The New Dark Lord

Chapter 7

Raids

August 2nd 1995

The Burrow

Dumbledore and his Order members gathered in the dining room for the first full meeting since the last war over a decade ago; its members, however, were on the low side despite Molly Arthur Moody himself, Professor McGonagall and young Cedric Diggory the rest of the order were just a small group of ragtag members of society.

Those who were members of the Auror service could no longer play an active role in the Order, thanks to new legislation passed by the Wizengamot banning All members of the DMLE from using their positions in the Ministry to aid any renegade factions.

The Ministry had passed this in an effort to weaken the NDEs who had launched an attack on a Magical settlement in France as retaliation for Lord Potters destruction of the British Cell group; however, Dumbledore knew this was all a trick; he just couldn't prove it to anyone.

Especially when word came of how the supposed raid had failed horribly, you see while it was indeed a magical settlement they attacked it was an uninhabited settlement the last time it had permanent residents was during the Peverell-War as it was and still owned by the Peverell Family.

So when the NDEs attacked, the only people there was a battalion of French Aurors on a training mission.

He had one significant problem to deal with; on top of that, he had not been able to find a DADA Professor before August and now had no choice but to let the Ministry to find one, no doubt one of Toms followers or a Ministry loyalist like Madam Undersecretary Umbridge, it was clear to him the Order needed new blood he would have to increase recruitment for the Light-side.

Office of the Minister for Magic

Ministry for Magic Building

London

"A splendid Idea Lord Malfoy. Will you and the board of governors agree to the odd but very welcome choice of staff recruitment." Fudge asked his old supporter with a giant grin on his face

"It is all approved already, Minister; we will be sending him a letter today and should hear back from him in the morning."

Lucius Malfoy left the Minister's office; his Master's plan complete the old goat would be powerless to stop them as he passed the newsstand in the central Antrim; he was surprised to see the title on the latest edition of the Prophet.

His Illustrious Highness Hadrian James Orion Plantagenet-Peverell the Duke of Lancaster and Inverness (official Greeting)

Your Grace(unofficial Greeting)

That's right, Ladies and gentlemen, our national hero, is a descendent of an old Royal House of England and Cousin to the current Queen of England who has officially alongside Parliament granted him his new Titles.

When asked if it was legal to have so many titles, the Goblins informed this reporter that His Grace had absorbed all Houses he is head off into the newly established house of Plantagenet-Peverell, giving him a tremendous amount of Power in the Wizengamot.

His Grace was unreachable for a comment as he returned to Potter Castle to deal with his new positions in both the Magical and Muggle Government of Britain.

Lucius smiled as he took the paper with him back to Malfoy Manor; no doubt his Nephews old Friends would have seen this very soon and be desperate to gain back his friendship; what did shock him was the Lord of Slytherin Title as he assumed that would be the Dark Lords.

But it seems that magic had a different way of looking at it; hell, the Dark Lord didn't care that he lost the Title as he was too busy enjoying having new sources of Gold to fund his war at his disposal. Well, that and the fact he also had a claim to the Peverell Family of Cadmus.

It turns out Lucius was right when the Order got hold of the information at dinner time they went into panic mode on gaining the young Duke's support in the war before Voldemort, or in the case of Ron Weasley bitching that his so-called best friend had all this new wealth and not telling him.

The boy wasn't the brightest wand in the class, or as his son and nephew put it, he was a complete moron and disgrace; he couldn't help but agree with that statement having worked in the same building as the father, it was clear the apple didn't fall far from the tree.

Village of Godrics Hollow

Wales

August 12th 1995

The mostly magical Village was in pure shock there peaceful little village was under attack by men in Death Eater masks led by the man who had cast the dark mark within the grounds of Hogwarts. He himself cut down the 2 Aurors that were posted in the town with ease before ordering his men to kill the muggles and any who protected them.

"My Lord, the Ministry has arrived!" Came the yell of one of the masked men, all of them turned to see that more ministry personnel, including Dumbledore, had arrived. Smirking, he turned and gave Dumbledore an exaggerated bow. "Well, lads, look at this the Great Albus Dumbledore has come."

"This ends now; Harry Potter surrender it's not too late to redeem yourself before the Light," Albus called out, completely unaware that the Ministry personnel stopped and gave him a look of shock before turning to the Hooded figure.

What Albus didn't expect was for the man he knew was harry to begin laughing. "Oh, Albus, you are funny, he waved his wand over his face removing his mask and hood, revealing his face. It was not what they were expecting."

The man's eyes were a sickly yellow. The entire left side of his face was scarred; this was not Harry Potter. "Allow me to introduce myself; I am Lord Palpatine Riddle, Leader of the New Death Eaters and heir of the Greatest Dark Lord of all time, Lord Voldemort!"

The Ministry and Order flinched at the name entirely in shock, none more so than the Minister for Magic himself, and it appears this Palpatine saw the look he was getting. "Don't look so surprised, Minister. Why would I fear the name of my own Father."

Dumbledore was now in complete shock. This was Toms son that was impossible; how could Voldemort have a son, and he not know about it, "why are you here tonight, Palpatine? What reason could you possibly have to be here is your father with you."

Dumbledore! He's dead. We have more significant problems." Fudge hissed at him only to pale as the son of Voldemort laughed. "You should listen to your Minister, old man, as to why I am here simple. This is where my father died all those years ago. I intend to destroy this village starting with the very home my father died in, but now it looks like I'll have more bodies to add to the pile."

"Oh, I think not scar-face." Came a very familiar voice from behind the Dark Lords heir, the person in question held a bloody sword of Gryffindor in his right hand and a dead Death eater held by the fallen man's robes in his left; it was none other than Hadrian Plantagenet-Peverell himself, and he didn't look happy.

Palpatine Riddle hissed in anger before activating his Portkey, leaving both Hadrian and The Ministry standing there in shock, well the Ministry in shock Hadrian was glaring at Dumbledore. "So Minister, the remaining NDEs have fled ill leave this in your capable hands; after all, I wouldn't want to be judged falsely of being the scarred twat again."

Potter Castle 10 minutes later.

Arriving at his office, he smiled to himself as he saw a freshly made pot of tea on his desk, pouring himself a cup he allowed himself a minute to enjoy it before looking up at the other figure who sat in one of the comfy chairs that were placed before his desk.

"It appears we have done well, old friend, the Dark Lord will be pleased, and we are one step closer towards our goal." Said figure was non-other than Lord Palpatine, who smiled as his features began to change, and he grew in height, leaving a smiling Sirius Black in his place.

"Indeed, Pup, we did well, but seriously when do we make our final play." He asked, looking at his smiling Godson. His reply was as cryptic as ever.

"When the time is just right, Padfoot when the time is right."

September 1st 1995

Hogwarts School Great-hall

The last few weeks had not been kind to Dumbledore, or his supporter's word had got to the Papers of the raid on Godrics hollow and the fact that The Dark Lord was indeed dead, but he had an heir this Lord Palpatine Riddle was the leader of the New Death Eaters.

The sorting had just finished, and the Ministry hired DADA Professor had yet to arrive. It was most annoying for Albus, who was going to send Fawkes with a Message only for the great hall doors to open, granting access for the Minister.

"Ah Albus, sorry we are late, but the Ministry never rests; allow me to introduce your new Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor. His Grace Hadrian Plantagenet-Peverell." As the young Nobleman made himself visible before the Great hall, the students gasped in shock.

Hadrian smiled at the hall. "That's right I'm back bitches."
