Update sn lovin it

Fantastic

continue

Wow oh wow please please please update again soon

Please review! You asking me to 'Update' is akin to me asking you to 'review'! It works both ways...

Well, doesn't that make the title of this fic, "Manipulation is key", even more appropriate?

Adj dfggdd EF

Hi, this story is really good but I was wondering if you were going to complete this

Love it!

nvm I decided he is just messing with people's minds to account for harry not turning voldie in

5am, so I shouldn't be reviewing, but I will anyways.

Basically, this story has (or seems to, to my sleep deprived brain) lots of loopholes and things that logically don't make sense. They are minor enough that I plan to ignore them and keep reading. I believe this is one of your earlier works, so likely you improved tons. '

I adore this so much. I love dark harry!

I love thiss story and i cant wait for the next chapter! Thanks so much for writing this! )

Please update soon! If you don't, may I do a spin-off of your story 'Manipulation Is Key'?

~ If they didn't attack him, it meant that they didn't even want to be there. He continued to read his book, pinpointing exactly where the intruder was. He could play with the best of them.

~ He was hallucinating, he had to be. Voldemort…hitting on him…sexy…Voldemort being sexy and hitting on him as Tom Riddle….nope still nothing.

~ He didn't trust Voldemort. How could someone so evil seem so nice and on second thought, how did he get himself into these things?

~ "Manipulation is key," He said secretively. Harry gulped he wasn't sure whether he liked this anymore. "This is weird." Harry stated bluntly. "I'm talking to the same person who tried to kill me when I was a child."

~ Kage Hughes

Voldemort is DADA Professor and Dumbledore and Snape don't see it? Hilarious.

Even Voldemort cannot unlock this closet?

~ I've known that spell since I was old enough to remember.

Are you telling me Harry is Salazar reincarnated?

~ The Death Eaters were on a rampage and right now, he didn't think he could stop them.

Amusing.

~ He lied; everything he said was a lie.

Why do you think so? Don't you remember? "His pain, his sorrow, his regret, tasting it in his mouth like the air he breathed. He didn't want to, he had to. It wasn't by choice it was by force. He had a name to live up to."

~ Harry knew the man felt nothing, and it made it that much easier to deal with every time the man kissed him.

Don't be so sure.

~ Stay the bloody hell away from me

Why? Because of loathing? But don't forget guilt, and hurt...

~ if you could hide your emotions as easily as Voldemort, then you'd be nothing but a liar

Changing the prophecy... Is it possible?

~ Sirius was fine…Voldemort had saved him... Voldemort had killed her…because she had tried to kill Sirius.

Where is the jar of Lucius? What's the evidence in it?

Harry's mood swings...

Hatred, distain, disgust - from Dumbledore?

Dumbledore has Lucius as his pawn, and probably controls Morfin.

~ the man who'd killed his parents

He was under Imperio; few are fortunate enough to be able to fight it.

~ On Harry's orders you are to be killed, I'm truly sorry, Avada Kedavra.

What kind of nonsense is it? How can Dumbledore be under Harry's orders?

~ Harry would soon be strong enough to kill the one person he wasn't strong enough to betray.

How can it be easier to kill a person than to betray him?

~ Hopefully, in the morning, Hedwig would be willing to deliver a letter.

Why didn't Tom ever ask Harry where is he going for summer? Did he know how bad Dursleys were? Somewhat, yes, because Harry went to his Manor running away from his uncle...

~ That child needed to die like his Father.

How do you know how Vernon died?

~ It wasn't fair what had happened to Harry. Everything bad seemed to happen to his Harry.

Yes, that's one strange point in common amongst most books.

~ There's not really any thing else I can spend my time on, would you rather I use the Cruciatus on the Death Eaters for not putting their masks on right?

Thanks for amusement.

~ ...the evil grin... I like those, Dark Arts that aren't legally illegal... full-blown laugh...

~ Crabbe and Goyle at the same time…Harry had to wonder.

~ "For the better I suppose, the house was horrid on the boy." Snape added sympathetically

It's interesting, Professor Snape in general wasn't sympathetic to Potter.

Dumbledore jailing Sirius? Howling! When Remus gets the news, werewolves will be together with Voldemort ripping Dumbledore to pieces.

~ "No, I'll go back, if only to mess with him."

Make sure not to be hurt by him.

~ We'll storm the whole damn jail... Just know what you're getting into.

Allow Tom to help you.

Why is Harry Sirius's Secret Keeper? Or how does Fidelius work?

