Chapter 22

When
Atani and Draco got off the train that summer they were surprised to see who
was waiting for them. Lucius was there
but so was Voldemort. As they walked
towards them someone grabbed Atani�s arm and pulled him away. He let out a shout of surprise as he was
pulled towards the muggle entrance.
Voldemort went after him with Lucius close behind.

�Release
him.� He hissed, catching up quickly, his green eyes narrowed dangerously.

Atani
struggled against the fat muggle, it was his �uncle� again, obviously
he didn�t take the threats to heart. He
puffed himself up, decidedly larger then the Dark Lord before him. Lucius stood behind his lord, looking at the
muggle with distaste, Draco was beside him, worried about his companion. Atani continued to try to pull his arm away.

�Atani,
be still.� Voldemort ordered calmly before focusing on the muggle, �As for
you�� He trailed off, pulling out his wand, �I, unlike others, have no problem
killing a filthy muggle like you.� His voice was a low hiss, almost snakelike,
�Now release my son.�

Dursley
scowled, �Your son? This is my nephew,
Harry Potter.� He jerked on his arm and Atani whimpered.

Voldemort
did not look pleased, his eyes narrowed to slits. He raised his wand, �Imperio.� He said with a
wicked smile, his voice was soft, barely a hiss, but it was enough, no one heard
him speak except for Lucius, �Now then, release my son.� His voice was soft,
barely audible; he didn�t want to attract attention. Atani�s arm was released and he quickly went
over to his father and stood behind him, glaring at the muggle, �You will not
come after us again, obliviate.� No one seemed to notice the exchange that went
on.

When
Atani had told Dumbledore and the Minister of Magic that Voldemort was back the
minister didn�t believe him, in fact, he was blamed for Cedric�s death. Since there was no evidence he couldn�t
pursue that avenue. Dumbledore on the
other hand did believe him. He seemed to
realize Atani was leaving something out though and he certainly couldn�t have
that. He had put on a wonderful show,
crying and getting angry that they wouldn�t believe him. Now he was happy, he was with his father and
his fianc�, he hoped it would be a good summer.
The four of them went to Malfoy Manor where they would be staying for
the summer. Atani and Voldemort spent
part of each day talking. Atani listened
to stories of what happened, about his mother, and about Dumbledore�s manipulations. Atani told him about the previous school
years. He apologized for second year,
when he destroyed the diary. It wasn�t
until two weeks had passed that something not completely unexpected happened. Dumbledore showed up at the manor with
Professors Snape and McGonagall. Atani
was the one who answered the door, when he saw them he turned on his heels and
walked inside, looking for his father leaving the three professors standing
there dumbstruck.

�What
business do you have here?� Lucius asked, walking to the door.

�Harry
will be staying at Hogwarts this summer.� Dumbledore said calmly.

Lucius
raised an eyebrow, �Oh? And why is
that?�

�The
safest place for him is at Hogwarts.
Especially if what he said about Voldemort is correct, surely you
understand.� It almost sounded like he was mocking him. Lucius scowled in response, �I would like to
speak with him, it is for his own good after all.�

Lucius
turned on his heels and walked inside, cloak flowing around him as he walked,
�My lord.� He said, walking over to Atani and Voldemort, �That fool Dumbledore
is here, he desires to take Atani to stay at Hogwarts for the summer.�

Atani
jumped up angrily, �No! I won�t go!�

�Atani,
calm yourself.� The Dark Lord�s voice was calm and collected. He sat down with a huff, crossing his arms
over his chest, �Lucius, inform the fool that Atani
does not desire to leave his friend and is perfectly safe here.� He looked at
the boy, �Atani, you will go with him and confirm what he says.�

Atani
got up and went with the blonde, �Albus, Harry has no desire to go anywhere, he
is perfectly safe here, I can guarantee that.�

Dumbledore
looked over at him, �Is this true, do you really want to stay here?� He asked, sounding like Atani was being controlled.

