But anyway, Let's Dive right into Hell!
Chapter 36: Queen Bee
Harry breathed a sigh of relief on the train back home. So far, it was the best year he had at Hogwarts. He proved Sirius innocent, and he won the Quidditch House Cup, and the House Cup for the third year in a row. Now, he was enjoying his time on the train with Ron, Hermione, and Charlie in the car with him back home. Charlie was reading the Daily Prophet in the article as the title for the headline read "Black proven innocent. The real culprit fled."
"Can't believe Pettigrew escaped," Harry spoke up as he figured Voldemort had a hand in him escaping.
"I can't believe he was pretending to be my pet and slept next to me," Ron said as he was creeped out. When the article was published, Fred and George teased him and Percy about the whole rat thing until the train ride back home.
"Ron, let's be real. Pettigrew is still at large. He may still be at large who knows where. Harry could be in danger," Hermione commented.
"I wouldn't worry too much, Hermione. Kirby is a great guard dog and if anyone does get past him, they have to go through our other pets," Harry assured her. "But it was nice of Sirius to give you an owl as a replacement for your pet," he said as the Prince of Hell eyed the small gray and white scops owl as Crookshank sniffed it.
"Yeah, I guess," Ron sighed. He was glad he got an owl, but he did wish he had gotten a bigger one. On the bright side, it was better than always using Errol for postal deliveries.
"So, did you give a name to this little cutie," Charlie asked as she took her eyes off the paper and petted the owl under his chin.
"Pigwideon," Ron said as he decided on the name.
"That's….a unique name. Why choose that," Charlie asked as she through the name.
"Cause he's the size of a pigeon," Ron told the teacher assistant.
"I guess that works," Charlie said forcing a smile. "I guess his name will be Pig for short."
"I didn't think about that," Ron admitted as he felt embarrassed about the name.
"Pigs are cute," Charlie reassured him, remembering the adorable piglets she'd seen in Hell before.
"Don't worry too much about it, Ron. Right now, just focus on your summer," Harry told his best friend.
"By the way Harry, what's going on with Sirius," Hermione asked the Prince of Hell.
"He's spending time with Mom and Dad since he's part of the family now," Harry told them. "After he was released, they returned to our estate and started catching up from there."
"Starting with your baby pictures," Charlie teased.
"Or yours," Harry fired back.
"Or both," Hermione laughed as the train headed back to King's Cross.
Once Charlie and the teenagers stepped off the train, they were greeted by all their parents alongside Sirius, standing to the left of the Queen of Hell. "Mom, Dad, Sirius/Uncle Sirus," Harry and Charlie both said in unison as they ran towards their parents and Harry's Godfather.
"Enjoyed the rest of the school year," Lucifer asked his children.
"Yes, we did. Too bad that Professor Lupin resigned and won't be coming back next year," Harry said as he was saddened because he was by far the best Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.
"I wouldn't worry too much. Remus will visit back at my place when he has the chance," Sirius told them.
"And where is your house," Charlie asked.
"A safe place where no one can look for it. In case the wrong people try searching for me," Sirius said with a smirk and finger to his lips. "But I do want to see your house."
"It's huge. It's bigger than Hogwarts itself," Harry told his godfather.
"I hope I don't get lost in it as easily as I did my first year there," Sirius joked as he and the Morningstar family walked to the limo. Razzle and Dazzle loaded Harry and Charlie's belongings, and everyone entered the car. "So this is a limousine? It's bigger than I thought it would be."
"Wait til you see the manor. It's my pride and joy," Lucifer said with a grin across his face.
"I thought I was your pride and joy, dear," Lilith playfully pouted.
"You are, Apple Pie. I just meant how much we put hard work into the castle is all," Lucifer said, looking at his wife and patting her hands.
"I know, dear. I just love to tease you sometimes," the Queen of Hell said as she nuzzled her husband.
"Are they always like this," Sirius muttered to both his godson and honorary niece.
"You have no idea," Harry said as he shivered.
The King of Hell turned away from his wife and faced his children and the former convict. "I have plans for your 'get out of jail' party.
