Chapter 5

Tom replaced his glamour and called Lucius, Severus, and Draco back in. All were surprised to see Diemos still standing, much less smiling.

“Lucius, your arm. I am calling a full meeting. Masks on, hoods up, everyone!”

Diemos conjured his own robes and a blood red mask.

“Red?” asked Voldemort.

“I thought it appropriate.” replied Diemos.

Voldemort shrugged then placed the tip of his wand to Lucius’ forearm. Within minutes hundreds of Death Eaters had filled the room. Severus, Lucius, and Draco moved to take their places with the Inner Circle. Diemos remained standing at Voldemort’s side, smirking at the looks of shock on his father’s face.

“Greetings, my faithful Death Eaters. I have called you tonight for an important reason. I have an announcement. Harry Potter is DEAD!” he paused to allow the cheering that followed. “Yes, it is wonderful news. Our enemies have no one to rally behind any longer. His death was caused by this man beside me. You may all be wondering who he is. As of today he is my partner. My ally. His title is The Prince of Fear; you may address him as My Prince. He is the vampire that killed the boy wonder and his family. He answers to no one and will be treated as you would treat me. I have made him my equal (pauses for gasps at this statement) and now I shall mark him as one. Prince, if you would come forward and bare your arm.”

Diemos stepped up to Voldemort and presented his arm. Voldemort placed his wand on the exposed flesh and began chanting in Parsletongue. A short while and a burst of light later, and a green python wrapped around a bleeding violet rose appeared. “You may now mark me, Prince.”

Diemos repeated the spell and the mark appeared on Voldemorts arm.

The assembled crowd was silent with shock. First, the announcement of Harry Potter’s death at Lord Voldemorts orders. Then, this startling announcement of a new lord and the marking ceremony. This was shaping up to be a momentous occasion. They had all heard of the boy-who-lived’s’ death but now they knew the details.

“Go. Prepare yourselves. The end of this war is near. You shall be called again soon with your orders. We will end this once and for all.”

With that the Death Eaters were dismissed and only the Inner Circle remained. They all removed their hoods and masks.

“Ah…my most loyal and trusted servants. Prince, I introduce my Inner Circle. Lucius and Draco Malfoy, Severus Snape you know. The rest are Bellatrix Lestrange and her husband Rodolphus, his brother Rabastan, Mark Avery, Jacob Nott, Gaius Crabbe, Vaspian Goyle, Stevan McNair, and there is one other who I have on an assignment. Everyone this is Prince or as you may come to know him, Diemos Snape.”

Diemos lowered his hood and removed his mask. He looked over the confused glances of the inner circle members that hadn’t already known him.

“My name is Diemos Snape. That man over there is my father. I am not going to go into the whole story right now. Those of you, who do know, feel free to inform the others. Since you all will be spending so much time in the manor we thought you should know what I looked like and my name. You do not have to refer to me as Prince unless I am in robes and mask. That’s all.” Diemos turned to Voldemort, “If you need me I will be in the library.” With that he turned and swept from the room, leaving a confused group of people staring after him.

“Well, he is definitely your son, Severus. I could tell just from the way he left the room,” teased Bella.

“I dare you to tell him that, Bella,” Severus answered.

“You’re on,” she replied and took off following Diemos.

“Your son is the most infuriating person I’ve ever had the displeasure of meeting. Has he always been like this?”

“No, milord. It seems my son has discovered his backbone,” Severus replied.

“If he has, then I think we should all be very afraid,” stated Draco.

“I couldn’t agree more, Young Master Malfoy. I have a feeling he will make the world tremble at his feet. I think we should all be afraid, very afraid.”

Tom found Diemos lounging in the library. He was sitting on the couch, feet propped up, reading a book. “The Vampire In You a good choice. Are you finally getting in touch with your inner demon, Diemos?”

“Ha ha. Very Funny. I just decided I needed to understand what was going on with me.”

“Anything wrong?”

“Not really. I just have this feeling that I can’t put my finger on.”

“Ok. Did Bella find you?”

“Yes. That woman is very strange. She told me I looked and acted like my father. I said that I couldn’t very well act like my mother because she is dead. She told me she was sad for me and that she decided to be my mother from now on. That can’t be good, right?”

“No. Now you will have her fawning all over you. I look forward to it actually. It might be funny. Now about this funny feeling. Is it blood lust?”

“No, that I understand. I know what blood lust feels like now. There is something else. Maybe I should ask my father.”

“What does it feel like?”

“Like you would understand. No, I will just ask my father. Did you want something? Or did you just come to stare at my gorgeous body while I read?”

