DISCLAIMER: Harry Potter doesnt belong to me
PROLOGUE
The wind blew its horrors as lightning crackled across the sky.
"That ring carried a curse of extraordinary power, to contain it is all we can hope for; I have trapped the curse in one hand for the time being. It will eventually break free of its restraints and spread once again, killing you in a painful and humiliating way"
"How long, Severus?"
"Had you arrived sooner, I could have done more to save you. I cannot tell, maybe a year. You cant halt the spell forever. It strengthens over time."
With an effort Dumbledore straightened and stroked Fawkes."Well, this makes matters more straightforward"
Snape looked utterly perplexed, Dumbledore smiled.
"I refer to the plan Lord Voldemort is revolving around me. His plan to have the Malfoy boy kill me. He is a danger to others as well as himself. Offer him your guidance. Let him gain your trust. The boy cant have my blood on his hands. I will not have his soul completely ripped on my account."
Snape raised his eyebrows. "It has been damaged already. Draco is driven by power. He cannot be stopped. By doing so, I will have to face the Dark Lord's wrath. We need to find another way to keep you safe"
Dumbledore chuckled."I do not intend to have you face Lord Voldemort's wrath. I cannot be saved. You must kill me, Severus . Save me the pain and humiliation. I ask this one great favour of you as death is coming for me."
His tone was light but his blue eyes pierced Severus. At last Severus nodded as Fawkes clicked and flew right into the clearing sky.
"The boy is still in danger. We do not know what he does. Even I have been restricted access."
"Opposite or contrary forces are interdependent and interconnected in the natural world. As they interrelate with one another they give rise to each other. Love and hate are actually complementary not opposing forces. Their interaction always creates a dynamic effect. Making a whole greater than the separate beings. Time will alight the spark. It is a strange concept... When you have seen as much of life as I have, you will not underestimate the power of obsessive love. Voldemort always failed to understand this. The boy is safe. "
Feelings and Emotions were a strange concept to him. He never really understood or cared. Being powerful was all that mattered. He never followed... ANYONE. Everything he did was only to his benefit. Blame it on his genes or his training. He was a master manipulator and a charmer,one had a lasting effect on people. He got what he wanted always!
He smirked as he watched Lucius claw from pain. Draco Malfoy was a heartless bastard and he knew it!
"You are getting better at this Draco. Look at him scratch and writhe in pain. You haven't lifted your wand yet."
Voldermerts lipless mouth curved into something like a smile as he breathed."Finish him, we have somewhere to be."
The flash of green light illuminated the dingy cell as it ended.
