Occult


"-only three Muggles? Lucius, I expected more from you..."

"I know, my Lord."

"Well, naturally, you'll have to be punishe-"

"WITCHES!"

Lord Voldemort, scourge of Wizarding Britain, overlord of everything evil, and all around mean guy, looked up to the entrance of the ramshackle farmhouse he was holding his Death Eater meeting in and simply stared at the people who had dared to interrupt him.

A group of Muggles stood at the door, crowded behind one of their priests, who was holding out a large cross and bible at them. All of the Muggles were quite clearly terrified, and it wasn't surprising. A number of large snakes were slithering around the room, candles were floating on their own and Voldemort looked less than human.

"It is a gathering of the occult!" the priest shrieked as he raised his cross higher. "Be gone, ye demons! Back to the depths of hell from whence you came forth to desecrate this holy land that our Lord has given us-"

As the man continued to ramble, Voldemort looked down at Lucius.

"I do believe this is your chance to redeem yourself."
