(I’m thinking)
“I’m speaking”
Pairing: Yaoi M/M, Harem – top Harry x bottom de-aged Severus / Tom / Lucius
Last Time:
Lucius frowned “we ran into someone and it would be best if you listened to his story before over-” they made it to the lavish living room and Peter spotted Tom … Peter wasted no time dashing forward and punching the wizard in a school uniform right in the jaw “-reacting” Lucius and Severus sighed …
XXXXXXXXXX
“damn Gryffindor” Severus grumbled as he watched Peter jump on the fallen wizard and punch again.
“we really should’ve tried to hold him back” said Lucius uncaringly.
Severus shrugged “slipped my mind” neither of them cared. They pledged their loyalties to Tom and the man quickly drops the cause he stood for and uses them as slaves. Tom became Voldemort, used curses on them, tortured them, he’s the reason Harry was orphaned … the idiot dark lord deserved a punch …
Bellatrix and Narcissa walked into the living room “HIT HIM HARDER!” yelled Bellatrix as she bounced round excitedly.
Just Peter was about to pull his arm Tom reached up and caught his wrist “you’re bleeding” Peter finally calmed down and noticed the pain in his shoulder. He was in fact bleeding.
“oh Peter!” Narcissa exclaimed as she ran over to the handsome spy clearly worried about the blood now seeping through the shirt.
“damn, you reopened the gash on your shoulder” Severus cursed as he went over and helped Peter sit on the couch to heal him “you going to explain?” he asked as Lucius, Narcissa and Bellatrix sat down clearly showing concern only for Peter and not even sparing Tom a glance.
“yeah” Tom winced as he got up from the floor and sat on a chair “to make things clear I’m not Voldemort, in fact, I never met any of you” Tom sighed as he was met with skeptical glares … no surprise, he himself had trouble believing it …“while in school my friend Myrtle and I discovered that Dumbledore created a Horcrux through some old letters we found in an old journal that got mixed up with the library books. Making a horcrux is a powerful and forbidden act of soul magic where a piece of your soul is broken off and stored in an object there by anchoring your soul to this would. It’s a foolish means of gaining immortality”
Lucius’s jaw dropped slightly just like everyone else “Myrtle? … you were friends with moaning Myrtle? Dumbledore used soul magic?”
“yes, I was friends with the most stubborn Ravenclaw known to grace the halls of Hogwarts and who is currently haunting a bathroom. Yes, the great defender of the Light side has used the darkest section of magic known to exist and it gets worse. We were the only ones who didn’t fall for Dumbledore’s saintly grandfatherly mask and it wasn’t good for him to have a horcrux. As Myrtle and I attempted to find the horcrux in order to destroy it so Dumbledore couldn’t become immortal Myrtle became very ill” Tom frowned sadly as he recalled those events years ago, which wasn’t too long ago for him really “she collapsed in the Chamber of Secrets as we were thinking of possibilities for Dumbledore’s horcrux. I was able to find out that she was poisoned, but there was no time to help her. She told me that there was no chance … that she was dying and to kill her first … Myrtle was in so much pain and all I could do was order the basilisk to look her in the eyes for a painless death, but … that’s where I made my first mistake”
Severus’s eyes narrowed “how are horcruxes made and why don’t we know anything of this?” than he paled heavily “Basilisk?! There’s a basilisk in Hogwarts!”
Tom chuckled bitterly “and yet again yes, but she’s very nice … the act of killing is what breaks the soul apart. I used Myrtle’s death to make a fragment thinking it would give me time to find Dumbledore’s horcrux, but instead of being a backup plan it’s where Voldemort happened. The side effects of breaking your soul includes insanity, paranoia, disfiguring changes, decaying magic and sadistic behavior … you also can’t resist making more” Tom glanced at each person there “the very day Myrtle and I started searching Dumbledore removed everything from the library and had the information labeled dark magic so you couldn’t have known … the letters we found disappeared after Myrtle’s death… you know, by the time you all started following the dark lord a fourth horcrux was made. Tom’s mind was already slipping into the Voldemort mindset and full of so much paranoia that he trusted no one. By the time Voldemort was stopped there were five horcuxes deliberately made”
Suddenly things were starting to clear up, but there were still some things that didn’t make sense “why are you talking as if the Tom we know and the Voldemort he became aren’t connected to you?” Narcissa asked.
