Darkness // Tom Riddle // Voldemort // (2.2)

This is his fault

Harry collapsed to the ground Dumbledore crouched before him

'You have lost old man.' Harry said before visions of his parents death of sirius's death of Cedric ran through his mind he was trapped in his head as he panting for breath.

'Harry?' Albus asked

'So weak so vulnerable' Voldemort said echoing in his head Harry, he was trapped in his own mind

'Harry it is not how you two are alike it is how you two are different,' albus assured him. Memories of all the good flashed his head when he saw his friends come up behind them all the good times brought him back

'You are the weak one and you have never known love or friendship.' Harry said

'that's a lie.' Voldemort hissed. 'I have Lula. I have always had lula, what have you had? Nothing,' he hissed. 'you parents are gone, your godfather is gone, soon you will join them.'

'and I feel sorry for you, all you have done you did out of rage for losing someone, but shes back and you are going to drag her down with you.' He was speaking directly to Voldemort their minds connected he saw flashes of Voldemort's own pain before, he saw flashes of Lula and her death, he saw the pain and darkness of losing Lula, time stood still as Harry lay on the ground Voldemort over him

'You are a fool Harry Potter' Voldemort said 'and you will lose everything'. He looked up seeing the aurors approaching they saw Voldemort, the aurors whispered it's him, hes back, before Voldemort disappeared .They had to believe Albus Dumbledore now, there was no denying it.

'He's back.' the minister declared. His voice a rasp as a flurry of worry fluttered through the minstery.

'That was quite the first year you had Professor Malfoy.' Dumbledore said come up behind her

'Yes it was wasn't it?' She smiled smugly at him

'I would like you stay on as defense against the dark arts professor' he informed her.

'you want me to stay?' she questioned disbelieving her ears, this could be another trip trap of some sort trick.

'Yes I want you to stay because you are an extraordinary witch and I feel that you could have a lot to offer the students... they could learn a lot under your tutelage.' Albus assured her.

'I gratefully accept I will do right by the students.' There was still much work to be done at Hogwarts. She needed the students on her side now more than ever. She knew harry and his friends were not going to be happy but she could easily convince the Slytherin students, hufflepuff were usually easily manipulated and ravenclaws used their brains they would see that this was a losing battle unless they joined Tom and her.

'Neither can live with the other one survives. That means one of us is going to have to kill the other in the end.' Harry remarked.

'Yes' Dumbledore said

'Why didn't you tell me?'

'Same reason why you tried to save sirius and your friends tried to save you.' Albus told him, 'after all these years after all you have suffered, I did not want to cause you more pain. I care too much about you.'

'Potter?' Lula stepped onto the dorm.

'Professor Malfoy, I was just leaving. Have a good summer Harry.' Albus said walking past her.

'Potter...' lula repeated sitting down across from him. 'You know this is all his fault right?' harry looked over at her. 'Albus? The man you so highly praise... he did this. He turned tom into the villain,' lula reminded him. 'albus got your parents killed. Albus is going to get you killed as well.' Harry sat silently. 'nothing to say? Your father was a right shit, never stood up for himself either, not when it came to me.' lula smirked. 'Black's death is on our hands.' lula told him standing up and taking threatening steps forward. 'Sirius black died trying to save you from an un savable battle.' She gripped his chin in her hand. 'Your parents died, following Albus, don't go down the same path. Don't drag all your friends down with you. Because harry potter. You . will. Lose.' She dropped his chin turning on her heel. 'Have a spectacular break...' she smirked back at him. 'I will see you in the fall.'
