Harry had appeared on a bed and surprised he noted it was occupied. Tearstained eyes looked up at him and a scream made him tumble. “H-Harry!” Blinking Harry looked around the dorm before deciding it hadn’t been his bed.
“Neville?” He asked looking at the crying boy who suddenly beamed at him.
“Harry!” The dark blond boy fell in his arms and started to cry even harder.
“Neville, what happened?” He started to stroke the boy’s back and let him cry until his eyes were drained. After ten minutes Neville had calmed down and quickly withdrew.
“Sorry, where have you been, Harry? Everyone’s been worrying their heads off.” He asked while wiping his blue orbs. Harry opened his mouth to answer when something caught his eye.
“What’s that?” He grabbed Neville’s collar pulling it downwards to get a better look. “I-is that a hickey?” He asked surprised, quickly wishing he hadn’t when the boy started to cry again. He gathered the quivering boy back into his arms and repeated his soothing manners. “Who did it, Neville? It wasn’t consensual, was it?” The quivering boy shook his head and looked up. Seeing his teary eyes broke Harry’s heart. Whoever it was, was going to pay. “Who is it, Neville?” He asked again and saw his roommate hesitate before opening his mouth.
“Harry?!” Hermione suddenly yelled from behind them. She ran towards the two boys and hugged them both. “You’re back, Harry! What did he do?!” She demanded the last but before Harry could answer or calm her Ron and Ginny were standing over them.
“Mate!” The oldest of the two Weasleys yelled as he dropped down next to Hermione. Questions came and didn’t stop.
“Guys, guys please.” Harry begged them in the end. “I don’t have a lot of time. I need to see Dumbledore.” Hermione looked horrified but complied and got up.
“You’re not going back, are you?” Ron yelled hysterical. The Boy-Who-Lived gave him a sad look.
“I can’t really stop him, can I?”
“Don’t you know the spell? Can’t Dumbledore cast a counter?”
“Ron.” Ginny tried to calm down her brother. She and Neville were looking a little lost.
“Let’s go to Dumbledore, I’ll explain everything in his office.” Harry said while looking his best friend in the eye making sure he understood the significant.
“Fine, let’s go.” Immediately Ron got up and walked out of the door.
“Ginny, could you get Luna?” The ginger girl nodded a little surprised.
“We’ll meet you at the Headmaster’s office.” Harry continued and got up himself. He looked over to Neville and saw Hermione rubbing his back. He’ll need to find out what was going on before he left. Hopefully he could still do something during his time here or he would feel awful when he got pulled back.
“Are you guys coming or what?” Ron popped his head back in the room.
“We’re coming, Ronald.” Hermione answered a little annoyed before she and Neville got up.
-THTH-
“Harry, my boy, good to have you back.” Dumbledore waved to the chairs in front of his desk and conjured two more when Ginny and Luna barged in. The Headmaster looked to the three not yet informed students before looking back at Harry. The boy gave him a look that told him he wanted them to know. “Teenage Voldemort, Tom Marvolo Riddle,” Dumbledore started while looking at the three whose eyes widened, “has been using a spell to summon Harry to him.”
“What?!” Ginny squeaked while turning her large eyes to her crush.
“It has happened twice already.” Harry ignored her instead listened to the Headmaster as he continued. “Harry, have you found out which spell?”
“I only found out it’s a spell to call his bonded one.” The Boy-Who-Lived apologized but that was enough to make Ron blow up.
“He’s going to kill you!” The redhead yelled while grabbing Harry’s arm.
“Ronald!” Hermione screamed trying to pull him off. Harry’s arm was already starting to pale.
“Ron, he thinks the bound is love!” Harry raised his voice making his best friend stare shocked at him.
“So what, he wants to rape you.” It didn’t help and seeing the Golden Boy hesitate didn’t help. “Did he already do it?!” Ron screamed hysterical.
“No, he only kissed me!” Immediately the office was quiet.
“He kissed you?” Ginny had to ask. Her face wore a look like she had just heard her death sentence.
“Yes…” Harry forced himself to look straight at her.
“Tom thinks you’re his true love?” Dumbledore asked already nodded to himself. He didn’t need an answer. “He hasn’t forced you, has he, Harry?” The boy shook his head.
“I made up a future when he asked me how we met. A future that made it clear we weren’t lovers yet.” The blue twinkling eyes asked him to tell.
