Neither Can Survive (Tomarry)

Chapter Ten

"Crap, I'm late for breakfast," I mutter, limping down the stairs to eat in the manor one more time before I head back to school. My body is still weak, and I just want to go back upstairs and climb into bed. 

Before I came downstairs, I made sure to look at myself in the mirror. The mark Tom gave me from last night has scared over, surprisingly fast. It was the perfect mold of his teeth, and I couldn't help but shiver as I remember what happened last night. 

"Harry~" Tom purrs, coming up behind me. He grabs my hips, and kisses my head. I look up at him and notice that he also looks like shit. I grab his hand, noticing he also has a scar of my teeth too. Hedwig comes playing in with the Daily Prophet. Not surprisingly, it got out to the Wizarding World that I am dating Blaise Zambini, a Slytherin boy. 

"Looks like your famous, Harry," Draco smirks, taking a bite of his apple. 

"I've always been famous," I chuckle, studying him. "And you've always been weirdly into apples."

"Mmmmm," Is all he says as he exits the room. I swear, I need to warn Astoria about his apple addiction before they get married. 

Me and Tom sit in silence, eating our breakfast. It's only about ten am, and I wish to go back to sleep before I have to deal with the train ride back to school. Thankfully, the house elves are packing my things, so I can do just that. 

Me and Tom walk back up to our room together, and I'm so excited to go back to sleep. "I've got a surprise for you," He puts his hand up my shirt, his fingertips grazing the scar on my collar bone. I take a sharp breath, feeling heavenly. Our lips meet, but it's soft. Not like the night before. 

"I'm going to miss you,"

"You can visit me whenever you want, Tom," I chuckle, pulling in down so we're both lying down. 

"I know, it's not the same though," He huffs, sitting back up. "Okay, we need to have a plan, because we finally have the numbers to pull it off,"...

Our plan comes to life when I first step onto the grounds of Hogwarts. Tom's going to give me more nightmares and warning, which Dumbledore is going to ignore. 

Next; Me, Ron, and Hermione will go and search for Tom's horcrux's, which I will already know where they all are. However, they're all going to be fake, we hid the real ones in Malfoy manor. Once the Golden Trio gets back from our trip, we'll fight Snape and force him to give up his seat as headmaster. Tom will be hiding in the Forbidden Forest, which is when he'll send a message to the entire school to give me up.

Tom, or Voldemort, will pretend to kill me. He'll drag me to the battle field and dump my body at the feet of the light. Tom will probably put on a huge speech, showing off how he killed their savior, and how no one can save them now. 

That's when I'll jump back up, wand aiming at Tom. I'll say something all heroic, but then turn my wand to Dumbledore. I'll use the killing curse on him, and watch as everything turns to hell. We'll rec havoc on the people who thought I was going to save them from Voldemort, showing them I am not their savior. 

"Harry?" Mrs. Malfoy knocks at the door before coming in. I told her she didn't have to be so kind, as she was already letting me stay in her house. But she insisted, but I did get her to call me 'Harry'.

"Yes?" I ask, looking up from the book I wasn't really reading. I was going over and over the plan me and Tom made in my mind.

"Mr. Zambini is here to take you to his manor," I nod, putting the book down. I'm proud of myself, because after spending the entire winter holiday here, I almost have down where everything is. 

Blaise and Draco are speaking to each other when I finally make it down the stairs. "Blaise," I smile.

"Harry," He grins, running up to give me a huge hug. I pat him on the back, struggling to breath. I swear, this boy could kill with a hug. 

"Mrs. Malfoy, please tell Tom I'm off, and that he knows how to contact me," 

"Yes, of course," She smiles. "Have a great time at school, boys!"

"The house elves already put everything into Blaise's carriage. Thankfully, Blaise's mother was up front speaking to the drive, so I was able to freely speak to Draco and Blaise alone. 

"I really don't want to go back to Hogwarts, those Gryffindors have taken the life out of me."

"You should've chose Slytherin, Potty," Draco chuckles, spitting the last part. 

"Hey, I told you not to make fun of my Potty!" Blaise feins anger, putting a protective arm around me. I let out a long sigh, starring out the window. As much as I love the playful banter between the two friends, I can't stop thinking about how much longer I have with the other two...

*************************************

"Oh bloody hell mate, you look terrible!" Ron pulls me into the compartment that he and Hermione are currently sharing. "What did that snake do to you over the holiday?!"

"The snake has a name, and he didn't do anything. We just stayed up late last night," I huff, staring out the window. How did I ever deal with this when I was younger? Was I this bad? I must've been insane. 

We sat in silence, me and Hermione reading books. About half way through the train ride, and the snack cart rolled around, Ginny and Luna came to sit in the compartment with us. 

"So Harry," Ginny says, eyeing me. "What's the first thing you're going to do when we get back to school~"

"Probably go to the library, or just unpack everything." I look over at a different red-head. "Ron, how about you?"

"I'm going to see Lavender!" Ron said excitedly. 

"Of course," I fake a smile, trying to look like I'm actually enjoying whatever it was we were speaking about. In reality, I was waiting for Tom's signal. It's been hours, and we're almost at the school.

"Luna, where are your shoes?" Hermione asks. 

Luna looks down, her eyes full of wonder. "Oh, yes...Some of the other Ravenclaw's thought it would be funny to steal my shoes and hide them, I should go and look for them,"

"Let me help," Ginny gets up, and follows Luna out the the compartment. I always felt bad for Luna, everyone mistreats her just because she thinks differently than them.

My prince...It's time.

Suddenly, I'm not in control of my body. "Voldemort! It's Voldemort?!" Guys, it's...it's another vision!" I yell, falling onto the floor. The pain radiating through my body is almost too much to bear. It feels like my scar is being split open. 

"Harry?!" Hermione rushes over to me. Ron is just starring at me in shock, seeing that I did just scream "the dark lords" name. 

"He's....he, he's killing muggles,"

"Harry, mate, stop! You're causing a scene!" Ron yells, and I can sense anger in his voice. 

"Save them....save them! No!!" As fast as the pain came, it leaves. And with the pain, my consciousness follows, leaving my body a husk until I come back to.