“because I am neither … at least not really. When the first horcrux was made it ceased being a part of them and became a separate entity” Tom reached into his robes and pulled the diary out “I’m Tom Riddle’s first horcrux. Draining the muggles gave me enough strength to make this form”
Peter scowled “none of this makes sense. Why have you never told us about this? I understand why you would want to make a backup plan considering Myrtle’s poisoning, but why are we only now hearing about her and Dumbledore? And why the hell should we believe that you’re a horcrux if you know us when we didn’t meet you until over 20 years later?”
The young soul fragment sighed “I didn’t know you or Harry. Somehow my diary fell into Harry’s hands and he wrote to me. When I discovered his abuse I got out of the diary to help him. I noticed he had a piece of Tom’s soul in his scar and I absorbed it. I have the memories from that horcrux, which was a sixth horcrux that was accidently made and I told you Tom never trusted anyone after the point of my creation. He would not have revealed the story behind the horcrux of Dumbledore if it would reveal his own … have any of you used a diagnostic spell on you’re marks?”
“no … our Tom said it was a special summons charm linked to a cursed mark” Lucius commented.
“it isn’t” Tom sighed as each of them, save for Narcissa who had no mark, reached for their wands and rolled up their sleeves. One diagnostic charm later rendered everyone silent due to shock “as you can see it’s a basic binding spell. Tom said it in Parseltongue to make you think it was something unique, but his magic was degrading so he didn’t bother doing anything special. The burning pain you feel when he calls you is evidence that dark magic has infected the soul of the caster or in this case, evidence of a shattered soul”
It was proven that Voldemort was still lurking out there. The realization made everyone feel sick as they fell into a tense silence. The very insane and bloodthirsty Dark Lord could return. All he needed was a body …
Peter stared at his mark blankly for a few seconds before suddenly standing up “I HIT THE WRONG ONE!”
That shattered the tense silence completely …
Severus rolled his eyes and dragged Peter back into his seat “yes it seems you did, now sit still before you rip another wound open. Bellatrix where’s that portkey?” Bellatrix tossed him the keys that she took from Ms. Figg’s purse and Severus gave them to Peter “here, play with these” Peter twitched at the comment that sounded too much like an adult trying to distract a child, but started analyzing the portkey anyway “there is still one thing I want to clear up … your opinion of the prophecy” Severus stated seriously gaining everyone’s attention.
Tom shook his head “that was either a false prophecy planned by Dumbledore or … it was only talking about Voldemort’s body being destroyed, which in a sense is a dark wizard being stopped. Of course either way it’s a miracle Harry survived. That might have been because of his mother or even him being my intended”
“He’s not! Harry’s mine!” Severus and Lucius snapped I perfect sync, but then froze to look at each other.
Narcissa frowned “are you all sure? None of you have said you were connected before and you have touched each other especially Severus who has healed Lucius at least once”
“yes, I felt it” said Severus who experimentally took Lucius’s hand looking for any reaction, but there was nothing.
Lucius blinked in confusion as he let go of Severus and touched Tom, but again there was nothing “so did I”
“I may be just a soul fragment, but I know I felt my magic react to Harry” Tom said as he took Severus’s hand only to not feel anything.
Peter glanced up from the portkey with a frown. This was a very strange thing indeed. One knows when their magic sings. The spy was actually bonded to Narcissa though that fact wasn’t enough to stop the arranged marriage between his friend and intended, but he was fine with that. Now that they did the job of producing an heir, who they all love dearly, Lucius and Narcissa were trying to slice through the red tape to get a divorce. It wasn’t easy by any means.
