Voldemort drank deeply from his newly refilled goblet before continuing. He spoke without looking up. "I don't think that I need to say how disappointed I am in hearing that. He was one of my best. Hopefully one of the children will grow to fill the hole that is left within the ranks with his absence."

Vincent snapped his fingers, and handed a house elf his goblet.
"Refill."
He looked back to the Dark Lord. "I agree. Especially considering his age, he was very efficient." He sighed before continuing.
"We can only hope that the children make fine Death Eaters. I am sure my son will have no problem..I will began intense training with him soon."

Voldemort looked up at Vincent quickly. "Well I certainly hope you will. I will be working with the kids as well. I would hate for Dumbledore to have a completely equipped new set of Aurors & I have no new recruits of my own." He turned his head to one of the house elves & regarded the creature apathetically. "Bring me a pumpkin pasty," he said coldly after a seemingly impossible amount of time.

Vincent listened to the Dark Lord, while nodding his head in assent.
"Agreed completely My Lord. The only reason that I have not started sooner with my son was due to the fact that he was not ready to train properly. However, now I feel that he has risen above the obstacles enough to begin."

Voldemort began to pick at the pasty brought to him by the timid house elf as Vincent spoke. "Yes, well I agree. It's high time these children learned some real magic."
His head turned quickly as he heard the sound of someone coming through the floo. Instantly Pettigrew had risen & stood in front of the Dark Lord as though he were still in a form that needed protection from the likes of him. Voldemort silently thrust him to the side so he could see the floo clearly, wand at hand.

Draco stepped out of the fireplace, and waited for the other two to arrive. Once they had, he straigtened his clothes. He glanced at the man with surprise..he seemed to suddenly look somewhat nervous.
"You should wait here while I inform him that you would like to see him." Without another word, Draco entered the next room to see the Dark Lord on high alert. "I am sorry to disturb you My Lord, but I have found one of your followers that wishes to get re-aquainted."
Noticing the disbelief on Voldemort's face, he quickly added. "I saw proof My Lord, so I know the man does not lie. I would not have brought him here before you if I were not certain that he was indeed a Death Eater."
Draco stood solemnly and waited for him to speak.

Voldemort relaxed when he saw that it was only Draco who had come through the floo. He was just about to say something to Peter when Draco made his announcement. He eyed him warily. "A Death Eater? You say that you saw the Dark Mark? Who is it?"

Draco shifted his feet in his nervousness.
"I am not sure my Lord. The man did not tell me his name. If I may be so bold, however, he looks younger than my father and most of the other Death Eaters that I know of."
He glanced nervously back towards the floo, hoping that the man would stay put for the time being.

Voldemort looked between Draco & Vincent Sr while shifting warily. "A younger man you say, hmm? Well bring him in then."

Barty Crouch Jr
Barty had just come through the floo when he heard the voice of the Dark Lord telling someone who could only be the blonde-headed kid to come & get him. Not waiting for the kid, he slowly entered the doorway & looked around. He saw Peter Pettigrew there, of course, along with the blonde-headed kid & Vincent Crabbe. Vincent looked quite similar to how he had been when Barty had last seen him. Tall, average-sized & with dark hair. He tongue flicked from between his teeth a couple of times & then he finally spotted his master behind the blonde kid.
He immediately went over & dropped to his knees in front of the Dark Lord. "My Lord...I can't tell you how good it feels to be with you once more." He looked up & saw the confusion on Voldemort's face. Feeling somewhat awkward, he glanced over to Vincent & noted the disbelief in the mans face. He smirked slightly. "Oh I see...That's right, I'm supposed to be dead. Well, obviously I haven't died. Though I have been as good as dead for the past 13 years." He turned his attention back to the Dark Lord. "I can explain everything now or we can speak privately later on."

Draco nodded and was just about to go get the man, when the man himself walked in and dropped to his knees before the Dark Lord. Draco listened with confusion when the man said that he was supposed to be dead?? Who could this be? He was hoping that he wasn't dismissed before he could hear the whole story.

Vincent Sr.Vincent had been listening to Draco ramble to the Dark Lord about how he locaed a Death Eater. He stood silently, swishing the wine in his glass. However, just then a tall, run-down looking man entered the room and dropped to his knees before Voldemort. He almost dropped his glass in shock. Barty Crouch Jr. It couldn't be..he was dead. He had died in Azkaban. Too much in shock to speak, he waited for the Dark Lord to say something.

Lord Voldemort
Voldemort looked up at Vincent Sr suspiciously as he saw that it was Barty Crouch Jr that came & presented himself to him. "I thought that you said he was dead Vincent? You wouldn't be wanting to keep me away from one of my best followers now would you?"
Peter squirmed nervously in his seat. He knew well the tone of voice that his master was using & it always made him uncomfortable. It meant that the Dark Lord himself was uncomfortable about something & was not very happy about it. he looked over at Barty & eyed him curiously. It surely was Barty Jr, but how could he have gotten passed the guards of Azkaban?

Barty Crouch Jr
Barty Jr watched the two as the Dark Lord questioned Vincent, clearly set on alert by his appearance. While it did please him to see one of Lucius Malfoy's cronies being made to squirm, he didn't want Lord Voldemort to remain in such a state for very long.
"My Lord...If he told you that I was dead it is because to the world I was. You see, my dear sweet mother simply couldn't bear the thought of her son spending the rest of his life locked in a prison. Since she was dying she asked my father to grant her this one last wish. So they came to see me & she & I both drank Polyjuice Potions of each other. I left under the guise of my mother & she died for me in my cell at Azkaban. Unfortunately my father decided that I still needed to be kept in a prison, so for the past 13 years he has kept me underneath an Invisibilty Cloak & under the effects of the Imperious Curse. The only being allowed to acknowledge me was my house elf Winky. It was she that finally won my freedom for me." He stopped to judge whether or not the Dark Lords' mood was beginning to shift upon hearing his explanation.
Thankfully his attention was now turned completely to Barty himself & he did appear more at ease. "So you see My Lord, Vincent thought that he was telling you the truth about my death. And in a way he was. For the past 13 years I have been in the world, but not truly a part of it...that's as close to death as I care to be without actually dying."

Vincent Sr.
Vincent began to visibly shake under the disapproving stare of the Dark Lord. He wanted to say that he actually didn't know about Barty being alive, but all he could manage was "..ah, I..I" Luckily, Barty Jr. himself spoke up quickly and told the story of how he escaped Azkaban. Vincent could not help it..he was impressed.
"So, Barty. You say your father kept you under an invisibility cloak by means of the Imperius Curse?" He glanced to the Dark Lord incrediously. "Thant makes him a Ministry-approved Death Eater. What a hypocrite!!" He felt the anger within himself. Barty Crouch Sr. was one of the few men that could make a Death Eater tremble years ago. And to hear that he was using the Imperius Curse on his own son??? Vincent and Barty Jr. were never close buddies, but he hated to think of how he had been treated for the past 13 years.
