Death they say is the beginning of another chapter, but there are some that are afraid of death. Those who wont great Death like an old friend and gladly join him. Many have tried to defy death, none seceded; Only thought they have. As the world began to turn towards the dark, a bright flower began to shine, and Tom Riddle or as those that fallow him call him Lord Voldimort wanted to find the flower and snuff it out. He was becoming annoyed with those around him as he sat at the head of the table listening to them argue back and forth with each other. The room casted with a green glow of light, the masks that where created sat upon the table to the right of their owner.

Voldimort had been able to take up the Mantle of the Heir to Slytherin, but he wasn't able to tap into the old magic of the family. There are those who believe that the old magic only reveals its self to those that are worthy, those who fallow the light believe that he is unworthy of the mantle of a founders heir. Around him he had the loyalty of the Malfoy's, Nott's, Avery's, Crabb's, Goyle's, Flint's, Parkinson's, and majority of the Nobel Families that are close to the dark arts. The only family that had stayed away was the Nobel House of Black. Voldimort was close to having the families loyalty, but Cygnus had stayed to the sidelines originally, stating that he needed to solidify his position in the family and Cygnus's cousin, Orion, husband to his older sister agreed when Lord Voldimort had spoken to the two of them. Especially when Acturus the pasted head of the family passed the Mantle on to his eldest son Alphrad, who refused to marry. Some thought the move was the wrong one, but it was still respected. Voldimort lost his chance when Orion's wife decided to murder her eldest son and try to appoint her second son to the mantle of Heir to the Black family.

Now the heirs of the Black family where out of his reach, one because he was against the blood purity that the black family held so high, and the other for another reason unknown. But those who have either graduated or are still at that blasted school believe its because of the Greek Heiress of the Prewett family.

Since the Heiress has turned up, he has lost his footing in some attacks, the closeness he had with being able to gain complete loyalty of the Black family. Yes he had the undying loyalty of Bellatrix Black ne Listrange, but she was the wife of the Listrange Heir, Rodolphus Listrange. Though it was not the dame as to having one of the Heirs of the house of Black in this room, Bella didn't have the pull that Heirs Sirius or Regulus would have in the Wizardmount.

"All I am saying is that she hasn't done anything to prove she my perhaps possess the gift of the Oracle." Crabb commented.

"Are you saying that our Lord waisted his time meeting her?" Avery spoke up.

"My son was able to watch her the last few years till he graduated this passed year. The girl was able to stay out of harms why for the most part, as though she knew something was coming." Malfoy drawled at the other two men.

Voldimort had his follower's look into the Heiress, Aphrodite Prewett. The girl who till her 5th year attended the Institute in Greece, her grandparents had passed and was able to be brought back to England by the girls Mother. Those they spoke to said that the girl was very bright, some even said she was brilliant, but she never participated in the practical display of the darker side of Dark arts. The Greek Wizarding world had more of a blurred line when it came to light and dark magic. They saw the gray as those in Brittan saw either light or dark. So to hear that the girl treaded more on the light side of magic regardless of her upbringing was intriguing.

"Though that son of yours lost the person you had in the Gryffindor house over this passed summer." Nott spoke up.

"An unforeseen event. But the best evidence we have it the mysterious Letter our Lord had been sent, and the fact that the child is in possession of a powerful grim." Malfoy sneered.

"Even with the letter, it could be someone who wants to get back at the Prewett family by putting them on Our radar more then others. And speaking of the Grim, there are others who where never Oracle's in possession of a Grimm." Goyle hissed.

"She seems to be smitten with my darling cousin, its quite revolting honestly. He deserves better in my opinion." Bellatrix laughed eerily.

Since the Letter was scent to Voldimort, they have been trying to track down the sender, which was still to be tracked. It was as though there wasn't a magic signature on the envelope or the letter it's self. Most are never able to completely cause their magic signature to be completely undetectable. But whom ever sent this had done so. His followers had begun to watch the Prewett family heads as they went about their days, in Diagon, at the Ministry but nothing to indicate that the contents of the Letter where true. Some had even tried to pass through the wards of the Prewett Manor when none where home to look through the home to find anything. But none had been able to pass through the wards.

Voldimort remembered the Ginevra Greengrass ne Prewett was a talented witch that created emencly strong warding. The she was sought after to become a curse breaker, which she had done while her husband Finnegan Prewett had gone to be an Aurar for a time. Voldimort now believes that the Prewett manor was protected by various wards that where created by Ginevra. That being said, they may never be able to enter the manor till the family was dead or passes away.

Some of his followers also kept tabs on the Weasley family since they are close to the Prewett family. But none could find the evidence that the letter gave them.

"Regardless of what has been found or not, that child is in possession of a keen mind and extordinay high magical aptitude. I saw something flash across her eyes when I met her as if she knew who I was." Voldimort finally spoke causing the rooms arguments to seize to exists.

He made eye contact with everyone in the room, knowing that he held such an imposing command of the room and those in it was a powerful feeling. One that he thrived on, even in school after those of his house found out his family tree lead to Slytherin himself. Many in his house had stirred clear of him after his first year where he transfigured Abraxus into a albino rat one night. But majority gravitated towards him after he displayed his power in classes and outside the classroom. As a student Voldimort had thrived on the pure-blood etiquette books he found in the library and was able to charm many of the Slytherin families to his side.

He was even seeked out by Grindlewald as a student before his untimely defeat by Dumbledore. Voldimort had taken some of the ideals of Grindlewald for the bases behind his own ideals. But he was never able to charm the one wizard that many claim to be one of the most powerful since Merlin or the Founders them selves; Dumbledore. Dumbledore never believed the charming lad routine he used on the other Professors and students. He also adapted many of the beliefs that Slytherin himself believed into his own Ideals.

Voldimort hated what had happen to the women who gave him life. Drugging a muggle with a love potion to get away from her family and then having said muggle leave her when she stopped giving him the potion. Voldimort could only speculate what had gone on now since he had killed his muggle family and set his mothers brother up for the killings.

"I want you all to continue watching the Prewett Family. We maybe able to find something to use to swayed them our direction. Or we can find what we are looking for on the child."

"My lord, we no longer have someone close to the group of students that she tends to spend her time with. Regulus Black had made it clear that my own son is to leave her alone after he threatened her." Avery bowed his head.

"A foolish attempt by your son to get the Black boy back on the right path. Here I thought you all knew of the Story of Ophiuchus Black."

"Are you saying that the boy is like Ophiuchus Black?"

Malfoy asked.

"From the stories of Ophiuchus Black and how Regulus Black treats the Lady Aphrodite, I would say that it is very likely that Regulus inherited Ophiuchus's personality traits."

"If that darling cousin had inherited the traits of Ophiuchus then I think it would be thrilling to tease and threaten his lovely bird." Bella laughed.

"Bellatrix, you are not to lay a hand on the girl as of now. Maybe in the future to come but now I want you all to follow and watch." Voldimort spoke giving his hand a wave signaling that his Death Eaters are free to got

Everyone slowly got up from the table and grabbed their masks. After they all left Voldimort leaned on his elbows and folded his hands under his chin in thought. He believed that someone in Dumbledore's most inner circle of the Blasted Order of the Phoenix of his had sent the letter. It was only a matter of when he find out who it was. Dumbledore either had an enemy or the Prewetts did.
