As Tom re-entered the dining hall, he noticed that not quite all of his followers had arrived. Coming up with a quick plan to give those that were delayed a chance to be a part of such a tremendous event he mentally contacted his nephew.
‘Harry, some are still absent from the hall. Let’s take Crabbe, Goyle, the Weasleys and the Lestranges to the antechamber and inform them of what is happening.’
‘Alright, Uncle Tom, take the Malfoys as well. After all, this does affect them as well’
Tom could sense his nephew’s smirk. ‘The ritual?’
‘Among other things. I can’t wait to see the look on Lucius’ face when he finds out you performed a blood brother ritual bonding his son to me.’
‘I may have to handle him’
‘Indeed you may. Um, Uncle Tom, I am leaving Bellatrix’ punishment to Nev. He’s waited his whole life for revenge and coupled with the recent events he’s thoroughly pissed. I’m intrigued to see what he has in store for her.’
‘Very well, Harry. Good decision. Maybe, just maybe, you are worthy enough to be my Heir.’
‘Ugh, Maybe?’
With that, Tom closed the link. He remembered how they discovered they were able to communicate like that. It was right after the attack on the Weasleys. Tom was concerned about the well-being of his life-mate. Harry had the room warded so that he couldn’t get in (which Tom was extremely grateful for). He tried to go into Harry’s mind as he had done before when he came upon a barrier. 'what is going on? Why can I not enter?' ‘Because I don’t want you to’ came back to his mind ‘Ginny is being examined and healed. You do not need to see her in this state of dress.’
Coming out of his ‘talk’ with Harry and his own inner musings, Voldemort noticed his followers were all looking at him expectantly.
“My faithful followers, tonight is a most joyous occasion for many reasons. The first and most important is that my Heir will finally be revealed to you. And I can be certain you will be shocked. An additional reason is that you will once again see a demonstration of his strength and power as there are those that have defied me and him in the most severe of ways: offenses to the Bloodline and personally against the Heir himself. Those that are involved will be severely punished. I do not know how as I have left the punishment to my Heir as he was the most affected by what has happened. Only those whose family members are involved will know the full account as to what has happened. For all others, know this; the crimes were committed against those the Heir sees as his family, one of which is also my life-mate.” Voldemort paused and looked around to the shocked faces of his followers. Most being pureblood, they knew what it meant to have a life-mate. Moreover, they knew what it meant to commit crimes against one. Satisfied that everyone understood what was most likely to happen when the offenders were brought in for punishment, he continued. “Crabbe, Goyle, Rudolphos and Rabastan Lestrange, the Malfoy family, and the Weasleys come with me to the antechamber for a briefing on what has happened.”
With that said Tom rose from his place at the head of the table and exited through to the antechamber. The requested followers cautiously rose and followed their Lord. Everyone else was left behind to wonder what it was that could have happened to involve three of the most powerful families in the world.
Tom sat and waited for those he requested to follow to arrange themselves around the smaller table he conjured in the antechamber. These families were among his most faithful and those he called friends.
“My friends, one of the most heinous crimes in existence was committed against my life mate. I, myself, am not carrying out the punishment because I fear it will not be suitable enough. Therefore, I have left all punishments for this endeavor to be carried out by the Heir. I know you are asking yourselves ‘why’ and ‘how’ each of you is involved. First, however, I feel it most important that you be the first to know the identity of the Heir.” Tom motioned to the shadows on the opposite side of the room. Everyone present turned and looked as a hooded figure stepped into view. Recognizing the Heir, the followers bowed in respect to the one that would one day lead them.
“Before I reveal myself, let me tell you a little story. Over the years, I have been lied to and manipulated by those I thought I could trust. I was mistreated by those who should have loved and protected me only to find that no, they shouldn’t have. When I started at Hogwarts, I became very good friends, or so I thought, with someone I fully trusted and cared for like a brother. Only to recently have discovered he was working on orders to befriend me to help control me.” Harry smiled under his hood as he heard a slight gasp from two of the followers. “This individual’s family also took me in as one of their own. And I love them all as if they were my blood family. Which is a good thing since, technically, they are. This family being a branch of the Gryffindor line and myself being a direct descendant of Gryffindor himself, we are very much related.” More gasps followed that statement. This time from all present.
