Suddenly her eyes snapped open, or so she thought. She stood up and looked
around the room. But she wasn't in her body, she was staring at it. The
same body in the same room with the same people, but now there was
something happening. The fire burst up in a huge flame and died down again.
Shanna gave a small scream but it looked as though they couldn't hear her.
Still, just in case, she stayed back only close enough to see what was
happening.
Her unconscious body was still there bound to the chair. Both men were still there but now the 'leader' of the two was standing and staring into the fire. The next thing she knew there were more than 3 faces in the room. Now, there were four. The forth being in the fire.
It was the face of an old and worn man with a long beard. But his face wasn't one of a kind neighbor, his eyes were narrowed to watch the leader and his face was rigid. He looked as though he could leap out and kill them at any second. Then, the face began to speak in a calm but angry voice.
"Voldemort, why are you doing this?" he asked
"Dumbledore, old pal, you know exactly why I'm doing this. Either you give up all your power to me, or I take it from the girl.all of it. I will take complete power over her, and take power from her. You know how horrible her life has been already, why not end it? I'm sure she wouldn't mind" Voldemort started
"You do not deserve such a power!" Dumbledore boomed "and that girl doesn't even know of the power! She forgot about it long ago when she was taken in by those muggles. You know she has no chance to fight, even with the protective cross around her neck."
"Ah. So that's what the cross is for, and that's why it burns all but her. And why do you think I took her before she could figure it out? If she knew about her own power she wouldn't have been so easy to capture."
"I can't believe you'd sink so low. But I have one question. How? How did you find her? I purposely kept her out of my school, just so she wouldn't be taken by a person like yourself"
Voldemort laughed, "It's not hard to fine a person like her. Her voice can be heard around the world. Her artistry will tell untold words. But above all of all the things, her power will be able to cure everything, except her own wounds." He said it as if it had come from a book that everyone had read. "Even if she's never shown her drawings or revealed her voice, she's told about it.. To friends who had no clue that they were being watched."
"So, Voldemort. let me get this strait, you've been searching for a girl that even your own son couldn't control when she wasn't even at full power.. And now, even though she doesn't know it, she's getting even stronger, and you think you can control her?" "My son was a fool!" Voldemort boomed "and don't judge me by my son! He knew that he wouldn't be able to control her without me, but he was foolish enough to try and do better than me." Voldemort stopped at the thought of his son's foolish attempts to do better than his father.
"But how do you expect to control her? Her powers building faster than you can drain it out of her."
"Ah. That's where you come in. you give me the one thing I need, and all your muggle buddies, this girl, and her little friend will live."
"And that thing would be my wand. the core of my wand. Am I right?"
"Yes, yes you are. The core of your wand and a drop of you blood coming strait from your neck will give me the power to make my potion. And that potion will give me the power to take the girls power."
"How about you let me think about this.." Dumbledore said gravely. His face seemed to go gray before he disappeared into the flames.
Then, the next thing Shanna knew, her site blurred and everything was, once again, black.
