II: In Which The Dark Mark Is Sighted


Harry sat in the great hall, it was breakfast and the owls and post had just entered the Great Hall. The Daily Prophet was dropped in front of him by one of the Prophet Owls and he tossed it the money. He looked at the cover in shock.

"Harry, what's wrong?" Hermione asked taking the paper from him. Harry didn't often act like that. He'd usually brush off the junk in the paper. "Oh my god, listen!

Dark Mark Over Burned Muggle School-One Missing

The muggle school in question, Smelting's Boarding School For Boys, was burned to the ground late last night, frightening both muggle and wizards alike, for above the school was the dark mark, as You-Know-Who's own way of stating the murder, The missing boy, recent exchange student Shuuichi Minamino of Japan, was last seen in his dorm room by the Dorm Advisor. He is presumed dead but they will continue to search for his body.

Rita Skeeter of Daily Prophet writes.

"That's horrible!" Ginny said from beside Hermione.

"That's the name of the kid who was staying with the Dursleys!" Harry said after a moment, and it sunk in. He had been fond of Kurama.

Suddenly; they saw the new DADA teacher, Professor Hatanaka, walk over to an entranced Shuiichi. He grabbed his son and led him to Professor Dumbledore.

"…I request a one week's leave of absence, about my son's possible death," was all that the trio heard of the short conversation.

"His son? Shuiichi is alive and kicking!" Ron stated flabbergasted at what their new teacher had said.

"Kurama-"

"Who's Kurama?"

"Shuuichi Minamino! He said that his stepfather got a job at his step-brother's school. It's possible that he's Hatanaka's step-son." Harry said to his friends.

"Well, I hope that they find him alive, either way," Hermione sighed, poking her breakfast with her fork as she was no longer hungry.


"What is it that you feel is so important that it is enough to bring to my attention?" asked a snakelike sneering voice from an equally snakelike sneering man, who was sitting in a chair and not facing those he was speaking at.

"This boy," The Death Eaters behind him lifted Kurama's still unconscious form, "has a power that is strong enough that I can feel it, it's not only a strange power, it is magic, my lord, a strange dark magic!"

"Wipe his mind of his memory then," Voldemort spoke in a careless voice. He trusted this Death Eaters sixth sense, but not enough to put all his eggs in one basket. "You will harness his power and make him one of my followers. You'll teach him to use his magic, and have him report here in one year's time. Cut and dye his hair too, he's too noticeable with it in its current state." He hissed to the Death Eaters menacingly.

"Yes, my lord." The trio of cloaked men backed away, dragging Kurama with them to their destination. Before they left the room though, Voldemort spoke a last time to them.

"Tell him his name is Riddle," ordered the snake man as his followers disappeared into the shadows. Voldemort silently smirked to himself.


Kittenn: Kittenn-chan knows it's short. In Kittenn-chan's defence, this looked like the best place to stop at. Another chapter will be up by this weekend to pay readers-chan back!

Elmo: QUIT SPEAKING IN THIRD PERSON!

Kittenn: NO! BAD ELMO-CHAN! DOWN BOY!