"If that's the case, how about we put it closer to my birthday," Harry suggested to his parents.
"That would be nice, but we're not hosting it," Lucifer answered his son.
"Wait, we're not going to be hosting? Then who is," Charlie asked. She knew it had to be one of the other Six Sins. The Princess of Hell figured it wasn't Mammon since Greed was one of the most dangerous rings. She considered Asmodeus since he did attend Harry's birthdays, but he and Fizzaroli were more focused on lust than family gatherings. That's when she realized there was only one other Sin fitting to host.
"Bee-lzebub," Lilith told them.
"Aunt Bee," Harry and Charlie said happily, as she was the closest to them.
"The lord of the flies," Sirius asked as he imagined the Sin of Gluttony being a depiction of a fly fat and discussing looking.
"More like the Queen Bee," Lucifer stated. "She may have her duties but she always did love to go to parties and loves to house her own."
"Beelzebub is a she," Sirius asked.
"So is Belphgor," Lilith added.
"Demon identities tend to shift around based on who believes in them and what they wrote down all that time ago," Charlie told Sirius.
"Exactly. But I even invited everyone we know, including Harry's girlfriends," Lucifer said bluntly.
"Dad," Harry said through his teeth, as well as his face turning a faint pink.
"Wait, Harry's got a girlfriend," Sirius asked curiously looking at his godson.
"Three. They made out with him at a party," Lilith said.
"Three girlfriends, Harry, I can not be any prouder," Sirius declared. "What are they like? Are they good-looking? How did you meet?"
"Someone kill me," Harry mumbled as he wanted to hide his face as Charlie patted his back.
"You'll get to meet them at Aunt Bee's place," Charlie told him.
As the limousine drove to a dead end with a brick wall in front of them, a pentagram showed itself on the wall and the vehicle passed right through it. The next moment, the royal family and Sirius were at Morningstar Manor. Razzle and Dazzle opened the doors for everyone, allowing Sirius to set his sights on the building. "You weren't kidding when you said your place is bigger than Hogwarts," he said, looking around to see the doors open for them by imp servants. "You have demonic house elves?"
"Imps. And no, they are not slaves. They get paid just like any other servant," Lucifer told Sirius as they walked through the halls with many of the family portraits hung on the walls. "But we do have one house elf. But he's paying his due for ruining Harry's 12th Birthday Party. Which reminds me, it's his last day today," the King of Hell said, snapping his fingers. "Dobby!"
"Yes, Master Lucifer," Dobby said as he ran over to the Devil and Family. "How many I be of service?"
"You did a great job with the food and cleaning, I think you earned this as a reward," Lucifer said as he snapped his finger and a brand-new shirt floated down in front of the house elf.
The house elves' ears stood up and a smile formed on his face. "Thank you, Master Lucifer. You are too kind," the house elf said gratefully as he put the new shirt on, showing that it reached below his knees. "Dobby is free once again."
"Alright, now go before I change my mind," Lucifer told the elf with a serious and professional look. Dobby snapped his fingers before vanishing into smoke. "I'm gonna miss that elf," Lucifer said with a fond smile.
"I know dear, he was such a help around the manor," Lilith told her husband as she put her hand on his shoulder. "But we should give Sirius a tour of the castle," the Queen of Hell told him as she guided Padfoot through the castle giving him a tour of the castle. "Here is Lucifer's office, where he does all of his work. And over here is the duck room where he keeps all of his rubber ducks."
Sirius looked at the devil with a questioning look. "It's a hobby," Lucifer told the ex-con.
"Questions for later," Sirius said as he continued to get a tour of the castle.
"Over here is my studio where I do many of my recordings," Lilith showed him as she moved along. "And here's the trophy room where we keep all the trophies, awards, and taxidermies we keep," she said as she opened the doors. "We recently put the Basilisk Harry killed in here."
"You killed a Basilisk," Sirus asked Harry as he sounded impressed that such a feat was possible.
"I had a little help last year from Sam and Dumbledore's phoenix, Fawkes," Harry told him as the demonic serpent coiled itself proudly at being able to help his friend. "I'm just lucky they were there. Otherwise, I would either be dead or petrified."
