Bloodlines and Loyalties

Dumbledore entered the pensive, he could not help but wonder what his potions master and spy had seen. Severus looked quite shaken, something which worried Dumbledore as the man was usually only ever shaken if he was hit by a cruciatus curse. Dumbledore also found himself unable to forget Severus saying that Voldemort had a heir. That...that just sounded wrong. There was no way that Tom would want an heir, he wanted to live forever, that's what his horcruxes were for after all.

Voldemort was not someone who would want to share power either, and if Voldemort had an heir then Dumbledore was sure he would have heard long before now and even worked out who he was. Dumbledore didn't know what was happening but silenced his thoughts so he could focus on the memory. He watched the meeting, he saw how Voldemort took an amused interest in Harry's escape from the order and attacking the order headquarters, then Dumbledore watched as Voldemort's heir entered.

The heir walked, proud and strong, as if he had nothing to fear in the room. He didn't bow to Voldemort and Dumbledore was surprised that Voldemort allowed that, his shock also grew when he saw the heir speak parsletounge. His thoughts immediately went to Harry, the only other parsletounge he knew. Dumbledore could not understand what he and Voldemort were saying, he realised that he would probably have to ask Harry to translate as he needed to know what was being said and didn't have any other available person who could speak parsletounge.

Dumbledore's eyes widened when he heard that Voldemort had made the heir using Harry's blood along with his own, that was likely why the heir was able to get past the blood wards, he had Harry's blood. Dumbledore felt slightly happy in knowing that he was at least right about the blood wards, even though it was a moot point now, then Draco Malfoy spoke. This saddened Dumbledore but he held hope that the boy could be brought to the light.

Dumbledore had two thoughts when the heir kicked Draco, the first was that this might be one of the many acts that would help show Draco why joining the dark side was not all fun and games as his parents might have taught him, Dumbledore's second thought was a mental note about how violent the heir was, it seemed to be an attitude that would suit him well amongst death eaters. Then Voldemort's heir spoke for the first time.

The heir apparently did not like the fact that Snape was half-blood, again something that would suit him well amongst the death eaters, though this now worried Dumbledore as it meant that now things would be more difficult for Severus as he had likely lost some respect amongst death eaters. Fortunately Voldemort still saw the value in keeping Severus around. Dumbledore felt sorry for Snape when he was put under the cruciatus curse but Dumbledore did not think about it too long as he was now focused on watching the heir in action.

The three death eaters stood opposite the heir, their body language betrayed their nervousness while the heir stood as calm as can be. He stared at the death eaters as if he was staring through their souls, he twirled his wand in his hand, his body language showed he did not consider them to be threats.

"The winner will either be my heir or whichever one of you manages to kill him and remove his hood." Voldemort said, leaning back in his chair as if he was going to watch the Sunday news.

The heir stood perfectly still, his wand in his right hand, waiting for the death eaters to make the first move.

The death eater on the left started first and threw a cutting curse, the heir casually leaned out of the way and the curse flew past his head. The heir blocked a bone breaker from the middle death eater and a piercing curse from the right death eater at the same time. The three death eaters went on the offensive, but the heir did not show any signs of being bothered by this. The heir would alternate between avoiding and blocking their spells or occasionally deflecting them back which forced them to block.

After several moments of showing his defensive powers the heir went on the offensive, he dodged one organ liquifying curse and sent a cutting curse at the death eaters. The death eaters were worried but relaxed when they saw the cutting curse go wide and miss them, however what they did not see was it circling back around and charging towards them. The cutting curse hit the right death eater in the back, causing him to scream in pain and stumble forward right into the heir's piercing curse which hit him in the chest, the heir followed up with another piercing curse to the chest and the death eater fell to the floor, lifeless.

The other two death eaters felt their heart rates skyrocket and quickly went on the offensive so the heir could not throw another spell, the heir returned to defending, the left death eater shot a bone breaker at the heir's face after the one in the middle shot a shield breaker. He along with everyone else in the room was shocked when the heir simply raised his left hand and allowed the spell to hit him in his palm, he showed no reaction nor did he act like anyone who had just had their bones broken.

The heir saw that the middle death eater had recovered from his shock first and was about to blast him, the heir let a bright light shine from his wand, blinding his opponents. The middle death eater suddenly found his arms crossed against his chest and his entire upper body wrapped in razor wire, he was not given long to get used to his pain as the heir followed up with a spell that caused him to hang upside down by his ankles which resulted in the death eater being taken by surprise and dropping his wand as he hanged upside down in the air.

The other death eater quickly attacked and sent a trio of spells at the heir before he yelled out a killing curse. The heir blocked all three spells just as the green light of the killing curse connected with his head, causing him to fall back.

"I did it!" The death eater cheered. "I did it my lord!" He cried with joy before he walked over to the body, laughing all the way there, he kneeled down, ready to remove the hood and take his place as the Dark Lord's heir.

Everyone who watched felt incredibly disappointed, seeing Voldemort's heir go down by a simple killing curse. The death eater's hand reached for the hood when something entirely unexpected happened, the heir suddenly sat up. Shocking everyone beyond words, including the death eater who was about to reach for his hood. The heir sat still, looking forward, not at the death eater who was by his side and frozen in fear and disbelief.

"T...that...that's not possible!" The death eater eventually spoke, echoing the thought currently shared by everyone. The death eater fired another killing curse which was about as successful as the last one. The heir's head snapped towards him as if he had just noticed him, his left hand grabbed the death eater by the neck. The death eater gasped as the heir stood up while maintain a grip around his neck. "Crucio!" The death eater shouted, hitting the heir with a torture curse to the chest. Everyone was once again amazed and terrified beyond words when the heir looked as if he didn't even feel anything.

The heir tossed the death eater down on to the ground before hitting him with the cruciatus curse, the death eater screamed out in pain. The death eaters all were still as they listened to his screams echo across the room and in their ears until eventually the curse was stopped.

"P...Please...s...stop!" The death eater cried. The heir was not feeling particularly merciful as he did not hesitate to raise his wand and bring it down to throw a cutting curse at the man's throat. The heir then turned to the remaining death eater and before he could say a word the heir had flicked his wand and sent a cutting curse at the man's throat, ending him in the same way as the previous one.

"Done." Was all the heir said as he turned to Voldemort.

"I can see that." Voldemort said dryly before turning to his wide eyed death eaters. "You all have bared witness to the power of my heir, together we shall rule over the wizarding world. Me and my heir, Apophis, will end Dumbledore and Potter. A new world is coming, our world is coming." Voldemort finished with a smirk on his face as his red eyes glanced to Apophis.