“I told him he’s the Dark Lord, just the name nothing more and that he has a lover who looks like my alias.” Dumbledore nodded.
“Who’s your alias?”
“Marvolo Remus, you should know him, I’ve already been to one of your classes.” The Headmaster searched his memories before shaking his head.
“I’m sorry, my boy, I don’t. He’d probably erased it at one point.”
“Does that mean something went wrong, will go wrong?” Hermione opened her mouth and for the first time since he was back Harry felt his heart clench.
“Not necessarily, it only tells us he doesn’t want anybody to know about… Marvolo.” Dumbledore assured her. “But I do need to emphasize it dangerous to play his lover.” He looked back at Harry. “A young man with his vision will have enemies, being his lover will put you in danger.” The Boy-Who-Lived whined at that.
‘Being his lover…’ “Professor, how long will this go on?” The Headmaster looked sadly at him.
“I don’t know, my boy.”
“Until you kill him!” Ron opened his mouth again while kneading his best friend’s arm once more, still haven’t let go. Hermione opened her mouth but Dumbledore stopped her with his hand.
“That wouldn’t guaranty your return. Depending on the spell it could mean you’ll return or you’ll be stuck in the past.”
“So first Harry has to find out which spell has been used.” Neville opened his mouth for the first time. Surprised his voice sounded even making Harry turn towards him. He noted Luna was holding his hand supportive and he suddenly realized even if he wasn’t here Neville had friends who’d help him. Hermione had probably also been looking for him earlier in the boys’ dormitory.
“That would be best.” The Headmaster commanded glancing at the shy boy.
“How did he sent you back?” Luna asked like it was her turn.
“He… he removed a bracelet.” Harry realized he hadn’t told them this yet.
“A bracelet?” Hermione asked interested. “What did it look like?”
“Nothing special, a silver snake.”
“What could this mean?” The bushy haired girl turned to Dumbledore who looked thoughtfully.
“The bracelet keeps you there?” He asked for clarification.
“Yes, and only Tom can open it.”
“Tom, it’s already Tom.” Ron mumbled clenching Harry’s arm once more. His best friend was hoping he would release him soon.
“How long do we have?”
“’Till 6 o’clock.” Harry answered his Headmaster.
“I suggest you spend that time with your friends. I’ll allow Ms. Lovegood to stay in the Gryffindor Tower for tonight.” Harry nodded gratefully before getting up. “Don’t give up, my boy. Maybe you can teach Tom about love.” Dumbledore encouraged him a last time.
-THTH-
“The spell must be somewhere in the library.” Hermione mumbled as they made their way through the corridors. The convoy turned the corner towards said place without a second thought. “It is the place he has to most access to.” The bushy haired Gryffindor nodded to herself, but Harry had his doubts.
“He has enough connections...”
“But I don’t see him asking his minions if they know about a love spell.” Neville answered staring aimlessly in front of him. He seemed to be lost in his own thoughts. Harry glanced a little worried at him. Someone was forcing his friend into a black hole, which he had trouble getting out off.
“He would first search the library for interesting spells. A name is all he needs.” Luna smiled.
“I guess that makes sense.” Harry answered the Ravenclaw and followed Ron inside the library. Hermione was already walking towards the section that contained all the spells that affected emotions.
“We should also check the potions and...” Harry turned to the restricted section. “Tom has access to the restricted section.” He realised and turned around. “I’ll be back.” He announced as his friends nodded in understanding. In the corner of his eyes he watched Ron and Neville make their way towards the potions and Ginny followed Luna towards another section on incantations. Running towards the Gryffindor tower Harry mumbled the password and got access from the fat lady before sprinting towards his room. His trunk got thrown open and his eyes fell on his wand. He grabbed it and pulled his cloak of invisibility out as second. Closing the trunk again his eyes slid over his bed and his glasses on the nightstand.
