Severus and The Lone Wolf Blood (Book 1)

The Unexpected Prize

Harry, Cedric, and I landed in a familiar graveyard. I got up and dusted myself off. "Are you two alright?" I asked. "Yeah, you?" Asked Harry. I nodded. "Where are we?" Asked Cedric. I saw the grave that said 'Thomas Riddle'. I backed away slowly, knowing exactly where we were. "I've been here before." Harry whispered. "Harry I remember what happened after I went with Moody! This is where he brought me! We have to get out of here!" I shouted. "Cedric, we have to get back to the cup? Now!" Harry shouted. "What are you two talking about?" He asked in confusion. Harry let out a shout and held his head in pain. "What is it?" Cedric asked. I was already moving for Cedric. "Get back to the cup!" Harry shouted. I saw Wormtail and coming out of the shack carrying the bundle. "Who are you? What do you want?" Cedric demanded. "Kill the spare." The bundle hissed. Wormtail casted a spell but it was too late. I had reached Cedric and tackled him down to the ground but he was already dead. "No!!" I screamed. "Cedric!" Harry shouted. Cedric laid dead on the ground. I saw the black veins prodruding as my eyes changed colour. Wormtail pulled Harry closer and a statue grabbed a hold of Harry, trapping him. "Do it, now!" The bundle ordered. Wormtail dropped it into a cauldron. I was shifting. "Bones of the father, unwillingly given." Wormtail chanted. A bone hovered in the air under Wormtail's control then he dropped it into the cauldron. "Flesh of the servent willingly sacrificed." He took a knife and slashed his arm over the cauldron. I stood up as my wolf. I snarled. "Blood of the enemy forcibly taken." I jumped inbetween them, baring my teeth at Wormtail. He twitched nervously. I backed him away from Harry. I heard Harry cry out and turned to see what was the matter but with a flick of Wormtail's wand, I flew to the side and hit a tomb stone. He took the knife to Harry and cut at his arm. Harry shouted in pain. Wormtail then took the knife over to the cauldron and let the drops fall into it. I shifted back. "No!" I shouted. "The dark lord shall rise again." Wormtail whispered and backed away from the cauldron. The cauldron bursted into flames and a reformed. Voldemort emerged as whisps of black smoke circled around him and formed into black robes. He rubbed his bald head and his eyes opened. I got up and ran to stand infront of Harry, trying despratly to free him. "My wand Wormtail." Wormtail handed him the wand and bowed deeply. I tried with all my might to break the statue but it wouldn't budge. "Hold out your arm." Wormtail held out his stubby arm. "Master. Thank you master."

"The other arm Wormtail." Voldemort said in annoyance. Wormtail looked concerned, but did it anyway. Voldemort stuck his wand into Wormtail's arm. The sky changed as others responded to the summon of their master. After they all showed up Voldemort addressed them. "Welcome my friends. Thirty years it's been, and yet you stand before me as though it were only yesterday. I confess myself disappointed, not one of you tried to find me." He said. Voldemort begain slashing angrily at the hooded figures, removing their maskes until he came to the last one. "Not even you, Lucius." He hissed as he slashed the mask away causing Lucius to fall to his knees. "My lord. Had I detected any sign or even a whisper of your whereabouts-"

