The assembly stood in silent anticipation of the return of their Dark Lord. All eyes peered from beneath their black hoods searching for the first sight of their reborn master. A pale moon lighted the rocky opening between the assembly and the sea, even the waves breaking against the rocky walls below seemed hushed in anticipation. The time of reckoning had come, who would be welcomed and who would face his wrath? The assembly stirred as a faint light rose across the sea. The group's exact numbers were impossible to count for most of the figure's forms were lost against the rocky wall behind them.
Separated from the larger group stood gathered a smaller group of six. They stood nearer to the sea than the rest. They seemed confidant and steady, unlike the rest to the assembly, which stood trying to disappear into the rocky landscape. Five of the figures in the smaller group were tall beneath their cloaks, but for one, the cloak could not hide the short round figure beneath.
The torches on the canyon walls suddenly lit. Two bonfires on each side of the canyon opening sparked to life and in stood another cloaked figure. His walk was strong and sure. All heads of the people assembled bowed.
Voldemort raised his hands and spoke, "My fellow loyalist to the pure bloods of the wizarding world we are here tonight to witness the selection of a new Order. An Order stronger and more united than has ever come before. An Order which shall reign unopposed forever!"
The assembly cheered
Voldemort continued" A select few of our Death Eaters have proven themselves apart from the others. They have earned my trust in all things."
Voldemort's thin white hands indicated the six at the center of the group.
"These few will be my counsel in all things that concern our new Order. Soon we will no longer have to hide ourselves in dark canyons or beneath cloaks for we now have Death Eaters in place in all the most vital organizations in the wizarding world.
Another cheer rose from the crowd.
" Now let me introduce to you my Counsel. Dolores Umbridge. It is through her cunning and determination that we first removed Dumbledore from Hogwarts and ministry insider. Lucius Malfoy respected leader of pure blood wizarding families. Carmeinian Barnish director of muggle assaults. Portencia McNair, Daily Prophet insider and conveyor of the pure-bloods message. Comander Grannet Goyle, trainer of new Death Eater and Coordinator of mass assaults." He pauses. "And finally the man who will be at my right hand. a confidant in all things, a wizard whom has proven himself invaluable in the destruction of Albus Dumbledore, a Wizard who through great personal peril has brought about this shift in power. My friends may I present Severus Snape."
Applause and mummers rumbled through the crowd.
"Yes, everything is in place for our new domination but I warn you all to have patience soon the time will come for action. Only one young obstacle stands in our way."
Voldemort's voice grew cold and quiet.
"But he now is alone and will not withstand the forces against him. My friends and my Loyalist who stand for what is still pure in the wizarding world, soon all power will be ours and your rewards great. TO VICTORY!"
The crowd cheered and flames leapt from the fires on all sides. Voldemort raised his hands to the sky and was gone.
