Embracing Evil: Series 5
Chapter 2
Chaos was pacing furiously waiting for Narcissa and Bella to arrive. They were helping him prepare for the ball which was set for 1 hours time, Tom wasn't there because Chaos had banished him from the room with a warning not to return before the ball.
"How will you know what I'm wearing, we are supposed to match?" Tom pointed out amused.
"Your wearing Shadow black robes with deep green detailing now be gone." Tom rolled his eyes and vanished down the hall. Narcissa and Bella finally arrived and Chaos was blown away, they both looked stunning.
"Wow," they smirked and ushered him in to the shower, Chaos came out in black dress trousers and stood in the middle of the room. Bella handed him a black shirt while Narcissa retrieved his robes, he carefully put them on and they fell perfectly around him. Narcissa glamoured his hair and concentrated his vibrant streaks to his fringe, it fell in light waves past his shoulders and Bella handed him his mask. He pressed it to his face where his moulded to shape perfectly, it made his eyes glow and he added his locket to let it show proudly on display; Chaos pulled on his green cloak. He turned to face them and they gasped softly,
"You look amazing," Narcissa sighed and Bella nodded in agreement.
"Let me see," A mirror appeared in front of him and he smirked; he did look good.
"Do you think Tom will like it?"
"Definitely,"
"He's different now you're here." Bella told him suddenly and Chaos tilted his head, Narcissa slapped him and rearranged his hair.
"How so?"
"Before you came my Lord was much more curse happy." Bella said quietly, "He was still great and the perfect leader," She added hastily and Chaos grinned.
"He is perfect isn't he?" Bella nodded.
"I have never seen him care for someone until you." She flashed him a soft smile.
"You had best get to the anti chamber, your announcement is soon." Chaos nodded and left the room, he was walking so it would calm his nerves, he was having an internal breakdown but was refusing to let it show. He stepped in to the room and immediately drank down a glass of fire whiskey, the burn in his throat took his mind away from what he was about to do. Becoming a consort was a lifetime commitment, in history, there had only been 3 cases which he had found where a consort had not stayed with his partner. He was not worried about staying with Tom forever, he couldn't want for more. No, he was worried about the DE's reaction and if Tom would regret it, he forcefully pushed that from his mind. After everything they had been through, Tom wouldn't change his mind now, the ring was proof of that. He could hear the DE's gathering in the main hall, it seemed as if Tom had invited everyone and rolled his eyes, the man really did like to show him off. As he waited for them to settle he thought on what Tom had told him about the ball. He didn't have to do a speech which was good because public speaking really wasn't his thing, Tom would announce him as his consort and then he would enter; simple really. The room began to quiet down and he knew Tom had got to his feet when it went silent.
"You have been invited here tonight for a celebratory occasion." Tom's smooth voice carried through the entire room clearly, Chaos smiled slightly to himself.
"You are here for the announcement of my Consort." Chaos could here the joy in Tom's voice and whispers broke out, he could practically here the question on everyone's mind; who was it?
"I am please to announce my Consort; my Chaos." Chaos stepped out of the room and in to the hall, many gasped when they caught sight of him and when Tom turned to face him the crimson eyes widened slightly before he smiled. Chaos flashed a smirk and walked up to his side; Tom took his hand and lightly kissed him. A massive cheer erupted from the crowd and Chaos grinned, they obviously approved of him, he looked at Tom who had yet to take his eyes from him.
"You look stunning," He told him softly, Chaos smiled.
"You don't look too bad yourself," Tom rolled his eyes, he waved his wand and the many tabled filled with food, Chaos sat next to Tom with Barty on his right. The inner circle with their partners were sat at the head table with him and Tom and the rest of the DE's were sat on the tables bellow, they enjoyed a fabulous feast in which Tom never once released his hand and kept kissing the ring much to Chaos joy.
"You are happy?" Tom asked and Chaos smiled.
"I am,"
"I will give you the world." Tom vowed and Chaos leaned over to kiss him.
"I know," the death eaters watched in awe as their Lord and his new consort interact, Tom ran a gentle hand over Chaos cheek before turning back to the ball.
