On the forest outskirts, Bellatrix Lestrange, and what was left of Lord Voldemort, stood. They stood by and watched the castle above for movement or signs of life. Bella wasn't sure of the time or date or what year it was. Her eyes were squinted, as the sight of sunlight blinded her. She hadn't stepped from the forest for nearly two years. Being the ghost like figure Voldemort was, this light didn't bother him. He hadn't explained his plan or even spoken on the way to the forest edge, he had just walked gently, almost gliding, but with such malice, such murder in his eyes, it was hard not to be afraid, even in death, when he could do nothing more than wave a finger at you. But this was what Bellatrix feared more. Was the fact that, now in death, he could hurt no one, and not be hurt, but not be with her properly. Her heart yearned for her master to love her with as much love and compassion she did for him. Her loyalty to the wrong kind was dangerous.
It was at the forest edge when Voldemort spoke. He held up a long fingered hand for Bellatrix to stop and said, 'Do your homework, Bella. I want research of any notorious villain, known to strike fear and bring destruction. Go!'
'But, my Lord, how do I begin? Where do I go?'
'Just bring me research. Books anything! I want it soon!'
'My Lord, may I ask what your plan is?'
'Just go!'
With that, Bellatrix quietly snuck up to the school. She eventually realised there wasn't much point in sneaking, because it was the summer holidays, so there was no one around. Not even Hagrid.
Bellatrix quietly opened the doors and entered the school. It was still in repair from the battle of Hogwarts, but it seemed to be regaining its former glory. She got to the library, and searched for books on modern muggle fantasies. Ergh, what muggles read nowadays! She skimmed the books of superheroes and super villains and ancient and new 'baddies', until she had come up with eight. Eight villains. Unknowing and ignorant to the malicious plan her Dark Lord was unveiling, she took the list back to Voldemort, with a collection of 'comics' and books.
once returned to the place where Voldemort was, he informed him of what she learned. That the school was free from disturbance, and gave him the books and list. He looked down the list and smiled.
'Bella, this is good work. Now, I understand that most, if not all, of these villains are dead? Well, read down the list, and use the resurrection stone to bring them to me. Now!'
Bellatrix did as her master told her. One by one, the faces of those she had read of appeared before them. Stunning, malicious and deadly.
