endless list of perfect villains; lord voldemort/tom riddle (harry potter series)

“I know what you are known as,” said Dumbledore, smiling pleasantly. “But to me, I’m afraid, you will always be Tom Riddle. It is one of the irritating things about old teachers. I am afraid that they never quite forget their charges’ youthful beginnings.“

“It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more.”

Mr. Ollivander: We do not speak his name! The wand chooses the wizard, Mr. Potter. It’s not always clear why. But I think it is clear that we can expect great things from you.

So I wrote a thing...

Hermione sat looking around the bedroom she was locked in. “This is awfully lavish for a prison cell,” she muttered to herself. Shaking her head she thought about how she got into this mess. Once again her need to protect Harry put her in a precarious position. Though, she still couldn’t figure out why he was so willing to take her in Harry’s place, wasn’t Harry the chosen one?

The sound of a door opening caught her attention. Turning around she saw Narcissa Malfoy standing nervously in the doorway. “Good evening Miss Granger. Follow me to the dining room if you will,” Narcissa turned and left the room without waiting for a reply. Hermione stood and hesitantly followed her through the manor.

Entering the dining room she was taken aback. The table was set for one, and covered with all of her favorite dishes. Approaching the table she found herself even more confused when Draco appeared out of nowhere and pulled her chair out.

“Good evening Granger,” he nodded in her direction. She eyed him cautiously as he helped her push her chair in. Draco was telling her about the dishes before her but her concentration was on a conversation behind her.

“Why is she here?” Bellatrix’s distinct voice screeched. “The Dark Lord was very clear. If she didn’t eat with him, she didn’t eat.”

“Bella, she could be the one. The girl the to finally break the spell,” Narcissa calmly explained. Still not approving Bellatrix huffed and stormed out of the room, with Narcissa close behind. Leaving Hermione to contemplate what spell they’d need her to break, and what it would cost her.

“Please excuse her Miss Granger, it’s been some time since she’s been in polite company.” A very startled Hermione looked up to see Lucius Malfoy politely smiling at her.

“W-why and you being so kind to me? What do you want with me?”

“Why Miss Granger, of course we’re being kind to you. You’re our guest after all.”

Excellent use of the theme…. it made me grin once I saw where it was going!

The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches… born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies… and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not… and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives… the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies….
