Summary: Marlene finds another one of Ridde's hidden places

Since the night at the cemetery, Marlene knew that she was on the right track. The memories and treasures belonging to Lord Voldemort were hidden in the Muggle world. She had narrowed the timing to the late 60s, 72 at the most. It made sense that he would go into the Muggle world. No one knew he was the son of a Muggle and no one would have looked for anything there. This research would also be more important than the earlier one, more accurate. These would be the memories after years of research and experiments. Magic that could hurt more. Marlene was sure that there would be even more powerful magic protecting it, something that the Muggles wouldn't catch, but she would.

With the help of two Muggleborn Aurors, they had narrowed down the Muggle places that could have any significance for Voldemort, and then she began visiting them, checking for any sign of magic, dark or light, active or latent. She didn't want to miss anything. She went to the Riddle house even if she knew that it was unlikely. It was the first and shortest visit, before moving on. This afternoon, she found herself where the old orphanage used to be. It was a store block now, shops and offices lined up with nothing to remember what used to be.

There was a small dark alley on one side. She walked there and soon her tracking spells told her that she was on the right track. She followed the magic, Apparating in the cellar of one of the shops. It was filled with crates, but they didn't hold her interest. No, there was an old furnace in the corner that reeked of magic. When she got closer, something on the wall caught her attention. She used magic to get rid of the dust and then she could see words scratched into the stone, names, fears. She looked at the furnace again, and there were marks on it as well. An orphanage, children being kept here, possibly being punished, tied here. For a moment, her heart ached for that boy that would become the most feared Dark wizard. At least it's warm had been written at one point. How terrible! She was absorbed in studying everything around her that she almost missed the noise of the Apparition and she turned, wand lit, trying to find the exact spot where the person was.

The location of his sixth stash was obvious from the moment he had learned of the location of the fifth: It would be somewhere in the Orphanage. Of course, he had been disappointed (ironic as that was) that the Orphanage had been demolished and replaced by newer Muggle buildings. He knew his magic would have kept the secrets safe, but he needed to figure out how to get to them. He had thought of procuring a time turner and going back in time to retrieve them, but there was not time to do that. The irony made him laugh.

So, he would just have to do this the old fashioned way. He apparated near to where the Orphanage used to stand and strode through the business offices, killing the feeble Muggles that dared to stand in his way.

He blasted his way into the area that was immediately above the old furnace room. A quick charm later and he learned he would not be apparating into stone.

After he appeared in the furnace room, he raised his invisibility charms and began prowling along the wall. He had to be sure it wasn't Him.

It didn't take long to figure out it wasn't Dumbledore: The lack of a radiance of power was enough.

"You are trifling with powers beyond your imagination," he hissed into the dark, his voice magicked so to appear coming from all different parts of the room. Of course he was careful that his voice did not reflect fear or curiosity. And he was most curious that someone would find this room.

He couldn't kill the person. No, he had to make sure whoever it was did not know too much.

Petrificus Totalus, he thought the instant he dropped the invisibility charm. He really had to learn to cast while invisible.

She knew she had heard something, so why couldn't she see anyone? She cast another spell, creating a ball of light moving through the cellar, lighting it. She thought she saw a shadow, but then there was a voice from the opposite side of the room. She turned abruptly. She knew that voice; she knew it was him.

"Immobulus." She cast the spell in the direction of the voice, but nothing happened. "Not beyond my imagination; I'm here after all," she replied, trying to buy time. Did she risk casting a message to Dumbledore and not be ready to defend herself? Soon the choice was taken from her, as she felt the hex hit her from behind, and only years of training, allowed her to shift her balance so when she fell, she landed on her side, eyes toward the furnace. No matter what, she'd want to see the Dark Lord.

	"I'll do my best," she answered with a smile, although it wasn't as easy to play a part when everything hurt. Still, she tried. "It's fine, Sir. I might enjoy his company, but Alastor will go mad if he doesn't get out of here and do something. Too much of an Auror to sit still in here." She rubbed Alastor's hand with her thumb. "Go, take as long as you need." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Harry nodded, that was an argument that he could certainly understand. "Then I'll stay until he comes back, or until one of your other friends arrive," he said. "You don't need to worry about her while you're gone, I'll let you know if anything changes," he said. "If you need to, don't hesitate to sleep. I'll keep watch and there is security coming just in case." (Reply to this) (Parent)
