Chapter 7: The Burning

Hey guys! I'm so sorry ! The wait has been long because I couldn't get myself to write.

I have been rewatching the HP films and couldn't put it down. The DH part 2 was too sad, reminding myself again and again that there wouldn't be another one.

But as JK Rowling says: "The stories we love do live in us forever."

Oh well…. on to the 1K chapter…..

Please Review!

DISCLAIMER: NOTHING IS MINE all JKR

oooooooooooooooooo

Marvolo Mansion 1989, Throne Room

The Dark Lord suddenly had a pulsing headache. Some Death Eater was in front of him, grovelling and kissing his shoes, seriously, did this people have any sanitary concerns? Voldemort chuckled out loud by accident, imagining that the person was licking a smidgen of piss that was on his shoes. Everyone in the room stopped breathing when he laughed. Looked around questionly not knowing he laughed out loud instead of mentally. Ah shit, Voldemort thought, they expect me to torture someone because of the information quality, which was probably poor.

"My lord, do you also think that Dumbledore is taking over the Ministry held sectors?" The Dark Lord tilted his head and pondered. What could he do? Torture the man and have him repeat the information? No that would be a waste of magic, what could he do? He thought as he gently rubbed Nagini's scaly head. Oh of course! He could ask Nagini about the man information. The corners of his lips quirked up as he knew speaking Parseltongue was something his followers feared, as they did not know what he was ordering Nagini to do, kill them or go sleep.

"Nagini! What was the man talking about? I wasn't paying attention." Voldemort whispered softly, but loud enough so the Death Eaters could hear.

"Ah! I knew it by that look in your eyesss that you were thinking of something particularly funny." Voldemort glared at Nagini and tried again.

"Yesss, yesss, but that issn't the point! What wasss he sssspeaking about?" Nagini flicked her tongue out and replied.

"Of course, my lord. He wasss sssaying that Dumbledore had pulled ssssome Phoneix Aurorssss to the Minisssstry sssectorsss, while ssslowly replacing their resservess with hissss own." Voldemort nodded. Lucius's little trick of switching around sectors wouldn't have lasted any longer anyways. The old man was a cautious one, knowing his unpredictable spouts of attack. The sectors were now probably half full of Dumbledore supporters and it would be more difficult to attack. It didn't matter though, he had too many Death Eaters anyways, it would do to raid some places to satisfy his followers bloodlust.

"Dumbledore is being cautious again, but we have to show no fear. Have Lucius come in." He dismissed the Death Eater spy and called in one of his more trustworthy followers.

"My lord." Lucius kneeled in front of Voldemort before getting beckoned up.

"Plan two more raids in sectors with more Muggles. Fire up as many Dark Marks as you like to scare the Muggles. Use flashier spells to get the Muggles to start wondering. If Dumbledore arrives, leave immediately, none of you have any chance against him. Don't use Fiendfyre at all. Dismissed Lucius." Lucius bowed his head and left. Voldemort remembered one last thing.

"Kidnap the Mudblood girl's parents in the first one."

Marvolo Mansion 1989, few hours later

Brian was called into the throne right after he did another potion session with Snape. He was starting to enjoy his lessons with Snape, he really wanted to take his mask off but his father absolutely insisted to not allow Snape to see his face. He was still deep in his thoughts when he slammed into the wooden door of the throne room.

"Damn it!" He kicked the huge studded doors and stormed into the room, completely ignoring the two Carrows and some poor Muggles that were being tortured by them. The Muggles all ogled at him because he was a child, walking around with people getting tortured.

"Father, would you please put up the auto open spells on the door? It has been annoying." Voldemort smirked.

"Maybe you should just look where you're walking." Voldemort drawled at Brian and he pointed at the Muggles over on the side. "Want to take a guess at who those two are?" Brian looked over.

"The Grangers? Merlin father, what are you going to do to them?" The Grangers looked over at the mention of their names and they looked at Brian with pleading eyes. Both of them screamed as two Death Eaters hit each one of them with a Cruciatus Curse. Brian frowned and turned around. "Are you going to keep Hermione? Are you crazy? Some Mudblood? You've gone mental!" His voice echoed in the spacious room. The Dark Lord glared at Brian.

"I sense a very powerful core in her, Brian. She will be our Mudblood leader. Rallying the stronger ones. Mudbloods are worthless, but we want the stronger ones in our hands." Brian nodded at the logic. Suddenly Voldemort stood up, he waved his hand at the Grangers and disillusioned them. RIght after Bella and Hermione came in talking to each other. At that Brian gulped, if Hermione saw her parents here, they would be very screwed.

"Can you do wandless magic Mrs. Lestrange?" Bella smiled at Hermione and replied.

"Some Hermione, but Brian's father there can do it very well." Hermione looked up at the Dark Lord adoringly, and Voldemort looked away feeling disgusted at the look. Brian suppressed a laugh and but quieted when Voldemort started speaking.

"Mudb….. I mean Hermione, do you want to go home? I mean you have your parents there right?" Hermione perked up at the mention of her parents.

"Sir, could I go between my parents and your place and learn magic?" Voldemort smirked.

"Of course, but you should go back to your parents first shouldn't you?" Hermione nodded.

"Yeah I should." Voldemort gestured to Wormtail.

"Bring the young lady home please." Wormtail nodded and whisked Hermione away, who was trying to strike up a conversation. Voldemort spoke after the door was closed.

"Alecto, you were at the first Muggle Raid weren't you?" The air rippled where the disillusionment charm was placed.

"Yes, my lord." Voldemort took off the charm, revealing two Death Eaters and two Muggles.

"And you did what I asked?" There was a silence that was punctuated by Mrs. Granger crying.

"I did, my lord. Their house was burned down, along with transfigured puppets." Voldemort chuckled darkly.

"Welcome to the mansion, Hermione."
