you make your own destiny

chapter 10

Voldemort sat in a comfortable chair in his room. He

had sent Hermione and Harry off to bed and had also

shown Moody to a room of his own.



Now, he sat and thought back on what was maybe the

strangest meeting he ever had.



-----------------flashback----------------------------------------------------------------------------



"I'll join," he heard Hermione say. Then came Harry's

voice.



"And you won't be alone."



A loud thump sounded and they looked and saw that

nearly all his Death Eaters had fainted except for

Bellatrix and Barty. They stood and looked surprised

at their declaration.



"Why do I even bother with them?" he said.



"Maybe because if you don't, you wouldn't win the

war," Moody said. "Would it be a good time to say

that I will join too?"



This time Barty fainted.



"Oh bugger. Well off to bed, you two," Voldemort said

to Harry and Hermione. "We will talk tomorrow. It's

past your bedtime."



They walked off and to bed.



"Okay now to bring my followers back into the land of

the living," he said dryly. "Ennavete."



All the Death Eaters woke and sat up.



"I had this strange dream that Harry and Miss Granger

said they would join the Death Eaters," Dolohov said.



"It wasn't a dream, Lucius. They did," Voldemort

said. "Don't you dare faint again."



"And Hermione is really your daughter?" Bellatrix

asked.



"Yes she is," he answered. "You may not remember her

mother Aliza."



All the Death Eaters looked down. They certainly

remembered her, but it was taboo to even speak of her.



"Now no one is to say anything about what happened

here," he said in a serious voice. "If I find out

that it has slipped, it means instant death. Have I

made myself clear.?"



All nodded and left.



"Moody, what I'm going to ask you will not be easy."



"I'm ready for anything," Moody answered.



"How good is your Occlumency?" Voldemort asked.



"Nobody can get through, not even you," Moody

answered.



"I hope it will not come to that particular test,"

Voldemort said. "But make no mistake about it, if my

daughter's and Harry's lives depend on it, I will use

it."



"I wouldn't have it any other way," Moody said

smiling. "I wouldn't trust you with them if you

didn't have it that way."



Voldemort just smiled at that and went on telling what

he wanted of moody.

He knew that he had to have a difficult conversation

with Hermione about her mother, but it was still very

hard for him to talk about her.



He also had to talk to Harry about his choice to join

today. Not that he was unhappy about it, but

Voldemort had to make sure Harry knew the consequences

of it.



But for now, he was content in his knowledge that he

now had a spy in the Order that no one knew about.
