boring isn't it? Oh well, I
have to finish it. Thanks for
your reveiws. Review.

'Where is Voldemort hiding now Brun?' Asked the minister of Magic, Jakob Wolffe.
'In a mansion, it is being sold by er, Bilkov and Brown Real Estate Agents,
or something like that, it'll have the address, but it is on a hill, and it
took me four seconds to apparate from there to Daigon Alley. It is white,
and it had a huge tower in the centre.' Remembered Brun.
'Does it look like this?' said Jakob, handing him a brochure and pointing
to an A4 photograph with a white mansion, with a tower in the centre and a
flag flying proudly..
'Yes, that is it, Echo Valley.' He muttered.
'Thankyou for your time, Minister, but it is five O'clock, and Brun must get
some well deserved rest. He should still be here in the moring, if not, you
know where this Voldemort was last.' She said crisply, motioning male nurse
to come and guard Brun.
'Very well,' Jakob said, pursing his lips, 'thank you for your time Brun and
I shall be back at around one o'clock.' He exited on his heel of his boot,
and stormed out of the room, several body wizards followed behind.
'Here is your dreamless-sleep potion. It will allow you to sleep dreamlessly
for eight hours. Please drink the whole goblet, I shall be back.' The new
nurse instructed. He drank the potion and slipped in and out of sleep for
the next eight hours.
*
'AAAAAARRGH, NO, STOP, PLE-EASE STOP! I BEG YOU, AAH, PLE-EAS-EASE STOP!'
Brun screamed, quite possibly waking the whole trauma ward up. There was
some potion forced down his throat and now his screams were silent. The
potion would wear off shortly, as they were not able to get the whole dosage down.
'Brun! Brun! Listen to me, I am Nurse Pomfrey, I am here to look after you,
Brun! Please, desist from yelling. You need to rest, calm down.' Soothed Nurse Pomfrey.
'Uurgh,where am I?' he asked, now quiet.
'You are at the trauma ward at St. Eyuenswythes Hospital in London, near
Daigon Alley. You must be quiet, I can't imagine what sort of shock it's like
to be tortured, but please, keep you voice down.'
'He has been drugged, find the nurse who gave him the nightmare potion, and
quickly, check everything. This cannot be tolerated.' She hissed at a few
administrative staff and nurses. But it was too late, Agnes Tryranter had
already slipped out of her uniform cloak, into a normal cloak and was walking
down Daigon Alley.
*
'Remus! How long were you gone?' said Sirius, seeing his friends return from
the window. James grunted, now hauling back several food packages and parcels,
each addressed to someone.
'Four days, it took her a long time to get over the illness, and doctors say
it could return at any moment, particularly around the full moon, who knows
why, but she insisted on sending us all something back with me.' He said,
eating a turkey pie, which had been heated with a portable fire.
'Well, it's good to have you back,' said Sirius, fumbling through the food
parcels, searching for the one that had his name on it. 'Aah, my favourites,
how did your mum know?' Sirius ripped open his parcel, and started attacking
it straight away.
'I don't know, I guess she remembers when I had my birthday party, remember?'
shrugged Remus.
'I guess' nodded Sirius, spraying James and Remus with crumbs.
'What did you give Peter?' asked James.
'Just some cookies, I didn't know what he liked, but everyone likes cookies,
right!' Remus said, brushing the crumbs off his hands.
'And Lily?' inquired James holding up her parcel and shaking it carefully.
'I don't know…It could be anything.' Said Remus, but he knew well what was
in that parcel and James would get mad if he knew.
'Ah, that was nice' said Sirius, looking what the little remains of what he
had eaten.
'You've already eaten most of it!' scolded Lily from behind them, snatching
the parcel out of James' hands and thanking Remus. She opened it then and
Remus looked horrified.
'What is this?' said Lily, opening the bottle and sniffing, screwing up her
nose tightly.
'Oh, that's er-' Remus fumbled.
'Er, how interesting. What is it?' demanded Lily.
'You drink it.' Said Remus. Remus pulled Sirius down as she sipped, her eyes
closed, as it burned them, and her nose pinched. Sirius and Remus lay flat
on the ground and Remus was whispering furiously at Sirius, trying to get him
to stay down and watch. 'It's a love potion, weak and long lasting, this particular
one isn't banned at Hogwarts, so we are safe unless Lily dobs on us, me.'
'Good thinking!' said Sirius, 'I would have done it myself, but I can't access
all the things needed.'
'I know, so that's why I did it at home, it should be taking effect about
now…' they lay flat on the ground, behind a bush, waiting for it to take effect.
'Weird' said Lily.
'What?' James asked.
'Well, this drink, whatever it is, feels weird, all mushy.' She explained.
