Chapter 3:

Harry potter had been avoiding Voldemort and doing a damn good job of it too.
That was until this evening when Voldemort had returned from business it had been a week. One terrible long week and he was worried about his friends from school. Voldemort had told him too be very careful about sending letters to his friends. Harry had assured Voldemort that Ron wouldn't tell Dumbledore where he was if he told Ron not too. Voldemort hadn't seemed so sure. "Just be careful." Voldemort had said.

But with one week passing he couldn't take it anymore. He missed his friends. He looked downstairs to see Voldemort discussing a plan with Lucius Malfoy and Severus Snape. He then dashed quickly upstairs to his room and wrote Ron and Hermione a letter telling them where he was and asking them to hide the information from Dumbledore. He told them about the truth of his birth and Dumbledore's evil manipulations. He hoped that they would write him soon. He tied the letter around Hedwigs foot. "Be careful Hedwig." Hedwig nibbled at Harrys' fingers and took off out the window.

Harry gave a quick sigh and headed downstairs himself. Instead of avoiding Voldemort like he had wanted to he ran right into the dark lord. "Um...sorry." He whispered trying t dash away but Voldemort was quicker and had grabed his arm. "What?"

"Did I do something wrong Harry? I said that you are free here to leave if you want too. I gave you your wand back and yet I get the feeling that you are avoiding me." Voldemort stated looking into Harry's eyes and making the young man uncomfortable.

Harry shifted his feet. "I'm not avoiding you."

"A lie..." Voldemort said and sighed. "I would like us to be friends Harry." He let go off Harry and walked off down the hallway. Leaving Harry behind rubbing his Hand. Harry was blushing. The minute Voldemort had taken his arm electricity had flooded his body heating it, his pants were tight in a paticular area now. Harry cursed and dashed back to his room to take care of his problem.

MEANWHILE BACK AT HOGWARTS

Hermione was deeply involved in a thick book called 'The art and science of advanced Transfiguration' that was propped open on her lap when Ron had dashed in the room waving a letter in his hands. "He's brainwashed Harry! We have to tell Dumbledore!"

"Ron calm down you are speaking entirely too fast." Hermione said sticking a bookmark in her book and closing it. "Now take a few breaths and tell me slowly what is going on."

Ron gave Hermione the letter and began pacing back and forth. "Voldemort kidnapped Harry and brainwashed him. 'Oh Voldemort is actually really nice. Dumbledore manipulated him!' can you believe that shit."

Hermione frowned. "Harry doesn't want us to tell Dumbledore. He will be extreamly mad at us if we tell."

"Voldemort probably has him under the imperious curse, he wants to lure us into a trap." Ron stated.

Hermione raised her eyebrow. "Ron...from what we heard he wants Harry dead. He doesn't want us dead. So why go to the trouble of luring us in a trap when he already has Harry. It doesn't add up."

Ron snatched the letter from Hermione glaring at her. "I don't believe you! If you won't do anything to help Harry I will. I am his friend. I guess you just don't care!" with that Ron turned around and marched out of the common room. Hermione sighed knowing that she couldn't warn Harry. The teachers had been checking the mail that had been going out, and in. She wondered if Hedwig had met Ron outside instead of flying through the great hall.


Dumbledore scanned the letter and folded it looking at Ron gravely that twinkle in his eyes were gone. "It is worse then I expected. He hasn't put Harry under the imperious curse he has brainwashed him."

"I thought so." Ron stated and gave the Headmaster a worried look. "What are we going to do."

Dumbledore frowned. "You will write to Harry and tell him not worry that you didn't tell me. Don't worry Ron I will be in touch with the order of Pheonix. We will get Harry back. Ron looked relieved. "Now I want you to send him the letter and return to your classes that is if you want to go to Hogsmede after class."

Ron nodded and left puffing up his chest and feeling extreamly proud. He had actually done something wonderful to help his friend. Maybe he would be Head Boy next year. After He did what Dumbledore had told him he went off to his last class Herbology. "Hello Neville." Neville sighed looking at Pr. Sprout and shutting Ron out. He had warned Ron for a reason and now Neville would have to warn Harry that Dumbledore was going to be after them. He wasn't even paying attention to the professor and had instead watched the watch on his wrist ticking away until the end of the day. "Neville are you okay?" Ron asked nudging Neville. "I heard from Harry."

"I know." Neville whispered softly and tried to walk away from Ron.

"What do you mean you know?" Ron asked looking at Neville with mistrust. "How would you know."

"Because you just told me." Neville said his face turning red. "And I heard the conversation you had with Hermione. I had forgotten a book you see and I was in the dormitory when you had a fight with her."

"Oh." Ron said his face suddenly brightened. "So what do you say to some butterbeer at the Three Broomsticks?"

"Sure I guess." Neville replied softly thinking quickly of something to say to get rid of Ron. "I think you should make up with Hermione first."

"Why? She doesn't care about Harry."

"Sure she does. She is just worried that Harry will turn against you guys for going against his wishes. I mean she doesn't want Harry to hate you both. Women think differently then men. They are more vulnerable."

"Ain't that the truth." Ron muttered. "Fine I'll talk to her. I'll meet you at the Three Broomsticks."

"Okay." Neville said watching Ron walk away. He looked around, no one was paying attention to him. He quickly slipped off walking a few miles from the village before taking his broom and wishing that he could make one swift quick journey. "Up." The broom slowly rose to his hands. Neville fanished up in the air wrestling to keep balance.

BACK AT MALFOY

Harry walked downstairs to dinner trying to sit away from Voldemort when Wormtail took his seat so he had to sit down by the dark lord.

Just then Lucius Malfoy had walked into the room carrying Neville long bottom by the scruff oh his neck. "We have a guest."

"Neville!"
