should all head up to bed right after. I'm also going to add a bed to the room where Harry is and I'll stay there tonight to make sure he's alright." Explained Voldemort as he ushered them all to the dining room where dinner was waiting. Remus and Sirius didn't look to happy with Voldemort staying with Harry, but knew it would be good in case something happened to Harry during the night. No one knew what the effect of having his magic rushed back into him might be.
They all sat down to eat. Everything was mostly silent throughout the whole meal. No one really knew what to say after that day's events. Everyone seemed kind of scared to say the wrong thing.
They all went to bed that night with a lot on their minds. Everyone still had one major thought though, that Harry had to be okay and Dumbledore had to be taken down. They all just hoped that the research would pay off and hoped that no one else was betrayed in the way Severus and Harry were. They were all worried, but it never crossed anyone's minds what would come up from that research and the scans Voldemort was planning on running on everyone. What they would find out will probably haunt them for the rest of their lives, how could one person cause so much damage?
