Chapter 5: Once supposed enemy.

Dumbledore stared at the message, looking at his dead brother. This was getting out of hand and quick. Dumbledore just didn't know what to do. Harry was turning dark, Voldemort was getting more powerful by the minute, and he had someone killing everybody on the light side.

" Why is this person killing? Is there something I am missing? Yes, I am missing something. But what is that something?" Dumbledore muttered, walking back to Hogwarts.

Harry's PoV

Two Days before Christmas.

I woke up with my head on Draco's chest and Blaise sleeping on my back. I waited for a few seconds and then got up without disturbing the other two. There were only two days before Christmas and I wanted to get something for my friends. Leaving a note stating what I was doing, I left for the Underworld. Though, this time it wasn't for another mission.

The Underworld could be a very confusing place to a stranger. From Dark Wizards to demons. The place itself was like a dream hell. The was no sun, only darkness. Night clubs with their neon signs. Blood blanks and prostitution rings. Assassins always came here to meet. Rare jewel shops and weapon plazas. Rhodes and Aiden had always figured that the light wouldn't come here.

The first time I stepped foot in here, I was so lost. Aiden not only had a business in the Underworld, his manor resides here. He taught me many things and never gave up on me. He showed me what love could be, and sex wasn't all about pain.

Walking into one of the rare jewel shops, I went to work. I had a list of people I needed to get a gift for.

Tom
Draco
Blaise
Lucius
Aiden
Ginny
Pansy
Severus

Not a long list.

)))()&)&()&(&()&)&(&)

Christmas day.

Lucius, Severus, Harry, Draco, Blaise, Aiden, and Tom set down in the living room. Just about everybody was nervous.

" Alright, I'll start." Aiden said, standing up and gave the first gift to Lucius. The gift was a long silver sword. The magic within a person was what powered it. The stronger the person's magic, the stronger the sword. Lucius quickly thanked him, and Aiden continued.

Next was Draco. It was book, the title ' Lessons on how not to over react to things', Blaise got the same thing. That had started some laughter and warm smiles.

Severus was next. Aiden had found some Water Demon's blood, along with a black Unicorn's blood. Black Unicorns were the rarest things in any world. You're more likely to see Snape wearing a pink dress, with heels, lipstick and eye-shadow, then a black unicorn. To say the least, Severus was happy.

Tom was next. A solid black necklace. The necklace had a blood-red jewel in the center. Only a strong vampire could have created it. The necklace itself protected the wearer and his lover or lovers. It would aid a person in battle too, along with healing abilities. Great when there is war going on.

Harry was next. Aiden had told his Childe to stand up. He stood, waiting. Aiden took off his own necklace.

" I've waited since my own Sire gave me this, to give to my own Childe. It's past down before even Merlin's great grandparents were born. Not only will this make it easy for you to get to me, it'll give an alert out. The alert will tell me, and a few others, that you are in danger." Aiden said, as he slid the silver metal chain over Harry's head, letting the chain rest on the young boy's chest.

In the traditions of vampires. A Sire would give his Childe his necklace as saying that the Childe has made him proud. Also, for some, it's a way of stating that he is also family. In a way, it's was priceless gift.

Next was Tom's turn. He gave Lucius a book, who, being the meany he is, wouldn't tell the others what the book was about. Severus got a rare potions book; Draco got a ferret, Blaise a jeweled dagger, Aiden got a book that the he had wanted. He gave Harry a rare two-headed snake. The snake's skin was a dark green, almost black. The snakes had told Harry to call them Twins. Harry agreed, and let them go, to find something to eat.

Severus was the next on to hand out gifts. He told Lucius that he would get his gift later, making the others wonder if something was going on with the two. Severus gave his godson a Wish potion. The potion would grant three wishes. Draco thanked him, and put the potion on the table. Blaise was given a potions book, Tom was given two healing potions. Aiden and Harry were given two each, blood potions.

" Should you two be in battle and low on blood, these potions will help. They're not as good as real blood, but it'll get you through the battle." Sev explained.

" Thanks." Aiden and Harry said.

Draco stood up next. Lucius was given a new cane, Severus another rare potions book, Aiden and Tom both got blades. Harry and Blaise were given communicate necklaces. Draco had one of his own. The necklaces would allow Draco, Blaise, and Harry to talk to each other if they were separated, and no one would be able to understand them. Harry's necklace was of a dark green snake, and Blaise's a silver sword.

Blaise handed out his gifts soon after, then Lucius.

[ I didn't have clue what Blaise or Lucius should of got for the others so use your imagination, sorry]

It was Harry's turn. Harry gave Blaise and Draco blood blades. The blades were made out of Harry's blood, giving both of them protection from simple hexes and curses. It would also give them shields in battle should either need them. Severus was given a notebook of rare potions from Salazar Slytherin himself. Lucius was given a wrist communicator and Aiden was given a ring. A Potter's ring. The ring would make Aiden part of Harry's growing family, just like Aiden's necklace did. Harry turned to Tom.

