Harry Potter Prequal : The Wizard's Tale

Chapter 1 - The House

The shinning moon above the starry night continues to mock Remus Lupin as he walks through the corridors of Hogwarts.

"Sirius its almost midnight, it you want to show us?" muttered the nervous Remus.

"Yeah Sirius, off with it then" added James Potter.

"We'll get there when we get there.

They were walking straight to the main gate of Hogwarts.

The night's sky continued to fall over the heads of the three. Surely it was past bed time and they were breaking dozens of school rules. Remus who was staring at his small-box-like watch was beginning to worry for what may happen to them, it may be something dreadful or maybe something amusing.

"What are we doing here in Grimmauld Place? " said James.

"This is my parent's house."

"I thought you said they were dead? "

"No I didn't"

"Well even if this is you parent's house... Why does it have muggles in it?" said Remus.

"Oh, this townhouse is not the house of my parents. "

"Number 12 Grimmauld Place."

Then, the townhouse rumbled, the muggles were still calm. Then, within a second another lot appeared. The muggles continued what they were doing. The three did not hesitate to enter the lot.

"Wow, talk about space over here, your parent's house sure is small." muttered Remus.

"Knock it off Remus, my parents did alot of hardwork to build this house."

"Yeah..I wonder where is the bathroom here."

Then, from afar, they heard noises, mumbles and whispers.

A meeting was being held.

"Tom Riddle is creating his own army." said the strange voice.

"But, he has less people to join his army."

"Then let him use the Ball of Death!" said another strange voice.

"The Ball of Death only releases Death Eaters, are you sure it is enough for him?"

"Yes, but the only thing that stands in his way to get the Ball of Death is Albus Dumbledore."

"Indeed, in order to get the Ball of Death, we must kill Dumbledore first."

James' fists clenched, he wanted to punnch everyone in the room and at the same time hit them with the most powerful spells in his wand.

"Who do you think is talking in your parent's-house?" asked Remus.

"I don't know, but whoever they are, my parents don't know them."

The meeting continued.

"How will we kill the Greatest Wizard in the Wizarding World?"

"The Dark Lord himself can answer that question"

Then, the three heard an eery sound, it was the door. The three quickly hid in the closet room where they could still hear the meeting.

"I want to kill Dumble-"

"NO" shouted another voice.

The voice sounded familliar, it was Tom Riddle.

"I am sorry my Lord-"

"I must be the one to kill Albus."

"But, my Lord, what about the Ministry? I'm sure they will find out about all of this, they are electing a new Prime Minister and maybe the new Prime Minister might blame us for the murder of Dumbledore."

"Thats why we wait Lucius, we do not like to be blamed."

"And, the boy?"

"Yes, the boy."

"The prophecy says, his son will be the one to overthrow you."

"I will take care of the boy"

"What boy are they talking about?" asked James.

"I don't know"

"We should better get out of here its pretty dangerous for us fifth years." said Remus.
