Hogwarts
It didn't take long for Severus Snape to head over to the headmaster's office to tell him of the new developments at Malfoy Manor.

- If what you tell me is true, Severus, we are lucky on our side.

- Why do you say it, sir? The Death Eaters are planning for the piece of the soul that Voldermort kept in Helga Hufflepuff's cup to return to absorb the one who returned in the Triwizard Tournament.

- Of course we can't allow that, Severus. If it's true that Tom can feel love, it's the best thing that could have happened to us in this war. If we put him on our side he will absorb the pieces of soul that he once abandoned and the Tom who is incapable of loving and empathy will cease to exist.

- But how do we stop them?

- Who did you say was the person for whom Tom feels love?

- I don't know, Nagini didn't give many details.

- Don't worry. We can talk to himself, don't you remember who the other piece of the union is?

Severus stared at him for a few seconds and denied coming to the same conclusion as him.

- Potter? Are you going to use that kid again?

- That kid, Snape, is our only option to save Tom and the world.

Snape decided to leave the office somewhat uneasy about the promise he had made to Lily before he died. He was nothing to that boy, he didn't even feel some affection for him but he didn't want to break his word towards the only person he loved.

The potions teacher came out in his thoughts and with that haste with which he was characterized that he did not realize that a Gryffindor girl was hiding behind the door somewhat distressed.

«Voldermort can feel love. Voldermort has changed. Why can't I let them finish him? I feel like it's too personal, I don't want him to stop being that way with me. Nor stop seeing him.»

Hermione thought to herself and changed the idea of ​​talking to the headmaster to talking to her new and just-known friend.

Mansion of the dark lord
Voldermort walked through his properties happily. It had been a long time since he sat on the refreshing grass to look up at the sky. It wasn't until he had done it again that he had realized that he had missed it.

- Nagini, I thought I would collect my horcruxes and keep them myself.

Nagini looked at her lord in concern.

- Why, my lord? Do you plan to use them?

Voldermort stared at her and spoke seriously.

- My dear friend. I know I told you to act if you noticed something strange about me but you don't have to. I feel happier than ever.

The snake moved uneasily, which he noticed but ignored as it made its way out. Casting a glamor spell on himself he walked to the nearby Muggle town, where he would have grown up if his parents had been more aware of their actions.

Hogwarts
Hermione headed for her potions teacher's office. Voldermort had told him that if he needed to see him again he should go to him. For something would have said that, his teacher must know how to contact him.

- Miss Granger. I hope you don't come here because of the mark I gave you on the love potion job. It is the right mark and the one you deserved.

- No sir. I'm not here for that, although you know that job was perfect.

- Miss Granger, you made the biggest mistake in your work. You told me that amortentia was capable of simulating the feeling of love but you never specified what the potion actually causes. I should have dropped it to five points for the clumsiness and yet I was benevolent merely taking one point off it.

- Of course I specified what it causes. The potion can simulate love but its only result is an obsession in the person.

- Of course. But what is the difference between being obsessed and being in love?

Hermione didn't follow the conversation. He had bundled her up as usual to annoy her and had forgotten why she had really gone to his office.
Without preamble, she gave him a determined look and dared to tell him what had happened to the dark lord.

- Are you telling me you've been communicating with him through Potter?

She nodded and went on with her plan.

- I must see him. He will not do anything to me, as you have noticed he has changed and if he wanted to hurt me he would have already done so.

- So you want to take advantage of those feelings blooming in the dark lord for your cause? How little Gryffindor of you.

- Are you going to help me or not?

Snape didn't reject her right away. If he sent that girl, Lily's boy wouldn't have to meddle and he liked that.

He had no choice but to accept.

Malfoy Manor
Nagini had taken advantage of her lord's absence to address Bellatrix and warn her of her master's recent mania. Retrieve his horcruxes.

Bellatrix was surprised to hear a woman's voice in her mind. Nagini was like a treasure to her lord. That he was now heading towards her like this and that she could be alone with the snake was another sign that her master was not well.

- Take it easy, Nagini. We will launch our mission tonight.

So the snake left leaving a worried Bellatrix after so long. If their mission did not go well, they could give their heads for lost.

- Ro!

She called her husband who was playing with a muggle gossip. She cast an explosion spell at the thing they called television and her husband got up angrily.

- What are you doing Bella? I was watching TV. I was thinking that when we revolt these filthy Muggles we can turn them into entertainment clowns. They don't do it bad at all.

- Shut up, Ro! We have to launch the mission. The Lord begins to doubt us.

With that statement, Rodolphus' face changed to a more serious one and he looked at his wife nodding. Today his lord would be back, the real one.
