Chapter 33: Angel Goes Undercover
Angel's first stop was the library, according to Dawn and Hermione that was were Zoe spent much of her time these days. Angel found Zoe sitting by herself infront of what looked like bits of parchment. He went over and sat down next to her.
" Can I help you Angel?" Zoe asked, looking up. She noticed a couple of students run once they saw Angel. " What's going on? You'd think Hogwarts wasn't safe or something."
" Hogwarts isn't safe and I'm not Angel." Angel said looking Zoe in the eyes.
" You're creeping me out if you're not Angel, Angel then who are you?" Zoe started to breath a little quicker.
" Who do you think I am? There are only two people that are able to live in this body! I'd have the right mind to bite you, if I didn't think you knew something that would be important to me." Angel said he always hated pretending to be Angelus.
" Y-you can't be Angelus, there's no way for Angel to lose his soul in this school! What information do I have that you could you if you were?" Zoe was starting to get freaked out.
" Well one of Voldemort's followers had a little visit at breakfast I think it was called a Dementor anyways Angel lost his soul and him here, So where would Voldemort be little one before I really start getting testy." Angel stood up and made his way to the other side of the table.
" I have no idea what you are talking about Angelus." Zoe said as calmly as she could.
" Funny because I can smell blood and cuts Mrs. Williams, and it seems to me that your left arm has experienced both recently." Angel rolled Zoe's sleeve up to reveal the Dark Mark tatooed into her arm. " Ah, I believe that mark there is from the guy I'm looking for. Now would you be so kind to escort me or am I going to have to force you." Angel was upset about seeing the mark but he had to make her believe he was really Angelus.
" Fine, come with me." Zoe lead him to a part of Hogwarts he'd never seen before. Out a secret passage until he was sure they were well away from Hogwarts and in some part of the city that was deserted. When they finally came out of the passage, the stood in a hall way to someone's house.
Zoe knocked on the door infront of them. " Wormtail it's me, It's Zoe. Let me in I have someone who wants to join us." Wormtail opened the door and lead Zoe and Angel to Lord Voldemort.
" So, the vampire with the soul wants to join the rank of Lord Voldemort, how am I to know that you won't be spying on me?" Voldemort turned to face Angel and Zoe and sat down in a chair in front of them.
"Why would I want to help humans, when they taste so good? Oh and you must be talking about Angel. He's gone I'm Angelus. I don't have a soul, one of your dementors made a nice little trip to Hogwarts today and took his away." Angel looked Voldemort in the eye.
" Fine, still what would a vampire want with me." Voldemort looked from Zoe to Angel.
" Well you took that kid to get Harry Potter, what if I told you that I could get Harry Potter for you? He's best friends with Angel's son Connor and he has no idea that Angel's soul is gone, none of the students do." Angel kept looking at Voldemort in the eye.
" I have one question, how is it that I can't break into your mind? I can tell your not lying though because Zoe has told me everything, haven't you." Voldemort looked at Zoe.
" It's kind of like a mirror the thought's are there but they don't reflect an image. It should come in very useful to you." Angel said, he hoped that Voldemort would believe him. " So where are you keeping the boy? I've been very hungry, I just want a taste that's all. He'll still be alive don't worry about it."
" Well from what Zoe tells me you haven't eaten in quite some time. A couple of years in fact, and it would scare the boy and Dumbledore when I warn him that if he doesn't hand over Potter soon that his student will be drained of all his life, I think he still believes that it's Zoe here whose been kidnapped quite the contrary some it's a boy whose parent's are currently residing the St. Mungos phsychiartic ward. Wormtail please show Angelus here where the student is. Zoe you may return to school, we don't want people getting suspicous." Voldemort then went back to the table and started to read some parchment.
" Wormtail, interesting name. What did your parent's figure that's the best they could do?" Pretending to be Angelus was getting to him.
" No, it's a nickname I'm an angimagi it means I can turn into an animal." Wormtail turned another corner.
" Really, what type of animal?" Angel had never heard of angimagi's.
" A rat, it's a good way to sneak around with out being caught." Wormtail opened the door to a room. " He's in there."
" Thanks." Angel said walking in. " I don't like eating in front of people so do you mind?" Wormtail left and made his way back to Voldemort.
" Y-y-you aren't g-g-oing to hurt me are you?" The boy squeaked.
" What's your name?" Angel asked.
" N-Neville Longbottom, I already know who you are you're Angel, but you must not be very good if you're working for him." Neville said going pale. " Your not going to eat me are you?"
" Look I don't have much time to explain. So listen up, I'm going to get you out of here. Here put this on Harry let me borrow it it's an invisibility cloak, once you put it on stay very close to me and far away from other people. Do you know any transfigurations something that we use to change something in this room to look like you?"
" Yeah, we just learned stuff like that. What should I change?"
" Anything and hurry we don't have much time." Neville changed a chair into what looked like a stunned him, and then went under the cloak. Angel put some of his son's blood around his mouth and such to make it look like he had bit Neville. " Remember what I said stay close to me and far far away from everyone else." Angel then opened the door and waited for Neville to leave and then shut it.
" That was quick." Voldemort said looking quite pleased.
" I've had years of practice. Anyways I better get back to the school before people start noticing that I'm missing, not many people know about what's happened and I can be a great source of information because of it. You don't need to put a Dark Mark on me to consider me loyal, I'll know when you need me and when you won't don't worry about it." Voldemort looked pleased with that answer and lead Angel to the passage way.
" Any news, anything at all I want you to report back to me." Voldemort said while waiting for Angel to go into the passage way. Angel waited for Neville to go first and then went in himself.
" I'll do that. If something comes up and I'm in trouble I'll send Zoe, don't worry." Angel then saw that Voldemort had closed the passage way and took hold of Neville's shoulder under the invisibility cloak and steered him the right way. Once back inside the castle he got under the cloak with Neville and made his way up to Dumbledore's office he knew that Zoe would be keeping an eye on him for Voldemort.