They continued the tour by showing the meeting rooms, indoor theater, different sporting rooms, the garden, and the yard where all of their pets resided even Cerberus and Sebastian who were the biggest of the bunch. Lastly, their bed chambers were shown and Sirius was shown his new bedroom. "Hope you enjoyed the tour. Will the room we picked be satisfying?"
"This is perfect. It's bigger than my bedroom," Sirius looked around and saw it had everything he needed. A bed, a dresser, a private bathroom, and other stuff that Muggles had such as a TV.
"If you need any of us, you know where to find us," Lilith told him. "But do get some rest for the party tomorrow. And if you wish, we'll put some more amenities from the Wizarding World in if you desire."
"Thank you, Lilith," Sirius said as the King and Queen of Hell went to their room and Charlie went to hers, all that was left was Harry and Sirius. The Animagus walked towards his godson. "Harry, you have such a lovely house and loving parents. Even if it is in Hell."
"Glad to hear you are enjoying your stay. But this is still Hell, some of the worst people are here," Harry told Sirius.
"I figure. I'm sure many of my family members are down here," Sirius told him. "Including my parents and my brother."
"Were they really that bad," Harry asked him.
"They believed that Purebloods are superior to anyone else in this world," Sirius told them.
"Sounds like the Malfoys," Harry said to him.
"Don't even remind me. My cousin, Narcissa married that asshole, Lucius," Sirius said which made Harry stunned.
"You're related to the Malfoys," Harry asked. "I hate those guys."
"Trust me, I have no love for them either," Sirius told him. "But the one I truly despise is Bellatrix, Narcissa's sister. I was in prison with her those 12 years and she's as insane as when she tortured Frank Longbottom and his wife."
"Neville's parents? What happened to them," Harry asked as this was news to him.
"To get a better picture, during the First Wizarding War, we knew there was a traitor in our midst, I never knew it was Wormtail at the time. Your parents and the Longbottoms were targeted because they captured many Death Eaters and sent them to Azkaban. Bellatrix, her husband, and two others tortured them with a forbidden curse."
"Satan's horns," Harry said aloud. "Did they… die?"
"No, it was much worse. They were tortured into madness. They couldn't recognize anybody, not even their son. They were sent to St. Mungo's, a hospital for wizards and witches where they've been bedridden ever since," Sirius told him sadly.
"I never knew," Harry said as he was astonished that something that serious happened in Neville's life. The next time they meet and the discussion is brought up, he'll talk with Neville about it.
"Well enough, about the negative stuff. Why not tell me about these girlfriends of yours," Sirius asked the Prince of Hell as he was intrigued.
Harry's face became beet red, but he might as well tell his godfather about them since they would meet him. "The first one you should know is Verosika, she was a former babysitter of mine and is a succubus…" Harry told him as they talked through the night.
The Morningstar Limo parked itself just outside of Bee's place as the royal family stepped out. Lucifer wore his usually white suit, Lilith chose a violet strapless dress, Charlie had a salmon pink dress, Harry wore a black and yellow suit, and Sirius was in a dark gray suit. "Here we are. Bee's mansion," Lucifer pointed out as he pointed to the white mansion with honeycomb pattern windows. "Can't keep the hostess waiting any longer for the guest of honor to arrive," the King of Hell said as he led the family into the building as many Hellhound, imps, incubi, succubi, and other natives of Hell were drinking, eating, and dancing like it was the time of their hellish lives. The party stopped for a second as the royal family entered the vista but as soon as everyone saw who it was, they all cheered and a banner was unfurled to show 'Glad to be out, Bitches!' in big yellow and pink letters.
"Luci! Lily! Glad you could make it," a voice called out to them. The owner was a yellow fox-bee hybrid of a demon with four arms, a small pair of insect wings, and a pair of antennae attached to her ears. Her fur was yellow and pink with some black markings that gave a dripping appearance down her four arms and animal-like legs. Her hair and tail looked like it was made of either honey or lava lamp fluid and glowed bright pink, blue, and orange. The same lava lamp color mixture was visible on her stomach as well thanks to her clothes showing off her figure. Her outfit consisted of a black choker around her neck, a pink off-shoulder crop top with a heart-shaped cutout and white markings underneath to give it a clawed look, a black low-cut bra, and a pair of light pink short shorts with the trim being the same color as her top.
