Chapter 8- By Angeldust

Minerva marched quickly into the great hall of Voldemort's castle. Voldemort himself now sat at a table in the centre of the hall. Wormtailsat across from him, Lucius Malfoy to his left and Bellatrix next to Wormtail- the place on Voldemort's right was reserved for her. She walked proudly into the room, her head held high with that eerie confidence. She was completely oblivious to the looks that were being sent her way by her newly appointed master.

"We act tomorrow." Voldemort sang clearly with his snake like voice.

"Good." Minerva responded dryly.

"Aren't you going to explain your plans to me?" She sighed dryly in response to this.

"There is a wall surrounding Hogwarts. As soon as our presence is noticed this wall will immerge. It's weak to fire- make sure your army know that. I will be at the front with your army, so Dumbledore knows what he is up against. The staff and students will retreat into the Great Hall- there is nowhere else for them to go. I will disappear then and make up a base in the Forbidden Forest where I can plan out what to do after you should meet me there; I don't want to get my hands dirty. A quarter of your army will attack at Hogwarts main door. This is nothing more than a distraction. They have no clue of your numbers. The rest will sneak around the side, there is a door that leads directly into the Great Hall. Only Dumbledore himself knows its there, he hasn't got a clue that I know. The rest of your army will enter through here and kill anyone that stands up to you. Women or children- it doesn't matter. But they must leave Dumbledore for me. I want to see his face when he meets the death he so desperately longs for..."

"You heard the woman, inform all the captains of each squad and make sure they tell their group." Voldemort barked at Lucius loudly.

"Bella, you will come with me when we move to our camp in the forest tomorrow. As will you, Peter." he sneered- before quickly leaving the table and an untouched breakfast.

"I believe Minerva has joined Voldemort." Albus addressed the order softly.

"As a spy? I mean- after Severus' death we do need one, we haven't got a clue what he's doing or even the number of this so called army he's controlling."

Tonks sighed softly. The death of Severus had been hard for her. Harry and Ron sat quietly in the corner. After Hermione's death they had both demanded to be informed of Voldemort's plans so they could prepare.

"As an ally." Dumbledore sighed softly. "As of late there have been no muggle deaths, Voldemort is planning something and with Minerva at his side there is no telling what he may do!"

Albus watched as the faces around him slowly become shocked- and the arguments about Minerva being a traitor and it being a trick or lie started.

"Silence!" Albus yelled loudly. "From now on I want you all at Hogwarts so I know you are all safe and to help protect Hogwarts if needed. I'm worried for my students' safety- and yours."

Minerva McGonagall stood alone on the balconyof her window. It was a cold bitter night.The sky was red and bright showing that blood would be spilt as Minerva had planned.

"Soon…" Minerva muttered to herself.

"Soon the corridors of Hogwarts will run red with its students' blood- and Albus Dumbledore's eyes will be fed to the crows."

She cried bitterly before turning and making her way to Voldemort's chambers- where the fine details of the plan would be made...
