Good job to all who guessed… by the way: anyone who didn't tell me what house to give points to, I gave points to Slytherin instead. I myself am a Slytherin. I will have more questions to answer later.

By the way… I spelled Em's name wrong last chapter it's supposed to be Emlyn not Emyln.

Thanks to all who reviewed!

Disclaimer: not mine… unfortunately…

Ch 10

Em sighed tiredly. He had too much to do. He suddenly heard a noise behind him. He sprang up and turned his wand onto the intruder. He lowered it. "You wanted something, Draco?"

Draco frowned. "Who are you really? You haven't told me yet! It's been two months since you have gotten here. When will you tell me?"

"Soon, but I need to tell Ginny Weasely first."

"Why?"

"Later, Draco, later."

Draco huffed. "Fine."

He left slightly put out. Em smirked at Draco's retreating form. "Soon, Serpent. All will be answered soon."

He put his wand away and sat down on the couch. He opened a book and wrote something in it. 'Stage Two is beginning.'

He closed the book and banished it back to his trunk. He stood back up and left the common room. He walked through the halls until he got to the Room of Requirement. He opened the door. A figure inside spun around. "Who are you!"

Em smirked. "Do you not recognize me?"

Draco paced in the common room. Several of the Slytherins had been required to come to a meeting, but Em had not showed up yet. 'Where is he?'

Suddenly the door opened and Em stepped inside. He noticed that the Slytherins were seated around the common room. He quietly found a spot to sit. Draco stopped pacing. "The reason why I called you all here is because I have been contacted by our lord Xavier." There were mutterings. Draco glared at them to fall silent. "Now. I have no idea what our lord wants besides that fact that he wants to talk to us. Now all we have to do is wait for him."

The Slytherins were quiet for a while, before Em couldn't take it anymore. He started laughing. Many of the Slytherins jumped and then looked at him. Em stood up. "He is already here." There were murmurs. Draco's eyes widened. "What?"

Em smirked. "Do not any of you recognize your lord?"

Suddenly Em's appearance changed and before them now stood the dark heir Xavier. The Slytherins immediately fell to their knees to bow in front of their lord. Xavier chuckled. "Stand up my friends. You did not know. That has changed and you now get to see your lord again. Now, have you done my orders?"

The Slytherins stood and nodded. Xavier grinned in approval. "Brilliant. Fetch those who have agreed. Draco, please go get Ginny."

All of the Slytherins bowed and they left to get those they had turned to the side of the dark. Xavier sat in the empty room until the Slytherins returned. Tonight the Serpents would grow in number.

Sometime later the Serpents returned. They stood in a circle around Xavier. Ginny went and stood beside her beloved. The Serpents had the new recruits kneel in front of them. The Serpents kept their faces bowed in a show a respect. This was a ritual to include their new companions; their job was now finished for the moment.

Xavier looked at the new recruits. "You have done well my friends. You will be rewarded, but for now you need to introduce your new companions."

One by one the Slytherins introduced the one they had recruited. Once it was done Xavier walked up to the first. The Ravenclaw had his head bowed in respect. Xavier bent down and tilted the boy's chin up. He stared into the boy's eyes. "You are truly loyal to me?"

The Ravenclaw nodded and Xavier saw no deception in his mind. "Then receive your mark."

Xavier pulled out his wand and whispered a word. A glowing snake appeared on the boy's left cheek. "You have your mark, but unlike my father's mark, it can be hidden with a glamour."

The boy bowed his head and then stood up to stand amongst his new friends and comrades. Xavier went on to the next new recruit. "Cho, you have realized your errors in where your loyalties lie."

"Yes, my lord."

"Good. Receive your mark."

Soon Cho also had the glowing snake on her left cheek. One by one Xavier initiated the new recruits into the Serpents. Their total number was 10 Ravenclaws, 5 Hufflepuffs, and 4 Gryffindors.

When they all had been initiated Xavier went and stood by the fireplace. The Serpents stood in front of him. "You have given your loyalty to me and you are my followers, but I still call you friends. Now, I will leave it to the one who recruited you to tell you the rules of the Serpents, but I will tell you a few things to prepare you. Your Serpent uniforms are the same as the Death Eaters except that your mask has a green serpent along the left side and your robes are not black but a deep green. Your recruiter will help you get this. One last thing, I warn you now that you will eventually become Death Eaters after you graduate, to prepare for that, we occasionally go on raids with the Death Eaters. I will not force you now, but you will have to learn how to kill and torture without it eating at your soul and killing your mind. Your recruiter will help with that.

You are now free to leave. Do not tell anyone about us unless specifically ordered and place a glamour on your mark before you leave."

The Serpents bowed and did what they were told. When the room became empty, the other houses going back to their common rooms and the Slytherins going to their rooms, Ginny wrapped her arms around Xavier's neck. "I've missed you."

"And I missed you." Xavier started to kiss Ginny. She responded enthusiastically. Xavier suddenly stopped. He grinned at Ginny's disappointment. He bent down and whispered in her ear. "Let's take this to my room shall we?"

Ginny shivered and nodded.

The next morning Em went down to breakfast. Now that the Serpents in Slytherin knew who really was, he was given small nods of respect. He smiled slightly and sent a greeting through the mark. Many greetings answered.

