The Dark Lord Harry Potter

"I can't believe we are still doing this…"

"Shut up Nott and shove over, I want to be as far away from Weasel as possible."

"What did you just say Malfoy?"

"You heard me!"

"Gentlemen! Kindly shut your mouths and stand still. The picture will not come out right if you do not."

The boys grumbled and fell into their assigned spots with the rest of their class. It was a tradition at Hogwarts that at the end of every year a class photo would be taken to show unity in Hogwarts, despite the obvious divisions among the House lines.

"Bloody hell Scabbers quit fidgeting."

"You brought your gross rat into the picture!?"

Ron rolled his eyes at the Hufflepuff girl's exclamation, "Of course I did… and he is not gross. He is a family pet."

"Right, stand still children and say 'Merlin'. With everything that has happened this photo will be going on the front page of the Prophet!"

...

"Ginny? What do you think you are doing?"

"What are you talking about Ron? I am just…"

"Talking to Slytherins !"

"Yeah… and?"

"And? AND!? They are Slytherins Ginny! They are evil!"

"They are not…"

"Yes they are! No sister of mine is going to be talking to any slimy snakes!"

" I will talk to whoever I want to talk to! You do not get to decide who I spend time with Ron!"

"You can't be seen with them!"

The young girl rolled her eyes, "And who am I supposed to be seen with then? I don't have any friends in Gryffindor, Luna is always in Slytherin, and I barely know anyone from Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw."

"You should be with Gryffindors! We are the good guys!"

"Oh get over yourself Ron, we are in school, there are no 'good guys' or 'bad guys'. This isn't some stupid adventure book."

"No it isn't, this is real life! What are mom and dad going to say when they hear about this!?"

"They will probably be happy I am making friends, and if not then I do not care about what they say. It is not their business who I choose to have as friends at Hogwarts, besides I already told them about the boy!"

Ron reached out to grab his sister by the arm and pull her away, and yell at her about her choice in potential boyfriends, but gripped a bit too hard and earned a cry of pain from the younger girl.

"Is there a problem here?" a voice called from behind, forcing the redheaded boy to spin around and face down two angry emerald eyes.

"Mind your own business Potter!"

"You are hurting a friend of mine… I consider this my business."

"I said…"

"Mr. Weasley, one hundred points from Gryffindor, and detention tonight."

"What for!?" the boy shouted back at the Slytherin Head of House in rage.

"Harming another student, insulting your fellow classmates, and back talking a teacher."

"Hmph, some teacher you are."

"A week of detention Mr. Weasley, and I dare you to make that comment again." This time it was McGonagall, who had walked into the hallway unseen moments prior.

The boy merely sputtered, before stomping off in rage.

...

"Hello Harry."

"Good evening Auror Tonks, something I can help you with?"

The woman nodded, "Just here to do a routine inspection. With everything that happened, and now a professor's disappearance, the DMLE wants to ensure that all of the students are safe and secure. Slytherin is the last stop on my list and since you have a private room…"

The boy nodded, before gestured to let the woman walk inside. "Whatever I can do to help."

She nodded appreciatively and glanced around before approaching the bed and running her fingers along the sheets, caught up in previous, forbidden, memories.

"I assume you will need to thoroughly examine the bed?"

The Pink-haired Auror's breath caught in her throat at the husky tone he had used. She knew exactly what he was suggesting… and couldn't quite bring herself to refuse. "Of course… can't have our students in any sort of danger now can we? I would appreciate your help in this matter."

The raven-haired boy smiled, before discarding his outer cloak, "As I said before, anything I can do to help…"

...

Harry Potter was a very intelligent boy, in fact if he was actually offered an 'IQ' test it would put him well above the 'genius' range. He could speed-read, and memorize books in mere minutes, even understanding the context of each as he did so.

He could use new spells simply by seeing them performed one time, could learn new languages in mere days, and had the highest academic achievement record in the history of the prestigious school.

