"Thank you for seeing me Professor." A beautiful young woman said as she sat across from the Headmaster. He smiled.
"Lemon drop?" the Headmaster offered politely but the girl refused. She was here for a reason and she wasn't going to be side tracked.
"I want to join the light side and get my daughter Emily away from her fathers evil influence." The woman said getting straight to the point. The Headmaster nodded briefly.
"You know that it won't be easy to protect you and your daughter from Lord Voldemort. The bond between him, yourself, and your daughter is impossible to break. There is a chance that he will find you no matter how well we hide you. Are you willing to take that chance?" the Headmaster said softly, almost seeming like a whisper. The woman nodded.
"She betrayed me; the stupid bitch is trying to sell my daughter to Dumbledore." Lord Voldemort yelled when he finished surveying his wife's mind. He was infuriated that Cecily would do such a thing. All the Death Eater's in the room looked either at their Lord or at the 1 year old baby in the crib off to the side of the room. They had all grown fond of the baby and her presence even though most of them didn't like Cecily, her mother. Bellatrix got up out of her seat and went over to the crib and picked up the baby.
"Nothing will happen to your daughter, my Lord." Bellatrix declared faithfully. Most of the Death Eaters in the room agreed with her.
"Bring her to me!" Voldemort demanded. Bellatrix hurried and gave the baby over to her Lord. Voldemort held his daughter in his arms when the doors to the hall opened. Nevana, Cecily's older sister, walked into the room. She strode up to the Dark Lord with a smirk befitting a Malfoy. She bowed briefly before standing back up.
"How are you, my Lord?" Nevana said coldly. She had always been jealous that her parents had matched Cecily with the Dark Lord instead of her. She deserved the position; she was a faithful Death Eater long before Cecily ever came into the picture.
The Dark Lord looked unmoved by her. He knew all about her jealous ways and wasn't amused by them. He had to tolerate her presence since she was Emily's godmother, appointed by Cecily herself. She must have thought that if anyone would stay faithful to her it would be her sister, but oh how wrong she was.
"Let me take Emily for a few days so that you can deal with Cecily as you sit fit. We wouldn't want Emily to have nightmares about her mothers screaming as she dies." Nevana said cruelly. The Dark Lord knew that the idiot of a woman before him was right. He didn't want Emily anywhere near Cecily incase Dumbledore decided to send some of his Order with her. Reluctantly Voldemort handed Emily to Nevana.
"Don't let any harm come to her or I will kill you as slowly and as painfully as I can think of." Voldemort threaten. Nevana smiled and made her leave. When she had left Voldemort turned to Bellatrix and Lucius.
"Cecily has done the unforgivable; she will pay with her life." Voldemort declared. The only person besides his daughter that he ever loved betrayed him. She was the one woman who swore to honor and love him no matter what, had tried to sell their daughter to the "good side". Voldemort couldn't forgive her.
Cecily walked into the Riddle Mansion heavy hearted. She didn't know what to expect because she didn't know who she could trust. She walked silently until she came to what was unofficially known as the Throne Room. Voldemort was waiting alone, and he didn't look happy.
"Love, where is Emily?" Cecily asked trying to play it off like nothing had happened. Voldemort looked at her.
"She went with your sister." He said coldly. A chill ran down Cecily's spine.
"Why did you let her take Emily?" Cecily asked. She had not thought of this possibility.
"I know what you did Cecily. How could you do that to me?" Voldemort said. He was truly hurt by this. Cecily's eyes grew the size of saucers.
"I didn't do anything." Cecily said as she started to panic. How could he have possibly known?
"There is no use lying, your own mind betrayed you when it lent me access. " Voldemort said his words full of venom. Cecily froze in her spot.
"I'm so sorry Tom but I cant let you use Emily." Cecily said as she pulled out her wand but Voldemort was quicker.
"Avada Kedavra." Voldemort yelled. The curse hit Cecily straight in the heart. She softly crumpled to the floor.
Many miles away Harry Potter woke up from his dream.
