Title: Creature of the Dark
Pairings: Slash, possible het
Warnings: Rated strong T for dark themes, mild violence and gore, mild language, slightly adult themes. AU.
Disclaimer: Mine, mine, mine, mine. Except for locations and characters which you will find in the Harry Potter series which will account to very little.
Happy New Year, everyone. Except the Chinese (and anyone else), 'cause they don't celebrate it right now.
Prologue:
Voldemort Vanquished!
Sources say that You-Know-Who is finally done! No more You-Know-What!
On this warm summer night, the claim has been that You-Know-Who arrived
himself on the Potter household, prepared for casualties. While it is true that
both James R. Potter and Lillian M. Potter nee Evans, respectively, both lost
their lives defending their one and only child, Harold J. Potter, Harry has
destroyed He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named by a backfired Avada Kedrava. Hail the
Boy-Who-Lived!
One Albus Dumbledore arrived at the scene (continued page 5)
Mysterious Deaths of Muggle Families
In Little Whinging, Surrey, the first of these attacks happened at Private Drive 4
to a family of four: a husband, wife, and two few months old male children. Muggle police
identified the family as the Dursley household and Aurors say that there is a strange
type of magical residue left as the only cause for these sudden deaths. The
Unmentionables in the Ministry of Magic department have been working on finding out
what it was.
Currently, still in Surrey, more attacks and deaths have been made by the same if
not similar beings. Only one sole survivor of these attacks was found and she had died
soon after being rescued and treated for her injuries: deep gashes to the head, legs and
body; fang marks around the neck; slow working venom in the main arteries and veins;
several broken ribs, fractured humorous to the left leg, splintered radius on the left,
crushed ulna on the right; severed right ear along with three missing fingers on both
hands.
Unidentified Magical Being Strikes Again!
The UMB has recently made several attacks in a roundabout way in the general
direction of London to both wizarding and muggle public. Last Thursday, the UMB
managed to break into the Ministry of Magic and caused a total of 18 causalities; 10 of
them wounded severely and are in critical condition ward at St. Mungos.
However, during the strike, an Unmentionable managed to procreate a blood sample of the
UMB and it is now being tested in the lab. Unfortunately, in its rage, the UMB took the said
man and ran off only to return him dead with a note pinned to his chest. A copy is enclosed:
I am Sin.
Beware me for I have many forms
You know me as two others of your kind
Both feared, both revered.
My Venom will kill you slowly
My jaw and fangs will crush your bones
My claws and paws will tear open your heart
I request you give me a sacrifice every month
But only on a Full moon or New moon
Deliver it to Hogwarts, Forbidden Forest
I will take either Muggle or Wizard.
If you fail to meet my needs
I shall eat and turn your children into my likeness
I failed the first time
I shall not again.
Lucius Malfoy dropped the Daily Prophet shakily. He knew just who and what this monster is. He was worse than the Dark Lord, more powerful than Albus, and certainly more lucky than the youngest late Potter. If you could call it luck; this being was near impossible to kill, only one way to do so and that was by another of a different species. As far as he knew, the other had died out 30 years ago. With the Creature of the Light gone, this fresh, young Creature of the Dark could exist for 300 years until it was possible for a wizard of Albus Dumbledore magnitude to kill it. And then only marginally so.
Do you like? I love this series. I promise only this one will be darkish, the rest are more depressing !spoiler! than dark. There will only be five total, 4th only two-three chaps max, and speed i can't guarantee as this is coming all out of my head plus Part II i have to work on along with several others for my Ultimate Collection
