Together

It was three in the morning when Tom was awoken by a tapping sound coming from his window. Sleepily, he got up and opened the window. A small owl flew all over the place and Tom threw his hands over his head to protect himself from any aerial attacks. But the owl was starting to get tired from flying around with a letter three times it’s size on it’s leg.

When Tom finally got his wits about him he relieved the small owl of it’s burden. The owl still flew around the room but no attack came from the bird. After checking for any charms or curses Tom opened up the letter.

‘Dear Mr. You-Know-Who,

My name is George Weasley. My brother Fred Weasley and I wish to join you. We are sick of Dumbledore and wish to leave his clutches. Please except us among your ranks. We would like to meet with you as soon as possible to discuss this.

Pranksters Extraordinaire,
Fred and George Weasley’

Weasleys want to join him? That was something he never thought he’d see. He’d have to ask Harry if they were trustworthy as they were his friends. But for now, bed. Sleepy, sleepy, sleepy.

That morning at breakfast Tom breached the subject with Harry. Harry thought about it for a moment but before he could answer Ali did.

“Bring them and I’ll see if they’re lying or not,” she said through a mouthful of pancakes. Only years of listening to Ron talk with food in his mouth helped him understand what she said.

Tom was no so lucky so Harry quickly translated for him. Tom mouthed ‘o’.

“What do you mean you can see when they’re lying?” Harry asked wearily for he still feared the vampiress.

“I’m a telepath and natural mind reader. Basically, I can read their minds without occlumency and no shield can stop me from doing so,” Ali said matter-of-factly.

It was Harry’s turn to mouth ‘o’. “Hiding any other powers?” Harry asked with a chuckle.

Ali smirked. “More then you could ever guess. But I’ll tell you this, I’m the most powerful witch since Merlin. I can do anything.”

Harry just gaped at her while Tom laughed. Ali pretended to act arrogant by jutting her nose up into the air. And they stayed like that for about two minutes before Tom finally stopped laughing long enough to tell Harry to close his mouth. By that time Ali had started laughing to.

Everybody soon calmed down enough to stop laughing though just to spite the to Ali started laughing whenever they said something.

“Harry-“ Tom started.

“Ha ha ha ha!”

“Stop-“

“Ha ha ha ha ha!”

“Shut up!”

“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!”

“I’m home!” Ellie called from the door.

“Ha- Ellie!” Ali said and rushed over to her (lots of greats) granddaughter.

“Ali! When did you get here?” Ellie asked as the two hugged each other.

Ali smirked. “While you were sleeping over at Emma’s. You should have been here. It’s been so funny…” Ali proceeded to tell Ellie about the day before.

Harry and Tom just stare at the two. “Yeah, I can see who Ellie acts like.”

Tom just nodded dumbly. “I’m going to go write that letter to the Weasley twins,” Tom said getting up.

“I’m going with you,” Harry said and followed Tom to his office.

Back To Dumbles…

“Where is he Dumbledore?!” yelled Lupin as he stepped into the headmaster’s office.

“Who my boy?” Dumbledore said calmly with a smile on his face and that damn twinkle in his eyes..

“Harry, that’s who! Don’t tell me you haven’t found him yet!” Lupin slammed his fist on Dumbledore’s desk which surprised the old coot quite a bit.

Lupin was never one to be violent but with his pup missing… well, you get the idea. He was ready to rip Dumbledore in half if that man hurt his pup. After Sirius died Lupin became the unofficial godfather. He loved Harry like a son and would kill to save him. His inner wolf was telling him that the coot in front of him was a threat and he thought it was about time he started listening to his inner wolf.

“If you’ve done anything to hurt Harry I will kill you myself Dumbledore. Find him before I do something I’d never thought I’d do,” Lupin said between clenched teeth.

“Sit down my boy. Lemon drop?” Dumbledore asked, that damned twinkle still twinkling.

“No damn it! Stop with the niceties. Tell me where Harry is!” Lupin still stood and bared his teeth at the headmaster, silently threatening him.

“Remus, since when have you been one to listen to that retched wolf inside you? I thought you wanted to be free of it. Why embrace it?” The twinkle was still there.

“Have you not been listening to me? Tell me where Harry is!”

Dumbledore sighed unhappily and acted as though he regretted what he was about to say. The damn twinkle was still in his eyes. “I regret to say this but it seems Harry has joined Voldemort. But we can still get him back. Voldemort manipulated him into thinking like this. What we need to do is get Severus to capture him back so we can erase Voldemort’s manipulations from his mind.”

Lupin looked at his mentor wearily. He didn’t completely trust the man as he once did. But Lupin was calmed down enough to sit but when he tried, he missed the chair and landed with an ‘oof’ on the stone floor. Dumbledore chuckled merrily at this and when Lupin got up off the floor his face was red with embarrassment.

“I guess that could work…” Lupin trailed off, his face still red though he tried to will it away.

