Chapter 7

Harry groaned as Voldemort pulled out and watched as his master got out of bed and started to throw on some clothes. “Where are you going?” Harry asked curiously.

“Lucius is in the study.” Was all he said as he began to look for a shirt. Harry perked up at hearing that.

“Master, can I go with you? I want to tell Mister Malfoy what a great master I have.” Harry said as he sat up and shifted in his seat. He was obviously a bit sore from this mornings activities.

Voldemort stopped what he was doing and looked at the boy. ‘I suppose I should let him go…it’s not like he’s never seen Lucius before.’ He thought as he looked the boy over. ‘I need to get him some clothes, as much as I would love to have him naked all the time, only I should get to see his beautiful body. He’s mine now, no one else deserves that privilege.’

“Sure, why not, little raven. Put this on, I don’t want him to see you naked.” Voldemort said nonchalantly. He watched as the boy, ‘Harry,’ he reminded himself, put the robe he gave him on. The robe was horribly long and pooled on the floor some when he put it on. His Harry all mussed up from sleep and sex. Voldemort thought he never looked more appetizing. Wearing his clothes and having the just shagged look, the boy looked good. Harry smiled at him and walked over to help him with his tie.

Voldemort quickly assembled the rest of his clothing and put a black robe. He left the robe unbuttoned so you could see the rest of the ensemble. He was wearing black pants and a grey vest with a white shirt underneath. He had on black tie with the black robe thrown overtop. His hair was neatly pulled back into a low ponytail. He looked like a god. Needless to say, he and Harry made quite the pair.

Voldemort grabbed Harry’s hand and walked out the door. The corridors were long and had many twists and turns, he didn’t want him getting lost, at least that is what Voldemort told himself as he continued to hold Harry’s hand. Meanwhile Harry watched avidly where they were going. He had never been allowed out of his rooms at Malfoy Manor, so seeing what Riddle Manor looked like was very exciting. There were portraits that lined the hallways, and long plush carpets on the ground. After walking down two flights of stairs, they turned left and went inside the first door. Mister Malfoy was sitting on a comfortable looking brown sofa, along with some man with dark features. They both looked up as Voldemort and Harry walked into the room. The dark one stared as Voldemort took the brown chair across from the sofa while Harry sat in his lap.

“My Lord, it is good to see you looking so well.” Lucius said in awe. His lord looked absolutely divine.

“Thank you Lucius, I feel better.” Voldemort said carefully. “I see you brought Severus with you. Would you care to explain?” He said raising a well sculpted eyebrow.

“Yes my Lord, of course. Apparently, Severus was sitting next to Dumbledore when his mark burned. He couldn’t get away. And after that Diggory boy’s body showed up, there was too many aurors and people around to get away safely. He finally managed to leave early this morning.” Lucius said, not entirely sure it was true.

“Is that right, Severus?” Voldemort said carefully as he looked at the other man. As he looked he noticed where Severus’s attention was focused on. He was staring a Harry, not blinking, as if he couldn’t believe his eyes. Voldemort narrowed his eyes and drew the boy closer to his body and stroked his hair in a possessive manner.

Severus jumped as he saw a hand come into his line of vision. He was not usually caught off guard, especially in Voldemort’s presence, but he couldn’t help it. Who was this boy? This angel who was sitting in the dark lord’s lap. He was positively stunning. He looked the perfect picture of innocence, except for the just shagged hair and the purple bite marks he could see peeking out from under the collar of the boy’s robe. ‘There is no way that boy is of age.’ Severus thought guiltily as his trousers began to get a bit tight. ‘Control yourself Severus, you teach kids his age you pervert.’

“Severus,” Voldemort snapped, “Answer me.” He didn’t like the way Snape was looking at his sweet little raven. He was very pleased when Snape jerked his head in surprise.

“Yes my Lord, forgive my rudeness. I was just wondering how you got your body back?” Severus said, once again fishing for information.

“Ah yes, that would be Raven’s doing.” Voldemort said thoughtfully. ‘No need to tell him who the Harry really is. If he doesn’t see the scar he will never know. I don’t trust him with this information yet.’

“Raven?” Severus questioned. ‘I don’t remember any Raven’s working for the dark lord. Whoever he is could be a powerful ally. No one was able to get Voldemort’s body back, despite the many attempts. I must tell Albus, perhaps we can convince this Raven to join the order.’ Severus thought.

Voldemort smirked. “Yes Severus, Raven. He was a gift from Lucius. Very handy isn’t he.” Voldemort said as he looked down at Harry now dubbed Raven.

