Disclaimer: I own nothing.
A/N: Here it is! After all the ideas I received (thank you btw) I have finally gotten the inspiration I needed. Big thanks to noirekitsune. I received the final push from them, I needed to write this chapter. I hope you all enjoy. It took me a really long time to form this idea.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~H.P.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harry and Draco were in the Sitting Room with several of the other Death Eater's children talking. Through the window several of them were watching to see what was going to happen after the attack at the Malfoy's home.
"Look everyone they have a bunch of people from the Order!" Pansy said when she noticed several Death Eaters portkey in.
Everyone got up really fast and looked out the window. Harry went up to the back of the crowd. Blaise and Draco made everyone move so Harry could get a good look.
With strange relief Harry saw it was a small group of people that didn't look harmed in any way. When he looked again he realized this small group was his friends. The ones he and Tom had agreed would not be killed. Harry smiled to himself knowing that Tom had kept his word and his friends would be spared.
All Harry had to do was convince this small group of people that Tom meant no harm to them if they would surrender and live peacefully under the new rule.
Just as Harry was trying to figure out how to do this a loud crack of an apparation sounded from the main foyer of the Manor.
"What was that?" Draco questioned.
"I think it was the Dark Lord." Harry said, "He is the only one who can apparate past the wards on the Manor."
"Come on, let's go see what is happening." Harry said to Draco and Blaise.
Pansy looked a bit nervous at the thought of spying on the Dark Lord, so Harry hadn't even bothered asking her. He hadn't forgotten how freaked out she got at the suggestion to explore the Manor.
"I don't think that is such a good idea." Blaise said.
"I do! Let's go!" Draco said to Harry.
So Harry and Draco snuck out to see what was going on.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~H.P.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harry and Draco heard muffled yelling and cursing. When Harry peeked around the corner he saw that Dumbledore was floating behind Tom. He was trapped inside some kind of magical, glowing bubble.
Tom was speaking with Severus, and Dumbledore looked furious. As Draco tried to look around the corner too, he ran into a statue and it fell and broke loudly in the quiet hallway.
Tom just smirked.
"You may come out and join us Harry and Draco if you wish. But for Merlin's sake stop poking around corners."
Draco actually squealed at being caught. Harry just laughed and walked out to join Tom.
"Hello Tom and Severus." Harry said as he gave each of them a hug.
Draco came walking up slowly behind them watching the scene with curiosity. He had heard the house elves who had been spying on the Dark Lord earlier talk of how he had cried and hugged Harry earlier. He had proclaimed that he loved the boy.
"Hello Harry. Why are you spying on us?" Tom made a meaningful look towards Dumbledore.
"I heard you return and wanted to see what was going on." Harry said as he noticed Dumbledore was giving him an evil glare.
"As you can see Harry, I have brought you, Severus, and Sirius home a present to play with."
Draco paled at this, but to his surprise Harry actually looked kind of excited.
"What do you mean play with?" Harry asked.
"You will have to wait and see. Come along Severus we have other guests to attend to."
"Harry, come with me as well. I have a feeling that these guests will only listen to you."
After saying this, Tom gave the floating bubble over to Bellatrix and some of his other most trusted Death Eaters. They put Dumbledore into his special cell, until he could be dealt with by the Dark Lord.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~H.P.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There was quiet chatter coming from the dungeons below. Harry heard it and moved nervously as he came down the stairs.
"Everyone quiet down!" Harry heard Sirius shout.
Apparently, all that had been happening was question after question being thrown at Sirius. To his credit, Sirius refused to answer anything.
It all got quiet as everyone turned to see Voldemort, Harry, and Snape come down the steps.
"Hello all, and welcome to my Manor." Tom said. "I am sure you all remember what was said at the Malfoy's home?"
When there was a general nod from the group, Tom continued.
"I have asked Harry come to speak to you. He will explain what is going on, and what will be expected of you, if you wish to ever leave this dungeon. I have agreed to not kill any of you, but imprisonment was not a part of Mr. Potter's and mine agreement."
With that Tom turned it over to Harry, and then he stepped aside.
Harry outlined the terms of surrender, the homes they would be provided, the monitoring of each person, and what freedoms they would receive.
What Harry also made clear was that if they refused this one time offer, they would spend the rest of their lives in the cells behind them.