“Excellent. Well, you should go. I’ll tell the others about it in a few days,” Dumbledore said happily.

Lupin left. Finally he was out of that man’s office. There were too many bright colors and shiny objects. It hurt his sensitive eyes. While rubbing his eyes as he walked down the hallway, he was grabbed by four hands and pulled behind a tapestry.

“What the fuck?!” he cried out but was shushed.

“Be quiet Professor. Dumbledore might hear you,” a voice said.

“Fred? George? What do you two want? And what the hell are you doing at Hogwarts over the summer?” Lupin whispered.

“We wanted to know-“ started Fred.

“If you knew-“

“Where Harry is.”

“Do you?”

“You two really have to stop doing that. It’s rather annoying,” Lupin scolded.

“Just answer the question,” George said seriously.

“Dumbledore said that Harry joined You-Know-Who but I’m not so sure,” Lupin answered quietly.

“We think he did join You-Know-Who and we’re going to join him too. We already sent a letter to You-Know-Who,” said Fred.

“We’re still waiting for the reply but that’s to be expected,” said George this time.

“I guess we could bring you along if you wanted to join.”

Lupin thought for a moment. Did he really want to join Voldemort and have to kill and torture innocent people? No, not at all. It just wasn’t in his nature. But…

“No, I won’t join Voldemort-“ started Lupin but he was interrupted by Fred.

“Quick George, obliviate him!” George raised his wand.

“No! I’m going to rejoin my pack if Greyback will let me. The werewolves there are in an alliance with him,” Lupin said as he threw his hands up.

The twins nodded.

That night the two were awoken by a tapping coming from the window. George sat up and rubbed his eyes. Looking at the clock he found that it was three in the morning. He got up and stretched before walking groggily to the window and letting the owl in. Two owls came in, a sleek black one with a letter and package and Pig.

The owl left as soon as it’s burden was removed. Pig just flew around the room until Fred, who was also up thanks to the tapping, caught the overexcited bird. Fred threw the bird out into the hallway where it flew back to Ron’s room. George cast lumos so the could see and were wide awake when they saw who the letter and package were from.

Ripping open the letter first, they read.

‘Dear Mr. and Mr. Weasley,

I’m just going straight to the point. You want to become Death Eaters. I do not know what brought two members from such a light sided family to finally see things differently but I think I have an idea.

You are wondering where young Mr. Potter is.

He’s perfectly safe with me at my manor. I asked him and he says that you two might be trustworthy. I’m going to have somebody tell me if your lying just incase I don’t see it so do not try to lie to me.

There is a meeting tomorrow at midnight. In the package are two portkeys. One is set for the time of the meeting the other is for coming to my manor. It will activate at three thirty tonight and will lead you to my office where we will discuss your becoming a Death Eater. Harry will be with me of course. He says he can’t wait to see you two again. And before you ask, yes he’s reading this over my shoulder so I don’t insult you two.

See you soon guys, Harry.

Lord Voldemort’

They opened the package and sure enough, there were to portkeys. One was a rubber ducky and the other was an empty can of cologne. They chuckled at the idea of the Dark Lord with a rubber ducky and cologne, though they were sure he needed the cologne. But then they realized they didn’t know which one was which.

“Oi, George. There’s a note,” Fred said pointing at a small piece of paper he found in the box.

‘The rubber duck is for tonight and the empty bottle of cologne is for the Death Eater meeting. Don’t ask. Okay, Potter picked them out.

P.S. Hi again!- Harry’

“So,” said George when they both finished reading the note. “What do you want to do for the next twenty minutes?”

Fred looked thoughtful for a moment. “How about get dressed then set up pranks for everyone to find in the morning?”

George grinned. “Sounds perfect.”

Needless to say, the next morning wouldn’t be to good for most people.

Back with Voldie…

Tom was pacing. He stared at the digital clock on his desk, willing it to go faster. Yeah… it didn’t work. Harry watched his mate with amusement. Even though Tom had his hood on Harry could see the anxiousness in his eyes.

“Come on and sit down,” Harry said cheerily, patting the spot next to him.

Tom sat down and pulled down his hood.

“I know what you need,” Harry said cheekily.

Tom glanced over at Harry wearily. “And that would be…” he trailed off afraid of the answer.

“This,” was all Harry said before Tom found his mouth covered with Harry’s.

Tom froze but was soon kissing him back. Harry smiled into the kiss. Soon the kiss became more passionate and Harry had his arms around Tom’s neck while Tom’s were around Harry’s waist. Harry was soon on his back with the dark lord over him. Tom’s gently bit Harry’s bottom lip asking for entrance, which was granted without hesitation. Their tongues battled for dominance which Tom quickly won. The forked tongue explored Harry’s mouth quite thoroughly. They only ever broke away for air.

This was how the Weasley twins found them ten minutes later. With a polite cough from Fred the two broke apart, both embarrassed to be caught.

