07:31,198 PM, somewhere on a secret manor…

“My lord!” Severus Snape said desperately as he ran across a room holding a vial.

The reason for that was simple, Lord Voldemort, the greatest wizard to have ever existed according to the man himself was on the floor screaming and convulsing as he fell from his throne. The man with the long hair was confused as he knelt to hold the dark lord who, Snape was struggling to give the dark wizard the potion.

“Petrificus totalus!” Snape knew he was crazy for trying this but the dark lord had no control over his body.

However, Snape’s eyes suddenly widened the moment he did this because the biggest nightmare he had since he was a child became a reality. Those days were a training phase for Severus, back then he lived with his alcoholic muggle father and his useless witch of a mother, he had to find a way to defend himself and that’s how he developed his wandless magic skills, which was the only defense he had to stop the man from hurting him and his mother.

Severus didn’t think too much, he just wished his magic would influence his father to leave him and his mother alone, and surprisingly, it worked, however, Severus was paranoid back then, and he knew that the moment his father realized what he did with his magic, it was game over for him and his mother.

That’s why he had endless nightmares about losing his magic, he was afraid of becoming even weaker than a muggle because of his dependence on magic, and when he told his mother about those nightmares she told him to not worry about those things, she told him that something like that will never happen.

And yet, right now, as he tried to help his lord who was convulsing even more violently than before he realized something, his magic wasn’t obeying him, there was no magic coming from his wand.

No matter how much he tried, no matter how many spells he tried to cast, nothing was happening, he became what he feared the most, he became completely useless without his wand.

“W-what is going on?!” Snape for the first time in decades was completely speechless.

He could only watch in horror as his master continued moving like crazy on the floor. Something happened in the world, something that was going to change everything, Severus knew that and he didn’t know if this change was going to benefit or destroy him and his friends..

“S-Severus!” Snape’s thoughts were interrupted the moment he finally saw the dark lord coming back to reality, he stopped convulsing.

“My lord!” Snape said and quickly ran towards his master to aid him and get him back to his throne.

Soon, Snape took another vial from one pocket and quickly gave it to his master who drank it as if his life depended on it. The potion was special, it was created by Voldemort himself and by himself, it was an elixir that only the dark lord could drink because it had so many poisons that just a small drop could kill anyone, well, anyone except someone who cannot die.

Voldemort has gone beyond the realm of possibilities to acquire immortality and because of that, frivolities like sex and alcohol have zero effect on him, that’s why he has replaced those mundane human things with things like his special elixir.

“Ah…That’s good,” the dark lord said now feeling more stable. “Severus…What happened?!” Asked the wizard who was more like a monster than a man.

“I was on my way to call the inner circle for today’s meeting when I suddenly heard you screaming my lord and sorry for my insolence but I thought something bad happened to you my lord,” Severus knew he had to be careful with his words.

Voldemort glared at him, he didn’t like the implication that the dark lord could be betrayed, he knew his followers were a bunch of coward idiots but not idiots enough to betray him, not even Pettigrew could do something like that and he was the biggest backstabber in the world.

“But that’s not all my lord…Something happened, I could feel it, I tried to help you but my magic wasn’t working, it was like something sucked the magic out of my body or as if someone decided that I shouldn't use magic anymore,” Snape’s words made the dark lord shudder at the thought of losing his magic.

If he loses his magic, then his immortality becomes a curse, and he could be tortured for eternity to make him pay for what he has done.

“But, it’s back to normal my lord,” Snape did a non-verbal lumos and the light was too bright enough to convince the dark lord that his second in command wasn’t a squib.

The dark lord remained in silence for a few moments as he analyzed the situation before he sighed.

“Severus, I hate last time changes but we'll call everyone in thirty minutes from now, I would like to be alone, there’s something I need to think about,” the snake-faced wizard suddenly got on his feet.

“My lord…” Snape said with a bow before he retired from the room.

Once the door was closed and once Voldemort made that no sound would come out of his room he moved from his throne.

“Dumbledore…Was this one of your schemes?” Voldemort asked himself as he stared at a map of the world that was on a table.

On the map there were some places crossed, Voldemort stared at the map for a few seconds before he sighed.

“What am I even thinking about? The old idiot doesn’t know about them, he has no idea why I cannot be killed,” he sighed before he knelt.

Once he did that, he was greeted by Nagini, his loyal pet and the creature he appreciated the most, soon, he took her with his hands and they sat on the throne before he started to speak to the snake in parseltongue.

“Are they fine my dear? Has this event damaged one of my treasures?” Asked the dark lord with a serious tone.

“No master…They’re fine, the twelve of us are fine,” the snake hissed back and the dark lord smirked.

It doesn't matter what the world thinks about him, there’s no way they’ll be able to destroy his twelve horcruxes and as a consequence, there's no way he could die, Dumbledore could kill him as many times as he wishes but he’ll always come back, not that the old man has any opportunity today to do it, he’s old and weaker while he Lord Voldemort has become even more powerful and most of all, immortal, yes, there’s no way someone could destroy his Horcruxes.

“Still, I'll tell Dolohov to reinforce the security of the locations,” the dark wizard said with a serious tone.

He knew he had no rival in this boring world, however, that didn’t mean he was going to become overconfident and not check on his Horcruxes, it’s better to be safe than sorry.

After thinking for some time, the dark lord was smirking again, the world wasn't ready for him and he knew he wasn't ready but in twenty years and with his future army, he knew he was ready to take over the world at that point.

“Well, I guess it’s time to see our friends Nagini, let’s go,” the dark lord hissed and soon, he was walking with confidence while he was followed by the snake.

Meanwhile with the Potters…

“Well, if you guys liked what I did with the ravens, then you’re going to love this even more,” Harry said with a slight smirk at the members of the order.

The group was a bit confused but then, the cameras changed and now, they were seeing the shack but from ten different points of view.

“What happened?” Henry was surprised but interested.

“You see, those small spheres the ravens were carrying are microscopic tracking charms, but not only that, they have cameras and microphones, so, we’re going to be able to see what our dear 'death eater' friends do during their free time,” Harry explained with a wicked grin.

“It’s just birds, let’s get going, the dark lord is calling me,” one of the death eaters said with a serious tone and the rest nodded.

"Yes, good luck master Yaxley," one random death eater said before their leader disappeared.

“Well guys, it seems like we’re going to witness one of Voldy’s inner circle meetings, get your popcorn ready,” Harry joked while the rest of the order gulped.

They didn’t know if they should feel scared or impressed by what they were about to see.
