The Foreboding Weapon
A tall blonde man garmented in silk black robes with green trim approached the door of the Riddle house and timidly knocked. A deep voice from the corner of the room called out, "State your name." The man replied, "I have the knowledge of the weapon, sir." The door sprung open into a misty dark room. The young toe-head entered hesitantly.
The icy but very forceful and handsome voice in the corner called out again, "What did you find Lucius! State you discoveries immediately!" A chill ran down Lucius' spine. Even though Lucius had worked for the Dark Lord for quite some time, Voldermort's mere presence even now made feelings of tense panic run throughout ever muscle in his body.
Lucius began, "Dark Lord, I followed your instructions to the best of my ability. I slipped into the castle two nights ago well after midnight. I then proceeded to perform the exact spell you told me to and a green arrow appeared before me. I followed the arrow up to the Gryffindor common room, then to the boy's dormitory. It turned red at the entrance to one of the boys' dorms."
The Dark Lord's fierce voice was rising in strength and boomed throughout the Riddle house, "A boy's dorm is the secret weapon? That mad centaur clearly stated that 'Hogwarts has a secret weapon that will one day become extremely powerful and the fruits of this weapon will one day bring about my downfall.' Do you mean to say that this weapon is a few school boys? Well what spell did you perform? Maybe the spell was the cause of error."
Lucius tried to make out the figure that was hidden in the shadows. Hearing just his voice was very unnerving and he began to feel like it was judgment day. Lucius replied, "Dear Almighty Lord, I thought the same thing. I preformed the spell 'Potentia Monstario', but I suspected that I might have failed. I went to the library and looked up the spell in three different books and realized that I did have it right. I repeated it twice more and it always pointed to the boys' room."
The Dark Lord's voice was back to its normal bone-chilling tone. He looked up from the shadows allowing only half of his face to show in the light. He was a dashing man with chiseled features, but his eyes gave the impression that they could see straight into the depths of your soul. He started to speak again, "Look into the identities of these boys. I want to know exactly who they are. Oh, and search their dormitory. Maybe Dumbledore thinks he is pulling a fast one and hid the real weapon in there."
Lucius replied, "Your Lordship, I did both of those tasks already. There are four boys who live in that room: James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Petigrew. James Potter is the jock of the school, and the trophy room is stocked full of engravings of his accomplishments. Sirius Black comes from that faithful Black family, but he seems to be quite rebellious in nature. Peter appears to be the outcast of the group, and the others easily persuade him. I wasn't able to gather too much information on Remus, but I honestly don't believe he is a threat. I searched the room but found nothing of remote interest."
"Are you trying to tell me that the other side's most powerful weapon is four school boys? Voldermort replied letting out a very bloodcurdling wicked chuckle! This war might be much easier than I thought. Eliminate them, Lucius."
Lucius replies, "Excuse me sir, I do not mean to question your authority, but I think killing them might be too suspicious. We aren't strong enough to fight Dumbledore and his lot right now, and that rash act might trigger a war. Given some time, I think that there are ways that we can try to stop the 'Marauders (which is the name they call themselves).' What if we marked a seventh year in Slytherin. he could serve as our go- between, and he could work to discreetly impair the boys. This way they will never reach their true potential of power. Dear Lord you could also send them dreams and play with their minds eventually altering their futures. They are just boys and you are the world's most powerful wizard. I suggest simply using wit to destroy them."
Voldermort responses "Let it be as you have described Malfoy. I am putting you in charge of finding a loyal seventh year, and brainwash him if necessary. I won't kill them. I will soak their power from the inside out. You have proved to be a wonderful assistant Lucius, now do as you are told! You know the consequences. If I hear any news of these boys' increasing greatness or strength, I will finish you! Be gone Lucius."
A/N: *victory dance* I got a couple reviews... this is life altering!! Keep them flowing mates! They make me happy! Chapter three will be out soon!!
