The Girl Who Disappeared (Harry Potter Fan-fiction)

Chapter 71

Maurelle flew back to the Manor the next night, her dark shadow trails along with her as she swiftly arrives to her destination. She walks through the gate and onto the pathway, making her way inside. When she arrives she sees everyone with the dark mark on the table. She sees Snape and Lucius who was freed, and alongside him was Draco, looking down.

"Maurelle, I was beginning to worry that you have lost your way." Voldemort said.

"Haha, very funny." she sarcastically said.

"Come, beside me." Voldemort said.

Maurelle walked over to him and stood beside his chair.

"Do you bring news?" he said.

"I've taken care of the traitor." Maurelle lied to make him think she killed Percival.

"Good, as it should be." he believed it.

"Ahem. My Lord. I'd like to volunteer myself for this task. I want to kill the boy." Bellatrix said.

A voice was heard from a distance.

"Wormtail! Have I not spoken to you about keeping our guest quiet?" Voldemort said.

"Yes, my Lord. Right away, my Lord." Wormtail said as he brought a hostage slightly closer to them.

"As inspiring as I find your bloodlust, Bellatrix...I must be the one to kill Harry Potter." Voldemort said to her. He then turned to look at all of his death eaters,"But I face an unfortunate complication. That my wand and Potter's share the same core. They are, in some ways, twins. We can wound, but not fatally harm one another. If I am to kill him. I must do it with another wand." He gets up from his seat and walks behind his followers, intimidating them with every step. Scared for what he will do," Well, surely one of you would like the honors."

Maurelle chuckled to herself, seeing how each and every one of them was afraid. Voldemort heard her laugh to herself, and called her out," Maurelle, would you let me take your wand?"

"Haaaa! You wish." Maurelle laughed.

The death eaters started to look around at each other, exchanging glances.

"I'm not letting you touch my mother's wand. You're not worthy to hold such a legendry wand," she said.

That comment earned moans and groans from the death eaters. Sounds of disapproval.

"Pity." He said respecting Maurelle and Iris' wishes. He remembered Iris never letting him touch her wand, even just to hold it.

"With all jokes aside, I'm not letting you risk my wand being destroyed. After all, you are borrowing it."

The death eaters did not know that this may be the cause, making them even more reluctant in lending him theirs.

He then came over to Lucius,"What about you, Lucius?"

"My Lord?" Lucius said.

"My Lord?" Voldemort mocked him, making Maurelle giggle. He smiled to himself, as he made his daughter laugh. "I require your wand."

Lucius removed his wand from his cane, and slowly gave it to Voldemort, with his hands shaking.

"Do I detect elm?" Voldemort said.

"Yes, my Lord." Lucius said.

Voldemort ripped the bottom piece that was part of the cane, making Lucius flinch,"And the core?"

"Dragon." Lucius said faintly but cleared his throat to say it again,"Ahem. Dragon." a little louder than before.

"Dragon heartstring." Voldemort siad.
