Chapter 10: Voldemort's Lair

"Ma...Master?" a shaky voice spoke out.
"Spit it out, Wormtail," said a cold, icy voice.
"Miss Hermione Granger is still alive. I believe she faked her own kid...kidnapping, Master," Wormtail said shakily.
"How do you know this? If you are lying-"
"No, no Master, I...I saw her. She said who she was and her new name."
"She changed her name to what?"
"Kelly, Kelly Richmond. Known as a Muggle supermodel."
"Very good. You are not lying. Tell me, Wormtail, did you know I was testing you yet again?"
"No, Master."
"Of course you didn't. I read your mind earlier, and I have just read your mind now. I suppose you now know your life has been spared yet again. Good job, Wormtail."
"Umm, Ma...Master?"
"What is it."
"I do believe now she will be working at Hogwarts, where Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy-"
"Silence, you will never speak of that traitor! Is that understood?"
"Yes, master. But-"
"But what?"
"Why do you need her?"
"Wormtail..."
"Yes?"
"Go to Azkaban, break out my loyal followers. I will send them a warning to tell them that I live still. Go now. You have until midnight."
"Yes, Master," Wormtail said as he turned back into a rat and scurried away.
"Tonight," Vodemort laughed, "my followers will know that Harry Potter never killed me. And he will never kill me as long as Miss Hermione Grangers lives."
Ginny was in her bedroom, folding her children's clothes, when she felt a burn on her forearm.
"Oh, my lord!" Ginny shrieked.
"Mommy, what is it?" James said as he came running into his mother's bedroom.
"Nothing, James, I just forgot something. So I'm going to take you, Lily and Hermione to Uncle Ron's house, or Grandma's, okay? Let's get you're things," Ginny said. "Well, what are you waiting for? Get your sisters and get into the car. I'll be right there."
As soon as James left, Ginny mumbled something under her voice and a duffle bag appeared. She grabbed it, got the keys, and left the house. Then in 10 minutes, she dropped her children at Ron's house and told him to tell Harry that she went out and will be back later. With that, Ginny drove her car away.
By the time it had reached midnight, over 100 followers were in Lord Voldemort's lair, wondering why they were summoned there.
"Um, excuse me," a small man whispered.
"It's Wormtail! Hip-hip-hurray!" somebody cheered "He got us out of Azkaban again!"
"Shut up, everyone," said a cold voice. With that, the tall figure rose from the back of the room and walked forward to the front. And as he walked, everybody bowed down to him.
"I suppose you're all shocked to see me alive right at this very moment," Lord Voldemort spoke. Mumbles went across the room. "I will first like to say I am so pleased that you are all still loyal to me, and it does me great honor to tell you how I live and how I can never die. But first, I need to talk to Miss Weasley. Come up at once."
From the crowd, a small figure walked up to the front of the room and bowed. "My Lord, I have lived for your return."
"I have learned from Wormtail that you are married. Is that true?"
"Yes, yes it is, My Lord."
"When did you marry?"
"Shortly after I learned I was pregnant with my first. After you have so called died, My Lord."
"Everybody, I would like to show you my most loyal follower, Ginny Potter." He swung her hood and took of her mask. Mumbles and groans went across the room. And then a hand shot up in the room.
"What do you want, Umbridge?"
"Um, well you see, how is she the most loyal servant to you, My Lord? I mean, she married your enemy!"
"Very good conclusion, but stupid, if you ask me. Crucio!"
"My most loyal servant Ginny, tell these foolish people why you married Potter."
"To gain his trust, learn his weaknesses, and because I knew our Lord would rise above us and my Harry Potter. I never loved him, but I had to earn his trust."
"Very good," Voldemort said. "Now we have a mole with Mr. Potter wherever he goes. Bravo. You may step down and cover you face. Now, why am I still alive, to all those new and old? Basically to anyone, I have a daughter who shares my blood. My blood is so pure, that in order for me to completely die, my daughter must die as well. And 12 years ago, I learned who she was, and then shortly after, she was kidnapped. Only Wormtail told me news last night that my daughter was never kidnapped. She ran away and changed her name."
"Who is she, Master?" somebody spoke out.
"Miss Hermione Granger, or now known as Kelly Richmond."
