Harry knows that the fate of the Wizarding War resides with the information Dumbledore has entrusted him with, but can he survive long enough to relay to someone else? On the night of Professor Dumbledore's death, Harry is captured and brought before Voldemort.  The Dark Lord is very interested to find out where Harry was that night and will stop at nothing to force the truth from him. 

This started out as a one-shot, but I decided to split it up into a few short chapters. Really, I was just in the mood to write a torture fic. Hope you guys enjoy!

During the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry goes into the Forbidden Forest to surrender his life to Voldemort. When the Dark Lord tries to kill him, they both get knocked unconscious. Harry wakes up first and, owing to Dumbledore's Pensieve trips showing Harry Tom Riddle's miserable childhood, Harry instead decides to Apparate away and deliver Voldemort to the Ministry to be imprisoned, like Dumbledore did with Grindelwald. The Ministry, however, chooses to execute the Dark Lord. Twelve years later, Harry is suffering. His magic is unhinged and he doesn't feel right, but when he stumbles upon a horrific scene in a cell at the Ministry, suddenly he comes back to himself. Voldemort is being tortured by the Ministry of Magic and no one but his three guards and the Minister knows about his existence. They are keeping his life a secret because they are unable to kill him and his power is such that they know he will not be able to be contained forever. Harry is left struggling with the many shifting ways to do the right thing and the changing question Notes: This is a DARK STORY in four parts with many triggers. Please read the tags and warnings. It starts dark, the middle is dark, and there are many dark bits near the end- but there IS a happy ending, I promise. I have spent almost two years writing, reading, and editing this, but I had no beta so I apologize for any mistakes you might find. This is a story written mostly for myself, giving me exactly what I wanted to read. I wanted to see Voldemort victimized. I wanted to play with angst and trauma and impossible choices. I fully expect to get flamed for this. Heed the tags. Thanks for reading.

I ABANDONED THIS STORY YEARS AGO AND AM CURRENTLY WORKING ON RE-WRITING IT TO THEN FINISH. The new vs old chapters will be labeled. After the war Harry distances himself from everyone, feeling empty. He spends a year in solitude, only writing letters to communicate. When he's finally drawn from Grimuald Place by the Weasleys, Hermione appears at his front door with urgent and unsettling news. Harry realizes the hidden horrors of his years at Hogwarts and, together, with the help of Hermione, the two formulate a plan to redeem it all. Though, when it all goes sideways, Death shows himself to Harry, his master, and offers him a once in a lifetime opportunity. Will he take it?
