Disclaimer:I don't own Harry Potter or Venom
"Wait, Professor Lupin, it's me, Harry" said Venom exposing Harry's face.
Lupin took a step back, extreme shock on his face. "Harry?" he whispered.
"Potter, is that you," growled Moody, with his magical eye he could see underneath Venom's body and saw Harry.
"Yes," said Harry as Venom transformed into blue jeans and a black jacket over a blue shirt.
"What in the name of Merlin, Potter is that suit alive?" Moody yelled.
"Uh, would you freak out if I said yes?"
Lupin was silent for a moment and said,"Harry, I don't know where you got that suit but it must be dang-"
"HEY!" Venom yelled as his face appeared in the middle of Harry's shirt. "Who are you calling a it!"
Venom then transformed Harry's clothes into his symbiote costume only it was in the form it was before Venom muscled it.
"Harry, it's time to high tail it out of here!"
"Uh, I gotta go," said Harry as he jumped back into his room to retrieve his wand, dodging the spells thrown at him.
Wand in hand, a pocket appeared in Harry's waist, which he deposited it into.
The pocket disappeared and the wand was absorbed into the costume, causing Harry to yell,"Hey, where did my wand go?"
"Don't worry, I sent it to a pocket dimension, I can bring it back in a heartbeat if you want it back," said Venom.
Feeling reassured, Harry leapt out of the window jumped on another building.
He could hear the order yelling at him, but he ignored them and continued to jump from building to building until he was far into a urban part of some city.
As he put more and more distance between him and the Order, Harry realized something.
"Hey Venom, where are we going to go now?"
"Well we can't go crawling back to the Order, they'd try to take me off you, and trust me, you do NOT want to feel the agony of that. The Weasley's wouldn't be a good idea either, they'd alert the Order the moment they see you, or me for that my matter."
"Then where do you reckon we should go?"
"I know!" Why don't we just wander around all summer and fight Voldemort and his Death Eaters by ourselves?"
"Huh?" said Harry feeling confused.
"Remember last year when you wanted to join the Order, but they wouldn't let you because they thought you weren't strong enough? Well, I say you should show them your not a weakling and kick as much Death Eater butt as you can during the summer?"
Harry thought about that for a moment and said,"You know, that's not such a bad idea. Unfortunately, neither of us have the slightest idea where any of his Death Eaters are."
"Darn, I forgot about that," said Venom.
Landing on a rooftop to catch his breathe a bit, Harry looked a bakery and saw in the display window... a large chocolate cake.
"Ooh, chocolate," Venom moaned.
"Err, are you alright Venom?"
"Harry, quick, go to that shop and let me have some of that chocolate cake," said Venom gleefully.
"Venom, I don't have any money on me right now," said Harry.
"Then steal it!"
"I ain't stealing it, besides, why do you want it so much anyways?"
"Chocolate contains a chemical in it which helps me keep myself strong and sane, and besides it's the most tastiest thing in the universe! Please get me some!"
"No," said Harry rather bluntly.
"That's evil, Harry, denying a symbiote something so pure, so wonderful, so-"
Venom didn't get to finish his sentence because at that moment, a explosion was heard.
Harry quickly looked around to see what was causing the commotion and saw about 15 Death Eaters running amok, happily terrorizing muggles.
"Heh heh, looks like we didn't need to look at all, huh?" Venom laughed.
Harry didn't respond because at that moment he saw one Death in the group that he hated above all others. Bellatrix Lestrange.
Automatically he felt a rather powerful surge of hatred beginning to course through him, empowering Venom with strength.
Simultaneously, his costume transformed into it's monstrous form as a low growl escaped Venom's throat.
Bellatrix enjoyed watching and hearing the Muggle's fleeing in terror when a large van nearly collided with her head.
"Who threw that?" she said, perplexed at this.
"We did," growled a vicious voice.
Venom leaped from the building and landed down hard on the ground, creating a small crater where he landed, alerting the Death Eater's of his location.
"You," said Bellatrix with a mixture of disgust and possibly fear, "What the bloody hell are you?"
"We'll tell yea, YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE!" Venom roared, the hate and anger Harry was causing both of them to be unable to think clearly.
Venom dashed towards Bellatrix, his claws ready to strike, when they all started firing curses at him.
Venom stopped and let out short screech of pain before he punched the nearest Death Eater in the chest, sending him flying quite a distance.
Venom leapt at another one and sank his jaws right into the man's wand arm, causing him to scream in pain.
