"Where are you taking me?" Sirius asked when the two aurors that were assigned to escort him started taking him in a direction that wasn't heading towards the ministry cells. At the moment Sirius's hands were handcuffed behind his back in the standard magical handcuffs used by the DMLE. "Do you two speak?" He asked in an irritated voice, the guards had not said a word to him since they had started dragging him to who knows where.
"Quiet Black," One of the aurors grunted.
"It's Sirius, actually," Sirius told them just before they pulled him into a nearby room. As soon as Sirius entered the room he found it to be nearly completely empty besides the single chair at one end of the room. Sitting in the chair was a man that Sirius rather easily recognised, he was a couple of years older than Sirius, his hair was well-kept and combed, his face clean-shaven and as ugly as Sirius remembered it to be. There was also the scar that ran down the left side of the man's face, Sirius's lips curved up slightly since he remembered that he was the one that had given him that scar during the last war. "Hello Nott," Sirius greeted, sounding less than pleased to see him. "Long time no see."
"Not long enough," Nott glared at him. "I must admit, I was surprised to hear that you had escaped Azkaban, quite impressive. Especially for the black sheep of the Black family."
"I'm no sheep, I'm a proud lion," Sirius smirked. "I think the only sheep here would be the one who bowed his head and followed a madman's words."
"He would have rid the world of mudbloods and kept us purebloods in our rightful places," Nott growled. "Would have kept imbeciles like you from ruining our world."
"The only problems I see in this world are people like you!" Sirius hissed. "I saw you during the war! You were never under the imperius curse and we both know it! Nobody was controlling you!"
"True," Nott chuckled as he stood up, pulling out his wand. "But here's the thing, with the right amount of money, nobody cares. They still don't. There's no proof of your claims and even if there were, you were too busy hiding away from the dementors to tell anyone about it. You see, Black, I still owe you for this..." Nott gestured to his scar. "And quite frankly, I can't risk you being out and about. Boys." He clicked his fingers and the two aurors aimed their wands at Sirius.
"Great," Sirius said in a disgusted voice. "You two should be proud of yourselves."
"Quiet Black," One of the aurors growled, the tip of his wand glowing green. He was about to say more but was cut off when Venom hopped down from the ceiling and smashed his fists into the aurors heads, sending them both down to the ground.
"What the fuck?!" Sirius and Nott both blurted out upon seeing Venom, he was currently in his smaller form with just his spider logo and a pair of white eyes on his head.
"Hello," Venom's deep voice echoed across the room as he moved forwards on all fours, Sirius quickly stepped back and Venom moved past him and towards Nott. "We would advise you to give up, that is if you know what's good for you."
"What the hell are you?! You freak!" Nott aimed his wand at him.
"We? We are Venom!" Venom said proudly as he stood up on his legs.
"You're dead!" Nott hissed. "Avada Kedavra!" His killing curse shot towards Venom who leapt out of the way before he rushed towards Nott. Nott was barely able to blink before Venom reached him, Venom's face changed and suddenly a big mouth with a large row of teeth appeared, a few inches from Nott's face. "No!" Nott yelled just before Venom's head lunged forwards.
"Oh shit!" Sirius blurted out upon seeing Venom eat Nott's head. "Holy shit."
"Hmm, nutritious," Venom gave Sirius a toothy grin before his mouth changed back to black goo. "You're welcome." He told Sirius before turning invisible.
Sirius blinked and started looking around the room, he saw Nott's headless body before he stared at the two aurors, he was pretty sure that the two of them were dead, at least that was what he was guessing based on the dents on their heads. It was about a minute later before Sirius was able to put his thoughts into words.
"What the fuck?!"
*Line Break*
"What the hell was that?!" Harry yelled once he was alone with Venom in the chamber of secrets, having snuck in through the entrance from the forbidden forest. "You just killed the three of them!" He growled as he started pacing up and down while Venom's head was in front of him thanks to a black tentacle that had grown out of Harry's back.
"We had no choice, Harry," Venom told him, sounding very calm and patient.
