Disclaimer: I own nothing. If I did Harry Potter would have ended WAY differently.

A/N: Hey everyone. Sorry it took me so long to update. I have been busy. Hopefully it was worth the wait. Here is chapter 5.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~H.P.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was about 6pm now. Harry was sitting on his bed waiting for someone to come get him for dinner. The house elf that helped him get ready told him to wait.

Harry was staring out his window when he heard the knock on the door.

"Harry?" "It's time for supper." A voice on the other side of the door called.

Harry opened the door and there stood Voldemort. He was wearing a charcoal suit, with a beautiful royal blue robe that had silver trimming on it.

Harry himself was dressed in a suit.

"Harry, tonight I am having some of my Death Eaters over for supper." Voldemort said, "I expect you to be on your best behavior is that understood?"

"Yes, sir." Harry replied.

While they were walking down the hall Harry finally worked up the courage to ask Voldemort something he had been wondering since they were in Surrey.

"Ummm… Sir?" Harry asked.

"Yes, Harry?"

"Why don't you look like a snake anymore?"

Voldemort just chuckled.

"You see Harry, those are just glamours. I use them when I am around any of my lower followers or in battle."

"Why would you do that?" Harry wanted to know.

"Because then when I want to go out in public, muggles and most wizards will not recognize me."

"Oh." Was all Harry could think to reply with.

"Alright, that's enough questions for now. We are at the dining room." Voldemort chuckled again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~H.P.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They entered the dinning room, and everyone turned toward the door. Harry noticed that everyone was standing.

"Everyone," Voldemort said. "As you all know, This is Harry Potter. He has wisely decided to drop out from this war."

Everyone just kind of stared at Voldemort before they all started talking at once.

"SILENCE!" Voldemort shouted.

Once quiet had once again fallen over the crowd. Voldemort finished.

"He is now going to be my pupil. And if any of you dares to lay a finger on him, you will receive the Cruicatus curse within an inch of your life. Then you will be locked up in my dungeons for a month with my dementors."

"Now does anyone have any more questions, or anything further to say?" Silence was in the room. "Wonderful, now lets eat."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~H.P.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Harry sat on Voldemort's left, while Snape and the Malfoys were on the right.

Throughout the entire meal there was silence. Though all the Death Eaters continued to stare at Harry until the meal was over.

"Harry." Voldemort said

"Yes, sir?" Harry answered.

"Why don't you go into the other room, with the other young people." "We are going to have a meeting, and I don't think you want to be here for that."

"Okay… Sir" Harry added at the last second.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~H.P.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Harry walked into the other room. When he got there he was shocked to see a lot of the Slytherins from Hogwarts there.

Malfoy, Zabini, and Parkinson all looked up from their conversation when he came in.

"What in the bloody hell is this?" Malfoy said loudly

"What in the world is Potter doing here?" Other of them said.

"Ummmm… Hi." Was the only thing Harry could think of to say.

By this point Malfoy was on his feet standing in front of Potter with his entourage behind him.

"Just how did you get in here, Potter?"

"I decided I didn't want to fight in the war anymore. And now Voldemort is my teacher." "I am to live here with him, and learn from him." Harry said in a hurry.

All the Slytherins just looked at him dumbstruck.

Malfoy called one of the houseleves to ask it. When it confirmed what Harry said, most Slytherins sat down in shock, or they stared, or they just shook their heads in disbelief.

"So, you are telling me you are on our side now?" Malfoy questioned.

"Well, no." Harry said, "It's more like I am neutral, and I made a deal with Voldemort."

"Oh." Was all that anybody could say.

"So now that you are here, and you are no longer the bloody savior. Why don't we have a little chat." Zabini said.

So Harry sat down with the Slytherins, and surprisingly they were very polite to him. Harry even found out he had quite a bit in common with Draco, as he insisted on being called.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~H.P.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Harry and the Slytherins that seemed to have befriended him were still talking amicably when the adults came into the room.