Venom let go and slashed his stomach with his claws and threw him away like a ragdoll, leaving the Death Eater badly injured.
"Avada Kedavra!" Bellatrix screamed, firing the deadly curse at Venom.
Venom jumped up to dodge it and the curse hit one of the Death Eater's, killing him.
"Heheheheh, poor little Death Eater!" Venom cackled.
Venom fired two web-lines at two death eaters and pulled them towards himself.
Venom then jumped towards them in mid-air and kicked them in the chest, and for a moment, Venom could of sworn he heard bone's being broken.
Then Venom noticed that Bellatrix was trying to escape from amidst the chaos and bellowed,"OH, NO YOU DON'T!"
Venom lunged at her and tackled her hard to the ground. Not wasting one moment, he started slashing her violently with his claws for a few seconds before cackling,"HAHAHAHA! Does it hurt, Bella?"
Bellatrix let out a yell of pain and aimed her wand at Venom who slapped it away before she could say an incantation and then webbed her mouth closed.
Jumping a couple feet away from her, Venom fired some webbing at her, tying her up, and before he could reel her in, she disapparated, taking the webbing with her.
Venom let out a horrible screeching roar of pure anger that terrified the remaining Death Eater's, one of whom fell on his knee's screaming,"Please don't kill us!"
Venom growled,"Oh, don't worry about that, we're not going to kill you, we're going to cripple you!"
A couple of minute's later...
Venom breathed loudly as he started calm down, as he surveyed his handy work.
All of the Death Eater's were cocooned in webbing and hung together in groups on street lamps, all sporting nasty injuries.
The only one who wasn't knocked out was twitching rather violently, apparently in shock.
Soon, Harry was calm enough to ask,"Is that your true power?"
"Yeah, pretty cool, huh, and by the way, what do you think of our great power," asked Venom.
"The power, it feels good," breathed Harry.
"Heheh, I know, by the way, still want to go after dear old Bella?"
Harry was confused and said,"Huh? But we don't know where she went."
"Let me explain, when she disapparated away, she took my webbing with her, right? Well, as long as one little strand of webbing is still intact, I can sense it and follow it wherever it is."
"So we can track down Bellatrix," said Harry feeling a surge of bloodlust again.
"Yep, and then when we find her, we can flip a coin to decide whether to eat her brain, or to humiliate her for life," said Venom cheerfully.
"Err, eat her brains?" said Harry feeling repulsed. Sure, he hated her, but he never wanted to eat her brain, that was just... wrong.
"Fine, be a spoil sport. Anyways we gotta go now, my webbing turns into dust after two hours or so, and after that I won't be able to track her anymore."
"Right, but first, let me leave a note for the aurors," said Harry looking at the captured Death Eaters.
After camouflaging himself so he wouldn't be seen, Venom started following the webbing's tracking signal, which according to him was quite a distance away.
But after 20 or something minutes, Venom sensed that Bellatrix had apparated again and this time, somewhere very close.
Doubling his speed, Venom leaped and swung until he finally found Bellatrix on the edge of a dirty river.
Venom grinned evilly and was about to strike when another figure apparated next to Bellatrix. He couldn't tell who it was, the figure was hooded and then it started running to someplace.
Bellatrix started running after her, limping slightly and said,"Cissy, wait!"
Feeling curious, Venom silently pursued them from a short distance when Bellatrix yelled,"Cissy, Narcissa, listen to me!"
'Narcissa? She doesn't mean Narcissa Malfoy?' thought Harry.
Bellatrix seized the hooded women's arm, but then she pulled it away.
"Go back, Bella!"
"You must listen to me!" 'Listen to what?'
"I've listened already. I've made my decision. Leave me alone!"
Narcissa reached the top of the bank, where a line of old railings separated the river from a narrow, cobbled street.
Bellatrix continued to follow her and side by side they stood looking across the road at the rows and rows of dilapidated brick houses, their windows dull and blind in the darkness.
"He lives here?" asked Bellatrix in a voice of contempt. 'He? He who?' wondered Harry. "In this Muggle dunghill? We must be the first of our kind ever to set foot-"
But Narcissa was not listening, she had slipped through a gap in the rusty railings and was already hurrying across the road.
"Cissy, wait!"
Bellatrix followed, as did Venom, and saw Narxissa darting through an alley between the houses into a second identical street. Some of the street lamps were broken; the two women along with Venom were running between patches of light and deep darkness.
Bellatrix caught up with Narcissa just as she turned another corner and this time succeeded in catching hold of her arm and swinging her around so that they faced each other.
