Voldemort

The moment his hand touched the wand that was inside Dumbledore's tomb, he felt the power that such wand held. The Elder Wand, the most powerful wand in existence was now his at last. Such a wand was wasted in a fool man like Dumbledore, but in his hands it was perfection itself. Now he could fully embrace his new world, his rightful vision of what it was best for him and his fellow wizards and he was going to make it happen soon. Oh, very soon.

Now that Dumbledore was out of his way there was only one obstacle left and with the Elder Wand in his possession, Harry Potter will not be a nuisance any longer. The boy had been lucky so far, but his luck had just run out on him at the moment he touched such a magnificent creation. Certainly, the most powerful wand in the world was more than enough to beat Potter's weaker one and it was about time for him to show the boy what genuine despair looked like.

Feeling himself in his best in a long time, at his most dominant and almighty moment, he raised his brand new wand into the sky to taste its power. Without any need of words, a lot of potent lightnings came out of it, deeply illuminating the night sky while resonating like ferocious beasts. 

It looked like a sudden lightning storm that came out of nowhere and he was pleased with the result. It felt good to come back from the shadows and even stronger than before, very good indeed. For far too long he had lived in such shadows, for far too long he had waited to be back and now, the world should know that Lord Voldemort was on his way to the top once more and stronger than ever.

"Have a taste of what is coming to you all soon and learn how to fear me again..." He whispers to himself and cast his dark mark high above in the sky, near the Hogwarts castle and watched with fascination as the huge snake coiled inside the glowing green skull in the night. He didn't have to wait more than a minute to see some Dementors gliding close to him and he laughed delighted. He has missed having a body that could feel, touch and taste, that could torture and punish as well.

"Go and spread some terror and panic..." He commanded and the vile creatures hovered toward Hogwarts and Hogsmeade. "Now Potter, it's time to punish you." Two Death Eaters, called the Carrow brothers, showed up, after seen his mark and he nodded in approval.

"Lord Voldemort... your wish is my command." The male said and he thought their timing was just perfect.

"Good. I want you to bring me the Weasley girl that's inside the castle and any other Potter's friend you can find while at it. I will be waiting inside the Forbidden Forest, don't make me wait long." He said.

"What about Snape my Lord?" The woman asked.

"Let him deal with the Hogwarts crisis as a Headmaster should, despite my desire to punish those who dare defy me, I do not wish to harm the young purebloods that will soon surrender to me. Now go and bring me Potter's closer friends, I will summon more Death Eaters so they can witness my new power and watch as I bring down Potter once and for all. I'm sure that when Potter gets the news about what is happening at his dear Hogwarts, he will come to save his friends. If not, then he is nothing more than a coward that everyone will hate and forget soon enough." He said while holding Alecto's arm to summon his followers through his dark mark and a second later, he was gone to wait inside the Forbidden Forest. He was anxious to get a few things done and specially, he was eager to show Draco how capturing Potter should be done, as well as what being a Death Eater truly means.

By the time they had rushed out of the room to search for Ginny, Hogwarts had already become a place of chaos. High above in the night sky, Voldemort's mark shined like a greenish sun, making the Dementors around the school and town run wild. The teachers had come out in a hurry, trying to keep the Dementors at bay and the students safe but it was kind of hard to do in such a sudden attack. They passed Professor McGonagall, who shouted at them to head to the great hall where it was safer, but they ignored her. Ginny's life was in danger and they didn't have the time to tell the Professor that the Carrow twins had taken her, probably to meet Voldemort.
