[Thoughts]
{Telepathy between Harry and Voldemort}

Voldemort sat on his throne staring down at his loyal followers and the traitor. Most of the death eaters were confused as to why one of their own were in the middle chained while those who knew glared at him.

"You must be wondering why you are all here and why Mr. Nott is chained to the floor. Well that is because he had betrayed me."

"My Lord?"

"Yes Mr. Crouch?"

"What did he do my lord?"

"I entrusted him with a horcrux I made when I was younger. I realized it was a mistake to make so many and Dumbledore knows about them. Those I gave my horcruxes to I told them to bring them back. Mr. Nott gave me the one I gave him but with a surprise. Severus."

Severus stepped forward. "I found our lord twitching on the floor. I checked him and found that he had been under the original cruciatus curse that was used to stop thieves. The caster was Nott." That caused an uproar.

"That isn't all." Voldemort said causing his followers to become quiet. "Regulus."

"As you know my mates were Lily and James Potter. I had finally convinced them that Voldemort was evil when Dumbledore attacked and killed them. He then transferred one of our lord's horcruxes into my son's head." That caused many to become angry. "When we figured that out our lord came to remove it and that was when we found out that my son is our lord's mate and when our lord was cursed the pain was transferred to Harry through the bond."

That caused another uproar and soon the whole room were calling for Nott's blood. Said man was shaking and crying. He begged his lord to forgive him.

"Regulus you may go first."

"Thank you my lord." He gave the man the coldest look ever and pointed his wand at the man. "Crucio. Since my son felt this then so shall you."

Regulus kept the spell on for a few minutes. It was long enough to have the man on the ground withering in pain and screaming. He ended the curse and walked over to the man. He gave him a hard kick to the face breaking his nose. He moved back to his previous spot.

"Pathetic." He stated.

"Indeed he is." Voldemort stated as he stepped forward causing the traitor to shake in fear.

"Please my lord."

"You think you have the right to beg to me after this betrayal? I can tell you that I don't." Voldemort hissed. "You have to right at all." His red eyes flashed in rage as he thought about the pain his little mate was in.

"I'm sorry my lord please forgive me."

"No. You betrayed me and caused harm to a young child."

"I di-"

"Whether you meant to or not is irrelevant. The fact is you did and you need to pay for that."

The man looked at Voldemort in fear. In the past he would torture his victims before killing them. He would admit that he deserved what Regulus gave him but he was terrified for what the dark lord would do.

"I won't kill you." Voldemort said shocking many of his followers. "That wouldn't be a good enough punishment. You are going to the dungeons and will stay there for a month. You will face the same conditions that Azkaban has. Afterwards you will work as a housekeeper. Take him out of my sight."

"Yes my lord." A masked death eater stated and dragged the traitor away.

"The meeting is over. Get out of my sight." Most of the death eaters left.

Regulus walked over to Voldemort and held out a few pieces of paper that were covered in scribbles. Voldemort took them and knew that they were from his little mate.

"Harry made these for you. He misses you."

"I will try and see him soon Regulus."

"Thank you my lord."

Voldemort nodded and Regulus left. All that was left was Lucius. Voldemort raised an eyebrow at him.

"Lucius?"

"I found this in the library." He handed over the diary. "I checked for spells and curses but it was clean except for your horcrux."

"Thank you Lucius."

"Of course my lord." He turned and left.

Voldemort quickly reunited with his soul and destroyed the diary. He then went to his bedroom and hung up Harry's artwork. He then went to his study and began some paperwork.
