As the days went by more of Evals doings were featured in various wizarding Medias. As much as Harry would love to help out the Order, he had another task at his hand. The Gryffindors were suppose to take on the Ravenclaws for their second match at the end of February.
‘Ok, whoever wins this match gets to compete in the final match of the year!’ Harry barked in front of his team mates two weeks before the match. ‘We all know that we’ve won the Cup last year but that doesn’t mean that we’re just gonna sit here and not cut some slack! I want you guys to work all the time-’
‘Harry we all know that we’re going to win this match the way you’re going. So just relax-’ Katie began.
‘See this is the kind of attitude that I’m trying to prevent!’ Harry burst out, Katie stared at him shocked. ‘You’re being arrogant and too confident-the kind of attitude that’s gonna be your downfall if you’re not careful! You think you can conquer everything-but you can’t! Not without practice! So try to put in at least a hundred times of more effort from now on!’
‘We’ve been practicing day and night! So don’t you dare say that we’re not putting in as much effort as you want us to!’ Katie burst out.
‘I’m not! All as I’m saying is that you guys should not think that you can just go out there and win anything! You must always think that you’re trying as hard as you can! You must never allow yourself to feel that you can win this match!’
‘Why not!’
‘Because if you do then you’re egos will get bigger-and that’s a fact and you’ll think that you don’t need to practice anymore!’
‘For your kind information Harry, we never feel that way because you’re always there to remind us what’s right and what’s wrong!’
‘Hey guys, chill.’ Ginny said getting in between the two then she looked pointedly at Harry ‘I think that should be all for today.’
Harry waited until all his team mates except Ron, Torch and Ginny had left, then he rounded on her ‘Ok, what is it?’ he demanded.
Ginny sighed ‘Look, I know what’s going on inside of your mind Harry but there is nothing you can do.’
‘Don’t you think I’m aware of it-’
‘We all know you are which is why we’ve come up with an idea.’ Ron said.
‘And what is that?’
The two siblings shared a look before Ron continued ‘Harry we think you should try to break into Voldemorts mind and find out what he’s up to.’
Harry did not immediately back away but said rather slowly almost smirking ‘But its too dangerous, what if he feels me and then there is also the possibility that he may control me without any of you knowing.’
‘Well yes there is that possibility…but then if we are really careful and if you really practice hard then we might be able to do it in three weeks time.’ Said Torch. Harry stared at her.
‘You mean you’re up to the idea that I should break into Voldemorts mind?’ he asked.
‘Of course I am. And besides with the proper training you can get inside his head without him realizing-but you will need a lot energy for that and you might not be able to do it whenever you want, and certainly you cannot control him-he is too mentally strong. So are you game?’
Harry grinned and said almost instantly ‘I’m game whenever you are!’
Ron and Ginny gave an inward sigh thinking that at least Harry would be occupied for the next few days with something else and that meant he won’t be loosing his tempers too much.

There was only one source of light from the manor of Little Hangleton that day and it was and it was coming from the large study room.
‘He is her, my lord.’ Wormtail said as he cautiously approached the arm chair
‘At last!’ came Lord Voldemorts voice from the chair ‘Bring him in!’
Wormtail disappeared for a few seconds and came back with one burly man ‘This if Frederick Zuniga my lord and he has what you are looking for.’
‘Yes, Frederick, come in front of me so that I may see you.’
Even the huge Frederick stooped down in front of the Dark Lord out of fear. ‘I see that you’ve followed my instructions. Only a man with a long line of bounty hunters in their blood could’ve found it.’ Said the Dark Lord.
‘My branch of family had been bounty hunters for more then a few centuries and finding the Pyramids of Fulmat had been a sort of family goal. The instructions that you gave me were very accurate, my lord. The protective charms that you gave me shielded me from all the curses, my lord. I can stand in front of family’s tombstone and announce proudly that I have fulfilled their dreams.’
‘Impressive.’ Said Lord Voldemort. ‘So where are the remains of Prince Fulmat?’
‘In here, my lord.’ The bounty hunter produced a glass jar containing the powdered remains of the prince; the Dark Lord reached out his long fingers and took hold of the jar. Frederick gave him fifteen minutes before he dared to ask for his reward, the Dark Lord impatiently waved his wand without taking his eyes from the jar and immediately a trunk appeared. The bounty hunter hungrily opened it and found it filled to the brim with precious stones and gold. ‘My lord!’ he said softly and bowed out of the room tugging his treasure chest.
It was a long time before the Dark Lord spoke again. ‘At last, I now have the power to lure out the two people who can destroy my Evals and kill them instead. But we need to make a potion first and I will need your help Wormtail. It will take two weeks for the potion to mature and then we can add the remains and it will lure out the reincarnated prince and the warrior-whoever they are and wherever they are!’
