In the summer before harry's fifth year he is fed up with Dumbledore's manipulations and attempts to keep him in the dark. After the Dementor attack he shows everyone the Slytherin side he suppressed for so long maybe the hat was right,he belonged to the Snake Pit. (rated T because I'm paranoid)Dumbledore bashing, weasley and granger bashing

….

Lord Voldemort paced in his room angrily. What was happening to him? He was sick, always exhausted and he was losing his magic it was terrible. He was starting to drain his Death Eater's magic. He couldn't understand Nagini anymore, not to mention he was starting to shed like a snake.

It couldn't be because of his Horcruxes, nobody knew about them. And the defences were too powerful to break.

Voldemort clutched his head as another wave of pain hit him. It started from his toes and travelled to his head. It was like a never-ending migraine.

He dragged his feet to his personal library went through his books desperate for answers, he needed to know why he was losing his magic, and what he discovered rendered him speechless.

'It is possible for a witch or a wizard to lose the magic if they are completely disowned if the head of their 'House' disowns not only by blood but also by magic. The individual will lose their magic and die painfully. A very complicated potion can save their life, it must be …..'

It couldn't be, he was lord Slytherin he just needed to claim that title. It must be another one of Dumbledore's schemes. Probably a harmless spell to scare him must have been in one of the letters he got anonymously. He was Lord Voldemort, nothing could kill.

Voldemort laughed insanely and drowned a pepper up potion. He was going to be fine in a few days. He had Horcruxes ensuring his immortal life. He wasn't going to pay attention to something this ridiculous. He was probably going to get better in a few days anyway. No need to brew a difficult potion when he could spend his time doing something useful.

And that day Lord Voldemort made a grave mistake.

….

I didn't have time to write much so I decided to show what Voldemort was thinking and the side effects of the disownment. I also think Voldemort is very arrogant and self-centred and I hope this chapter shows how Voldemorts believes he is invincible and unstoppable and I think this was his fatal mistake, believing to be invincible.
