James stopped dead end when he had reached the place the scream came from. Sirius and Remus were both lying on the ground, Sirius holding on to an almost unconscious Remus for dear life. Against them stood Fenrir Greyback, along with the Slytherin's and Peter Pettigrew.

"I thought you said your filthy friends were still in the castle?" Lucius hissed mad.

"I thought they were!" Peter quickly defended himself.

Petrificus Totalus! Bellatrix shrieked when she noticed James.

With a low thud the black haired boy fell on the ground.

This was it, this is where it all ends...

Panic ruled James's mind. He heard footsteps approaching and soon he was dragged to his friends by Greyback.

"The Dark Lord can come every second now, should we finish them?" Narcissa asked nervously.

"No, he'll be pleased to see we caught a werewolf and two blood traitors." Lucius said.

James could see Sirius's eyes shooting in all directions, but it was useless, there was no way they could escape. Suddenly there was the sound of other footsteps getting closer. A young man came through the bushes. He had dark brown hair with similar eyes and a pale skin. Immediately Greyback fell on his knees. The Slytherin's who never had met the Dark Lord now understood this was him and quickly followed the werewolf.

"Greyback, what is all this?"

His voice sounded calm and controlled. Sirius couldn't believe that this man, who could only be eight years older than them by most, was the dark wizard that held the entire country in fear.

"Blood traitors and a werewolf my lord, they followed the students into the forest."

The man gave a quick nod. With a simple wave of his wand, James was released.

"What are your names?"

"James Potter."

"Potter, that's a pureblood family." "Why would you want to stop me?" "Do you know what my plans are?"

"Yes, you think that purebloods are better than others and what to get rid of everyone who isn't a pureblood." James said with as much hate as he could bear.

The man just smiled and looked at Sirius.

"And what about you?"

"I'm Sirius Black."

"Black?" Finally his calm tone was changed into surprise. He turned to Narcissa who stared at the ground and Bellatrix, who got a red face in an instante.

"Is this boy related to you, miss Black?"

"Unfortunately...this blood traitor is our cousin, my lord." Bellatrix whispered.

"The Potter family had always been known not to refer to blood status and therefore I am not surprised to see this boy here." "But the Black family...must be one of the most upstanding pure bloodlines there has ever been." "This will leave a mark on you both."

Narcissa and Bellatrix both nodded. "Yes my lord."

"And what do we have here?"

His dark eyes met with Remus's grey ones.

"R...Remus Lupin."

"Lupin...that is a name that I do not know." "Your bloodstatus?"

"This is the werewolf my lord." Greyback said.

"And what is your name?" Sirius suddenly asked.

The man's face changed from calmness to pure hate. Suddenly they could see why he was the dangerous wizard. The man raised his wand, ready to attack and Sirius closed his eyes.

"Tom Marvolo Riddle!"
