Voldemort knew that he needed a new body. The one he had now was so terribly weak and feeble that he resembled a deformed baby more than anything else.

Luckily for him he knew of a ritual that would give him a new body. Unlike what he had done with Quirrell last year he would be fully in control of this one. He would no longer need to feed off a host like some sort of a parasite.

They were right near the cemetery where his father lay buried, and anyone of his Death Eaters would be willing to give a part of themselves to him. In fact when he had mentioned that part of his plan Barty and Bellatrix nearly came to blows with each other over who should do the honor.

"I was the one to find our master!" Barty yelled at Bellatrix. "I have every right."

"I have spent the last few years in a prison cell! I need this to prove that I have not lost my faith in our Lord!" Bellatrix snapped back.

The two of them continued to bicker like children until Voldemort could stand it no longer. "Silence!" he yelled with as much force as his raspy voice would allow. Sure enough that shut the both of them up. "The two of you are my most loyal and followers. Either of you would be worth of giving your flesh." He saw pride flash in both of their eyes. "But I do believe Karkaroff will suffice as a candidate."

Karkaroff who had been keeping to himself in a corner suddenly became much more interested in the conversation at hand. "M-me my L-lord?" Karkaroff asked.

"That is what I said," Voldemort told him.

"B-but," Karkaroff began, "Barty and Bellatrix are your most loyal. They are even volunteering."

"Yes you are right," Voldemort said. "They are my most loyal, they have proven that time and time again. You on the other hand have not. So Karkaroff consider this a way for you to prove your worth. Show that you are worthy of being called my servant."

Voldemort saw a Karkaroff take a very visible swallow. "If that is your wish," Karkaroff said although it was very clear he was reluctant to say that.

"It is," Voldemort told him. Karkaroff gave a bow and returned to the corner of the room he was at previously.

"Now we just need the boy," Voldemort said. "He is the key to all of this. His blood is the one I need."

"We would have to kidnap the boy," Dolohov said. "It's the only way."

"I agree," Rookwood said. "But how would we go about it?"

"The winter break for Hogwarts is coming soon, yes?" Dolohov asked. "We can kidnap him from when he gets off the platform."

Barty was shaking his head. "A good plan if you want to get killed."

"What are you going on about?" Dolohov asked.

"Did you forget what I told you of the muggles that look out for him?" Barty asked. "My father is still under my control and from what he has told me they are extremely dangerous."

"Don't tell me you're afraid a bunch of muggles," Rookwood jeered. "We killed plenty of muggles in our little raids. Besides, we're dangerous too."

"From what my father told me they were able to overthrow the old Ministry in only a few days. They are not like ordinary muggles."

"So then what?" Rabastan asked. "I take it plucking the boy from his guardians place is out of the question as well. So what do we do?"

"If anything we would have to do it when the boy is on the train on his way back to school," Barty said. "The muggles won't be able to go with him on the train, and if he doesn't show back at school it will cause all sorts of problems with Dumbledore. Maybe if we're lucky one of them will kill the old man for us."

Voldemort he had to admit he was impressed with Barty's plan. Dumbledore had long been a thorn in his side so the idea that a wizard as powerful as the Headmaster would fall at the hands of a muggle.

"I like your plan Barty," Voldemort told his loyal supporter. "I like it very much. But there is a flaw: how would we get the boy if he were on the train? Polyjuice would take too long to brew."

Barty looked slightly put out. "A portkey," he finally decided on. "We can have a child of one of your followers make the boy touch a portkey. There are children who lost their parents to these muggles they might be willing to do it my Lord."

Barty was certainly eager to impress him. "Perhaps," Voldemort said. "Perhaps."

Back in Hogwarts Dumbledore sat at the staff table with the fellow professors as dinner was served. Evertthing seemed to be normal, except for the fact that Professor Snape was actually talking to someone when he usually just ate his meal in peace and quiet. Turning his head to the left he saw that it was none other than Esdeath.

What on earth could they be talking about? Despite his curiosity he didn't want to eavesdrop that would be rude. He was about to brush it off as nothing, but he heard what he believed to be the words of "Dark Lord" be spoken by Severus.

Now that caught his interest.

What possible reason could Severus have to be speaking with her about such matters? What would even bring this topic up? Esdeath whispered something to him, but he couldn't hear what it was.

He knew he probably shouldn't do this, but he cast a charm that lowered the volume of the hall, except for a small area around the two professors. The charm would make it appear as though the volume was normal, when in reality it had just been lowered. Now he could hear them clearly.

"-expects an update from me by the end of this week," Severus said to Esdeath.

"And the owl will go directly to him even without knowing the address he is at?" Esdeath asked.

"Yes," Severus said. "It is like how all owls deliver letters to students."

"Can't you put a tracking charm on it or something magical of the sort?" Esdeath asked.

"I could," Severus said, "but with the people he has with him like Bellatrix, she will most likely check the bird for any charms on it. When she found them my position would be compromised."

Bellatrix? But she was in Azkaban. She couldn't have escaped. Could she? Questions like these flooded into Dumbledore's mind.

"I see," Esdeath said. "It would appear we will just have to wait until we know exactly where your Dark Lord is hiding before we make a move."

That confirmed it they were talking about the Dark Lord. But why? Could he have possibly risen again? It didn't seem likely, but knowing Tom anything was possible.

This was not good. If Severus knew information on Voldemort then he wasn't telling him, instead he was telling a murderer such as Esdeath. Could he be going dark once again? Dumbledore would like to think not, but Severus still should have told him.

Dumbledore let out a sigh as he canceled the silencing charm that he had put in place. He had a feeling that something dark was fast approaching.
