Chapter five

I checked the mirror and the glamor a last time and then aparated strait in to Malfoy manor. I've been keyed in the wards sins I visited Abraxas Malfoy all those years ago. Man im old. I think as I go stand in the corner to wait for the death eaters to arrive.

Five minutes the first ones start to aparate in. They look at me a little confused as i am not wearing a mask or death eater robe. But I pay them no attention and just wait for the meeting to start.

After ten more minutes the room is full of death eaters. People are still staring at me and then Lucius comes over to me.

Did someone else let you in he asked. I shook my head and said. Im keyed in to the ward. He is about to ask how. But I cut him of and ask. Were should I stand? He thinks and then says that i can stand were I stand sins im not a death eater. And then he walks away and takes his place in the front with the rest of the inner circle.

I stand against the wall with my arms crossed and look out over the room. And then the doors open and a figure with a hood walk up to the front and everybody except me goes down on there knees.

His magic feels amazing and the ring hums in agreement. Then a voice says Rise my loyal followers. And he pulls down the hood and I almost choke on my spit. Dear merlin! What the heck is that! I think as I try to get my self together. I don't know if I should laugh or cry at the sight. Did the ritual go wrong or something. Where is the nose and lips

It's hard to concentrate on the meeting again. Some Death eaters are giving reports about the ministry and other things. Then when a death eater is not finished with his task Voldemort puts him under the cruciatus curse. After half an hour of more crucios. the meeting starts to come to an end.

Im shocked at how much he tortured his death eaters for almost nothing. Less sane then I hoped for but maybe I can fix that. And the snake look hopefully.

When everyone except me and the inner circle have left. I see Lucius talking with Voldemort end then come over to me. I will take you to the office follow me. I know the way. I tell him as we walk out and down the corridor. When we get there i mask the ring and my magic before he knocks. Enter. A voice says and we walk in. I walk forward and he says. So Lucius tells me you have something I need? He nods to a chair. I sit down end say. Yes it concerns a specific diary. Lucius makes a chocking noise and Voldemort looks more serious now. Lucius leave us! he says and Lucius bows then leaves.

Unmask your magic now. he says. I take a deep breath and unmask my magic but not the ring. And now the glamor. he says. I can see that he knows who I am. So I drop the glamor and he stands up circles me and checks me over.

It fells weird when he does that but I sit still and look strait. Then he sits down again and says. I thought you were dead? I look at him and say I could have been. He looks at me and says Explain.

I start telling him about Ginny and The camber of secrets. And he says I thought the Potter brat stabbed the diary? He sees me shiver at the memory.

Paranoia saved me I said. When the basilisk started chasing Potter in the tunnels I started thinking of what Ginny told me about when he survived and destroyed you. I did not want to take any chances of him killing me I duplicated the diary and hid the real one. Then Potter stabbed the fake diary and i pretended to die. And went in to the diary and broke the connection with Ginny. I said

If i had not done that I would have been dead. I said then shivered again. Interesting says. And I continue to tell him about how i came back. He then asks me were i live. I tell him that I live in the apartment of the wizard that brought me back.

He looks at me and says Your going to live here. I am about to disagree. But he says No arguments! Im about to argue anyway. And he smirks at me and says. We can't have a fifteen year old living alone in an apartment can we? I just glare at him and he smirks again. He calls on an house elf and tells it to go and collect my stuff from the apartment and bring it to his wing at the manor.

Then he turns to me and says Welcome home! And walks out.
