Voldemort smirked at the couple in front of him. Fresh out of Hogwarts, perfectly ripe to fall into his clutches. He almost chuckled at the thought. He reached out his hand, his fingers curling in towards his palm in a "come hither" gesture. Their eyes widened and in sync they both took steps back. His smile widened and a small noise, a hiss that was almost a purr, left his mouth followed by words.
"Come. Join my ranks. Think of all the power that would be at your grasp if you joined me. Wouldn't it be splendid?" James wrapped his arm around Lily, pulling her close to his body. "Now, now. I won't hurt your dear Lily, even if she is a mudblood. She has enough power to be forgiven for her heritage. Come." Lily pulled from James grasp and made towards Voldemort. His smirk began to turn into a smile but it abruptly stopped when she spat, the wad of saliva landing mere inches away from the Dark Lord's feet. His eyes widened.
"Do you think that everyone is as corrupted as you?" she shouted. James put his hand on her shoulder but she shook it off. "You have killed more innocent people than any other. Do you think we would want to join a MURDERER!" She looked him up and down. "Even the worst serial killer of my kind would be as innocent as a newborn baby compared to you! You are the scum of scum!" For a few moments the three of them were silent. Voldemort could not understand what was not tempting about power. It was all he had wished for his entire life, his only goal. He only wanted to make himself stronger. He only wanted to destroy all weakness in the world. And who was this mudblood child to defy him? His eyes glowed red.
"This is the only time I am making this offer, don't count on me making it again."
"Oh, I won't." James had his arm around Lily again. He thought of home and the two disapparated, gone from the scene. Voldemort watched the place from where they had disappeared, knowing that this wasn't the last time the three of them would cross paths. After all, this was only the first.
A/n: just a short little something brought from nostalgia the last movie brought. Please review if you like :)
