(a/n This is my first non si fic. I got the idea for a circe, also know as a Fand from the book "The Raven Warrior" by Alice Borchardt (it's the sequel to "The Dragon Queen" both are awesome books and a MUST READ!) anyway, I'm using that description for my character. Except the fact that she can blend in as a human and there are one or two tweaks in the background info of a fand's nature that I needed for the story. Hope you like it. Please don't flame me! At least not until it's over and if it actually did end up being crappy, however, I do encourage CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. Please be gentle, I'm fragile!
WARNING!!!! CONTAINS A LOT OF CHARACTER DEATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Harry Potter and the Circe of Slytherin.
By Squeak the Soprano
Helen, there are a few things you must know before you see the dark lord," Helen's father said anxiously "do not look him in the eye, Do not approach until he motions for you to do so, do not speak unless spoken to, do not leave before you are dismissed, do not stare, do not show fear, understand me? The tall blonde man said to her.
"Yes father" Helen replied. She was dressed in all black and had extremely fair, almost white skin, almost like that of a veela. Her hair was a golden blonde and her eyes looked like pools of liquid topaz with gold flecks in them, Her face was heart shaped with delicate features. And soft, full, supple lips.
The door her and her father were standing outside opened and her father ushered her in, pulling her close to him by her shoulders and staying on the opposite side of the room from an armchair and a fire place. In the arm chair was a man, but Helen could not see him clearly.
"Helen, come closer." A hissing voice summoned her from her place beside her father in the corner.
"Yes my Lord" the girl said as she stepped away from her father and into his sight. She could see his red slits for eyes through the shadow cast on his face created by the hood over his head. She quickly averted her eyes for fear of disrespect.
"Do you know why I have called you here" The hissing man asked
"No I do not my lord"
"I have a job for you Helen. You turned eleven two months ago did you not?"
"Yes my lord."
"But you do not look it. What would you say Nagini? How old does she look?" a low hiss sounded from the serpent who appeared at his side.
"I agree, she looks at least 16, this will work to our advantage."
"your father is a wizard is he not?"
"Yes my lord"
"So did you receive a Hogwarts letter this summer."
"Yes my lord. And I was hoping to attend, unless of course it was not your intent"
"Oh no! I'm ensuring that you attend, it is vital to my plan, however, I needed to speak with you on the matter… alone. Mucliber, leave us."
"yes my lord" Helen's father said as he left the room.
Helen, I know of your heritage, and of the natural… tendency's of your ancestors."
"Do you speak of my being part fand?"
"Yes, and do you realise what a fand is?"
"Well, in Arthurian legend, they appear occasionally. They lure a man, seduce him and then eventually eat him. However, should they even become infatuated with a victim, they will not eat that man, or woman in some cases, and they will instead allow themselves to fall in love, become impregnated and procreate. However, when the object of their affection is not another fand, the child will be a half breed, normally assuming the form of the non-circe parent. This is the case with me. The last pure circe in my family was my greatgreatgreatgreatgreat grandmother. So I am of sixth generation, able to function easily as a human, but I am still able to seduce all creatures attracted to human females and I still occasionally feast upon human flesh. Because my father was a wizard, I also am a witch as well as a fand."
"Well Helen, I am asking you to use these talents when you reach Hogwarts. And I am requesting of you to target Harry Potter, however, do not get him immediately, that would be too obvious."
"understood"
"another thing, do not eat any Slytherins, and please refrain from seducing them. But you may eat all the muggleborns and Gryffindors you can. Hufflepuffs may be eaten as well. Do not dine on a Ravenclaw unless it is to get to Harry potter. Understood?"
"Yes my lord"
"one more thing"
"Yes?"
"Look me in the eyes girl. Show me you do not fear this by meeting my eyes."
She did so, but she did not fear, not him, not the dealing out of death, not any of it. She'd been doing it since she was eight and looked like she was thirteen.
He was struck by the fact that she did not have fear, she had the stare of an animal, no, not an animal, an ethereal being, dark and determined. This unnerved him. He'd encountered a circe before, thankfully she was as seduced by his power as he was by her beauty, She was pregnant with his child when he realised what she really was. Despite his feelings for her, he managed to break his heart free from her spell and burn her, and her child. Soon after he became widely known as Voldemort. But this one was different, she seemed so innocent, but when you look in her eyes all you see is sex and death, the life of a fand.
"You know what you need to do then?"
"Yes my lord"
"Good, I shall have the Malfoy boy keep an eye on you at school, he will report back to me, so you can concentrate on your conquests."
"Yes my lord"
"We are done here, you're dismissed"
"thank you my lord" Helen stepped outside and her father quickly stepped into the room.
"My lord, if I may speak?"
"You may"
"Thank you very much for giving Helen this chance, her being so young, she and I are honoured."
"it was a pleasure, now, you're dismissed" Voldemort said as Nagini began to move closer to Mucliber.
"Thank you lord" Mucliber said as he quickly exited the room, away from the hungry serpent.
