Avery Sr Voldemort POV

by SunshineRays06

This is written for the Death Eater Challenge. I wrote it as if Avery Sr. was still alive in 1997-1998. Harry Potter Wiki has no death date for him. I hope though that through my research my guesses are right. That Avery Junior said he was under the Imperious Curse, I figured it was him since Avery Senior was one of the first followers he would be more dedicated.

Voldemort sat in the foyer of Malfoy Manor scratching his chin thinking about his followers. He thought about who was devoted to all of his deeds to the purification of the Wizarding World. The time was becoming closer, to where Potter's time when come to an end. He knew he would need only the greatest and strongest followers on the top. Avery Sr. came into his mind…

Ahh, Avery Sr., One of my former classmates and one of my first followers. I cannot forget that he is part of the Sacred Twenty-Eight. His views to purify the Wizarding World were strong and supported me in every way; even if it meant to destroy the lives of Mudbloods and all blood traitors. Avery even looked for me all those years. At least he was loyal, unlike his pathetic excuse for a son. He was indeed one of my true supporters. I should have known that Avery Sr. would always be at my side. Even in school he stayed by my side, through our fair share detentions and taunting those filthy Mudbloods and blood traitors. He lived true to the Slytherin house, cunning and very ambitious. He was very intelligent and he was a fellow member of the Slug Club. We however, knew that that Professor Slughorn was very gullible. We were his favorite students after all. We could get anything we wanted, expect for getting out of our few detentions with that professor. Avery was even a beater for the Quidditch Team and when we had lost a match, he made his wrath known. No one knew to stand in his path or even look him in the eye. A very sore loser when he came to such a silly sport. The ladies definitely flocked to him. Avery was arrogant in the fact that the ladies believed that he was handsome, but with that he became very manipulative. Avery used his looks to get his way. I found that it was very great trait to have. Avery however shared the same belief that love was just a Muggle born idea. He only married out of duty to have an heir and to instill the pure blood beliefs into that so called son of his. Even though he does not show the same bloodlust as Bellatrix, he surly could have been my right hand man during this war. His enthusiasm to have purification will help revolutionize our world, after I have killed Potter.