"Cissy, you must not do this, you can't trust him-"
"The Dark Lord trust him, doesn't him, doesn't he?" 'Voldemort trusts who?'
"The Dark Lord is... I believe mistaken," Bellatrix panted. 'Hold on, Bellatrix thinks Voldemort is wrong about something?'
"In any case, we were told not to speak of the plan to anyone. This a betrayal of the Dark Lord's-"
"Let go, Bella!" snarled Narcissa, and she drew her wand from behind her cloak, holding it threateningly in Bellatrix's face. 'Curse her, curse her, curse her, curse her,' Harry chanted.
Bellatrix laughed and said,"Cissy, your own sister? You wouldn't-"
"There is nothing I wouldn't do anymore!" Narcissa breathed hysterically as she brought down her wand like a knife, causing a flash of light.
Bellatrix let go of her sister's arm as though burned and yelled,"Narcissa!"
But Narcissa had rushed ahead. Rubbing her hand, Bellatrix followed again, keeping her distance as did Venom as they moved deeper into the deserted labyrinth of brick houses.
At last, Narcissa hurried up a street named Spinner's End, over which the towering mill chimney seemed to hover like a giant adomonitory finger. Her foot steps echoed on the cobbles as she passed boarded and broken windows, until she reached the very last house, where a dim light glimmered through the curtains in a downstairs room.
She had knocked on the door before Bellatrix, cursing under her breath, had caught up. Together, the three stood waiting until after a few seconds, they heard movement behind the door and it opened a crack.
A sliver of a man could be seen looking out at them, a man with long black hair parted in curtains around a sallow face and black eyes.
It took everything Harry had not to yell in shock, mentally he bellowed,'SNAPE! What's he doing here?'
Narcissa threw back her hood. She was so pale that she seemed to shine in the darkness; the long blonde hair streaming down her back her the look of a drowned person.
"Yesh, what happened to her," Venom wondered.
"Naricisaa!" said Snape, opening the door a little wider,"What a pleasant surprise!"
"Severus," she said in a strained whisper. "May I speak to you? It's urgent."
"But of course."
He stood back to allow her to pass him into the house. Venom silently passed into the house as Bellatrix followed without invitation.
"Snape," she said curtly as she passed him.
"Bellatrix," he replied, his thin mouth curling into a smirk at the sight of her wounds. "Gotten yourself wounded lately?"
Bellatrix hissed at him, causing both Snape and Venom to smirk.
They stepped into a tiny sitting room as Venom surveyed his surroundings. 'Merlin, is this really where Snape lives?' thought Harry.
Snape gestured Narcissa to the sofa. She threw off her cloak, cast it aside, and sat down staring at her white and trembling hands clasped in her lap. Bellatrix lowered her hood to reveal her face, as Venom suppressed a angry growl.
"So, what can I do for you?" Snape asked, settling himself in the armchair opposite the two sisters.
"We... we are alone, aren't we?" Narcissa asked quietly. 'No you're not.' said Harry. "Yes, your being watched, watched I say!' yelled Venom dramatically
"Yes, of course. Well, Wormtail's here, but we're not counting vermin, are we?" 'What, Pettigrew's here?'
Snape pointed his wand at the wall of books behind him and with a bang, a hidden door flew open, revealing a narrow staircase upon which Wormail stood frozen.
"As you have clearly realized, Wormtail, we have guests," said Snape lazily.
"Narcissa!" he said, in a squeaky voice. "And Bellatrix! How charming-"
"Wormtail will get us drinks, if you'd like them," said Snape. "And then he will return to his bedroom."
Wormtail winced and said,"I am not your servant!" 'Who cares what you think?' snarled Harry.
"Really? I was under the impression that the Dark Lord placed you her to assist me."
"To assist, yes- but not to make you drinks and- clean your house!"
"I had no idea, Wormtail, that you were craving more dangerous assignments," said Snape silkily. "This can be easily: I shall speak to the Dark Lord-"
"I can speak to him myself if I want to!" said Wormtail shrilly. 'By speak, you mean whimper to him, right?' said Harry.
"Of course you can," said Snape, sneering. "But in the meantime, bring us drinks. Some of the elf-made wine will do."
Wormtail hesitated for a moment, looking as though he might argue, but then turned went through a second door and returned carrying a dusty bottle and three glasses upon a tray. He put it down on the table and scurried from their presence, slamming the book-covered door behind him.
Snape poured out three glasses of blood red wine and handed two of them to the sisters. Narcissa murmured a word of thanks, whist Bellatrix said nothing, but continued to glower at Snape. This did not seem to intimidate him; on the contrary, he looked rather amused.