"Let the ball commence," he called to the room, the table's vanished and the music began. People began to dance and Tom motioned for the inner circle to go also, they watched as everyone twirled and span gracefully on the dance floor, Chaos noted the Barty was dancing with Rabastan and the twins were dancing with each other much to his amusement. Tom stood gracefully and pulled him with him, Chaos raised an eyebrow and Tom smirked, he led him towards the dance floor and Chaos' eyes widened.
"You are making me dance?" he asked incredulously.
"Of course," Tom replied easily, Chaos rolled his eyes, the crowed had parted to allow their Lord to take to the floor. Of course, just like with everything Tom did, he was a perfect dancer, surprisingly for Chaos, when he was dancing with Tom he actually enjoyed himself and found he could actually dance. As they span around the floor the crowd couldn't help but marvel at the picture they created, it was beautiful to watch. They span together perfectly and the women sighed, none of them had seen their Lord look so happy or calm and when he looked upon his consort his eyes lit up.
"Are they not perfect together?" Narcissa asked her sister quietly as they watched.
"They are," Bella agreed. Tom motioned for his inner circle to join the floor with them, eventually the entire party was dancing and Harry loved it, Tom led him back to their seats.
"This is amazing," Chaos murmured looking around. "And you did this for me?"
"You can have one every week if you wish," Tom told him, Chaos smiled.
"I would have to go shopping every week," Tom shuddered slightly.
"Maybe every month," he amended and Chaos laughed lightly. He enjoyed the rest of the ball and at around 2am, he and Tom left allowing the death eaters to continue the party, Chaos was sure they would still be there in the morning. Chaos curled in to Tom absolutely exhausted but happier than he had ever been,
"Thank you," He said softly and Tom kissed his hand.
"For what?"
"For tonight, for letting me stay here, for keeping me, for everything I guess." Chaos shrugged and Tom smiled slightly.
"You deserve more my Chaos,"
"I have you, it's enough for me."
The manor was a flurry of activity as the final plans were set in to motion for the ministry takeover, the death eaters were training around the clock determined not to let their lord down at such a crucial point in his plans. Chaos was going through tactics with many of the death eaters, running though them scenarios and working with the twins in their experiments. The werewolves were also involved, Fenrir had brought his Beta, Remus, and Gamma, a wolf called Sky, along with 10 others to be included in the plans. Tonks was working with Narcissa and Slughorn to fully stock the medisuit for the aftermath of the battle, Chaos was surprised, for someone so clumsy, Tonks was brilliant at potions. They had also mapped out the Hogwarts ideas just in case Dumbledore fell at the ministry, Chaos had a bet on that he did. The only downside with the planning was the limited personal time he could have with Tom, everything since the ball had been full on. On thing since the ball he had firmly stopped was the title that came with being the Dark Lord's consort, Lord Consort was the official one and he had vehemently denied being called that. He was just the Dark Lord's Chaos unless it was official reasons, he had cursed anyone who called him it much to Tom's amusement. The man himself rather likes the title, but he would let his Chaos have what he wanted, he was turning soft and yet he couldn't bring himself to care. He was the happiest he had ever been and he had no intentions of changing that any time soon, Chaos skipped up to him with a smile which the Dark Lord couldn't help but return.
"You look happy," Chaos commented.
"I am," Tom replied and Chaos' smile stretched.
"Good," Tom kissed him lightly.
"With how everything is going, we shall be set to take the ministry within 2 weeks."
"I can't wait," Chaos said, "We won't fail and the ministry will fall in to your control." Tom kissed him again.
"Our control," He corrected and gently stroked the ring. Chaos beamed.
"Our control,"
"And the wizarding world will be ours." Tom said,
"Nothing will stand in our way."
