Fate of the Wand(You know who you are)

[Melkor 'Alfie' Valenceus]

Melkor Alphard Valenceus. Very few people knew his first name. Alfie never let even his tutors as a child refer to him as Melkor. Alfie drew the Elder Wand from his trousers. There was alot of humidity despite being the middle of December today. The usually thick snow had melted. Alfie could feel that something was going to happen on this day. He had no choice but to convince Rowena to take the wand, whether she wanted to or not. Alfie's personal guard had fought with the men hunting Alfie's wand in Hogsmeade. Eventually the dead would be connected to Alfie. Alfie had sent news to the Council that their enemies were still alive and that Alfie was now stranded in this castle, with Salazar breathing down his neck.

Alfie sat up as the door to the Hogwarts staff room opened. He gazed at Rowena intently. He would not take no for an answer this time. Alfie went over to her swiftly and pulled her into the room with an arm around the back of her neck. "Rowena, I was worried you wouldn't come to me." Alfie tried to force a kiss upon Rowena, he grasped her head roughly and pressed his lips against hers.

(Viktor may attack after Rowena leaves. That is all I humbly demand. )

[Rowena Ravenclaw]

Rowena was running down the empty corridor, feeling annoyed with her students. She loved her job and the children she was teaching, but for the first time in her life, there were other more important things for her to worry about. Alfie was waiting for her and she was running late, late for almost twenty minutes. She didn't like to keep Alfie waiting and she could only hope he would understand.

Rowena ran into the room and stopped at the door to regain her breath. Before she even managed to move, Alfie already had his arms around her, pulling her inside. Rowena hugged him and kissed him back, immediately forgetting about her problems. "Don't be silly, you know that I always come to you." she stopped to catch her breath and gently caressed his cheek before she kissed him again. Another woman would probably be frightened by his possessive grasp, but Rowena wasn't like any other woman. "Sorry I'm late." she whispered between kisses.

[Melkor 'Alfie' Valenceus]

Alfie smirked devilishly at Rowena. He was not as happy as he seemed however. He sat on the staff room table and pulled Rowena to him. He was still smiling though he was sure what he was going to say would make Rowena hate him. "I have been thinking, fair lady. Your daughter, seems more or less useless, we should probably do something with her. You understand, like keep her somewhere and slowly poison her mind. I thought about killing her but it seemed too cruel." Alfie tried to keep his smile. Even though he did wish they did these things to Helena, he was not willing to share those thoughts with Rowena at all.

[Rowena Ravenclaw]

Rowena laughed as he pulled her on the table, running her fingers through his dark hair. She kissed him again, enjoying his evil smirk. "What do you have in mind?" she asked, teasingly. When Alfie spoke, Rowena frowned and pushed him away, standing up from the table. She couldn't believe his words. "What are you talking about? You can't be serious." Rowena thought that he would never hurt her daughter, that he would never even be able to think of something so cruel and disgusting. She kept staring at him with a frown, hoping he'd start laughing and tell her that it was only a bad joke.

[Melkor 'Alfie' Valenceus]

Alfie had put the wand down to hold Rowena, though he kept his hand over it. He frowned when she did. He wished he didn't have to do this. He would have to let Helena live now or Rowena would definately suspect him of foul play. He might even have to protect her now. Alfie almost groaned. He gathered himself and returned to his plot however. "You have to understand," Alfie spoke angrily, "I am pure. I cannot be father to some other fool's brats. There is no problem at all. Now come back here please." Alfie reached out for Rowena's arm as he said this. He caught her upper arm and gripped it tightly. He had to get off the table as he lunged at Rowena.

[Rowena Ravenclaw]

Rowena started shaking and her eyes filled with tears. She had no idea what had gotten into him, he'd never said anything about her daughter before. "How can you even say something like that?" she asked and looked at him, disgusted. "You're hurting me, stop it!" Rowena tried to push him away, but his grip was too tight. She pulled her wand out with her free hand, hoping that Alfie would back away. "Let go of me or I'll curse you!" Rowena didn't want to hurt Alfie, but she couldn't let him hurt Helena either.

[Melkor 'Alfie' Valenceus]

Alfie gripped Rowena tighter as she struggled. He was strangely feeling bad about what he was doing but it just fueled his anger making him seem more severe. He had killed and tortured women before without so much as a shred of guilt coming over him. He could feel his eyes growing wet but kept his act up, "Now, now. Don't be foolish, Rowena. Come back into my arms and we'll find a reasonable way to deal with the girl. You know I don't like hurting you." When she promised to curse him, Alfie almost smiled, the sooner he could leave this situation thee better. "C'mon!" Alfie pulled Rowena back to him vigorously. He put his arms around her and consoled, "Don't leave me. I just want you. No one else, darling."

[Rowena Ravenclaw]

Rowena clenched her teeth, trying to shake off his hands. For the first time, Rowena was scared of him and the look he was giving her. "Alfie, please..." she whispered, desperately trying to push him away. "Please, don't make me do this." Rowena didn't want to curse him and she knew that she couldn't do it even if she wanted. "Darling, please, she is my daughter..." Rowena moaned in pain when he tightened his grip and pulled her back to him. Tears started running down her face and she closed her eyes, trying to suppress sobs. "I want you too... I love you... but I also love my daughter, you can't expect me to hurt her."

