The Not so Dark Hours (Tomarry)

CHAPTER 8

My body aches. Everything is black, my mind buzzing.

I open my eyes, gaze locking with blood red. Voldemort.

Wait... Hold up! How did this happen?

Oh right!

-Flashback-

"Harry my boy, would you mind joining me in my office?" I inwardly roll my eyes at how he addresses me. I'm everything but his boy.

It's been several weeks since Professor Miler began teaching here and so much has happened. First off he and I became good friends outside of lessons, he is pretty close to my age after all. I got over him relatively quickly the more I got to know him.

I think there is a pattern to the men I developed crushes on, they all look and act similarly: Sharp, aristocratic, chocolate hair, the smirk, and the sarcasm. Not that I know why that is.

Also, I found out that Todd (A/N Professor Miler) actually has a boyfriend, or, as of now fiancé. I am so happy for him! It was a big step, and he and Soleyman had some extreme ups and downs in the past.

In the meantime I also learnt to somewhat control my animagus form and have had a new leaf in my mouth for about three and a half weeks now, although I've been having this tingling lately, which can only mean that Voldemort is on the move. What move I'm not sure, but it's something big, but back to the enervating headmaster before me.

"Ummm, of course sir." I answer after multiple moments of silence. He smiles tightly and it seems even more fake than usually.

"Wonderful." In his office stands Professor Snape, looking like someone declared to him that he had to work in a kindergarten over the summer. "Harry, you know that Professor Snape here is a spy for Voldemort, right? Either way, he found out some game-changing information! Apparently Voldemort has developed an 'appetite' for a certain young hero so to speak." If this is going where I think it is then I am literally out. Yeah no, if he thinks I will try to convince Voldemort to join the light side then he is horribly mistaken.

"And what does that have to do with me?" I ask, already scared of the answer, however Dumbledore's answer is far worse than what I had suspected:

"Don't you see my boy? If you met with him and wrapped him around your finger you could convince him to join the Order easily! You are a charming boy after all. You must do whatever it takes, you understand that, right Harry?" Snape looks like he's having a stroke and I'm pretty sure I just bloody vomited in my mouth. Did my headmaster really just tell me to whore myself out to the Dark Lord?! I can feel bile rising up my throat and start backing out only to bump into an invisible barrier.

"No thank you! I haven't quite lost my mind yet headmaster! Did you ever stop to think that this might just be a trap you are easily falling into?" I speak angrily. That old coot must have lost his mind. Harriet is slithering around my torso, agitated and mad that she can't do anything without revealing herself. Maybe she should, at least petrified Dumbledore can't come up with such wacky plans.

"Harry, I don't like that tone. You will go to Voldemort with Snape. This could stop a war from happening, or do you want what happened to Sirius to happen to any of your other friends?" Dumbledore asks, eyes twinkling. I can't believe that he's trying to guilt-trip me into whoring myself out to a snake like, non-human, nutty being. But before I can try and get away the spell hits me and everything goes black.

-End of flashback-

As I continue gazing up at my nemesis' eyes I can't help but feel like maybe it isn't bad that I'm away from that nutter now. At least Voldy seems to have gotten his old body back. The pregnant silence is starting to make me uncomfortable so I clear my throat and say:
