Harry Potter and the Embrace of the Darkness
By: Dark Embrace
Disclaimer: I own Hizashi, and her family, the others I don\'t own,
Warnings: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Spoilers!! Really, All Books. But this is MY plot. I am using the stuff the Books, but I made twist it in a few places to have what I want to happen in it,
Notes: This is also mixed with my other story.
Summary:
As the darkness fell over both Magical and Muggle worlds, people found themselves unable to trust their own family much less a person from the streets. The Misty Fogs thicken as Voldlemort attacked Muggles and Witches alike to grain power. Death was seen at every turn. With Dumbledore gone, it seemed that all hope was gone and no one would be able to live through this. No one was informed of what Harry Potter, The boy-who-live, was up to, or where he was.
In the Darkness, Harry Potter stayed at the unwelcome home of the Durslys until Harry turned of Age. He was out that very night he turned too. Heading to the Weasley\'s home to go to the wedding between Bill Weasley and Fleur Deleacour. It was the only happy thing to happen for the summer, and has Harry thought about it as he danced with Ginny Weasley, perhaps the last one he will ever have.
The thoughts of The remaining horcruxes; the Slytherin pendant, Hufflepuff\'s Cup, Something of Gryffindor\'s or Ravenclaw\'s, The Snake Nagini, and Voldemort. Who R.A.B. was, and Dumbledor\'s death was ruling his life. Soon after getting back to the Dursley\'s he had started training in every way he could to better himself... Going through book after book for spells, potions, and everything else to help him learn anything to help in the fighting. He had even gone and got some different clothes, finding the stuff he was wearing either too big (\'cause it was from the Dursley\'s) or getting too small.
Pairings: HarryxGinny, SnapexOFC, HermionexRon, and maybe a twisted pairing here and there.
Reviews:
Niki- Good. I like the ideas and the flow of the story. Well... for the most part. It does need one thing; a beta. There are a lot of simple spelling mistakes like \"trunk\" and \"truck\" or \"crack\" and \"creak\" that spellcheck won\'t pick up.
Padfoot-Fanfic looks great, I especially like how Snape is written *evil grin* I truly hate Harry, most of the time, however at the moment I did want to give him a hug... if he wasn\'t starting to smell a little as you say. *holds nose and gives him a one armed hug* Over all, wonderful! *eats fanfic*
Mishra- Nice job Dark,
I\'m really interested now, but please add a few more paragraphs to your story, it\'s hard to read. If you need a betareader just send me the stuff via E-Mail.
And hurry up with the next chapter :)
Review replys:
Niki- ^.^;; The only things I have is the Spell Check on AOL and the one in Text Pad... I hate the Text pad one though... But I have always had problems with that kind of thing. Maybe if you can tell me where I can get a Beta? I wouldn\'t mind having one... Sounds like something I really need seeing as I like to *try* to write stories alot. >.>;
Padfoot- lmao. Harry is very easy for me to do that with. It\'s the reason he is the only Canon I roleplay (other then Draco at times) I role-play. And everyone, Padfoot here is the one who role-plays the Snape in this story and the \'Forbidden Love\' story. He is very fun to role-play with. >D
Mishra- There are a LOT of paragraphs in that chapter... but Again, if one can point me TO a Betareader, I would be every glad. and thank you for the offer... But I\'ll stick with Text pad until I can get one of my own.
Thank you all for Reviewing! ^.^

Chapter One: Mornings.
It took a few minutes for her mind to remember why she was feeling so warm, safe and happy as in her half-asleepness she slowly started to wake up. Before she would open her eyes, however, a soft whisper of Japanese slipped from her lips and the spell for her eyes was up again. Opening her silvery eyes, she looked at Snape, and smiled softly.
Giving a small reluctant sounding sigh when he felt her wake, not opening his eyes yet seeming to think if he could stay pretending that he was still asleep it would be that way for real. Knowing it wouldn\'t work however he finally gave in though still keeping his eyes shut even when he started to speak quietly and a little tiredly. \"Is that elf of your going to be around the house doing things yet?\"
She blinked slightly and then smiled, with a shrug of her shoulders she spoke softly. \"Maybe, why?\" She shifted around a bit and wrapped her arms around his waist as she watched him.
Content with moving closer to her as well for the moment as he answered. \"I can\'t stand those little things, I\'ve had...\" He paused thinking of the right word. \"Bad experiences with them, and I don\'t want to be surprised by one lurking in the corner of the bathroom or something equally as disturbing.\"
\"Za for the most part just stays in the Kitchen.\" She shrugged and then smiled. \"The only reason I have her is because Mom wouldn\'t let me come here without her.\" She smiled. \"For some reason my Mother didn\'t think I would be able to take care of myself.\"
\"Personally I think you\'d do perfectly fine on your own.\" Looking to her now as he tried to hide a yawn making a funny face that was unintended before continuing. \"It\'s rather dangerous to keep those things around you know.\" His tone was serious even if his words sounded rather funny to most.
She smiled and then nodded. \"I plan on having her return to Japan soon... I have a feeling Mother could use her more then I can.. In which I don\'t think Za will be happy about it..\" She shrugged and then sighed. Really, she just didn\'t think it would be save here for the Elf, since Hizashi was so caught up in the whole Order stuff, and not this.
\"Perhaps your mother would like to have the same protection I was offering for you last night. You wouldn\'t have to worry about house elves any longer ether, there are squib servants that are far more trustworthy and efficient then elves.\" Letting his eyes fall shut once more as he tried to move closer into the soft bed. \"That would be for the rest of your family as well if they would want it.\"
She smiled and then shrugged. \"You forget, me and the rest of my family don\'t get along. But we\'ll see.\" She left a hand and touched his cheek softly. Really she didn\'t want to have anything thing to do with the Hakai family unless it was her Brother and Mother.
Letting his eyes drift part way open he looked at her with a soft smile, nuzzling back against her hand when she placed it against him. \"Can I ask you something with getting assured its a truthful answer?\"
She blinked and then nodded at him. \"Yes, You can. Not that I have ever lied to you to start with.\" She watched him, awaiting the question. Wondering what kind of question he would ask that he would think she would lie about.
\"Its not that I think you\'ll lie, I\'m just unsure if you\'ll answer without leaving a few parts out.\" He paused for a moment unsure if he should ask or not. \"There was someone in the past who hurt you? Was it someone that you knew who they were?\"
She stiffened at the questions and then sat up, her eyes clouding over with pain as she tried not just to bolt from the room. \"... Yes... To both questions. And there were more then just one.\" She smiled sadly at him as she looked down at him. \"If... If you wish to know, I will... I will try to tell you..\"
Looking a little upset, though not at her for a moment when he could tell even without trying to force it from her mind that it wasn\'t something very pleasant. Moving to sit as well he slid his arm around her pulling her over to him, his other hand running softly against her arm. \"No don\'t talk about it unless you want to. I just wish to know who it was?\"
She easily returned to his arms with the pull, her body snuggling into his as she nuzzled her face into his neck. Not answering his question yet, as she asked her own. \"May I ask the reason you wish to know?\"
Holding her as near as he could but frowning slightly at her question not answering it right away. \"To anyone else I would lie and call it simple curiosity.\" Glancing down to her he gave a small sigh. \"I intend to find them and hurt them in an equal or greater way then they hurt you.\"
She looked up at him and then smiled lightly. \"Sev... I plan on taking care of them, myself.\" She shrugged and then snuggled closer. That was the truth, she did. \"Though... I want to tell you... What they did..\"
\"Are you sure that you\'ll be able to do what needs to be done to them?\" He paused at her next words unsure if he wanted to know or not, knowing that if he knew what they did for sure, and he had his ideas on the matter, that he was unsure if he would be able to not hunt them down. \"If you wish to speak about it.\"
She nodded and then smiled. \"I hope I do.\" She snuggled against him and then sigh. \"I... Want to... I just don\'t know how to...\" Maybe it was better that way anyways? Not telling him? But she knew she needed to speak of it... it would help him understand her a little better.
Not wanting to press the issue ether way he stayed quiet for a moment, the arm that was looped around her holding her just as near, his other hand moving to run gently over her hair. \"Later perhaps? Let\'s have something to eat first, you said the elf should be in the kitchen right now correct?\" Regardless of his phobia he was unwilling to pass up something that might help her get her mind off of things.
She nodded and then smiled at him. \"Okay...\" She looked at him and then kissed his lips softly. Hugging him tightly. Pushing the hunting memories from her mind for now.
\"Alright good.\" Returning the kiss and keeping that one arm around her middle. \"Why don\'t we call for your elf then? You are hungry right now aren\'t you?\"
She smiled at him before nodding. \"Sure.\" She smiled and then moved slightly. She grinned. \"I am. Are you?\" She could wait if he wasn\'t. It didn\'t bother her.
Smiling lightly at how it seemed she was feeling better now that they weren\'t talking anymore about what happened. \"I\'m sure I wouldn\'t refuse food if it was here.\"
She giggled and then nodded. \"Okay then.\" She called for Za in Japanese as she moved to grab her tank top and put it on. She ever liked the house elves to see her without clothes. odd as that sounded. \"What would you like, Sev?\" She looked at him as the Elf entered the room and bowed.
Trying not to show visibly his discomfort with the elf being there, but becoming a little tense when he looked over to it. \"I\'ll have some fruit maybe if you have it, and water.\" Looking away from the small creature and back to her.
\"That sounds like a good idea.\" She looked at the Elf, and nodded, as the elf left the room to get the food. Hizashi moving to snuggle back against Sev, smiling at him. as her arms moved back around him.
Wrapping his arms around her and relaxing once the Elf left he smiled slightly at her and speak. \"So, have you thought about what I told you last night about the Protection? Do you know if you will take it?\"
\"I have...It would seem that if I don\'t then If the Dark Lord wins I would be killed because I was helping the Order... But if I take the Protection then the Order would see me as betraying them... Of course being with you would too, so I just I am suck with that.\" She smiled as she thought this over. \"I will Take the Protection though... Then All we\'ll have to worry about is if someone founds you.\"
Severus smiled, happy that she would take the protection. \"Good, but don\'t worry about me, I have a lot of Wards on my home and me for all that... Plus I am not going to be fighting anymore.. With all I have done for the Lord, I have earned an... Early retirement if you will.\" He smiled at the small joke.
\"I know, but I don\'t want to lose you.\" she sighed and watched the elf bring in the Food before grabbing a few things as the elf left and eating them. \"you may offer the Protection to my Mother and my Brother but not the others... They aren\'t going to be around that much longer anyways.\" anger flashed through her before she calmed. \"I plan on going to Japan in a little while, to deal with a few things.\"
\"I can have a few people I trust completely to go with you and then bring your mother and brother back and hide them. Or I could go with you....\" He smiled at her.
\"I would like it if you went... but I want to tell you everything before I go... That way you understand why I am going and why I will do what I am going to do.\" She smiled softly and then grabbed an apple and take a bite of it. \"but Let\'s finish eating first. that way it\'ll give me time to think on a good way to tell you about it.\"
He nodded lightly exchanging the piece of fruit for a glass of water, taking a drink before setting it down once more. \"No matter what you do, even if I\'m not given a reason I will stay by your side.\" Going to pick up something else to eat he leaned back into the bed a little. \"It\'s not as if you can do much that would offend me anyway.\"
She smiled and nodded before just cuddling on him again... not hungry anymore and still slightly tired. She was never really a Morning person, even if she did have the habit of getting up at five o\'clock in the morning at times. \"Okay.\"
Finishing what he had already bitten off he put down what he was eating so he could pull her closer, not wanting to give up the chance to have her near even with them sitting in bed together like they were. \"Now if you were to fill a room with house elves and push me in it then I might get a little upset at you.\"
She smiled and then shook her head, looking up at him. \"I wouldn\'t do that unless you made me mad first.\" She smirked and then kissed his neck. \"Honesty I like have Za around, but I dislike the other house elves... Za was there when I was born and my playmate for the longest.\" She smiled at a small memory.
He frowned lightly at her threat. \"There\'s nothing I could do to deserve that.\" Unable to hide the little smirk that came to his lips when she kissed him. \"That one is... acceptable, and being that our food wasn\'t poisoned I like it even more now.\"
She shook her head. \"I wouldn\'t put you in a room filled with house elves.\" She looked at him and smiled, nodding. \"I\'ve really missed you.\" She kissed his cheek before just smiling at him.
\"Thank you.\" Answering quite truthfully to her as he really didn\'t want to be put there. \"I\'ve missed being around you too.\" Putting his other arm around her now so there was a guaranty she couldn\'t get to far away.
She smiled as she land her head on his chest and sighed happily... her eyes closing and her body relaxing completely against him.
Leaning back against the pillows the rest of the way and looking down to her as she relaxed, content on just watching her for a while, not wanting to do anything to disturb the way she was at the moment. One hand absently going to run up and down her arm.
She smiled and laid like that for a minute before starting to use a finger to draw lazy circles on his chest. \"So... What would you like to do? I am up to anything.\"
\"Hmm...\" Shutting his eyes for a moment as he thought about it. \"Well it has to be something indoors, here, away from windows, and no magic.\" Looking back to her with a look of defeat.
She blinked and then smiled. \"Sooo... that\'s just about anywhere but outside... and the Study.\"
\"Yes no outside until I finish learning some more magic, then we can go into the ministry of magic if we want to.\" Shutting his eyes again for a moment. \"We could always just stay in bed all day.\"
She smiled. \"Works for me. I don\'t mind.\" She smiled and hugged him. \"In bed we stay. Tomorrow I\'ll show you the house... and then we can think of something then. kay?\"
Pulling her close or at least trying to pull her closer, staying quiet for a few minutes. \"If there\'s something you would like to do, we could do something other then sleep.\"
She shrugged. \"Well... Could we tie you down?\" She was of course teasing him. \"Or we could talk... It doesn\'t matter to me.\"
\"No not that right now, maybe tomorrow night when I\'ve had sometime to get may strength back.\" His words were said in jest but he kept his voice even as he said it, the smirk on his lips the only thing to give it away. \"What would you like to talk about?\"
She giggled and then kissed his lips softly. \"Mmm... Will the Dark Lord even be willing to protect me with me being in the Order?\" She seemed to be thinking on all this.. She wasn\'t have second thoughts... but Really... What happens then?
\"The Dark Lord is a very understanding person, when it comes to particular people. If I ask it no matter what you do he will protect you. It is not guaranteed for you to be unhurt, but not to any point that you would not recover easily.\" He paused for a moment to look at her. \"And anyone out of the order would be guaranteed safety, like your family.\"
She nodded and then frowned and the \'family\'... It seemed the longer she put off talking the more and more it bugged her.. Her head tilted she looked at him. \"Please don\'t call them that. Anything but, just not that.\" She looked to her lap as her eyes slide close.
He gave a small nod, understanding, though not fully but to some extent as to why anyone wouldn\'t address blood relation as such. \"You should have met my parents... on the other hand, not really. They were really something else. My father in particular, I doubt the man ever really understood what his title really entailed him to do.\" Giving a small shrug, slightly unsure as to why he shared that with her, but hoping that it helped a little for her to know it was alright.
She smiled lightly as she opened her eyes and looked at him. \"My father is an idiot who is easily controlled... His weak and...\" She paused before looking back to her lap. \"My Grandmother uses him and Her own husband in ways that one should never use their family.\"
He gave a small \'hmmm\' carefully listening to what she had to say. \"Families are interestingly odd in that way aren\'t they?\" Tilting his head to the side as he continued. \"Did she hurt everyone in the same way?\"
She bite her lower lip. \"Kind of.. She made my Father sleep with her and then beat my mother and hurt her... with knifes and things... Then My Grandfather she makes do things like that too... She makes them both rape My brother, Myself, and when they were alive my little sister and my Best friend. then she raped them and killed them... She killed her own sister... She... She hired people to try to kill me... and my mother....\"
Watching her carefully as he listened to her words, part of him wanting to hold and protect her, wanting to take back what she said had happened, the other part wanting to leave at that moment to Japan with five of his most trusted deatheaters. Quickly going to his original thought as he already said he was going to wait to go with her to Japan he tightened his grip around her. \"You should let me kill her.\"
She snuggled into his arms and then made a soft sound... it sounded like a bit of a snort. \"Sorry Sev... I am going to be worst then kill her... My Father and My grandfather with face a lesser fate, but they will get wants coming to them.\" The looked that crossed her face was twisted in hate and anger and then... it just went blank. \"The only reason I am apart of the Order is because in the last time My grandmother Hired someone to kill me, which I was inches from it when Dumbledore came... He saved me... The year before He had been trying to get me to come over to the Light side, so when He saved him, He told me That I was to work for the other to repay him.\"
He nodded lightly, being silent for a long moment before speaking again. \"Are you sure you\'ll be able to do what will be needed to be done to them? I know people who have done things before, things that I\'m sure you would find as suitable punishment.\"
She looked at him. \"I am not going to kill them... It would be too easy. I am going to make them see everything they made me go through and see... I am going to make them feel everything they have done to me. and then... I\'ll strip them of the Hakai Name and make them forgot the Hakai ways and the Magics we have to study, and everything else... They are going to lose the very thing they cling to.\"
Nodding at her words he waited for her to finish. \"I\'ll go with you to make sure you\'re safe when you do this, I\'ll have a place for your mother and brother to go if you wish it. They will be safe for you, you wont have to worry.\"
\"I would like that.\" She smiled lightly at him and then closed her eyes again... Her depression was slowly starting to overtake her as memories came in waves over her mind.. The Emotion was always the hardest to control... unless when she needed to control them.. She Hated it... She just didn\'t want Sev to know that it hard to think about what her family did...
Seeing how it was starting to affect her he pulled her near again, running a hand gently over her arm, the other hand taking one of her hands in his. \"Lets talk about something else, anything else. Maybe um...\" He paused trying to think of something other then how much he wanted to attack her family. \"Do you think I should get a pet?\"
She snuggled into his arms and then blinked before giggling softly. \"A Pet?\" She looked at him with a smile. \"What kind of pet are you thinking about?\"
He shrugged lightly. \"Something small, not to furry, definitely not a dog...\" He paused for a moment thinking on it. \"I hate cats. I\'d stop feeding a rat if I had one, but I can\'t very well have an animal in a tank. And I don\'t trust birds.\" Tilting his head slightly as he looked to her curious as to if she could come up with something.
She blinked and then just shook her head. \"That leaves out just about everything Sev!\" She smiled. \"Well... But Ferrets...\" She was grinning now, thinking as the Draco-ferret, it was funny that Sev turn Draco into a ferret \'cause he was hitting on her.
