Chapter 3: Lair Meeting

A small yet powerful silver hand quickly typed in the numbers to the Lair. The Lair was the name Lord Voldemort had given his secret hideout, then again it isn't really secret as it was in the Riddle House, and quite a few people knew about it. Frequent checks and raids by Aurors and Muggle policemen would normally have made many more alert and cautious, but not Voldemort. Many would think he would have long by now moved out and found a better unknown hideout, but due to the many raids elsewhere, and the Auror visits to the Riddle House becoming less frequent, it was the perfect place. Many a time was when Voldemort would let off a taped cackle of him laughing, causing the whole Auror force to go on alert and start searching, so far they had found four of the spelled items, every now and then another would go off, Voldemort and his followers thought it hilarious that the ministry could be so stupid and afraid. Voldemort would at some times peer at the Aurors through paintings on the wall, his eyes giving most a fright, he would watch in amusement then as when the Auror looked back nothing would be there, it was also hilarious when an Auror would try to tear the picture down seeing a hidden chamber, and only come to a wall. In a certain part of the house there was a dusty old piano by playing certain keys, one could go farther below ground, due to a muggle installed elevator. Once on the first basement floor there would be another whole house of oddities and gadgets, as well as stairs leading throughout the uppermost portions of the house, and at the very top would be a puzzle with the face of Salazar Slytherin, by completing the puzzle and then saying "Purebloods Above" another door would open at the back of the room, this being another elevator going to the second basement level. Once in the second basement level a system of electronics and wizarding items to detect people and animagus, as well as any other unwanted persons. Voldemort although despising muggles and muggle-borns knew the value of some of the muggle inventions. Although looking innocent enough at the place right near the security booth a carpet hid a trap door. Upon entering the trap door one would head into the tunnel and come across two pathways, one going left, the other right. The left path would lead one many miles away, until coming upon a mix between a Potions Room and library. There were stairs in the middle of the room and heading up the stairs would take one to a cellar door which opens up onto a graveyard, of course the cellar door is metal and has had electronics fitted with it, so one could enter a code to get in and a different code to get out. The left path reached out much, much further than the right, one could spend hours walking and when reaching the end would have realized that one was slowly going downhill only to reach yet another large door. This door however was Slytherin green with the picture of a large Basilisk on it. Then one would have to enter in another password, it was quite easy it was 666, however there was almost always someone sitting at another security booth beyond the doors and if they didn't recognize one of the people, they would be shocked and then carted off to the prison, which was on the fourth floor of the basement. Some may call the dark lord ingenious, others paranoid, but he had every right to be, besides not many would live after calling a dark lord paranoid.

The silver hand man stepped back as the door was swung open. The Death Eater meeting was about to start and no one wanted to be late.

"Ah, Peter Pettigrew. The master is hoping you have good news." A man named Avery whispered in his ear menacingly.

"Uh, not yet. The boy has vanished, the Dursleys aren't even at the house anymore, not that they took him with them, but-"

"Enough. I doubt our lord will want to hear your pitiful excuses." Avery growled, the power was beginning to go to his head.

"Well, well, well. What do we have here? The worm failing, not much of a surprise, but you as well? I thought that by being in your new position you would actually feel the need to do your duty. Is it not you in charge of finding the boy as well as the Dursley's?" Snape came over and sneered at the two, watching with glee as Avery blushed red.

"Uh. About that. Well um." Avery struggled to find words.

"Well, what?" Snape spat in disgust.

"Uh. You see-" Avery began, when he was interrupted by Wormtail a.k.a Peter Pettigrew.

"The dark lord is beginning to speak." Wormtail said feebly. And he was right, Lord Voldemort the most feared wizard of the age, was standing up silencing his followers, those who didn't shut up right away received a painful crucio.

