Exceptional love

Chapter 10

Voldemort shifted in his throne like chair, tapping long fingers absently on the armrest as Lucius recited the goings on in the Ministry. The Dark Lord hardly heard a word, nor was he particularly interested in studying the group of his masked inner circle Death Eaters sitting around. He'd been severely distracted since leaving Harry sleeping in the dungeon. Should have moved him, he thought absently as he ran a finger across the stone of his chair. He'll be sore today.

That last thought had him grinning sadistically as last night's events replayed in his mind. This was about the fifth time he'd scared his minions with that particular twisted grin. His cloak hid most of his facial features with the exception of his eyes and mouth, therefore when he smiled like that it gave everyone the shivers. Voldemort shifted again and crossed his legs, trying to ignore the hardness growing between in reaction to each passing thought of Harry.

"My Lord?"

He tried focusing on this meeting as well but that never worked out for more than five minutes. And now he had visions of Harry sitting in his lap right here in this chair, back pressed against his chest, levering his sexy body up and down his cock... It was all Harry's fault of course. Talking about how he wanted to be fucked by Lord Voldemort with the robes and red eyes...

"My Lord?"

Voldemort's eyes snapped to Lucius. And now he'd missed whatever Lucius had been telling him. Though by the looks on their faces, it was clear his Lieutenants were almost sure as to what was taking up most of their Lord's attention. He sneered at no one in particular. These meeting were becoming tedious. It was years of meetings. He was becoming tired of it. By this rate he should have won the war already. He'd rather be home with his lover. He wanted Wizarding Britain in his fist already so that he could share it with Harry. But if he wanted Harry to enjoy the world given, Voldemort knew he had to be delicate in the way he gained victory.

"Lucius, Severus... approach," he demanded. When the two were standing before him, he leaned forward, eyes slitted on their faces. "I want Hogwarts now. We will not wait until the summer. From there we'll move on to the Ministry."

"B-but, my Lord," Severus whispered.

Voldemort understood the Potions Masters reluctance, however, "plans are being made. There is a way. You know of one. And Dumbledore is no longer there. I will rip the wards away, Severus." He leaned back and steepled his fingers beneath his chin, noticing the uncertainty flashing in the wizards eyes. "We will take it quietly. The fewer lives taken the better. I am no longer in the killing children business... unless they become too much of a bother."

Relief crossed Severus' features while Lucius could not withhold a snort. Voldemort glared even as he leaned over to pluck up a cube of fudge from the bowl sitting beside his thrown.

"Charleston, Lustre." Two cloaked and masked figures strode forward and bowed.

"My Lord," they spoke and waited.

"Anything of interest?"

Charleston opened his mouth to speak, but was delayed when Lord Voldemort suddenly stood and raised a hand. Several seconds passed in complete silence before a white mist suddenly appeared through the wall and headed for Severus. "This is a Patronus messenger."

Voldemort drew his wand and approached his Potions Master. "You've told me only the Order uses such a thing."

"Usually. There are those who are no longer in the Order who know how..." The mist formed at Severus' feet when it reached him. Severus raised a brow when the mist took the form of an otter. "Granger," he realized and Voldemort relaxed only minutely.

"Professor Snape. A situation had arisen and I request your help. It seems Draco may have been abducted and I'm having a hard time keeping the boys from going off and doing something drastically stupid. I could always stun them but that wouldn't do anyone any good, I suppose. Can you inform Voldemort and Mr. Malfoy? We are at the Dark Lord's home...please hurry! They don't have a plan and I don't know how much longer I can stall them!"