"Bee! I'm glad you could throw this party for our special guest," Lucifer hugged the Sin of Gluttony.
"I wouldn't want to miss this shit for my favorite nephew," Bee said as she finished hugging Lilith and saw Harry and Charlie next to Sirius. "And there he is, the man of the hour. Sirius, right? Name's Beelzebub, the Queen of Gluttony. But you can just call me Bee," she said stretching out one of her four arms toward him.
"The pleasure's all mine, Bee," Sirius shook her hand. "Though, I'm quite surprised at your appearance if I'm being honest. I know I'm from Earth, but-"
"I know, lots of mortals thought of me as this giant fat big bitch. Things change over the years like tastes, so no worries," she told the ex-convict. "You have a fascinating taste to you. A little bit on the bitter side, but mostly sweet."
"Taste," Sirius asked in confusion as he tilted his head to the side.
"Aunt Bee can taste the flavor of different people. Every time she has a party she wants to make sure everyone is having a good time," Harry explains.
"Harry's got that right. I can tell when someone is having a good time on their own that way, I can produce that sweet honey," Bee said with a grin. "Anyway, have a beer," shoving the ex-con a red cup full of alcohol before making it grow to three times its size. "We're going to party like no tomorrow," Bee cheered, prompting all the hellhounds to howl in unison.
Bee soon went to her partygoers and enlarged their food or drinks as they had a good time. The ex-con took a sip from the liquid and tasted the bitterness. "It's no Fire Whiskey, but it will suffice," he told himself as he drank more of it.
"Enjoy yourself. Drink, dance, chat, or try something new," Lucifer told Sirius as he patted his back. The Devil walked with his wife and left the trio to do what they felt like.
"I need to get some food," Harry muttered as he always loved it when Bee made it so some of his favorite treats became the same size as his head.
"I'm going to dance," Charlie said as she headed to the dance floor.
"I think I'll join you on the food," Sirius said as he followed Harry to the buffet table that Bee set up. On it was a large assortment of cakes, pies, meats, sweets, and drinks that the table could hold. Both Harry and Sirius got as much stuff as they could hold and dug in at a table. "Harry, I have got to say that this is a party I can get behind," Sirius told his godson as he bit into a giant burger.
"Yeah, Aunt Bee knows how to be a great host," Harry said, eating cotton candy the size of his head, washing it down with some Fireball Cola, and proceeding with a small hiccup from the Prince of Hell.
"Easy now, don't want you to get too intoxicated on my watch," Sirius told him patting his back.
"I wouldn't worry too much. He's been around me for a long time," a voice told the ex-con as he turned to see Verosika wearing her signature pink fur coat, a white top, a black skirt, and round sunglasses with hearts in them. Behind her was a large hellhound that had a darker color scheme than Loona's with a scar over his left eye and a slightly ripped ear. His outfit was a black tank top with ripped shorts and a leather vest to show his large arms. The succubus walked over to the table and took a seat next to Harry, facing Sirius. "You must be Harry's godfather, a pleasure to finally meet you."
"Pleasure is all mine. You must Verosika, Harry told me a lot about his three girlfriends," Sirius said, making Harry groan and nearly pull out his wand to try and shut up his godfather.
"Did he say I was the prettiest of the three," she asked cheekily and gently held Harry's hand to make him put his wand back in his jacket.
"He said you were pretty and you have a lovely singing voice," Sirius said, eyeing the succubus on her figure, especially her upper half.
Of course, Verosika caught where the Marauder's eyes wandering and smirked. "Did he," she asked as she took off her sunglasses. "Of course, I wouldn't be as successful without Harry. Without him, I would be somewhere in the slums," she said playfully as she hugged Harry, ensuring his face was on her chest. Harry couldn't do anything but turn red as he was smothered by Verosika's hug.
"Can't keep your hands off him for more than a minute can you," Octavia said as she came up to the table wearing a dark blue dress with Loona who wore a matching red one.
