Chapter 40 **The Dark Lord's Plan**

In a dark dungeon somewhere Voldemort sat on the snake engraved throne, his red eyes focused on the Death Eaters before him.

"All of your children say Potter is Severus' son?"

The Death Eaters nodded and Voldemort gave a soft sigh.

"Well, then.  We must see if this is true.  Lucius!"  One of the Death Eaters snapped to attention, his gray eyes visible behind his mask.

"Yes, lord?"

"Bring your son to me.  I have a job for him to do."  He looked at two other Death Eaters.  "Crabbe, bring me a vial of Polyjuice Potion.  Nott, find one of Severus' hairs."

Crabbe ran off while Nott looked bewildered.

"A hair, lord?"

"Yes, a hair.  Get it now or you will suffer the same fate as Severus if I find he has lied to me."

Nott, trembling from head to toe, bowed then fled from the room.  The remaining Death Eaters watched Voldemort smile evilly.  He said, "The rest of you, go to Hogsmeade.  If all goes well, we will have Harry Potter before anyone suspects something is wrong.  And then, it will be too late."  Voldemort laughed, his voice echoing through the dungeons.

A/N: Short, yes, but that's the gist of Voldie's plan.  Can anyone figure out what it might be?  If you can, you get 100 Galleons!
