When The Dark Lord and Lucius stood for the door of the laboratory Lord Vordemorts explaned. "No one can enter unless he knows one sentence in Parseltongue. If you would enter with a spell or by force you will get instantly killed, wheater it is due to the curses I have placed or due to Nagini." "My Lord, there is no safer way to protect your laboratory.. Very few wizards speak Parseltongue indeed" Lucius replied. "Now, during your stay at Unfindable Mansion, I grant you to use my Laboratory and adjacent library. However you need to learn to speak this simple parsel sentence. 'see-ess saameesaa - eessaz shaama-soo'". while putting your wand against the lock.
'she ash saa me say - ees sas shama-zoo" Lucius tried. "You would have been killed by saying it like that" Lord Voldemort said dryly. He replied the sentence. "You called that sentence simple My Lord?" Lucius complained "Yes, It is," The Dark Lord replied" "Come try again" 'see ash saa-me-sa - eessas shama-soo" The Elder Malfoy tried. "It is ess, not ash" The Dark Lord corrected. "see-ess saameesaa - eessaz shaama-soo'" Lucius tried again. "Correct" The Dark Lord said. Now put the tip of your wand against the dore and say it again. Don't be too foolish to say it wrong"
Lucius did as said. He pulled his wand against the lock and hissed "see-ess saameesaa - eessaz shaama-soo'" The door opened. A gigantic snake slithered towards them.
"Marvolo," she hissed. while strangle herself around The Dark Lords legs "Who have you brought with you?" Lord Voldemort petted the snake "its Lucius" He hissed. "He is staying with me at the Mansion for a while". "Is he Ok?" She hissed "Yes, he is" Lord Voldemort hissed. "I granted him to use my lab. Would you please excuse him if he says the password wrong?" "Of course Marvolo" She hissed. "Now dear, would you like to meet him?" The Dark Lord hissed. "If you want me to" she hissed back.
The snake slithered slowly towards Lucius. "Lucius, Nagini wants to meet you" The Dark Lord explained. Lucius nodded. "Here, use this ear translator" Lord voldemort said holding a round silver ear clip. "Put it in your ear" he said while Lucius took the translator. He did as he was supposed to do and attached the thing to his left ear.
The Snake slithered itself up to Lucius' legs towards his waiste. "Lucius, Nice to meet you" she hissed. To Lucius astonishment he was able to form words out of the manny hisses of the snake. "Hi Nagini" he said aloud, wondering if the snake could understand him "Nice to meet you too" He carefully petted the snake like he saw his Lord did. "I like that" The snake hissed friendly. "Nice you like it" Lucius replied. "How are you going to spell the cloak you're carrying?" Nagini asked. "To make it more invissible than it is already" the Elder Malfoy replied "I might be able to help you with it" the snake offered. "You can do magic?" Lucius asked in astonishment. "Snakes have their own special magic" the snake explained. "Now lets go to work" Lord voldemort hissed to interrupt the conversation. "My Lord, How did you made that ear translator?" Lucius asked curious "I came up with it because of Wormtail do'nt speak or understand Parsel" The Lord explained. However, I made it so that it translate every language, human and animal." "Could come in handy when I go to china" Lucius muttered thoughtfully "You can have this one" The Dark Lord replied. "My Lord, a thousands of thanx" Lucius said.
When they walked into the Laboratory Lucius saw that it was enormous There was a passage to the right, possibly to the Library, and a door in the back. Wormtail was there working at a potion when he looked up. "M-Master, Do I have to leave?" He asked. "You may stay if you want." The Dark Lord replied. Lucius took a better look to the room.
At the back near the door were wardrobes filled with books, gemstones, bottles and vials. At the Left wall hung beams on which cutted herbs, roots and toadstools were layed spread out to dry There were other beams at the same wall where metal artifacts were standing and laying. In the far left corner stood a table with a pensieve a foe glass and other mirors on it, And at the right far corner stood a rack of of cauldrons. Different desks were standing in the middle of the room and a lectern was holding an in dragon leather bounded book. At the right wall near the pasageway were wardrobes with finished potions and other magical craftings, another wardrobe with extremely dark artifacts such as the Hand of Glory, and another holding common goods like quills, scrolls of parchment, spellotape and lots of other materials. "My Lord! this is awesome!" Lucius gasped. "I'd never have seen such a large and well furnished laboratory. Really, Even Severus hasn't such a nice workplace at his school" The Dark Lord nodded while looking at the inside of a kettle. "I needed something to do without my wand" he commented dryly. "Well, I think this potion is finished." He walked to a wardrobe to get an empty vial.
"My Lord, May I ask what potion you have brewed?" Lucius asked while folding out his cloak on a desk. "It's a De-aging potion" Lord Voldemort replied. "You know i'm getting to old and ugly" "But My Lord, that is a very dangerous potion" Lucius said worridly "It can kill you!" "I know" The Dark Lord replied "But I spend eleven years to figure it out. I needed a de-ageing potion that doesn't de-age my knowledge and power. I only have to test it on someone" Lucius smiled. "Not on me, I hope. But serious, It is very dangerous, but if it works My Lord, that would be great!" The Dark Lord smirked. "I'm a genius remember?" Both man grinned. Wormtail however tried to do his best to keep his face flat. He doesn't want to risk a Cruciatus from his Lord.
While The Dark Lord was pouring the liquid in a vial Lucius put out his wand and pointed at the cloak "Extundo panton magnus energo prospicio veneficus genus hominum sensus." he muttered. (repel all magical energy for human sight and other senses) Lucius continued "Extundo sensus et prospicio persona loricatus is amiculum." (Repel the seeing and senseing of the person wearing this cloak) "Extundo panton caliga magnus energo prospicio veneficus genus hominum sensus." Nagini hissed when Lucius has spoken his last spell. "Thank you, Nagini" Lucius said while pointing his wand again at the cloak and muttering the spell (repel all dark magic energy from human sight and other senses)
"Lord Voldemort was standing at the lecturn. He layed his hand on the in dragon leather bounded book and hissed something that Lucius thanx to his ear translator understand as
"Book of Darker deeds, I request to read, the chapter on phoenixes" He lifted his hand from the cover. The book opened itself and browsed through it pages until he found the requested chapter. Then it layed still as if it was just an ordinary book."
While Lucius spelled his cloak and The Dark Lord was reading, Wormtail was stiring in his kettle. "What are you brewing?" Lucius asked while thinking about what spell to use next. "s-sir, I-I'm trying my hands on the Draught of Living Death" Wormtail stammered. "I see" The Elder Malfoy said. "You weren't good at all with potions during your school years weren't you?" "Y-yes sir, but I wasn't good at all at school" Wormtail stammered. Lucius nodded. He muttered another few spells and finasly said "My Lord, I think the cloak is ready"
The Dark Lord looked up from his book and said "You think you can travel safe now?" Lucius nodded. "I think it will be pretty save traveling hiding under such a cloak and wearing the untracking necklace". "Good," The Dark Lord said. "Please prepare for traveling. then meet me at my room" and after saying that, The Dark Lord left the laboratory.
