Harry Potter and the Ministry of Magic
-------------------------------
Gaara rode on her huge falcon, Ffari, towards the wizarding village of Black hills while reading a long rolled piece of parchment. Scanning the crimson words, Gaara spoke horsly and in a whisper. "Ffari, land in the town square,"
The falcon landed, and Gaara reached her right palm to the sky. The palm's sun-shaped scar burst out a wall of crystal blue light, enshrouding the fearful wizards in a completely controlling Imperious spell.
"Listen up! You will be given a single liberty under my Imperious spell, you will be able to talk, and move your legs. When I call your name, say 'yes', and walk up infront of me. Anyone that uses this liberty to do anything other than ordered will face a death by Crucio. Karen Limmus," Gaara called out to the people.
"Yes," Said a young girl as she walked up to where Gaara was standing.
"Good. Nichols Kinnian," Gaara continued.
"That's me," Said an older man, about sixty, as he steped up, standing next to Karen.
"Waldo James,"
"Yeah," Said an insolent teenage boy as he stood, listening to a portable radio.
"Give it here, boy," Gaara began as she held out her hand to Waldo, and waiting for the radio. Reluctantly, the boy handed it over. Gaara immediately burned it before she returned to calling the list. "Dorothy Yules,"
"Heh heh, that's me," Said a girl of twenty as she too stepped up.
"James Ivann,"
"Yep," Said a middle-aged man.
"That finishes up the name calling, but, you three girls. Crucio!" Gaara called to a group of girls that had been huddled, chatting while Gaara was calling the names.
Gaara laughed a cold, high laugh as she felt her dark mark begin to itch. Still laughing at the girls' fate, Gaara gathered the five witches and wizards for a large gathering apperiation. Quickly vanishing, Gaara left the dark mark behind to remind everyone that the Dark Lord had struck again…
-------------------------------
Gaara appeared at the headquarters of Lord Voldemort with the five hostages bound and gaged, along with another fifteen bound the same way. Quickly, Gaara dragged them inside and into a cell block room for hostages. She untied the gags and went to find Lord Voldemort.
Passing in the hallway was Gaara's most trusted friend, Bellacrux Black. Gaara nodded a hello and kept walking, her short crimson robe, Long wine red overrobe, and baggy black pants swaying as she walked. The next person that Gaara met in the hall was Severus Snape.
"Gaara, going to report the mission incomplete. I'd be careful, He's not in a good mood," Snape grinned.
"He gave me the mudblood mission first. I am going to tell Him that I have completed that mission. I expect that I will get the mission to capture the Weasly boy as well," Gaara replied dangerously.
"Ohhhh, I'm so scared by your death glares," Snape mocked.
"I have no time for this Severus. We can fight later," Gaara snapped and continued walking, leaving no room for Snape to respond.
------------------------
Gaara arrived at the Dark Lord's quarters(underground) in only a few moments. She gently rapped on the door and waited for a reply.
"Who dare to speak to me!" came a cold, high voice.
"Gaara, reporting that my mission is complete," Gaara answered assertativly.
"Ah. Gaara, come in," replied the voice of the Dark Lord. Gaara opened the door and walked in to find Lord Voldemort sitting by the fire near Naganimi. Every so often, he would whisper something to his beloved snake. Gaara understood snippets, she did speak parseltongue.
"M'lord, I went to the village and accousted the five mudbloods and fifteen muggles like you asked. All went as planned," Gaara reported.
"Good, but I said for you to get only ten muggles, not fifteen," The Dark Lord replied.
"M'lord, if it pleases you, I thought that we could have a little higher number. That it would be a better weapon to negotiate with the Ministry. If it pleases you," Gaara said humbly.
"Gaara, I am dissapointed that you would not stick to my orders after I raised you from the orphanage and taught you everything-" Lord Voldemort began.
"And I am grateful my Lord!" Gaara interupted.
"And taught you everything. But, I think that it was wise of you to think on your own. And, for that, I will not punish you again. Infact, I shall reward you. Gaara, you have permission to capture the Weasly boy," Lord Voldemort finished.
"Thank you M'lord! You will not be sorry!" Gaara exclaimed. At this the door burst open and Severus Snape walked in.
"My lord! You can't be serious! The Ron boy should be taken care of by someone that knows him. Much less an amature!" Snape cried.
"You dare challenge the Dark Lord's orders, Severus?" Gaara added in darkly.
"Severus, I have spoken. I trust Gaara to do my will much better than you, because she thinks ahed. She is almost always thinking along the same path I do. You on the other hand are a mindless drone that will do what ever your master says. Now leave my sight," Lord Voldemort said calmly but coldly.
"B-B-But, she disobeied orders! Shouldn't she be punished for that?" Snape protested.
"Severus, you are about to experience Gaara's poisonus Crucio spell. I recommend you leave before I give her the word," Voldemort added darkly. Snape couldn't get out of the room fast enough. Gaara left soon after bowing a goodbye.
------------
Gaara stepped outside the door to the headquarters and sat down on the dusty, platform that served as a cover for the true entrance to the headquarters.(the fake headquarters was a small house near Stonehenge) Behind her, the door opened and Bellacrux sat down next to Gaara.
"What did he tell you?" Bella asked.
"I leave next week to accust the Weasly boy," Gaara said in an empty tone while she stared at the stars.
"You got the mission? Lucky! So, tell me, what did the Lord say when Snape burst in?" Bella asked excitedly.
"Well, first he said that Snape was a mindless drone. And after Snape protested, he told Snape that in a moment, I would cast one of my deadly Crucio spells on him. Snape couldn't get out of there fast enough!" Gaara confessed. Bella laughed out loud.
"So, I'm thinking of asking the Dark Lord if I can go with you. And since everyone knows that because he raised you, you think like him. So, would it be a good idea?" Bella leaned in to ask.
"Naw, Weasly already knows you. Lucious Malfoy stated it when he gave the news to Lord Voldemort. My thinking is that if the Weasly boy knows your face, he'll think something's up. Besides, the reason that the Dark Lord chose me over Snape is because Weasly already has a grudge against Snape. But, not even Potter knows who I am," Gaara answered in a giddy tone.
"Thanks Gaara. I'm glad I came to you," Bella replied. "Oh, dinner's ready,"
Both Gaara and Bellacrux got up and walked inside the small building. They promptly, they walked into the dining hall underground and sat in their seats. Gaara sat at Voldemort's right, and Bella in the middle.
The food appeared on the table and wine in the pitchers, as Voldemort raised his hands. Everyone at the table helped themselves to the food first, and began eating at Voldemort's symbol.
"My Lord, what is your latest plan to destroy Potter?" asked an older Death Eater.
"Earlier this morning, I sent Gaara out to preform part one of my plan. She accusted five mudbloods and fifteen muggles.
"My plan is this, We kidnapp Ronald Weasly, the best friend of Harry Potter, along with a few other hostages. We make a ransom to the Ministry: we will kill all of the hostages unless they turn over Potter. Untill a decision is made, We will kill one hostage every day," Voldemort finished. Everyone clapped.
"Who is to accust Weasly?" asked Draco Malfoy.
"You and Gaara are," The Dark Lord replied. Gaara froze in the process of sipping her wine.
"My lord! He is too young! Surely the job is to much for him!" Gaara protested.
"Gaara, he needs to start somewhere. Besides, he can give you information on where the boy is," Voldemort replied coldly.
"Yes m'lord," Gaara replied emptily.
"Good. Draco, you leave in a week," Voldemort replied kindly.