Verosika let go of Harry and the Prince of Hell took a deep breath of fresh air. "Like you weren't gonna do the same, Octaiva. But then again, I give better hugs," she smirked as she looked at the royal owl's smaller chest.
"I would love to argue with you about that, but this is a party and it's the first time I get to enjoy something without Mom or Dad here," Octavia told the succubus.
"You came here alone," Harry asked as he got the color back into his face.
"More like I drove her here since…. our dads will be busy with one another," Loona told him. "Plus, it gets us both a reason to get out and bond a little."
"Say no more. I don't want that mental picture in my mind," Harry said.
"Now I'm curious," Sirius asked, looking at the owl and the female hellhound.
"You don't wanna know," the four of them said in unison.
"Alright then. You must be Harry's other two girlfriends, Octiva and Loona," Sirius said pointing out the owl demoness and the female hellhound.
"You got that correct," Loona said, looking at him. "So you're Harry's criminal of a godfather. I have to say, I'm impressed you busted out and made history."
"If you must know, I didn't kill those people," Sirius told the hellhound.
"I can figure since it was that rat," Loona told him. The ex-con looked in confusion at what the hellhound told him. "What? I can sniff out a person's scent just by their name. In fact, I was the one who told Harry that it was his ginger friend's pet was a man."
"She's right. Hellhounds have a more powerful smell than any canine in the mortal world," the tall hellhound told the ex-con as he stood behind Verosika. The hellhound realized he hadn't even introduced himself to Harry, Sirius, or the other two. "Oh yeah, I'm Vortex. My friends call me Tex. I'm Verosika's bodyguard."
"I figured as much. Mom always has a few Hellhound bodyguards with her when she's on tour," Harry stated as he did see his mother sing many times on shows. He remembered how the hellhounds pushed back the crazier fans and made sure that Lilith was safe on stage.
"No surprise there," Loona said, crossing her arms as she soon spotted one of her high school classmates. "Oh great, Vikki's here," she said, in irritation, spotting the poodle hellhound chatting it up with a few of her friends.
"Someone you know," Harry asked.
"Yeah, she's a total bitch. One time I went to a party and puked my guts out from being too wasted. She took a picture of it and posted it to social media and called me Loonatic," she growled in the direction of the poodle hellhound.
"She did what," Harry said, looking where Vikki was chatting with her friends as they mentioned something that considered her fetching something. The Prince of Hell took out his wand and muttered something in her direction. Vikki was still chatting with her friends until she slowly scratched herself. She started to scratch herself more and more until she was inching all over her body and even biting herself as her friends started to back away.
"Fleas!" One Hellhound said as some guards took the poodle by the arms and kicked her out of the party before she infested everyone else.
Harry, Sirius, and the girls laughed as Vikki was kicked out of the party. "That was hilarious! That was even more funny when you're father, James, hung Snivious by his feet," Sirius laughed.
"Snivious," Harry asked as he thought about who could be called Snivious. "Are you talking about Professor Snape?"
"Yes, I did. We Marauders were quite the pranksters back in our days," his godfather told him, referring to James Potter, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, and himself.
"No wonder he didn't like me much in my first school year," Harry muttered as Sirius looked at him with a questioning look. "It's nothing too personal. He knows about Mom and Dad, so he's being more reasonable now. He even gave some Slytherin students detention."
"That's surprising. I never would have thought he would be willing to take points from his own House and give them detention," Sirius chuckled to himself.
"Guess people can change over the years. Unlike others," Loona remarked before looking at her bully. She then chuckled as she made a recording of Vikki in pain with fleas.
"So, any plans for later this summer, Harry," Octavia asked.
"Nothing. I was pretty much going to hang out with you guys over the summer and celebrate my birthday," Harry told them.
"I think we can do both," Verosika said as Harry and the others looked at her. "Me and your mom are going to do a concert tour together. We'll be going through Europe in July."
"Where are you stopping," Sirius inquired.
"England. Spain, Transylvania, France, Germany, Scotland, and a few other places. As long as the drinks are good and the guys are hot, I don't care where we stop," Verosika explained.
