A Hogwarts Legend: Changing Paths [3]

Prologue

Disclaimers and others:
I do not own any part of Harry Potter. I simply love the books and have decided to make a fanfiction about it. If anything need editing please tell me, and just have fun reading!

Her curly blonde hair swinging, a figure moves forward, a black mask upon her face. She moves through the dark house methodically as if she's made this journey many times before. And indeed she has, especially in the last week, with all the planning needed to pull off the attack.

She turns a corner, and her master is waiting, silver mask adorned on his face.

"Did it all go to plan?" he asks, sneering slightly.

"I went to St Mungo's as you requested. The women is dead and the man is close behind."

"Good," he says, sounding pleased. "She's been taught a lesson, a lesson she sorely deserved."

The girl seems uncomfortable as she fidgets with the hem of her cloak. "Isn't it a bit harsh to kill her parents?"

Angrily, he rounds on her "I hope your not having second thoughts. I thought you would have learned by now not to doubt me."

"No master, of course," she says hastily, bowing her head. "My apologies."

"Good, I don't want to loose my intel. You are, after all, my way of finding out all the news at Hogwarts."

"Don't you mean, you don't want to loose your servant," she says sulkily.

The man slowly turns towards her and suddenly grabs her by the arm, wrenching her towards him. "You can be replaced, this attitude will not be tolerated. Remember your place," he hisses.

"I'm sorry," she gasps.

He drops her to the floor. "Oh you will be." He pulls up his sleeves and draws his wand.

"Let this be a reminder of my power. Crucio!" And the girls screams fill the room.