"The Dark Lord," he said, raising his glass and draining it. 'Yeah, to the biggest, bald headed snake face loser of all time,' said Venom sarcastically.
The sisters copied him. Snape refilled their glasses. As Narcissa took her second drink she said in a rush,"Severus, I'm sorry to come her like this, but I had to see you. I think you are the only one who can help me."
Snape held up a hand to stop her, then pointed his wand again at the concealed staircase door. There was a loud bang and a squeal, followed by the sound of Wormtail scurrying back up the stairs. 'Heh, hope it really hurt him,' said Venom darkly.
"My apologies," said Snape. "He has lately taken to listening at doors, I don't know what he means by it... You were saying, Narcissa?"
She took a great, shuddering breath and started again.
"Severus, I know I ought not to be here, I have been told to say nothing to anyone, but-"
"Then you ought to hold your tongue!" snarled Bellatrix. "Particularly in present company!"
"Present company?" repeated Snape sardonically. "And what am I to understand by that, Bellatrix?"
"That I don't trust you, Snape, as you very well know!" 'Wonder why she doesn't trust him,' mused Venom.
Naricissa let out a noise that might have been a dry sob and covered her face with her hands. Snape set his glass down upon the table and sat back again, his hands upon the arms of his chair, smiling into Bellatrix's glowering face.
"Narcissa, I think we ought to hear what Bellatrix is bursting to say; it will save tedious interruptions. Well, continue, Bellatrix," said Snape. "Why is it that you do not trust me?"
"A hundred reasons!" she said loudly, striding out from behind the sofa to slam her glass upon the table. "Where to start! Where were you when the Dark Lord fell? Why did you never make any attempt to find him when he vanished? What have you been doing all these years that you've lived in Dumbledore's pocket. Why did you stop the Dark Lord procuring the Sorcerer's Stone? Why did you not return at once when the Dark Lord was reborn? Where were you a few weeks ago when we battled to retrieve the prophecy for the Dark Lord? And why, Snape, is Harry Potter still alive, when you have had him at your mercy for five years?"
Venom was silent for a moment and mentally said,'Why do I get the feeling that Snape really is on Voldemort's side?'
She paused, her chest rising and falling rapidly, causing Venom to gag silently.
Snape smiled and said,"Before I answer you-oh yes, Bellatrix, I am going to answer! You can carry my words back to the other who whisper behind my back, and carry false tales of my treachery to the Dark Lord! Before I answer you, I say, let me ask a question in turn. Do you really think that the Dark Lord has not asked me each and every one of those questions? And do you really think that, had I not been able to give satisfactory answers, I would be sitting her talking to you?" 'That tears it, Snape is definitely on Voldemort's side!' said Venom.
Bellatrix hesitated and said,"I know he believes you, but..."
"You think he is mistaken? Or that I have somehow hoodwinked him? Fooled the Dark Lord, the greatest wizard, the most accomplished Legilimens the world has ever seen?"
Bellatrix said nothing, but looked, for the first time, a little discomfited. Snape did not press the point. He picked up his drink again, sipped it, and continued,"You ask where I was when the Dark Lord fell. I was where he had ordered me to be, at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, because he wished me to spy upon Albus Dumbledore. You know, I presume, that it was on the Dark Lord's orders that I took up the post?"
Bellatrix nodded almost imperceptibly and then opened her mouth, but Snape forestalled her.
"You ask why I did not attempt to find him when he vanished. For the same reason that Avery, Yaxley, the Carrows, Greyback, Lucius, and many others did not attempt to find him. I believe him finished. 'Too bad he wasn't.' growled Venom. "I am not proud of it, I was wrong but there it is... If he had not forgiven we who have lost faith at the time, he would have very few followers left." 'Probably would,' said Harry.
"He'd have me!" said Bellatrix passionately. "I, who spent many years in Azkaban for him!"
"Yes, indeed, most admirable," said Snape in a bored voice. "Of course, you weren't a lot of use to him in prison, but the gesture was undoubtedly fine-"
"Gesture!" she shrieked, looking slightly mad. "While I endured the dementors, you remained at Hogwarts, comfortably playing Dumbledore's pet!"
"Not quite," said Snape calmly. "He wouldn't give me the Defense Against the Dark Arts job, you know. Seemed to think it might, ah, bring about a relapse... tempt me into my old ways." 'So that's why Dumbledore never gave him the job,' said Harry.
