::: Chapter 7 :::

The next few days had been nothing but busy for the four of them. The Dark Lord had drawn up an elaborate plan for the revival of the Death Eaters. They had moved in the Riddle Manor in Little Hangleton and assumed different identities. Each of them was given different names in order to be able to blend in again with society. Since the Riddle Manor had become their headquarters, charms had been put in place around the house so that it would look dangerous to onlookers but to the four of them and Sebastian, the manor is more than comfortable.

Voldemort had been quiet about why he had brought his half-brother along with him. None of them had even dared to ask him about Sebastian after Bella had told them of what had happened when she had tried to question him about it. However, things did get better for the 3 of them. They finally had a chance to work towards their purpose instead of just staying in hiding, afraid of being captured by blood traitors.

Rod has been away a lot trying to gather supporters in wizarding communities outside of England which would be extremely crucial for their success since they can no longer rely on or trust the existing families some of whom have perished in the Great Battle of Hogwarts, were imprisoned in Azkaban and some of whom have been released for good behavior and have been living in hiding ever since. Rod has been doing so wonderfully, bringing back great news each time from his travels as 'membership' numbers into the Death Eaters began to increase. Rod and his group of fiends had begun to work on government protests and overthrowing the wizarding governments in the countries where the number of supporters are increasing tremendously. The uprisings and social unrest are to make it easier for the Death Eaters to spread their influence.

Soon, history was beginning to repeat itself bit by bit. Pure-blood supporters began to appear like mushrooms after the rain. Rod had even asked the Dark Lord if it is time for them to select wizards and witches who are deserving of the Dark Mark but, Voldemort had decided it best not to mention the involvement of the Death Eaters just yet; not until he makes known to the world regarding his return.

Avery has been given the task of spying on the families here. His greatest task is to keep the Dark Lord posted on the well-being of Harry Potter, his family and his very close friends. He was also to gather support of the magical creatures here, giants, werewolves and even gnomes who has been so horribly treated for centuries by wizards and witches alike.

No one could be more excited about the Lord's comeback than Bella, but she has been quite disappointed as she had always thought that she could spend more time with him now that he is back but instead, they have been so busy each performing their own tasks.

Sebastian was given everything that he needs to run for Prime Minister of the muggle government. She knew there was a deal that the Dark Lord had made with Sebastian and this was the consideration, the thing given in return for whatever Sebastian had done for the Dark Lord. Bella couldn't understand why the Dark Lord couldn't just do away with Sebastian but Voldemort had given her a very plausible reason. He had said to her,

"My dear Bella, my comeback this time will be beyond any other comebacks I have ever tried. We will be bigger than we had been before. I have been daft and too merciful and that my dear has resulted in my downfalls. This time, I will rule not only the wizarding communities here, but all over the world. Sebastian is merely a tool for me to extend our influence into the muggle world,"

With that, Bella had been tempted to ask why they would ever need the support of muggles but she decided not to. She was beyond happy to see how excited he was and it was a side of him she had never seen before. So instead, she decided to ask,

"How are we to keep that many people under our control? Times have changed and today there are more half-bloods than pure bloods. No matter how much the number of our supporters has been increasing, we are still outnumbered. And…."

"All in good time Bella. All in good time,' he cut in. And Bella would silently watch him as he sat in his huge chair behind his work table, busy with his own affairs. Somehow, she felt as though he has changed. He used to hate it when she sits in his den while he is trying to work. He says she distracted him. Now, he allowed her to be around him a lot.

As she sat across from him now, she allowed her mind to travel back to the first night they had finally been able to 'celebrate' their union after so long.

[The Riddle Manor]

(Bella's POV)

I've never been here before….it belonged to his father…..this is where he had killed the res of his family. I think it will be very comfortable here….I have to admit the place is beautiful. All it needs is a little cleaning up.

"You've never been here before have you?"

Bella was surprised to hear his voice. Her heart had pounded faster at the sound of his voice. She certainly had not heard him come. "No…I never thought you wanted to have anything to do with this house. So I stayed away." She answered him as she walked across the bedroom to the window, letting her fingers touch the dusty sheets on the bed. She felt him follow her from behind and when he turned her around by the arm, she gasped. He bent down to capture her lips with his, holding her arms tight as he pulled her closer to him. She allowed her arms to rest around his neck as she allowed this moment that she had waited for, for so long.

She moaned into his mouth as their tongues waged a war with each other. He began to push her up against him, grabbing her by her thighs and letting her legs wrap around his waist as he pushed her up against a wall. She felt his erection against her thigh and she felt so excited her heart was threatening to burst out of her chest. His hands began their exploration all over her body as he let them trail down her neck and squeezing her breasts eliciting a moan out of her. His lips traveled to her neck and his hands found her clit which was already wet for him. Her eyes were shut as she tried to burn this memory into her mind. Gently, he began playing with her clit and inserted two fingers into her making her moan even louder this time as her body began to react to his touch. Her legs began to wrap tighter around his waist as she pulled him closer and deeper into her. He reached in an unzipped his pants, releasing his throbbing cock.

"Oh my Lord…" she moaned.

"What? Tell me! Tell me what you want me to do…tell me," he whispered into her ear, letting his member touch her clit slightly.

"I want you to fuck me." She whispered between breaths.

"I can't hear you. What do you want me to do Bella?" he said again, teasing her as he watched her getting excited for him.

"I want you to fuck me…..I want you to fuck me…please…." she begged over and over again.

He plunged into deep into her, eliciting a moan from both of them. Their bodies began moving in rhythm as her movements matched his. Her hips began thrusting towards him, pushing him deeper into her. He pushed away her hair from her eyes, "Open you eyes…open them.' He whispered. 'Don't even blink."

They began again, as he thrusts himself into her, even harder each time making her whimper after each thrust. They climaxed at the same time as he gave her one last thrust and she responded by tightening her muscles around him. The pleasure was so powerful leaving them both panting and trembling for a while.

That was just so….so….wonderful….I wish I could say I love you….but you'll take it the wrong way and hate me.

He let her down as he zipped himself up and she began to check herself, straightening her robes and her hair, not able to wipe away her smile off her face.

"Alright. You can say that….but only after sex." With that, he left her.