Chaos couldn't help but smirk when he looked at his and Tom's forces, they had a massive army, hundreds and hundreds of people, werewolves and vampires here to serve them. They were preparing to leave for the ministry, today would be the day where the ministry would fall in to their control and Hogwarts would soon follow if everything went to plan. To his left the Dark Lord was sat regally on his thrown watching as everyone came in, Chaos took the time to admire his lovers beauty, he smiled when he looked down on his own left hand, there sat proudly, was the Slytherin consort ring tying him to Tom properly. The ministry really didn't have a chance, the twins had been on the move and the dark had so many mass offensive weapons that the only problem would be the entering order, they would be setting things off in nearly every department to hinder the ministry as the rest of the forces fought in the atrium. The Dark Lord rose and everyone went silent, Chaos stood by his side eyes glinting under his mask as he looked around.
"My faithful followers, today is the day where we take the ministry." The cheers rose and Harry grinned, Tom lifted his hand and kissed it gently which only seemed to make the crowd cheer more, they had taken the announcement of the Dark Lords consort brilliantly, that party had lasted all night.
"Magical Britain will be ours." Tom yelled and the crown went wild, they had been waiting for this day for weeks, months of planning, practice runs and training and now it was here.
"Rodolphus, Rabastan, Fred, George, Remus, Tonks, you know what to do, go now." Chaos told them and they bowed and left, the crowd was quiet now, they all knew the plan backwards and now they just had to wait the 15 minutes until it was their turn to leave.
"Bella, Lucius, Barty." Tom murmured and the three started ordering the forces in to the correct groups and doing a final run through, Chaos and the Dark Lord apperated to their rooms when Chaos found himself in a mind blowing kiss.
"Are you sure about this?" Tom asked and Chaos grinned.
"Of course, you know the reactions will be brilliant." The Dark Lord smirked.
"You just like making an entrance."
"This will be the entrance of the century, I'm missing suspected dead."
"Point,"
"Come on, we have a ministry to take." Chaos said and Tom nodded, he went to the mirror and began his snake glamour, whereas Harry pulled on his professional duelling robes and began layering his own glamour over them so it looked like he was in ordinary duelling clothes, he finished it off by making him look like the famous Harry Potter with out the glasses.
"You will tell me when it's time?" Harry asked adding the final touches.
"Yes, it shouldn't be to long until everyone is in the atrium."
"Good and don't kill Dumbledore until I'm there." The Dark Lord chuckled and vanished in a swirl of black cloak, he landed back in the meeting room with his hood drawn up, the anticipation was thick in the air and magic was thrumming in the air.
"It is time," He hissed and everyone's attention snapped alert.
"Bella first," Bellatrix bowed and apperated out with her troops, the Dark Lord nodded to Barty next and then finally Lucius, with a smirk of his own he apperated away in to the battle field. The fight had already begun with the ministry employees who had escaped the traps set by the twins, he was engaged in a duel as soon as his feet hit the ground, he let his magic flair around him and blasted the person back. The sound of multiple apperation rang out signalling the order had arrived, their forces had grown a lot but they were missing a key factor, the battle picked up pace and the Dark Lord found himself duelling 4 people at once, his hood fell and he smirked as the fear began practically oozing from the opposition.
"Its You-Know-Who!" Someone screamed and he laughed, they still were unable to say his name, something that made Chaos laugh to no end, the Dark Lord pushed back his opponents with a blast of magic. There was suddenly a swarming of magic alerting him Dumbledore had just entered the battle, the old fool was ripping through his death eaters to get to him so Voldemort did the same, his magic tore through any person without his mark close enough to feel it and they met in the middle; the duel began. He sent a mental signal to his Chaos telling him to come and he got a confirmation, he continued his duel with Dumbledore eagerly, he grinned at the old wizard.
"You won't win Albus," He taunted with a laugh.
"You have yet to beat me Tom, last time you fled." Dumbledore replied expecting his famous temper to rear its head but instead Voldemort laughed loudly, he blamed Chaos for his mellowed behaviour.
"There is a first time for everything old man." He flung a curse which Dumbledore deflected creating a part of the statue to explode, the Dark Lord was waiting for his Chaos when he felt it, a huge amount of chaotic magic flaring everywhere much bigger than Dumbledore and the only person to truly equal him, he internally smirked when he saw the old mans eyes widen meaning he had felt it also, he kept his face blank but made it look as if he was looking for the source.
