first story on this account.

It's short and I'm sorry, but I needed it out here so that it could help force me to keep writing.

Disclaimer: I don't own it. Not the characters. Not anything.

Prologue

The old house was dark when the old gardener made his way in. The Riddles were dead and gone, so no one should have been in that old upper room. And yet, there was a light on. Frank, the gardener, figured that it had to be some kids, stealing or whatever kids do to be problems in society. But he was sadly mistaken.

When he had gone up to that room (quietly so as he could scare the little burglars out of their socks) he didn't hear the giggles or the snickers of children like he expected. Instead he heard a voice that sounded much older. The man, because if it's not a kid it must be a man, had an almost 'hiss' to his words.

"Now what isss it that you feel the need to report" the man said, with a sneer Frank assumed.

"Well, m-my Dark Lord," another voice stuttered. This one deeper in pitch, but nowhere near as confident. "T-through my studies, with different seers and such, I believe that I have discovered another world."

When that voice finished there was an awkward silence in the room, until the first voice finally spoke up.

"Oh do you?" It said, sounding amused. There was some more silence where Frank figured the second voice must have nodded, because not too long after that the first voice spoke up again.

"I'm asssuming you have proof, do sshow it" It said with what sounded like impatience.

"Y-yes, of course. I do not have any more of the supplies I need to show you first hand, but I do have my memories."

Then it was quiet. Frank was starting to ache from the crouched position he was in, and was about to stand up, leave, and then call the police, when he saw movement from the corner of his eye.

He quickly turned his head and tried to see what had moved. To his surprise, he saw the biggest snake he had ever seen before, coming right at him. He closed his eyes and prepared for the worst. But when after a minute or two of nothing happening, he opened his eyes and saw the end of the snake going into the room he was outside of. This left him alone in the hallway. He then heard the first voice.

"Marvelousss" it hissed. "Sssimply exsscellent. I must have these powersss. Can you bring one here?"

"Yes of course your lordship!" the second voice said excitedly. "I just need these certain ingredients, and I shall have it done by the end of the month at least! Now what I need is-"

"Wait" the first voice interrupted. "Nagini ssayss we have a vissiter. Wormtail, why don't you let him in."

The gardener had a bad feeling, but before he could leave, the door opened. A rat faced man looked down at him and smiled.

So yeah, done with prologue.

This is for me to practice writing, so please if you see problems of any sort tell me how to fix them.

Thanks!
