Malfoy Manner My dear Death Eaters", the Dark Lord Voldemort greeted with a cruel smirk. " It would seem that Wormtail has proven of some use for a change" several of the Death eaters chuckled. " Within this book is the key to my victory against Dumbledore and his pesky order" he laughed as if he could see his enemies dead bodies. " Yes master those filthy mudbloods and muggle lover will surely see that we pure-bloods are on top" crackled the insane witch Bellatrix " Yes, Bella" the dark wizard smirked " with this spell book that Wormtail procured for us. He held an old book with holy war on top. " My lord what exactly do you have planned?" questioned the voice of Severus Snape " you can't except that some book from some sniveling coward gave you. Voldemort took a look at his Death Eater with a frown " do you question your lord Severus?" he asked coldly. " Crucio," the Dark Lord said as the torture curse flew to the potions master. To Severus credit, he did not cry out in pain despite how much he was in. please forgive me my Lord" Snape asked forgiveness, as the spell was lifted. " I only meant that Wormtail lead could be a waste of time." " Now Severus" he chuckled darkly to his servant. " Ordinary you may be right, but with this, my victory is all but assured. " Voldemort said before he broke down in pure glee. " Tell me, my faithful servants, what can you tell me about the Holy Grail?" " Do you mean that muggle story of a magic cup?" answered Lucius Malfoy. " Does this have to anything do with the markings that appeared on some of our hands?" "Yes indeed it does Lucius" confirmed Voldemort I need all those who have a marking to come with me the rest of you leave my sight" he ordered. With that several of the Death Eaters apparated away leaving only five Death Eaters. " Why are you hear Malfoy?" frowned the leader of the Death Eaters. " I merely wish to wish to see my son receive his first orders as one of the Pure-bloods elite." " Very well you may prove useful with your son, young Draco maybe chosen but his magic power may prove insufficient for this" Voldemort said thinking on how to correct the situation. Both ignored the young man in question grit his teeth about to voice his thoughts on his so-called lack of magic power, but the firm grasp of his Godfather Severus stopped him. " Now then those with a marking shall be called to do battle and kill each other." He laughed at some of their pale faces. " oh but not to worry we will not be the ones doing the fighting" he eased their worries. " Each of us will summon a Servant one that is a hero form muggle legends." He paused to let it sink in "Muggles!" Screeched the voice of the insane witch Bellatrix Lestrange. " Why must we use such filthy muggles to for anything?" " Now Bella my dear, would I misguide you and use these muggles if I saw no point." " No my lord please forgive me" she begged. "Now seven magic-users are needed for this battle, however, we are missing one member another is not here summoning his servant at another location." the rest of you will summon a servant to use." "My lord," Draco asked hesitantly " will we really must kill each other?" " No my boy" he smirked at the fearful face of his youngest follower. " with this war we shall face another team of Master and Servants, and with my luck it just maybe Dumbledore and his order will serve as our enemies." " And soon my wish shall be granted and Dumbledore will die" he laughed truly happy that his dreams will come true 12 Grimmauld Place " Headmaster, have you any idea of these markings on my hand mean?" Asked Remus Lupin looking down at the strange markings on his hand it looked somewhat like a leaf divided into three parts to halves of the leaves and at the bottom is the stem. " Seems like dark magic to me" Alastor " Mad-Eye" Moody guessed gruffly. "No Alastor" came the rare grave voice of Professor Dumbledore " this is much worse than mere dark magic I fear that Voldemort," he said ignoring the order flinching from his name has done something unbelieving foolish." " Headmaster" Remus and the rest of the order looked to see the look of dread on their leaders face " My children have similar markings on their hands oh Arthur are children what are we going to do!" Molly Weasley cried over the implications of what could happen. " All of you go up to your rooms well see what we can do to get those things off" she hurriedly tried to get the kids upstairs. " Molly I'm afraid that will do little with the current situation" The headmaster stopped the frantic and overprotective mother " The seven of those chosen must compete in a most dangerous war." the aged headmaster told the gathered members. " More dangerous than the You-Know-who?" Arthur asked afraid of the answer. "Immensely Arthur my boy" the headmaster brought out seven different cards and showed them to the gathered members. " Each of you seven will have to summon a Servant as a team and fight against another seven who all will fight for Voldemort." More flinching at the name. " Headmaster," Hermione Granger asked hand raised showing her own red marking it was of three arrowheads going in different directions " Headmaster what do you mean a Servant?" " Yeah, and why does Voldemort have to do with it," asked The-Boy-Who-Lived, aka Harry Potter folding his arms revealing his own marking it resembling a sword a blade in the middle with curves on both sides of it. Letting out a sigh Dumbledore showed the first card "Saber a master swordsman" he showed a card of a knight in silver armor with a red ponytail" "Archer master bowman and long-ranged combat." a card with an androgynous person pulling back an arrow. " Lancer a swift and nimble spearman." a card with a man in red with a silver lance. " Caster a master of magic" a card with an old man and blue robes with a book in one hand and a staff in the other. " Assassin the silent killer" a thin pale man in a skull mask with black twin daggers. " Rider the knight of the mount" a card with a knight holding the reigns of a chariot. " And lastly berserker a soul who lost their sanity for power" the last card showed a beast like being with a large cleaver " You seven will each summon a Heroic spirit from the past one who fits into one of these seven classes to fight against another seven Heroic Spirits in a battle to the death for the Holy Grail and gain the right to ask for any to wish their heart desires, now than any questions?" The rest of the order looked at the headmaster with pale faces thinking about what he had said. The other Master to be looked at each other no one willing to speak about what was just spoken. That is save for a blond girl with red marking small arrow with two wings under it asked " Headmaster will I be able to summon the Crumple-Horned Snorkack as a Servant" It was then that the order went into chaos.
