Hogwarts, A Real History

It was midnight at Little Hangleton, in the house that was previously owned by the Riddle. There were two men talking in the living room. The room was not lightened in any way; therefore nearly nothing could be seen.

"Have you made any progress, Severus?" said a cold and sinister voice.

Severus replied cunningly, "I have not found anything that is directly related to these mysterious deaths, but I have found something very interesting and possibly related to them, my lord."

"Oh really?" said the Dark Lord with a tone of disbelief, "Tell me more, about these things that you think that I might find intersting."

"I found a book…" said Snape

"What book?" asked Lord Voldmort.

Snape replied, "Hogwarts, A History, the unedited version…"

"What? Hogwarts, A History? Unedited? Why do you think I would be intersted in that?" Voldemort yelled at Snape angrily

The Head of Slytherin predicted that this would happen, and he said calmly, "In the unedited version, there was another reason for the great Salazar Slytherin to leave Hogwarts."

"Another reason? What reason?" the Dark Lord asked curiously, looking totally different compared to a moment ago.

"They got into an argument over a book… a book with unmeasurable powers" said Severus Snape

Lord Voldemort's eyes turned red when he heard the words 'unmeasurable powers', he asked eagerly, "Did it say what powers it had, or where it is now?" He sounded very desperate, and craved for an explaination from Snape.

Snape said plainly, "There were no direct descriptions of what powers the book has, and where the book is now, but there were hints."

Voldemort asked, "Did you copy down the passages?"

Snape replied, "Yes, I have…"

Before Snape finished his sentence, Voldemort interupted, "Show me when we have a little bit more light."

Snape drew out his wand and waved it slightly. The room was illuminated by the flames from the old candle sticks. After enlightening the room, Snape took out a parchment from his robes and handed it to Voldemort, who took the parchment with his pale hands with unnaturally long fingers. After taking the parchment Voldemort immediately put the parchment into his robes.

"I might need some wine while reading this," said Voldemort, after saying this he drew out his wand with his right hand and said, "Accio wine" After casting the spell, a bottle of red wine flew into his left hand. Lord Voldemort held the bottle of wine in his left hand for a moment, the cork of the bottle suddenly popped off. He slid his wand in his robe and took out a small glass cup from his robe. He poured the blood-like red wine into the glass. Voldemort passed the glass of wine to Snape, saying, "This shall be your reward."

Snape smiled as he accepted the wine, looking at it thinking, "Many people would die for a drink offered to them by He Who Must Not Be Named." After Snape finished thinking, Voldemort had already poured himself another glass of wine.

"To the death of Albus Dumbledore," said Voldemort, raising his glass and Snape followed. After both of them took a sip from their glasses Voldemort walked to his old rocking chair and sat down. He took out the parchment and started reading it, taking sips of wine occasionally:

Extract from Hogwarts, A Real History

One day, the four founders of Hogwarts discussed in the Grand Hall about different problems concerning the future of Hogwarts. One of the issues raised this day was about a book with unmeasurable powers, the power to control almost anyone's life and death. Salazar Slytherin suggested that the powers of this book should be used to punish people who opposed them, while the other three disagreed with him and thought that the book should not be used, because it is very dangerous. After having his proposal rejected by the other three founders, Slytherin left the Grand Hall in rage, as he left he cursed his three companions.

For a few days after the meeting, Slytherin stayed in Hogwarts, and built a Chamber because of his rage towards the three other founders for accepting muggle borns to the school, and rejecting his idea of using the book against their enemies. The chamber was intended to be opened by his descendent through their ability to speak in Parseltongue, and unleash a monster which would be controlled by the descendent to annihilate the muggle borns in the school. After building the Chamber, Slytherin left Hogwarts, and the book of extrodinary powers went missing. Historians think that Slytherin hid the book in his Chamber, while others suggest that he took it with him when he left.

After reading the extract, Voldemort smiled said, "I think that this book is what we are finding."

Snape asked, "Where do you think it is?"

Voldemort replied, "In the hands of a muggle."

Snape asked, "Why do you think a muggle has the book, master?"

Voldemort said, "Most of the people killed by this 'Kira' are muggles. I have a plan on how to get find this muggle."

Snape asked, "How?"

Voldemort smirked and did not reply Snape's question. Instead he asked Snape, "How is he?"

Snape asked, "Who?"

Voldemort replied, "You know who I'm talking about."

Snape said, "He is doing very well, he will be in Potter's year in the coming September."

Voldemort said, "I knew he was the right choice."

Snape said, "I better get going… before Albus Dumbledore suspects something." As Snape prepared to apparate, Voldmort said, "One more thing, did you tell Narcissa about the plan?" Snape replied, "Yes, I did. She made me swear an Unbreakable Vow to help Draco accomplish the mission." After saying this, Snape vanished and Voldemort started to laugh sinisterly as he thought of his great plan to annihilate anyone who opposed him once and for all.
