Next day, I tell Remus everything Marvolo told me, I can honestly say I am panicking. Caring for Marvolo never factored into my plans. I was willing to have an amiable relationship with him and sex is great. But I never planned on it being more than that.
"I think you should give him a chance, cub." Remus tells me.
"Moony, this is Voldemort we are talking about, the person who killed my parents and he is the reason Sirius is dead. He knew I will be forced to sign the marriage contract but he still proposed it. How can I just forgive all that?" I cry.
"You don't have to forgive him cub and no one is asking you to. But I am asking you to put past behind and work for a better future. Your parents and Sirius will all want to happy rather than you avenging them at the cost of your own happiness. Think about it, cub." He leaves me to my thoughts.
I don't know what to do. Voldemort is the monster I have hated since I was eleven. He represented everything wrong in my life. He took my parents from me and sentenced me to ten years of prison with the Dursleys. He was the reason I did not have my godfather with me. I had to struggle to survive each year at Hogwarts because of him. I lost my chance to love and have a family I wanted because of him. How can I just forget everything and learn to care for him and may be love him someday.
If I think about it rationally, yes Voldemort took my parents from me. But he was insane at the time, I had done some research in the Black library and it is reasonable to assume that he was telling the truth about his mental state. Also the one to sentence me to a childhood in hell was Dumbledore, not Marvolo. I could have had a happy childhood with any light wizarding family, but no, Dumbledore needed his weapon pliable. Dumbledore is the Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot. He could have ensured that Sirius had a fair trial. But that would have meant that I was with my godfather and not with the Dursleys. So Dumbledore left him to rot in Azkaban.
Each year at Hogwarts it may have been Voldemort who threatened my life but it was Dumbledore who threw me to the wolves so to speak. Maybe it was all Dumbledore's way of testing me or maybe he wanted me to die one of those times, I don't know nor do I care to know. But the facts remain that Voldemort may have been trying to kill me but it was Dumbledore who made my life hell.
On my wedding day, I had vowed to myself that I won't associate Marvolo with Voldemort. Maybe I can do as Remus suggested and leave Voldemort in the past. Marvolo is my husband and he has been nothing but perfect husband since our marriage. Maybe I can work with him to build a better life after all both of us want the same thing, a family to love and cherish.
But what to do with my plans of revenge; I am not ready to give up my revenge even for Marvolo. He does not care about the Weasleys, Granger or Moody. He will only rejoice on downfall of Dumbledore. But he may have problem with my plans for Snape, the bastard is after all the best potions master available. Maybe if Marvolo sees my memories of the potions classes he will understand. I have to at least try; if I am going to work with Marvolo to build a proper relationship then honesty is the first step.
I ask Dobby to bring me a pensieve from the Potter vaults. I put memories from my first year to my planning with Remus after marriage in pensieve. I hope he takes it well, if not well it is not like I will be heartbroken or anything. Now I just have to wait for Marvolo to return home and get it over with.
I waited anxiously in my living room as Marvolo is getting refreshed in his bathroom. I am a bit scared; this is the Dark Lord who may not take kindly to my manipulations. He may not be able to harm me directly but he can still order his followers to hurt me. I am hoping that the fact he wants an heir from me will keep him from lashing out if he got angry.
"What happened? Why are you so anxious?" Marvolo asks me from the doorway.
I take a deep breath, "You know about my childhood, but you don't know about my life. You can forget everything Snape told you. So I decided to show you some of my memories." I say motioning towards the pensieve.
"Whatever is in those memories, I promise it will be okay." He kisses me softly and enters the pensieve.
Damn, I truly hate my Gryffindor side, always acting impulsively. Why do I have to show him my memories? I did not even talk to Remus before acting. Well it is not like he is going to kill me and I can take whatever else is coming. I pace back and forth, waiting for Marvolo to finish viewing my memories. Whatever his reaction may be, I am not going to give up on my revenge. I steel my resolve just as he steps out of the pensieve.
He is laughing uncontrollably as he drops down on the couch. Did I break him? I look at him worriedly. He is the Dark Lord he should not be so easy to break. I slowly place my hand on his forehead.
