I threw back my head and laughed. My laugh reverberated throughout the room, echoing off the walls and growing louder in intensity. I grabbed Wormtail and pulled him up. "Tell me all you know."
He gulped, and nodded. He talked until I was satisfied, then I left the room, leaving a trembling man behind me.

"Dolohov!"
The man looked at me from where he was standing on guard. "Yes Lord?"
"Bring Malfoy and the others. We're going on a little trip tonight."
Dolohov's face split into a twisted grin. He knew what that meant. "Yes Lord."
Death would cut the air tonight, and weeping would ring throughout the streets.

I had them gather in a circle around me. Dolohov, Malfoy, Goyle... all my followers, my Death Eaters, were all there. All as power-hungry as myself, and ready to kill on a whim. I paced back and forth. "You all know why you are here," I began. "You just don't know who it is you are called here for." I walked around the circle, staring each in the face in turn. None so much as blinked.
"Yes," I said. "Only I know why you are here. You are here, because this night will be my night of triumph! Tonight, I will kill the Potters."
A murmur ran through the Death Eaters. "But Lord..." One stepped forward. "How is it that you have found out where the Potters are hiding?"
I smiled secretly. "Another has joined our side tonight. Another man has come to sense and joined us! That man was the Potters Secret-Keeper." Another murmur. "Yes, the Potters used the age old Fidelius charm. A charm so old and powerful not even I have found how to break it without the proper information. Me, who is so close to conquering death itself! Fellow Death-Eaters, let us go. To the Potters!"
Everyone raised their arms on which the Dark Mark was evident. I touched my own, and they all burned black, the color of death.I could imagine the fear and coldness which ran through all witches and wizards that night. Perhaps they could sense my triumph, my revenge!
As one, we Disapperated.

We appeared on the street on which the Potters dwelled. A dog howled, and owl hooted, and a full moon rose above the trees on this Halloween night. How appropriate.
Our wands held high, we approached the innocent space between two houses, barely two feet wide. I leaned forward and whispered the words Wormtail had told me. Gradually, the space stretched wider and wider, until it was ten feet, twenty, fifty. And a small house shimmered into view.
I turned and looked at my Death Eaters. "Don't be impolite. Give them a proper greeting, boys!" The Death Eaters howled and wailed as I pounded on the door of the Potters house.

That wasn't very long at all, but I wanted to stretch it into three chapters. Please review, but don't be kind. I know it's not very good, but I'd like to make it better, so any advice would be greatly appreciated. (:
