The thing that brought them together

Chapter 3: The missunderstanding

Two months had passed since the night Harry came to the Manor and he was now four months pregnant. He was quite happy living in the manor with Tom, the Lestrange family, and the Molfoys.

They had all been kind and treated him with respect. For once in his life he felt loved and like he belonged. The two girls had been nonstop teasing about him and Tom. He kept denying any kind of attraction for Tom, although it was getting harder and harder to avoid. Of course fate had to come and mess with his life once more.

Harry was walking to the Death Eater meeting and was in a  green puffy dress with lace all over the top and silk  on the bottom. He stopped suddenly when he heard his name being brought up between two Death Eaters one he knew. Rabastan and a middle class Death Eater were talking in an abandoned corridor.

" Of coarse the Dark Lord has good plans for Harry," Rabastan said nonchalantly. At first Harry was prideful then he heard the rest. " He just plans to get the baby for me and use Harry to stop  the light from winning the war. Without precious golden boy there is no way they will win." Harry felt heartbroken.

He ran to his room with tears in his eyes. He refused to let them fall because he will not show that anyone broke him.

He packed quickly and quietly. He only took his favorite and most comfortable clothes. Of course he took stuff for the baby that he would need latter. He didn't want them to send a search party out for him, so he wrote a note.

Dear Death Eaters,
I have decided to leave the manor and not return. I have found out y'all's plans to kill me after birth from certain Death Eaters. Although this is selfish a baby needs their mother. I will not spend all of your time writing meaningless heartbroken things so I will make this short.

Why did you just not tell me the truth? I still would have given you the baby and helped your side for the sake of my child. Don't worry you'll get what you want I shall not return to the 'light side' but stay gray.

I will give you our daughter 3 months after she is born. Yes I say daughter as I found out 2 days ago she was a girl. I will send a letter saying where she is after she is born. It is not safe nor wise to keep her with me for obvious reasons of you and the light trying to kill me or control me.

Lastly I would just like to say thank you. Even though it was all fake I did fell loved and that was the best I could ask for. At lest I know my child will be loved and brought up nicely. Tom I think Narcissa and Bellatrix were right, I think I do love you. Don't come find me as I said I will give our daughter to y'all's side. Just look for Hedwig she will give you all of my letters.

With hope,
Harry Potter.
When he deemed the letter good enough he left the wards and apparated to one of the Potter estates that were not taken over. He began setting up his home for a little over a week.

He knows he will need to be on the run. With both the light and dark side after him, he'll need to be good. He started thinking about the last paragraph of his letter. Did I make a huge mistake? Should I have told Tom how I felt? He was just acting so he is probably laughing at it right now. Oh how wrong he was.
At Malfoy Manor
Tom had just ended his meeting and went to look for Harry. He had not seen him since lunch and was wondering where he was. He did not push it to much as he was pregnant and could be having a sick day.

He had just made it up the stairs when he heard a chocked song from the floor. Tom was worried thinking it was Harry.

Going over to the sound he looked in Harry's room but found no Harry. All he saw was Narcissa on the floor clutching a piece of paper to her chest like it was a lifeline. In a way it was but not for her, for Tom.

Tom went over to her holding her and saying sweet nothings in her ear. When she calmed down she handed the letter to Tom without a word.

As Tom read the letter he went through different emotions. First he was sad, then shocked, lastly enraged. Enraged was an understatement for how he felt. His love just left without a word. And what Death Eaters said such scandalous words. They would for sure be punished. That can wait for now he needed his darling Harry back.

When the twins and Bellatrix walked in they were surprised to see a crying Narcissa and a lost Tom. He never showed emotions ever. They were scared to see both sights it could only keen one thing. Someone he loved is gone.

None of them had the guts to ask who left, but they could take a wild guess by the fact of who's room they were in and who was not there. When they finally realized what happened they were all deeply saddened.

When Tom finally proceeded everything he was determined to do one thing. Get HIS Harry back no matter what it takes.