The strangest part was that he never heard of three peoples’ magic reacting to only one person. Not that more than two people being bonded together was strange, that’s actually common. It isn’t unheard of to find say three people being each someone’s intended, but they all react to each other. Severus, Lucius and Tom should be feeling each other as intendeds as well, but they are not. They only react to Harry. Peter raised his wand at the three wizards. Bellatrix took the hint and raised hers as well as Narcissa. One spell was fired from each wand and hit each of the three wizards.
“hey! A word of warning would be nice!” snapped Lucius.
“oh cool it Lulu! You all met Harry only hours ago so we used the Soul Link charm while it’s still valid” Bellatrix huffed at them and they waited for the simple revealing charm that has a 24 hour time window to take effect. By 24 hours it mean that this charm can reveal whose you’re connected to if you’re nearby and you have seen your intended within that time period.
Red threads of pure visible magic came out of the three wizards’ hearts and floated up to the ceiling with the only noticeable difference being that Tom’s was fainter than the others. As the threads moved upwards they started to converge to one point. That one point was where Harry’s room was.
Bellatrix gave an impressed whistle “whoa … that settles that”
“yep, you guys are Harry’s intendeds” said Peter in amusement as Narcissa sat next him clearly trying not laugh.
“you’ll make lovely wives” Bellatrix smirked.
“why do you assume we’re the wives?” Lucius huffed.
“because we know you guys and keep in mind I know some secrets from your school lives” Peter chuckled as Lucius and Severus looked nervous.
Severus had a nearly unseen blush grace his cheeks like the others and made a quick change of subject “Tom you said you absorbed the horcrux from Harry. What would happen if you tried to fix your soul?”
The horcrux frowned “there wasn’t much information to start with. A horcrux has only been made and documented by one other person. That person also only made one, but he said that the piece of his soul is actually half his soul. Myrtle believed that more than one could be made, but the horcrux would be smaller each time with the first being half and the second being a quarter and so on … from Tom’s experiments Myrtle’s theory was proven, but the Dark Lord is the main fragment and probably has conscious control and he is probably in Albania”
Peter raised an eyebrow curiously “that may be, but you’re magic is strong and your soul piece is larger now because of all the Horcruxes he made … if you absorbed the other horcruxes is it possible you could absorb the Dark Lord, but remain in control?”
“it might be possible, but this would be completely unknown territory” Tom said seriously.
“we should try and if this works we’ll deal with Dumbledore” said Lucius getting nods of agreement in return.
Tom thought a moment “there is … Myrtle would kill me … the Ravenclaw diadem, which is still at Hogwarts as far as I know, the Hufflepuff cup-”
“YOU GAVE ME A HORCRUX! FORGET GET THE GHOST, I‘M GOING TO KILL YOU!” snapped Bellatrix, but before she could lunge at Tom she was blocked by her sister.
Narcissa sighed “we already established that this Tom isn’t at fault. Why don’t you go get Barty, Rodolphus and Rebastan before they run head long into the Dark Lord”
The raven haired witch scoffed “oh please Cissa, you know as well as I do that those idiots went back to sleep instead of going to investigate”
“yes well … Tom, what are the other horcruxes? You named four including Harry and the diary, but you said the Dark Lord made 6” stated Narcissa calmly as her sister flopped back in her chair.
“the Slytherin locket and the Gaunt ring, but both of those are booby trapped with curses … and it could be possible he made another since the attack, which is actually something I’d like to know. What happened after that Halloween night?” Tom asked curiously.
Peter put the portkey down on the coffee table and sighed “a lot … in a nutshell, Sirius Black went nuts and tried to kill me when I came to Godric’s Hollow to check on Harry. Sirius was under some stupid assumption that I was James and Lily’s secret keeper, which I was not. He chased me to a muggle street and shot off a spell that hit a … truck I believe, I don’t know muggle transportation. The explosion killed several muggles and injured me, but I escaped though he knows I am a Death Eater. Then Aurors everywhere finally grew backbones and started rounding up all the Death Eaters including Bells, Tyler Nott, the Lestrange brothers, Barty, Severus and, as a hilarious mistake, Sirius Black who everyone assumed was the Potter’s secret keeper”
Lucius nodded “I was able to talk my way out of it, but the others were sent to Azkaban without trails or even proof of any kind for their trumped up charges. They didn’t even check for a Dark Mark … though I would like to know who really tortured the Longbottoms. Anyway, Severus was in for a mouth before Dumbledore bailed him out saying he was a spy, which the old fool thankfully never realized Severus was a double agent. Peter, through pure stupidity, broke the others out”
“it still worked” Peter muttered as he avoided eye contact knowing full well he could’ve thought though that break out better.
