Chapter 18

Next morning, Harry orbed back into his room back at the Malfoys and suspected no one would be up yet since it was 6.07am. Only Voldemort would be awake as he never sleeps or rests he thought as he lay down on the bed. He had been with Tom again most of the night. He couldn't resist staying away for long as their bond was unbreakable.

Turning over, Harry mused that Voldemort wasn't keeping a close eye on him so he decided take things further and wondered how Voldemort would react if he accidently done something crazy.

Harry continued to think of more ways he could get up to mischief for the day when at seven o'clock on the dot someone knocked on his door. Getting up, Harry opened it and saw Narcissa Malfoy, Draco and his father standing there.

"Morning" he said coming out into the hallway.

"Sleep well?" asked Lucius his voice tense.

"Like a log" lied, Harry walking in front.

When they entered the large room, Voldemort was sitting at the table talking to Nagini the snake and, Harry understood every word eves dropping.

Sitting down at the table, Harry was pondering his next move while everyone was arriving and sitting down. And he avoided Snape's eye contact he was trying to make to make sure he didn't sus out who he was, unless he knew already but it was doubtful.

The meeting didn't last long as, Voldemort had to go on some business with the Malfoy's which left Harry on his own with the guards which was alright with him plotting his next move.

They had been gathering new recruits all day, arriving back when it was dark. It had taken hours on end trying to gather up as many witches and wizards as possible for his army that they were pretty tired when arrived back at the house.

When they entered, Voldemort was surprised to find no guards at their post.

Turning on the lights they noticed signs of struggle and crockery lying scattered on the floor beside a pool of blood. And that the blood trailed along the floor as if they had been dragged along the floor.

"What is going on?" asked Lucius when he also noticed the blood.

They followed the blood trail up the stairs with blood hand marks on the walls. Along the corridor they went into, Harry's room to see two dead Death Eater's with their necks slashed open lying on the floor not moving in a pile of blood soaking the rug.

They all looked up to see, Harry sitting on the desk chair with blood stained hands saying "hello"

"Harry…did you do this?" asked a surprised Voldemort.

"Yes" replied, Harry showing him his blood stained hands.

"Why did you kill two of my guards?"

"You left me alone all day…I was bored"

"You did this because you were bored?"

Harry nodded and Voldemort said "well come now Harry let's get you cleaned up and the rest of you can get rid of the bodies and clean up the mess"

Harry was slightly surprised at how well he was taking it as he thought he would at least be angry but he didn't seem to be as he was led from the room.

Narcissa was the one who had the job of cleaning the blood from, Harry as the others got rid of the bodies and cleaned up the mess of the house.

After the clean-up, Harry went back down to the dining room and sat down along with Narcissa who said "all cleaned-up"

"Very well" replied Voldemort.

"How can you act so normal" asked Snape as Harry sat down.

"Severus" snapped Voldemort. "Harry is turning out a bit like me which is a good thing if you ask me quite the student"

Harry smiled a fake smile at him in return.

Most of the Death Eaters were angry at Harry for killing two of their own kind and good friends, but the suggestion of immediate death of anyone who laid a hand on Harry soon shut them up. 'Which was a good thing thought', Harry.

As, Harry turned around, he could see Peter about to sit down on the chair, Harry pointed at it and shifted it to the right side just before he sat down and he screamed in shock as he crashed to the ground with a thump causing a disturbance.

"Keep quiet" snapped Voldemort at the noise.

"Sorry sir" he replied standing up rubbing his sore behind moving the chair back. When a further disturbance came at the front door as it opened and two guards seemed to be struggling with someone to get them into the room.

All eyes turned to see the guards fling someone to the ground and when the figure looked up, Harry could see the other Draco Malfoy with shoulder length hair laying there.
