Chapter 5
Parseltongue
The next day after Voldemort had left, Harry finished the cleaning and left the rooms. He assumed that the Death Eaters had been told his new arrangements because the few that he saw only glared at him.
He had another 2 hours before Lunch so he returned to the Kitchens to see his friends again.
This time when he entered everyone went straight back to work. But he got the same greeting from his friends. He explained what his new orders were on another piece of parchment that Hermione gave him.
"What so he's not going to ever let you speak again except for him and his snake, because he doesn't like you talking to us or his Death Eaters?" Harry nodded, then wrote something else.
Have you heard anything about you
families?
"No," Ron said "We haven't had any news of anything outside the castle. Has Voldemort said anything?" Ginny asked.
No. He always finds something for me to
do in the other room. Sorry."
"It's not your fault, Harry." Hermione assured him. There was a short silence before Harry wrote again.
If I hear anything I will tell you.
But I have an hour before I have
To go to the Great Hall so what can
I help with?
Harry helped prepare the Lunch then left 10 minutes before it was to be served.
He walked quickly to the Great Hall which was swarming with Dearth Eaters and had lost it's warm feeling he was so use to it having, even with the fires going.
Harry walked around the edge of the room, trying not to draw attention to himself. He headed towards what use to be the Teachers table but now seemed to hold the inner circle of the Dearth Eaters.
Making his way around the back of the table, Harry stopped behind Dumbledore's old chair and stood waiting for Voldemort to arrive.
When Voldemort arrived all the Death Eaters stood from their chairs, while Harry did the opposite and knelt. Only when Voldemort had taken his seat did the Death Eaters sit again, but the conversation didn't start again until the food had appeared and Voldemort had begun his meal.
Once Voldemort had finished his meal the left over food disappeared and he left. Some of the Death Eaters stayed to discuss some of the resent attacks that they had been involved in but most left after their Master.
For the next few weeks it was the same except occasionally their would be a meeting after Lunch, which Harry always listened to carefully then wrote down the main points for his friends and the Teachers.
But 3 weeks after the first Lunch Voldemort told some of the Death Eater to go get the Prisons.
Harry watched as a large group of witches and wizards were brought into the room. They were all bound to the person in front and behind them.
From his position on the floor beside Voldemort's chair, Harry could only look under the table to see who they were. He recognised most of the as ministry workers and hoped beyond hope that Mr Weasley and Percy weren't in the group. But his hope faded quickly when he saw a group of red heads in the group. 5 red heads to be exact, which meant that they also had Mrs Wealsey, Bill and Charlie.
Voldemort went through the same speech that he gave the students of Hogwarts, asking if anyone wanted to join him and like the last time about half left the room with Avery and his cronies.
There were about 25 left in the group. Harry was pleased to see that none of the Weasley family had left the room.
After the new Death Eaters had left, the rest of the group were spilt into three. One was made up of all the children of the ministry workers. They were sent down to the kitchens. The last 2 groups were made up of the adults, the smallest had the Weasleys, only one wasn't a Weasley.
The Larger group were sent away with another group of Death Eaters.
Harry turned his concentration back to the Weasleys' again. But it seemed that Mrs Weasley had been watching him trying to work out who he was.
"HARRY!" her yelled shocked the Death Eater holding her into letting go. She ran towards him, but when she was a metre from the table Voldemort waved his hand sending her flying into the sidewall. Knocking her unconscious.
This time it was Harry who was running across the room to Mrs Weasley. Ignoring what would happen later he knelt beside her, cradling her head in his lap. As he couldn't talk to her, he just hugged her and rocked.
"Yes. Of course. Your very close to the Weasley family aren't you?" Harry jumped and looked up to see Voldemort standing over him. "Leave them alone" "Why? Why shouldn't I torture and kill them?" But Harry couldn't think of a reason. He went lower then he would have like, and for once he was glad that no one could understand him.
"Please.Master. Leave them alone. Please put them in the kitchen or something, please." He begged. Voldemort stared at him for a moment then laughed. "Well Well Well I never thought I would see the day. But I have promised my followers someone to take their.how should I put it?.Frustration on."
Harry thought again before continuing. "I'll take the Weasley's place.They can torture me." "and why would you do that. What have they done to you to make you care that much." Voldemort asked. "They loved me." He replied, thou not expecting this to be a good enough reason for Voldemort.
Voldemort thought for a minute.
"Malfoy!" he called, making some of the Death Eaters in the room jump. "Take them down to the Kitchen and make sure they stay there." "Yes, my Lord." Malfoy turned to leave but Voldemort spoke again. "And come back when you're finished."
