Chapter Text
“Crucio!” Umbridge said as she grinned, Hermione screamed “STOP STOP PLEASE!” She cried as she watched Harry convulse as the poisonous witch kept her wand on the teen. Harry slipped off the chair falling onto the ground, stopping the curse and looked down at the dark-haired teen. “Well, are you going to talk?” Umbridge asked as she pushed Harry onto his back with her foot.
Harry looked up at her painting in pain but said nothing, this did not please the pink toad as she kicked him making Harry’s friend gasp in shock and horror “Tell me what I want to know and I will stop.” She hisses at him, Harry just groans and spits out blood over her pink rug, she sneers at him and takes a step back. “Very well you leave me no choice.” She said with glee.
“You can’t do this!” Ginny cried as she and the others struggled to help Harry but with the Slytherin students holding them in place, they couldn’t move.
“You find I can.” Umbridge tells her as she flicks her wand “Crucio!” She snarls again as she enjoys watching Harry twitch on the floor. Hermione turns to Draco who stood there watching a strange look cross his face, she looked between Harry and Draco …Sorry Harry…she thought.
“How can you stand by and watch this Malfoy? What do you think will happen when Mate realises you witness this and did nothing?” She yelled at him, Draco looked at her with a frown as he pointed his wand at her.
“Shut up you have no idea what you’re talking about!” He hisses at her,
“He will come for everyone in this room that has hurt him and that will include you Malfoy and he won’t offer you mercy because your father is his loyal follower.” She tells him as Harry finally starts to scream in pain and the fear sets in.
Harry screams louder as large black leathery wings force their way from his back splattering everyone in the room in blood. Umbridge stops and gasps as she looked down at herself before seeing Harry’s face seeing his eyes were black as Onyx and he has two fangs passed his top lip. “You’re nothing but filth half-blood dark creature!” She spat at Harry “Crucio!” She shouted louder as she continued her torture of Harry. The teen screams until he becomes silent but still she didn’t stop, moments later Snapes come bursting through the door and fires a spell at Umbridge knocking the wand out of her hand. “Severus, what do you think you’re doing?” She growls at the potion master as he glares at everyone in the room including Draco.
“Following orders.” He tells her as he walks over to Harry and kneels by his side to see the teen passed out. He gently moves the wings to the side, moves Harry into his arm, and poured a potion down his throat before scooping him up.
“Whose orders the only order you’re meant to follow is mine!” She hisses as shadows loomed over her as a group of men entered the room.
“He is following mine.” A dark-haired man tells her as his wings fold up behind him as his dark-eyed roam over the scent in front of him.
“And you are?” She puffs out her chest to try and make herself look important but she ends up looking more like a puffed-up toad as the man ignores her for kneeling and looking into Harry’s face.
“Shhh it's okay I have you now.” He whispered to Harry before kissing his temples as she scooped him up into his arms.
“They ripped themselves from his back, it will take time to heal, his body wasn’t ready for them. You will need to feed him when you have him safe.” Snape tells the man as he moves Harry as gently as he could in his arms.
“Thank you, Severus, I will let you deal with this...” He looks Umbridge up and down in disgust “Witch.” He says as his eyes turned to Slytherin students in blank expressions, Draco flinched as Hermione leans forward and whispers.
“Told you.”
Umbridge looked like she was ready to explode on the spot as she pushed herself between Snape and the stranger. “You have no authority here! Who do you think you are?” The pink toad, snapped as she picked up her wand and pointed it at the man in the robe.
“I’m Lord Voldemort and I am here to claim what is rightfully mine,” Voldemort tells her as he walks back out of the room carrying Harry leaving everyone shocked and stunned. Ron took a step forward but was stopped by Hermione who shook her head and mouthed the word ‘Don’t’ to him making him frown at her, she smiled sadly and held his hand. Severus takes the wand off Umbridge making her blink up at him and splutter.
“Voldemort was never here, Headmistress Umbridge used an unforgivable curse on a student who has since disappeared,” Severus said coldly.
“What no what isn’t what happens!” She screeched “Boys back me up!” She yelled at the Slytherins who looked away from her. “I will tell everyone body that the boy who lived is a half-blood filth whose mate is He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named...”
“No one will believe you, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named isn’t back you said so yourself, and we’re not going to share that memory only of you torturing a student,” Hermione speaks out.
“No idea what she talking about Harry went missing after you used an unforgivable on him,” Ron says with a large smirk on his face.
“Poor Harry,” Luna says, before Umbridge could say any more Snape used a spell that had her wrapped up and gagged and had her bouncing behind him up and down the halls.
The others followed Snape to the Great Hall Ron frowned as he looked down at the ground losing interest in seeing the pink toad being used as a beach ball. “How did you know about Harry and...well you know?” He asked Hermione.
“I wasn’t fully sure, but after what happened at the end of last year his creature inheritance surfaced. I thought with the ritual that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named did, by using some of Harry’s blood it would have made their bond stronger than it already was and it would have forced him to have the same creature inheritance as Harry.” She whispered to him, Ron just frowned not sure if he was following what she was meaning. “I figured he would have felt Harry’s pain through their bond the way, he did when Harry was forced to use the blood quill...”
“What do you mean?” Ron asked screwing up his nose as he looked at her; she rolled her eye and shook her head.
“Do you remember the letters and the packages Harry got that somehow slipped past Toad Face?”
“Ummm,” Ron answered; he could remember Harry getting packages but not much else.
“Honestly Ron how you manage to survive this long is a shock. He sent them through Snape, he must have Umbridge didn’t monitor those she thought were her allies.” Ron frowned again as they moved to the great hall and sit at the tables.
“So we’re just meant to be okay with Harry being a mate to what’s his face?” He asked
“What choice do we have.” After a moment of quiet between the group other than the head of houses coming to find out what was going on Neville turned to Hermione and asked.
“How did you know Malfoy would know.” He frowned at his own choice of words but didn’t try to change them.
“I didn’t I was going on a whim, I saw he looked troubled and hoped maybe something had been said.”
Meanwhile...
Voldemort carries the unconscious to his chambers and places him on the bed, despite Severus giving Harry a healing potion the teen still hasn’t woken up. He rolled Harry onto his side and looked at the wings, they were smaller than his and they were torn up in place and all Voldemort could think of was the Cruciatus could have caused this, he stroked the wings gently and watched them as they disappear back into Harry’s back. All that was left was two long jagged lines down his back the healing potion couldn’t heal those wounds only his blood could.
He moved Harry onto his back before hitting down on his wrist to bring blood to the surface, he then placed it over Harry’s parted lips where the two fangs still poked out. He let the blood pour down Harry’s throat he soon felt the tongue lap at the bite. “That’s it drink up.” He tells him softly as black eyes look up at him but they soon faded into dark green orbs, smiling Voldemort pulled his wrist free once the bites had healed. Harry was still in a daze and soon found himself falling back to sleep whispering.
“Who are you?”
