The Other Boy From The Prophecy

Chapter 4 - Severus Snape's Lie

Severus Snape's Lie   

Severus Snape was pacing up and down a dark field talking to himself very fast, you could hear his mind working away "What am I going to? I know the prophecy is about her and the Potters boy, but the dark lord won't listen to me, he will kill them all I must keep her safe." Severus said to himself "I must lie to the dark lord, send him off the track but how..." his mind was racing faster than ever.

Then a nervous crooked smile crept on him slowly. "Thats it!!" shouted Snape "Of course, the Longbottoms just had a son too" said Snape in a slow whisper. "Why does this matter Severus" said a cold slithery voice. Snape did not have to turn round to know who this intruder was "My lord" said Snape clear and loud as he took a knee and bowed low in front of his master Lord Voldemort.

"I asked you a question Severus, Why do you care about the blood traitors and their new born son all of a sudden?" said Lord Voldemort in his meanacing voice.  

 "My lord I went to meet Dumbledore as you asked of me, and he was in a meeting with a woman named Sybill Trelawny, my lord". said Severus. "She was there for the divination spot, and she foretold a prophecy about you my lord" Snape looked up at Voldemort who still had a cold meanacing look, but Voldemorts mind was racing now, how he imagined himself on a high thrown and surrounded by his followers Lord Voldemort is ruler of the world and all the muggles are in hiding getting hunted and killed, all the muggle borns and traitors are slaves to his slaves (his death eaters)."My lord the prophecy speaks of a boy born at the end of July and he would be your equal the prophecy said....    

"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches…born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies…and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will power the Dark Lord knows not…and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives…the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies."    

"At the end of this my lord I heard Dumbledore saying something about a boy called Neville. Dumbledore said he must hide Neville" lied Snape." It took me awhile to understand it my lord, but then it hit me, the Longbottoms just had a small boy at the end of July and called him Neville Longbottom" Snape lied again to his master. Voldemort looked furious, he couldn't be leave what he was hearing "How sure are you of this" hissed Voldemort violently. "Completely sure of it my lord I believe that Dumbledore expects it to be the Longbottoms child otherwise why would he hide them my lord" Snape said, surprising himself as to how easy the lie smoothly rolled of his tongue."I hope you are not lying to me Severus for your own sake" said Voldemort coldly "why would I lie to you my lord you have taught me so much and took me under your wing I could never lie to you my lord" said Snape once again so effortly smoothly.  

 Voldemort was pacing back and forth, taking in all the information that his most loyal follower had just given him, thinking to himself, he had to come to a conclusion. Should he believe everything that Snape had just said? He knew that the two couples who had defied him and lived to tell about it had both given birth to sons, in his heart he always thought, if ever there was someone to defeat him then it would be a half-blood like himself, as he seen himself as the most powerfull wizard of all time, but Dumbledore didn't seem to think this was the case, which worried him, Voldemort might be the most powerfull dark wizard of all time but when it came to Dumbledore, he took notice of his thinking. If Dumbledore thought that the Longbottoms son was the one to defeat him even though he was pure-blood then why second guess it?

   "We must act quickly Severus" said Voldemort, whilst pushing his wand against the dark mark on his left arm, and within seconds he was surrounded by his general death eaters."My loyal followers it has come to my attention that there is a child who has been born that is supposed to be a threat to us and our plans in the future" hissed Voldemort."I want this not to leave this circle, but we must find this boy, and his family, and kill them all there must not be any mistakes but after all it is a baby" said Voldemort with a wicked smile. The death eaters laughed and hissed until Voldemort raised his hand they fell silent straight away. "It hurts me to do this because we will be losing pure blood but they are blood traitors we are looking for the Longbottoms when you find them you can play with them but leave the child, he is mine" said seriously but with a evil smirk on his pale snake like face.
