The rise of the darklord.
Hey readers! Thank you so much for your reviews. Be it a little greeting or a word of encouragement, I would just wish to thank all of you as you have really given me confidence to continue my very first fanfic. Moving on to the story, this will sort of be a filler chapter. I hope to be able to develop the characters before I launch them into their romance so please be patient.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Harry Potter series. J. owns it, not me. Sighs…
At an unknown location…
Apparating into his headquarters, The cloaked man was immediately greeted by his most trusted servants. His inner circle was made out of wizards who had followed Voldemort during the second war. They had decided to follow him after he had tracked them down and offered them a reward if they were to serve him faithfully. Greeting them with a cold nod, The cloaked man walked to his bedroom before locking and warding it. His servants were loyal, but one can never be too sure around them. Relaxing, The cloaked man took of his cloak off, revealing a tall , muscular but athletic body. His smile would have been friendly had it not been for his cold and aloof emerald eyes. Eyes that looked older than him and was a testament of the hardships the man had faced. He had long elegant arms and slightly tanned skin, giving him a manly aura. Harry sat down in a sofa, calming himself down after his first murder, a murder which was not done in self defence but in cold blood. Stroking the carved phoenix on the arm of his sofa, Harry looked at the flames, thinking about why he had embarked onto this journey of darkness, horror and revenge, embracing the dark arts and rising even stronger than was possible…..
"Harry! You have to promise me…not to go and throw away your life. I want you to have a happy….family and life. I am so sorry…that I…cant be with you..in the future. Swear to me…that you wont….throw away your life needlessly!" Ginny whispered as she lay cradled in Harry's arms, drawing shallow breaths. Harry shook his head, hugging her tighter, tears spilling from his emerald eyes, "I cant Ginny. I love you so much….they will have to suffer for hurting you…." Ginny gave Harry a small smile and whispered sweetly," Please Harry, for I…" Ginny choked and coughed. Trying again, Ginny opened her mouth to speak but her next words were inaudible. Bellatrix lestrange, while trying to stop them, had stabbed Ginny in the stomach, fatally injuring her.
Drawing in her last breath, Ginny smiled at harry again before closing her eyes, her head rolling gently to rest against Harry's chest.
"Ginny! Ginny! Wake Up! WAKE UP!" Harry cried, shaking Ginny but to no avail. Pulling back, Harry looked towards the heavens, screaming like a mad men, his heart torn in half, " NO! I WILL KILL THEM ALL! I WILL KILL THEM ALL…."
oOo
Harry drew a long breath, That day had been the worse day in his life. The loss of Ginny had finally made him understand that the pain that came from war was losing people whom he loved and not losing his own life. Leaning his head backwards, Harry remembered his bitter oath upon Ginny's grave, swearing that he would avenge her death and kill everyone who was involved in her death. Sighing, Harry lay on to his bed his green eyes staring into space before drifting off to sleep.
oOo
Greengrass Manor
Daphne had been an emotional wreck over the previous days. The loss of her sister had hit her hard as both Daphne and Astoria had always been very close, telling each other secrets and sharing their problems. With Astoria's death, Daphne had felt as though part of her had died on that night.
"Storia…" Daphne whispered, stroking the picture of her sister, "I am sorry for not taking better care of you…" her voice breaking, Daphne whispered, "oh gods, I wish you weren't dead." before letting her tears fall down, hugging her knees and blaming herself for her sister's death.
oOo
Davis home
After 3 days of not seeing Daphne at the Auror office, Tracey had became increasingly worried about Daphne's condition, finally deciding to visit her at her home. Using the floo, Tracey went to Greengrass Manor. Upon entering the house, Tracey quickly walked towards Daphne's room, worry written all over her face.
Entering the room, Tracey softly asked, " Daph? You in there?"
Tracey opened the door to see a petite figure thrashing around in the bed while screaming out. Seeing her friend in such a vulnerable state caused Tracey to feel a sense of heartbreak. Rushing forward, Tracey tried to hug her friend but was stopped by a wand pointing at her face. "Uh , Daph?" Tracey asked, leaning away from the wand.
"I WON'T LET YOU KILL ME LIKE HOW YOU KILLED MY SISTER! I WILL KILL YOU MYSEL… Is that you Tracey?" Daphne asked, realizing her mistake before removing her wand from her friend's face.
"Daph, Are you okay? You have not been at work for 3 days and you were having a nightmare just now. What were you dreaming about?" Tracey asked in concern.
" Its fine.." Daphne sniffed, wiping her eyes while trying to reign in her emotions and hide them.
"Daph…." Tracey sighed.
"Fine, I was dreaming about my sister's death okay?!" Daphne tried and failed to hide her grief, letting her friend hug her and comfort her while she cried, her sobs wracking up her body.
After an hour or so, Daphne finally managed to gain control over her emotions.
"You feeling better Daphne?" Tracey asked her while rubbing her back. Daphne nodded, her eyes red and puffy. "Listen Daph, I am really sorry about this, but you are needed at the office to sign some documents regarding the burial of your sister and Malfoy's body in addition to the inheritance contracts, Is that alright?" Tracey asked apologetically. Daphne nodded blankly, before going into her ensuite bathroom to freshen herself up and change her clothes. After a dab of mascara, Tracey flooed to the ministry with a Daphne behind her…
oOo
" Cygnus, Sean, Sebestian, I require your services" Harry called out. As each name was called out, the person stood up sharply before following Harry into a strategy room. "Tonight, the hitwizards will be having a supposedly "secret" meeting at their HQ in Godrics Hallows. Lead our mercenaries and kill them all. I do not want them interfering with my other plans. Do not fail me. I will not be merciful if you do so" Harry finished in a deadly and chilling voice. "Now, prepare yourselves, I have need to go to the Ministry to settle some matters, you are to attack at midnight."
Finishing his words, Harry swept his cloak around his back and walked out of the house, on his way to the ministry…
The End for now