“So sorry to interrupt but we didn’t come here to watch you two make out-“ started Fred.

“And though we enjoyed the show, I think it’s time to get down to business,” finished George.

“Yes of course. Have a seat,” said Tom, his face still red.

“Where’s Ali?” Harry asked.

“I don’t kn-“ started Tom.

“Here I am!” Ali said as she and Ellie jogged in and took a seat in a couple chairs. “Sorry I’m late but Ellie wanted to come. Hello Fred and George Weasley, how are you two today?”

They looked at Ali in shock but both muttered “Fine.”

“Um, sorry to be rude but-“ started George.

“But who the hell are you?” finished Fred.

“Who am I?” Ali asked in mock insult with her hand over her heart. “I am Ali Slytherin of course.”

Ellie sat in her chaired and chuckled.

“Okay… then who are you?” asked George, pointing at Ellie.

“I’m Voldie’s daughter.”

“Oh. Okay then. Care to explain all this to us later Harry?” Fred asked cheerfully.

“Sure,” Harry said with a chuckle.

“Now on with the reason we’re here. Why do you two want to become Death Eaters?” Tom asked.

“We’re sick of Dumbledore. I’m beginning to doubt all the light’s ideas. Maybe separation is a good thing if not complete genocide,” Fred said seriously.

“Wait! Genocide? Who said anything about genocide? I just want to separate muggles and wizards and put better, more competent people in the ministry,” Tom said.

“Well, just another thing Dumbledore lied about,” George said dramatically.

“Oh yes. How will we go on knowing our lives are a complete lie?” Fred said just as dramatically.

“Easy, get rid of the old coot,” George said.

“Exactly,” agreed Fred.

“Okay…” said Tom. “Ali, are they lying?”

Ali shook her head.

“Use they other portkey to get to the meeting. You’ll be initiated then,” Tom said. “I’ll introduce Harry as my second-in-command then too.”

“Okay. So, how do we leave?” Fred asked.

“Ellie, please take these two to the foyer so they can apparate back,” Tom said. “And Ali, can you please just leave. Me and Harry want to talk.”

Ali smiled knowingly and left. Ellie left along with the Weasley twins. Tom turned to Harry and smirked.

“Now where were we?”

Over To Lupin…

Lupin apparated into a forest somewhere in Britain. Looking around he saw nothing but trees but up ahead he could smell his sire as well as many other werewolves. A few minutes walk he finally found himself in the clearing where the werewolves waited. The whole pack was there. In front stood Fenrir Greyback, his sire and alpha of the pack.

“Ah, Remus Lupin. I was wondering if you would actually show. Finally see the light? Or should I say the dark?” Greyback said scornfully.

“Yes.”

A Few Days Later At Midnight With Voldie…

It was time for the Death Eater meeting. The Death Eaters were already assembled. Harry sat in a throne-like chair next to Tom’s. Tom had already announced that there would be two new Death Eaters joining them and that they needed to be initiated. Just as a clock somewhere struck twelve two people appeared. They were in their regular clothes.

They landed on the stone floor of the throne room much to the shock of the Death Eaters there. Many raised their wands while others, the smarter ones, kept their wands lowered because they realized that they must be the new recruits.

“Well, looks like we’re underdressed,” Fred said.

Harry smiled from under the hood of his black robes. Tom sighed. He forgot to tell the two to where plain black robes.

“Come over here,” Tom said in his evil Lord Voldie voice.

“Sure thing,” said George cheerfully.

This was going to be a long night.

The twins walked over to Tom who whispered to them to kneel and hold out their left arms. They did so. Tom placed his wand on each of their forearms and said the incantation. The mark was seared into their skin with them only wincing a bit. Of course, they had to bite their tongues from crying out. They went to a place in the inner circle.

“Now you must all be wondering who this is,” he gestured to his left where Harry sat. “He is my second-in-command. You will listen to him and show him the respect you show me. Understood?”

‘Yes milord’ were murmured around the room.

“And you are probably wondering who this is,” said Tom.

Another round of ‘yes milord’ was heard.

“Please remove your hood,” Tom said, smirking.

Harry was smirking to. He removed his hood and revealed his identity to everybody in the room. Several gasp and a few just stared in shock. Snape fainted which caused Harry to laugh. Harry could tell it was Snape because the man’s mask fell off. Fred and George were trying to stifle their laughter but failed miserably. Tom put his head in his hands and sighed.

Tom dismissed everybody though it took a while to get the twins to leave. They ended up leaving after Tom threatened to crucio them. Snape still lay unconscious on the floor. Eventually Tom called a house elf to take the man home which caused Harry to laugh all the more.

To Lupin…

Greyback patted a worn out Lupin on the back comfortingly. Lupin looked up into the amber eyes of his sire. He was home.

“Welcome back to the pack Remus.”

Said person passed out from exhaustion.
