Voldemort knew it. They knew it, Harry knew it. Notes Note from SeparatriX, the archivist: this story was originally archived at HP_Fandom, which was closed for health and financial reasons. To preserve the archive, I began manually importing its works to the AO3 as an Open Doors-approved project in August 2016. I e-mailed all creators about the move and posted announcements, but may not have reached everyone. If you are (or know) this creator, please contact me using the e-mail address on HP_Fandom_collection profile. This is my first attempt at writing a proper slash scene. Please be brutally honest and tell me what you think. It was the middle of the final battle; the battle people had been waiting for, for years. By the end of the day, the battle would be won, by one side or the other. “Harry Potter.” The words were spoken softly, but everyone in the Great Hall heard them. Red eyes met green, and everyone paused in the middle of their fighting. The Order held their breaths. The Death Eaters tried to conceal their grins. “Hello Tom.” Until then, Harry had not been participating in the battle at all. The Order had told him to stay out until he was absolutely needed. They needed him to kill Voldemort when the time came. They knew the Death Eaters wouldn’t touch Harry... That would be their Lord’s job. Harry had just been leaning nonchalantly against the wall, watching the battle go on. Now, he pushed away from the wall and walked across the hall. All the people parted to let him past. As he walked by, several people nodded their heads, surreptitiously. He smiled. Soon it would all be over. He wouldn’t have to keep living as he had been. Nothing could stop him from doing whatever he wanted to do. He came to a stop in front of the Dark Lord. He had changed in appearance a lot, in the last three years. He had lost the snake-like appearance, gaining one that made him look like an older version of the Tom Riddle Harry had met in the Chamber of Secrets... How he would have looked if all of the re-birth stuff had never happened. They just stood there, gazing at each other. That is, until two voices yelled from one side, “Oh, just get on with it!” Harry and Tom both whirled around to glare at the two witches. Ginny and Bellatrix shrugged and grinned. Harry turned back to Tom, eyebrows raised. Shall we? We shall. They finished the distance between them in two quick strides. They were almost nose to nose. Soon, even this distance was gone as Tom lowered his head and caught Harry’s lips with his. The silence in the hall was deafening. None of the Order could believe their eyes. Their only thought was... When did this happen? X X X When did it all happen? For Harry, it all began when Sirius died. There was nobody left in the world that cared about him. Ron and Hermione only liked him because he was the boy- who-lived. Dumbledore only wanted to use him as a puppet; it was all about destroying Voldemort, Harry’s well-being didn’t matter. Remus was so busy grieving over Sirius by drinking himself into an early grave that he didn’t seem to realise that there are other people who would miss him too. Harry came to him that summer, begging to be killed. He wanted to die, but did not have the strength to do it himself. Voldemort just looked at the boy in front of him for a few moments before turning him away, telling him to come back when he knew what her really wanted. It took him nearly six months, but he decided. He was only caught once. He thanked Merlin it was only Ginny that caught him. Any of the others would have run straight to Dumbledore. Ginny just demanded to be involved. Harry was much more careful after that. Ginny and Bella became his best friends. Although it took quite a while for Harry to trust Bellatrix, it all started with a single conversation. X X X F L A S H B A C K X X X “Harry?” Harry looked up from the book he was reading to see Bellatrix in the doorway of the Library at Riddle Manor, where he was spending Christmas, under the pretence of staying with the Dursleys. She looked nervous. The two of them hadn’t been left alone together since the Ministry, where Harry had tried to crucio her after she killed his godfather. “I’m not going to say that I’m sorry, and that he needn’t have died,” she began. “I won’t cheapen his death or what we’re trying to achieve like that. I know what he meant to you, and I am very sorry that he is not in your life anymore.” Bella said honestly. She looked at the boy in front of her sadly. “Remember him as he was, Harry. I will always remember him as the five-year old that put itching powder in his own underwear by mistake.” She laughed. Harry laughed with her. “Thanks, Bella,” he said. X X X E N D F L A S H B A C K X X X Harry spent every possible moment at Tom’s manor since his defection to the dark side. (He insisted upon the use of the name ‘Tom’. Harry and Ginny were the only ones with that particular privilege.) Harry preferred it to spending time with his fame-hungry ‘friends’, his power-hungry headmaster and his alcoholic, depressed ‘Uncle’. It was the summer before seventh year when everything between Harry and the Dark Lord changed. X X X F L A S H B A C K X X X It was a Saturday. Harry had been seventeen for over a week now, and had been fully taking advantage of being overage by using magic whenever he could. Harry was in his room, practicing a parseltongue spell that Tom had taught him from one of Salazar Slytherin’s journal, when he happened to glance up to find Tom gazing at him from the other end of the room. “Hi Tom,” He smiled. “I didn’t hear you come in. How long have you been there?” Tom shrugged. “A while,” he answered. “I’ve been watching you work. Do you realise it has been exactly a year since you first came to me?” Harry realised it had. “So much has changed since then,” he reminisced. Tom nodded. “Indeed.” Harry put his book away. “It’s late,” he said. “I’d better get that dreamless sleep potion from Snape before he goes home.” Tom raised his eyebrows. “Dreams keeping you awake, Harry?” he asked. Harry nodded. “More and more frequently, as of late. I can’t seem to think hardly, at all during the day. I just keep thinking about...” He trailed off, blushing. Tom smirked and stepped closer to the teen. “Oh? What is it you are thinking about?” He brought his hand up to caress Harry’s face. Harry’s breath caught in his chest and his eyes fluttered shut. “/Is this what you dream about?