"HARRY!" the entire battle seemed to come to a halt as everyone span to see Harry Potter walking calmly in to the battle, Voldemort mentally clapped his consort on an entrance well done, he had stopped the whole thing by just appearing. Harry carefully walked up the centre of the divide of dark and light, Dumbledore at the front of the light and Voldemort leading the dark, Harry stood between the both. Whispers broke out when he stopped and Harry had to forcefully keep the smirk of his face, the light seemed to look relieved and the inner circle smug, the dark began to laugh Bellatrix in the lead.
"Harry Potter," She cooed and she couldn't keep the smirk of her face if she tried.
"Harry is that you?" Dumbledore asked astonished.
"Yes,"
"Harry Potter, welcome to the battle." Harry stopped the shiver at his lovers voice.
"You know me, always in the middle of things." He replied.
"Harry you know what you have to do." Dumbledore implored and Harry chuckled quietly to himself.
"You say love will work?"
"It will, you know it will." This time Voldemort laughed his cruel laugh, the one he used when he was going to enjoy killing someone painfully.
"Drop it," He ordered Harry who smirked this time.
"You first," He responded much to the lights confusion.
"What are you doing Harry?" It was Hermione who spoke this time but Harry ignored her in favour of looking directly at the Dark Lord, the man smirked and waved his wand, the glamour melted away and Harry grinned, he unconsciously stepped closer as the light gasped in shock.
"Drop it," Tom repeated but this time his voice was smoother, richer and Harry did shudder that time. He waved his wand and the glamour on his clothes fell away first revealing tight dark professional duelling robes, he tapped his face and his features morphed in to his own softer beautiful features, his hair lengthened and the vibrant colours shone through the raven hair. There was a louder gasp this time as the lower death eaters recognised the features, hair and consort ring which was now clearly displayed on his left hand; the light were shocked speechless.
"H-Harry?"
"I've hidden a lot over the years; it's kind of surprising that you didn't work it all out actually." He told the headmaster conversationally, Harry took another step closer to the Dark Lord.
"What have you done?" Dumbledore questioned softly but Harry could hear the note of fear.
"You said love would win, you were probably right." Harry threw him a vicious look.
"What do you mean Harry?"
"Headmaster," Dumbledore looked at him almost pleadingly but Harry just smirked.
"My name is Chaos," He told them, the light looked ill and they headmaster shattered.
"No you can't be him." Hermione screamed and Chaos laughed.
"I am and I belong to the Dark Lord." He turned and Tom claimed his lips, the death eaters cheered and stamped their feet loudly, the light seemed to lose hope and Dumbledore aged in front of there eyes, Chaos and Tom broke apart and Harry couldn't help but grin as he stepped to his lovers right side.
"How could you do this?" Dumbledore questioned and Chaos shrugged.
"Wasn't that hard really,"
"He cannot love you Harry." Apparently Dumbledore hadn't finished, Tom glared at the headmaster and Chaos laughed.
"You know nothing Dumbledore," Tom hissed.
"You don't have the ability to love," the headmaster stated and Chaos' eyes narrowed, he felt Tom link their hands together.
"He will throw you away when he feels you are disposable." He implored. Tom brought Chaos hand to his lips and gently kissed the ring,
"Headmaster, let me introduce you to my consort." Majority of the light's eyes widened, it was a known fact that taking a consort was as good as calling a life bond, and Chaos smirked.
"And you were saying headmaster?"
"I-it's not possible." He stuttered and Tom chuckled coldly, the sound alone was enough to make a few shiver in fear.
"I assure you it is Dumbledore,"
"Would you like to see the ring? It's perfect of course." Chaos held up his hand where the ring was as clear as day, Dumbledore seemed to sag.
"And you laid your hopes on me," Chaos told them with a sneer, the DE's laughed.
