A/N: Hey! I'm sorry for the long wait- though I suppose it's not as long as some of my past stories. Anyways, I got my computer back! Woot! Sorry, just needed to get that out of my system at two in the morning. I always wondered why others complained about posting things at ungodly hours until I started doing it myself. It's the only time we can! So anyways, I'll be back to posting once every week or so now ^^

Anyways, to all my reviewers:

Ch 4

Boy-Wonder,

I was perfectly aware of what my letter would instigate and I didn't need the quill to show your dysfunctional 'family's' reactions. I can and will say anything we have in common. You will be going back to Hogwarts soon am I correct? I was planning on having another Death Eater work there but I think the ministry's choice of teacher will suit my purposes far better. Have fun with the pink frog this school year!

Tom

Ps. Yes, I signed it You-Know-Who but I wasn't trying to say what the stupid sheep say. It was obvious who was writing the letter.


Tommy-Boy

Pff- the title is because you made an alias that sounds weird- it means 'flight of death' or something right? Besides if you had wanted to have people say 'Voldemort' you wouldn't have put a taboo on it last war.

My family is not dysfunctional- you just don't have a family to compare it to! So ha! Maybe you should make little Bellamort babies, I know she'd agree. Oh geeze, that was a bad image- can you imagine what they would look like? Crazy frizzy haired snaked faced children… I'm getting shivers just thinking about it.

Pink frog… I'm getting a really bad feeling about this. You mean the woman at my hearing wearing that revolting cardigan don't you? Ugh! I have such horrible luck!- Wait… you know that curse on the DADA job right? Hmm… Another death please? Or am I not allowed to say that?

Fate's Plaything


Prophecy Child,

Taboo? You heard of that? I'm proud- unless someone just mentioned it and you happened to remember it. If not you must have actually put some effort into researching the wizarding world. Yes Voldemort means flight of death but you don't honestly expect me to take over Wizarding Britain with a name like Tom Riddleof all things, it's not even remotely frightening.

Your family is made up of a half mentally-insane godfather, a werewolf, a bitter house elf who disobeys orders (which shouldn't even be possible) and a screaming portrait. I rest my case. Bellatrix… and me? You are more of a fool than I realized. She is happily married to her husband Rudolphus Lestrange- though I assume their marriage is rather rocky with both of them in Azkaban. I on the other hand do not find myself interested in… the more physical desires, not to mentio- why am I even discussing this with you?

Right… next subject. Pink Frog. The fat frog-woman in pink- you know her I know her we're talking about the same person. So rumor of the curse has spread? I only put a minor curse on the job but it must have escalated- the only person to actually die in over a decade is Quirell though just so you know so I wouldn't count on a death.

Tom

Ps. I think Fate has a sick sense of humor if she needs a little boy to achieve her goals.


Lord of the Trash-Heap

Oh yes, very lordly.

And I did look that up on my own! Well… after hearing it mentioned… once or twice…

Oh, by the way, I think you're convincing my godfather a little. I haven't heard the portrait of his mother screaming about 'disgracing the name Black' anymore. Speaking of names, Tom Riddle added to your original er… face, would have been pretty striking I think. It's just the 'muggleness' of the name that's the problem really.

Right, I'm not even going to go into the family thing right now- but if we're being general, adding Remus in there, then we have to add a betraying coward in there too because Wormtail was still a marauder.

'Not interested in physicality'? Are you serious? That has got to be a lie and I still can't imagine that woman doesn't want to get in your pants after the groveling I saw in that last vision I got of your meeting last night-and by the way, gruesome much? I'm pretty sure people aren't supposed to bleed that much; just a thought.

Not to mention…? What? You lost your bits when you came out of the cauldron? I could see where the lack of desire stemmed from if that was the case.

You're serious about the curse? That was just speculation. Hmm… I think I'll just try to stay away from this lady's bad side this year. If not, I might end up being the cause for the curse's activation.

Hadrian

Ps. That's by full name by the way

PPs. I thought we had already established that Fate was a twisted bitch?


Chosen One,

Trash-heap my ass. Unless Lucius' manor is considered a trash heap...

'Once or twice'? I will take that to mean it was shoved down your throat and you were left in a library to research when the person who spoke of it realized you didn't know what they were talking about.

His mother's portrait screams? How lovely. I would be surprised if they actually did this though, the three of the marauders never seemed like they would be willing to turn their back on 'the light'. On to the matter of physicality, may I choose the response 'no comment'?

Visions? What do you mean? Hmm… you speak as though this happens often. How far have these visions progressed and how often are they? For the record, we were leeching the woman of her blood, she was bound to bleed more than usual.

I am insulted actually. You believe I, Lord Voldemort, would botch a resurrection to the point of losing my manhood? –Ah, it was the rat who preformed much of the ritual so I suppose I can see where you're coming from. I still don't know why I'm speaking about this with you; Never speak of this again- is that clear?

Are you actually insinuating that you would kill the ministry toad? I think I underestimated your 'goldenness' far more than I should have.

V.

Ps. I don't give a damn what your full name is- it could be Harold or Harvey or Harrison or something like that, it really doesn't matter to me.


Lord Volde*

He-Who-Must-N*

Riddle,

Forgive me for the title but I couldn't rouse to much suspicion. To be honest I wasn't sure how to title this letter at all. This is regarding the letter you sent me earlier this week, though I have no idea how you managed to get it through the wards surrounding me residence.

I have spoken to Remus and we need to know exactly what we're getting into. If working with you pits us against the few people in the Order we can stand there's no deal. Cub is more important to me than anything else but I know how people like you work and taking away our freedom is not something I can agree to.

Black.


*: Sorry about that, FF. net doesn't like strikethroughs so it got rid of them it was supposed to be him crossing out the first titles before deciding on Riddle.

J-S out!

R&R!
