What's Voldemorts secret?

James' POV

God, I hate school, its so tiring and boring. I'm not going to use any of this when I have a job I thought. Little did I know, that I would need it in the next years to come.

"James, get your head screwed on straight, alright?" my best friend Tom said, "There's gonna be a load of fit girls at Honeydukes". Sighing my head, I followed him out of Charms, all he thinks about is girls, well girls and …you know.

As we trailed behind everyone else who was eager to be off to Hogmeade, I couldn't blame them, we only have Saturday and Sunday really to ourselves as on Friday we still have lessons. Sigh. Looking up in surprise, I noticed we were already at Honeydukes, funny, I had been thinking about Scorpius asking Rose out… They're good friends and Rose doesn't want to ruin that if they don't make it as a couple. Ah well, it'll sort itself out in time. I bought some peppermint imps and a couple of cockroach clusters to fool Albus into eating, I find teasing Albus so much fun. As I paid, I saw the girl at the counter check me out. Giggling and nudging her friend so bad they were in fits of laughter. Girls. They make asking one out a nightmare not that I wanted to ask anyone out…

After a time, we headed out, after Tom had finished flirting with the girls and I pulled Tom in the direction of the Hogs Head.

"Hey, I thought we were going to get a Fire whiskey from The Three Broomsticks?"

" Change of plans mate, we're going to the Hogs Head instead." I said while still pulling him.

" And why would our plans have changed, " Tom wondered, starting to grin evilly, " it couldn't have anything to do with the fact that Evelyn has just ran off into the Hogs Head?"

Stopping dead, I said stiffly " No, what would give you that idea…."

" Come on mate, I've known you nearly all my life, I know how to read you, exactly like a book though I'm not fond of books, well, you stare at her when she comes into the room like a love struck puppy" He snorted.

"Okay, okay, enough laughter at my expense, lets go already" I was already in motion, edging towards the hogs head.

A couple of minutes later, we were inside and I saw her at a table with a lot of scrolls around her and a worried expression that made a crease between her eyebrows. I wanted to stroke that crease away… Tom got out a mirror – like girls, he likes to look at himself, he is very vain – and shoved it in my face. He was right, I did look like a love struck puppy, I looked a right fool.

" Tom, will you head over to the bar and get us a fire whisky?" my eyes were on Evelyn as I spoke.

He snorted again, " Yeah sure, why not?"

"Thanks mate, I'll be back in a minute, okay?" I replied

"Okaii", but I didn't hear him, I was already near Evelyn.

As I got closer, my footsteps got quicker, my breath speeding up as well, she looked up as I made my way towards her…

Evelyn's POV

Who the hell was that coming towards me? All of a sudden, I remembered my scrolls and knocked them into my bag, he leaned down over my table and said softly

"Are you okay? You look stressed." I was stressed and no wonder, I was planning to kill the headmistress for the honour of my family, of course I was stressed. I rolled my eyes in my head; he seemed truly concerned and worried, that was nice. As I looked up at him, I noticed his features, his gorgeous eyes, the same colour as grass newly sown in spring, his lips brushed sensually against each other as he spoke. His brown hair flopped in front of his face, it looked so soft, I badly wanted to stroke it. Ev, get out of this frame of mind, it'll ruin you and your job and it's a Potter.

Okaii, back on track.

I answered with a hard yes and looked back down. Through my eyelashes I could see his shocked expression and I could see him wondering why I was so hard. Oh, I'd like to get to know him better but it wasn't possible if I was to complete my mission. For the first time in my life, I wished my parents were normal, not the famous witch and wizard they were. I know what you're thinking, wow, who were they, they must've saved a lot of people or something to become that famous.

No its not that, my father was – is – Voldemort, the great but terrible wizard who created the death eaters and killed a lot of people. I know, everyone thought he did without a heir as no-one knew I existed, he did it with Bellatrix Lestrange fast and dumped her even faster. Said he didn't have time for a girlfriend. Ouch. I loved them, I know you think, how can you love someone that's evil but I do, I love them, they're my parents, I will always love them.

Back in the moment, James is sitting down without a conscious thought to do so, I smiled at him, showing very sharp teeth – not a nice smile – and hissed

"What are you doing? You're not welcome at this table, go away."

Great, now I was going to anger the only guy I like, brilliant, go Evelyn I said to myself sarcastically.

James looked up at me, shock clear on his face

"What did I do?" He asked, wounded. Well, he was going to have to live with it, I didn't have time for distractions, Ouch, I sound like my father, we really do have the same genetics and it looks like I'm going to follow in his footsteps, killing for honour but also for the fun of killing…

Shooting out of my seat, I wound my way around the chairs and tables in my way and nodded to Aberforth at the bar. Good man, Aberforth, so was his brother but I'm not allowed to say that out loud. I brushed past James' friend Tom as I went outside, his face was curious; curious to know why I left James who was looking after me in agony. Still wondering what he had done, I bet. Sadly, it was me who had done something and who was going to do everything, like kill everyone in the order of the phoenix for example. Making my way back to school, I saw Scorpius talking with Rose Weasley, don't know why he's friends with that half-blood. Tears in my eyes, I realise how much I am really like my father.
