Voldemort was walking back and forth in the Riddle Manor... seething. The person he was counting on to keep themselves a secret has now alerted Potter that there's a future Death Eater in their midst! 'Cursed Children!' Voldemort thought bitterly to himself. He knew all hope wasn't gone yet, but his servant needed to be a little more careful.
Then Voldemort heard his servant coming up the stairs.
"Master..." the person bowed.
"You really should be more Careful," Voldemort said slowly.
"Yes Master. I beg for mercy, I didn't mean to scare him off like that he was supposed to-"
"CRUCIO!" Voldemort bellowed. After about a minute he lifted the curse. "I DO NOT want to hear you pitiful pleas for mercy. I show no mercy!"
"Y-yes Master," the panting servant gasped.
"Get out of my sight." Voldemort said calmly as if he were ordering a Happy Meal.
"Yes Master," the sniffling servant said and left quickly without another word.
Voldemort listened to the person leave yet again and beckoned for Lucius.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Where the hell are they?!" Harry yelled.
"I don't know but one of them is the attacker!" Colin screamed. Harry began to pace up and down the room, running his hand through his untidy hair. Draco came up behind Harry and put his hand on his shoulder to show some support.
"We'll find the attacker Harry, don't worry," Draco said.
"Draco, do you think Blaise can help us?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lucius spent the rest of his night avoiding his wife and trying to figure out how to keep 'The Voice' away. Then he felt his mark burn. 'Fuck! Not now!' he thought to himself. 'Oh well,' he thought again, and with a pop he was gone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once again Voldemort heard the footsteps of one of his followers, this time Lucius.
"Lucius," Voldemort said when Lucius entered the room. "Don't go through all that... not today." Voldemort stopped Lucius from doing the whole, 'crawl to me, kiss my robes, crawl away from me, stand up and keep your head bowed because you are beneath me' process. Lucius was STUNNED! Voldemort always put the Cruciatus on ANYone who dared to not do that process.
"You would like to know why I called you here, I presume," Voldemort said.
"Yes Master."
"Let's not do any of that, Luce. We're best friends are we not?" Lucius nodded. "Hmm, do you remember me telling you that I have a past that I would like keep hidden until I needed to reveal it?"
"Yes."
"Well I'm just letting you know before hand, I might have to reveal it soon."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Luna Lovegood was walking to the Ravenclaw entrance, humming a tune she heard from somewhere. She was all alone in the hallways... or at least that's what she thought. She was suddenly engulfed with a vision of herself being stabbed from behind and being brought to Voldemort!
"Looney," a voice sang from behind her. She turned sharply to face her attacker, but when she turned no one was there and then she felt a sharp pain in her back and then she fainted.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Blaise was sitting in his dorm room with Pansy looking at a book and jumping at any and every sound they heard.
"Blaise?" Pansy asked.
"Hmm?"
"Are you scared that he might try and kidnap you again?"
"Yeah," Blaise said looking up from the book, "Of course I'm scared."
"What was Seamus here for last night?" Pansy asked curiously.
"Oh... nothing much... this time."
"This time?"
"It wasn't the usual. He just wanted to know if I was okay and He wanted to know who the other 'Sensers' were so that he could help protect them."
"Oh."
Pansy was about to speak again when she was cut off by the door opening and Draco, Harry, Dean, and Colin rushing in.
"Blaise!"
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"Seamus, Ron, and Neville aren't in bed and someone attacked Colin!" Harry said.
"Can you see if you can locate them?" Draco asked.
Blaise nodded and closed his eyes, concentrating on locating Seamus... Nothing, but he found Neville and Justin Finch-Fletchy, he also found a very pissed of Ron yelling at Hermione and someone else who's face stayed in the shadows.
"Well...," Harry asked impatiently.
"Well, I've found everyone except Seamus...." Blaise said.
"What do you mean????" Draco asked.
"He never told you?" Blaise asked.
"Told me what?"
"That he was a 'Blocker'"?
"A what?" Harry asked.
"He can block his true intentions and give off others...." Dean said slowly.
"Wait...," Pansy cut in, "If he's a blocker... he can't be trusted and if he can't be trusted then...." Blaise's eyes widened.
"The others!"
"What?"
"I told him who the other's were! How could I have been so stupid?!"
"We have to get to the others!" Harry yelled.
"Uhh.. Dean?" Colin said.
"Huh?"
"Umm.. your pocket... it's glowing..." Dean looked down and sure enough his pocket was glowing. He reached into his pocket and pulled out an old piece of parchment that was glowing a vivid blue.
"What's that?" Colin asked.
"It's the Marauder's map!" Harry said, and walked over quickly to look at it. What he saw he wished he hadn't.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Voldemort looked at the little blonde Ravenclaw on his floor... Dead. He was pissed to say the least. Lucius looked at the young boy who brought her to his Lord. He knew the boy meant well, but what was Voldemort going to do with a Dead fucking girl?!
He had already put the young boy under the Cruciatus Curse over 16 times and yelled immensely. He just couldn't rely on those Gryffindor brats! He knew this boy was just like Peter Pettigrew, only he wasn't a rat, he actually had a backbone. The boy asked to be put into Gryffindor, even though he rightfully belonged in Slytherin, just to serve the Dark Lord.
"GET THE FUCK UP!" Voldemort yelled. The boy (A/n: You all probably know who the boy is by now. But who cares, I don't feel like saying his name at this point, maybe later.) tried his best to get up, but he could barely stop shaking to even know which way was up.
