Ello Lovelies!

So the last chapter was exciting hopefully you all enjoyed it as well this next chapter as well. Also my apologies for such a wait between the last exciting chapter and this one. Had a slight bit of writers block. Which there maybe another story coming from my random writings. We get to see the other sides outcome. Here we go.

Enjoy!

Avery watched from the sidelines as Grayback, Nott Sir., Dolohov Sir., and Yaxley Sir where tortured by the Dark Lord. He wasn't happy that the group had let young Black, Lady Prewett and Dumbledore go after they where sent to retrieve the ring that he had stashed there. Avery had over heard the girls talking about something suspicious before the mission the Dark Lord had sent the men on. He relayed it to his father who brought him before the Dark Lord.

The boy had his mind forced open by the one his father served so loyally. The man that he him self will fallow as he was offered up to their Lord at a young age. Avery wasn't a fan of Lady Prewett, even more so that she had some how seemed to unhinge the Heir of Slytherin, the Dark Lord, Lord Voldimort; which ever name that you call him. The red eyes man seemed to be beyond angry that the ring was not able to be retrieved. But Grayback had seemed to bite Black who was fighting along side Prewett. Knowing that Grayback wasn't remorseful that he had possibly forced his own curse onto the Black Heir also caused a portion of the Lords anger. Voldimort had made Grayback a deal, not to turn those he sees as followers and those who are potential followers; which even with the Black heir's continues refusal to his invites, Black was still a potential follower. Avery didn't see it anymore, the chit has made that impossible now. Malfoy had tried to get rid of her by trying to curse her, Avery himself had threatened the girl and then was threatened himself by Black.

"Now, I know what the girl is as no one can know about what I have hidden." The Lord sneered as he turned away from his victims.

"What is that M'Lord?" Malfoy asked from his spot next to him.

"Oh, her Greek lineage passed down a unique gift to the child. One that many fake." Voldimort smirked as he sat in the chair infront of the fire place.

"I've looked into her Lineage, nothing unique comes up." Malfoy spoke as if he wasn't impressed at all.

"Oh her gift wouldn't have been documented as it was to have been a sacred gift bestowed by the gods according to the Greeks."

"What gift would they believe was one of such importance?"

"The gift to speak to the fates of magic." Voldimort looked at each person in the room.

"That gift died out long ago in Greece." Malfoy Sr scoffed.

"It just wasn't documented enough after the old ways died out."

Avery knew that many old gifts from the Ancients have died out due to many factors, one of which is those of lesser blood. The Black family used to have the ability to change their appearance at will or Metaphoric about 10 generations before. The Avery Family also had a gift that was documented, the ability to here the voices of the creatures that roamed around them. But as many gifts have died out The Avery Families had as well.

"M'Lord, you believe this bird has that gift?" Avery's father asked.

The Dark Lord turned and gave Avery Sir a look that possibly could kill. He watched as his father looked on without wavering from the question he had asked that was on many others minds. Rob had even questioned many times why Regulus Black was drawn to the bird but never asked after he was threatened by Black.

"She knows about which she should not, knows where to find certain artifacts. All paperwork proves that my other theory of time travel is incorrect. So the only other option is that she is truly gifted."

"But if that's what you believe, why not take her for your self?"

"Because I cannot, she is protected by blood wards on her family home and also under the protection of Houses Potter and Black. Which I hope to have join our cause, so I would not like to anger the heirs."

Over the last Rob watched as many things have changed. One the Marauders had all but stopped pranking those in Slytherin unless provoked, which hadn't been often as many students where looking at planning their lives after they left the school. The most distinctive change being in Regulus Black. The boy used to nearly worship the Dark Lord, but something had changed him. Rob believed that it may have been a love potion just as Malfoy had thought. But once the Malfoy Heir slipped the antidote into Blacks goblet, it was confirmed that Black wasn't under a potion. Avery had performed Fanitie on Black to see if he was under the Imperious Curse, and again that was a fail. Lord Voldimort was not happy that everything Malfoy, Snap, Avery had tried failed. Snap even tried a potion that was said to terminate any sort of potion that could cause one to change, that was even a fail.

But the possibility that Black was using the girl for her gifts was a massive possibility. The Black family was one who would see the girls gifts as those worthy of becoming apart of the Most Noble House of Black. If that was true, then Regulus must be trying to make up for Bella's sister running away with a mudblood. But why when it obviously wasn't needed as the current head of house took over his and his brothers custody after their parents nearly killed Sirius Black?

Avery was so caught up in his own thoughts that he hadn't noticed that the Dark Lord had dismissed his followers. If everything he had heard that night was true, then he threatened the most powerful Seer that has lived. And Voldimort wanted her under his thumb, since now the bird knew and was looking for the artifacts that Voldimort had hidden. Even though Avery had no clue as to what the artifacts could do, it was very important to his Lord.

"Son." Rob's father spoke gaining his attention.

"Yes Father?" He raised an eye brow at the man across from him.

"Keep an eye on the girl. I've heard that Mr. Black was able to gain permission to sit in for his NEWTS early as he has been taking NEWTS level classes and the top of his own year. I want to know every move they make." Avery Sir spoke sternly.

"May I ask why father as the Dark Lord hadn't asked that during the meeting."

"I want to be a head of Malfoy as a favorite to the Cark Lord. I have a in at the school as his son was the one to lose his in with in Gryffindor tower."

Rob knew that his father had ambitions to over throw the hold on top death eater position that Malfoy had. He knew his father was not above using his own son to do so. Rob honestly hated his father, but until the Mantle is passed to him, he had to listen to his father's words and do his will. That is the curse of being an heir of a Pureblood family, all Heirs and Heiresses where at the mercy of their families Patriarch and head of Family. Rob had always seen that purebloods where superior to the mudbloods, but just as the other beings in their world they too had a place.

"Of Course Father, but Regulus may get a bit territorial if he catches me watching his bird." Rob agreed.

"So be it. I want to know what ever you hear about her doings."

"Yes father." Rob responded as he stood and walked out of the meeting room.

Knowing what possibly may happen if the Dark Lord found out that his father was aiming for a higher position in the ranks. He may face what Grayback, Nott, Dolohov, and Yaxley faced earlier in the evening; Torturer. Grayback was tortured as a result of turning Regulus Black, the others for failing to protect the artifact. One thing about his father was that he was prone to betraying his comrades or his supposed friends in private. Rob knew he would have to watch himself as to not get caught up in his fathers own schemes or enact the range of the Dark Lord or one Regulus Black.
