In the Dark of Night An Evil Man's Story A song-fic by: HBFred

A/N This song-fic is to the song 'In the dark of the night' from the Anastasia CD. The words of the song are slightly altered to fit the plot.

In the dark of the night I was tossing and turning, and the nightmare I had was as bad as could be. It scared me out of my wits, a corpse falling to bits! Then I opened my eyes and the nightmare was me!!

Voldemort woke up. He was too tired to move, he was even too tired to open his eyes. He was trying to recall the events of the previous night. The Potters. He went to kill the Potters. He killed the man of the house, then took out his wife. Then he turned on the boy. He said the spell, but it ricocheted off the brat, and onto himself.

Voldemort forced his eyes open. He turned his head and his eyes fell on his own corpse. Everything went black once again.

I was once the mystical man in all Europe When the Potters betrayed me they made a mistake! My curse made each of them pay, but one little boy got away. Little Harry beware, Voldemort is awake!!!

10 years later. Voldemort groaned. The snake he was currently possessing had just died. Voldemort left the snake body to search for a stronger, healthier animal.

"If it wasn't for that damn Potter boy, I wouldn't be in this predicament." Voldemort scoffed. "I wish I had a body of my own. Or at least, a human one." Voldermort added this last part as he heard footsteps approaching. A man came by, named Quirrell.

(chorus) In the dark of the night evil will find him! In the dark of the night just before dawn! Revenge will be sweet, when the curse is complete! In the dark of the night He'll be gone!!!

I can feel that my powers are slowly returning. Tie my sash, and a dash of cologne for that smell. I saw the pieces fall into place, I'll see him crawl into place. It's redundant Harry your grace, farewell!

Voldemort smiled. The turban he was looking through, allowed him to see everything behind Quirrell, but nothing could see him. He was currently watching the being he most hated. "The Potters." Voldermort said to himself in a whisper. "Those betraying bastards. They were his best death eaters. The longest it ever took them to make a kill was five hours. The two greatest spies in the business, not even the great Dumbledore knew. They fell in love. So I broke the spell that didn't let them fall truly into love. My biggest mistake. They turned on me, had a child, and fled. Luckily, their little friend joined my ranks, which led to their little downfall. That little brat of theirs got away though." Voldemort shot a sneer at Harry. "Tonight we meet." He said to Quirrell.

"Yes master."

In the dark of the night terror will find him. Terror's the least I can do! In the dark of the night evil will rule! (both) Soon he will feel, that her night mares are real. In the dark of the night he'll be thrown!

In the dark of the night evil will find her. (deep voice) Find her. In the dark of the night terror comes to, Doom her! Dear here's a sign, Its the end of the line In the dark of the night. In the dark of the night.

Quirrell stepped off the grounds, and disappeared.

Come my minions rise for your master!

Quirrell touched his finger to his scar as Voldemort muttered the spell.

Let your evil shine. In the dark of the night. In the dark of the night.

Death eaters started appearing around Quirrell.

"Tonight," Voldemort said as the last of the death eaters, "the plan goes into action. You will wait outside the school-grounds, when your scars begin to burn, attack the schools! Let's go number ninety-three." Quirrell disapparated.

Find him now, and fly ever faster. In the dark of the night. In the dark of the night. In the dark of the night. He'll be mine.

Quirrell jumped down the trap door.