“I came to ask you if you had any ideas on what our next move should be. And to tell you that I have guests arriving in a few hours that you will need to meet.”

“Well…”

BANG! The library door was thrown open and in ran a very disheveled Severus. “My Lord, Diemos. We have visitors.”

“What? Who? My visitors shouldn’t be arriving for hours,” said Tom.

“No, milord. Not your visitors. Um…mine I suppose. They are waiting in the meeting hall. They came to me. I don’t know how they knew where to find me or where my loyalties were. Maybe they were just hoping. I don’t know. I brought them here so they could tell you what they told me. Can’t believe them. Bloody imbeciles.”

“Father, you’re rambling. Stop it. Take a deep breath. Now, there are visitors in the meeting hall. You brought them here, but you won’t tell us who or why. Ok. Tom, I think we should go and meet these visitors. They seem to have made my normally loquacious father into a rambling fool. I must remember to thank them.”

Diemos donned his Prince attire and Tom became Voldemort. Together they took off towards the meeting room.

The three men swept into the room. (Diemos really did take after his father.) /

“Severus, introduce your guests,” Voldemort commanded.

The two men turned towards Voldemort. There eyes betrayed their fear, but their faces were set firm in resolution.

“My lord. Prince. I introduce Remus Lupin and Sirius Black.”

“Ahh. Lord Black. Mr. Lupin. Welcome to my home. May I ask what you are doing here?”

/ I want to know what they hell they are here for too. Did Dumbledore send them because he no longer has my father? Or do they want to join us? If so…why? Do they know the truth? What do they know?/

/If you would shut up I will ask them. They can’t lie. This room has a truth spell. It let’s me know when someone is lying./ Diemos moved to stand behind Voldemort and let him handle them.

“Please forgive The Prince he is a little impatient.”
“The Prince?’ asked Remus.

“Yes. His official title is The Prince of Fear. We will talk about him later. Tell me why you are here and why I shouldn’t kill you where you stand.”

“I-well-um. We want to join you,” announced Sirius.

“You want to be a Death Eater? Why?”

“Dumbledore. We want our revenge on Dumbledore. It’s his fault Harry is dead. Everything is his fault. Harry’s whole miserable life was his fault. If not for him Harry would’ve grown up in a loving home knowing everything he should have. If not for him I would not have spent thirteen years in Azkaban. If not for him everything would have been better. He deserves a painful and degrading death.”

Voldemort pondered this for a moment. “So you would join us to get revenge?”

“Yes,” Sirius responded.

“Even if it were to mean following orders from Prince? He is the vampire that killed Potter. You would also have to take orders from me. I killed Lily and James Potter, remember?”

“We know. But the way we see it Dumbledore is responsible for that too. He is a powerful Legilimens he should have been able to tell that Peter Pettigrew was a Death Eater. He should never have made him their secret keeper. He should have known.”

“Would you kill?”

“If ordered? Yes. We would feel badly, but if it must be done we would do it.”

“Both of you? Lord Black has spoken but what about you, Mr. Lupin? Would you kill one of your ‘friends’ if I ordered you to?”

“I would not like it but I would do it. Besides, Sirius is the only friend I have. Where he goes I go.”

“Very well. Give me a moment to converse with Prince. I will then give you an answer.” Voldemort grabbed Prince by the arm and pulled him into the anti-room.

“Well, go on then. I know you are just bursting with things to say.”

“I don’t know. I want to believe them. I really do. I didn’t even know them that well. I never met Sirius. I just know that he was supposed to be my godfather. Remus is my favorite teacher. He taught me a lot and we became close in my third year. How can they be so upset by my ‘death’/”

“Why does your mother’s death upset you so? It’s not that they are mad because you died. They are upset because they did not have a chance to really get to know you. They promised your mother to protect you. They knew about your mother and father, but honestly believed she went to Potter on her own. They thought they were madly in love. They think you are Potter’s son. They do not know of his manipulations. Dumbledore kept everything from them. He went so far as to make sure Lord Black went to Azkaban without a trial. He does not think them trustworthy. He thinks they would have come to me back then. I hold no such illusions. The only reason they are here now is because of you. They would have followed you wherever you went because you are Lily’s son and no other reason.”

“Do you really believe so?”

“I do.”

“Why?”

“I am not a Legilimens for nothing,” he smirked.

“You checked them?”

“Of course.”

“Will you mark them?”

“What do you think?”

“I think you should, but I think they need to be told the truth,.”

“I agree. Once they know the truth they will follow you loyally. They will do anything you tell them to. They will be completely faithful. To you. They will never be loyal to me. They will always question me. Therefore, I think you shall mark them with the Dark Mark.”

