Dark Times…

[POV Reo]

"Thanks for joining me this auspicious night" I said in a dramatic manner and extended my arms. The house behind me finally collapsed... wow I didn't expect that to happen but it must have been badass. I cheered internally and almost did a jig externally but stopped myself after all I have an image to maintain.

I looked at the four horrified faces and I knew that I had the effect I wanted. Yes... paint me as a new Dark Lord, this is all I wanted now.

"How could you?!" Dumbles gave me a horrified and disappointed grandfatherly look and shouted.

"Well... I pointed my wand and cast Feindfyre. If you want I can teach you too" I said being sarcastic and pulled out my wand and cast an Anti-Apparition and Anti-Portkey ward. After all, I don't want them running away now.

The four of them were dumbfounded but I could see rage surfacing on all four of their faces. They must think that I also killed Harry, they must have missed the scene of Sirius Apparate out with Harry.

They didn't wait and all four of them fire a stunning spell towards me, lightning armor formed around my body and tanked all their attacks.

"Really? That was pathetic... I expected much more from you Dumbles, can't you see... all of your plans falling apart. You should be completely enraged" I said in a mocking manner to Dumbles, Dumbles didn't show any reaction on his face but a passive probe of Leglimency told me otherwise.

"How could you murder two kids? Hah!" Minerva shouted and sent some creatures she made using Transfiguration. Two iron lances formed beside me from my iron sand and impaled the creatures one by one.

"Umm... sorry. I am a murderer but I am not a child killer. You are the one who brought the child killer" I said and pointed towards Dumbledore. All the spells flying at me stopped and Minerva, Filius, and Snape turned their heads towards Dumbledore.

"If you didn't kill Harry then what did you do to him?" Dumbledore asked me, his face was completely cold now.

"Oh... I allowed Sirius to take him after all Sirius was his magic sworn Godfather" I said and put my wand back in my armor.

"Sirius Black is the one who betrayed Harry's parents!!" Filius squeaked out and looked at me with disgust.

"Really? Are all of you magical people so stupid? I just said that Sirius was Harry's magic sworn Godfather so if Sirius would have betrayed Harry then magic would have killed him" I said and even I couldn't see my own face now, I could clearly say that I was having a deadpan.

"Lies! Sirius was the secret keeper of Potters!" Minerva exclaimed and I could see that she had unshed tears in her eyes. Only Severus Snape didn't speak anything and he was slowly moving towards my left side trying to get on my blind side... smart but it still wasn't enough. So, I decided to play this game.

"Why don't you ask Dumbles... he was there when Potters made Pettigrew their secret keeper" I said and this time Dumbledore's cold visage cracked but I knew it was all an act. Hearing me Minerva and Filius immediately turned their heads towards Dumbledore. This time even Snape looked towards Dumbledore stopping his advancement towards my blind side or so they thought.

"Yes... it's true that Peter Pettigrew was the secret keeper but Sirius was also a criminal and killed Pettigrew along with twelve muggles" Dumbledore said in a manner that would have obviously gained someone's sympathy.

"Oh... is that right. So, you mean to say that you have no hand in Pettigrew framing Sirius?" I asked Dumbles. To my surprise, Dumbles didn't react but in his place Minerva did.

"How can you say something like that about such a great man?" Minerva said looking at me. Snape continued to make his way towards my left side. But this time Filius also started to move slowly towards my right side.

"Well... believe whatever you want, honestly I don't care. Why don't we continue the game we have been playing before?" I said and before they could do anything I appeared in front of Minerva, I wanted to knock her out but she somehow unnaturally dodged my attack. Wow... her cat instincts must have helped her to dodge.

"Wow... you are quite nimble for a human so I guess you being a tabby cat helped. I wonder if you like catnip or not..." I started to mock Minerva who was huffing due to the unnatural dodge. She must have hurt her old body by doing that. I was about to continue more but two spells from different sides were fired towards me.

A wall of iron sand rose up and defended me from the attacks. Nice... very nice, I again rushed towards Minerva with my lightning armor, and this time she wasn't able to dodge and was knocked out cold by my lightning.

I was thinking why wasn't Dumbles making a move... is he trying to break through the Anti-Apparition and Anti-Portkey wards? If he is, then he can keep dreaming. My next target was the quarter goblin, several lightning bolts shot towards the little guy from my hand and hit him right on his chest knocking him out too.

