Chapter 2 guys! If you didn't know I have re-written chapter 1; the whole thing is different so I recommend you read it! Anyways I hope you guys like this chapter; again it won't be in first person but third person so I hope you enjoy.

Disclaimer: I don not own Harry Potter or the Phantom of the opera so don't sue me. Oh yeah and there is some disturbing content in a part of this chapter so….readers discretion is advised [shrugs. Oh and again there are some other parts in the story that don't belong to me but I'm not going to tell you what 'cause it will ruin the chapter…I think.

So here it is!

Chapter 2: Information

His robes billowed behind him as he stalked through the halls of his hideout home; he was heading to the library to do a bit of studying. It had been a while that he had been in that old dusty library or any library of the kind but today was the day he would be doing research in many years. As he reached the doors to his destination he pushed them open with a loud creak before continuing his way into the ancient library.

He walked past rows and rows of book columns until he stopped at one near the very end; he headed down the isle of books looking to his left before stopping abruptly and grabbed a book connected to the book shelf with a chain. He opened the book in the very middle before a face appeared trying to force itself out of the book and started to scream loudly; he waited for a few seconds before snapping the book shut with an amused smirk on his face. That had always amused him when he was at Hogwarts in his younger years; he used to sneak into the Restricted Section in the dead of night, cast a muffle spell around him and opened the book to hear the scream. He had asked Wormtail to take it from the library for him in Potter's third year.

He put the book away, the smirk leaving his face into a frown before continuing his way down the aisle; he wished that he could go back to the way he was. Physically wise, he didn't want to look like a creep anymore; he wanted to look normal….for Grangers' sake. That's why he was looking for the book that had the curse to change him; not only his appearance but everything else too.

Even if he was falling for that muggleborn he would not stop murdering people. Like drugs or alcohol, it was his addiction; it was his life, the only thing keeping him entertained but Granger…

'She doesn't have to know about it' he thought still searching for the book 'But maybe she could help me, change me… no! I won't allow it! After all I was born a murderer, and no one can change that'

He stopped once more and turned towards he book shelf; he reached up a hand a grabbed onto a very thick book. He carefully slid it out between two other books and looked at the cover; it was covered in grime and dust. He took the end of his sleeve from his robe and softly rubbed the grime and dust of the cover to see faded, black leather and silver scriptures made from ink. Secrets of the Darkest of Arts the book was called; carefully opening the book and started to skim through heading back out of the library.

He was so busy skimming through the ancient book that he was walking out of the library and into the hall blindly; walking at a slow pace he subconsciously walked into the meeting room. He stopped when he found what he was looking for; chapter 26, Abeo Mihi Ritual. The process of changing a person's entire body; he looked up from the book with a small look of surprise of his face realizing he was in the meeting room.

The room was fairly large, it was round, it had a long table in the middle of the room with enough chairs for about 30 people and had numerous paintings of random things with a fire going in the fireplace behind his head chair at the end of the long table. He walked up to his chair at sat down feeling the warmth of the fire warm the back of his freezing body; looking back down at the book he began to read.

Chapter 26: The Huntington Ritual, Abeo Mihi Ritual: The History

The Abeo Mihi Ritual or other wise more known as the Huntington Ritual was named after Deleon Huntington who was the creator of this dark ritual. Deleon created it so that he and other witches and warlocks, who have the misdeeds of looking 'hideous' or 'ugly' or otherwise just wanting a start at a new lifepine to do. The ritual however isn't Saint-like for everyone; most of the rituals done in the past have caused devastation to the witches and warlocks who have done this ritual, pain.

The process of the ritual doesn't have the feeling of fluff or tickles but rather immense pain that some witches and warlocks have been scarred deeply' by this evil ritual; the scars have either left a mental damage to the brain or have left a physical scar to the body. However some rituals were successful and the witches/warlocks had changed completely; the appearance had changed, their voice, even their personality! Although the change for the personality has some side affects; the success in changing you personality can cause a muggle mental disorder, multiple personality disorder or MPD for short.

Many successful witches and warlocks have had this disorder, partly caused by the pain from the ritual but mostly it is caused by the personality that the witch/warlock had had before the ritual. For example, in the 18th century, John "Johnny" Myers (1), the hit wizard, had had this ritual to help stop himself from murdering people. However the process of the ritual gained him not just a new life but a serial killing alter ego.

John Myers, alter ego to Martin Sawyer, was more vicious and cold-hearted than ever; his murders were not done by magic but by the muggle way. John had many ways of killing people that are so well known other murderers copied his methods but John had two favourites; one so gruesome that the press or any Auror's never released information about it to anyone but only named it Jigsaw[2 and the other, the other, not so secret murders, had been his favourite and the most copied by other murderers.

