Hello all! If your reading this than ur really great for checking it! I've been writing for about three or four years now, and have done alot of Fan Fics on the old AOL HP Message Board... so i hope you like this short story!
God Bless Ye Merry Hippogriffs!


It was another fine summer day. The sun was shinimg, the grass was green, and everyone was enjoying the bright summer sun shine. It was a lot better than last year's summer, which was so hot and water so scarce that hoses were banned. Yes, it was most definitly a beautiful day...Until he came.
As children laughed and played at the neighborhhod park, a stranger walked into the town of St. Rockwell.He was a very funny-looking fellow. Short, and rather stout, wearing a long black roab. [I]Strang for such weather, all the onlookers thought. Even his face and hands were covered.
But even as the people around him watched and whispered, the stranger kept moving, gliding towards a finish line that he alone knew of. And then he stopped. He stood right in the middle of the park, where a small square lay. For a moment, everyone thought he had become confused, as if he suddenly forgot where he was.
And then a short stubbly thing reached out of the robes where his hands would be. But surely this wasn't a hand? Hands don't shimmer like that in the sun do they? At least not normal hands. Maybe he'd been in an automobile accident, or something. But then they knew that it was indded a hand. A stubbly, silver hand clutching a long, thin wand...
The stranger began to murmur something very strange in hoarse tones. And then, suddenly the man was not there, but instead stood six smaller versions of the same man, silver hand and all. People around the square began to scream in fright and terror. But the screams weren't loud enough to drone the yelling and laughing of the little men as they screamed,
"AVADA KEDARVA!"
And then all was still in ST. Rockwell. What had started as a summer swim, had now become a brutal massacre. All life had been snuffed away in seconds. Men, women and children lay on the grass white as snow, yet it apperead they had been untouched. But all them contained the same expression. Fear....



Well i wish i could right more, but my sister is begiing to get on, so ill leave you. Pleas tell me what you thought, i really would like to know. BTW Part Two should be coming to you fairly soon. God Bless Ye Merry Hippagriffs!

Chapter Two
In the Hands of Thine Enemy

Hundreds of miles away, in a chamber beneath the hard Albanian soil, sat a towering figure, laughing. This was the Lord of the Darkest Lords. He was the one that all wizards feared, soon even Albus Dumbledore. This was Lord Voldemort.
"Has Wormtail returned yet?" hissed Voldemort. "I want to reward him..."
"No my Lord, h-he's on his way now i believe." stuttered a tall skiny man with very thin hair, and sharp yellow teeth.
"You believe?" spat Voldemort. "You "believe" he's on his way? Well do you believe in pain Skatford? Why don't I preach to you...Crucio!"
The man named Skatford fell to his knees and began to squirm and writhe, all the time screaming in pain. And as foam started to ooze out of Skatford's mouth, the man Wormtail entered into the chamber.
"Wormtail! Have you got him?" hissed Voldemort. "You know how I hate the word 'No'."
"Y-yes Lord," stammered a short stout man, with a pudgy silver hand. "I-I k-killed everyone. L-like you said. A-and then I w-went to get him. He was hiding i-in a Muggles basement."
As Wormtail said this the chamber door opened again, and two men carrying a third entered the chamber. Both of the men wore black hoods with two eye slits like a snakes, and donned a thin raggedy robe.
"Ahhhh my servants!" Voldemort spoke. "You work hard. Maybe you too shall become a Death Eater like Wormtail."
The sevants dropped the man and bowed low, scowling at Wormtail, causing him to whimper loudly. Then they left the three alone. They knew nothing of the importance of what they had just carried into the chamber. For at the feet of Lord Voldemort, lay the Headmaster of Durmstang, Karkaroff.
"Time to wake up! Crucio!" Voldemort spat. Instantly Karkaroff opened his eyes that were red with pain. Voldemort stopped for a minute to look at Karkaroff.
"How I hate traitors!" he spat at him ferouciously. "You have told the Ministry of Magic valuble information about me and my servants Karkaroff."
"My Lord, I was j-just biding m-my time u-until I c-could help y-y..." but Karkaroff could not finish his words. He glanced over at Skatford, who lay dead. Voldemort glared at him with snake-like eyes through his mask of white skin.
"Well Karkaroff you will speak no more of our doings." said Voldemort. "You will tell no tales"
"WAIT MY LORD! I CAN HELP YOU! PLEASE! SNAPE IS A SPY! I HAVE SEEN HIM! HE GIVES INFORMATION TO DUMBLEDORE!"
"Ahhhhhhhh but yet you do not think that Snape has been spying for me? I know all, Karkaroff. My eyes are keen, and see far. YOU are worthless!"
"NO! I CAN TELL YOU MORE! I KNOW A WEAPON YOU COULD USE!"
"Why would the most powerful wizard of all time need a weapon against my foes?"
"B-b-because this weapon is special Lord. It brings life to those who are dead. It is t-t-the only one of i-i-t's kind. And,"
"That is enough Karkaroff. You have supplied me well." hissed Voldemort lowly. "Think of this weapon in your mind. Do not falter in your thinking or you die."
"Y-y-yes Lord. Thank you Lord."
Karkaroff closed his eyes tight. He looked as though he was trying to put his eyelids over his chin.
Voldemort took out his thin wand and stuck it to Karkaroffs temple, as though he were grinding a pencil into his head. Then a long thin stream of silvery light emitted from Karkaroff. He then put the wand to his own temple and grind the silvery smoke into his mind. Though it looked painful, Voldemort never made a whimper, or showed a sign of pain.
"Thank you Karkaroff. I will need this."
"Oh y-yes Lord. Th-thank you for sp-sparing me."
"Oh yes you will live. But you shall never speak lies about me again, Karkaroff. Wormtail, bring me Nigaini."
Wormtail then shuffled to a door behind the high chair and brought out a long, slithering snake. As he placed it into Voldemort's hand, Karkaroff whimpered and screamed.
"NO!!!NO!!!PLEASE, PLEASE!!!"
But then Voldemort dropped the snake onto Karkaroofs face, and with one swift movement, Karkaroffs tounge was gone.