"This was your sacrifice for the Dark Lord, not to teach your favorite subject?" Bellatrix jeered. "Why did you stay there all that time, Snape? Still spying on Dumbledore for a master you believe dead?"
"Hardly," said Snape, "although the Dark Lord is pleased that I never deserted my post: I had sixteen years of information on Dumbledore to give him when he returned, a rather more useful welcome-back present than endless reminiscences of how unpleasant Azkaban is..."
"But you stayed-"
"Yes, Bellatrix, I stayed," said Snape with a bit of impatience in his voice. "I had a comfortable job that I preferred to a stint in Azkaban. They were rounding up the Death Eaters you know. Dumbledore's protection kept me out of jail; it was most convenient and I used it. I repeat: The Dark Lord does not complain I stayed, so I do not see why you do. 'It's obvious. While you were enjoying yourself by torturing me at Hogwarts, she was stuck in Azkaban being driven loopy by the Dementors,' said Harry.
"I think you next wanted to know," he pressed on, a little more loudly, for Bellatrix showed every sign of interrupting, "why I stood between the Dark Lord and the Sorcerer's Stone. That is easily answered. He did not know whether he could trust me. 'I don't see how Dumbledore could have trusted you!' yelled Harry. "He thought, like you, that I turned from faithful Death Eater to Dumbledore's stooge." Venom had to supress a laugh at the word, "Dumbledore's stooge." "He was in a pitiable condition, very weak, sharing the body of a mediocre wizard. He did not dare reveal himself to a former ally if that alley might turn him over to Dumbledore or the Ministry. I deeply regret that he did not trust me, for he would have returned to power three years sooner." 'Oh merlin, no,' said Harry. "As it was, I saw only greedy and unworthy Quirrell attempting to steal the stone and, I admit, I did all I could to thwart him." 'Yeah, and it took three 1st years to stop when you couldn't, Snivellus!' thought Harry smugly.
Bellatrix leered at Snape and said,"But you didn't return when he came back, you didn't fly back to him at once when you felt the Dark Mark burn-"
"Correct. I returned two hours later. I returned on Dumbledore's orders." 'DUMBLEDORE'S ORDER?' Venom and Harry mentally screamed.
"On Dumbledore's-?" she bean, in a tone of outrage.
"Think!" said Snape, impatient again. "Think! By waiting two hours, just hours, I ensured that I could remain at Hogwarts as a spy! By allowing Dumbledore to think I was only returning to the Dark Lord's side because I was ordered to, I have been able to pass information on Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix ever since! Consider, Bellatrix: The Dark Mark had been stronger for months. I knew he must be about to return, all the Death Eaters knew! I had plenty of time to think about what I wanted to do, to plan my next move, to escape like Karkaroff, didn't I?"
"The Dark Lord's initial displeasure at my lateness vanished entirely, I assure you, when I explained that I remained faithful, although Dumbledore thought I was his man. Yes, the Dark Lord thought that I had left him forever, but he was wrong."'And Dumbledore was wrong and completely off his nut to ever trust you!' yelled Venom.
"Due to the fact that I'm getting exhausted from writing from writing this part, I'll flash forward this
Venom silently opened a window, crept over it, and closed it as he started making his way back to where he left those Death Eaters entangled in his webbing.
"I knew it all along," growled Harry. "He was a slimy git all this time, and Dumbledore believed it!"
"I say we go back in there and introduce them to my little friends, and Mr. Death!" yelled Venom.
"No," said Harry firmly. "We need to get revenge on them the best way possible, which means we might need to get a little help."
"Help? From who?" asked Venom.
"A good friend of mine with a furry little problem," said Harry.
"Ah, trying to convert Mooney back to his marauder ways then, are we?" said Venom with a tone of mischief.
"That's the plan," said Harry.
"Ew, what is gunk?" asked Nymphadora Tonks as she and the rest of the Order tried pulling the web off the Death Eaters as spells didn't seem to have much effect on the web.
"Hey, what's that?" asked Remus looking at a white piece of parchment attached to a Death Eater.
Tonks took it off and read it aloud,"They say that truth is good for the soul. These guys should have listened. Fix e'm up with a nice, comfy cell in Azkaban. Signed, Your Friendly Neighborhood, Venom."
Remus blinked and said,"Friendly neighborhood, Venom?"
"Hey, don't look at me, Venom was the one who came up with that last part!" said Harry who had gone uninvisible.
Ignoring the startled looks they gave him, Harry turned to Remus and said,"Mooney, I need to have a word with you."
