"You know the three unforgivable curses, correct?" The woman asked Percy.

"Of course madam red, that was the first lesson you taught me." The boy grinned.

"Good."

Madam red was a mysterious person, she never gave away her name, and instead had a red ribbon tied to her cloak just for him to recognize her. She was the only one who accepted his so called 'foolish names': deemed so by the others.

They lived with a few other death eaters in hiding, who rarely acknowledged the boy; and when they did, they seemed to only throw insults his way.

"So, how about we practice them?"

Percy froze, "w-Wait, won't that hurt people?"

"Of course, and that's the point. If we are to defeat the bad guys, we must use any means possible." Madam red explained. Percy had a soft spot for people, and she knew she'd have to break it, but she had a plan.

"We are the good guys, right?" Percy asked.

"Of course dear."

Percy sighed. "I don't want to hurt anyone though.."

Madam Red kneeled down to look Percy in the eyes. "If we don't use these means, then they will just do the same to us. Trust me Percy, this is the only possible way."

She led the boy towards the basement, where a few wizards were tied up.

"Why are we going to harm them?" Percy asked.
"They're filthy Mudbloods, they have no place among us." Madam red explained.

"First; Imper-" She tried cast the spell at the first Mudblood, interrupted by him grabbing a nearby knife and cutting himself loose and springing onto her; viciously stabbing her. "Percy, run!" She shouted before letting out a groan of pain. Percy stood, suspended in fear for only a second. The next he finished her attempted spell "Imperio!!" He shouted in sudden courage.

The man took the knife and stabbed himself in the heart.

'These bad men, they're crazy! They'll hurt everyone and anyone without remorse.. I need to protect us. All of us.' Percy thought.

Madam Red grabbed a healing potion from the counter, one she strategically kept there, and she drank it. The wound healed up within seconds.

"Now, it's our turn," Madam continued, "before they hurt me again. They're crazy my dear."

He pointed his wand at one of the tied up mudbloods, and cast the spell. "IMPERIO!"

He forced the Mudblood to grab the knife that was placed beside her, and made her stab herself in the head. She screamed and fell to the floor, immediately dying.

"Next, Crucio!" She yelled as she cast the spell on her last Mudblood. Percy had one more as well, so he would get to torture this one before he killed it. That thought excited him for reasons he did not understand.

The Mudblood fell to the floor, screaming in pain.

"Now, you need to feel extreme hatred towards the one you cast this on, or it won't be as effective." Madam red explained.

Percy nodded, raising his wand at the Mudblood scum in front of him.

He narrowed his eyes and fueled his hatred for the man. "CRUCIO!" Percy cast, the man rolling on the floor screaming in utter pain.

Madam red looked at Percy in approval. "Very good."

Percy grinned, a sudden flash of maturity and strength in his eyes; and a heavy pit of dread and anger festering in his heart.

"Lastly, the killing curse." She pointed her wand at the screaming Mudblood, "AVADA KEDEVRA!"

The woman stopped screaming as well as breathing. "Now this spell is easy. The one who the spell is casted on immediately dies. Simple."

"That's v-very powerful." Percy noted in a slight sweat.

"There's only one wizard who survived the curse."

"There is.?" Percy asked.

"Yes, Harry Potter. The dark lord killed his parents many years ago, and as you know, he was put into a weakened form. That was due to the child. Harry was born from evil, his own mother was a filthy mudblood. He has inherited that evil and will not hesitate to kill you or anyone you care about. "

"So the dark lord is in hiding because of Harry Potter?" Percy asked spitefully.

Madam red nodded sadly, with a tear falling down her face. "They've labeled us as evil. As bad. When they are the ones to break families and hearts and innocent life. The ones to put the dark lord in hiding. And Harry Potter; he is to be the worst of them."

"I hate him. Can I be the one to finish him off?" Percy growled.

"How about you finish off your Mudblood? I'm getting quite tired of his sobs; the cheap illusion of feelings they put on.. I can't imagine."

Percy nodded as he raised his wand, and casted the spell: his brows furrowed deeply. "AVADA KEDEVRA!"

The man died, and Percy smirked with pride. "I did it madam! I cast all the curses to all those disgusting, hideous Mudbloods!"

"All of the unforgivable ones, yes. Good job Percy," Madam Red told the boy. "You are such a good boy."

"You still have a long way to go until you can rival Harry Potter, but this is definitely a great help."

Percy nodded.

"What's the secret to becoming a powerful wizard like Voldemort?" He asked.

"Percy, dear, you call him dark lord." Madam red hissed. "But, the secret is training and having no empathy for your opponent. After all, they have even less for you. They are swine. They can't feel."

"Why do we call him the dark lord if he is not evil?" Percy asked.

Madam red sighed, "because, he takes action and kills his enemies, it is a dark thing but very necessary. If he didn't, you would be dead, along with many other deaths eaters."

"Okay that makes sense... I want to know more magic though.."

"Okay, how about Occlumency?" She suggested.

"What's that?" Percy asked.

"It's the act of closing ones mind against Legilimency."

"Wha-"

"Legilimency is the act of going through ones mind." Madam red explained.

"Oh, that makes more sense." Said Percy.

Madam red smiled, "so for this I'll have to go into the darkest memories in your mind, and you shall resist. Simple enough?"

Percy nodded. Then memories began flashing in his head.

"Look at this damned child, why would anyone want to train that! We should just kill it before it becomes a problem!"

"I'm not a problem!"

"Then why did your parents let themselves get killed? It was the only way they could be rid of you in their lives!"

~

"AVADA KEDEVRA!"

"You must kill your enemies, Percy."

"I-I don't want to kill anyone!"

~

"You are just like your damned father!"

"I don't even know my father!"

"That's because he hated you!"

"But.. he was killed.."

"So was your damn mother!"

Percy resisted as much as he could, and to his surprise, it worked. The memories disappeared and Madam Red looked distressed.

"That went pretty well. You must resist immediately though, do not let your enemy know your secrets, or else all will fail." She told the boy.

Percy grabbed her hand, his voice full of concern."Madam red, are you ok? I didn't hurt you did I? If so I'm dearly sorry.."

She smiled, "No sweety. You didn't hurt me. Thank-you for your concern though." She stood up and kissed his head. "Such a perfect boy you are." A lost sadness resonated on her voice, which confused Percy but he didn't ask, he got the hint she wouldn't even completely know why.

Madam Red used Legilimency on Percy several times, he apologized to her every time and each time his reaction became better, and by the next morning, he was very skilled at Occlumency. Of course, this took him having to face his least favorite memories, but he knew it would be well worth it in the end. Madam red approached him, kissing his head and wrapping her arm around his tiny shoulder. "Happy tenth, dear."
