Don - Ruler of the World
A/N: I do not own any Harry Potter Characters, just my Laurel and her family and anyone you don’t already recognize.
OK Kiddies, as Ch 5 was just a droplet, I thought I’d toss in Ch 6 too. Anyway, Ch 7 FINALLY brings our darling Draco into the picture, so I thought I’d pick up the pace a bit with these 2 short chappies.

Thanks and go read!
CHAPTER 6 – DON – RULER OF THE WORLD
Lucius Malfoy swept into the castle chamber followed by Wormtail and a young, good looking wizard with dark hair and green eyes.
The young wizard was tall and broad shouldered and had been told on many occasions (to his secret pleasure) that he resembled the famous Harry Potter. Now, however, his good looks were marred by the pale, fearful countenance that consumed him. He was trembling slightly and kept as far behind Lucius as he could. He didn’t see the Dark Lord standing in the shadows until he’d stepped forward into the light, his red eyes gleaming.
The boy gasped and took several steps back, tripping and falling onto his bottom, he skittered even further away until he ran into Wormtail. At this Wormtail gave him a fierce kick in the back and growled “Stand and face your Master, boy!”
Lucius had taken up a position by the fireside and looked on with cool indifference. He was not looking forward to the scene about to unfold. Lucius stood tall and straight, his shoulders set, grey eyes fixed on the Dark Lord. He jumped slightly when Voldemort addressed him.
“Lucius,” he drawled, “You have good news for me, no doubt?” Voldemort’s eyes narrowed as he looked at his servant.
Lucius groaned inwardly, but his exterior remained cool, unaffected. “My Lord,” he began, bowing graciously, “I have brought the boy here myself, so that he may give you an exact account of the events as they occurred.” His eyes flicked quickly to the young man still sitting on the floor and then back to the Dark Lord.
Voldemort turned slowly to the boy shaking on the floor. “Get up boy and face your Master.”
The wizard rose and with heaving breath, squared his shoulders and fixed his eyes on Voldemort.
“You have been given a simple task to fulfill for me boy. Have you done your Master’s service?” Voldemort’s tone was calm.
The boy’s eyes flew to Lucius and back to Voldemort. Lucius simply gave a slight nod and the frightened wizard gulped and began, “I – I did as I was instructed to do mm-my lord.” he stammered.
“The problem is gone then?” Voldemort persisted.
At this the boy began to shake.
“Answer the Dark Lord directly Charlaton, and stop dancing around. Your Master has asked you plainly enough.” Lucius voice was cold and clipped.
“I carried out my orders…..my Lord.” Charlaton whispered. “But,” he squeaked, “but the plans given to me were flawed my Lord!” Charlaton had finally found his voice. “I – I” he cleared his throat, “I told them that curse wouldn’t work. I told them we needed to do the Killing Curse and be done with it, but they wouldn’t listen!” he finished, breathless and flushed. The wizard looked down now, his eyes glistening with tears.
Voldemort assessed him coolly. “You failed me then boy?” he asked, his eyes narrowing to gleaming slits.
“NO my Master…I did as I was asked! I pleaded with them and yet I still did as I was instructed. I followed your command!”
Voldemort spoke softly, “My command was to fulfill my request. I don’t need to know the details of your failed attempt.”
At this the boy began to tremble anew and he peered pleadingly at Lucius who was facing toward the window.
“But I did as I was told…..” he trailed off weakly, fear and trepidation beginning to sink in.
“What is your name boy?” Voldemort asked.
“Charlaton, my Lord, Donald Charlaton.”
Voldemort sneered at this. “Do you know what your name means boy?”
“My Lord?.....No my Lord.” Don shook his head.
“Donald. Do you know what your name Donald means?”
Don looked confused. “No my Lord, I do not.”
Lucius did. He looked back at the Dark Lord now, his demeanor slightly strained, but calm.
The Dark Lord continued in a calm, almost pleasant voice. “Don or Donald – it means, ruler of the world.” he paused, “I personally feel however, that at this point.” Voldemort smiled a cold, wicked smile “there can only be one ruler of this world.”
He pulled out his wand from his robes and looked at Don who was shaking and looking wildly around. Voldemort glanced at Wormtail and instantly a silver hand shot out and grasped the boy at the nape of his neck and he screamed.
Voldemort laughed now openly, a soulless laugh, pointing his wand at the Don’s chest.
“NO!” Don screamed, terror sweeping across his body as the realization of what was about to happen sunk in. “NO PLEASE, I DID AS I WAS TOLD!.... MY LORD!”
“That’s exactly right Donald, I am YOUR Lord.” Voldemort stated imperiously and with that he raised his wand and said softly “Avada Kedavra….I am that ruler!”
Wormtail let go of Don as his lifeless body sank down and slumped before them.
Voldemort looked with indifference at the dead boy and turned hateful eyes to Wormtail. “Why is that still here?”
Wormtail was already moving to heave the body from his Master’s presence, squeaking nervously, “I’m sorry my Lord, forgive my slowness my Lord!” and gasping as he opened the heavy wooden door to pull the boy from the room.
“Lucius” Voldemort whispered turning to face him directly, “I grow tired of the insolence and stupidity of your charges.”
Lucius steeled his chin and nodded, “Yes my Lord.” He was sorely tempted to remind Voldemort it was his own idea to do the ‘Amatore Blasphemare’ or Lover’s Curse not Lucius’.
“Lucius” he continued, drifting closer to him and gazing into the fire, “You are one of my most useful servants.”
“Thank you my Lord.”
“But, do not let your arrogance or rank in my empire mistake your usefulness to me for something more than it is.”
“Yes, of course my Lord.” Lucius bowed again, a slight edge to his voice evident.
“I am very patient with my trusted servants Lucius, and I have been exceedingly lenient with your grandiose mistakes and lack of devotion to me in the past.” At this Lucius paled slightly and nodded again. “I think however, from now on I shall not be so forgiving of your stupidity.”
“My Lord,” Lucius said smoothly, “as always I am in awe of your generosity toward me.” He continued, “I will from this point on personally oversee all aspects of the mission to ensure your plans are carried forth without haste or error. I am confident in our most trusted sympathizers and as always, your servants are most anxious to fulfill your every desire, as they are our desires as well.”
This seemed to pacify Voldemort. “Yes, yes, they are. Very well Lucius, leave at once and find out where my latest obstacle has vanished too.”
“At once my Lord.” Lucius bowed again, low. “I live to serve you only.” With that he swept to the door, his cloak billowing behind him.
“Lucius” Voldemort whispered, Lucius turned to look at him. “Don’t forget that.”
Lucius’ eyes blazing stormy grey, responded through gritted teeth, “Never my Lord.”
