I did my best for a Voldemort POV, hope you guys like! =)
I was outside at Slughorn's lake. Potter had taken me here and now I was just sitting in the grass feeling it flow slightly in the wind while Harry kept trying to make me swim. He'd removed my shirt. How dare he touch me!
"Come on. It's summer. Everyone swims in summer." He begged. I rolled my eyes.
"If you are so determined someone swim, then jump in the water." I demanded. "Otherwise leave me alone!" I demanded. He ran his hand through his hair, something I've noticed he does when he's exasperated. Then he gave me a kind smile.
"Okay Tom." He picked me up and walked into the water. He also was wearing nothing but shorts. No shirt. He walked to the shallows and set me down where I could touch the bottom of the lake with my feet but the water went up to my chest. I glared at him. He went farther in the water before trying to beckon me over to him. "I'm sure you can swim."
"I can fly without support, of course I can fly."
"Then prove it." I gave him a grin.
"Your Slytherin ways won't work on me Potter. I was Slytherin first." His smile fell. I turned and headed for the house.
"You know, children always seem to be eager to be getting in the water during summer. I know I would have loved to be able to swim instead of doing chores."
"And whose fault is that Potter?" I sneered as I reached the shore. I jumped back in, shivering. It's cold. I blinked, surprised.
"Come and play Tom!" Potter called. I used my feet to find a place to sit in the shallows. Then I crossed my arms as I watched Harry play in the water. "Please? We'll do what you want next if you do."
"I will not be manipulated Potter." He sighed again before starting his own thing, floating and swimming in his own little area. I watched him for a bit. What harm would it do if I just let go and enjoyed myself for a minute? My Death Eaters are all probably dead by now and I won't be earning my place as Dark Lord again anytime soon. Even I knew when you had to admit something you didn't want to.
With that in mind I stood up and walked until I was walking on my tip toes in the water and soon I started floating and I swam toward Potter. I gave him a wide berth as I aimed for the center of the lake but soon my little body was getting tired of the effort of both moving and trying to keep my head from going under so I started floating on my stomach instead.
A few minutes later I heard water splashing and turned my head to see Harry coming over. Harry ducked and came back to the surface, right next to me. I scoffed at him. "You're more desperate for intimacy than Bella." I replied, using my arms to swim away from him backwards. He grinned.
"That's not true Tom. I'm not in love with you."
"Again with the word 'love', Potter? Maybe you should marry it." I spat, smirking wider.
"At least 'Bella' isn't here to see you like this."
"I thought you hated Bellatrix. She did kill Sirius Black, her own cousin. You had a chance to kill her, Harry. You missed out on it. I would have let you."
"How did you even stop me from using it on you?"
"I didn't, I knew what you were going to try and disarmed you." I smirked wider, almost sneering. "I can still look into your mind if I wanted to."
"I suppose you could. I suck at Occlumency."
"Snape tried to teach you. I think the only reason Dumbledore didn't is because he wanted you to trust him, and not know that he could get into your mind as well. How else could he always know what was on Golden Boy's mind?" Talking with this kid is so easy. He's my enemy, yet we converse as if we know each other.
"Actually he was-…"
"Afraid I'd use you to hurt him? How clever." Harry frowned.
"Dumbledore wasn't afraid of anything."
"He's afraid of you getting hurt. Or maybe he isn't. Don't forget your Fifth year or the Dursleys. You know how I know I'm better than you? I taught myself Occlumency and Legilimency at a young age." It was true. Harry couldn't even learn it at fifteen. Surprising how sharing the same blood with the boy would give us a mind link. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that he has a shard of my soul within him.
"Come on, Tom. We should get out of the water." He looked up at the sky. I followed his sight to see the sun was threatening to set. I headed for the shore and Harry followed me. I shook off some of the water before heading for the house.
When I reached it, I entered and went to my room. I set the bath and removed my trousers before getting in the bathtub. I used my magic to slam the door and lock it to keep Potter out of the bathroom before using the same magic on the door to my room and the door to the closet. That way Potter will have to guess where I am if he wants to see me again.
I washed my hair and bathed the lake water from me before getting out and climbing onto the bathroom counter to dry myself off. I used the heating spell, that others would claim burned or stung them, to dry my hair thoroughly and then climbed down before heading to the closet to pick a black shirt, black jeans and a black wizard robe to wear over the other clothes. Such a disappointment I couldn't wear my robes from my time as Dark Lord but Harry refused to return to the place that Wormtail killed Cedric and I couldn't go on my own because of my resemblence to my pathetic Muggle Father and the Ministry keeping an eye on that place. So on my own I was likely to get recognized.
After that I headed downstairs and ordered a warm meal from the house elves who gladly obliged. I don't see what would be so wrong with me ruling the world. Everyone would get what they want and I would be in charge of it all. If you asked me there were too many people who seemed to give a care about those wretched Mudbloods and Muggles. If only they could see that they would ruin our heritage, our way of life.