"What? I'm not good enough," Harry asked, somewhat insulted.
"I'm a succubus, Harry. I can at least enjoy some eye candy," Verosika retorted as she checked out a buff and shirtless imp passing by. "I can look, but you are the only guy that is allowed to touch me anywhere you like," she told the Prince of Hell as she sat on his lap and placed his hands on her thighs. This made Harry go pink before Bee stopped by the group.
"I appreciate that you are enjoying the party, but do keep it at a somewhat friendly level. This isn't Lust, Harry," Bee told him as if she caught him and the succubus in the act, chuckling to herself.
"Aunt Bee, it's not what it looks like," Harry tried to defend himself.
"It is what it looks like," Sirius said, teasing the Prince of Hell.
"Shut up before I give you fleas," Harry muttered towards his godfather.
"Not again," Sirius immediately exclaimed in fear.
"Wait, you can get fleas? How," Bee asked, curious about what the wizard meant.
"I'm an Animagus. I can turn into a dog. Watch," Sirius explained before turning into a large black dog that looked less threatening than when Harry first saw the animal form.
"That's awesome," Loona and Octavina said as they were impressed by Sirius' magic.
"Hehehe, yeah," Bee agreed with a grin. "That is pretty cool. I was just gonna ask if you were enjoying yourselves. But now, I think I'm gonna hang out for a bit," she said sitting next to the ex-convict as they chatted and had a good time.
After a few days after the party, Sirius went back to his house in England to straighten some stuff out and maybe even tidy up the house more. As for the Morningstar family, Harry was out with Charlie on some errands. "Thanks for helping me with all this shopping, Harry," Charlie said as she had several bags and boxes in her arms.
"No problem. I needed to get out of the house anyway," the young wizard replied as he carried what he could. "I just have to ask why you needed all of this."
"Oh, I wanted to get stuff for when we join Mom on her tour in July," the princess explained. "Need more outfits and supplies," she said with a skip in her step. However, she ended up losing her balance and a few boxes fell from her grasp. "Ah, dammit."
Before Charlie could give the rest of her boxes to Harry to hold, she noticed somebody from the corner of her eye. "Here, let me help you with that," a female voice said to them as she approached and helped out Charlie.
The siblings looked and saw the girl was a slim woman with gray lavender skin and long white hair with the ends matching her skin tone. On top of her head was a bow that made the siblings think of a butterfly or a moth. Her bangs covered one of her eyes that had an eyepatch with an X on it, but her remaining eye was an ivory white with light pink sclera with gray eyeshadow for a little makeup. She was wearing a white mini dress with two gray crosses on her chest and a shoulder strap, had one gray stocking on one leg, a gray and pink striped stocking on the other leg, and long fingerless gloves.
Charlie gave a faint blush on how pretty the demon was but straightened herself out. "Thanks. I got a little carried away there," she chuckled awkwardly. "I'm Charlie and this is my brother, Harry."
"Happens to everyone," the demon girl replied. "I'm Vagatha."
"Nice to meet you, Vaggie," Charlie said with a pure-hearted smile on her face.
Vagatha was about to respond to the nickname, but couldn't help but smile as how sincere Charlie was being. "Same."
Harry looked at the two girls and easily did the math in his head. "If you want, I can take what you've got back home and you can talk more with your new friend, sis," he said, winking at his sister.
"Oh, uh, yeah. Thanks, Harry. That would be great," Charlie said as she handed everything over to Harry, forcing him to use a charm to carry everything safely. Thankfully, the Ministry of Magic had no authority in Hell over underage magic, so he wasn't bothered by any potential letters of warning. As Harry left and made sure all the purchases were secure, Charlie turned back to Vaggie, who smiled at the princess before they decided to talk about themselves.
Flash forward to August in Little Hangleton
Frank Bryce was pushing 100 in his old age as he was 96 years old. He should have retired many years ago, but he had to make sure the old Riddle house was taken care of. It wouldn't have mattered anyway since his home was the old cottage right next to the old Riddle House. He worked there as a gardener for many years. Even if he left, he had no place to go since he was branded a criminal decades ago when he was 25.
