chapter one hundred

—ARES TOOK MATTERS INTO HIS OWN HANDS THAT NIGHT. He walked into the Room of Requirements with Nagini slithering behind him. It was almost too easy, sneaking out of the common room without getting caught this late at night.

"Harmonia Nectere Passus," muttered Ares as he pointed his wand to the vanishing cabnet infront of him. He heard a click, making him smirk in victory and make space as he stepped back. "One... Two..."

The cabnet door opened and the first thing Ares heard was Bellatrix's crazy cackle. It was music to his ears. Bellatrix rushed over to her son and hugged him tight. "You did it, my little war god!" She cooed in delight. She motioned for Rabastan, Rodolphus, and Barty to follow her as they stepped away and tried to leave.

"Mother," said Ares clearly, noticing the way Bellatrix's eyes softened at the word. "Take care of yourself. Do not let Sirius Lupin get to you."

She snarled at the name she despised, but nodded regardless. "To the Astronomy tower?" She asked her son, who had his arms behind his back.

"To the Astronomy tower." Ares confirmed, watching as delight passed through their eyes. "Raise hell."

"To the dark lord," said Barty Crouch Jr. with a crazy grin.

"To the dark lord!" Replied the other three in unison.

Ares stepped infront of them and led the way. He opened the door the door leading out of the Room of Requirement and walked the way to the Astronomy tower, the four deadliest death eaters right behind him. Enjoying the shrieks and screams from the students that saw them, Ares continued to walk up the stairs.

He only stopped for a second when he made eye contact with a pale Harry Potter up the way, who looked at him in disbelief.

Only one second.

Ares turned away and realized he had a choice. He could stop this, or he could start this.

But if he stopped it, nobody would believe he did. They would always think he'd start it one day.

So, Ares chose to start it.

And he continued to walk up the stairs, not stopping his mother, who started duelling random students and injuring all of them. He enjoyed the fearful looks passing through the faces of the students and professors he was passing by. Professors, who rushed to probably find Dumbledore.

Soon enough, they were at the Astronomy tower, where Dumbledore was already waiting for them.

Ares did not realize a certain boy he had once loved right underneath them, watching the scene play out.

Harry Potter had been apparated to the tower by Dumbledore, who knew the whole time what was going to happen. Apparating Harry Potter with no explanation other than, "Stay quiet and don't interfere.", right after the young boy saw Ares and the deatheaters, Dumbledore knew he could use it to remind Harry who he was dealing with.

The son of Voldemort.

Ares did not know the boy was under them wearing an invisibility cloak. He didn't know the boy was there before him, even though he had passed him a minute ago. He wouldn't care even if he knew.

Dumbledore turned around, making eye contact with Ares Riddle. "It took you long enough, my boy." He said calmly, eyes flashing in surprise when he noticed the death eaters by his side. "How?"

"Vanishing cabinet in the Room of Requirements. I mended it." Ares replied coldly, raising his chin and taking out his wand from his holster.

Nagini was hissing menacingly at the old man, who paled at the sight of the Dark lord's snake.