Jigsaw was when John would carefully select a victim who didn't appreciate their lives and used his rare gift of Legilimency to invade his victims mind and replace their thoughts with illusions of the victim being tortured, sending them in a coma. According to historians', the victim's bodies had actually felt the pain and the wounds had appeared on the comatose victim[3. It is also rumoured that the thoughts John put in the victims minds were not of him torturing them but of the victims in a specific torturing test[4 but it is uncertain.

The favourite of copycat murderers was the way John had gotten rich and nobody suspected him. Like Jigsaw, John carefully selected his victims and performed surgeries on the, taking out vital organs from the victims bodies and then he would sell them to hospitals for transplants and get a load of money for it. Historian's say that a lucky survivor who got away before the surgery and admitted John to the Aurors, say's that he would speak to her as he was getting ready for the surgery[5.

The funny thing is that Martin didn't even know he had a alter ego of his older self and that he was still committing homicides. Thanks to historians we now get the knowledge that when Martin got angry and upset John Myers would emerge to teach people a lesson.

Soon enough John kept emerging more often without the help Martin. It was February 3rd, 1854 when Martin committed suicide after learning he was the murderer of 376 witches, warlocks, and even muggles.

Thanks John Myers, homicidal records went up the chart that century and is almost unbeatable. Hi condition is the most known out of every witch and warlock who had this disorder.

When he finished reading a small smile appeared on Voldemorts lipless mouth; John was an icon. It was surprising to him that a wizard would kill in the muggle way for money but of course he just assumed that John thought it was for the fun of watching the victims squirm under his hands as he sliced their skin with a blade or to watch a victim scream for help in one of his tasks.

'Unbeatable homicidal record? Please…' thought Voldemort as he chuckled slightly 'I can do better than John'

He looked at the old worn picture on the next page of the fine writing to see John; he looked like to be in his late 30's. The picture was in black and white and John was wearing an emotionless expression. The clothes he was wearing was an elegant traditional all black tuxedo and his hair was a slicked back wavy mess

Just as Voldemort thought the picture was a muggle picture John winked at him before a mischievous smirk appeared on his emotionless face and curt nodded at Voldemort who curt nodded back.

Next to the large picture of John was a picture and an article lined up horizontally; the first was a picture of what was labelled Martin Sawyer; he looked much different than John, more…warmer and approachable. He had a warm smile on his face that made the contents in Voldemort's stomach role with disgust.

Underneath it was an article ending at the bottom of the page; feeling no need to read the article he turned the page.

Chapter 26.2: How the Abeo Mihi Ritual Works

The receiver has to be in a circle of blue flames while two or more summoners surround the blue fire. The receiver then has to chant abeo mihi meus plasmatic meus cruor meus somes meus vultus meus vita iungo mihi ut meus novus vultus huic orbis of incendiary ego vadum exuro quod exsisto prognatus iterum ego licentia meus accersitus in vos debitum clementia mihi iam[6 twice before the summoners yell the curse, abeo iam at the receiver.

Too make the ritual more exciting, an object or a body part may be used of the person who the receiver wants to change into. E.g. John used a piece of hair that belonged to his great-grandfather and changed himself to look exactly like him. It is quite a simple ritual to do but it does put the receiver in the summoners debt and causes much pain to both receiver and summoner.

'Hmm, it does sound simple' thought Voldemort before he heard footsteps, they stopped and the voice of Wormtail filled the room.

"My lord, I've brought you Draco Malfoy" said Wormtail as Voldemort looked up from the book and sneered at Wormtail

"Yes, you may leave Wormtail" said Voldemort as Wormtail bowed and quickly left the room closing the door. Finally Voldemort's snake-like eyes landed on the 17 year old; his hair blond and slick just like his fathers, his skin pale and grey eyes wide with fear. Draco suddenly then knelt down on the floor his head bowed as Voldemort clicked his tongue

"Stand up!" said Voldemort as Draco stood back up his head still low, his eyes unable to meet Voldemorts' "I guess you're wondering why you are here if you haven't done anything, correct?"

Draco nodded vigorously, "Yes my lord" he managed to squeak out

"Well let me do the honours to tell you, you haven't done anything" said Voldemort as Draco let go a soft relieved breath "you are here because I want to talk to you, so please have a seat"

Draco nodded and quickly walked over to a chair two seats away from Voldemort, close yet still far away…just in case.

"Now I know this might sound weird to ask you this Draco but do you any idea about the relationship Harry Potter has with his little female friend?" asked Voldemort as confused look appeared on Draco's face but he tried to answer anyways.