Thomas, Mary, and their son Tom all died that one August night and people thought he did it since he had keys to the back of the entrance. However, the way the Riddles died was strange. No wounds, no poison, no signs of a struggle, nothing obvious to any investigator.
The doctors did a full autopsy and the eventually, the police had no choice but to let him go. His neighbors still suspected him and thought he got away with murder, but Frank knew the truth of what happened. It was that dark-haired boy he saw that night. He told the police about it, but the village said no such boy existed in town and that he probably made him up to cover his tracks. However, Frank knew the truth and he didn't let him bother him. He kept doing his gardening work around the old Riddle home and made sure the outside was tidy enough. Once in a while, he had to chase the kids off because they broke a window once by throwing rocks. But one night when he was making himself a cup of tea, he saw a light coming from one of the rooms in the old house.
Frank huffed with anger at the sight before him. "Bloody kids," he muttered as he grabbed his walking stick and a flashlight towards the old house. He went to the back door of the house and fiddled with the keys that he still kept with him. Unlocking the back entrance, he then limped into the abandoned house where it lay untouched for many years, allowing dust and cobwebs to coat the old house's interior. He slowly walked up the stairs and he huffed with each step he took as he reached the second floor to check where the light came from, the master bedroom. Peering inside, he saw a fire was lit and instead of kids or teenagers, he heard adults.
"Where is Nagini," a cold voice asked. The mysterious figure was shrouded in a black cloak, sitting in an armchair next to the fire.
"My lord, she should be back here any moment," Wormtail said to him. "She's just doing her patrols around the graveyard. But I must ask, do we really need the boy? We could always use another witch or wizard and it can be done that way."
"No! The boy is needed for the ritual to be done properly," the voice hissed at the rat-looking man. "I have a plan to get the boy out of his protection. And when he's away, his blood will spill."
"My lord, what if the Ministry learns of Bertha Jorkin's death so soon," Wormtail asked the figure in the cloak.
"That will not be necessary since we have been playing our cards right," the voice hissed. "Is everything in order, my faithful servant?"
"Everything is in place, my lord," Barty Crouch Jr. said to the hooded figure.
Out in the corridor, Frank overheard them and wondered what this ritual they were discussing was. Was this some kind of Satanic cult? And were they going to go and kill a boy? But who? Those were his thoughts as he tried to quietly sneak out of the house and tell the police right away. Watching where he stepped, his eyes widened as he saw a large snake slither past him and into the room, then heard it hissing at the cloaked man in the chair.
"The old caretaker is right outside the door and overheard you," Nagini told the figure.
"Nagini just told me that the old muggle caretaker is right outside the door," the voice told the two men. They looked out the door and saw the old man with his walking stick looking at them with fear. Wormtail and Barty Crouch Jr. took the old man by his arms and flung him into the room a his knees gave out Frank was looking up at the figure. Under the hood of the cloak was somebody that looked like a child, but had reddish serpentine eyes, greenish skin, and didn't have a nose. Overall, the figure looked a lot like some sort of snake person that was glaring at him like a predatory animal ready for its dinner. "If it isn't the old muggle gardener from all those years ago."
"Years ago," Frank asked as he was wondering what he meant by that. "You," he said as realized what this thing was. "It was you who killed them. You killed the Riddles," he said as pointed a finger.
"Indeed it was, and now you will die just like them," the figure said as he raised his wand and a green burst of light hit Frank, causing the old man to let out a scream of pain and horror before dying.
And that is the chapter ladies and gents. Sirius got his party, Dobby went free, Vaggie got introduced and Harry is going with his mother, sister, and one girlfriend on a European tour. Before he goes and sees the World Cup. Anyway, I am going to have bigger changes in the Goblet of Fire arc than in canon (Also to note, I'm gonna be doing more towards what's in the books than the movie since it book had more going on.) Big thanks again to WaterDragonMaverick for editing, suggestions, and corrections. Also, a new poll for the story is up on the main page that will be up for two or three more chapters or until no one votes anymore. And as always, I'll see all of you in Hell!