~ I hate you. I swear I do.

I hope not. Hate is too strong emotion towards your friends.

~ Alright, don't get yourself kidnapped or hurt.

It's not a joking matter. Don't let Dumbledore destroy you.

~ Harry cursed himself under his breath as he made himself forget about Tom.

Why are you angry at Tom?

~ it isn't a game anymore

I hope Morfin is burned to lifeless ashes with fire, though fiendfire would have been better.

Why cannot Harry and Tom talk out their feelings? Darn!

~ I won't let myself hurt you again.

Good. Just don't break your promise.

~ I don't have anyone to shop for except Hermione and I've already gotten her gift.

What about gift for Tom?

Sirius and Severus?

So Draco attacked Severus, Harry noticed Severus is late, Harry and Tom look for him and find malicious Draco... I didn't expect Narcissa is as much Dumbledore's lackey as Lucius and Draco.

~ Dead men don't walk among the living often.

But two were already seen. Inferi?

How can Aurors enter the Black Manor? Fidelius, darn you!

Dumbledore kneels? Who is his Master? Danger!

~ Dumbledore'd been under the Cruciatus curse for more than an hour

I wish he was dead.

Grindelwald? Is? Dumbledore's? Master?

~ Oh yes, there will be revenge, and it will be served so cold even Dumbledore will not dare challenge it.

Interesting.

~ Tom always listened, always turned around, and it hurt to see him walking away.

Why? Why doesn't Tom turn around? What is going on?

~ I want you to bite me... Because I'm not leaving you alone,

Thank you. For talking, for listening, for being together.

~ Leave me alone!

Never.

~ do you keep on forgetting that he can feel your raw emotion and not just what you're showing him.

Yes, he keeps forgetting.

~ I want to go kill Dumbledore

And I want to go kill Grindelwald.

~ Voldemort was dying

Bite him!

~ Regulus turned to the wall that Dumbledore had been slaughtered against and sighed.

I hope Dumbledore is dead. Truly. And will not return, like Morfin and Lucius returned.

~ For once this reporter brings the honest truth. I hope that you can understand the view points of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named and the Boy-Who-Lived. I fear that anyone who stands against the two will not survive, but the question is: Are they doing it for revenge, or are they trying to change our world for the better?

If they slaughtered family of Dumbledore, it would be revenge, but killing Dumbledore himself is justice, for otherwise he would have destroyed lives of others, and restraining him without killing him is problematic.

~ Do you know what it was like, dammit? To watch you go down, to watch the damn fool stand over you in triumph. I thought you were dead….I thought I'd lost you….I thought you were dead.

~ Though what Grindelwald didn't know, was that no Unspeakable would turn their back on Harry Potter.

Best luck to the Unspeakables!

~ "The snakes…in my dreams," Tom almost panicked

Why panick? It will be fine, Grindelwald cannot win against union of Harry, Tom and the Unspeakables. The weakest point is Tom - he isn't supported by the Unspeakables as unequivocally as Harry is.

~ necromancer

So, I have guessed correctly: they are Inferi. Unusual sort, with some signs of original soul and intelligence, and at the same time obeying their master without question.

~ "Con-artist," "Slytherin!"

~ "Sanctimoniacaedo," "I had hoped he had at least a little good in him. I guess not, I killed him, Tom, he's dead." "Is it catching up to you?" "Yeah." and Tom held him as Harry cried.

~ He didn't want to fear Tom, and he didn't want to be guilty for something that was in effect inherently a good thing. Though the act was evil by nature, the outcome was beneficial to everyone.

The act wasn't so evil. The spell which killed Grindelwald, caused death only because Grindelwald couldn't live without the Dark Arts. I don't know what kind of spell it was, but, as Harry told earlier, Gellert had no good at all in him.

Don't the vampires have any Veritaserum for the trial? Why do they lie so easily?

~ amusement, grin and laugh

~ Happiness, Amusement, they were so different coming from Tom, so…pure. They made him feel giddy and high. The emotion was unadulterated, complete, not dimmed by overuse or misconception.

~ Especially, because he knew his family was becoming safer by the day, and that they were all happy.

Good morrow, good day, good eve, good night, good luck, to Harry, Tom, Severus, Sirius, Regulus, Remus, Drazen, Minerva...

Is this the end? Nooooooooez! Anywho... I love how close Tom and Harry have become... I look forward to whatever you have planned next xD

Please don't be complete, please don't be complete, please don't be complete, please don't be complete, please don't be complete, please don't be complete.
