    Summary

    Harry found himself in the headmaster's office again. Dumbledore was staring towards the door so Harry turned around as well.
    Tom Riddle strode through the door and stopped in front of Dumbledore's desk. His eyes were still red but where there was a snake-faced moster with slits for a nose before there stood a man in his mid-twenties now.
    Riddle spoke: "Dumbledore, so nice of you to meet with me. I have a proposition for you."
    Dumbledore considered the man carefully before asking: "What proposition could you have that made you sure enough I would agree to it?"
    Riddle smirked. "I've come to offer peace."

    Summary

    Harry can't sleep because of his neighbours's constant fighting, and he ends up falling asleep at work. Tom Riddle, CEO, is not particularly happy.

    or: The chance of being fired was pretty high, but based on the gaze that penetrated him to the core, the chance of being fucked senseless into that mahogany desk wasn’t low either.

    Summary

    Voldemort smiled. It was a cold, creeping thing. Truly human despite it being on a serpentine face.

    And it was then Harry could see the real Lord Voldemort. Not the madman throwing curses around indiscriminately, but the man who had lured legions of purebloods to his cause, Tom Riddle who had blinded all his teachers bar one.

    It was calculating. The long-game personified.

    --

    Harry would never have guessed that his animagus would have been a snake. Nor the trouble it would bring when Voldemort found out. After all, who needs to kill an enemy when you can keep them?

    Summary

    When a throw-away comment about the Boy-Who-Lived catches Lucius Malfoy by surprise, he starts to investigate about the boy’s whereabouts. Finding the Saviour of the Wizarding World treated like a common house-elf is not at all what he expected. Not one to let an opportunity pass when it presents itself, he takes Harry in as his ward before someone else can whisk him away, securing the boy’s fame and power for himself and giving him the education he is sorely lacking.

    Locked into his room by the Dursleys and half starved to death, Harry hasn’t much hope that anything will change until he goes back to Hogwarts. But then Draco Malfoy’s father shows up of all people and offers him a place at Malfoy Manor.
    Highly suspicious at first, he finds that the Malfoys are kinder than he expected and Harry slowly starts to let himself believe that things might be looking up for him at once. But those around him are not as trusting as he is and when Dumbledore tries to warn Harry away from the Malfoys, Harry will have to fight to keep his new-found family and keep the fragile trust he has in them.
