CEP's POV

Harry brushed Voldemort's office's bookcases with the toothbrush in silence.

"You are never this quiet. Are you still mad at me?" Voldemort's voice asked from where he was by his desk reviewing students' homework.

"Peter saw me in Sirius' wedding." Harry pointed out and Voldemort hummed questioningly as his quill scribbled. Damn... whoever that student was, had lots of typos. "Saw my bad reaction." He amended.

"It was a reaction provoked by a curse you activated, even Dumblefool can tell that." Voldemort soothed down as he set the parchment to the side and started on a new one.

"At my Muggle relatives I lived in a cupboard under the stairs..." the older hummed but looked to only be half-listening. "I fear tight spaces." That made the older finally look up from the paperwork he had to grade. "I kept seeing the walls falling on me. That's why I held onto you. You are tall. Before they'd fall on me..."

"I would have felt it and stopped it." Voldemort agreed as he stared back surprised. "We will need to deal with it one of these days."

"Done." Harry heard really far away as through cotton on his ears.

Struggling with his breath, he held onto this tall person who kept the world from collapsing over him. He heard a sigh and then he was pulled up, his legs jumped up and around the other's hips, before he was carried to a chair where the tall man held him in his arms. It took him way too long to realize that he was in Voldemort's lap, hugging the older with his legs. He raised his face from the older's chest embarrassed, to find the older had returned to the essays he had to check.

"I'm sorry. I was in a labyrinth before I moved with the Malfoys. It had curses and creatures out to strike me. Since then, and the other people being struck left and right, I have been unable to enter a labyrinth. I immediately hear their screams. I..."