Voldemort and Lucius looked on in amusement as Severus’s jaw practically hit the floor. He was staring at Harry in both awe and disbelief. ‘Oh my god. That is not possible.’ Was all Severus could think.

“W-What, my Lord, how is that possible? We all tried to get you a better body years ago and nothing ever worked. How did this boy figure it out?” Severus asked curiously.

Voldemort just looked to Harry to have him explain.

“I read it in a book.” He said quietly, being painfully shy around a stranger.

Once again, Severus stared in disbelief. “You read it in a book?” Severus said, obviously thinking the boy was lying.

That is where Severus made his mistake. NEVER question what Harry, or Raven, says in Voldemort’s presence. “Yes Severusss,” Voldemort said, some of his old hiss coming back. “He actually found it in a book, he is actually able to read unlike my followers apparently. At this moment a child has shown more intelligence than you.” Voldemort snarled viciously. “He remembers everything he reads, right Lucius?” Voldemort questioned, wanting to make sure he remembered right.

“Correct, my lord. Raven always seemed to have a book in his hand to.” Lucius said fondly. “How are you doing, Raven?” Lucius was curious how the boy was holding up.

“I’m great Mister Malfoy! Master is so nice! I’m having lots of fun.” Harry said cheerfully, wriggling in his master’s lap, not knowing the reaction it was causing for his master.

Lucius coughed, knowing exactly what kind of fun he was having and why his lord suddenly looked a bit uncomfortable. “Is that so? Well I’m glad you two are getting on so well.” Harry just gave him one of his 1000 galleon smiles and nodded happily. He snuggled once more into his master’s chest and closed his eyes.

Severus watched the whole scene in slight confusion. ‘He thought Voldemort was nice? What kind of environment did he grow up in to think that he was nice? And what did he mean by having fun? Surely, he didn’t consider sex with Voldemort fun.’ Severus thought. He remembered what people were like after they left Voldemort’s bed, or should he say if they left his bed? Some people didn’t even leave with their lives. Even the most proud men, and he did prefer men over women, left with both injuries and in tears. Most of them had to be sent to St. Mungos for treatment, both physical and mental. How could this boy, obviously not even in puberty yet, think screwing around with Voldemort fun?

“So Severus, what has that barmy old man been up to? What was his response to the events of last night?” Voldemort asked, still not sure if Severus was trustworthy.

“My Lord, Dumbledore talked of bringing the Order of the Phoenix back. He doesn’t believe what Fudge said. He knows your back, and that this wasn’t some attack by a rogue deatheater or a copycat. He wants to try and put a stop to the war before it even starts up again.” Severus said truthfully, it’s not like that would have been a secret anyway.

“Hmm…the Order of the Fried Chicken is back. I had thought he would wait a while to confirm my rebirth, but apparently not. Oh well, my plans will still be carried out. Severus, go back to Hogwarts and find out what you can. I want that man watched at all times. Now leave before you are missed.” Voldemort dismissed him with a wave of his hand.

“Understood, my lord.” Severus said with a bow as he used the floo to get back. He could floo out, but not in.

“I don’t trust him.” Voldemort said.

“Neither do I.” Lucius agreed.

“Who was that?” Harry asked. He had been curious who the dark stranger was, but didn’t want to ask while he was still here.

“Severus Snape, a Potions master who works at Hogwarts. We think he might be a spy.” Voldemort said. “Though, we are not a 100% sure.”

“Oh.” Was all Harry got to say before his stomach grumbled. He blushed crimson at the loud noise.

“I guess it is time for breakfast. Lucius, will you be joining us?” Voldemort asked, not really caring either way.

“Yes, my lord that sounds lovely.” Lucius said. They all got up to leave for the dining room. They were all very hungry.

(Hogwarts)

Severus gracefully walked out of the Headmaster’s fireplace and sat down in a chair across from the headmaster’s desk.

“Severus, my dear boy, how did it go.” Dumbledore asked, for once again straight to the point.

“They believed me and have taken me back into their fold.” Severus said, and then frowned.

“What is wrong Severus?” Albus asked cautiously. He didn’t like the frown marring his Potion master’s face.

“Albus, he has a child with him.” Severus said. All the headmaster did was look at him which prompted him to continue. “Lucius gave Voldemort a young boy, probably a bit younger than his son Draco, as a plaything. Somehow the boy managed to give Voldemort a better body.” Severus said.

Albus looked startled at that.

“And who was this boy? What did he look like?” Not knowing when the child was taken, or from where.

