~*Chapter One*~

Hey peoples!! This is my first fanfic, so plz R&R. ^-^

Severus walked slowly toward the darkened house at he top of the hill. He knew that Voldermort was here. The description that the Potter boy had given matched this place almost exactly. Severus wrapped his cloak tighter around him and made sure his wand was near his hand. He had to be prepared. Fear twanged at the back of his head, but he ignored it. His goal was more important that his petty fears. Severus stopped at the small cemetery that sat near the edge of the town. He walked through it, looking for the right headstone. A moment later he found it. Severus stopped in front of it and couldn't help but shudder. TOM RIDDLE the headstone said. He noticed that the headstone was cracked and parts of it had fallen off. The 'TO' of Tom had fallen off, and the 'DLE', and some of the second 'D', of Riddle had also fallen away. Severus sneered at the headstone and looked behind him. He stared at the place where Voldermort had been reborn. A chill filled him. Voldermort was reborn. The phrase alone was enough to make even the strongest wizard, including him, shudder with horrible fear. He looked back at he headstone. That had been the same place that the Potter boy had been tied to. Severus shut his eyes a moment to remember Dumbledore's words; he was tied to the headstone and Wormtail proceeded to complete conduct a spell. After taking some of the dust that was Voldermort's father, and after cutting his own arm off, he took Harry's blood and then Voldermort was here once again. Harry was made to watch as Voldermort welcomed his children back. A horrible experience for the boy. "Horrible indeed." Severus thought to himself with a slight smile. Although his hatred for the boy's father was fierce, he could not help but feel a little exuberant at the thought of Harry surviving Voldermort for a second time. And the names the boy had given had confirmed Severus's suspicions. His own Slytherin students had parents who worked for the dark Lord once again. Lucius Malfoy along with his old school cronies Goyle and Crabbe. Severus clenched his hand into a fist and skirted around the other headstones. He stopped when he heard a noise. Heart pounding in his chest, Severus pulled his hood down as a figure appeared "You have betrayed the master."
