Chapter 1

Dark Lord? Ascending

Two figures appeared out of nowhere. "News?" The first man said.

"The best" Severus Snape said.

They both followed the winding path to a magnificent manor house with peacocks walking around. "He does alright for himself, Lucius, Peacocks I ask you?"

"That not important right now." Snape said. They got to the front door and knocked. The door opened as if by it and they went inside. They walked inside to the dining room where a group of people were sitting. At the head of the table sat a figure that put the fear of God in both men.

"Yaxley beside Dolohov, Snape beside me." The figure said.

"Yes, my lord." They both said and then sat down.

"Ah yes Bellatrix," The figure said to a woman at his right fawning over him. "I congratulate you on a happy event that has taken place in your family."

"What are you talking about my Lord." Bellatrix said.

"I am talking about you niece who has married the werewolf, Remus Lupin and how about you Draco," he said to a pale young man looking at a women floating above the table. The young man's face turned toward the figure, "Will you babysit the cubs." He said to tumultuous laughter.

"It is not our fault that our niece associates with dangerous half-breeds, and frankly the little half blood isn't even a member of the family." Belatrix said

Snape was the only one who noticed that when Bellatrix said half-breed, the figure's face twisted in fury. "That's strange" Snape thought. "Why would the Dark Lord mind if Bellatrix said half breed."

The figure then smiled at Bellatrix. "It's alright, Bella. You must cut off the root to let the plant grow whole. We must cut asunder everything to do with muggles and muggleborns." The figure said.

"You mean Mudbloods, don't you?" A small rat like man said correcting the figure.

There was a flash and a cry of pain. "DON'T EVER CORRECT ME, YOU USELESS LITTLE RAT." The figure screamed in rage.

"Yaxley, has the ministry been taken over yet." The figure asked

"It will be done by Saturday, my lord."

"My Lord, they say they are going to move the potter boy by nightfall on Saturday." Snape said.

"That's not true, there moving him by auror." Yaxley said

The figure listened o the disagreement before ending it with the famous line. "I have to kill Potter myself, he's gotten by so much by accident. I will be the one to kill Potter." He said and Snape saw the trace of sadness. Something was off here. Since when had Voldemort felt sad about Potter or anybody in general. Something was off.

Snape was broken out of his thinking when Voldemort spoke. "I take it you all know our guest." The figure said pointing at the women floating over the table. "Her name is Charity Baubage and she is a mudblood lover."

Snape saw the figures face flinch in pain as he said mudblood. "Why would the dark lord not want to say mudblood?" He thought to himself. "Well this tears it, something's definitely wrong here."

"She is also a protector of muggle right. Indeed she wants us to mate with muggles and also werewolves." He said spitting venom.

"Severus, please help me." The woman sobbed.

Voldemort waited several minutes of more begging when he said it. "AVADA KEDAVRA"

The blast of green light hit the woman and she fell hitting the floor. "Eat, Nagini"

Nagini, the big snake, looked at the figure with cold hate in her eyes. She then looked at the body. She chose the body instead of her hatred for the pathetic imposter.

"I may be an animal but I have feelings also, you broke my heart when you took me away from my true master." She thought as she ate.
