Melanie Riddle knelt on the floor waiting for the signal to stand. Soon the man in the chair signaled her to get up.
"What is the matter?" Voldemort hissed.
"Dumbledore has Snape making anti-veela potion," she said.
"Destroy it," he said.
"I can not find it," she said, "it is not in his classroom. I even checked in Dumbledore's office. It is not there either."
"Ask Snape," Voldemort hissed getting angry.
"I have," she said, "he does not know where Dumbledore has taken it. Dumbledore told him that he was keeping it safe."
"Use your powers on him," Voldemort hissed.
"I have tried," she said, "They do not work on Dumbledore for some reason."
"When was it made?" he asked.
"Yesterday," she answered.
"So you have less than a week to get Potter," he said, "Do not worry about getting his trust. Just bring him here this week. Then do not return to the school"
"Yes, master," she said.
"Has Snape discovered anything about those animals?" Voldemort asked.
"No," she answered.
"Then you are free to go," he answered.
"Harry would you mind removing that owl from this class?" asked Professor Riddle.
"All right," he said. He tried to pick Hedwig up to put her out the window, but she flew away. She soon landed on Neville's desk. Neville tried to catch her, but she took flight again.
"Sorry, Professor," Harry said, "I can't catch her."
"It's alright," she said watching the strange bird, "Thanks for trying."
"Start dueling," she said. The class got up from their desks and begun to fight as they had done the day before.
Half way through class Harry was turned green by a spell Neville had sent for Crabbe and missed. Harry took a seat next to the wall, and watched his classmates.
"Harry, would you come here," asked Riddle after a few minutes.
Harry stood up and walked to her desk.
"Would you mind taking this note to Dumbledore?" she asked handing him a piece of paper.
"Sure," he said taking it. He walked out the door. Hedwig followed him out the door. As he turned the first corner he disappeared into thin air.
