Summary: I think it speaks for itself.


"Surely you see the power we possess, nephew. Now you can join your family and bow before the Dark Lord, or you can be destroyed." Bellatrix sneered as Xander stood defiantly in from of her. He had refused to give up Draco's new location, yet curiously allowed himself to be taken in by the Death Eaters and brought before Voldemort.

His reaction to his insane aunt's command confused her. He laughed like she had told him the funniest joke in the world. "Aunt Trixie, I will bow before and call one 'Dark Lord' Master in my lifetime, and it sure ain't Mr. 'Poster boy for old people with erectile dysfunction there'," he informed her with a smile.

"Young fool, you will pay the price for your lack of vision!" Voldemort rasped from his seat on his throne.

"And you owe Darth Sidious and George Lucas both money for copyright infringement, lizard lips," Xander shot back with a roll of his eyes.

Any further comments were cut shot as the entire room seemed to shake with a rythmic series of small tremors. Each tremor growing more powerful than the last, almost reminiscent of the scene with the approaching T-Rex from Jurassic park.

"What /is/ that shaking, Alex?" Narcissa inquired from where she was keeping well off to the side of the festivities with Severus. Neither spy was dumb enough to risk themselves proclaiming loyalty to any side when the knew the boy could take care of himself and the Dark Lord was too stubborn to be afraid.

"Oh, that. You remember that dimensional cross-rip Puff and Dawn accidentally caused? It kind of let my Master and some of his friends visit. Judging from the sound, I'd say that's the advance force of AT-AT's coming to soften up the terrain before a real Dark Lord shows up to teach your decrepit old man a lesson," Xander cheerfully replied even as he drew and activated his lightsaber to deflect an Avada Kedavra Wormtail shot at him back into the little rat on instinct alone.

Further reactions to Xander's words and actions were cut short as the wall behind the Twilight Lord exploded in with a hailstorm of smoke and debris. From the hole where the once whole wall to Voldemort's throne room within Riddle manor lie, an distinctive sounds began to fill the ears of all assembled.

Whoo-Khsss

Whoo-Khsss

Whoo-Khsss

Whoo-Khsss

Xander took on a look reminiscent of his best Jack Nicholson impression from the shining as he called out, "Heerrreee's ANI!"

END...For Now
