A/N: I own nothing
Tyki Mikk checked his pocket watch and nodded before closing it and tucking it back into his pocket. Taking one last drag from his cigarette, he dropped it onto the ground and extinguished it with his heel before moving forward and easily slipping into the grounds of the Malfoy Manor. He needed to retrieve a specific person for the Earl and said person needed to be alive but the Earl never said anything about anyone else in the manor being left alive. He also had a snake he needed to catch... much to his displeasure. He wasn't exactly found of snakes but he would do the task assigned to him and he would do it without complaints (mostly anyways).
-~~meanwhile~~-
Road Kamelot hummed as she walked down Privet Drive, swinging Lero in time with the melody. She had a special mission from Millennie and she was more than eager to do it. Her mission was to deal out justice, her own personal brand of justice since the Earl couldn't be here to do it himself. Stopping at house Number Four, she giggled before a vicious smirk bloomed across her face. Humans might be easy to break but she was going to draw this out for as long as possible. This was going to be fun!~
-~~at Hogwarts~~-
Albus Dumbledore paced the length of his office, wondering where he had gone wrong. His pawn was slipping through his fingers and he was fumbling to regain control of her. Everything he had done to keep that man from his pawn would all be for naught if he couldn't get her away from him. Yes, Dumbledore had known of the marriage contract but that didn't stop him from trying to override it with a marriage contract between Clio and Ron. It wouldn't have been good for his plans had that man known of Lily and James' deaths and taken his pawn away. No, he had needed his pawn to be malleable and that would've only happened if she had been with the Dursleys. Everything had been going smoothly until this summer. Those blasted goblins had gone behind his back and alerted that man to the Potter girl's condition. His plans could still be salvaged if he could get her away from that man and if it took a few Imperius curses and binding spells to keep her subdued and compliant then so be it. That man was a dark, vile creature that didn't even deserve to be called human and he would not have him corrupting his pawn and (eventual) martyr. He would've dealt with that man by now if that creature wasn't so damn elusive and he himself wasn't so busy supervising his little pawns in his war against the Dark Lord he had created.
"Good evening, Headmaster." Dumbledore quickly spun around, his wand instantly drawn and pointing at the stranger currently lounging in one of his chairs. The man was large and rotund with sickly gray skin and a massive grin that seemed to be permanently stuck on his face.
"Who are you?" demanded Dumbledore, noting that all the portraits were mysteriously empty.
"You wound me, Albus Dumbledore~" said the man as he stood "But I was in a different form the last time you saw me, so you probably don't recognize me~" the man walked over to Fawkes' perch "It was the summer of eighteen ninety-nine and you were about eighteen at the time~" he began to stroke the firebird's feathers, making the phoenix trill gently "Your sister had just died and you wanted nothing more than to have her back because you were feeling dreadfully guilty for causing her death with your stupidity. However, when the opportunity was offered to you, you rejected it and rather angrily too. Singed my one of my favorite hats with a blasting curse if I remember correctly~"
"You... You're-!" said Dumbledore.
"Correct~" said the man as he turned to Dumbledore "I am he for he is me. I am the Earl of the Millennium, the Thousand Year Duke, and a man whom time cannot touch. I am the devil that tempts humanity and who traps those that I lure in with my sweetly whispered words in the skin of demons~"
"Confringo!" said Dumbledore and a flaming explosion encased the Earl. Dumbledore was confident that not even a vile human like that man could've survived a direct hit from that curse, especially with the power he had put behind it but as the explosion faded away, his eyes widened in horror. The Earl was standing there, small flames still dancing across his body, only looking the slightest bit singed while his form had shifted to one that Dumbledore recognized. He was Earl Adam Millennium! Except, his skin was now an umber gray color and several cross-like markings now decorated his forehead.
"Now look what you've done." chided Adam "You singed yet another one of my favorite hats."
"Avada Kedavra!" said Dumbledore and a jet of green light shot out at the Adam, who merely grinned before disappearing.
"Did you think I would just stand there and let you kill me, Albus?" said the Adam, once again lounging in one of the chairs "You must be getting senile in your old age." He flicked his wrist and Dumbledore's wand flew into his hand.
