End My Life Of Pain And Suffering

Chapter 1

       Voldemort, who was holding a meeting with his Elite in Malfoy Manor, was the first person who felt it. Raw, wild magic that usually only happened when you were young and emotions were high, never this powerful. This magic though, it was distorted and broken, it felt flat, almost dead, which is something he had never encountered in a living being and it was moving closer. The Elite felt it next, their skin tingled with the magic in the air but the feel of it sent shivers down their spines, they had never encountered magic that felt lifeless before. Considering your magic was an extension of oneself it was not surprising, but this magic was not malicious despite its state. They looked at their Lord silently inquiring what to do, only to find him staring at the door with an unreadable expression on his face, so as their wands slid into their hands, they waited to see who this magic belonged to.

The door to the ballroom was blown open and in walked a single solitary figure, cloaked in darkness and covered by a long cloak that obscured their face with a wand in hand. The Elite tensed, ready for a fight but the figure only threw their wand on the table in front of them and opened their cloak to draw out three rolled up parchments that were tied with ribbons, official seals stamped onto them. As well as a short chain that held a small crystal ball attached, something that very few had seen in person. It was called a memory ball, the second you put it on all of your memories would transfer to it, even some ones you didn't remember like ones from early childhood. Even after it was removed, it would continue to be updated with that person's memories because it was tied to that magical signature. The figure then spoke two words before throwing the memory ball to the floor, shattering it and immersing them all into the memories from start to finish but none of them realized it at first, all too caught on what was said.

"Kill me."

When the Elite and the Dark Lord all refocused they realized the figure didn't follow them in, which wasn't too concerning considering when you were watching the memories nothing from the outside world could affect you and you couldn't get out until the memories were finished. The next thing they all noticed was that there was a baby in a cot and they could hear voices outside of the room so they listened since they had no way out of the memories until they were over.

"We need to kill him, you saw him talk to those snakes James, he is evil. I already had to stay friends with that slimy Slytherin when I wanted to stop talking to him when we got to Hogwarts. Dumbledore paid me to make sure he relied on me as his only friend and to turn my back on him so that he was pushed to the Dark and it worked. Snape is evil just like that baby, I can't believe that I gave birth to that freak, maybe we could kill him and blame Snape since I gave him love potions so that he would always love me. We can just say that he got jealous and killed him out of revenge over the fact that I didn't choose him." A woman was heard stating not far from the nursery door.

"I know Lils, but we can't kill him yet, the Headmaster said that the Dark Lord would have too, he already had some who overheard the prophecy so that he could leak it out and make sure it gets back to You-Know-Who. You should have dropped Snivellus before Hogwarts regardless of the money, no one likes that slimy git." Everyone looked at each other as they realized who the memories were from and who was speaking, no one could believe what they were hearing. Lucius grabbed Severus' hand in support as he realized that Lily had never cared for him and was drugging him to make him think that he loved her, Narcissa was disgusted that parents were plotting to kill their own child, and Voldemort was angry.

Angry that he had been played by the old man, angry that he had been deceived, angry that they were planning to kill a child because despite popular belief the dark side did not tolerate anything against children, rape, sexual assault, or abuse. He had only gone after the child to stop the potential threat to his mission which admittedly backfired but he was working on getting back on track now since he had a body. He could also scrap the plans to break into the ministry to receive the prophecy.