[Melkor 'Alfie' Valenceus]

Alfie tried to suppress memories of what he had done to Viktor as a child. He wasn't truly that evil was he? Alfie felt dizzy suddenly. No, if he had brought the baby his father would have killed it. Alfie couldn't raise a baby alone. A tear rolled down his face, but he forced back anymore. "I know, dear. I know. It will hurt at first. But you will feel better once we have our own children. We must forget our failures, I have mine. I will be a loving father and husband. Just not to her." Alfie hugged Rowena to his chest tightly. He wanted to erase what he was saying. It was difficult to do this. But Salazar could not be given mastery of the wand. Even the Council feared the green parseltongue. "She wont be harmed. I know how to do it. You could just forget her, I will take care of it."

[Rowena Ravenclaw]

Rowena buried her face in Alfie's chest, unable to look him in the eye. His strange behaviour confused her, from violent and aggressive he suddenly turned calm and gentle again. “My daughter is not a failure!” she screamed. That was the worst thing he could say to her, or the best for his plan. Rowena knew that she was a failure as a mother, but it wasn’t Helena’s fault. “I don’t understand, you want me to have your children, but you can’t accept the fact that I already have a daughter with another man. Well, I’ve been married before and so have you and my daughter is my priority, whether you like it or not! I can’t just forget her! I’m sorry!”

[Melkor 'Alfie' Valenceus]

Alfie's eyes widened at her outburst about Helena not being a failure. He silently dared her to prove it. He did not see the child as significant and so did not see it as a success. Therefore it was a failure. But that was not what Alfie had meant by his words. "Come now, dear. We should not get emotional about this. That is probably how you ended up having such a pitiful thing in the first place. Just trust in me. I will find a way to fix things. And then we may make our union public." Alfie stood up straight and released Rowena. He picked up his wand. "We should move her now. As soon as possible. There is no reason to keep her free for any longer. Come." Alfie turned his back on Rowena and headed toward the door. Before she could move he called back to her. "Stay here then, I can do this alone."

[Rowena Ravenclaw]

Rowena narrowed her eyes, suppressing the urge to hit him. She started shaking and wiped the tears from her cheeks. "Not get emotional... we are talking about my daughter, Alphard! How can I not get emotional?! That pitiful thing is my daughter... How can you be so cold?" Rowena just sat on the table when Alfie stood up and released her. "Please, don't do that..." she whispered, her body shaking in silent sobs. "Alfie?" she called after him. "Alphard?" Rowena jumped on her feet, raising her wand. "No! You're not touching my daughter!" she screamed and pointed her wand at him, screaming "Expelliarmus!"

[Melkor 'Alfie' Valenceus]

Alfie had never decieved someone this way before. He had really turned away so that Rowena wouldn't see his expression. He did not think he was convincing enough but when he was about to turn to Rowena to Imperius her, he heard her charm. His wand, the Elder Wand, flew into a wall and bounced across the floor. "Rowena!" Alfie exclaimed. "I am sorry." Alfie fell back against the wall and sank to his rear. He should explain, but was afraid to at the moment. That information would put Rowena in danger as well, "You have my word. The- ...that thing will not be harmed. You should go now."

[Rowena Ravenclaw]

Rowena stood motionless, her heart beating faster and her chest rising and falling as she struggled to catch her breath. Her hands were shaking and her wand was pointed at Alfie’s chest. Alfie’s wand flew across the room and hit the wall, before falling down on the floor. Rowena didn’t realize what she had done, that she had disarmed the master of the Elder wand, she could only think of her daughter and how to keep her safe. There was a strange sparkle in her eyes as she moved towards Alfie with her wand raised. When he spoke her name and said he was sorry, Rowena lowered her wand, almost feeling sorry herself. Rowena kept her gaze focused on him; her heart was breaking when she spoke to him. “I don’t want to see you again... unless you change your mind.” Rowena gave him one last look, before running out of the room and down the empty corridor. She wanted to go back to him, but she had to put her pride and the need to protect her daughter before her feelings for him.

[Melkor 'Alfie' Valenceus]

Alfie drew a circle in a collection of dust that rested on the floor next to him. He thought over Rowena's words. He would probably not have to use this trick. He wondered what Rowena would think when he finally disarmed her. Should he tell her? Alfie was unsure of what the future held. But knew disaster had been averted at the very least. Alfie climbed to his feet. He was sweating profusely. He wiped his brow and patted his stomach.

Alfie saw the Elder wand under the staff room table. For a moment, he considered leaving it there and running after Rowena to convince her of his mind. "Priorities, Alfie. Remember your plot." Alfie walked to the wand and picked it off the floor. He took a rat from his pocket and placed it on the table with some food. He aimed his wand at it, "Crucio!" The rat seized for a moment but went back to eating the bread Alfie had laid out.