"Are you alright?" I ask him.
He captures my wrist in firm grip and tugs me into his lap. "You, pretty, are unique. Did anyone tell you that? Gryffindor boldness tempered with Slytherin cunning, ruthless towards your enemies and endlessly compassionate towards others. You, my consort, are perfect for me."
Now this I was not expecting. "So you are not going to stop me? Even Snape, I thought you valued him highly."
"No I am not, I am going to sit back and watch you destroy your enemies. I do not value Snape, I value his potions. Now that I am overlord of wizarding Britain, I can easily find another potions master. Did you know it was Snape who told me about the prophecy?"
"What?"
"O yes and he asked me to give your mother to him after I have killed both you and your father. He fancied himself in love with your mother. That is why he hates you so, you are the constant reminder that James Potter won the girl he wanted."
That bastard, death is too merciful for him; I am going to make him suffer. I will destroy him utterly until there is nothing left of him. He will beg for death before I am through with him. Is it not ironic that the bastard is going to be madly in love with me. I am going to make him beg for even tiniest of attention from me.
My mental rant is cut short when Marvolo kisses me passionately. "Do you know you look so sexy when you are plotting something evil?" he informs me.
"And you are irresistible all the time." I smile at him my impish smile and he laughs.
"If I give you some invaluable information in your revenge against the Weasleys, what will you give me as a reward?" he asks me mischievously.
First lesson of making a deal with a Slytherin, never make an open ended deal. So what is going to compare to my revenge against the Weasleys. What he values most is the power and darkest magic is the strongest magic he wants.
"An unlimited access to the Black family library." It contains some of the darkest spell only available to members of the Black family.
"Not what I had in mind but it will do." Marvolo says, "Five generations back, Elizabeth Weasley was engaged to Lucien Malfoy, before her bonding she eloped with a muggleborn. Her brother Bilius Weasley, then Weasley Lord, refused to take any action, Malfoys appealed to the Wizengamot and won, declaring Weasleys Blood Traitors. Blood Traitors means that they are outcasts in Wizarding community, no one will employ them, no decent witch will marry into that family and they lost Weasley Estate to the Malfoys."
"They will remain Blood Traitors until they give the next female Weasley to the Malfoys in marriage." The next female Weasley means Ginny.
"So Ginny has to marry Draco." I ask excited for her fate.
"Yes and No. The reason Weasleys have so many children is because they were trying to have a girl. When Ginerva Weasley was born, Weasleys got jobs and small dealings with Wizarding community because everyone is expecting them to marry her to Malfoy heir."
"But Weasleys are Dumbledore's pets and he was not to let that happen so after a year of your parents deaths, he signed a betrothal contract between you and Weasley girl as your magical guardian. No one would have objected to the Boy-Who-Lived getting the girl of her dreams after all. That plan went down the drain when I asked for you. But you can be sure that Dumbledore is trying to find someone influential enough to get away with marrying the girl."
"What would happen if she marries just any one." I ask curiously.
"Weasleys will be outcast from the Wizarding community completely. They and their descendents will no longer be welcome in Wizarding world."
"What will happen to her husband and his family?"
"Her husband will be outcast. If his family disowns him, they will not be effected." He says.
"What will happen to Charlie and the twins?" Weaslys will include all of them and I don't want anything happening to Charlie, who is innocent and the twins who are my brothers.
"Charlie being the second son is the Prewett heir, he will be not be affected if he disowns his family. The twins on the other hand will need to become Protectorates of an Ancient and Noble house, they will then be allowed to form a new branch of the Weasley family which will be exempt from their ancestors and their family's actions."
This is the perfect plan. It will destroy whole Weasley family in one swoop. Now I just need to figure out a way for Ginny to get pregnant so that she is forced to marry the father of her child and thus sealing the fate of her entire family.
"Thank You." I kiss Marvolo enthusiastically, "For that I will give you a reward. Be in Auror offices tomorrow at ten to take down Mad-eye Moody." Moody is the one who single handily put a lot of Marvolo's Death Eaters in Azkaban so no doubt, Marvolo will enjoy his downfall as much as I.