" You will receive your gift after dinner, in private." Was all he said.

Soon it was dinner. Everyone from the inner circle and their heirs were there. The dinner lasted over an hour.

(((((&(((&(&((((((((((((

Harry's PoV.

After a hour long dinner, Tom had told me to meet him in his chambers for me to give him is gift. I had told Draco and Blaise what I was going to give him, and they had told what would happen after I do. I was a little shocked at what would happen, but thankfully, Draco and Blaise gave me the go ahead, understanding that it was just the part of the test. Though, they also knew that they shouldn't complain either. After all, they did hurt me after all.

So now, I'm standing by a window in Tom's chambers.

" So, what is this gift that you had to give me in private?" A curious Tom asked.

I smirked, turning my attention to him. " You know that war is soon approaching."

" Yes, Dumbledore will never know what hit him. Why?"

" You wish to have me by your side in the war, don't you?" I asked, looking directly at his eyes.

Tom nodded, " Yes, that would be nice. You are powerful Harry, and after some more training, you could become stronger than me. To have someone like that on my side would be an honor. What is this all about?"

I sighed, and looked back at the window. It was snowing and the moon was full, poor Remus. " I'm giving you my loyalty. I'll fight at your side, but I shall never kneel to you. That is one thing you'll need to understand. I kneel to no one." I said, finally looking at Tom again.

There was some shock in his eyes, but there was a smirk on his face.

" I'll accept, but we would have to have sex for me to able to mark you."

" I know, I told Draco and Blaise about this already and they told me about what would happen. Lucius must of told them about this. You've slept with all of your inner circle to test them. If they had hesitated then they wasn't as loyal as the others and could've been a spy. If they were truly loyal, then they would say yes in a heartbeat. A very good way to test you followers." I said, accepting what was going to happen. Stepping back from the window, I made my way to the man in front of me.

He was leaning on the railing of the bed, smirking. There was a strange beating in my heart as a continued my journey. I have only felt this once, when me and Draco had sex for the first time. It was a weird feeling, something akin to the way muggles would say they had butterflies in their stomach. I just shook it off.

When close enough, Tom brought on of his arms around my waist and closer to his chest. He lifted up my chin and kissed me. He actions were both rough yet somehow soft. Like he wanted this so badly that he couldn't wait, but also wanted to make sure I'll enjoy this. I had to smirk at this. Ah, yes, he was the last pair of eyes that had been watching me that night.

Soon, our tongues were fighting for dominance, and somehow we were lying on the bed. Tom, of course won the game and started to nip my neck, around the bite mark. I moaned and arched into his touch. Around my bite mark was were my skin was most sensitive. Tom must have figured that out, since he seemed to be smirking.

He lifted his face to look at my face, asking if I was sure to continue this. I answered by taking his shirt off, and lifting my eyebrow. Amusement met his eyes, as he took my shirt off and was working on my pants. I was growing very impatient by the minute, so wandlessly, I spelled the rest of our clothes off. This time, the Dark Lord chuckled, as I moved to recapture his lips.

" Impatient aren't we, mon petite." Tom said, torturing me with his kisses. I didn't know what is was about Tom, but whatever it was, it was great. His touches were like fire on my body, making me yearn for his touch.

I fisted Tom's hair, and pulled him for a long passionate kiss. Tom moaned, slipping his tongue into my craven of flesh. Eventually, though, we had to come up for air. Though, soon I was gasping as pure pleasure assaulted my body. Tom's fingers ruthlessly massaging my prostate.

" Tom...please. Need. You. NOW!" I finally yelled out breathlessly.

Tom chuckled, removing his fingers out of me. " All you had to do was ask , mon petite."

Soon, I was filled with something much bigger then Tom's fingers. I arched off the bed, moaning like a bitch in heat.

" H..harder." I barely was able to whisper, pleasure rolling off of me in waves.

Complying to my wishes, Tom took me hard and fast. A couple of minutes later I was shouting my release, bringing the Dark Lord over the edge with me.

" Sleep, mon petite." Was all I heard before I fell asleep, my once supposed enemy holding me in his arms.

Harry woke up the next morning with conflicting thoughts. Last night had been good, almost too good. His body was still craving for Tom's touch, and he didn't know why. He had just gotten back together with Draco and Blaise, and now here he was thinking of having sex with another man.

Great, as if my life couldn't get any worse Harry thought sarcastically. Then he shook his head. Tom probably only lusted after him, making it easier to decide who to stay with. He should stay with those who can now accept who he is and love him. And only two people fit that description, for lovers that is. Draco and Blaise. Harry couldn't believe that he had just thought of staying with Tom. The Dark Lord would only want his body, not his soul, and defiantly not his heart.