Voldemort looked around his Lair his snake-silted eyes moving here and there, his Death Eaters were mainly loyal, though a few he knew were questionable. As much as he hated muggle items and ideals, he had to admit they had their uses. He saw his trusted servant Wormtail quiet Snape and Avery, as soon as he stood up. He cleared his mind and began to speak.

"My loyal Death Eaters. I want to welcome you once more to my humble abode. This is a great undertaking in the history of this world. Many of you are probably wondering why there are so many elaborate traps, tricks, puzzles, and the like, as well as the many muggle electronics." Voldemort stopped to see if any of his Death Eaters were foolish enough to question him, luckily they knew to stay quiet, Voldemort realizing his fun wasn't coming continued. "There is indeed a reason, I trust that for many of you incompetent fools, that you had difficulty getting here. Just imagine how hard it would be for an Auror to get in here, or an escaped prisoner to escape. It is almost impossible. But that is not the only reason for this new development." A bunch of whispering was heard throughout.

Peter and Snape looked at each other knowingly, Avery though completely clueless murmured out loud catching the attention of Voldemort.

"Yes, Avery. What is it?" Voldemort asked politely his hand itching for his wand, just waiting to use an unforgivable.

"It's nothing my lord." Avery looked thoughtful for a moment, before realizing that he had a better chance of not having Voldemort use a torture spell on him if he told what he was really thinking. "It's just that, aren't we against muggles? Isn't that one of your plans? To eradicate the existence of muggles, mud bloods, and squibs?"

"Originally, that was what I was planning, but I have discovered something far better. In my research before my untimely disappearance." Voldemort glared at many of the older Death Eaters present. "I came across a man, this mans name was Morag. He was in fact what I guess you could say a mentor to me, closest thing I had to a father. He was no ordinary man either, he was not a wizard, at least in the context we use the word 'wizard' as, but he was more of a sorcerer of necromancy, possibly not even necromancy, but a totally brand new form of dark magic. He was in disguise of a muggle, which is one reason we have muggle technology here, he taught me that even things we hate can be used for our greater good. Just as he was a muggle, he knew that if he were to disguise himself as a wizard, someone may actually discover who he was. I still do not know who he was, I do know that he is at least ten times more powerful than I could ever be, even at the height of my powers. Some of you may realize where I am heading with this."

"I think I see somewhat my lord. But where does this have to do with not eradicating the impure?" Avery spoke up once more."

"Patience, I will get to that in time. Back to the story, my mentor told me that every living sentient being has a deep spout of power deep within their hearts that with certain requirements can be freed. Of course wizards and witches would be the strongest of them, the purebloods even stronger. My mentor had begun to teach me how to access this power, but he disappeared one day and I never saw him again, my training was never complete. Why he disappeared I cannot say, but I couldn't wait around for him, word had reached me, about two of my greatest enemies giving birth to a baby boy, the prophecy also reached me. I began the hunt for the Potters mercilessly, and many of you know what happened after that. The point is if this untapped power within each soul is released, we would be in charge of them all, not just wizards and witches, but of even more powerful muggles, they would be totally obedient to me, and the goal of immortality ever so closer."

"So this is all about immortality?" A Death Eater, a new recruit whose name was Dimos Ecant.

"Yes. This is all about immortality, I have been searching for it for years, I may already be half immortal. But in a way this is not about my or even our immortality, this is about power. Many of you know my take on power, but I have finally realized something, once I am immortal, I am about three steps away from being a divine being, a God if you will. Here is what I want of you my loyal Death Eaters, find me my mentor. As a muggle he went by the name of Anthony Morg, his real name is Morag, and he will not answer to anything else, his name may have been changed though, I want you to start looking at the place he was last seen, the one who finds him shall be greatly rewarded once I am a god." Voldemort waited for things to settle down, it was quite amusing how much the Death Eaters acted like children. "That is not however all that I want. As I have looked over the reviews of many of your pathetic reports and it sickens me. Harry Potter just up and vanishes and no one form the wizarding or muggle world has any idea where he has disappeared to. The one to find, no the one to bring me Harry Potter will also be greatly rewarded. Each of you have been assigned different tasks that I want completed, Bellatrix is already on assignment for me, those who are in charge of the group involving her meet at the old hideaway, she will be waiting there. Anyone can search for Morag and Harry Potter but the assignments given should be completed first, unless they are to find one of the two." Voldemort carelessly waved his wand and folders appeared in front of each Death Eater. He went and sat back on his green and purple throne watching as his Death Eaters looked at their assignments.

