===============================
Lord Voldemort was not happy at all. He had just killed off his trusted agent, Severus Snape. He had not really wanted to. Severus was a very valuable ally in his ranks. And he pulled off the flowing dark robes look, like a specter of death, but of course only second to the Dark Lord. It was more a death of necessity reasons than anything else. Since Snape had killed Dumbledore and the Elder wand bowed to Snape.. even if the man or anyone else passed it off to him, he still could not utilize it without the defeat of the victor. And so? Snape needed to die. There was no other way. And with his body sinking to the floor, now he was free to challenge Harry Potter and kill him once and for all. Ohh, he would DIE for all his meddling. But unfortunately such plans were put on hold. While he was in another forest, yes he could see that, it was not the one he knew. He was nowhere near Hogwarts or anywhere else he could recognize.
And so Tom Riddle, publicly known as Lord Voldemort, would lash out. He would cause more pain and suffering. He make others beg for death before granting it. He would gather any followers if they were around. He would rule again! But first. First, he had to send out a big sign that he was here. So he poised his old wand upward toward the sky and shot out a very powerful spell from it. A moment later, a ghastly apparition was high up in the sky, a snake protruding from a skull. It was.. the Dark Mark. Not just any one, it was huge and obviously made by one of great power. To any who recognized it, one thing was clear: Lord Voldemort had indeed returned.
