A/N: I am all done moving. Here is a chapter. Thank you to everyone for all of the support you guys have given me. It has helped me to become a better writer.

Dumbledore was pacing the floor of the Burrow. Since the Order Headquarters had been compromised the Weasley family offered their home.
Dumbledore couldn't figure out how Voldemort had gotten past the wards. He still didn't have a clue where Harry was being held, and now Remus had gone missing.
There was something going on here the Dumbledore didn't like at all. His whole plan was falling apart.
"Professor Dumbledore?" a voice called up the stairs, "Can you come down here? We are ready for you."
Dumbledore smiled. It was time to regroup and take the fight to Voldemort. He was going to gain back everything he lost, get back his weapon, and maybe even kill Voldemort by the end of the day.
With information they had gathered, he knew where Lucius Malfoy lived. Since he was Voldemort's right hand man, he knew that the Dark Lord would show up there if it was attacked.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~H.P.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Thank you for coming everyone. I have discovered the location of Lucius Malfoy's manor. It is time to finish this war. Tonight, we attack, find Harry Potter, and destroy Voldemort once and for all!" Dumbledore shouted.
Everyone in the room clapped. Some didn't look so sure. Others looked ecstatic.
"Hermione? Do you think we will really find Harry tonight? The Professor says we can't beat Voldemort without him." Ron whispered.
"I don't know, Ron. But I have a really bad feeling about this." She answered.

Harry and Tom were sitting in the study working on Harry's class work. Suddenly, Lucius Malfoy and his family burst through the door.
"What is the meaning of this?!" Tom exclaimed as he stood up.
"Forgive us, my Lord. Our home is under attack. We were barely able to escape out of our Floo in time."
"Who is attacking?" Harry asked.
Tom smirked. Harry was becoming quite the leader, strategist, duelist, and master of magic. He was very proud of the boy he had all but adopted.
Harry was a very willing student, and he had come far in the few months they had been together. Now Harry had began to attend some of the Death Eater meetings out of curiosity. At first, Tom didn't think it was such a good idea. But now Harry was learning a lot about politics, and what his organization was really like. Harry had begun to see magic was not good or evil. It just was. It all depended on what you did with it.
He had even contributed at some of the meetings. Tom over all couldn't be more pleased with Harry than he was now.
"Dumbledore and the Order." Replied Draco.
"I want to go." Harry said.
"Are you crazy?" Tom smirked.
"We have a Vow. I will not let you put yourself back into the middle of this war. You are also probably the very thing Dumbledore is trying to gain tonight. He has finally made a move." Tom said. "He wants me to come to the aid of the Malfoys. From there he probably believes that he can somehow find you and end me."
"End you?" Harry said. "I would never do that. Especially now, you have been better to me than the Light side has ever been. You have been a father to me." Harry started to cry. "I love you, Tom."
It seemed like everything in the room stopped at that declaration. Everyone stared in shock at Harry.
Tom was speechless. He had to try to hold back some unexpected tears of his own. He hadn't cried since he was a boy in the orphanage. But one simple phrase from a small black haired boy had broken something in him. Nobody had ever told him that they loved him before.
"Everyone but Harry leave the room this instant!" Tom said in a choked voice.
Harry just looked at Tom in fear. He didn't know if his outburst had made him mad or not.
"Harry, come here." Tom said.
Harry reluctantly walked over to Tom. Suddenly, Harry was wrapped up into a bone crushing hug. And he had what sounded like a crying Dark Lord hugging him.
"I love you too." Tom said, "Nobody is ever going to take you away from me, and nobody will hurt you ever again."
"It is for that reason, that I am not letting you go anywhere near Dumbledore. I want you here where you will be safe."
"Is Sirius going?" Harry asked.
"Yes, I believe that he is." Tom replied.
Tom just smiled at Harry. He didn't know what else to say to the boy, he'd never been very good with words.
"Why don't you go take Draco up to your room for a bit? I have to get the Death Eaters together, and we have a crazy man to get rid of." Tom said with a smile.
"Okay." Harry said reluctantly.
Tom had said he loved him, and he was going to keep him safe. For the first time in his life, Harry actually believed it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~H.P.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"How much longer are we going to keep doing this?" A member of the Order asked Dumbledore
"We will keep going until we have Harry."
"I am afraid that you will be disappointed." A voice hissed behind them.
Dumbledore and the Order all turned around to Voldemort and more Death Eaters than they could count.
"I am afraid that Mr. Potter has homework to finish." Tom said with a smirk. "So he will not be joining us this evening."
Dumbledore was hesitating. He didn't know if he should attack or flee. There were more Death Eaters here then he knew even existed.
Dumbledore yelled, "Attack!" But none of the Order moved.
So he went at Voldemort himself. Tom just cast a powerful Stupefy and Levicorpus onto Dumbledore and just looked at him. The Death Eaters all laughed at this feeble attempt. The Order looked nervous.
"Don't make me hurt you, Albus." Tom said. "Just give up now, and only you will die."
"I will never give up! What have you done with my weapon?!" He shouted.
Tom didn't even answer Dumbledore this time. He looked out over at the Order.
"I am going to call a list of names. When you hear your name, please come forward and you shall be spared." Tom called.
With that, the contract that he and Harry had made when they took the Vow dropped into his hand from nowhere.
Tom began to read the list. The Order members nervously stepped forward. They didn't know if they were being singled out for execution. When the last name was called Tom looked over to make sure they were all there.
"I made a Vow to Harry Potter that you would not be killed." Tom said. "So instead, you will be taken to my dungeons to be held until I can deal with you all."
The group of people all had looks of relief, disbelief, and horror all over their faces.
"I need someone I can trust, and that you trust, as well to take you to my Manor. Mr. Black, would you be so kind?"
Everyone gasped in shock and gaped as Sirius Black took off a mask, and stepped out from a group of Death Eaters.
"Sirius! You betrayed us!" Someone shouted.
"Mr. Black does not bear the Dark Mark, nor has he betrayed anyone. He is with me through a Vow as well."
The Order was silent then as Sirius lifted his sleeve to prove what Voldemort had just said. With that the group went with him in silence to the Manor.
"As for the rest of you. I have made no such promise to spare you, so either surrender now or die." Tom said.
Everyone put their wands down and put their hands up. Dumbledore was still caught in Voldemort's magic.
Tom ordered his Death Eaters to take the Order to the Dungeons at their alternate location. Tom himself took Dumbledore with him. He wanted Harry, Sirius, and Severus to help him end Albus Dumbledore.
He especially wanted Harry to get a chance. So with a bit of glee, he apparated with Dumbledore in tow back to Riddle Manor.

A/N: Sorry this chapter is kind of short, vague, and even a bit weird. I liked it a lot, but it's also a filler. I haven't written in a long time, and with all that's going on I wanted to give you all something. I hoped you enjoyed a bit of my quirkiness. Please review, if it's too confusing I can edit this chapter.