"What the hell do you mean?" Harry growled, glaring at Venom. "We could have knocked them all out!"
"No, we couldn't have," Venom snorted. "There were there of them and only one Sirius, if the three were left alive they would still be able to go after Sirius. They could've told everyone that Sirius had attacked them. And they wouldn't have gone to jail anyway." Venom added, causing Harry to stop pacing and stare at him.
"Yes, they would've," He said in a confused voice.
"No, they wouldn't, you remember what they said?" Venom asked. "If they got caught then Nott would've just brought his way out of a sentence. Power is important, Harry, and in this world, it's the rich with power. If he got out then he would've gone for Sirius again and if Sirius is gone then we get sent back to the Dursleys, you don't want that, do you?" Venom asked innocently, leaning his head forward so he was right in Harry's face.
As Harry stared into Venom's white eyes, he couldn't help but think about his words. Truthfully, Harry wasn't happy about Venom killing anyone but he did understand why he did it. Those aurors were corrupt, who could tell how many people they had screwed over and killed? Did he really want them alive and ruining the lives of the people they're supposed to protect? As for Nott, Venom was right, he was just another rich asshole like Lucius Malfoy. Both of them undoubtedly should be in prison, yet they get to go home every night to their expensive mansions.
"Fine," Harry said after a few moments. "You're right, I don't like it, but I get it. Still, I would like it if we both agree in the future before we kill anyone."
"Deal, though I do hope that we get to eat more people," Venom grinned.
*Line Break*
"Are you okay, Harry?"
Harry looked up from his breakfast and saw Oliver Wood, his quidditch captain, staring at him. If he was being honest then Harry would have said that he was less than okay for a variety of reasons, the first of which was the fact that he had no idea what was happening with the whole Sirius situation. Part of Harry was wondering if he or Venom would get caught for what they did in the ministry, though he found that to be unlikely given that they were in and out pretty quickly. Truth be told, he was mostly worried about what would happen with Sirius.
Another reason for Harry's bad mood was because of Hermione, whenever Harry had gone to see Ron in the hospital wing he would find Ron to be okay but in a bit of a bad mood, understandable given that he was bedridden and in pain. But Hermione, for some reason was treating him like he was a complete stranger and would barely talk to him. More often than not she would find one reason or the other to leave the room when he entered, which was quite irritating.
"Harry?" Oliver spoke again, snapping Harry out of his thoughts. "You okay?" He asked again.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine," Harry said quickly. "Sorry, Oliver, I'm just tired."
"Hmm, if you're sure, just wanted to let you know that I've booked the pitch for tomorrow morning," Oliver grinned at him. "I want you to be there bright and early,"
"Our usual training time?" Harry asked, biting back a sigh. He still didn't understand why Oliver thought it was necessary to be there at five in the morning.
"No," Oliver said, his tone dropping slightly as he looked miserable for some reason. "The girls said they weren't going to keep coming if we kept waking up so early." Harry paused and looked down the end of the Gryffindor table where he saw the three Gryffindor chasers sitting together.
"Yo girls," Harry called out to them. "Love you," He said appreciatively. The girls stared at him and then at Oliver, it didn't take them long to piece together what had happened.
"You're welcome," The three said at the same time whilst smiling at him, causing Oliver to huff before he walked away whilst muttering about lazy teammates.
Harry had barely let out a chuckle when a letter dropped in front of him, he looked up and saw an owl flying away. Harry frowned before he took the letter and opened it. Once it was open he found out that it was a letter from Tonks. The letter basically stated that Sirius was safe and alive and that she would let him know once she had more information.
'All in all, I'd say we did pretty good.' Venom told Harry.
'Yeah,' Harry smiled. 'Yeah, we did very good,'
*Line Break*
"Excellent work, Harry," Andromeda praised him as he finished his latest potion.
"Thank you, Mrs Tonks," Harry smiled as she started bottling his potion.
"It is well deserved," She told him. "You're doing especially well given your lack of proper instruction in this subject."
