Voldemort laughed harshly at Lucius. " You fool, Draco has been my heir from the beginning. He will take over weather he wants to or not. The ways of the Dark Arts are forever in his blood.
You, are but a pawn." Lucius concentrated hard on keeping his composure before getting completely pissed off now. He turned around and glared at Bellatrix who was trying hard to laugh. " Oh Lucius, you should have known the Dark Lord has his own way of doing things." she laughed.
Lucius glared at her. " You evil Bitch." he growled. Pansy stood back listening to all of this. How could she have left Draco for Lucius? All She wanted was power. She mentally kicked herself for betraying Draco. She hoped someday he would forgive her.
" Ms. Parkinson, It is time that you were given the Dark Mark. We need to have a celebration." Voldemort said. Pansy nodded. She could say nothing. She was trying furiously to think of how she could get Draco back. She could fake being pregnant. She scratched that thought.
" I know what you are thinking, and you will be with Draco soon enough." Voldemort hissed. " How My Lord? I have betrayed him." She said in a quiet voice. " Draco will come around. Trust me." He said.
Harry Clamped his hand over his burning scar. Harry swayed as the dizziness overcame him. He fell backwards and landed on the floor, complete out. Ginny screamed and ran towards him. She felt for a pulse and did a mental check of herself as well.
" Harry!" She called. No use. Not even a stir. " Sirius! Ron, Hermione come quick!" Ginny cried. Hermione was the first one in the room, followed closely by Ron and Sirius. " Harry suddenly passed out. He was complaining his scar was burning…" Ginny started. Ron and Sirius moved Harry to the couch in the living room.
Voldemort rounded on Lucius. " You have tried thwarting my power ever since you became a death eater Lucius. You honestly think that you could have gained more power than me? The Greatest Dark Lord ever to walk to face of the earth?" Voldemort roared. The Death Eaters all stood back and let him continue on his rampage.
He pushed his wand towards Lucius making him fall to the ground. " You have been the traitor, Lucius. I have been a fool to give you so much power." Voldemort said. " AVADA KADAVRA!" In an instant, Lucius fell to the ground dead.
Pansy screamed, as she flung her hand to her mouth. Harry screamed in Pain as his eyes flung open with Terror. He grabbed onto Ginny's hand and held it tightly before falling back and breathing heavily. " Harry, are you alright, what's going on?"
Hermione asked. Harry looked at her with sweat pouring down his forehead. " Voldemort just killed Lucius Malfoy and is making Draco his heir, but Draco has left the Dark Side and is now in Danger,
" Harry spat out as he tried catching his breath." Hermione and Ginny looked at each other. Ron went and got a cold cloth to put in Harry's burning scar.
Bellatrix smiled wickedly. " Well done, Master." She said. " You have always been very jealous, Bella, of your sister, because she is more fair than you." Voldemort said turning to Bellatrix.
Bella stood back. " What do you mean, My Lord?" She asked trying not to look surprised. " Well, Narcissa, has been beautiful forever, Long blonde hair, fair blue eyes, pale skin, lips red as a rose, were you, dark hair, brown eyes, and well, not exactly the fairest of them all. " Voldemort said. Bellatrix fought back her urge to at him in anger.
" Well, My Lord, I have changed since I was a little girl." She tried fixing her self. Voldemort nodded." That you have Bella."
" You are beautiful but in your own way. I know you wanted Lucius four your husband and not your sister. I know you wanted him all to your self. Bella looked down embarrassed.
Pansy stood watching all of this with an amazed expression on her face. " Anyways, Onto the future, and away with the past.
" Voldemort said. He turned to look at Pansy. " You must understand what is taking place her Ms. Parkinson." He said. The room they were in was round and beautiful. Books lined the walls from floor to ceiling.
There was dark blood red carpet on the floor. There were white lined curtains on the windows.
" My Lord, If you don't mind me asking, what is this plan you are working on to get Potter?" She asked. " I am glad you asked Pansy." He said. " Please, sit and let me explain." Voldemort said to her.
" Potter's blood run's In my veins. " I am surprised that he has not yet learned how to enter into my most darkest thoughts and my plans. I am planning on killing him by taking his soul away from him, and making him a great Dark Wizard even more powerful than myself." Voldemort said.
