Chapter 43-Voldemort's return
Thank you MadNerdLogic for inspiring this scene.. It was your amazing book with the character Colette and Cole Turner for giving me this idea!
Colette found herself standing in the chimney of the Malfoy Manor. It was dark,Ghastly and Gloomy. Almost like it was a vampires house or something.
As she stepped out she saw a white haired figure sitting in the corner with scruffy yet vicious dogs. Just as Colette had finally figured out in her head who it was..Draco and his friends appeared one by one behind her coming out of the fireplace.
Draco digged his wand sharply into her back and hissed: "Move now."
Colette looked over her shoulder for a moment. "Okay!! no need for digging your stupid wand into my back.. It's not like I'm going anywhere.."
Draco growled. "Just do it.. In fact whilst we are here.. You might as well give me your wand.
Colette sighs and hands it over with no hesitation over her back. "Draco.. I have no reason to be going anywhere besides I really want to see where this goes.."
A voice from the corner of the room finally broke his silence. "Are you sure you don't have anywhere else you'd rather be?"
Colette shook her head and folded her arms. "You have me curious, just why have I been summoned?"
He muttered in reply. "As if you didn't know already.."
Colette frowned. "But I don't.. I genuinely don't."
He grins at her cockily. "Did you know curiosity killed the cat?.."
Colette frowned. "What cat.. If that's a real cat, I feel sorry for that poor soul."
He shook his head. "Never mind follow me."
Colette realised as she followed him down the steps..That what Mr Malfoy had just said was his lame pathetic idea of a joke.
Mr.Malfoy led her into a dark room with a long table. She looks along the long table and releases that sitting along that table were death eaters including Snape.
She scans along the table for anyone else she knew and her eyes rested on Voldemort.
She splutters at him. "You.." The word rolled off her tongue with hatred and distaste.
She had heard that his form had changed.. Thanks to drinking unicorn blood and sharing another's body and of course she knew about the horcruxes.
But seeing him like this up close made her shiver.. Knowing that she had dated him all those years ago. But this wasn't the Tom Riddle she knew.. Or at least thought she knew.
He smiled at her as if nothing had happened between them and as if all those years of him killing innocents didn't matter. But it did matter.. It mattered to her. "Ah Colette so good to see you again."
Colette sighs. "What do you want Voldermort?.. "
He grinned happily. "I see you like the new name then?."
Colette shrugged. "There's no point in calling you Riddle.. That man has gone and this is the path you have chosen.."
He nodded agreeably. "As you have chosen yours.. Really Colette.. I thought you and I were on the same kind of level.. I would've thought you had more taste when it comes to determining who your friends are."
He added.."And moving To Gryffindor no less.. Seriously if that doesn't smack traitor I don't know what does."
She frowned. "Why do you care what I do anyway?.. What I do is none of your business and I could say the same about you and your friends.."
He smiles evilly."I don't not really..I couldn't care less what you get up to but you see, recently I had a little visitor."
Colette rolled her eyes. "Oh yeah.. Any excuse to spy on me.."
Mr. Malfoy stepped forward. "If I might explain my lord?."
Voldermort nodded. "Proceed.."
Mr. Malfoy smiled at Colette. "What the dark lord is saying is true.. You see it was a friend of yours.."
Colette frowned thinking to herself. "Who would betray me in this way by going to the person I hate the most?.."
Then it came to her..
Cole.
Mr Malfoy grinned. "Know who it is yet?.. "
Colette stared at Mr Malfoy refusing to even answer that question. She was silently praying it wasn't true.. Praying that she wasn't in another mess as per usual.
Mr Malfoy walks into her field of vision as Colette was trying desperately to ignore him. "It was of course Mr.Cole Turner."
She felt as if her whole world has come crashing down. She whispered to herself. "No...No."
Colette shakes her head and tries to look confident again as if it didn't bother her. "Okay.. You have my attention.. What did he want?."
Before Malfoy could even answer the question.. Voldermort himself answered it. "As you know.. He's been trying to get you to join the dark side for months.."
Colette stared at him open mouthed. "You know?."
Voldermort nodded. "He told me everything.."
Colette thought to herself sarcastically. "Great your ex and your supposedly future love talking?.. Ergh that's never a good idea and it doesn't sound like this is gonna end well.."
Colette nodded. "Okay but I still don't get why I'm here?.."
Voldermort grinned. "Haven't you worked it out yet?.. I also want you to join the dark side but.. I want you to join my dark side.. "
She looked around at the other Demons. "Wait you mean become a death eater?."
Voldermort nodded. "More or less yes but instead you'll be by my side rather than one of them."
She smiled nervously. "It's a nice offer but apparently I'm supposed to be with Cole as the queen of the underworld and all."
Voldermort walked stood up. "That may be your destiny in the future but I'm offering you this now.."
Colette shrugged. "Why?.. Why should I after everything you've done?... You hurt me all those years ago.. How.. How would it even work anyway?."
Voldermort looked at the other death eaters. "Leave us.. All of you except Lucius of course."
All the Death eaters disappeared into a poof of smoke.. All except Draco and his mother and Snape of course who left the room by foot.
Voldermort sighs . "This is an amazing opportunity.. You'll not get another one like this.."
Colette snorts. "Oh please you've been trying to recruit me for ages and what did I say last time?.. I remember I said no.."
Voldermort sighs. "It's different now.. I'm the most powerful sorcerer in the world and with you by my side we could do anything and be anything we want to."
Colette's head felt messed up. "Why does he want me on his side so badly.. Unless I could tip the scales to kill Harry or perhaps he still loves me?.. Or maybe the obvious choice: He's jealous and he wants me away from Harry."
Mr.Malfoy stepped in between them and kneeled at Voldemort''s feet.
"If you don't mind my lord.. I'd like to try talking to her?.."
Colette yelled. "Hello?.. She's still in the room.. Stop talking about me as if I'm not there.."
As Mr Malfoy stood up and turned around. Colette sighed and said. "My Answer is still the same.. Besides you've got about as much chance as I have of sleeping with Lex Luthor and flying around with superman."
Mr Malfoy tutted. "Lex Luthor and Superman are from a filthy muggles comic book.. Why anyone would read that rubbish is beyond me.. They are fortunately for you.. Not real.. The dark lord however is.."
Colette rolled her eyes. "I can see that.. He's right in front of me."
Mr Malfoy smiled nervously wanting to please the dark lord. "In the meantime you will of course live with us.. Like you did with the potters."
Colette's jaw fell open staring at both Voldermort and Malfoy. "You cannot be serious?.. That was a tottally different situation and you know it."
Voldermort shrugged. "Perhaps so.. But this is the cards you are being dealt and a pretty good offer so I suggest you take it.."
She stood up tall and strong but of course wand less. She knew that he wouldn't kill her.. He couldn't.. Otherwise he would have killed her all those years ago.
"I'm going to say this clearly so you idiots can understand. "N.....O means No.. Understand now?!."
Voldermort nodded. "We understand clearly but perhaps we didn't put ourselves clear.. You don't exactly have a choice.."
He raised his wand at her and Lucius stands aside.
Colette opens her mouth about to speak but nothing came out.
She wonders whether she was wrong about him not killing her and wonders if this is the end of her journey..
She Listens carefully expecting him to say Avada Kedava.. But instead all she hears is him saying:
"Petrificus Totalus!"
She feels her body quickly seize up and she falls down to the ground with a thud.
