Snubbing Destiny by umbrafix

Voldemort x Harry

After the graveyard
Voldemort takes Harry and keeps him safe
Take over ministry under a glamour - good at it
Has the Tonks adopt Harry
They become friends-ish
Harry travels and writes him letters
They get together when he’s 19/20
Bdsm
They are immortal