“Three members of said family knew where to find me and knew only to do so in cases of great importance or emergency. They sought me out because one was ordered to put me under a spell to fall in love with her so she may return me to the one that wishes to control me and for me to do harm to my family. And then steal my magic as he has stolen many others in the past. My grandmother’s included. There is one here that already knows my identity…Draco, join me.” Tom and Harry both grinned at the shocked look on Lucius’ face as his son rose and joined the Heir across the room. Harry placed his hand on ‘brother’s’ shoulder. “This family was wronged as well”
Draco snapped his head around to look at Harry in confusion. He knew his Auntie Bella was an offender. But what he didn’t know was how his family was also victim to what had happened. With a glare from Harry, he quickly turned back around as Harry continued.
“Draco has been like a brother to me since we worked out our differences when he discovered my known identity. I say known, for this that you see before you is my true identity. He became family through an ancient ritual performed by the Uralt Prime making us family for all time and forever joining the Malfoy blood with mine increasing his power drastically. And he also knows most of my secrets. Some he does not, but will in time. He met my family at the gates along with young Crabbe and Goyle. Bellatrix was soon to follow in discovering them. She sent Draco to find Our Lord and have him meet her in the special receiving room in the front hall. Reluctantly, and with a threat from Bella, Draco left the three in charge of the newcomers. He found Our Lord with Severus and I, along with my two most trusted. When we entered the room, Bellatrix had one of the males under Imperious forcing him to use the Cruciatus on the other. The third was over in an alcove with the two young men. They had cast a spell on…”
There was a knock on the door just before it opened to reveal a rather small, plump female Death Eater bustling her way into the makeshift meeting room.
“I’m so sorry My Lord. Dumbledore decided to make a surprise visit and reinforce his compulsion spells. Never have I been more thankful for being such good friends with Lily Potter.” The woman stated as she took her place at the table between two of those already present.
Harry took a deep breath before he continued. He remembered all too clear what happened at his birthday party. “As I was saying, when we entered the room, Bellatrix had one of the males under Imperious forcing him to use the Cruciatus on the other. The third was over in an alcove with the two young men. They had cast a spell on the female and were about to strip her of her magic in the most vile of ways when we managed to get in the room. We left the others to deal with Bellatrix while the two of us “Harry motioned between Tom and himself “went to handle the situation in the alcove. As we finished with the young men, No they are not dead, we went to handle Bellatrix and relieve the others of their task.
Being the Head of the Black Family” Harry smiled at the gasps. He knew if he talked long enough, most of them would figure out who he was before revealing himself to them. “I gave her every opportunity to obey me. She refused and was disowned and is now, along with young Crabbe and Goyle in the dungeons awaiting their punishment.”
“Forgive me My Lord and Heir, but who was it that was treated in such a manner and how exactly do we all fit in this together” Lucius asked after looking around at everyone present.
“You all fit in this a different number of ways. But, first things first; Rabastan and Rudolphos, you are here to be informed that your marriage, Rudolphus, to Bellatrix is null and void as she has been disowned by the Head of her Family making all contracts involving her invalid. And also to inform you that her punishment will be the most severe and if you have any feeling for her at all and do not wish to witness what will happen, you are excused from her punishment. But only hers, you will be present for the other’s. “
“Forgive me My Heir, but I know I would love nothing more than to see that bitch finally get her comeuppance. I can’t speak for ‘Stan.” Rodolphus looked to his brother who was nodding emphatically at his brother’s words.
“Oh yeah, count me in. Wish I could help with it for everything I have seen her do to my brother over the years.” ‘Stan stated looking at his brother with love filled eyes. “He’s been my best friend all our lives and it pained me to see him go through what he had to because of that damn contract. My Lord, may I assist?” Rabastan asked his lord.