The four Death Eaters (Avery, Ecant, Pettigrew and Snape) looked at each other, Avery looked loathingly at Snape and Pettigrew. He opened his folder carefully and looked at the contents, he muttered a few choice curse words and headed for the exit, which was blocked due to Voldemort's power, it would be opened once Voldemort thought the meeting was done. The other three opened their folder all at the same time.

"So what did you get?" Dimos asked curiously.

"I have spy duties still." Severus said with a sneer.

"I-I have Harry hunting along with my usual spying in Diagon Alley." Peter murmured, secretly smirking at Severus.

"Great! I can team up with you then, I have Harry hunting too. I mean I'm new and everything, maybe you could show me the ropes?" An exited Dimos spoke rapidly.

"Y-yeah s-sure." Peter responded. They talked for a while longer and just when they along with many of the other Death Eaters were beginning to leave Voldemort stood back up.

"I want to wish many of you good luck at your duties. I know you will not disappoint." Voldemort's eyes moved around the room making certain that his threat had been noted. "Farewell, and happy hunting. Until our next meeting, may you hope it responds with good news." Voldemort gave a wave of his wand and the door was unlocked and Avery was the first one out the door, many others following in his footsteps. Voldemort watched in cruel satisfaction as they left, going to do the jobs he assigned to them, not all of them very pleasant. It would not be long now, soon he would make his war, the second war, in the end there being only his victor, and he would become a God and would rule the entire planet, possibly even the whole universe, the best thing about it being he would never die. 'Yes this is the good life. I only have to kill that blasted Potter boy.' Unknown to Voldemort, or his Death Eaters, two new players were about to enter the wizarding world. Their names were Korg and Zet.

A/N: I know I said Voldemort and Dumbledore, but I've been sick lately with a really bad case of the flu and could only right Voldemort's half. Next chapter should include Dumbledore, the ministry, and whoever Korg and Zet are. I want to thank you all once again for the reviews, I was really surprised I got that many, I'll try not to disappoint. Thanks again for the reviews, and I'll try to update faster, please review. Now to the responses. I might decide to change and put them at the top next time.

Tanydwr:

It's okay to be exited, I personally think that is the best pairing for Harry, it just doesn't fit with any other character. As to the questions about sleep and food, the sleep answer will come a bit later, and with the food he can eat at pretty much anytime, and part of the muggle training includes breakfast, which you'll see once we get back to Harry in say the chapter after next. That info is very interesting too, I might have to use that somewhere in one of the stories I'm working on, it sounds like it would be good for one of my supposed villains in another story, so thanks.

R-Krulle:

Thanks. I'll do my best.

Silver Warrior:

Thanks for the compliments. Harry will be learning about a few of his Slytherin gifts later on.

The Best witch of all:

Peter and Snape are good, Harry doesn't know though and it will take even longer for him to trust them, and Peter's betrayal was meant to happen, it was all an elaborate scheme to release Eidon, you'll find out more when Peter and Harry chat sometime in the future, can't really say more. Sorry. Thanks for reviewing.

grim( )

Thanks, and yes it will be Harry/Ginny.

Jwillams:

Glad you think so. I'm going to try to make this different from some of the other stories out there, some expected some unexpected twists, thanks for giving me an A-. I hope you continue to read and review, hopefully I keep up to your expectations.

Thanks to all my reviewers I hope you continue to both read and review.