‘My eyes are still enchanted.’ Shaking his head he turned away from his bed and made his way outside. Once back at the library he had hid himself with his cloak and walked to the restricted section where he entered without a problem. He walked to the back scanning the labels on top of the racks. His feet stopped when he found the section on love potions and love spells. ‘It’s hard to imagine Voldemort coming here...’ Picturing the bald white snakelike man standing here in his black robe made him almost giggle. Then the man got replaced by his younger version and Harry could again see the lust in those brown eyes. All of a sudden it didn’t look that unusual anymore. ‘No, concentrate, Harry!’ He shook his head and walked into the passage. His eyes could sight of a pink binder with ‘love spells’ written on it in gold. ‘Not something Tom would go for but then again this whole thing is weird.’ Sighing he pulled the book from his place and flipped it open at the contents table. He found a chapter about potions and one about incantations but nothing that suggested a combination between the two. Closing the book he put it back in its place and scanned the other titles. After an hour he had found a couple of interesting love spells but nothing about a combination between potions and incantations. Putting the last book into its place again he searched his mind for clues. Then it hit him.
“He didn’t say anything about love...” He turned around and left the passage. Walking between the next racks his eyes stopped on a book. Curious he stepped towards it and pulled it into his hands. “The different kinds of human bonds.” He read the title aloud and opened it. “...Bonds of the soul...” Was the paragraph that pulled his attention. He flipped towards the paragraph and read the subtitles. “Spells to bond someone to you, spells to check the bond and spells to dispel the bond.” He mumbled knowing this wasn’t what he was looking for, but he was getting closer. Suddenly a voice scared him. Quickly he put the book back into his place and pulled his cloak closer to his body. Moving back to the entrance he noted the librarian escorting his friends out. He followed them only removing his cloak when they were the only living humans left in the surrounding corridors.
“What did you find?” Ron asked him.
“Bonds of the soul.” Harry answered and Neville turned to them.
“There’s a potion based on plant’s ingredients that can identify bonds like that.”
“Did it mention an incantation?” The dark blond shook his head in denial.
“I haven’t found anything about a combination between an incantation and a potion.” Hermione said clearly in thought.
“Maybe Tom made the combination himself.” Luna suggested making the others look at her.
“Why are you calling him Tom?” Ron spat the name and sneered in disgust.
“It’s his name, isn’t it?” The blonde girl asked truthfully and Harry shook his head knowing this was a discussion that would go nowhere.
“If he made the combination himself, we won’t find it.” He interrupted them and noticed Ginny shrinking a little.
“Then you have to find out which ones he used.” Ron answered him seriously and the other nodded.
“And how do you suggest I do that?” The redhead opened his mouth to answer but got beaten my Hermione.
“Seduce him!” Green eyes widened in shock and he couldn’t help but remember how he had convinced Tom to let him go.
“Are you insane!” His best friend was the one who spoke up.
“No, I’m not insane Ronald. He thinks Harry loves him, so seducing him will only lead to confirm that thought.” The bushy haired girl rolled her eyes. Ron sneered in disgust but Harry couldn’t deny he had already gotten his way two times by kissing Tom.
-THTH-
Ron had been shaking his head in denial since they had re-entered the common room. The girls had decided to teach Harry how to seduce Tom and it didn’t sit right with him. “Are you really going to do this, mate?” He had to ask and Harry looked up at him.
“What else can I do? And don’t tell me I should kill him.” Luna shook her head for him.
“Killing him would hurt Harry.” She answered sweetly making the redhead look oddly at her.
“It would safe him, not hurt him.”
“Think about it, Ron. It’s not easy to kill someone and… Tom isn’t You-Know-Who yet.” Neville defended his friend. Harry noted he could say Tom but not Voldemort.
“I need a break.” Harry announced as he leaned backwards in the couch he was occupying.
“Yes, bathroom break.” Neville mumbled and got up. Harry waited a couple of minutes before he followed him.
-THTH-
Like expected Neville was washing his hands when Harry entered. “Neville, do you want to talk?” He asked carefully and the boy stiffened. A pregnant pause took place without a movement from both occupiers.
“Did you like it… his kisses?” Neville asked in the end refusing to meet Harry’s eyes. Sighing Harry walked closer to him.
“At first, I found it disgusting…” He saw his roommate shrink a little. “But as I got used to it…” Harry couldn’t actually believe he had already gotten used to kissing Tom. “I lose myself completely in them.” Surprised the shy boy looked up at him and now Harry was avoiding his eyes. “It’s sick right.”
“No…” Now green orbs did meet the other’s. “He makes you feel like you’re the only one, the only one that matters to him.” Harry couldn’t help but nod giving Neville courage to continue. “You can’t deny him or he’ll destroy you. But as you let him in, he’s doing that anyway.” Now the Golden Boy couldn’t help but wonder if he was also talking about his own situation.