“Why can’t I have my own mark?”

“Because I will not have our troops divided. They belong to us both and we shall both command them all. I will send in Lord Black and Mr. Lupin. When you are done speaking to them, call me and we shall mark them.”

“Ok. Send them in.” Voldemort left the room and after a minute or so Remus and Sirius walked in. “Have a seat.” Prince commanded.

“I thought we were going to be marked?”

“You will, but first there are some things we need to discuss. I have some questions that need to be asked and I have some things to tell you. First, how well did you know Harry Potter?”

“I have never met him, but I feel like I know him well. Remus has told me so much about him.”

“I was his teacher his third year. I feel like I got to know him well. I wish we had become closer.”

“If you barely knew him, why are you so upset by his death?” asked Prince.

“We are upset because we never got to know him. His mother was our friend. We promised her to watch over him. He was supposed to go to me if anything happened to her. If I was incapable then Remus was to take care of him. Dumbledore made sure that never happened. He shipped me off to Azkaban without a trial and passed laws to keep Remus away from him. He then made sure to send him to those relatives He was NEVER to go to those muggles. Did you know they hated him because he was a wizard? I don’t know what Dumbledore was thinking.”

“What about Harry’s father? I thought you were his friend.”

“We were close friends all through school. After graduation, he changed. He followed Dumbledore fanatically. He never questioned anything the man said and defended him fiercely. He even began fighting with us. James and Peter became inseparable. That’s why it was such a shock when they were killed. We never thought Peter would betray James.”

“How did he ever end up with Lily?”

“You know I’m not really sure. She was in a relationship with someone else. One day she just showed up with James. She told us they had run into each other and it was love at first sight. She left the other man and married James.”

“Why are you asking questions about the Potter’s?” asked Remus.

“I just needed to know where you stand. I believe you are ready to hear the truth…”

Prince spent the next two hours telling them everything. He answered every question. Finally they asked the right one.

“How do you know all this? Who are you?”

Prince stood and removed his mask. “I am Diemos Lucius Snape. My father is Severus Snape and my mother is Lily Evans-Snape. I was formerly known as Harry Potter.”

“Harry? You used to be Harry? How? Whose body was at Privet Drive?”

“This is my true form. The glamours Dumbledore placed on me are gone. I have inherited my father’s vampire heritage. The body at Privet Drive is simply a muggle that was unlucky enough to look like ‘Harry Potter’.”

“I can’t believe it. Wow. I finally get a chance to know you. Can you call your father in here? I would like to speak with him.”

Diemos touched he mark on his arm and spoke with Voldemort. A few moments later, Severus came into the room.

“To what do I owe this honor, son?”

“Our guests wish to speak with you, father.”

“They do? Very well. Black. Lupin.”

“Severus, we are so very sorry for everything. I know Lily loved you very much. I was so confused when she showed up with James. I should have known something was wrong. You have a fine son. I hope we can put all this behind us and become friends.”

“Yes,” added Remus, ”We would like to get to know you better. A lot has changed.”

“Very well. Shall we all adjourn to the meeting hall?”

“Oh, father. Stop it. I know you haven’t been friends, but at least you could be nice.”

“Nice? I don’t do nice.”

“You’ve been nice to me lately.” Diemos quipped.

“You are my son. That’s an entirely different matter.”

“And just a few months ago you hated me. Whatever you say. Let’s go.”

The four men walked into the meeting room to join Voldemort.

“Well, is everything straightened out?” he asked.

“Yup. I bring you two new Death Eaters ready to be marked and crucio’d by you.”

“Do you always have to be such a smart ass?”

“You know you love it!”

“Do they know everything?”

“No, of course not. No one knows everything. If they did life would be very boring. But if you are referring to my previous life then, yes, they know.”

“Brat.”

“Snake.”

“Vampire.”

“Sexy.”

“S-What??”

“Never mind. Let’s get on with the show. Do we have to call everyone for a marking?”

“No, we shall just call the inner circle.”

“Goody, I get to pick on Bella!”

“Behave yourself.”

“Never.”

Sirius and Lupin were watching the exchange in total amusement. They were trying not to burst into laughter. Never would they have believed that when they begged Snape to bring them here they would find their long lost godson and watch him flirt with the Dark Lord. In fact, they never would have believed the Dark Lord could flirt if they had not seen it with their own eyes.

The inner circle was called. Remus and Sirius were marked in a quick ceremony in which they swore themselves to Diemos. They were then taken by Severus to their rooms.

The inner circle was dismissed and once again Diemos and Voldemort were left alone.



Next time on Lies....Voldemorts guests arrive.