“It is not my place to give you permission as I am not her punisher” Tom stated as he looked the two brothers in the eye.
Rabastan turned hopeful eyes to Harry. Who walked over and placed a hand on the man’s shoulder. “I am not her punisher either. However, I will inform him of your request.”
“If you aren’t her punisher, then who is?” Rodolphus asked. “My Heir”
“All in due time, now, to finish answering Lucius’ question. You see, the three that came looking for me were Fred, George and Ginerva Weasley. George was put under the Imperious and forced to put Fred under the Cruciatus. While it was Ginerva who had the spell cast on her and was almost stripped of her magic.” Harry tried with all his might to keep the emotion out of his voice as he made that last statement. Glancing at his uncle, Harry could see the pure hatred in his eyes quickly followed by utter despair at the fact his mate was so close but he could never be with her for he knew he would destroy her.
Harry wasn’t the only one to notice the look on the Dark Lord’s face.
“My Lord, which is your life-mate?”
“As you are the mother, you have the right to know that I have waited a lifetime for your daughter. And before it is stated, I am well aware of the fact of our age difference.” Tom stated matter of factually to the entire group, especially his nephews.
“You still have not explained how the Malfoy family is involved in all of this.” Lucius stated. Not hiding his impatience very well.
“Well, Lucius, that’s the easy part. Draco, you might want to sit down.” Harry lightly shoved on Draco’s shoulder to indicate he should do as asked. “By becoming my blood brother, Draco now has blood from seven of the ten Uralt Families. As opposed to just the two. As I now have seven of the ten, gaining one additional as we both already shared one of the lines. That, and there is another reason but it’s not mine to tell. In due time, it will be known to all.”
“What do you mean seven of the ten Uralt Families? No one alive can handle that much power!” Lucius was starting to lose his cool demeanor at all this information his son should have told him about.
Voldemort was starting to get irritated by Lucius’ continued outbursts and insinuation his Heir was lying. In true ‘Dark Lord’ fashion, he threw a quick Cruciatus at the blonde aristocrat. He realized his mistake the second the spell hit and Harry hit the floor grasping his head in severe pain.
Many things happened in the next few minutes. Things that no one outside those doors would believe if you told them. Hell, some inside couldn’t believe it. First, one of the Death Eaters ran to the Heir and cradled him in their arms while another charged the Dark Lord himself in an effort to break the spell. Second, Draco Malfoy yelled at his Father to shut up with all his questions or he would use a silencing spell on him. Last, yet another DE sent a hex at the one holding Harry which got him punched by one of the others that hadn’t yet got involved.
“ENOUGH OF THIS NONSENSE!!!!!” Tom shouted as he righted himself, countering the hex on the DE. Said follower then proceeded to approach the Dark Lord.
“Forgive me My Lord.” She said as she drew back and slapped Tom across the face.
“You know what that does to him.”
No one in the room moved. Everyone too shocked at what they had just witnessed. A medium ranked Death Eater had just slapped the Dark Lord, Voldemort.
Giving a triumphant nod, she then turned and went back to Harry’s side. As she knelt down beside him, she spoke, “Are you alright, Harry?”
Harry sheepishly looked up into the eyes of Mrs. Weasley. “Yes, Ma’am. How did you know it was me?” He whispered back. Both making sure no one else could hear the conversation and that Harry’s hood was still in place.
“I know all of my children and their voices. I’m so proud of you. And Sabine would be too.” She said as she helped him to his feet and took her seat back at the table. Ignoring the confused look Harry had given her at the mention of his mother’s true identity.
Rudolphus looked around the room completely amazed at what he had just witnessed. As everyone took their places around the table again he pointed to the Heir. “By the gods, you’re Ha….” Even though his mouth formed the words nothing came out.