Tom raised an eyebrow and looked at Severus “why did Dumbledore even bother getting you out?”
“actually … I wasn’t sure. He isn’t the type to leave loose ends and after the first few days I was sure that even though I played the spy role perfectly he was going to leave me there, but suddenly he bailed me out one day. The first thing he wanted to see was my mark … somehow he must’ve realized that the Dark Lord was still around. We believed it too because the mark only faded, but he shouldn’t have guessed that … now I think he realized you made a Horcrux when he took Harry. You could return so I became useful once again. You should’ve heard that prick apologize. He was so sorry for not being able to get me out sooner” Severus grumbled sarcastically.
“so Dumbledore is on the hunt for the other horcruxes” Tom sighed as he tapped his chin in thought. A sinking feeling in his stomach grew as he thought of the old goat getting the other soul fragments.
Severus nodded “as distressing as it sounds yes-”
“that’s it!’ Lucius scowled clearly furious about something “the raid was an excuse to look for the horcruxes! That bastard!”
Narcissa sighed in exasperation “that man really needs to be put in his place, but enough of this. We’ll begin getting Tom the other horcruxes tomorrow before that fool can get any. I’m sure you want to start brewing some potions Severus and as far as those muggles go … we see to them tomorrow too. Which cell did you put them in Bells?”
“I put Petunia and her walrus in cell 1 with the golem you made of their brat and Ms. Figg in cell 3 … and I put a few pots of Devil’s Snare right between them in cell 2 just to scare them. I told Dobby not to feed them until you say otherwise” Bellatrix smirked as she saw Lucius, Severus and Tom subtly glace at the stairs leading up stairs “go check on your future hubby, you know you want to” she snickered despite the three glares shot at her.
Narcissa chuckled as she leaned against Peter and Bellatrix laughed. It seemed Severus, Tom and Lucius couldn’t resist going upstairs after all. Tom gently opened the door, but the three wizards immediately panicked as they came in and saw that Harry wasn’t in neatly made bed.
“oh Merlin, where-” Lucius was silenced as Tom grabbed his arm and shushed him. Severus was about to snap at the horcrux when he saw what Tom was looking at. There in the darkness was a lump under the carpet. In complete silence the three wizards moved carefully towards it and their hearts broke at the sight of Harry sleeping restlessly on the floor using the carpet as a blanket.
After taking a very deep calming breath Severus used his wand to levitate the child to the bed where Lucius has pulled back the covers. With Harry now in the soft mattress Lucius tucked him in and placed a gentle kiss on the boy’s temple, which made Harry relax into a more peaceful sleep. In a tense silence they left the room, shut the door and made their way down the stairs.
Peter looked at them and knew something was very wrong “what’s wrong?”
“Harry … he was sleeping on the floor under the carpet” Lucius said as his voice cracked. He was trying so hard to hold back the tears.
Narcissa gasped “what?”
Tom nodded sadly “he made his bed too … what did those muggles do to him?”
“I intend to find out” Severus growled as he stormed towards the door that lead to the cellar with everyone hot on his heels. The hidden door behind the cellar wine rack opened and they all stopped in front of cell 1. Severus smirked cruelly as Petunia’s eyes widened in terror as she spotted him “ahh good to see you remember me Petunia. I need some answers and you’re going to give them to me” he pointed his wand at her and said “Legilimens” the muggle couldn’t scream for she was still under paralysis caused by Tom draining them, but you could tell Severus was making reading her memories as painful as possible. The very realistic Dudley golem whimpered
Ms. Figg paled as the potion master’s eyes turned from Petunia to her “you can’t do this! People will notice I’m gone and come looking-”
Severus ignored the woman’s pleas and pointed his wand at her with he same incantation. The woman writhed in pain for a minute before Severus pulled out of her mind letting her slump on the cold cell floor “it seems no one will get suspicious for a month. You already sent Dumbledore your monthly report. For now you’ll all learn why you shouldn’t torture a magical child” he said dangerously as he pointed his wand at Vernon.