Pansy looked at him with a sort of confused expression on her face. " My Lord, I thought you were going to make Draco your heir and just kill Potter, not make him your 2nd in Command?" Pansy asked. Voldemort shook his head.
" Harry, has some things that I never could have. Harry, has certain powers that if I were to gain, it would make me invincible. However, seeing as how I am getting to that point in my life where I need to be in complete control, I have decided to basically make Potter, a pawn. The Men, if they knew how great of a Wizard Potter is, would listen to him, and fear him as they have already but ten fold." Voldemort explained.
Bellatrix did not like this at all. " So you are not wanting to kill Harry at all then?" She asked almost barley controlling her voice. " No. I want to kill Harry, I want to kill him with my own two hands. I want him to suffer more than anyone else I have ever killed. He has thwarted my way of life, he has thwarted my reign of power forever. People will no longer doubt me as the greatest dark wizard when I kill Potter." Voldemort said. Bella and Pansy nodded.
Harry was sitting wide eyed at what he was hearing. He was hearing Voldemort's plans to kill him. He was going to be made into a Dark Wizard if He could help it. Harry didn't want to worry anybody. Thousands of thoughts were running through his head. If he trained himself to get into Voldemort's most evil plans to take over the Wizard World, maybe he could save everyone.
specially his family. Harry was not going to worry anyone. He was going to get training. Proper training. But from where? Dumbledore is dead. He was the only Wizard whom Harry trusted enough to train him with that much great power.
" Harry, are you ok?" Ginny said looking pale and worried. Harry tried to look as normal as possible now. " Yeah I'm ok. I just had some kind of connection with Voldemort or something when he Killed Lucius." Harry said trying to get up but was pushed back down faster than anyone by Hermione and Ginny.
" You are lying down. You need to keep your strength up. If you are entering Voldemort's thoughts, then could he enter yours?"
Ginny asked. " No." Harry said. " Voldemort dosent know I am in his thoughts." he added. Hermione put her hand to her stomach. " Whoo, Elizabeth is moving around a lot." She said sitting next to Harry. " Here Mione, you need to sit down and relax." Ron said taking control of the situation. Hermione sat down next to Harry. Who looked at her Concerned.
"We should be getting this baby out soon." Hermione said leaning back. " I'm getting tired of carrying her, I feel so fat and utterly helpless." Hermione complained. " You are not Fat, your beautiful." Ron said smiling at her. Hermione rounded on him. " Don't you dare tell me how I feel!" She said almost crying.
" I'm sorry love. I just wanted to make you feel better." Ron said knowing fully well that It was just her Emotions taking over control of the situation. The night winded down from the events earlier. Ginny was getting ready to slip into bed early. She was feeling tired herself. Harry however, stayed up and paced the floor while trying to figure out how to beat Voldemort.
He paced the study until all the lights were turned out. Rose had gone back to the Ministry to do some research on him, which of course he didn't mind. It's not like there wasn't enough on him already. He thought to himself.
" So, what really happened tonight Harry." Sirius said as he propped himself up against the doorway. Startled, Harry spun quickly around to face his godfather. " I watched Voldemort kill Lucius Malfoy." Harry said. Sirius nodded. " Do you think we should inform Arthur?" Sirius asked. Harry nodded. " Tomorrow." He said. Sirius nodded. " What else? Why are you not asleep?
You seem troubled." Sirius asked looking lovingly at Harry. Harry sighed heavily. " I am worried, Sirius. I'm worried that I won't survive all of this. Voldemort has planned for me to become one of his greatest pawns ever. He is planning on stealing my soul and turning it against me, killing my spirit and Turing me into a great Dark Wizard, taking over the entire Wizarding World, killing all who don't belong." Harry said.
" The thing that scares me most, is I know I have his powers. I have the ability to have the same strength, the same everything as him." Harry said rubbing a hand through his hair.
" I don't want to be him. Sirius." Harry said. Fear was written all over his face. Sirius sighed heavily. " I know what you mean. I know how you are feeling, vulnerable, scared, determined.
You are strong Harry. You have something that Voldemort doesn't." Sirius said. Harry shook his head. " Yeah, yeah, a pregnant girlfriend whom I love with all my heart, and Love.
