Chapter 6 protection
Voldermort's POV
I was standing looking over the balcony of the tower observing Hogwarts forest, I will have to do something about those wild beasts… Last night they chucked apples at the walls, the wards protected us from the hit of the apples but Bella's rants and screaming went on for hours.
I had moved out of Malfoy Manor and into Hogwarts, which since I took over it, disposing of the final order members has become my personal playground I can't say I am not pleased. My taking over of the world is going well, Hogwarts is my new home I was not thrilled that I moved out of Malfoy manor but I needed too, it was just too hard to use the mansion as the head quarter's for my full forces, there is enough room for Lucius to use it for his minster work of course but thousands of troops… needing somewhere to train hold prisoner's, Hogwarts is a perfect place. Anyway when everything is more stable I will give my son quarters and everything will be fine.
"That Longbottom boy is becoming a pain," I turn the woman handed me a glass of wine, I smile at her, she has become a little follower of little Neville I cannot say I am not surprised, Bellatrix desires a child a son… but I cannot imagine becoming a Father now… My youngest grandchild will be older, but I understand her point, I am still considering it, maybe we could attempt to have a child.
"Yes is he still missing?" Neville had disappeared and no one knows where he is, not even Fenrir the famous werewolf could locate him... it is so odd that he can disappear some of the death eaters are convinced he flew away. I was disrupted by Bella's complaining,
"Yes but he managed to release 12 kilograms of plants that made the northern floor smell like poo," I almost laugh, I believe the boy is still hanging around I have had the Death eaters check, but truthfully I don't want him harmed, my elite are wand happy and an unexperienced wizard will be harmed by Neville… when the time comes, I will retrieve Neville myself. What I am to do with him, I am still unsure but maybe company for Harry…
"Well are you sure it was him?" I enquire, "It could have been the red heads." She nodded, the red heads were a bunch of pranksters and have been unheard of for several weeks, and rumour is that they are producing a radio station, but no one can find it… probably another rumour.
"I believe it was him, my dear- the culprit wrote DA still recruiting" Bella said sitting on our couch, I nod and sit next to her.
"Yes that message does sound like him, anyway have you heard from your Sister?" Bella rolled her eyes, I almost laugh, the heavily pregnant Narcissa who is now in her seventh month of pregnancy is well known for her odd requests.
"You mean the hormonal mess, yes apparently she had the house elf's get her strawberry's at 2.30 in the morning."
"That doesn't sound too bad." I say, last week she demanded quale's eggs at 4 in the morning.
"Strawberries that were based in Sweden, at 2.30 in the morning." I almost laugh, poor Lucius he wasn't getting enough rest before now he won't be for many years."Oh well the baby is getting what he or she requires, any news about Harry?" Bella yet again rolled her eyes,
"You mean the spoilt runt, Lucius brought him some clothes based at 100 gallons easy." I laugh, Harry had been with the Malfoy's for over five months now, and is quite comfortable, he was unable to leave the mansion but we had the band lifted so he can do assistant work for Lucius the collar allows him to be in the top few floors of the ministry and the manor but that's it… it used to be just Lucius office but we had it lifted so he can get coffee.
"Well there is a dinner coming up, Lucius does expect him to attend." Bella rolled her eyes, "well if you want to entertain Frances Minster you tell me."
"If we need their help… we can just take over," she said I almost roll her eyes, and makes me glad her Sister is better in public relations than Bella
"Bella France holds the largest population of Veela in the world; we need them to join them so we need to tread likely, I can't have my men fighting and then screaming there internal love for the Veela can I?" She laughed but nodded her head in agreement.
Lucius POV
"Harry do you have my report on the new text books?" My assistant nodded and passed it to me, I look at my watch Umbridge is going to be here any second "good can you run and get me a coffee?" he nodded, "oh and can you check the third floor to see if the most wanted list has come through for me Harry?" he nodded gave me a smile, and left. I didn't want harry to see the foul woman, she had put him through so much pain, I knew Harry would be busy for a little while, within a minute Umbridge entered. "Good morning" I say Umbridge gave a sickling smile, I offer her a seat.
"Minister the legislation for mud bloods to be exterminated if they attempt to wave a wand is here." I sat there and stared at the legislation, I should not feel bad, but I didn't want to do it suddenly all Harry's talks about his friends, but then I think about the small scars on harry the one his Uncle did, and even through his Uncle is not a wizard (thank god) it was enough to make me sign the forms. She took them and left, Harry returned soon after with my coffee, it was an unwritten position each coffee guarantees him a hot chocolate.
"The people on the third floor didn't have the wanted list ready but they wanted your tips for the quiddish teams for the competition," I smile, and I and Harry went through the best teams, than Harry went back to his desk outside my office. My day was going to get hectic; the French want the dinner moved up from three weeks away to two. And my very pregnant Narcissa and my son who is studying for his NEWTS are not going to like it, Narcissa is at some sort of opening today, I think it's at the hospital actually.
Since the take-over of London and the final battle of Hogwarts (in which Narcissa Draco and Harry were so barricaded up in the manor I was afraid I would set off the alarm.) I seem to be in the dark lord's favour; he has given Harry more freedom and given him an expectation to the half-blood laws. Half-bloods are no longer allowed to marry pure bloods unless there is some serious ancestry, Harry would be able to Harry is allowed to, and the dark lord has also allowed Harry to take the rest of the year off of study he will start his OWLS next year. He is a good assistant, and the money he earns go into an account for later on… not that he will need it.
Narcissa I and even Bella agree that Harry's life is pretty set, he would either be with Draco forever and he will work probably not for me, I am sure of what but I know Severus would like him to assist with potion making for the dark lord. Or he will either not be with Draco or find a good job… but if the band is not lifted he will proably end up with working for Severus anyway.
I was very proud of my Family my son is a good man, I am very proud, but I am concerned for my new child's wellbeing this world is a crazy place and a small baby… I cannot think about it now I am a good parent I will protect my new child.
I often wonder what gender my child will be, boy or girl. But I know no matter what I will be happy.
How did I go?