“No one’s right to say but mine.” Harry said smugly. “To continue, Lucius, now that I am a part of the Malfoy family, you have every right to know everything. After the events of the day, we shall meet in Our Lord’s study as there is much to tell. However, everyone is to know that from this day forward every member of the Malfoy family is also my family and belongs to me. As do the Weasleys, Lovegoods, and Longbottoms.”
As Harry made that last statement the door opened and six figures entered. All adorned with the robes of the Heir’s most trusted.
‘What is going on Harry? Who is the sixth person and why didn’t you tell me?’
‘Sorry Uncle, I wanted to surprise you.’
The six made their way to stand behind Harry, both as a sign of their loyalty and their protection. Draco once again rose from his place beside his father and took a new one; in front of the others but just behind Harry on his right side. Showing all his importance as the Heir’s second in command and family.
“Crabbe and Goyle” Harry started as he turned to face the only two that had remained silent through everything that had happened.
“As you may have already suspected, it was your sons that committed the crime against Miss Weasley.”
Harry noticed many glares, a growl from Remus and a snarl from his Uncle at those words.
“Their punishment will not be as extreme as it should be under the circumstances. And they will have different punishments as they are both not guilty of the same crimes. Crabbe, Vincent is most guilty of following Gregory blindly. Therefore, his punishment will not be as severe. Now, Goyle, Gregory has attempted to commit the most severe of crimes. But, he was not completely aware of the severity of what he was doing. He was completely aware of his intent to rape, though. I, myself, overheard him saying as such when I first arrived. Rape is unforgivable. The fact that he followed what Bellatrix said and cast a very dark spell on her before his attempt was not as much his fault as I do not believe he had full knowledge of what that particular spell does. He will be most severely punished.”
“Yes My Lord and Heir” both fathers said in acknowledgment.
“What dark spell was used on my Ginny?” Mrs. Weasley asked. Forgetting she was addressing the Dark Lord and his Heir.
“It is a very ancient and very dark spell called ????” Hermione answered for Harry and Tom.
Three gasps were heard as the untouchable spoke, confusing Lucius even more. Keeping his mouth shut he stuck with just looking at everyone in a very un-Malfoyish way. Tom noticed his most faithful’s predicament.
“What troubles you Lucius?” He asked.
“Much, My Lord.” Was the shaky reply given. “It seems the Weasleys are familiar with one of the Heirs Untouchables. And with the Heir himself from the slap you received from the matriarch, which in itself troubles me. My son, and heir, has been keeping important facts from me. My family is now to be forever linked and associated with the Weasleys, Lovegoods and Longbottoms of all people. This meeting has perplexed me instead of enlightened me. Just who exactly is your Heir to do such things without consent from the families themselves? Forgive me, My Lord.”
“All of this is understandable, my friend.” Voldemort stated and then turned to the group standing before the others. “My Heir, perhaps it is time.”
With that said, Harry approached the table.
“Now, as Rudolphus has discovered and a couple others have figured out, allow me to introduce myself. I am Orion Ince Black, Son of Sirius Orion Black and Sabine Melrose Riddle; Head of the Gryffindor, Potter, Black, Merlin-le Fay, and Heir to the Riddle and Slytherin Families, second Heir to the Malfoy Family. It is my pleasure to meet you all. Again. As you all know me as Harry James Potter, son of James and Lily Potter.” Harry stated as he pulled his hood back to reveal his face. Then, he took his seat next to his Uncle and watched the chaos ensue.
After a long pause and a couple gasps, the barrage of questions ensued. Not being one to like a big deal made about him, Harry decided to put an end to the chaos he had started.
“You may each ask me one question. I will answer anything you ask. Within reason of course.” He looked around the table at their followers. “Only one so you better make it a good one.”
“How can you be the Heir to Our Lord if you are the son of Potter and Evans?” Lucius blurted out as Tom and Harry both knew he would. Blood being very important to the man.
“Easy. What very few people know” Harry gave Molly a quick look, “is my mother was placed with a muggle family to keep her hidden from her real family. Lily Evans is in fact, Sabine Melrose Riddle, niece of Tom Marvolo Riddle.” Harry paused for all of them to comprehend what he had just told them. These people being not just followers but also friends, they knew their Lord’s given name.
