With the spells in place that bound and silenced him, Harry could only watch as the cauldron began to bubble. When it was deemed ready, Wormtail stepped up and slid a bundle into the boiling water.
He watched as something was said and bones rose from the ground at his feet and was dropped into the cauldron. He next witnessed Peter cutting off his hand and dropping it into the cauldron as he said something else. Harry was watching as all eyes fell on him and Peter came at him with the ritual knife in his hand.
He felt the knife sink into his arm and felt the blood flowing out of him. He screamed into the silencing charm as Peter collected his blood on the knife and stepped back over to the cauldron. Once the blood dropped in, the potion inside flashed red and a cloud of steam was released. Harry watched in horror as the cauldron split in two and a very tall but pale body stepped out.
The next words he heard were "My wand Wormtail."
As soon as he was handed the wand, he waved it and robes formed around him out of the shadows of the graveyard. He stood there for a minute before saying "Lucius my friend, I have need of you."
Lucius ran up and knelt in front of his master. Tom said "Your arm Lucius."
When Lucius raised his arm, Tom pushed up his sleeve and pushed his wand into the wriggling snake and skull tattoo that resided there. Lucius sucked in a breath at the pain but did not dare move in fear of the punishment he would receive if he did.
Harry once again watched as black shadows appeared in the graveyard and coalesced into wizards. Tom looked around and frowned before saying "Welcome back my friends, thirteen years it has been since we were last together. Twelve years that were wasted because no one searched for me while you went back to your lives and hid your connection to me."
Wormtail said "I came for you master. I brought you back to your rightful place."
"Yes you did Wormtail, you have been very helpful to me this last year and as promised, you shall be rewarded." He stepped over and pointed his wand at the stump on the end of Peter's arm and a blob of bronze grew out of it and formed itself into a hand.
Peter knelt and said "Thank you master."
"Yes so Wormtail found me and brought me back. He found others who were still loyal to the cause and brought them together resulting in us being here now. They will be rewarded handsomely for their actions along with my ally in Hogwarts."
"I must now confess my greatest mistake. (He pointed at Harry.) This boy did nothing to banish me except for possessing very special blood which I now have coursing through my veins. No my spell was rebounded on me not by the sacrifice of his mud blood mother but by something so much more powerful."
"Ancient family magic. Even in death, my superior intellect won as my shade realized what was going on and attached a piece of me to the scar on his forehead where I have been absorbing that magic ever since. My most faithful were here to witness me retaking a body and you are here to witness my victory over Harry Potter as I take his life and then absorb his family magic."
Tom stepped over to Harry and as he got closer, he realized the scar was gone. "What have you done? Where is the scar and the magic behind it?"
Harry just looked at him dumbly until Tom realized he was silenced. When he cancelled the spell, Harry said "I absorbed it."
"Impossible! Only a truly momentous sacrifice would overpower the spell."
Harry thought for a second and realized he was probably never going to walk away from this and let his Marauder back out again. "Well, I knew from my research and decided that a sexual sacrifice, like one's virginity, would suffice. I had my victim all picked out but found out from a spell I cast that the person was no longer a virgin. I cast another spell and found out who had taken it out of curiosity and let me tell you Tom, you have some sick bastards for friends."
Tom said "What the hell are you talking about boy?"
"Oh sorry, well I was going to use Draco's virgin arse as the sacrifice but the second spell showed him already having had it taken by his father. I knew you were a sick bastard Lucy but I mean, your own son? If that wasn't enough, it was obvious from the spells that Draco must have enjoyed it as he has been active ever since then."
"You little bastard."
"That's not the case and you know it. I'm merely an orphan since my parents were married unlike Tom's here."
Voldemort screamed "How did you do it boy?"
"Oh, I sacrificed a magical core. It was easy. Now the questions are, when did I do it and have you heard from your children lately?"
Harry saw the Death Eaters shuffle nervously. Voldemort yelled "Wormtail, give him his wand. It is time to put an end to this boy."
As Wormtail slapped the wand into Harry's hand, Tom said "Now bow to your betters."
Harry stood tall and said "I am Harry James Potter, Scion of the Most Ancient and Noble House of Potter. I have no betters and especially not some jumped up wanna be Dork Lord with delusions of adequacy."
"Then I shall kill you and lay claim to your titles."
Harry laughed "Then you'd better be prepared for a real fight as the line forms behind Dumbledore and goes on for quite a while I imagine."
Voldemort screamed in rage then yelled "Avada Kedavra."
Harry shouted back "Incendio."
The results were unexpected as both spells met and locked each of the wizards into a contest of wills. Magic flowed from the connection of the two wands and a glowing magical golden dome appeared and formed over the two enemies. Tom shouted "Don't interfere. He is mine!"
