Chapter 58Today was the day of cheer and happiness. Yet there were some people in the world that despised Christmas, and hated the people who were happy for it. Voldemort was one of these people.
He hated Christmas, he always had, but that was not all that was bothering him. There was a spy among his Death Eaters. Somehow word had got back to Dumbledore that Harry Potter had joined him.
This left a problem, the plan that was created the night before required the shock of seeing the-boy-who-lived by his side. Dumbledore would be upset and off-guard, but now that was ruined. And only three people knew about that plan.
Himself.
Lucius.
And one of his old friends; Mundungus Fletcher.
"Jugson!" he snapped, walking into the pleasure room, where Philip Jugson apparently lived.
The man ran over immediately and bowed to the ground. "How may I serve you my lord?"
He asked, still kneeling.
"Give me your arm Jugson." Voldemort snapped. Jugson obeyed without question, and managed not to scream when the mark burned.
The next floor up Lucius felt the strong burn and ran down to his master's side. Cercis and Severus also felt the burn, but it was only a mere tickle.
"It's not for us." Severus said to his son, they were playing chess, and Cercis, as usual was losing.
"I know." He glanced at his watch. "The others will be here in 10 minutes."
Back downstairs the main door flew open and the other Death Eater ran in, bowing to his master when he reached him.
"Jugson leave us, you two follow me." Voldemort hissed before turning and making his way back into the Malfoy's main room.
As soon as they were both inside, Voldemort locked and warded the doors and windows. No one was getting in or out without his permission. The Death Eaters were bowing again.
"Stand." He hissed. They obeyed. "Tell me has either of you read the paper this morning? No good, neither have I, but I did receive some interesting information last night via another means."
The two continued to stand silently. Only if one could hear the beatings off their hearts would they know that they were worried.
"My plans to kill Dumbledore once and for all has been foiled! Again! Do you want to know how?" Neither moved, it had been a while since their master had been in such a foul mood and the last time Cercis, his favourite, had ended up in hospital barley alive for 3 weeks.
"Three people knew about that plan!" he spat. "Three! And those people are the only ones that are in this room! Meaning it was one of you two that told him."
Neither Death Eater answered. Losing his temper, Voldemort drew his wand and screamed his all time favourite curse. "CRUCIO!!" the spell was powerful enough to encase them both and cause twice as much pain as normal.
Their screams filled the manor and Cercis looked up. "I Wonder what's gotten up his ass this morning?" He said to himself.
"He doesn't like Christmas." Severus answered before beating Cercis at chess, again.
Cercis shrugged. "I'm gonna go say hi."
Severus would have normally answered with something along the lines off 'Are you bloody mad?' but he knew he son was so it didn't really work. Instead he just shrugged his shoulders, leant back in the chair and said calmly, "Your funeral." Cercis grinned and replied.
"Not if I can help it!" before vanishing from the room.
"Hey what's up?" he asked calmly, after appearing behind Voldemort, and then quickly throwing up a shield charm as a curse flew towards him. Cercis held up his hands.
"Woah, calm down boss, just came to see what all the screaming was about."
He grinned at the annoyed expression on his 'master's face. He glanced at the two Death Eaters, who were still on the floor – most likely unconscious, before moving towards Voldemort slowly. Setting the seeds for Remus later Cercis leaned in and hissed into his ear.
"You need relaxing, I'll tell you what, come to room 13 at 6 pm tonight and we can roll play." He flicked his tongue out and sucked on the most feared wizard of the age's earlobe before vanishing with a silent pop back to the room where he was to meet the others.
They were already there waiting.
"Good morning everyone!" He said happily. "Remus, room 13, 6 pm. Take the potion at 5.50 pm, as soon as you can bite him. We'll do the joining spell at 5 pm to give you a chance to get used to it."
He turned to the others, "Narcissa luv, would you be an angel for me and fire contact Ginny, she's still at Hogwarts, tell her to floo to Grimmauld place in less then 1 hour, she can floo out of the school if she says 'Adamas' before the destination. I'll meet her there. Father, I want you to go and get the Polyjuice potion and bring it here. Draco, Blaise, once Ginny returns I will cast a glamour on her and you two can give her a tour. Remus you'll have to stay confined to these rooms, we can't have Voldemort knowing you're here now can we?" He grinned at them all, they all looked at him with different expressions of shock and humour. He had said all that in one breath.
"Right we'll meet for lunch at 12.30 in here again, then later we can open presents, and then at 7 pm the real party will start."
He vanished with another pop, and the others quickly set to their tasks.