"The ministry will be ours." He yelled and the death eaters struck with new vigour, when the Dark Lord entered the battle he was joined by Chaos, separated they were near impossible to beat, together they were unstoppable. Chaos danced around the Dark Lord showing just how they fit perfectly together, their opponents didn't stand a chance as they ripped through them and finally Dumbledore stepped up to a duel. Chaos stepped back knowing that Tom wanted the old man himself, he concentrated on keeping people away from the Dark Lord's back, they duel was intense and a spectacle to watch. The light were rapidly falling behind, some had thrown their wands down and submitted to the dark forces, they had been taken out of battle and stunned to the side, some had fought to the death and others were weakening quickly. Chaos struck down Mad-eye Moody with a blast of his death wand and he was currently duelling his ex-best friends.
"How could you do this?" Hermione screamed at him and Chaos laughed.
"It was easy, I've been at his side since the end of the tournament." They looked shocked before it morphed in to anger.
"Take out Chaos, the rest will fall." Chaos heard Dumbledore yell to the rest of the light, Tom hissed and upped his attack on the old man, out of nowhere he had 6 people jump in to his duel with Granger and Weasley and attack him. Chaos was duelling flat out and using every trick he knew but it wasn't looking good, he was about to take a direct hit from a well placed Reducto from Hermione when it was blocked by someone who literally appeared next to him, he looked to the side to see the small figure and blonde hair of Luna Lovegood; he grinned.
"Long time no see Luna," He commented as his opponents looked outraged.
"The same to you Chaos," She replied in her usual airy tones, they were still outnumbered, especially when Molly joined in.
"Why would you go to that monster?" Ron roared at him and Chaos snarled.
"I thought I cut your damn tongue out." He spat and sliced at the red heads face again, this time Ron didn't get up; Molly screamed and started throwing any spell she knew at him. Chaos fell back on to the defence with Luna, the light seemed to be congregating to kill him because he and Luna were now facing 10 different people, he cursed as he took his first hit to his shoulder, it didn't hurt him thanks to the twins bracelet but it pushed him back and he had enough, Chaos starting bouncing around using his smoke to confuse them all, he changed the colour of it as he went. He went back to Luna, who was bleeding on the cheek, and slashed his wand viciously, the twins appeared marking both his sides and evened the duel out in their favour, he picked up pace and removed Shaklebolt from the duel just as Luna took out Diggle. Chaos swiped his hand blasting back Jones and Vance, Fred and George threw the Avada Kedavra at their mother together and she fell. Chaos threw back his head and laughed, he ended the assault by releasing a blast of raw magic flinging them all back and smashing them in to the solid wall. The others went back to the battle and Harry fell back to keeping Tom's back clear, the light were still fighting and Chaos could see that Dumbledore was tiring, Tom was loosing a bit of energy but he would be fine, Chaos span around when he heard Bella scream and saw she was surrounded and had taken a nasty hit.
"Go," Tom told him and Chaos nodded, he smoked over and tore through them in their surprised state, he smoked Bella to the other side and healed the nasty gash across her stomach, she downed the potion handed to her and rejoined the battle, Chaos shook his head at her perseverance and heard the dulcet toned of screams as she tortured the ones responsible for injuring her. Then out of no where the battle froze, Chaos span just in time to see Albus Dumbledore's wand be blasted out of his hand, the wand arched up and was deftly caught by the Dark Lord who was looking so immensely smug it was radiating off of him.
"Chaos," Harry immediately smoked to his side.
"This is the day we take the ministry and Hogwarts." The Dark Lord said to the entire room, he nodded to Chaos who raised his wand in sync with his lover.
"Avada Kedavra." The sickly green lights shot from both wands and almost in slow motion they twisted together creating a huge ball of light and slammed in to Dumbledore's chest, Albus Dumbledore was thrown off of his feet and landed on the ground with a thud; he moved no more. A deafening cheer erupted through out the atrium as the death eaters celebrated their win, the cries from the defeated light couldn't be heard as the death eaters raised the roof.
"Magical Britain is ours." Chaos screamed over the crowed, Tom ensnared him at the waist and pulled him in a loving kiss which only served to make the Death Eaters cheer more, Chaos smiled.
"You said you'd give me the world."
"I did,"
"Getting closer, we'll work on the rest later." Tom shook his head with a smile.
"Whatever you want my Chaos,"
So that's the battle and the ball, I know it's not as big as it could be but I hope you like it anyway. Tell me what you think!
