How I ended up (Forgotten Mistake by BtsPeace)

Chapter 6 - His Butler, Red

Modern Era, Phantomhive manor - Evening

Ciel felt exhausted as he accepted his cup of tea from Sebastian. The Order meeting was about to commence and the children were present and demanded not to be left out. Worse, the Malfoys would be leaving the following morning and that left Ciel with only a few who were worth real company. Ciel wondered if Sebastian had spiked his tea with something stronger to help him deal with all this incompetence.

"I will repeat myself, though I am loath to do so, that none of the children are allowed to attend these meetings," Ciel said piercing Dumbledore with his blue eye. The old man's were twinkling.

"Come now, this is merely a preliminary discussion and so it is perfectly reasonable to allow them to remain," said the old meddler. Ciel drank from his cup for several moments.

"I see, that is your opinion; however, I am now handling this ridiculous rebellion and I have my own opinions. Unfortunately, I was hoping you could meet me on this rather simple opinion, but it appears not... Sebastian, have the maids escort the children out, and make sure they don't eavesdrop. This meeting, preliminary or not, is unsuitable to their innocent reality," Ciel said as the maids began escorting the children out. The children, minus the twins, whinged and wailed about it.

"Really, this is unacceptable!" James Potter exclaimed as he stood up.

"I quite agree, they sound as if you spoil them," was Ciel's caustic remark.

"You can't just-"

"This is my lord's home, Lord Potter," Sebastian said from behind the man, making him jump. "As such, he can remove children from rooms if he wishes. as his servants, we live to fulfil his desires."

"Quite, now sit down, Potter, the sooner we finish this the sooner I can finish my work and go to bed," Ciel said bluntly. The children were out of the room and the adults of the order saw a different side from the caustic, cheeky child they had seen thus far. Ciel's lovely face had hardened, and his eye was now cold.

"Make no mistake, I am Her Majesty's Guard Dog. I fix situations that upset her, I end people who cause her misery, and I clean up after the incompetent individuals who fail her," Ciel told them all. "You are in the last category. You lot were supposed to ensure that these sordid rebels were put down, and you failed. Miserably. Not only did the majority of those rebels escape justice, their leader wasn't ensured dead. Now they are back and Her Grace is even more upset because you all were so...Lazy, in your clean up the first time."

"How dare-"

"Do not interrupt me, Potter. As a result of your incompetence and complete disregard for the safety of both sides of Britain, Her Grace has turned to me to finish this. So I shall. Have I made myself clear?"

"Perfectly, Ciel," Dumbledore said. "However, I don't think you quite understand what Tom, known as Voldemort, is capable of."

"Oh, I know exactly what the traitor Tom Marvolo Riddle is capable of," Ciel said and nodded to Sebastian, who produced a scroll.

"Tom Marvolo Riddle, alias Lord Voldemort. He was born to Merope Gaunt, and Lord Tom Riddle; his father was under the effects of a love potion and once free from the influence returned to his family. Merope Gaunt died in childbirth at an orphanage in London. During his childhood, Tom Riddle exhibited several disturbing characteristics; including psychopathy and violent actions against his fellow orphans. During his Hogwarts education he released a Basilisk upon the muggleborn students, killing one of them, before framing one Rubeus Hagrid for the crimes. During the summer between his sixth and seventh year he murdered his father, paternal grandparents, step-mother and sibling; he framed his maternal uncle for the murders. Once he graduated he murdered at least three more people, pinning the murders on different individuals each time. Once he had gained a large following in the late fifties-early sixties he formed his cult and began committing acts of treason, terrorism and mass rape, murder and torture with this group under his alias Lord Voldemort. From his sixth year to the night 31st of October 1981 he created six different horcruxes. After he was defeated in 1981, he hid primarily in Albania and possessed multiple people. He possessed one wizard, Quinius Quirrell during the summer of 1989 and proceeded to steal the Sorcerer's Stone from Hogwarts, thus regaining his body. Quirrell died after Voldemort regained his body. Since then he has resumed his activities that were halted the night of Halloween in 1981. This concludes the report on Tom Riddle," Sebastian said rolling up the paper.
