For any Voldy lovers out there I would suggest the video above, (no worries its clean!)

Rubin Raywood looked around, he could have sworn that the negotiator would be here by now.
Black mailing the Dark Lord was never a good idea, but just the thought of all the riches that would await him if he succeeded. He could even demand to be moved up into the inner circle, Power and riches, two things that he would do anything for.
There was a soft rustling behind him, he turned to see a cloaked figure approaching. Rubin spread his arms and smiled, "You must be the negotiator." He called, trying to make his voice sound booming and commanding, The figure shook his head, almost pityingly "No....I'm the Assassin." It leapt forward, kicking him to the ground in one swift movement, before grabbing his neck and twisting it in a single fluid motion.
Rubin swayed softly before collapsing. His vision started to fuzz over, the last thing that he saw was a glimpse of the famed Silver Skull mask.

James Potter looked around. Ever since the long string of assassinations had begun he had been struck with the powerful feeling of, "I'm next."
But nothing had happened so far, despite them losing over thirty order members to what was becoming known as the Silver Skull Assassin.
Usually, he wasn't scared of measly shadow killers, but this one was different.
They rarely used unforgivables, their methods being much.... Bloodier...
Part of him had always wondered if it had been that very wizard who had murdered his only son... it was rather unlike the dark lord to leave no trace that any unforgivable was successfully cast.
James sighed remembering little Harry, the child had been so perfect, rarely ever cried, was incredible on the small broom that they had given him, and was (More-so than anything) calm.
James rarely cried, and that was no exception. Lily on the other hand was still super sensitive about it. Even when their other son Leo brought them so much joy. He sighed again and brought his attention back to the Order meeting.
"-This is no laughing matter Sirius, we still have no idea who this Assassin is working for, we have lost many Order Members, besides, we have even found a few dead Death Eaters..." Sirius snorted, "I know I know... This is a very.... Sirius matter..." James chuckled softly to himself, after realizing that he was the only one.
Sirius crossed his arms and muttered "Tough crowd". Mcgonigal cleared her throat and continued, "We could just be dealing with a simple hired killer, possibly the work of some crime lord-"
"CRIME LORD?" Roared moody, "THIS SO CALLED SIMPLE ASSASSIN HAS TAKEN OUT TWENTY ORDER MEMBERS AND OVER FOURTY MINISTRY WORKERS! THIS IS NO SIMPLE ASSASSIN! THIS IS THE WORK OF VOLDEMORT HIMSELF!" Once Moody's rant was done the order remained in silence, James sighed again. Even he didn't realize that it was that bad.
"I know who he is..." The order turned their heads to face Remus, their old friend was worriedly twiddling his thumbs and his legs shook unconsciously, he took a deep breath before speaking, his voice little more than a whisper, "It's The Dark Lord's son..." He ducked his head and waited to get yelled at or something but the order just laughed.
Even Micgogogal snorted softly, "I'm not kidding!" Lupin tried, "Rumors have floated around, especially among werewolves... Greyback has been bragging about training "The Son", as he called him..." That made them quiet. The silence lasted a moment longer as each member began drawing up pictures of what that could mean for them, each one more worrying than the last...
"If that is true..." Lily started "Then we are all going to die..."

Bonus:
Leo pressed his eye to the lock, "I can't see anything." He hurriedly whispered, Ron shoved him out of the way and pressed his own eye to the lock,
"RON!" Hermoine hissed, he shushed her before squinting even harder. She gave leo an apologetic look, he just shrugged. Ron's personality took a bit of getting used to, but once you got over it, he was really a great friend.
Fred and George took it upon themselves to come thundering down the steps at that very moment
"Hello!" "There!" "Tiny" "Children" "Causing" "Any" "Trouble?"
They finished together, one of the twins walked down and heaved Ron off his feet, "Ickle Ronnykins not being very nice?" Fred asked, "Tsk tsk Ronniekins don't you know to be polite to your neighbors?" George asked,
"I thought that we taught you children better, Kindness and manners will last forever"....
"NEVER!"
They both howled in sync before bursting into laughter, Ron scowled, "What do you want?" he demanded before putting his eye back to the hole,
"Oooooh nasty little creature eh Georgie, do you still think we should help the ickle children."
"Your right Freddy, let's leave them to their fun little guessing games" They both skipped away humming loudly and rather off key.
"WAIT!" Hermoine yelled after they hardly went out of sight,
"HARK!" Called Fred, "Tis the cry of a lost Marauder." "Alas Freddy shall we do something?"
"Alas dear georgie I have yet to hear an apology." Hermoine sighed, "Were sorry alright" Leo nodded his agreement, which was good enough for the twins. They tossed them what looked like severed ears attached to a string of flesh, Hermoine held it at arm's length before sticking an eyeball to one of the sides.
"What does it do?" she asked, "Stick it under the door to find out!" The twins called in sync before skipping away again.
Hermoine gave them a confused look before shoving Ron out of the way and sliding the ear under the door,
"-IS NO SIMPLE ASSASSIN! THIS IS THE WORK OF VOLDEMORT'' The ear howled in an uncanny interpretation of Moody's voice. It remained silent for another moment before they heard Lupin's voice come into it. "I know who he is..." The trio held their breath, from what little they heard so far, what was to come was going to be big...
"It's The Dark Lord's son..." Lupin finished to an uproar of laughter, "I'm not kidding!" Lupin tried again, "Rumors have floated around, especially among werewolves... Greyback has been bragging about training The Son, as he called him..." Silence echoed around the room once more, becoming louder and louder by the moment,
"If that is true..." Leo heard his mother begin to speak, "Then we are all going to die..."
The silence was brought up again, perhaps more defining than before. "Well... what are we going to do about it?" Moody growled, apparently annoyed. It was Leo's father who replied this time, "We have to catch him... there is no other wa-"
"NO!" Ron screamed, he threw open the door and barreled into the room. "RONALD!" Yelped Mrs. Weasley.
"YOU CAN'T GO AFTER HIM! YOU CAN'T!" Ron was on his knees now, "He'll kill you!"
"Stay out of this boy!" Hissed Moody, "ALASTOR!" Yelled Mcgonigal, "WHAT!" Moody roared back, "PLEASE STOP!" Lily begged, "QUIET!" Roared James, Sirius laughed. While Leo just stood there, soft tears rolled down his face while he started to slowly comprehend the little that he knew...
The Dark Lord had a son... and he was coming for them...