Though they hid it well, the Serpents not in Slytherin were confused. The Slytherin Serpents all hid their amusement. Em lay to rest the confusion of the non-Slytherin Serpents. They were shocked for a moment before bowing their heads slightly as to not bring attention to them.

Several weeks passed. The Serpents spent all of the free time training. Their lord's plan needed to be put into action soon. As the date grew nearer and nearer they trained even harder than ever. They also grew anxious, knowing what would happen if they failed.

The day finally arrived. Dumbledore watched, as several of his students seemed anxious. He passed it off as nerves. Today was an exam day to see how much the students knew so far, a practice test if you will.

He stood up to dismiss the students to their classrooms, when there was a resounding boom throughout the Hall. Several students screamed as the hall also shook. Filch came running in. "There are Death Eaters on the front lawn! Hagrid is keeping them at bay for the moment, but its not enough, Headmaster! You must do something!"

Dumbledore did not notice that some of the students smirked, and not just the Slytherins. Dumbledore quickly addressed the Hall, "Fifth years, bring the younger students to the dormitories quickly! Minerva, go call the Order! Teachers, Sixth years, and Seventh years follow me!"

Everyone did what he or she was told quickly. They quickly assembled in a group on the front lawn of the castle. Voldemort stood at the front of his troops with a smirk. He shot the Dark Mark in the air. The students and teachers tensed, but the Death Eaters did nothing. Everyone watched as Em walked forward. He turned and faced the students and teachers. "My friends! Today is our day to triumph! We will destroy our enemy!'

Dumbledore smiled at the young man. He may be a Slytherin, but he was good boy. Dumbledore suddenly paled at what happened next though. Em suddenly yelled out, "My Serpents, do what you have been trained to do!"

AS soon as he yelled that many of the student's robes changed into the robes of the Serpents. They then shot out several spells. Many of the students were dead or injured in the next few seconds. Dumbledore sighed a small sigh of relief when suddenly the three hundred strong Order appeared with a hundred or so Aurors.

Suddenly Em appeared in front of Dumbledore. He smirked. "I was under your nose for the longest time, headmaster. How does it feel to be betrayed in the highest degree?"

"Is your father a Death Eater, Mr. Kyne? Did Voldemort order your father to transfer you?"

Em laughed. "No old man. My father is no Death Eater. My father is their leader." Dumbledore gasped in shock. Em glamour faded and there stood Xavier. "Let me introduce myself. I am Xavier Riddle, son of the Dark Lord Voldemort. I am the Dark Heir to a Dark Empire. I am also your chosen executioner. Say good-bye and go on the next 'great adventure'." Xavier sneered at the frozen professor. "Avada Kedavra!"

Dumbledore tried to jump out of its way, but he was too slow. The powerful spell hit him and last thing he saw was Xavier's smirking face.

Cries of dismay welled up from the Light's side. The Dark then doubled their attack. The Light was slowly beaten back; the death of their leader had taken away their will to fight.

An hour later found the whole of Hogwarts bound in the Great Hall. All the tables were removed. Those who had survived the battle were now at their 'trial'. They would either die or join the Dark Lord.

Voldemort sat at the front in the, now dead, Headmaster's seat. Xavier sat at his side. The Death Eaters and Serpents stood around the Hall at the walls. Several walked through the Hall and picked out the Death Eater children to stand with their parents. When they were done they stood back at the walls. Then, one by one the rest were brought forward. Ginny was called up first. The Weaselys that were left were sobbing, thinking that the youngest Weasely would be killed. Ginny smirked, knowing that only her master and her lord could see it. Voldemort smirked. "Well, Ms. Weasely?"

Ginny walked up and bowed, kissing the hem of her master's robes. She then kissed the hem of her lord's robes. Xavier bent down and lifted her chin. "You do not bow to me, Ginny. You are above all other Death Eaters. You are me lover, not my servant."

Ginny stood and sat in her lord's lap. She kissed him softly and then turned to smirk at the rest of her family. Bill and Charlie hid their amusement. They were called up next and they went to stand by their comrades along the wall. Mrs. Weasely was openly sobbing. She and her husband were both killed.

Many of the Dark Lord's spies were found out that day, devastating the Light when they saw how strong the Dark really was.

The Ministry fell a week later. A week after that Bulgaria fell. Each week a new country would fall to the Dark. A few months later the Dark began their campaign on capturing the United States. They put up the best fight, but they too were defeated.

The Wizarding World were exposed to the Muggles. Muggles were captured and used as slaves. Light wizards were higher than muggles, but little of any real power. The only reason they were allowed to live was that the wizarding blood couldn't be left to die out. Children of the Light wizards were taken from them and raised as Dark Wizards. Any rebellions were killed.

Many years later, Voldemort died. He had been unable to find immortality. He died of old age. Xavier then took up the throne. He and his Queen, Ginny, ruled for the rest of time. Xavier had turned Ginny. Both, as vampires, had immortality. Voldemort had refused to be turned. No one knew his reasoning except for Xavier, but he would not say.

It's all done! Hope you all enjoyed it! Please do not ask for any sequels because I doubt I will ever write one. Please tell me what you though of this story and check out my other ones!