'May I?' said James, not bothering for a response and taking the bottle out
of her hands. He smelt it very closely, rage etching on his face, but he
couldn't be sure. James drank some and instantly felt the effects.
'Oh Lily.' James said, not needing much of a push to succumb to his passion for her.
'What?' she demanded.
'It's, this, is a love potion.' He said, pointing at the bottle.
'Oh, I'm going to absolutely kill Sirius and Remus' said Lily in a furious whisper.
'Lets play their game, We'll make it look like we are kissing-' a mortified
look from Lily, 'but we won't' he added, seeing her face, 'and we will play
chess in the common room, and eat dinner together, separate from them, and
do our studies together. If they follow us down the corridor, we will talk,
in very loud voices so they can hear us, about how good you look and stuff
like that.' He planned.
'What an excellent idea! Two to tango so to speak.' Lily breathed.
'Two to tango?' said James, obviously baffled.
'A muggle phrase' quickly explained Lily.
'Oh, so you kiss me' said James, now looking nervous and uncomfortable.
'No, you kiss me!' hissed Lily.
'I wasn't supposed to take the love potion. It makes sense Lily.' Said James.
'Yeah, I suppose.' Lily mumbled.
'Okay, we open our mouths, face the other way, because I bet my life they are
behind those bushes, and move our heads opposite sides. Like looking at our
teeth, and I'll come up and touch your hair, and you'll hold my other hand.'
Plotted James.
'Okay, one, two, three.' They did this for a few seconds, then James touched
her hair and Lily took his hand. 'Her hair is soft, like satin' he thought privately.
'His hands are so warm and his grip is so firm' thought Lily. 'And his teeth,
are perfect, not even a trace of a filling or plaque.' Thought Lily.
'Her face lights up when she smiles' thought James. 'I want to kiss her for real…'
'I don't want to pretend to kiss anymore, I want to really kiss him.' James
leaned in a little further, and so did Lily, they were about to really kiss
when there was a victorious sound coming from behind those bushes.
'I told you it would work!' said Remus.
'I never even doubted you old chap.' Sirius said cheerfully.
'Oi!' said Remus, twenty feet away.
'Look guilty.' James hissed in her ear, slowly pulling away from her, looking
at her the whole time. James had his arm around her neck and tickled it.
Lily giggled and blushed, which added to the very real effect.
'Love birds at last' sighed Sirius.
'I must thank you Remus, I have the best thing in my life.' Said James,
looking at Lily, he tickled her neck again and she blushed in vain trying to
keep her giggles under control.
'About time too!' chuckled Remus.
'Lily's mine' said a voice from behind them. There was Serevus Snape, standing
alone, with his friends standing at the exit of the castle.
'No she isn't!' A volcano exploded beside James before he could even open his
mouth. 'Look here Serevus Snape, if I hear anything about me being yours,
you better watch your back, because you will be flying so fast, this time
you wish you would have a broomstick.' Spat Lily.
Snape touched her face tauntingly with his fore finger.
'Dear, sweet Lily, so innocent.' He drawled. 'Too bad you are a mudblood, it
could have been beautiful between us.'
Lily was shaking with rage: 'How dare you, the only thing you would consider
being beautiful in a relationship is yourself. You think you are so good,
when you're not. I bet you end up supporting Voldemort, just for a kick.
Get out of my sight.' She said, dripping with disgust.
'Very well, mudblood.' He sneered. Then there was a thump. Sirius and James,
both wanting a piece of him, tackled him to the ground. Serevus was lucky.
Professor Erb walked past them at that moment when Sirius was raising his balled
fist, moving in to strike, when he was pulled up into the air by seven foot tall Erb.
'Sirius and James, why are you fighting him, aside from the mere fact that he
is a cheeky git and he is a Slytherin that deserves it?'
'Because he called Lily a mudblood and he touched her and threatened her!'
James exploded. Professor gasped.
'You' she said sternly, pointing at Snape, 'over here.'
She pulled him about five feet away, and was ranting and pointing. Fuming in fact.
'Dismissed.' She yelled, he bowed his head meekly and scuttled off to who
knows where.
'James, Sirius and Lily, you too Remus.' She said, gesturing them over to her.
'Now, even though house points were deducted from Slytherin and he has
detentions for the next two weeks, you also must be punished.' Sirius opened
his mouth, but Lily jabbed him in the ribs.
'I will give you and James detentions, one,' she said, looking at Sirius.
'And award you twenty house points each. It was a noble thing you did, but
even though I am rewarding you, I am not encouraging you. Any questions?'
she said calmly.
'Yes, I have one…why are you rewarding us?' asked Sirius, bamboozled.