Sighing, Harry stood up, magically put on his clothes and exited the Dark Lord's bedroom. He quietly entered his bedroom, trying not to disturb his lovers, and entered the marble bathroom. Magically taking his clothes off, he turned on the shower and let the water fall on his back and into the drain. He looked at his left arm, noticing that he know carried the Inner Circle mark. There was a difference between the Inner Circle mark and the Dark Mark. Tom used the Dark Mark on those who weren't in the inner circle and used the Inner Circle mark for his most trusted. The Inner Circle mark had a black snake with ruby colored eyes, eating its own tail. In the center of the circling snake was an old traditional Chinese symbol for higher in black outlining and red coloring.

Quickly getting out of the shower, Harry sat on the edge of his bed, looking at his to curled up lovers. Harry knew they were both naked under the sheets, with the covers only going to their waists. Draco's hair had fallen into his face, a light flush to his cheeks and his lips slightly parted. To Harry, Draco looked like an angel. An angel that Harry just knew he didn't deserve, yet, Draco wasn't willing to let him go. Blaise had spooned Draco to his side, letting his dark brown hair fall on Draco's shoulder. His golden tanned skin glowing in the morning light. He was Draco's and Harry's Dark Night. Just like Draco, Blaise was hell bent on keeping Harry in his arms. This just made things worse for Harry. He had two people who loved him right in front of him, yet he was still craving someone else's touch, warmth.

Why, why must things get so complicated? Harry asked himself. Shaking his head, he placed soft chaste kisses on his two lovers and finished getting ready for his long day.

Shortly after that, Harry went off in search of his next victim.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

It was later in the day, after the killing, that Harry went to his Sire's house. He needed to talk to someone who would listen. Harry could only think of two people who would listen. Severus and Aiden. Harry decided to go to Aiden this time.

Aiden was sitting in his den when Harry arrived, reading a book. He immediately put his book down, sensing Harry's need to talk.

" What is wrong, Harry." Aiden asked, praying it didn't have to do with Draco and Blaise. Harry couldn't take much more heartache before he crumbled, and Aiden knew that.

" I...I'm not sure where to begin." Harry said, his voice low and soft. He sat down next to his Sire.

" Well, start where ever you want to." Aiden said, pulling the boy onto his lap. He calmly waited for Harry to start.

" I don't deserve them. Damn it, I don't deserve them!" Harry suddenly started.

" Don't deserve who?" Aiden asked softly, pulling the boy closer to him.

" Draco and Blaise. I don't deserve them. They deserve someone better! I'm just stupid worthless tainted..." Harry was never able to finished his babbling, for he was slapped across his face. His eyes went wide and his jaw dropped in shocked.

Aiden quickly brought the boy to his chest, hugging him closely. " Sorry, Harry, but you are not worthless, stupid, nor tainted. What brought on this sudden change. I thought everything was going smoothly."

" It was 'til I had sex with Tom." Harry muttered, but Aiden heard it and chuckled.

" Oh, Harry. You're bound to have some feelings for the person you sleep with."

" Some? My skin practically burned at his touch. I wanted more and still want more, but I shouldn't. I have Draco and Blaise. I feel like I cheated on them!" Harry all but shouted.

Aiden shook his head. " Harry, your almost bonded with Tom. Did you forget your scar? Did you forget that a part of him rests in your body. Look, you didn't cheat on Draco and Blaise. You can't help but feel something for Tom."

Harry looked at his Sire and knew he was right, but that didn't stop what he was feeling.

" Aiden, I... I think I'm in love with him." Harry barely said, his voice soft and broken.

His sire stared at him, his eyes filled with understanding.

" But that is not all. I care very deeply for Draco and Blaise, almost to the point where I'm in love with them too! How can I be in love with three different people, how!?"

Aiden sighed, he should have told the boy sooner.

" Harry, you're a vampire. There are some vampires that are destined for more than one lover. Now, I know that you already have two lovers. Some vampire have up to ten lovers. Harry, you grew up with a family who hated you. Who never showed you what love was. Then you was thrust into a world you had no clue about. Your life, for the most part, was nothing but lies and hate. The love people gave you was fake. Now, though, your surrounded with people who love you, who care for you. I knew from the beginning that you was destined to have more than two lovers. I want you to talk to Draco and Blaise about his. I'll deal with Tom, alright?"

Harry studied his sire. He was destined to have more than two lovers. Destined to be loved, even after everything he went through. This entire time, Harry thought he was destined to live alone. Tears rushed down his face, but he didn't care. He had a family, he had people who loved and cared for him. Why? What was the point of loving someone like him. Aiden wiped away his Childe's tears and rubbed his back, hoping to help the boy.