"What sort of dark monster are you?" said Dumbledore. A toothy and all around disturbing grin appeared on the Earl's face.
"I am the man who has destroyed humanity once and will do so again." said the Adam as he stood, shadows twisting and slithering out of their corners and from under furniture to meet his shadow "I am the Maker of Demons and the bringer of Darkness." he was in front of Dumbledore now "I am the Patriarch of the Family of Noah, who are the true Apostles of God. I am also the true master of the Deathly Hallows which I used to sow the seeds of discord amongst you arrogant wizards." his eyes practically glowed as he narrowed them "I am also fiancé to Clio Calliope Potter, who is the reincarnation of my original wife, Eve, and I am here, Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, to exact vengeance for the crimes you have committed against her." darkness seemed to grow and deepen all around Adam, whose eyes glowed ominously under the shadows cast by the brim of his hat while his grin became manic and shark-like and it practically split his face "You will learn that nobody, and I mean Nobody, messes with what's mine. Even if you have to die learning that."
-~~back at the Malfoy Manor~~-
Tyki hummed in appreciation as a horde of newly born Teez fluttered above the mangled bodies strewn all about him. They certainly were more powerful than a normal Teez but they were just as beautiful and just as deadly.
"Avada Kedavra!" Tyki sighed in annoyance as the spell passed harmlessly through him. That's the forty-second time someone tried that rather annoying curse on him. Honesty, didn't they realize that it didn't work on him after the first twenty or so times? Or were they just that idiotic?
"Magic has no affect on me." he said as he pulled out a cigarette "I thought you imbeciles would have realized that by now." he lit his cigarette and inhaled deeply before turning to face his target "Or has all the inbreeding destroyed any and every brain cells you possess, Tom Marvolo Riddle?" Tyki exhaled a cloud of silvery smoke as the man before him fumed before he started throwing more spells at him. The spells passed harmlessly through Tyki, who rolled his eyes in annoyance before vanishing into the ground and reappearing behind the man. One solid blow was all it took to knock the guy out.
"Now, time to find that snake." said Tyki before heading deeper into the Manor.

Sennen ko wa sagashiteru
Daiji na haato sagashiteru
Anata wa atari tashikameyou
Road Kamelot sang and kicked her legs as she sat on a wooden table while Tyki leaned against it, shuffling through a deck of cards and smoking as they waited for the Earl to return.
"Could you not sing that song?" said Tyki, his cigarette dangling from his lips as he spoke "It gives me the creeps." Road stuck her tongue out at him before she keep on singing.
Sennen ko wa sagashiteru
Daiji na haato sagashiteru
Anata wa atari tashikameyou
She perked up when the door opened and she smiled brightly when the Millennium Earl came into the room followed by a pair of Akuma, who were dragging a limp Albus Dumbledore between them.
"Millennie!~" said Road happily as she jumped off of the table and ran over to him.
"Hello Road~" said the Earl as the Akuma chained Dumbledore to the wall next to Voldermort, who was still out cold "Did you finish your mission?~"
"Yep!" said Road with a huge grin "And I did it above and beyond your specifications Millennie!"
"Perfect!~" said the Earl before turning to Tyki "Did you get the items, Tyki-pon?~" Tyki pointed at the burlap sack sitting on the table, which twitched every now and then, and a few assorted items piled next to it "Excellent~" The Earl reached into the pocket of his overcoat and pulled out a beautifully crafted diadem with a large, oval, brilliant cut, blue sapphire set in it and he set it with the other items.
"Can I ask why you needed such random items?" asked Tyki.
"These aren't ordinary items, Tyki-pon~" said the Earl "That man," he motioned to Voldermort "Has turned them into Horcruxes. Or soul containers in layman's terms. I'm going to destroy them right in front of him, one by one~"
"Ooh! Can I help? Can I? Can I? Can I?" asked Road as she practically bounced.
"Of course, Road~" said the Earl before turning to Tyki "Would you like to help, Tyki-pon?~" Tyki sighed before a toothy grin crept onto his face.
"I'd be honored to help you, my dear Millennium Earl." he said as he extinguished his cigarette.