'Because even though it wasn't directed at you, you took offence, you stood
up for your friend at your own personal risk. It was a kind act you did for
Lily, and it is nice to see you had a reason to hurt him, not for the fun of
it. Also because I don't tolerate bigotry and racism, it offends me and it's
good to see people as young as yourselves are offended by it too.' She explained.
'I am going to put the house points under Remus, Peter and Lily's names though,
because once word gets around about this, I'll be skinned if Professor McGonagall
finds out the real reason that I gave you house points today.' She smiled and
winked at them and then walked off.
'Wow, she is the coolest teacher!' said Sirius, opened mouthed in awe.
'Not for Slytherins.' Remus pointed out.
'I guess. What's a mudblood?' Lily asked.
'You don't know what a mudblood is?' Sirius gazed at her, incredulously.
'No, I know it has something to do with purity, but I'm not sure…' she said
coyly, slipping her hand into James and nudging him.
'Yeah, Snape called you a mudblood because your parents are muggle, one of my
parents is muggle, and she doesn't seem to care that my father is a wizard,
she was delighted by the fact even.' James said, looking at Lily.
'Oh, right' she said.
'But we don't think of you at all that way, you are a witch, you are a good
(y-two-shoes) witch, and you are no different to us except.' Sirius looked at
Remus, James groaned in laughter, he knew what was coming.
'For your little knowledge in Wizarding terms.' He finished. It wasn't funny,
but James knew it was coming, and what he thought Sirius would say was identical
to what he said.
'End of terms soon, Christmas!' said Remus changing the subject.
'Yeah!' said Lily, opening her eyes wide with mock eagerness. 'It's only,
what, six weeks away!'
'Yeah, but still…' said Remus, laughing with the rest.
'I know, I know.' Said Lily, flapping her free hand.
'What have we got planned for tonight, after our detention?' said Sirius,
winking at James.
'I don't know, what about we uh, go and let out one of the house elves? No we
have done that, uh, look for Peeves the Poltergeist perhaps? Or what about
one of the ghosts?' Sirius said, talking to himself.
'What about we set off dung bombs with my invisibility cloak that no ones
supposed to know I have?' suggested James.
'Yeah! I have a few good ones, or maybe we can just time them to go off, I
wonder how we'll do that though. I wonder if Peeves can see through invisibility
cloaks? Said Sirius, visibly cheering up.
'I shouldn't think so, it's the noise that's the problem. It don't mask the
sound of our footsteps, so we'll wear socks.'
'Okay.'
'Do you want any food from the kitchen Lily or Remus, we are going again tonight,
we found out how!' boasted Sirius.
'How?' asked Lily.
'Oh, I'm not telling you yet, maybe if you ask James enough, he might, he
always was a sucker.' Teased Sirius, not knowing how far from the truth he
was. Lily and James looked at each other, privately sniggering.
*
'You know, I think the ministry may be on to us…' drawled Voldemort.
'They may be. If Brun got to a hospital, a Wizard hospital, within the first
half and hour, he may have been in a fit enough state to talk.
'I doubt that…but still, if you had done the job well, he shouldn't be able
to talk.' Voldemort caged.
'I have, I assure you. If he didn't die, he will have scars and burns and
dreams for the rest of his life, mental you could say.' Said the torturer, Dolpur.
'Yes, Dolpur, you have never done the job, peacefully, so I should need not
doubt your integrity now.' Said Voldemort, looking now out the window.
Enjoying the view of trees and hills, observing owls and birds, the grey,
gloomy sky seemed to add to the atmosphere. There was something niggling at
Voldemort, something just catching his eye, something suspicious. He didn't
know what it was, but he didn't mind. Not letting it bother him, he went on talking.
'Tom Marvolo Riddle, what a name.' He said angrily.
'What is wrong with it?' Dolpur asked apprehensively.
'What isn't wrong with it?' he retorted back. 'It is the old me, the good
me. Me, once Head Boy at Hogwarts, once the person that everyone wanted to
be, to have or to be around. The envy of every person who came into my life.
Now I am the opposite of that, the one every person shall fear. Everyone will
learn to fear my name, no one will be free from me, and once I have them in my
sights, they will not live life for long. I will be the greatest dark wizard
in centuries. I aspire to.'
'And you will, you will achieve everything you dreamed of Lord.' Dolpur said.
'Will I be everything I wanted…Will I be more?' wondered Voldemort.
'Your rise to power began long ago Lord' said Dolpur, sucking up.
'Fetch the snake, would you?' said Voldemort, now out of wondering.
'As you wish,' he bowed himself out of the room, and went to fetch Voldemorts
taipan. He went into the nursery, where Voldemort had several exotic snakes,
and got Voldemorts favourite, a three-foot taipan snake, which had to be
apparated into the country. He returned, looking scared at the snake, and
gratefully handed it over to Voldemort.
