Summary:

Summer after the traumatic end of the Triwizard Tournament, instead of Harry Potter getting visions of the latest evil plot from the Dark Lord, it is Voldemort who gets visions of The-Boy-Who-Lived’s childhood.

And they’re not pleasant.

—

When Newt accepted to become one of Harry Potter’s secret guard as a favor to Albus Dumbledore, he hadn’t anticipated being faced with a choice concerning the welfare and safety of a child: obey Albus Dumbledore’s orders or stay at Voldemort’s side to protect Harry.

Though difficult, the right choice was clear.

——

SEVENTEEN EXCERPT:

“What’re you doing, Siri?”

Sirius yelped and whirled around. Remus crossed his arms and looked at him with a raised eyebrow.

“It’s not as bad as it looks,” said Sirius.

“Are you listening in on Albus and Severus’ private conversation?”

Sirius faltered. “Okay, it’s as bad as it looks.”

Remus eyed him for a half a moment before he drew closer to the door and pressed his ear to it. Sirius grinned and did the same at his side.

“Anything about Harry?” whispered Remus.

“Snape said he’s alive, but I don’t trust him.”

But there wasn’t any bite to his tone. Sirius didn’t have it in him, not after what Snape had said about Lily’s last wishes. Snape might be a bastard, but it was clear enough he cared a little bit about Harry’s wellbeing.

“—know me better than that,” snapped Snape. “How dare you. I would’ve never harmed that boy. I am not my father. You have this disillusioned notion that blood means unbreakable, loving family—it does not. Blood will be among the first to hurt, betray, and abandon you!”

“That’s not true—”

“Isn’t it?” snarled Severus. “What of your family?”

Albus sucked in his breath.

Bloody hell, but I think ol’ Snapey has a point there…

There was a loud, exasperated sigh. “Loathe I am to admit this,” Severus said, his voice lowering, “but Harry is better off where he is right now, especially when you’re so hellbent on sending him back to his abusive relatives—and for what? Protection? From whom? Protection from the Dark Lord who is now caring for him better than those disgusting monsters? It’s too late, Albus. Your efforts have all been for naught. I fear Harry will need protection from you.”

“You can’t believe that—”

“Albus, how are you so blind to the truth when it’s lain right before your very eyes?” whispered Severus. “How can you look at those memories and not see how much better off Harry is now? I don’t understand you.”

A moment of silence passed.

“Have you so little faith in me, Severus?” whispered Albus. “Are my years of experience meaningless? I have been seduced by an evil man once before, so I can see through the darkness where the rest of you cannot. You don’t know Tom as well as I do.”

“No… I think it is you who does not know him well.”

“Severus—”

“I’ve given you what you want. I am done here.”

“Has your loyalty wavered, my boy?” whispered Albus. “Has the Dark Lord lured you back to his side once more?”

Sirius sucked in his breath and held it, listening harder. He glanced over at Remus, who stared back, eyes wide.

The silence roared for seconds longer.

“My loyalty has not changed since the night Lily died,” whispered Severus. “Even if I have to go against you and the Dark Lord combined, it will not change. Lily’s son has my loyalty—and you made sure of that, now didn’t you?”

I love how curse breaking is seen as a highly desirable and respectable job in wizarding world Britain when it’s just stealing artifacts and treasure from other countries and cultures, yeah you would see it like that huh lol

Morally guilty Harry and down bad tom who would do anything to get him is my favorite combo

[isalisewrites]

I like drawing Tom staring at Harry like he’s completely smitten

[isalisewrites]

"I'm happy, are you?" "I am. Truly."

(Kinda cringe writing below, but I don't really want to think too much about it, so.... yeah🤷)

They've come a long way.

Experiencing so many things in a span of a year with the other by their side.

Be it during in moments of hardships, adversities, triumphs, their failures and success, their arguments and lies, the fights they initiate with each other.

It simply brought them closer to each other, understanding the other deeply, eventually regarding the other as a close companion one never expected to have.

At first, Harry, himself, had never wanted anything to do with him, despite being sorted to Slytherin with Tom as the prefect. At the very least, to only have as little interactions as possible.

But who would have thought? Tom was more persistent than he thought, telling him stuff that made the situation, the relationship, between them more complicated than ever.

He looked obsessed, insisting that they were soulmates. Destined for each other.

And well, Tom wasn't entirely wrong, but not in that way. No. Never. They were like.... fated enemies, destined to kill the other. As what had been prophesied.

Then things happened.

And Tom began to feel.

He felt so much emotions to Harry, good or bad. It made him feel... human. Vulnerable to these emotions that can make him weak.

He hated it at first.

But then, Tom experienced more and more of the warmth of Harry Evans. His care and kindness, the mercy and gentleness he shows occasionally.

And Tom craves.

He yearns.

Tom wanted more of Harry.

And things went bad from there before it slowly yet eventually turned up.

Tom feels so much at once.

Love. Love. Love.

Tom loves.

Tom cares.

And at some point, Harry loves back.