"There were signs my friend, and more than whispers." Voldemort hissed. "I assure you I never renounced the old ways. The face I have been obliged to present each day since your absence, that was my true mask." Lucius said. I turned to face them. "I returned." Wormtail squeeked. I started to breath heavily. "Out of fear, not loyalty. Still you have proved yourself useful these past few months Wormtail." Voldemort waved his wand, granting Wormtail a new hand. "Thank you master, thank you." Wormtail said looking at his new silver matalic hand in awe. Voldemort turned and saw Cedric's corpse. He touched his face with his foot. "Oh, such a handsome boy." Voldemort hissed. "Don't touch him!" I shouted. He turned in suprise and saw me. "Oh Jana, my love!" He said. I growled. The emerald ring floated out of my pocket and hovered before my face. "You're the one that sent it!" I shouted. He smiled and with a flick of his wand I lost all control of my body. I floated off the statue and over to where Voldemort stood. I was set on my feet. "You are an enchanting creature, Jana Vilkas. You and I are the same on the inside." He hissed as he stroked my cheek with his fingers. He got down on one knee. The ring wizzed over to his hand. I was screaming on the inside. I felt the magic swirling around us. "Jana Vilkas, wolfblood. Will you marry me, Tom Marvalo Riddle, half-blood, last decendant to Salazar Slytherin?" He asked. I bit my tongue hard trying to keep silent but it was like I was being forced. I felt an invisable force pry open my mouth. "Yes." I said. The magic stopped and it felt like a click as he put the ring on my wedding finger. My eyes widened as I was released. I fell to my knees, my eyes wide and vacant. I was breathing heavily. Harry struggled to get free. "What have you done to her?!" Harry shouted. Voldemort looked at him in suprise. "Harry! I'd almost forgotten you were here. Standing on the bones of my father. I'd introduce you but word has it you're almost as famous as me these days. The boy who lived. How lies have fed your legend Harry. Shall I reveal what reallyhappened that night thirteen years ago? Shall I divulge how I truly lost my powers? It was love. You see when dear sweet Lily Potter gave her life for her only son she provided the ultimate protection. I could not touch you. It was old magic, something I should have forseen. But no matter, no matter. Things have changed, I can touch you now!" Voldemort ran up to Harry and put his hand on Harry's head causing Harry to scream in pain. I shook it off as the veins protruded and my eyes changed. "Astonishing what a few drops of your blood will do eh Harry?" Voldemort suddenly released Harry. Harry dropped to the ground by his wand. "Pick up your wand Potter." Harry didn't move. "I said pick it up, get up. Get up!" Harry grabbed it and stood. "You've been taught how to duel I presume yes? First we bow to each other." Harry didn't budge. "Come on now Harry the niceties must be observed, Dumbledore would not want you to forget your manners now would he? I said bow!" Voldemort demanded. He then forced Harry to bow with magic. "That's better. And now..." Voldemort casted the torture curse at Harry causing him to drom to the ground, wriggling in pain. I shifted. I snarled and bared my teeth at Voldemort's back. "Atta boy Harry, your parents would be proud. Especially your filthy mongrel mother." He taunted. He stopped the curse. "I'm going to kill you Harry Potter, I'm going to destroy you. After tonight no one will ever again question my powers. After tonight if they speak of you they'll speak only of how you begged for death, and I being a merciful lord obliged. Get up." He hissed. Voldemort pulled Harry to his feet but his eyes were on me. Harry begain to move away. I threw my head back and howled. Voldemort turned to me and smirked. "That's it! Oh how I love it when your fiesty!" He shouted like an overly excited school girl. I circled him untill I had my back to Harry. I snapped, snarled, and bared my teeth. Harry hid behind the statue. With a flick of Voldemorts wand I was tossed to the side like a rag doll. "Don't you turn your back on me Harry Potter I want you to look at me when I kill you, I want to see the lights leave your eyes." Voldemort shouted. I shifted back and grabbed my wand as Harry came out from his hiding place, facing Voldemort. I got up and came to stand beside Harry with my wand at my side. "Have it your way." Harry spat. They both casted their spell and their streams of magic met. They both struggled. One of Voldemort's followers shot a spell but I deflected it. "Do nothing. He is mine to finish. He's mine!" Voldemort shouted. Shapes formed in the surrounding magical energy. Harry looked like he was listening to them. "I'll get Cedric. I'll distract them but you need to get the cup." I said. I ran over to Cedric's body and pulled him closer. The connection broke and Harry ran over to me and Cedric's body. I flicked my wand and black smoke swirled around Voldemort and his followers, making it impossible to see. Harry summoned the cup over to us and  we instant the port outleaving an angry looking Voldemort.