�I
don�t want to go anywhere, my best friend is here, and I�ve been safe for all
the previous years.� Atani stated calmly, �I don�t want to leave and there�s no
way I�m going to go with you. I�ll see
you September first.� He said with a wave before walking back into the house
before Dumbledore or the other two professors could respond.

McGonagall
looked shocked by his flippant response and the way he just up and left. Snape was smirking inwardly at the boy�s
actions, �There are three grown wizards here, he will
be perfectly safe. Now excuse me, I have
things I need to attend to.� Lucius said, walking back inside.

Atani
sat down with his father, looking decidedly unhappy, �I can�t believe him! Why the hell does he want me to go?�

�Atani, calm down. He
wants you somewhere he can keep an eye on you and control you. He sees you as the only one who can defeat
me. He wants to use you as a weapon
against me.�

He
sighed, �What are we going to do this summer?� He asked,
relaxing into the couch he was sitting on.

�I
need to speak with my followers and dole out punishment for those who have gone
against me and forgotten me.� He paused, �You must remember Atani, I am the Dark Lord. I
have things I need to do.�

�I
know.� He sighed, �I�m just happy to have you back. To know that I have a
father.� He smiled, �I�m happy for once in my life. I was happy when I found out about the
wizarding world, I was even happier to find a friend, and then when I found out
I had a father that was still alive��

He
smiled and wrapped his arms around him, �Since the first time I held you in my
arms I knew you would make me do things that don�t fit with the normal view of
a Dark Lord. No one would expect to see
one holding and hugging a child.� He chuckled, pulling him into his lap and
playing with his hair, �I�m very proud of you Atani and I wouldn�t want anyone
else as my son. Your mother would be
very proud of you.�

�Papa? How did she
die?� He asked, laying his head on his shoulder, he wanted to be a child for a
change; he wanted to be held and comforted by his father.

Gently
he stroked his hair, �Soon after you were born I had to go deal with a few
problems. Dumbledore took that as his
cue to find your mother and you. Since
magic is traceable, well, can be, he decided to use a gun. He threatened your mother, demanded that she
give you up. She refused and he killed
her. He took you and gave you to the
Potters. He made me believe that you
were their son and that you were the key to my defeat. Since I couldn�t have that I went after
them. I killed Lily and James
Potter. When I went to kill you I
learned that it was you. I pulled the
curse back, destroying myself and giving you that scar.� He stroked his hair
soothingly as he spoke; playing with the long black strands tenderly,
�Dumbledore will pay for what he did. I always
wanted to be a father, to have things be different for you then they were for
me, Dumbledore ruined that.�

Atani
sighed, �I�m just happy to have you now.� He closed his eyes, content with
being held by his father, something he had never had before.

�I
want to take you shopping, make up for all those birthdays I�ve missed.�

The
boy�s eyes brightened, �Where are we going to go?� He would have been bouncing
like a small child if he hadn�t been in his father�s lap.

�Diagon
and Knockturn Alley, the best places to get what you
need or want.� He nodded, �Go get ready and we�ll go.� He said, letting him get
up. He bounced up and ran upstairs to
change. Voldemort chuckled softly as he
watched him go, �You�ve done well Lucius.� He said, knowing the blonde was
nearby and could hear him, �I�m pleased that Draco found him and that you have
taken care of him. I would be most
disappointed if someone hadn�t, even more so if Dumbledore had gotten his hooks
into him.�

�He
almost did my lord.� Lucius said from where he was standing, �That oaf Hagrid
is the one who took him to Diagon Alley, not only that but when Draco found him
he was sitting with a Weasley.�

His
eyes narrowed, �It�s good that Draco came along then. We shall have to wait and see what happens,
he is a good boy, I don�t think I have to worry about
Dumbledore�s manipulations unless he takes it upon himself to use memory charms
on him. I wouldn�t put it past him. We must be careful, when at school Draco will
be with him at all times.� He said, it was an order; he
wouldn�t let his son be alone with Dumbledore around, �Am I understood?�

�Yes
my lord. I shall speak with Draco about
it. I�m sure he won�t have any
complaints.� He paused, �Is there anything you need me to do today my lord?�

�No
Lucius, not that I can think of at this time.
There will be a meeting tonight to cover some things and to discuss a
few members lack of loyalty.� He looked at Lucius, �You have atoned for your
denial by taking care of my son but there are others�� He trailed off.

