chapter 9

Corruption in the ministry

An assassin was walking through the halls. Minister Schriminger was doing paper work.

He didn't even notice that someone walked into his room. Schriminger looked up he saw the assassin in red and black robes. The assassin pointed his wand at Schriminger's face. The assassin shot a flash of green light at Schriminger.

Later at Hogwarts

The front doors at Hogwarts began to shake. The old doors stood strong but shook of lots of dust.

The 7th year students and prefects pointed their wands at the ready towards the door. The minister's advisor told everyone to stand back.

He blasted the doors opened and said " Everyone stand down. We are here for Potter. We have a warrant. "

Harry pushed through the front and asked "Why are you here?"

" We have a warrant. " He held out a piece of paper that had Harry's face on it and said wanted.

" I have done no wrong leave now! "

Tanner was running through the halls shouting spells at the Ministry intruders. Everyone thought he had lost it.

" Those people are death eaters! " said Tanner.

" What?!? How can they be death eaters. They are with the Ministry. " said Harry.

Tanner shot four jets of lightning and hit the advisor and his goons. The ministry retreated and they took Harry.

Back at the Ministry

There was someone in red and black robes carrying Schrimingers dead body. " It's sad you refused my lord's offer. " the Assassin said to the lifeless body. "You would have made a good servant to the Dark Lord. "

The assassin was walking to the Forbidden Forest to bury his body. The Assassin thought no one would think to look for a dead body there. The assassin apparated to Tom Riddles house. Voldemorts new hideout. He had to move because even though he might have near complete control of the ministry there are still some who might lead a large attack against him. Too many dead bodies for him to clean up. The assassin walked into the house and heard screaming. The usual sounds in the house. Though it was not the scream of people the assassin usually hears.

The assassin walked up to Voldemort and said " The minister is dead. You can now tell the advisor that he can step in his place. Now I expect my payment up front. "

" You have done well, but there is one problem. I don't pay anyone. AVADA KEDAVRA! " said Voldemort killing the assassin.

"He would have made a great asset to our team. But she didn't know that you are never to ask pay. Tsk, tsk, tsk. "

The minister's advisor walked through the door throwing Harry on the floor. Voldemort got up and looked at him. He just stared . Then the other death eaters gathered around him and started laughing. Voldemort silenced them and the laughing instantly stopped.

" Well, well, look what we have here. Little baby Potter. CRUCIO! " screamed Voldemort.

Harry screamed in pain. He felt harsh memories coming back. He could almost see his parent's deaths. Feel what they felt. He wanted to tell all his secrets to Voldemort. Then it happened.

It was Halloween night. Sixteen years ago. Lily and James Potter were sitting with their child. Voldemort opened the gate to their house. He knew no one would stand a chance so he took his time. Savored the moment. The door bell rang. James got up to see who it was. Leaving his wand with the baby who was making smoke come out of it. James looked back smiled and opened the door. His smile fell to a horrified look.

" Hello " said Voldemort

" Run " James said. " I'll hold him off. "

" You fool you can't hold me off with out a wand. "

James looked around his clothes. He remembered he left his wand with Harry.

"AVADA KEDAVRA!" screamed Voldemort killing James. " Come out, come out where ever you are. I'm not going to hurt you. I just want to play. "

He walked up the stairs. He walked into one room. He turned on the lights. He knew that this baby wasn't Harry. He spared the baby and after he dealt with Harry he would make this boy his apprentice. He found Harry's room and the door was locked. He blasted the door open. He looked at Harry and his Mother. Lily told Voldemort to take her instead. Just don't hurt Harry. He killed her then went to Harry's crib. He pointed his wand at Harry and shot a bolt of green light and it rebounded back to Voldemort.

Harry opened his eyes. The torturing had stopped. He was back at the riddle house. He got up and pulled out his wand. He looked Voldemort straight in his red eyes.

"Reducto, Stupefy, Oppungo, melifors!" Harry screamed at voldemort.

"Avada Kedavra." Voldemort said lazily it hit all of Harry's spells.

"Expelliarmus!" Harry screamed.

Voldemort blocked it and the spell went straight back to Harry. Harry was disarmed and he fell down. He was defenseless again. They heard doors break down. The heard spells flying and worst of all they heard someone coming up the stairs. Tanner burst through doors.