"Well…uh…ahem…..they've been best friends since first year" said Draco as Voldemort gestured for him to keep going "they uh…they always hang around each other, they never fight. Potter is always defending her. It was rumoured in year four that they were dating, and as far as I know, she was the one who convinced him to teach a bunch of other students how to protect themselves"

"The DA?" asked Voldemort as Draco blinked twice

"Yes how did you…never mind" said Draco quickly before remember that Voldemort could read minds. Voldemort was just about to ask another question before yelling from the hall filled the room

"What the bloody hell do you mean he is talking to my son?" yelled the voice of Lucius Malfoy

"Shh, please Mr. Malfoy he can probably hear you?" said the voice of Wormtail before he let out a small gasp

"Oh can he really? Can he here you scream when I turn you into your rat like self and feed you to Nagini?" said Lucius, with a sigh and quick flick of his wrist the doors flew open; against the wall was Wormtail and holding him there was Lucius with his pointed at his chest

"Do you must be so disruptive?" asked Voldemort with a hint of anger in his voice as Lucius rushed in the room with Wormtail behind him, both of them bowed briefly before Lucius opened his mouth to speak but Voldemort held a hand up to stop him

"Don't worry Lucius, your son is not in trouble. I just wanted to ask him some questions" said Voldemort as Lucius nodded

"My apologies my lord" said Lucius as Voldemort nodded

"Before I forget did you get me what I asked for?" asked Voldemort as Lucius nodded before reaching into his robe and took out three items; two books and a ticket.

"The Phantom of the opera book by Gaston Leroux, the book adaptation of the play and a ticket to go see the play" said Lucius handing the items over to Voldemort

"Yes thank you Lucius' said Voldemort reading the back of the novels

"My lord, if you don't mind me asking, why exactly did you ask for those muggle things?" asked Lucius as Voldemort looked up at him

"All in due time Lucius, I will tell you and the rest of the death eaters but for now I must go see this play; it starts this afternoon in London" said Voldemort as Lucius nodded before he grabbed Draco's arm tightly and dragged him out of the room

Waiting for the pair to leave completely Voldemort spoke "Wormtail, I'm going to need you to do something for me" he said as Wormtail nodded

"Yes my lord, what it is that you seek?" asked Wormtail

"Do you know who John Mayer is?" asked Voldemort as Wormtail nodded feverishly

"Yes I do my lord; he is the greatest serial killer of the 18th century!" said Wormtail excitedly

"Yes...Wormtail I need you to get me the Jigsaw Mask" said Voldemort as the excitement on Wormtails face disappeared

"But my lord that is historical artifact hidden in the Ministry" said Wormtail as Voldemort glared at him

"Wormtail...unless you are too afraid to work for me I guess I should just kill you now! No coward can ever be a death eater, no coward will ever lay before my feet as a servant!" snapped Voldemort angrily as Wormtail nodded

"Yes as you wish my lord! I will try-"

"Try?"

"I will get the Jigsaw Mask for you as quick as possible" said Wormtail as Voldemort nodded

"Good, but I recommend you wait for tonight, the day is always hectic with pathetic aurors and ministry officials running" said Voldemort rubbing his temple

"Yes my lord, but with all due respect how are you going to watch this play?" asked Wormtail as Voldemort bookmarked the chapter and slammed the book shut before he rose out of his chair

"I will have to disguise myself, probably the disillusionment charm, yes I shall do the disillusionment charm" he said before taking out his white wand and tapped it on his head. Immediately he felt cold trickles running down from his head to the rest of his body "make sure when I come back that there is some pepper up potion waiting for me, I feel a headache coming on"

"Yes my lord" said Wormtail nodding

"And make sure these books are in my chambers" said Voldemort as Wormtail nodded again, without another word Voldemort disapperated with a loud cracking noise.

Finite! There was chapter 2, I hoped you enjoyed it. It kind of took me forever to do because I didn't know what the hell to write but I did my best.

[1 John is inspired from Jigsaw, in the horror film Saw and Michael Myers, from another horror film, Halloween.

[2 Again inspired by the film Saw

[3 Kind of inspired by the Matrix there

[4 The torture stuff is also inspired by Saw, I didn't want to go into detail so just use your imagination

[5 This idea I got from the film Turistas, I haven't seen it but I've seen a clip of the surgery part which looks so real.

[6 Some Latin words I put together. Means 'change me, my spirit my blood, my body, my shape, my life. Connect me to my new form. In this ring of fire I shall and be born and be born again. I leave myself in your debt. Indulge me now.' It's kind of pathetic but that's all I could think of.

Question for you reviewers, even though I have many ideas for this story I want some more…I know, how greedy of me but I always have ideas for other people stories and for a change I want to hear YOUR ideas. So send them in if you have any and if I like one I'll use it and I'll remember to put it down as your idea!

Anyways review, review, review!