�Yes
my lord, I apologize but I didn�t want to leave my family.�

�I
know that Lucius, mind yourself.� He snapped, �That�s
another reason why I will be lenient on you and the others this time but should
it happen again I will be most displeased.�

�Yes
my lord.� He said softly as Atani came bounding down the stairs dressed in his
favorite robe, the one Draco had given him his first year. It still fit because it was made with magical
cloth that changed with the wearer.

He
smiled at his son, �Let�s go.�

They
each grabbed a handful of powder from the fireplace mantle and with a shout of
where they wanted to go they disappeared into the fireplace. They spent the day shopping, the dark lord
buying everything his son desired. Robes and cloaks, the latest broom, candies, and an owl for post. Voldemort had taken a special ring out of his
vault as well for Atani. As they shopped
they didn�t realize they were being watched, a pair of nearly black eyes
watched them carefully as they laughed and talked with each other. They were happy, father and son, a family.

As
they were leaving someone grabbed Atani, pulling him into an alley, the black
haired boy screamed and thrashed, trying to get away. He sank his teeth into the hand covering his
mouth, continuing to struggle. Copper
tasting blood filled his mouth as he latched onto his captors flesh. Voldemort rushed into the alley, wand at the
ready, pointing it at them.

�Release
him!� His voice was a low hiss.

The
man holding Atani laughed and brought his lips to his throat, kissing it, �No,
I think not. I want this one.�

Voldemort
hissed, �He is my son and I am the Dark Lord Voldemort, release him now.�

His
black eyes widened for a moment and he quickly released him, pushing him forward,
�I may listen well but others of my kind do not. He has power, we can sense it, and we want
it. Keep a closer hold on your child
Dark Lord or you may wake up to find him missing.� With that he disappeared.

Atani
stumbled into his father, clinging to his black robes, blood was on his face
and droplets stained his robe. Tears of
fear stained his face, he was petrified.
Gently Voldemort held him, stroking his hair soothingly, �Shhh, it�s alright, nothing�s going to happen. Let�s get home.�

With
a wave of his wand they disappeared. He
didn�t like to apparate with others but he wanted to get
home as quickly as possible and didn�t want anyone to see the blood on his son. They arrived at the manor and Voldemort
immediately took him into one of the bathrooms.
Gently he gathered up what blood he could on a rag. Carefully he began to clean his face and
neck. When he was finished he brushed his
hair out of his face gently before wrapping him in his arms, holding him
close. Softly Atani began to cry, sobbing
into the soft fabric of his father�s robe.

�No
one is going to hurt you.� He stroked his hair gently, �I won�t let anyone hurt
you.�

Atani
nodded, �I know papa, I just need to cry, I-I haven�t cried for a long time.�

�Alright.� He said, holding him and stroking his hair,
�Draco�s going to get worried if we�re gone for too long. Let me clean your robe so we don�t worry
him.� He said, casting a cleaning charm on his robe.

After
Atani regained his composure the two of them walked out of the bathroom. When they walked out into the main hall they
saw Draco waiting for them, he smiled at Atani before nearly launching himself
at him, wrapping his arms around him and pulling him close, �Did you have fun
shopping?�

�Of course Drac!� He smiled, acting as if nothing had happened,
inside he felt a little odd; he�d talk to his father about it later.

Draco
smiled, �Dinner�s almost done, let�s get ready to eat.� With that the two of
them went upstairs to wash up.