Lucius smirked as pulled out his wand “lets begin now” Tom scowled, he wished he could participate. Wandless magic was easy for him unlike Voldemort, but he would lose his form if he used any more magic.
“HOLD IT” Bellatrix, much to everyone’s shock, stepped in and stopped them “I love tortue as much as the next person, but we need to think a moment …” her eyebrow twitched violently at the surprised looks she was getting “don’t look at me like that! We have horcruxes to hunt, the ministry idiots who stole Draco’s toy along with everything else to deal with, Harry needs constant care to recover namely potions, Dumbledore needs to be avoided and it’s getting late. Lets let them starve a little until we have less on our plate”
“you just want all the fun to yourself” Lucius grumbled as he lowered his wand. She had him the second she said Harry.
Bellatrix grinned “maybe. I’m borrowing your pensieve Lulu! Give me some memories Sevvy!” They went back upstairs making sure to plunge the prisoners into complete darkness. The two witches, two wizards and horcrux went into the dining room where the pensieve remained on the table.
The potion master grimaced at the nickname “fine … here” he pulled an empty vial out of his potions bag and touched his wand to his temple. A long silvery ribbon was pulled out of his head and placed in the vial.
“thanks Sevvy” exclaimed Bellatrix as she took the vial and the pensieve.
“a pensieve is not a hat!” Lucius snapped as Bellatrix flipped the stone bowl, which was already emptied of memories thanks to Peter and plopped it on her head.
Bellatrix cackled as she flounced into the fireplace and flooed back to the hideout so she can explain to the others what was going on. Since Peter only saved the most trustworthy people who believed Tom’s original goal of separating muggle world and magical world she knew they would be overjoyed to hear this … and will be eager to play with some muggles.
XXXXXXXXXX
Dumbledore scowled as his eyes skimmed a report “nothing worth noting … I was sure Voldemort would leave a horcrux with the Malfoys being that the manor’s wards are very strong and the family was loyal, but nothing … I’m missing something … maybe the search for the Death Eaters who escaped Azkaban will help. The Riddle brat was always such a pain. Even more so than that damn ghost”
A glimmer of the silvery form of a young ghostly student peeked in through the window before disappearing “Tom is ok! … good, I’ll forgive the soul splitting if he pulls himself together” Myrtle whispered happily. She had been worried for years. Since she was poisoned she stayed away from Tom so he wouldn’t be targeted too. After all she was the one who found and kept the letters so no one had a reason to suspect Tom, but Dumbledore did try to kill Tom just I case. Thankfully the Slytherin started checking everything he ate, drank and touched.
The extent of her living friend’s care was bordering on paranoia, but Myrtle was glad for that since this was Dumbledore they were up against. The headmaster all but admitted being the one who killed her when he tried to have her exorcised, but he can’t do so unless he finds the place she died. Though her body was found in the girls bathroom she died in the Chamber of Secrets, which no one can enter except snake speakers.
Granted the bastard cursed her so she couldn’t leave the castle or talk to people without his knowledge during school. He wasn’t strong enough to make the curse last all year, but that didn’t matter since no one stayed at Hogwarts during the summer. Even if she didn’t have he curse she wouldn’t tell. If she told anyone they would be in danger and besides … Who’d believe her when she claims Dumbledore is evil? … no one … Myrtle used the curse to her advantage at least and went around moaning, crying and being as annoying as possible knowing Dumbledore would hear everything. She even perfected the most annoying laugh just for the headmaster.
Isn’t she sweet? … don’t cross Ravenclaws …
Myrtle floated down through the floors and sat on the head of a giant basilisk “there’s good news Debora, Tom is alive. Lets hope he had some sense knocked into him” the massive serpent hissed in agreement.