Nodding in agreement at first and then stopping to look at her when she said the particular animal, a smirk of his own crossing over his lips as he started laugh. \"I could get a little white one the looks upset all the time, and goes around biting people toes for me.\" He stopped laughing, suddenly looking very serious. \"He will have to be an evil ferret.\"
She couldn\'t help the fit of laugher that spilled from her... Her body shaking softly as she nodded... Slowly calming down. \"And what would you name your evil Ferret?\"
He paused for a minute to think on this and then spoke clearly. \"Ferret.\" He smiled, and looked at her. \"I shall call him Ferret.\"
She rolled her eyes and then shook her head, muttering something in Japanese before saying \"Why Ferret?\" She tilted her head. \"If it\'s going to be an evil ferret, why not name it \'little demon?\' Or something like that?\"
He shrugged again, looking a little defensive. \"What\'s wrong with calling it ferret? He\'ll never get confused as to what he is if I call him that.\" Thinking about her name for it however it did sound a little better if he was going to be an evil animal. \"Fine I\'ll call it little demon ferret.\"
She smiled and then nodded. \"It has a better ring to it.\" She moved and kissed his cheek. \"Once you are able to go outside, we\'ll go look for an evil ferret for you if you wish?\"
He smiled happily, finding himself in an oddly playful mood. \"He\'ll need evil toys as well, I\'ll find someone to make him a half size wand.\" Nodding a few times and then looking back to her. \"Do you want a semi evil pet perhaps?\"
She smiled and then shrugged. \"I don\'t know... If I do, Maybe I\'ll get a Ferret too?\" She snuggled against him, smiling. \"Then they can gang up on someone\'s toes...\" She smirked lightly at him.
\"Wonderful idea, we can train them to be attack ferrets, as long as we have to fight people who don\'t wear shoes we could easily use them to take over the world in mere days.\" Nudging her lightly as he moved back into the bed a little. \"We\'ll need little muzzles for when we take them for walks and beware of ferret signs on the doors.\"
She giggled softly as he went on about the Ferrets..for some reason seeing A white one and then a Black one in her mind... It was the White one though that would make her shake her head... It looked like Draco did when he was transformed into one by Snape.
\"I\'m sure we could always have fun torturing the younger Malfoy with them as well, training the little demon to sneak into his room.\" He smirked seeming to like the idea of doing something mean against most anyone else. \"I\'m sure he\'ll need years of counseling on top of what he already needs.\"
Hizashi blinked and then smirked at him. \"You know... That would be intersting to see.\" She snuggled against him and then kissed his cheek.
\"Perhaps we will really have to do it then, I\'m sure that it would at the very least be a very intriguing experiment. How far can one push an unstable teenager before he cracks completely.\" Pausing as he thought about what they were talking about he gave her a curious look. \"We\'re a little unstable ourselves aren\'t we?\"
She smiled before nodding. \"Just a little. But I am Unstable in a different way then the little Malfoy.\" She smirked, before tilting her head. \"I am emotionally scarred.\"
\"Funny, in a very disturbing way, how many different kinds of unstable people there can be.\" Shaking his head lightly as he shut his eyes looking for a very short moment as if he was depressed about what he was thinking of but the emotion soon left him. \"Odd how it almost always goes back to the parents, makes one think twice about procreation when you have to wonder if you\'ll turn out the same way they did as parents.\"
She nodded slightly to him and then laid down with a Sigh. \"True. But I will never be like mine.. I wouldn\'t let any children I have go through any of that...\"
Moving one hand to absently run over her hair, fiddling with the ends as he was quiet for a few minutes, thinking about all they had said. \"Do you eventually want children if the time comes for something like that?\"
She looked at him and then smiled. \"Yes... at least one..\" She shrugged. \"I think it would be nice.. I could give them the things I never had.. and Be able to show my family how you should be with children.\" She shrugged.
Giving a small \'hmm\' back to her but not saying anything else on the subject for the moment as he kept his eyes shut, content for the moment just thinking about things, looking over to her after a while. \"I think I\'d be a horrible father.\"
\"Why?\" She tilted her head to the side looking over at him.. Smiling... \"I don\'t think you would make a Bad Father... Besides... It\'s different I believe if the child is yours anyways.\" She shrugged and smiled.
\"Perhaps your right.\" He looked away again and shut his eyes relaxing once more. \"I\'ll practice on the ferret. But if it dies with in a week then I think we\'ll know for sure what would happen to a child.\" He was in part joking but didn\'t show it fully.
She rolled her eyes before smiling and then moving to snuggle against him. \"Okay. That sounds like a Plan.\" She closed her eyes letting her body relax.