“Is that what’s also happening to you?” He asked carefully making the other sigh.
“He’s wrong, so wrong.”
‘A man…’ Harry sucked in the information that would help him deceiver his friend’s heartthrob.
“How does Tom treat you?” Neville stopped his train of thought.
“Euh, as long as I’m good…” He could still remember the hand around his neck. Thank Merlin the pain was gone by now. “Okay, I guess. He put guards on me and made sure everyone knows I’m his boyfriend.” His eyes focused on his friend again.
“He would never do that. He’s ashamed of me.” Neville smile sadly.
“Well, yours won’t kill you.” Harry tried to cheer him up but failed miserable.
“He probably will.” He got shot back and for a moment his mind raced.
“He… he’s a Death Eater?” Neville shrunk a little again. “Who… no… lately it’s always been you…no, not him...” The boy in front of him was now forcing his tears to stay put. “Oh, Neville!” He pulled the other against his chest and felt the first tears wet his shirt. “We’re really two of a kind, aren’t we.” Harry soothed the boy in his arms. “Do you think he has feelings for you?” He asked when Neville had gotten a hold on his tears again.
“I don’t know. He’s always so angry when he’s with me.” His roommate answered wiping the evidence of his tears away.
“Angry at himself or you?” The shy boy blinked a little before raising his head.
“At himself?”
“Then he does probably have feelings for you.” Harry tried to smile as he saw the hope grow. With his whole heart he hoped he was right. He didn’t want to sent his friend even deeper into the madness that was Draco Malfoy.
-THTH-
Reluctantly Harry looked at Ron’s watch and sighed when it hit 5 o’clock already. He wasn’t ready to leave yet. His eyes travelled over the sleeping figures around him. Ginny and Hermione had brought down sheets and pillows making it look like they were haven a slumber party. The two girls were snoozing peacefully in front of the couch he was occupying. Ron was laying uncomfortable beside him still in a half sitting position. Neville was sitting on the floor with his back leaning again the couch in between the two boys. And Luna had been staring aimlessly at the fireplace since she had woken up fifteen minutes ago from her place next to the two other girls. “How are the nargles?” Harry asked and looked how the girl turn towards him.
“Quiet, something’s stirring. Maybe we’re changing.”
“That’s called growing up.” He mumbled but the Ravenclaw shook her head.
“No, it’s too quick. Hearts are changing. Ginny’s, Ron’s, Hermione’s, Neville’s, Harry’s and mine. The nargles sense it and stay away. They’re powerless against it.” She explained while her listener tried to decode. He knew somewhere there was a meaning in her words.
“Isn’t that what a war does to you?” Neville asked announcing he had also awoken.
“Not necessary.” Luna’s sweet voice answered with a smile. “There are more things that change hearts. It could be the line between good and evil, nargles and brownies[1],…” Her eyes turned to the Boy-Who-Lived particularly, “Tom and Voldemort,…” Now Neville got her attention again, “or Lucius and Draco.” She smiled as her shy friend turned scarlet.
“H-How?”
“The nargles tried to blackmail me with it. Don’t worry, I explained to them why that wasn’t good blackmail material.” Neville looked uncertain at Harry who shrugged.
“She won’t tell.” The shy boy seemed content.
“Let’s wake the others up. They’ll want to say goodbye.” Neville changed the subject while shaking Ron’s leg.
“W-what! Harry!” The redhead yelled and hysterically started to look around the common room.
“I’m still here, Ron.” Harry waved with a smile and his best friend let out an exaggerate sigh. Hermione and Ginny woke up more normally. Their last hour got spend useful and when the six came it was still too soon. Tears poured and hugs were exchanged. “Don’t let him get you before you’ve got him.” Harry whispered to Neville who blushed a little before returning the same advice. With ten minutes to spare he grabbed his wand and glasses. He hadn’t know how to dispel the spell on his eyes and hadn’t asked Hermione who also hadn’t suggested it, but he was going to take his glasses with him. You never knew.
“You sure you not taking your invisibility cloak with you?” Hermione asked for the umpteenth time and Harry only shook his head.
“I can’t risk it. Tom can’t get his hands on it.” Giving up the girl nodded wiping another tear away.
“I’ll miss you, all of you.” Harry almost whispered keeping in the tears which were treating to fall. As he saw them blur he felt like he left a part of him behind, a big part.
