Chapter 6
A/N- Short Chapter- sorry. I'm concentrating on Alya to build her base.
PARSELTONGUE- ; ;
Talking – " "
Alya looked through the eyes of the Dark Lord and saw Death Eaters that were scrambling out of the dark room. After the last Death Eater was out of sight, a large snake came slithering towards the Dark Lord, up onto the chair and around his arm.
;Master, do we have the unspeakables set up in the department of mysteries?;
Alya went into shock. She could actually hear the snake. Maybe it's only because she was in the Dark Lords head. Maybe that's just it. She couldn't be a Parseltongue herself. There is no way. But deep down, Alya knew there was a big possibility that she too could have accumulated that trait of the Dark Lord.
;Yes, as long has my idiot Death Eaters don't screw this up, everything will go as plan, and I will finally know what my future holds. Until then we can't do much;
;How about the raids?; Nagini asked
;I would order raids for the enjoyment, but Harry Potter is right where I want him to be. Right now the whole Ministry is against him. The Ministry controls the media, that means that the media is showing Potter as a fool and a liar, and that makes the wizarding population against Potter and extremely vulnerable;
Alya decided that was enough to prove to herself that the Dark Lord's mind and hers is just a doorway away. She only wished that she could tell someone, a friend that would she would have complete confidence in.
The compartment door slid open and disrupted Alya from her thoughts. She looked up and saw Malfoy and his goons behind him.
"Everything alright, cus?" Malfoy asked as he saw his cousin sitting all alone.
"Uh, yea I am, thanks Draco." Alya smiled.
"If you haven't noticed or something, you have a letter on the sit next to you."
"Oh, yea, I know," Alya lied, "I left it there to not forget to read it, heh. But if it's alright with you I would like to read it alone."
"Okay, swing by compartment A41 if you need anything." With that Draco left the compartment with Golye and Crabbe.
Alya picked up the letter addressed to her and looked up at the open window. She knew an owl came in during the time that she was looking in Voldemorts eyes. The writing on the letter was small and hard to read, but still legible. She tore off the wax seal and opened the letter.
Dear Alya Lestrange,
I hope you are doing well, but I'm not writing to you about your health. Due to your condition, I have volunteered to be your guardian and your private professor during your time at Hogwarts. If you agree and I have your complete trust, I would like to start private lessons with you. Please inform me about anything you have learnt or qualities you've learnt about the bond.
Other than that I wish you the very best of luck on your first term at Hogwarts. Come meet me after the great feast.
Professor Snape
Potions Master
Alya knew Snape was very helpful, but did he go too far? He might be the person Alya needs, to get rid of her stress.
In Dumbledore's office
"I just came back from a meeting," said Severus.
"Anything new?" asked Dumbledore.
"He said he was keeping it low, and he is more ambitious than ever to achieve. The Department of Mysteries, as we know, is his mark. He won't stop trying, Headmaster."
"Alright, if that is all-"
"Actually, no, Headmaster. I wanted to discuss about another matter involving Bellatrix Lestrange's daughter. Her connection to the Dark Lord is stronger than Potter's. She knows occulemency because of him, and she can see what he is seeing. She could help us in many ways, Headmaster. I'm not sure if we are able to make her see the light. She has only seen the darkness, such as the Dark Arts and it's natural of her too see the bidding of the Dark Lord and not flinch, or wince," Severus explained. "So I took matters into my own hands and proposed to teach her about her abilities and how to control the pain."
"Remember, Harry is also a priority if he chooses to start occulemency lessons, Severus," Dumbledore reminded the Potions Master.
"Did you tell him I would be the one teaching him the lessons?" asked Snape.
"No, but I will. Unfortunately, I have a feeling he might ask to start the lessons, but find out that you are the one teaching him, and regret his decision," Dumbledore said concerned. "Please be ready to have room in your schedule for teaching both students, Severus."
"I will. That is all Headmaster."
A/N- I just found out I had blocked the anym. reviews. Sorry =S –unblocks-