" I'll talk to Draco and Blaise." Harry whispered. " Thank you."

Aiden smiled. " No problem. You know you can always come to me to talk about anything. Don't forget that."

" I won't."

Harry left his Sire's arms after a few more minutes of silence. He needed to talk to his lovers.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Harry laid on his bed, waiting for Draco to finish his bath. Blaise was sitting next to him, studying him. Harry knew that both of his lovers knew something was wrong and they were concerned.

Draco finished his shower and slid into the bed behind Harry, wrapping his arms around the green-eyed boy.

" Alright, talk. We know something is on your mind." Blaise said, breaking the peaceful silence.

" I'm in love with Tom." Harry spoke softly, unsure if things would go like planned.

Draco tensed and Blaise's eyes demanded an explanation.

" I'm also in love with you two." Harry said just as softly as before and relief flooded through him as Draco relaxed. Blaise's eyebrow rose but his eyes were soft and caring.

" I don't think you can have all three of us." Draco said softly.

Harry sighed, " If you want to break up, I understand. I can't ask you to love me when I love another man."

" Harry." Blaise sharpened tone broke Harry from his train of thought. " That is not what Draco is trying to say."

" Blaise is right. Tom doesn't share his lovers. Have you spoke about this to Tom?"

Harry shook his head. " No, Aiden said to speak to you and he'll speak to Tom."

" Alright, well then, let's get some dinner." Draco said, hoping out of the bed, smiling. Harry laughed at Draco and Blaise shook his head.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Aiden stood in front of the working Dark Lord. Tom was currently sitting at his desk, working on some papers.

" Tom, what are feelings towards Harry?" Aiden asked, breaking the silence.

Tom leaned back in chair, a little surprised at the question. In truth, Tom didn't have a clue what he felt to the boy. When he woke up to an empty bed, Tom was disappointed and maybe a little hurt. But Tom couldn't figure out why. Harry already had two lovers, Tom knew that, so why did he feel the way he felt.

" Why?" Tom finally asked.

Aiden sighed. He truly didn't want to tell Tom that his Childe loved him, if he didn't know how Tom felt about his Childe.

" Whatever your feelings are to him, if your feelings aren't the same as his, just forget anything that I said."

" Alright." Tom agreed, a little taken back on how Aiden was acting. The Prince of Vampires were unsure of himself, that wasn't an everyday thing.

" Harry is in love with Draco and Blaise, but he is also in love with you."

Tom blinked and blinked again. " Why? Why would Harry return my feelings after all the misery I've caused him. I killed his parents and have tried to kill him numerous occasions. I killed his friend and almost made him lose his godfather. Why would he even think about loving me?"

Aiden chuckled. " Simple Tom. Harry isn't the boy-who-lived or anyone else besides Harry Potter. When I gave him a choice to either live or die, he was reborn into something else. He no longer holds the hate Albus had put on him. He no longer hates a man who did the things he did as an act of war. There is only two people who Harry truly hates. Wormtail for betraying his parents; and Albus for manipulating him. I'm guessing you're in love with Harry also?"

Tom nodded.

" Well then, there is one important thing you need to know about Harry. He is destined to have more than two lovers. So, you can't be all possessive of him, 'cause you're going to have share with at least two more people, if not more."

" I understand." Tom said, and he really did. Harry never knew what love was before now, so it was only natural for him to fall in love with more than one person.

" Good. I will let myself out." Aiden said, walking out of the room. He knew Harry would be taken care of if anything ever happened to him.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

" Albus, what are we going to do? Innocent Killer is lowering our numbers. It doesn't matter how many people travel in a group, he is still somehow able to kill us. And what about Harry? He's sleeping with two Slytherins." McGonagall asked, concerned about all that was happening.

" I have no clue what to do about Innocent Killer, but Harry is a different matter. I know exactly what to do. Once the boy returns from the holidays, I'll ban him from hanging out with any and all Slytherins." Albus Dumbledore stated, looking at all the members of the order.

Severus Snape silently seethed. No way was he going to let him break Harry any more then he already as. He knew immediately that, Harry Potter would no longer be a student at Hogwarts. Severus also knew, as soon as he could, he would leave also. But for now, he would spy on Albus Dumbledore.

" Severus, my boy, any news on what Voldemort is doing?" Albus asked, his blue eyes sparkling.

The Potion Master sneered. " No, he isn't letting any of his followers know what is happening 'til the last minute. I think he is suspicious that there is a spy among his Death Eaters."

Some of the order members gasped, startled at the news. It wasn't entirely a lie. Tom was suspicious that Wormtail was a spy and he wasn't letting Wormtail in any of the meetings.

" That is bad news, my boy, but we must do whatever we can. We can't let someone like Voldemort win this war."

Everybody but Severus agreed.