Voldemort was about to kick the young boy when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned around to look at Lucius.
"WHAT?!" he yelled.
"Leave him for a moment..." Lucius said in a soft voice that Voldemort hadn't heard from Lucius since their younger days, that made his cock twitch but he ignored it. He stunned the boy on the ground and put a body bind on him, then turned to follow Lucius into another room.
"What Lucius?" Voldemort said.
"Umm..." Lucius stammered, he wasn't so sure of himself now.
"WHAT?!!!" Voldemort yelled so suddenly that Lucius jumped back.
"Earlier you said something about your past. I.. I was wondering if you would tell me more about it..."
"CRUCIO!"
'Damnit, I should've kept my damn mouth shut!' Lucius thought furiously to himself as he began to scream and writhe hopelessly on the floor.
~~~
After Lucius was released from the curse Voldemort helped him up and said to him, "I'll tell you if I have to. Just know that if I tell you, be ready to go to the United States." Lucius was confused, but he DIDN'T DARE ask.
~~~
"Lucius?"
"Yes Mas-Tom?"
"I want you to go to Severus and make a youthing potion for all of us."
"Okay, when?"
"NOW!" Lucius, once again jumped and apparated away as fast as he could.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Severus Snape was in his chambers standing over a steaming cauldron. He heard the feather light footsteps coming up behind him. Only one person could walk that light, so he didn't even bother to look around.
"Yes Lucius?" Snape said, but he didn't get an answer. "Lucius, I know it's you."
"So. Can't let me have a little fun can you?" Lucius said coming within Snape's vision.
"Nope," Severus smirked. Lucius playfully flipped Snape off. "Now, now Lucius, you know we can't do that anymore... What would poor Narcie say?" Snape mocked as he covered his mouth in false surprise.
"Shut up," Lucius said smacking Severus on the shoulder. "The Dark Lord wants you to make a youthing potion for him or all of the Death Eaters."
"Just me? Or me and you?" Severus inquired, looking Lucius in the eye. Lucius broke the connection and flicked Snape on the nose with his wand.
"Damnit you! Don't use that Legilmens shit on me! He wants me and you to make it." Severus was happy to see that he could still make the older Malfoy very disgruntled with the fact that he was much better at Occlumency than he was.
"Oh stop pouting Lucius, it's not very becoming on you." Snape teased.
"I am not pouting," Lucius said sticking his nose in the air, "Malfoy's don't pout... we curse the living shit out of people!" Lucius and Snape fell into a bout of laughter. The two were pretty good friends. They were always together with Tom, cursing people who dared to mess with one of their friends and practicing the Dark Arts on mudbloods that had their backs turned.
"Well lets get started." Snape said, and he and Lucius began to prepare the youthing potion.
After about an hour Snape and Lucius were sitting in front of Snape's fireplace, when Lucius broke the silence.
"Are you still working for the Order?" Snape stiffened.
"Why are you asking me this?" Snape said standing up and walking over to the cauldron. The matter of the Order was a very touchy subject for him.
"Look, you know I'm not going to tell Tom that your spying on him. I've known for years. I just want to know if your still doing it because.... maybe we can turn Tom back over to the light side... you know the side he was on before that year..."
"Highly unlikely, but it's worth a try," Snape cut in, "Oh, I meant to ask you, why are we making this potion?"
"Don't know, but he did say something about the United States."
"The United States?" Snape looked at Lucius, "What's over there?"
"People."
"No shit!" Severus and Lucius began to laugh again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Mmmm.... good morning love."
"Good morning."
"I don't believe we actually slept here."
"Me either... we should try and get back to our dorms."
"Yea your right. Kiss?"
"Mmm.. of course."
When the couple were about to walk out of the room, the door burst open... and they were faced with a very angry Ronald Weasley.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What do you see?" Draco inquired.
"Luna...." Harry said looking and sounding dazed, "She's dead..." Everyone in the room gasped at this revelation.
"But it can't be!" Colin said starting to cry. The room was totally silent with the exception of a few sniffles here and there.
"Harry?" Draco said putting his hand on Harry's shoulder. Harry turned to face him.
"Huh?" he said wiping a tear from the corner of his eye.
"It'll be alright..."
"You don't know that Draco!" Harry yelled, making Draco feel bad, "Everything is NOT alright! Luna Lovegood, is dead! She's fucking dead so how is everything going to be alright?! Her parents won't be thinking that when they find out!"
"I'm sorry...," Draco said in a small voice. Harry didn't reply, he felt bad about his sudden outburst. But it was truth, her parents weren't going to shrug it off that easily. They were going to mourn before they 'forget', but they will NEVER forget that their daughter was killed... In Hogwarts for crying out loud! The safest fucking place in the wizarding world!
"Draco are there any others in Hufflepuff?" Draco looked up sharply.
"H-how do you know that?"
"I don't know... but are there? I don't want another Luna situation."
"Susan, Susan Bones."
"Okay... and Voldemort can only use those that a pure right? As in never had sex?" Draco nodded, Harry looked thoughtful and then rushed out of the room with map still clutched in his hand.
'I wonder what he's going to do?' Draco thought to himself. Blaise looked at Draco with a sad look in his eyes. He knew what Harry was going to do.... but he just couldn't bring himself to tell Draco, neither could anyone else in the room.