I don't think that's going to be enough to defeat him." Harry said. " When you doubt, your doubts will come true." Sirius said. Harry looked quizzically at him. " You sound like a fortune cookie." he said. Sirius laughed. " Don't worry, you will defeat him Harry. I know it. Ginny knows it, everyone has faith In you." Sirius said smiling. Harry nodded. " Now go get some sleep. You and Ginny have a big day to plan tomorrow." Sirius said smiling.
Ron looked at Hermione playfully. " Oh Hermione, you are everything I ever dreamed of in a woman." Ron said. Hermione flushed. " I love you." She said kissing him. " I love you more." Ron said. " When do you think Ginny and Harry will set the date?" Hermione said. " They have to do it soon." she added.
" They will do it, just be patient with them." Ron said smiling down at her. His hair was getting long and shaggy. Just like his older brothers. Hermione nodded. Ron watched Hermione take her lower lip between her teeth. " You know you can hurt yourself by doing that." he said smiling. She laughed.
" What are you thinking about?" He asked her. She looked at him. " Are you worried about the future?" she asked. Ron thought about how to answer her question. Truth was, he was scared shitless about the future. Weather or not they would make it through the war. He was scared for Hermione, for Ginny. For Harry. He was scared.
" Yes, I'm scared." Ron said. " But, I know Harry will come out ok." Hermione nodded. " I am just scared of having a child at this time in the war. I know we didn't plan for it to happen this way. But I'm just scared for her." Hermione said holding her stomach. Ron kissed her lightly. " I know darling. " Everything will work out in time." Ron said. " You sound so much like your dad." Hermione giggled.
" Baby, I'm scared." Harry confessed. Ginny smiled warmly at him. " I know, I'm scared too, Harry, but I know you will defeat Voldemort, I just know it." Ginny said. Harry smiled down at her. " I'm such a lying rat!" He said, frustrated. Ginny rounded on him. " Your not a lying rat!"
" Let's not waste time arguing." She said. Her grip firming on his hand. Harry got up and closed the bedroom door. " I love you so much. I want to bring our children in safely. I want to marry you." Harry said. " I want to marry you too Mr. Potter." Ginny said smiling. She looked beautiful. Her long hair flowed in ringlets around her shoulders. " You are so beautiful." Harry said.
Ginny giggled. "So what are you thinking we should do about everything?" She asked. " I am at a loss now honestly." Harry said. " I think we need to go talk to Dumbledore, I know he's dead, but he's got to be a portrait in Hogwarts don't you think?" Harry asked Ginny. She nodded. " Of course." She said.
" I just need some of his wisdom. " I understand. When do you want to go?" Ginny asked. " Tomorrow." " But I want you to stay here. I don't want you being bothered by the daily prophet reporters about you being pregnant, we have to keep that a secret because if you know who finds out.." Harry shuddered.
" I know Harry, I'm only four months along and look how huge I am…this isn't going to be kept a secret for long." Ginny said. " I want to protect you from harm. If anything ever happened to you….I don't know what I would do." Harry said. " I know love." Ginny kissed him. He couldn't stop himself from sliding his hand under her night skirt and up her leg to the hot, moist ore of her.
" I'm sorry," He said. "Why? For loving me unconditionally?" Ginny asked. She pressed her cheek to him and spoke with he lips against his ear " We should do this in our bed.." " Is it what you want right now?" Harry asked her.
" Yes." Ginny said. She climbed awkwardly into the bed. He stood and reached for her , and the words he had been trying to say stumbled out " Ginny, I love you so very much. You mean the world to me." Harry said. Tears were flowing down his eyes. She raised her head and looked into his eyes. " I love you too, don't worry about the future, worry about right now." Ginny said.
" You know I feel embarrassed about the way I look Harry." Ginny said out of the blue. " I told you, You look very sexy to me. Very feminine." he traced his fingers over the swell of her breasts, stroking her distended nipples before sliding his hand downward so he could circle the larger swell of her belly.
She was silent for several moments, then blurted, " You know the right things to say. You did from the beginning." The observation stung, because it didn't simply apply to this situation. She could just as well be talking about the line he'd fed her-about everything being ok. He moved slowly, taking her with him and leaning against the wall of the bed.
Together they fell asleep without a care In the world other than what was happening right then.