'I really wish for a Basilisk, but I'm afraid I would die, every time I
summoned it.' Sighed Voldemort, a little pity in his eyes.
'Isn't that is what's in the Chamber of Secrets? At Hogwarts?' asked Dolpur.
'Yes, My how did you know about that?' asked Voldemort.
'I was there at the time, at Hogwarts, I heard that Tom Riddle, you, had
found out who had done opened it, but Lord, it was you all along!' he said.
Eyes widned with a mixture of amazement, pride, fear and joy.
'It killed my girlfriend, you did me a huge favour my Lord! She wanted me to
propose to her, I didn't want to marry her! Thank you Lord!' he explained
excited. Voldemort laughed, and then looked at the snake adoringly.
'I need its venom for a potion, would you kindly take it back to Babal for
it to be milked.' He instructed, turning his scarlet eyes toward Dolpur.
'Yes, Lord, anything Lord.' He said, taking the snake from Voldemort in a panic.
'Oh and Dolpur!' called Voldemort, as Dolpur exited the room.
'Yes lord?' he asked, skidding back into the all white room.
'Can you call Xenia Snape for me?' he said.
'Yes, Lord, what do you want me to ask?'
'Just tell her to come, with Frangipani Malfoy.' He notified.
'As you wish' he bowed out of the room, shuddering as the snake sidled down
his cloak sleeve.

'Where is Voldemort hiding now Brun?' Asked the minister of Magic, Jakob Wolffe.
'In a mansion, it is being sold by er, Bilkov and Brown Real Estate Agents,
or something like that, it'll have the address, but it is on a hill, and it

'He has been drugged, find the nurse who gave him the nightmare potion, and

'I have, I assure you. If he didn't die, he will have scars and burns and
dreams for the rest of his life, mental you could say.' Said the torturer, Dolpur.
'Yes, Dolpur, you have never done the job, peacefully, so I should need not
doubt your integrity now.' Said Voldemort, looking now out the window.
Enjoying the view of trees and hills, observing owls and birds, the grey,
gloomy sky seemed to add to the atmosphere. There was something niggling at
Voldemort, something just catching his eye, something suspicious. He didn't
know what it was, but he didn't mind. Not letting it bother him, he went on talking.
'Tom Marvolo Riddle, what a name.' He said angrily.
'What is wrong with it?' Dolpur asked apprehensively.
'What isn't wrong with it?' he retorted back. 'It is the old me, the good
me. Me, once Head Boy at Hogwarts, once the person that everyone wanted to
be, to have or to be around. The envy of every person who came into my life.
Now I am the opposite of that, the one every person shall fear. Everyone will
learn to fear my name, no one will be free from me, and once I have them in my
sights, they will not live life for long. I will be the greatest dark wizard
in centuries. I aspire to.'
'And you will, you will achieve everything you dreamed of Lord.' Dolpur said.
'Will I be everything I wanted…Will I be more?' wondered Voldemort.
'Your rise to power began long ago Lord' said Dolpur, sucking up.
'Fetch the snake, would you?' said Voldemort, now out of wondering.
'As you wish,' he bowed himself out of the room, and went to fetch Voldemorts
taipan. He went into the nursery, where Voldemort had several exotic snakes,
and got Voldemorts favourite, a three-foot taipan snake, which had to be
apparated into the country. He returned, looking scared at the snake, and
gratefully handed it over to Voldemort.
'I really wish for a Basilisk, but I'm afraid I would die, every time I
summoned it.' Sighed Voldemort, a little pity in his eyes.
'Isn't that is what's in the Chamber of Secrets? At Hogwarts?' asked Dolpur.
'Yes, My how did you know about that?' asked Voldemort.
'I was there at the time, at Hogwarts, I heard that Tom Riddle, you, had
found out who had done opened it, but Lord, it was you all along!' he said.
Eyes widned with a mixture of amazement, pride, fear and joy.
'It killed my girlfriend, you did me a huge favour my Lord! She wanted me to
propose to her, I didn't want to marry her! Thank you Lord!' he explained
excited. Voldemort laughed, and then looked at the snake adoringly.
'I need its venom for a potion, would you kindly take it back to Babal for
it to be milked.' He instructed, turning his scarlet eyes toward Dolpur.
'Yes, Lord, anything Lord.' He said, taking the snake from Voldemort in a panic.
'Oh and Dolpur!' called Voldemort, as Dolpur exited the room.
'Yes lord?' he asked, skidding back into the all white room.
'Can you call Xenia Snape for me?' he said.
'Yes, Lord, what do you want me to ask?'
'Just tell her to come, with Frangipani Malfoy.' He notified.
'As you wish' he bowed out of the room, shuddering as the snake sidled down
his cloak sleeve.
