Animal Instincts

Setting Up

*A friend of mine who I am writing another fanfiction with in my group has asked me to publish it for him on my account for a bit. Don't know why. But I read through it and hope it's okay to read. I am not to perfect on gramar. But enjoy!*

The softness of layer that Harry woke up on was confusing, not at all his bed at the Dursley's it was so warm and comfortable. He never wanted to leave. He only felt this at Hogwarts, up in the tower. As his mind gather consciousness he sensed it was a magical home he was in. It wasn't Hogwarts but it felt as old as the ancient school.  He tried to come up with how he got here but nothing came to mind, he was reading under his blanket and now he is here. But where is here?

"So you are awake," murmured a softly compelling voice of a person that obviously knew him since there was a familiarity in the tone. He turned around and was confronted with a heartbreaking magnetic dark hair man with eyes that were bearing down into his very soul. 

Harry sat up on the bed, the room was fairly large, decorated in greens. Harry did find himself enjoying the way the colors seem to lighten him. He looked back at the man knowing he should recognize him, Harry shook his head. He knew that he should recognize the man but can't place him. Nothing seemed to make sense right now. 

Voldemort smiled see Harry was confused, something he made sure would happen first hand. Before the rest of his plan fell into place. A Cunfundus does wonders trying to keep a very sprited person at bay. "You have just woken it is alright if you are confused." 

Harry nodded, it made sense to him. Harry looked back at him and his red eyes "I'm sorry but do I know you?" 

Voldemort smiled knowing it worked, step one complete. "My name is Tom, you have been in a serious accident and I took you in."

Harry's brow flared it didn't make sense he was..... Harry thought long and hard but now nothing came up. Harry was his name but their was nothing after that. At first it was alarming but as he heard Tom talk he calmed down. This was the one who helped him. 

"....As I was saying this is your room and a balcony but that is all you may have as of right now. You will be taking your medicine along with your food which I will join you for all of your meals. The books are also free for you." The man finished as Harry nodded taking in the rest of the room. "If you do need to talk to me or need my help just knock on that door it is my study which I work during the day." 

"Um where am I?"

"At my manor," Voldemort answered "I am glad to see you are doing better. I will be back with your meal. Again make your self at home." With that he watched the man leave the room. 

Slowly Harry got out of the bed, a bit reluctantly but did, he walked through books upon books. He wondered if he was a reader. 

Voldemort hid the smirk as he sat in his throne waiting for the meeting to commence. He was just informing his top command of his plans and he will be continued to hidden from the world. "Ah Severus, Lucius" they both walked in with my lord and stood before him "I have a plan as your both are aware with the knowledge of the boy. He is secured in his chambers and awaits for the first potion. I am informing you that I am to be hidden from the world until then. Severus tell the old man that Harry will be staying with me indefinitely."

"My Lord, it is done" Severus acknowledged.

"Lucius you are to keep tabs of the papers, and Fudge. Keep me informed. Harry Potter also from this day is gone. The boy would need the potions Severus so you would need them ready."

"My Lord what is it with the boy you wish to have?"

"I killed the Potters, that night not Neville's. Dumbledore got it mixed up Harry Potter is my Horcrux, the true boy who lived. Not the Longbottom boy. That is why I made sure to have his name in the cup not Neville. I will have the boy as my custody, Potter has barley any funds left from Dumbledore's run of things and Neville is not powerfully strong as much as Harry. He will make a fine familiar for the coming war."
