A/N I got the idea for this in the car listening to HBP. This is going to be my first Harry Potter chapter story. Hope you like, PotterChickeydey.

Prologue

Bernard Slytherin snaked though the dark alley, which would eventually become Knockturn Alley. He was headed for the dark arts object store, called the Evil Wizard's Toy Store. He was here about a ring. He had been offered 10k galleons for his family's heirloom and he planned to take this man up on it. He knew that the bearer of this ring would be branded a Slytherin and that the ring had been in his family since before his great-great-great uncle Salazar Slytherin but Bernard was a greedy man and he wanted that 10,000 galleons. Bernard reached Evil Wizard's Toy Store and pushed open the dirty door. A soft bell rang though the shop as he stepped into the shop. The main part of the shop was one small room that was covered from wall to wall with dark objects and had an awful smell. Anything from simple dark charm books to advanced evil wizard cult items could be found in this shop. Suddenly a small smelly dirty man appeared from a back room. "Ah, Mister Bernard, how are you this evening?"

"Wonderful, Edge."

"Are you here to buy today?" asked the man who was named Edger Black but was called Edge as he always had the edge over every other dark object stores.

"Not today. Today, I'm here to sell the ring you want to buy. You still want it?"

"Of course. Is 10,000 galleons the going rate?"

"Yep. You got the money now or do you need sometime to get it all?"

"I've got the money now, if you have the ring."

"Here it is." Bernard produced a rather large ring made of gold that had a black stone set onto the ring. The stone had the Peverell coat of arms engraved on it and on the ring's inside was a small barley noticeable engraved snake. He handed it to Edge who studied it closely before saying.

"It's the real ring."

"Edge, do you really think I'd give you a fake ring?"

"Yes, Mister Bernard. Here're your galleons." He handed him a heavy pouch. Bernard looked into it and made sure it was galleons.

"Nice to see you again, Edge."

"Till next time, Mr. Bernard." Edge said as Bernard slipped out the shop and down the street, hopefully unnoticed, but unnoticed by either Edger Black or Bernard Slytherin a woman lurked in the shadows who had witnessed the whole exchange. Quietly, Abigail Potter shadowed down the street after Bernard.