"Snape... Snape... Snape... you have been a naughty boy. I have received so many complaints about you but sadly your time hasn't come" I said and used my powers to manipulate his blood. Snape bellowed out a blood curdling scream and dropped on the ground like a sack of potatoes.

"Now, that nuisances are gone let's start with you" I said and turned my head towards Dumbles who was looking at me contemplating something.

"Why are you doing this? Why are you trying to push this world into destruction?" Dumbledore finally decided to give up his ruse but his grandfatherly tone came back along with the damn twinkle in his eyes. I felt a probe brush on my shields.

Damn... he is a strong Leglimencer, even without direct contact with my eyes... he was able to use Leglimency. But even if he can use Leglimency on me I am sure that he won't be able to destroy my mental defenses.

"Well... because I like it this way... this is soo much fun. Just a prophecy, now that the major players will be growing up on their own and all. No chess masters like you could influence a naive young boy to be a Martyr" I said in a mocking voice. If Dumbledore wasn't surprised until now, he was shocked to his core now.

"How do you know about the prophecy?" he asked me in a horrified tone. Good... he is reacting just like I have wanted him and didn't notice the iron sand surrounding him. This wasn't in my plans but when I saw the Death Stick, I decided to take it. If he loses both the Death Stick and Harry on the same day, then he will go spare.

Now, if I want to get the Death Stick I needed to disarm him to win Death Stick's loyalty or it won't work for me. So, I made this plan. No matter how strong I am if I decide to fight Dumbles magically then I would surely lose... no argument there but if use methods like this who cares.

"Well... a little birdie told me" as soon as I finished saying that my iron sand wrapped around his wand hand and ankles to stop him from moving. Dumbles was surprised but he was quick to react and tried to grab Death Stick with his other hand but it was too wrapped around by iron sand. Seeming him like this... I pulled out my wand and pointed towards Dumbles.

"Expelliarmus" I cast and in an instant his wand flew out of his hand and I caught it with my free arm. The Death Stick really lives up to its name... when I grabbed the wand, I immediately felt complete... it didn't give me the feeling like the wand I have been using gave me. It was like a missing part of me was found...

But what happened next surprised me even more, the Death Stick vanished but I didn't feel that it vanished just like that. It was like it became a part of my body... I was shocked, I wasn't a Peverell so it shouldn't have happened and I also didn't gather the three Hollows together so I had no idea why this happened, I put my other wand back in my armor and tried to cast magic and just like I have thought I could cast magic Wandlessly. The Death Stick became a part of me.

Suddenly the world turned black and I was back in a familiar black space where I received the messages from God.

[Don't need to be scared... I used my powers so that you could absorb that Death Stick, I didn't tell you that when you were in this place before. I wanted the Elder Wand to leave this world with you. This single wand has caused so much death that you can't even imagine and it also acts as a power boost for you]

I heard the same voice but before I could say anything I was back in the real world. Wow... even though it kind of sounded a flag to me I would happily accept this gift even if gives me a slight boost.

I looked over to Dumbles and he was completely shocked his eyes were and wide and his jaw was hanging. I didn't want this information to get out. I pointed my hand towards Dumbles and Obliviated him. Now, he would only remember that I became Death Stick's master and nothing more.

After erasing his memories I punched him hard on his nose and knocked him out. I grabbed Dumbles by his beard and hair and the iron sand got back inside my armor. I started to drag Dumbles by his hair and beard, due to the pain Dumbles woke up and started to scream.

I Apparated along with him to Diagon Alley. This seemed to surprise everyone around there and when they noticed who I was dragging they back away completely horrified and scared of me.

I used my powers and ripped out metal beams from the nearest building and wrapped Dumbles on it making iron ropes from my sand.

It was right in the middle of Diagon Alley. I quickly rose up a platform and hanged Dumbles by his hands on the platform. I was in a hurry because I didn't want to be interrupted by the Aurors.

Finally, I wrote my name using metal beams I had pulled out and positioned them above Dumbles head.

"A new Dark Era has arrived!" I shouted and Apparated away. It felt awesome to act like a villain... haha... kudos to my dark side...