The Weasleys, Neville, Luna, Tonks, and Hermione listened intently at what Harry was saying. In all honesty, the surrender was actually a very fair deal. They would only have monitoring spells put onto their person, and an occasional check-in with their assigned Probation Officer.
Otherwise, they were going to be allowed to live peacefully if they became neutral, and took a Vow to never try to interfere in the politics or start another war.
It took a few minutes for everyone to talk amongst themselves. Once it appeared that they had all come to a decision, it was unanimously decided that they would agree to the terms.
Harry smiled with relief. Everyone he loved was going to be spared.
Harry heard his named shouted. He turned around and was immediately pounced on by Hermione and Ron. They hugged him really tight.
"Mate! We thought we were never going to see you again!" Ron said.
"Have you been treated alright?" Hermione asked.
"Of course, you guys."
Harry than went on to tell them about everything that had happened since Tom had showed up at Number 4 Privet Drive.
Tom stood with Severus, and Sirius who had joined them as soon as Harry took over the talking.
"He really is turning out to be a great wizard and man." Sirius said
"Yes. My lord, you should be quite proud." Severus agreed.
"I am more than proud. I am going to make him my son. I love Harry, and you all have helped to shape who he is now." Tom said. "You are as much his family as I. I hope you both will stay and continue to be a part of our family."
"I never plan to leave Harry again." Sirius stated.
"It would be an honor, my lord." Severus said formally.
"Enough of that Severus, you shall also call me Tom. To Harry you have become an uncle, that makes you like a brother to me. The same goes for you, Sirius. Is that clear?"
"Yes, Tom." Sirius said with a smirk.
"Yes, my lo- Tom." Severus said with hesitation.
"Wonderful." Tom said.
With that all three turned to watch Harry conclude his tale to his friends.
Tom called Harry to come, and the Death Eaters that would be taking care of the arrangements came in.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~H.P.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once they got upstairs Tom pulled Harry aside.
"I have put Dumbledore into a special cell. Are you ready to face him?" Tom asked
"I have never been more ready for anything in my life." Harry said eagerly.
"Shall we go then?" Tom said to the three people with him.
Then they all went down to where the chamber where the Veil had been held.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~H.P.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The chamber had been turned into a cell specially made to dampen Dumbledore's magic. He was also being held in place my magic inhibiting manacles.
"Now boys, here is your present." Tom said
"You may curse him any way you like, but do not kill him." Tom ordered. "I have other plans for his death."
"Yes, sir!" Harry agreed.
Harry than promptly cast a rather long and powerful Crucio at Dumbledore. The sounds of his shrieks of agony bounced off of the chamber walls.
Harry laughed with glee and cast Sectumsempra too.
Tom smiled as he watched. He hadn't expected Harry to start out so cruelly. Apparently, he was rubbing off on the boy a bit. It also became apparent he had spent too much time in Bellatrix's presence.
"Let me have a turn now, Harry." Severus ordered.
Severus quickly stopped Dumbledore's bleeding so he wouldn't die. He then proceeded to do a nasty series of curses that Harry had just begun to study in his Dark Arts classes.
Dumbledore continued to shriek until he had no voice left. He passed out. Sirius quickly revived him.
"Did you really think we would let you have a break?" Sirius asked.
Sirius than began to cast dark curses of his own. With each curse he took out his frustration and told Dumbledore why he deserved each curse. Harry and Severus had been too angry and eager to say anything to the old man.
"This is for lying to me."
"This is for hurting Harry."
"This is for Lily and James."
"And these are for everything else you have done."
By the time they had finished working Dumbledore over, he was pretty much unrecognizable. Tom had a few house elves patch up the most serious injuries, and make him look more like himself.
What Tom hadn't told them yet; he had a VERY public execution planned for Dumbledore. Right at the ministry, in front of the whole wizarding world. He wanted everyone to recognize Dumbledore.
"Come along everyone. We have had enough excitement for tonight. Let's go and have some dinner." Tom said.
Harry smiled up at him as Tom put an arm around his shoulders. Sirius and Severus followed with confusion evident on their faces, but they also had pleased smiles.
With that they all went back up the stairs to go back into the Manor.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~H.P.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A/N: There it is. Dumbledore hasn't met his end just yet, but he did get some justice and payback dealt. I had a lot of fun letting Harry be a little evil and maniac like for a bit. Living with Tom and Bellatrix it was bound to rub off eventually. Hope you all enjoyed it! I have more good stuff coming your way soon. Please review and let me know what you think.