“He said his name was Raven. He had long wavy black hair, a small stature. He had high cheekbones and green eyes. He appeared to be around 13.” Severus said, not knowing he was nearly 15 years old.

“I will look into it.” Was all the headmaster said. He thought it may have been Harry for a moment, but Severus would have noticed the scar, and he appeared to pity the boy. He could never pity anyone that looked like James. Not to mention the fact that Severus said the boy looked younger than Draco. Harry would have been nearly 15, not 13. Voldemort would have also bragged about having Harry Potter as a slave, he wouldn’t have named him Raven. He would have wanted to rub the lights nose in the fact that he had Harry. It couldn’t be him.

‘Who are you?’ Albus thought.

************************************************************************Hello everyone! I have a quick question, well 2 questions really. Alright, is deatheater one word or two? My computer keeps making it two so I keep writing it both ways. The second question is when they say my lord, is the L in lord capitalized? It is seriously bothering me, and I have seen people do it both ways.

Thanks to my reviewers:

Jaylynn: Thanks for the review!

Frozenrose: I agree with you, I can’t stand an always depressed Harry who is always forced into things against his will. Some angst is okay, but a lot of people go overboard. I like a happy Harry. He’s so much more fun to write this way. Thank you!

Satine1313: HP/LV is my favorite pair. Some people think it’s a little to weird, but I don’t really care. Anyway, I’m glad you like little raven. I thought it was cute too. Thanks for the review!

Lady Date: Thank you, that’s such a compliment. And yes, Remus and Sirius will show up. I love those 2. And will they be loyal to Dumbledore or stick with Harry, that would ruin the fun if I told you that, but if you figure out Lucius’s gift then you will most likely figure out the answer to that question! *wink, wink, nudge, nudge*

Extraho: There’s your reaction. Thanks for the review.

WanderingKnightsFire: I know, everyone seems to think of Severus as a raven. I thought I’d switch it up a bit. And Tom will find out Harry likes spankings after he buys some toys. Now as for which toys I will have him buy, I’m not entirely sure yet. Thanks for the review!

Kyuubifreak: That will come in soon. I just have to remember to write it down. Thanks for the review!

blood_red_eyes: He will still be somewhat mean to others, but I want him to have a soft spot for Harry. I imagine with how much sex he is getting, he will be put into a slightly better mood with others to. Thanks for the review!

BRM: I’m glad you like it! Thanks for the review!

Deaths_mistress: Yes, I did read your other review! I keep them all in my email until I can respond so I don’t miss anyone. And he gets off on slight pain, not like torture crucio pain. Some people have that, and it’s a little to weird. And yes, this IS a mpreg. It is in the warnings. I love Harry all preggered up! I love the idea of a fat Harry waddling around getting strange cravings. And Tom talking to the big belly, and trying to change diapers is incredibly comical. Thanks for the review.

Rainbow: Don’t worry, I try to update as often as possible. Thanks for the review!

hell_on_earth: A few people found out who Lucius wants. It will most likely be in the next chapter. Thanks for the review!

Kurai: We have a winner! I’m glad you figured it out, not many did. It’s good to know I did give enough clues once you think about them! Thanks for the review.

Lien: Oh don’t worry, they will have toys. I have to think of some interesting ones. It’s not going to be torture pain, I don’t like the idea of hurting Harry to much *not to mention Voldemort will kill me if I do* but he will give him enough to be satisfied. Thanks for reviewing.

Dark Sora: I didn’t say he was shopping in this chapter, but he will most likely go shopping in the next one! No promises though. And everyone is yelling at me to give them plenty of toys, and I will! I got to think of some good ones. Thanks for reviewing!

NunnyWept: Instead of saying that I have glaring mistakes, I would rather you tell me what they were! I honestly don’t know what you are referring to. And I would rather have the story go a little fast then put a bunch of irrelevant information in the story. . And adultfanfiction does NOT call it chan. They call it MINOR, which I have CLEARLY stated in the warnings of the summary. And you say you don’t like the abuse, once again I have had a CLEARLY written warning of ABUSE and SLAVE in the chapter summary that has always been there. It is NOT MY FAULT you chose to IGNORE the warnings that have been up since I started writing this story. If you don’t like then don’t read!

WeasleyWench: Thanks for the review!

Tesgura: No it is not Neville. Though, I do like that idea, I may just put it in another story. And as you can see, they won’t hurt Severus until they are certain that he is unloyal. Thanks for the review!

Mr.Galion: It still has a little while before he finds out it is Harry. Thanks for the review!

Alright Chapter 7 is over. I now have to get ready for work soon. Take care my lovelies, and be sure to review!
