Team Horcrux: a Harry X Voldemort|Tom

A New Plan...

A/N: Parseltongue and Newspaper/Letters and Canon Divergence

Narrator's POV

The Malfoy Heir stood in front of the Boy-Who-Lived, Harry having already reached for his wand and the other horcruxes emerging from the items even though they were invisible to Draco.

"What are you doing here?" Harry asked

"I could ask the same about you." Draco replied, then remembering his task, "You have to come with me."

"Why the hell would I do that?" Harry asked, eyeing the exit

"You have to, Potter, the Dark Lord is going to kill me and my family if you don't." Draco answered, his tone wavering between confidence and begging

"That sounds like a you problem." Harry replied

Draco seemed shocked at the words but regained composure, "We can do this the easy way or the hard way, Potter."

"Mmmmm, I think I choose neither." Harry said, "'Cause I have another idea."

"Like what?" Draco said, tired in every way

"I'll tell you, after you make an Unbreakable Vow to never tell anyone." Harry said

Draco held a hand towards Harry, the other taking his hand, "I, Draco Lucius Malfoy, swear to never reveal the information Harry Potter tells me. So I pledge it, so mote be it."

A faint light appeared between their hands, the vow made, Draco couldn't say anything about what he said to anyone or he would lose his magic.

"I'm going to defeat Voldemort, and if you can get me in and I can fake being your prisoner." Harry explained

"And if you fail?" Draco asked

"I won't, but you'll be safe either way, I won't mention that you helped me unless I succeed." Harry assured

A little while later, Draco and Harry sat side-by-side on the Knight Bus, making their way to the Leaky Calderon to complete their plan, Harry trying to decide which Horcrux would remain while the others merged.

Diary he was closest to, but Locket did bring up good points about knowing Voldemort best and the locations of the others.

Ring would be merged, he knew that, but Diary or Locket?

Meanwhile, at Hogwarts, 'Savior' Ron Weasley was getting special lessons from Headmaster Dumbledore, being shown everything Albus knew about the Dark Lord.

"Do I really need to know his backstory to defeat him, Headmaster?" Ron complained

"As Muggle Philosopher Sun Tzu said, 'know thy enemy'." Dumbledore replied

Ron frowned, he hated all this memorizing, he didn't see the importance of knowing Riddle was an unwanted bastard who decided to be evil.

Back in the Lovegood Residence, Luna Lovegood, Neville Longbottom, Hermione Granger and the Weasley Twins sat together, discussing what to do about Harry's death and Ron's 'promotion'.

"We don't think it's real-" Fred began

"-a prophecy that sounds almost exactly like the one about Harry and Nosey but changed a bit to sound like Ron?" George continued

"Not likely, sounds a bit suspicious." The Twins chorused

"And immediately after Harry disappeared? Maybe Dumbledore is planning something." Neville added, hoping for the best regarding Harry's fate

"The Nargels don't like it either." Luna commented

"We have to do something." Hermione muttered

Lord Voldemort sat in a meeting with his Death Eaters, tapping his fingers impatiently against the table.

Bellatrix LeStrange, like always, was mention insane things, but remained ignored.

"At least she's a good fuck." Voldemort thought, trying to ignore other thoughts he had regarding a certain missing Gryffindor...