/” He hissed quietly in Harry’s ear, causing him to shiver in anticipation as the harmony of the parseltongue washed over him. “/Or this?/” Tom’s thumb gently brushed the teen’s soft, full lips. He then removed his thumb and covered Harry’s lips with his own. Tom... Harry spoke through the connection between them. Tom smiled against Harry’s mouth. Yes, Harry? he sent back. “/Touch me, you fool!/” Tom grinned and complied, slipping his hand underneath Harry’s muggle t-shirt and brushing Harry’s nipples very lightly with his fingertips. Harry hissed between his teeth in response. Tom grabbed the bottom of the shirt and pulled it off of Harry completely, throwing it to the floor carelessly and stepping back to admire the toned muscles. Thank Merlin for Quidditch, he thought. He was brought out of his thorough appreciation of Harry’s torso by a rush of cool air. He looked down to see that all of his clothes were now missing and glanced at Harry to see him now sporting a sheepish look. “Sorry,” he apologised. His voice sounded breathy and not at all apologetic as he looked the Dark Lord up and down, eyes lingering longer in certain places, eyes aflame with desire. “I don’t seem to have grasped my control of wandless magic yet. I’m sorry,” he repeated. “Of course you are, my love,” smiled Tom amusedly. Tom likewise banished the rest of Harry’s clothes. “Say that again,” Harry sighed. He then moaned not a second later when Tom began trailing kisses along his jaw and hit a sensitive spot on his neck. “/Say what, my love?/” Tom hissed in Harry’s ear before nibbling on his earlobe. Harry didn’t get a chance to answer before Tom had moved and was now kissing him with such passion he felt as if the world was spinning around him. His hands reached up and his fingers tangled in Tom’s hair. Tom slid his hands down the length of Harry’s back and over round buttocks, seemingly memorising the shape of them with his hands, before lifting Harry up firmly but gently. Harry compliantly wrapped his legs around Tom’s waist, bringing their aching hard lengths into contact. They both moaned in appreciation. Tom walked towards Harry’s bed and laid Harry down on softly, before climbing on himself and settling between Harry’s legs. “Call me... call me...” Harry tried to get his sentence out, but kept getting cut off due to the fact that Tom had continued the path he had started earlier and was kissing his way down Harry’s chest, stopping to lavish attention on each nipple, flicking them gently with his tongue, first one, then the other. “...your love,” Harry finally managed to finish. Tom looked up from his task and met the penetrating green-eyed gaze. “You like that, do you? You like it when I call you my love?” he said softly. Harry nodded, and then gasped as he felt a slick finger breaching his entrance. Tom leaned forwards and whispered in Harry’s ear. “That’s good because you are mine, Harry Potter. No one else will ever kiss you like this-” He pressed his lips against Harry’s in a way that was tender, yet still belied passion underneath. “No one else will ever touch you like this-” His finger was now pressed in as far as the second knuckle and he slipped a second in. Harry saw stars as the finger met his prostate, arching his back and letting out a strangled yell. “No one else will ever love you as I do.” Harry kept his gaze on the older man, searching his face and finding nothing but truth there. He tilted his head up and captured those teasing lips in a tender kiss. The kiss deepened and Harry gasped into Tom’s mouth as a third finger joined the other two and started a steady rhythm, in and out of the tight channel, almost constantly hitting that spot that caused him to see stars. Just as Harry felt that he might come soon, he felt the removal of Tom’s fingers and groaned at the loss. Then Tom spread Harry’s legs wider, pushing them to his chest and Harry felt something bigger pressing into him. He hissed in pain at the burn he felt, which caused Tom to pause and caress Harry’s cheek softly. “It’s okay,” Tom soothed. “I promise it will get better. It will feel so much better.” Harry nodded hesitantly and Tom moved again slowly until he was buried to the hilt. He gave Harry a few moments to adjust to the feeling. Harry tilted his hips and pushed back slightly, encouraging Tom to move, which he did. Tom pulled out and slammed back in again, angling his thrust slightly so that he was sure he would hit his lover’s prostate. He was rewarded with another yell and did it again. He thrust in and out, quickly establishing a rhythm, with Harry meeting him thrust for thrust. When he felt that Harry was exceedingly close, he reached for his lover’s hard length and squeezed it firmly, two, three times, causing Harry to come with a soft scream. The contracting of Harry’s channel around Tom proved too much to bear as he came with a shout of, “Harry!” and collapsed. Tom quickly rolled off of his smaller lover so as not to hurt him and wandlessly cast a cleaning charm. “Love you,” Harry murmured sleepily as he snuggled closer to Tom’s warmth. Tom smiled gently at Harry before kissing his hair softly and murmuring, “I love you too, Harry.” X X X E N D F L A S H B A C K X X X The sound of two throats clearing forced Tom and Harry apart, slightly sheepish at almost getting carried away in front of the two armies. Harry addressed the Order. “You have lost. You have one hour to collect your dead and leave this castle. Anyone who wishes to join us must undergo our loyalty test. Anyone who does not must leave the wizarding world. There will be no more fighting.” The Order knew there was nothing else to do. This was Harry Potter. He had had enough training in the last few years, on top of the magical power he already had, to flatten them all within seconds without breaking a sweat. The light side had truly lost. Their last hope was gone. Please drop_by_the_archive_and_comment to let the author know if you enjoyed their work!
