Twinkle Tonight [Harry Potter]

Prologue

"Thank you all for coming," the high-pitched voice said, indicating to everyone seated at the long table. Everyone was looking at the owner of the voice, not knowing that they were being watched by a ten year old boy. "I am sure that you all are aware that the boy escaped me yet again last night," the person continued. The little boy took a step closer; everyone had just taken a deep breath, and he wanted to be apart of whatever was happening.

"My Lord, there were too many-" the man arched his back and fell to the floor. The little boy jumped backwards and hit the wall with a quiet thud. He held his breath, his eyes wide. What had happened to the man? Was he okay? He wanted to run in there and check on him, to make sure he really was okay.

"Such a waste," the high-pitched voice whispered. The man on the floor had called him Lord. Was he a king? He loved kings. His Mother read stories to him that included kings and queens. Did the Lord have a queen? The boy took a step forward, wanting to know more about this Lord. "I hate to spill pure blood," the Lord whipered again, shaking his head. "If you had of captured Potter, maybe his life would have been spared," 

Maybe his life would have been spared. So he was dead; the man on the floor. The Lord had killed him, all because he said there were too many. Too many what? What could there have been too many of? And who was Potter? Was he another king? Another Lord? 

"I think we shall make a plan! We shall kill Potter! We must finish what is already half done," the Lord said, clenching his fist and punching the air. Everyone seated at the table followed. The boy had no idea why everyone was looking at the Lord. He was a weird looking man; if you could call him that. To the boy, he looked like a snake. His eyes were small and he was extremely pale. Like his eyes, his nose was small also. Only two slits.

The boy took another step so he was almost in the room. The door was only two centimeters ajar, though it was enough to see clearly once you were close enough. Everyone was rising from their spots, their arms in the air with a piece of what looked like a stick in their hands. His Mother and Father had one of them. He had one too. Wands, they were called. 

"This meeting is over," the Lord said. If you blinked you would have missed it. With a pop he disappeared. Everyone started to murmur once he had vanished. He saw his Father across the room, his hands deep in his pockets, the corners of his mouth facing the floor. 

"Lucius," a weak voice said. The boy could only just make out the man who was talking to his father. "Lucius, what a pleasure it must be to have the Dark Lord in your home!" 

Dark Lord? Was he the Lord? This Lord must be pretty famous to have two titles. 

"Yes, it is," his Father agreed, nodding. "Though I do not understand what you are still doing here, Wormtail,"

The man - Wormtail, shruddered. "Severus is here somewhere. When it is time for him to leave, I shall follow," he said, and lowered his head. 

His Father nodded. "Oh I see. Well, I must be going, Draco will stay here and talk to you, I am sure. I must get back to Narcissa and Spencer," 

"Oh yes, okay!" Wormtail said and hurried away. 

Spencer turned around and ran. He ran to his room where he knew his Father would venture. Once his Father left the room, he would walk into Spencer's room, check if he's okay, and then go to Mother. Like he always does. 

Spencer dived into his bed and closed his eyes shut tightly. He hated being so young. He just hated it. Why couldn't he be like his brother, Draco, whom his Father trusted so much. It was unfair. He may only be ten, but who would he tell the secrets his Father would tell him? He was locked up in his house for the whole day, not once leaving. 

He wanted to change it. He had to change it. And he would, starting as soon as he was old enough to attend Hogwarts.