"You had that talk with Dumbledore yet?" Harry couldn't help but ask.
"What? Oh yes," She huffed as she waved her wand to clean up the workstation. "That man, honestly, is so stubborn that sometimes I wonder if he was secretly born from my family. I told him about everything you told me about Snape."
"I bet he insisted you call him Professor Snape," Harry snorted.
"He did," Andromeda rolled her eyes. "I had also talked with my daughter earlier and mentioned her complaints as well. All I got was a few platitudes and him telling me that he trusts Snape and has no time to waste listening to baseless rumours."
"Not even surprised," Harry said with a small shake of his head. "I really think that unless Snape kills somebody in front of him, Dumbledore won't do anything about him."
"I fear that you're right," Andromeda sighed. "It's just a shame that so many others have to suffer because of one old man's refusal to see reality."
"Yeah," Harry couldn't help but agree. "Anyway, it's not my problem anymore. I'm glad that I have you as my tutor, you're awesome!"
"Thank you," She said, blushing slightly. "Now, since we're done, I think that you can go and enjoy the rest of your day."
"Thank you, I'll see you at our next lesson." Harry gathered his things and gave her a small nod before he headed out the door. He was only a few steps outside the room when he spotted Professor McGonagall walking towards him.
"Ah, Mr Potter," She said upon reaching him. "I just wanted to let you know that the headmaster has received word from the ministry regarding Mr Black's trial, it has been speeded up and will be happening in two days."
"Two days, Professor?" Harry asked.
"Yes, apparently there was an attempt on Mr Black's life," Professor McGonagall told him. "He is unharmed," She added quickly. "But it has been decided to speed up his trial so the chances of this happening again are reduced. There will be a short investigation into this incident before Mr Black is taken to court. Now, you and Mr Weasley and Miss Granger will be allowed to leave the school at eight along with Professor Lupin, I will also be attending this meeting. Expect to see the headmaster there as well. I don't want you to worry, all you'll have to do is be honest and tell them what happened, is that understood, Mr Potter?"
"Perfectly," Harry quickly nodded.
"Good," Professor McGonagall gave him a small smile. "I understand that this has been a rather trying time for you, but it is nearly over, Mr Potter. Now, if you have any concerns then I want you to come and speak to me, my door is always open for you."
"Got it, thank you, Professor." Harry smiled at her before he started walking away, waiting until he was far enough away before he dropped the smile.
'Nearly over,' Harry mentally repeated. 'I doubt it. If it's not one thing here then it's another, I doubt it'll ever be over.'
'Who can say for sure?' Venom asked. 'Either way, we'll be able to deal with it.' Venom said confidently.
'What makes you say that?' Harry wondered.
'We have each other,' Venom answered. 'That's all we need. Besides, this relationship of ours is even better than I anticipated it would be.'
'What is that supposed to mean?' Harry asked.
'I don't know if it's your magic, but I can feel us getting stronger,' Venom said happily enough that Harry couldn't help but imagine Venom's grin.

Found this story after seeing the “Emerald Dragon” Xover on ff.net. Your work is fantastic! Also can’t wait for Fleur to show up. It also says a Fleur/Harry tag on ff, so I assume that might be a pairing. Venom going to be screaming “make babies with Fleur” in Harry’s mind 24/7 when he meets her haha. Although Harry probably is used to Venom talking shit and teasing him by now xD

Another really awesome and fantastically entertaining chapter, thank you very much. Also, a slight suggestion, I believe that Tonk’s is the main love interest from what I remember. So maybe Venom could spawn another somebody out near the end of the story, one of very similar values, and that inhabit Harry Potter‘s love interest. This way, both of them, due to the effects of magic, housing a symbiotic that increases their cellular regeneration, Harry and Tonks, as well as any other love interest in the story, can live extraordinarily long lives. It might even offer a fun opportunity to create a sequel story, taking place for it in the future, in a sci-fi setting of some kind such as Mass Effect or Halo. Again, more of an idle thought from me, but seems like it might be a fun idea.