Voldemort looked pleasantly surprised, and quite pleased with the scene that greeted him.

"Hello children." Voldemort said. "I see you have met my new pupil."

"Yes, my lord." "We were just getting to know one another better. Seeing as the houses at Hogwarts did not previously allow such camaraderie between us."

Draco was the first one to speak up.

"Wonderful." Voldemort said. "I am so glad you all are getting along." "Now I think it is time we all had dessert."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~H.P.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As the Death Eaters started filing in, Harry caught sight of the last person he wanted to see.

It had been hard enough having to be in the same room as her during supper. But when he saw her laughing with her sister, and patting her nephew on the head. Something snapped in him.

It was Bellatrix LeStrange.

"BELLATRIX!" Harry shouted.

She turned to Harry. Before she even had a chance to react. Harry had shouted "Crucio!"

She went down screaming and writhing around on the floor. Harry held it for several seconds before the tears started.

Silence ruled in the parlor. All that could be heard was the sound of Bellatrix's labored breathing. And the sobs coming from Harry.

"My lord." Lucius Malfoy said. "I do believe that you have made the right choice in making Potter your pupil." "I have never seen one so young be able to cast an Unforgiveable so successfully."

"Yes Lucius, I do believe you are correct." Voldemort answered while contemplating the sight he had just witnessed.

"Harry, come here." Voldemort ordered.

Harry walked over fearing what was about to come.

"Why did you attack Bellatrix unprovoked?" He questioned.

"She killed Sirus, my godfather." Harry said quietly.

"Sirius Black?"

"Yes, sir." Harry replied beginning to get a hold of himself.

"Sirius was the closest thing to family I ever had. And the only one that ever loved me. He was going to take me away from the Durselys, and we were going to be a family."

"Really?" Voldemort asked.

"Yes! And SHE took him away from me!" Harry shouted "She deserves to be Crucioed and so much more for what she did to Sirius!"

"Hmmm.." Voldemort said. "Is this true Bellatrix?" He said turning to her.

"It is, my lord." She replied looking at the floor.

"Well then, justice has been served I see no need for further action. Don't you agree?"

"Yes, my lord." Bellatrix answered.

"Very well. Let's have dessert now. It is getting late, and we don't want the children to be up too late."

The house elves brought in the dessert. Ironically it was the same kind of Devil's food cake Harry had served to Voldemort when he was at the Dursley's. Only this time, Harry actually got to enjoy a nice big piece of it.

He had been looking cautiously around the room at everyone since the incident with Bellatrix.

Nobody seemed to be bothered, except Bellatrix was now keeping her distance from Harry.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~H.P.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While everyone was finishing their dessert Draco came to sit next to Harry.

"I'm sorry for what my aunt did, Harry. I had no idea." Draco said.

"Thanks, but it wasn't your fault." Harry replied.

"Still." "Well now that you are going to be around now when we come to meetings, I know it might get kind of lonely for you." Draco mumbled.

"So I was wondering if maybe you wanted to start over and try to maybe be friends. I mean I know that I was a jerk to you in school, and I know that you hated me but-

"Sure, Draco." Harry cut him off. "I will be your friend."

"You will?" Draco asked.

"Sure, everyone should get another chance right?"

"Um, yeah right." Draco answered.

"But since when do you say that?" "From the way you cursed my aunt earlier, I wouldn't think that would be your thoughts."

"What happened with your aunt is… complicated." Harry said. "Let's just say she had it coming. It was from that night in the Department of Mysteries."

"Okay?" Draco said. "So friends?" Draco asked holding out his hand.

It was like a replay of the night so many years ago his first time at Hogwarts. Expect this time Harry took Draco Malfoy's hand.

"Friends." Harry said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~H.P.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While all this was going on neither boy noticed that the Dark Lord was watching them. He smiled and thought. "This is even better than I could have planned for."

A/N: Well there you have it, Chapter 5. Let me know what you think so. Leave a review.