All that being said the boy was a bit confused at the moment, because Luna Lovegood was actually ignoring him.

"Luna?"

She didn't so much as shift in her seat, instead continued working on an essay for the summer.

The Potter heir glanced over to where Hedwig was sitting nearby as well, also ignoring him in favor of looking through a book on exotic locations.

"Hedwig…"

The white-haired girl refused to acknowledge him as well.

Normally he would find such a situation irritating… and probably force his Magic not to lash out at the two causing him the undue stress. Oddly enough though there was a different emotion. Something he had often heard was known as 'regret'.

"Are you both ignoring me?"

No answer.

"You know…" he mused, sitting down at a nearby table as if talking to himself. "I find myself in a rather odd situation. The last time someone willingly chose to ignore my presence I was debating on whether to simply depart… and never see them again."

Hedwig froze in her seat, recalling that incident as the memory of being ignored and abandoned tore through her mind. Was this a bad idea? Were they going to cause far more trouble than anything they could ever gain from such actions?

"But for some reason I am not feeling inclined to do so this time."

The pale girl noticed the blonde's shoulders relax ever so slightly as well. Apparently, Luna had been sharing the same thoughts.

"The problem, however, is that despite the fact that I could violently rip into both of your minds with ease and find out exactly what the problem is I would rather not do so. This also means that I am unable to make any corrections to prevent this sort of… insubordination in the future. Since it seems you are both set in your path perhaps you could speak with each other so that I might overhear…"

"Say Luna"

"Yes Hedwig?"

"Are you still angry about Tonks spending the night again?"

"Me? Not as much, I am far more upset over the fact that someone else was chosen for our Lord to use for his enjoyment than me… especially someone who is not loyal, and he has not had nearly as much contact with."

"Ah I see, well I am still angry about Tonks being invited into our bed…"

" My bed"

Both girls fell silent at the icy tone that permeated the air, the room darkening slightly as his Magic flowed around them.

"It is not our bed it is my bed, just as it is my decision on whom I share relations with." he slowly rose, before pacing in a circle around the two girls.

"It appears as though there has been some miscommunication somewhere along the lines. Neither of you are my superior. Neither of you are in control of my life or my actions, and neither of you have a say in whom I choose to share this life with. I could walk outside and fuck the nearest girl and neither of you would would be able to change that."

He paused, allowing the darkness to recede and his voice to take on the happier tone once more, "However, I would like for both of you to share this life with me, and so I will take your feelings into account and attempt to involve you more. That does not mean I will stop in these activities but I will try and be more discreet."

Turning, he addressed the young blonde directly, "As for you Luna, I am unsure as to why you are upset with me, considering Hedwig was the one who insisted I avoid even looking at you in any inappropriate way. I was planning on thoroughly exploring your body the first week you were here."

The blonde shot an annoyed glare at the former owl, who muttered about a certain boy betraying her.

"I have upset you both though, and I intend to make this up to you. I have overheard Pansy more than once demanding Draco 'buy her something pretty' in return for her forgiveness and so I will allow you both to pick out one item from any catalog you can find in the Slytherin dorm area."

Luna promptly gave a squeal of delight, ran over to kiss the boy on the cheek, before bolting to obtain the necessary 'research' materials. Hedwig merely stared at him in surprise.

"What, are you so shocked that I can be kind?"

"No, I know you can be. I am just surprised that you let us off so easily, that you did not punish us…"

He glanced over at her, before a smirk appeared on his face. "Oh my dear Hedwig… who said anything about not punishing you? I fully intend to make you earn your forgiveness. I am just debating on what position I want you in tonight…"

The white-haired beauty blushed deeply, before muttering something about it being Luna's fault.

"Do not concern yourself with Luna my dear…" he drawled, slowly moving so that he stood behind her. "She will be receiving her 'punishment' once we agree she is old enough for me to use her properly."

His hands slipped into the top of her dress, fingertips just above her skin. "Now then… perhaps we should do a bit of a sneak preview?"
