Since I’m unable to see something without coming up with a cracky AU, my mind totally went to an AU where Harry still found Voldemort weirdly hot after his resurrection. Harry’s horrified at first, since it was bad enough finding mini Voldemort hot, but this?? His dick doesn’t seem to care tho so Harry just goes back to compartmentalizing things really well and trying not to think about it too much.
And then the ministry battle happens in fifth year and Voldemort appears, to which an angry Harry yells, “How dare you show your handsome face in the ministry!”
His anger fizzles right out into embarrassment when he realizes what exactly he said, but the forces of the universe refuse to align and make time go back just a few seconds.
Voldemort stops whatever speech he was about to go into. Sirius kind of wants to faint and manages out a weak, “What.”
Bellatrix just nods happily. “Isn’t he? At least you appreciate proper beauty.”
Harry tries to die for having something in common with Bellatrix, but sadly no one’s trying to shoot a killing curse at him.
“Potter,” Voldemort hisses, which Harry also finds totally un-hot. “You’re a bit young for me, but if I haven’t managed to kill you in a few years, seek me out.”
“Never,” Harry replies, very valiantly.
Voldemort’s face does a shifty thing that Harry recognizes as the motion to raise an eyebrow, though there aren’t any brows over Voldemort’s creepy red eyes. Also not hot.
“…is seventeen too young for you?”
