Aspiring Dark Lords

DUMBLEDORE
Dumbledore sat in his office, musing on his thoughts of the day. Soon, he would have to prove to Potter that he trusted him and backed him up, all the way. But how? He had told Potter about the horcruxes, which were true enough, unlike the majority of the things he had said. Hmm. He needed a lemon drop to help him on this one. Those long believed to be 'delightful lemon drops' were actually opium made into a sugary, candied form. Without them, Dumbledore would never have survived these terrible headaches and happenings. Call them if you will, self-medication. It definitely helped. As the effects of the opium settled in, he thought about what he had done to build up to this glorious and terrible times.
It was he who had suggested Pettigrew to be made Secret Keeper of the Potters. He also knew that those pesky but powerful-yes he must admit they were powerful, at least, Black, Potter and Lupin- Marauders were illegal animagi, but didn't do anything about the frame. He was once again on a Lemon Drop when he decided that it was too early to reveal that information to the public. It was, as he predicted, useful in the future. It was he who allowed Quarrell the Defense post, even knowing what he was; it was he who encouraged Ginny Weasley when she came to him with the diary. Dumbledore could go on and on with the list. Although he didn't know Moody was an imposter until the Triwizard Tournaments ended, it was again Dumbledore who allowed Harry to compete.
In Dumbledore's mind, he was cunning mastermind of it all. What no one knew was he was originally placed in Slytherin, but he had threatened the Headmistress of then and got placed in Gryffindor. Even then the Masters (Professors were called Masters in those times) knew he had great potential and had most of his powers under control. He was thought to be almost as powerful as Merlin. But we digress. Dumbledore's 'perfect' plan concluded in Harry Potter killing Voldemort, and Dumbledore convincing Harry that he was going to be the next Dark Lord and convince him to commit suicide. Oh pity, the boy has the most brilliant eyes...just like that Lily Evans. Pity she had to die. But the boy hadn't received any of his parents talent for magic. He only inherited Love, which would enable him to defeat Voldemort, according to the Lemon Drop induced theory of Voldemort's demise.
Tonight would be a crucial stage of his elaborate plan. He would take Potter to the Island, retrieve the Horcrux, destroy it, and gain what trust he had left to gain in him. A year from now, that is all that it will take for him to become the next Dark Lord! Muhahahahahahahah!
Unlike Voldemort, he would not scare the people and become their enemies. He would intimidate them slightly with his power. Be that Iron Hand behind the curtain of the show that we called Life. The Minister would mysteriously vanish, and Dumbledore would take lead, as the Light Lord or some ridiculous name like that. The Order of Phoenix. Hmm, they would be his 'Death Eaters' of sorts, his Praetorian Guard! It honestly didn't matter, the People loved him! He would have their support, with them fearing and respecting his power. He would tell them some rubbish about leading the country and helping them. Yesss, it will work out just right!
Flashback
Someone knocks on the door of his office.
"Enter," calls out Dumbledore.
A disheveled looking Severous Snape enters the office with a wild look about him.
"Professor, I must talk with you. I did not know who else to come to! I need help!" begs Severous, with an earnest crazed look in his eyes that Dumbledore hasn't seen before.
"Yes, Severus?"
"Professor, I have made a huge mistake. I--I joined the Death Eaters." confesses Snape, with his head hung. He shows Dumbledore his Mark.
"Yes, Severus, I have known that for a while. I am glad you have come to me. I think I may be able to help you." replies Dumbledore with the classic twinkle in his eyes.
Snape looks up at him witht hope, "Really Professor? Oh thank you! How ever can this be done? How can I ever repay you?"
"Well yes, Severous, I have an ultimatum." Snape nods eagerly.
"I won't play any games with you Severus, I'll lay the options out straight on the table and be brief. Either spy for me and the Order of the Phoenix, or I will report you to Azkaban. I've also realized you are quite accomplished in Potions. Seeing as Horace has retired, I would like you to take the post. That will be all, Severus." Dumbledore finishes and stands.
Snape also stands up and looks at him now with disgust in his eyes. He asks coldy, "And how will this help me?"
"Well, for starters, I have already graciously offered protection at Hogwarts with a little price. You will have a shelter, food, company, and my protection, and all you have to do is teach kids how to mix and stir!" replies Dumbledore with a hint that he is offended.
"Thank you Sir. Thank you very much. I accept." Snape answers tartly and leaves the office.
End flashback
'Ah that greasy haired git. He should be grateful to me! Grateful! But alack, I did make a teeny mistake there. He doesn't seem to like me very much...' thought Dumbledore. By now, he is officially high on Lemon Drops. 'Soon, all power will be mine!' Laughs evilly and manically.
