Body of Lies *On Hiatus*
Gone
Harry lazily looked at his aunt as she cried out at seeing the body of her husband lying lifelessly on the floor.
“Honestly aunt Petunia must you be so loud?” Harry drawled as if he hadn’t a care in the world.
“What have you done?!” she screamed again in shock before her eyes rolled back and she promptly fainted in the doorway.
Remus could only stare in shock at the scene that he was presented while Severus smirked to himself thinking ‘well well well maybe the brat isn’t so bad after-all’
“Harry? What is this? What happened? Did you do this? Merlin… What have you done?” Remus rambled trying to get his head wrapped around the fact that his adopted godson had killed someone.
“Hello Remus, Severus fancy seeing you here”
“Well Mr. Potter it seems you have some explaining to do. Mind telling me why your uncle is dead and in your quarters no less?” Severus said coolly all the while holding back his chuckles at the boys cheeky attitude.
“Well…” But Harry never got to finish his sentence because the sound of someone apparating downstairs cut him off.
-DOWNSTAIRS-
“Harry!”
His lover screamed trying to locate the boy but having no luck. He looked around in disgust at all of the muggle devices and contraptions and silently wondered how his lover stayed here for so many years without loosing his mind. His musing was cut off though by the sound of running footsteps from upstairs.
Harry raced down the stairs at hearing his lover’s voice and upon reaching the bottom he promptly threw himself in his lover’s arms.
“Miss me?” Harry said as he leaned forward and gently kissed his lover.
“Always love” said Tom as he kissed him back before putting him down.
“My Lord?” Severus said in disbelief not believing his eyes that The Boy Who Lived was in the arms of the Dark Lord.
“Ah! Severus I assume your here on assignment from that bloody Order to pick up my Harry”
“Yes My Lord” Severus said as he knelt at his lord’s feet.
“Well that won’t be necessary”
“Of course My Lord is there any particular reason I should give for my Prince not being here”
“Tell them that when you got here you discovered him missing and the muggles dead”
“No!!” Dudley screamed jumping up from his hiding place behind the couch. “Please don’t kill me!!” Dudley begged.
“What do we have here?” Tom chuckled darkly as he looked at the fat young muggle.
Dudley cowered in fear knowing that he made a mistake in giving himself away.
“I promise I won’t tell anyone what you did just let me go” He begged again, this time crying and looking at Harry with the same look his father has given him, hoping to see some mercy in Harry’s green depths, but again there was none only a cold hard look.
“This would be Dudley” Harry said with a look of disgust on his face that complimented the hard look in his eyes as he looked at the cowering boy at his feet.
“Ah yes the cousin if I am correct… Well no reason to drag this out longer than I should.. Avada Kedavra”
Dudley Dursley fell dead with the look of terror still imprinted on his face.
“Severus go upstairs and take care of my aunt she needs to b dealt with as well” Harry stated in a cold voice looking at the dead body of his cousin feeling no remorse that the boy was gone.
“Yes My Prince” Severus said rising from his kneeling position to quickly do the task that was assigned him.
“Harry…” A tired and haggard looking Remus said from the top of the stairs that Snape had just disappeared up. “What are you doing with that..that.. man?! He just killed your Cousin stay away from him!”
“Oh Remus must you be so naïve… He deserved it. It was payment for all those years he beat and belittled me! O Tom this is Remus my godfather, Remus this is Tom my lover” said Harry as he leaned back into his lovers arms.
“Pleased to make your acquaintance” Tom said smoothly as he put his wand away.
“But Harry…” said Remus turning a wary eye to the polite Dark Lord.
“No buts Remus either you accept it and come to my side and continue to be part of my family or you go to that old coot that mistreats you.” Harry said in a no argument type of tone. He hoped he wouldn’t have to fight his godfather when the final battle came but he knew that Dumbledore had his claws into Remus way before he was born and that was bound to make Remus have second thoughts about joining sides with the Dark Lord.
“This is going to take some getting used to Harry I don’t know if I can do this… He killed Lilly and James…”
Harry frowned knowing that this was going to be the hardest part to tell his godfather.
“Remus… Toms memories of that night are blurry we can’t figure out why but we suspect some type of memory charm was used on him so he won’t remember the exact details of that night”
Remus looked at Harry as if trying to distinguish some type of lie that his godson would tell him but he secretly knew that Harry was telling the truth.
“Well…Ok.” Remus said after a lengthy pause, hoping that he was not making the biggest mistake of his life by agreeing to this.
“I just don’t want to loose you Harry”
“You wont” Harry promised, Remus was the only family that he had left in the world not counting the Dursleys and he would never break a promise to him.
Harry beamed knowing now that his godfather was going to be with him and not against him in this war he would have said more but he knew that now was not really the time for pleasantries they had been here too long and Dumbledore would start getting suspicious if Severus and Remus weren’t back soon.
“Severus” Harry said in a hard tone as soon as he sees the Potions master com down the stairs “Go back and tell the old coot what has transpired, Remus go with him”
“Yes My Prince” Severus states before promptly turning on his heels and rushing out of the front door with Remus hot on his tail.
“My Prince?” Harry repeated, turning his confused green eyes to his lover.
“Yes love; my followers will now call you Prince because you will become my consort”
“But I thought I already was” Harry pouted cutely.
“No my love the ritual has not yet been completed once it is you and I will never be parted… not even in death.” Said Tom. “Now we must leave.. Hold on tight”
A sharp pop was all that was heard in the house on Number 4 Privet Drive before everything became silent.
