Chapter Five
He
couldn't find the potter boy anywhere. After he blasted the boards out of the way, he found himself looking
into a room. In front of him stood a
family that he presumed were the Dursley's. The older male was rather large and looked as if he didn't have a neck
at all. The female was skinny and a
little tall, and looked as though she had twice the amount of neck. The boy, at least he thought it was a boy,
was big fat and ugly, to put it short. Deciding that he had been in the fireplace long enough, Voldemort calmly
stepped out into the room. He glanced
around the room, paying special attention to the corners in case that Potter
boy had set a trap for him. As if it
would work, but better safe then sorry.
When
he was satisfied that there was nothing in the room to endanger him, Voldemort
proceeded to politely introduce himself and Wormtail. "Good evening Mr. Dursley, I am Tom Riddle and this is my
assistant Peter Pettigrew," he hated the name Tom Riddle, it was such a muggle
name, but he had decided to use it so that he could get the muggles that he was
visiting to trust him. He doubted that
they would like to have a companion by the name of Voldemort. While introducing Wormtail, Voldemort
realized that the idiot hadn't gotten out of the fireplace yet, and that he was
all covered in soot.
Where
is that Potter boy, Voldemort thought as he looked around the room once
more, he should be here by now. I am
his most hateful enemy. Where is he?
"Good
evening Mr. Riddle, and to you Mr. Pettigrew, so glad that you could come. I would like you to meet my wife, Petunia
and my son, Dudley"
"Pleasure
to meet you," it was best to get on their good side before he killed their
nephew. He didn't know how they were
going to act. Speaking of the Potter
boy, where in the world was he? He
couldn't hear any sound in the house that indicated that he was near, and yet
he didn't seem to be in this room, unless…
"Where
is the boy, Harry?" he asked, afraid at what the answer might be.

Harry
was confused. Surely Voldemort could
see him, he had checked all the corners in the room, and the corner that he was
hiding in wasn't very dark. He could
tell that Vernon and Petunia were also puzzled by the fact that Mr. Riddle
couldn't see Harry. Dudley, afraid that
something magical was about to happen, had hid himself behind the couch,
clutching his overly large behind and was moaning. A few years ago, Dudley had a pig's tail growing out of his
behind because of a bad encounter with some magic.
"Why
Mr. Riddle, can't you see Harry? I
mean, he is right here in the room." Petunia
had spoken up; she didn't want to agitate her guest. She glanced in Harry's direction; giving him a meaningful glance
that clearly said Harry, greet our guest… POLITELY!!!
"Um…
Hi, Volde-Mr.Riddle," big idiot that looks like a snake, "Glad you could
come," now get out of here before I strangle you, or attempt to. After greeting Voldemort, both in his
thoughts and through spoken words, Harry turned his attention back to his foe
to see his reaction to this introduction; he wanted to be prepared for whatever
came next.
Surprisingly,
Voldemort didn't appear to have heard Harry. Instead he seemed to be pondering something. What, Harry didn't know. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Voldemort finally asked,
"So, Harry is in this room is he?" This
caused Vernon to glance at Harry, and start to go purple in the face, and
Petunia to faint in surprise. "Excuse
me Mr. Dursley, but could you do me a favor and pick Harry up and bring him
right in front of me?" Vernon clearly
did NOT want to do this, but of course this was a very important
guest that he was entertaining. He
walked over to Harry, picked him up, and carried him over to Voldemort. Right before he got to him, Voldemort
whipped out his wand pointed it at what he believed was Harry and shouted an
incantation. "AVADA KEDAVRA,"
and with that Vernon Dursley dropped dead.

Thanks for reading!! Sorry for the short chapter, but I don't want Voldemort's viewpoint to be there twice in one chapter. I kinda have a pattern going on here J The next chapter will hopefully be longer! ~sportbabe~