“What only two have known over the years, is that James Potter is not my father. He was in fact, my godfather. He and my mother were never married as my mother was the life-mate to another. Those that were at their wedding will attest to seeing them marry.”
Harry grinned at the nods from Molly and Arthur. “You did SEE James marrying my mother. But, it was actually my father polyjuiced as James, His idea of course, to fool those that would keep my parents apart. Being the best friend of my father, James Potter would have done anything to make sure they could be together and happy. Yes, Sirius and James attended the wedding polyjuiced as each other to fool the old bastard. Plus, that way, they wouldn’t have to break the bond Albus put on the two getting married. The one he snuck into the ceremony. Another time for that story. Do not ask the identity of my followers, you will find out when everyone else does.”
Harry answered everyone else’s questions as quickly as he could. Before long, only one remained and Harry was almost certain of the question to be asked by Rodolphus Lestrange. He was not disappointed.
“My Heir, why are you not handling the punishment of Bellatrix? She has wronged you in so many ways over the years. Including killing your father, one of her blood.”
“I will say that it is very tempting to just torture the bitch to death and just let it be done, but she deserves so much more than I can give. There is one person in my Family that she has wronged even more than me. I feel that it is only fair to allow him the privilege of exacting revenge for his parents and himself. In addition to everyone else she has wronged over the years. Don’t worry, I know him well and he has proven his loyalty to me since the first day we met on the Hogwart’s express at the age of 11. Dray, head down to get the prisoners. I will follow after speaking to the others.” Harry turned to say what he needed to the rest of his little group as Draco rose from the table and left.
Voldemort dismissed the Death Eaters. As they were all leaving to return to the Dining Hall, he noticed each one approach his nephew. He couldn’t help the smile he gave as his FA’s best friend, and her family members here, embrace him like one of their own. When only the Lestrange brothers were left, they hesitantly approached Harry and the others.
“I know who her punisher is.” Rabastan stated when Harry looked at him. “Which one is he as I wish to speak to him, My Heir?”
“And just who is it you think it is? If you are correct, you may speak to him.” Harry said to Rabastan as he noticed Rodolphus wander over towards his friends. “Better yet, ask your brother which one he is. He knows.” Harry gave ‘Stan a knowing look as he motioned towards the man’s brother. Rabastan paled a little at the idea the Heir knew what they had successfully hidden from everyone. Including their Lord.
Hermione was listening to Harry talk to Rabastan Lestrange as Rodolphus was slowly making his way down the line. He passed the twins and as the man neared her, Remus let out a warning growl. One that caused the other to immediately stop and bare his neck to the Remus. Instantly, Hermione knew if no one else did. She would most definitely need to speak to Harry about it. And her werewolf.
Remus walked over to Rudolphos and sniffed the air around him. Rabastan came to stand by his brother in case of trouble. Not that he could really do anything against this werewolf. Only when the man whimpered did Remus let him continue. By the look in his eye, he knew what was going on. Rudolphos had scented his mate. The brothers continued. When they stopped in front of the last two, Harry smiled.
He knew who everyone was meant to be with. Of course, there was a little more to what was going on now. Only Harry and Severus knew of the night Dumbledore had compelled Remus to attack a Death Eater in his wolf form. And who that person was. Of course, this made Rudolphos part of Remus’ pack which made him family.
Harry watched as Rudolphos reached up and gently stroked under the hood of Neville’s cloak. He was thankful he had already prepared Neville for what he knew was going to happen. Harry had watched when the werewolf had scented his mate. It was getting very hard for him to control himself so Harry ended the meeting.
Harry could hear Rabastan asking about helping in the torture of Bellatrix. When only Nev and the Lestranges were left, Harry left to help Draco retrieve the prisoners.
Crabbe and Goyle were lying on the damp floor of the cold, stone cell; both wondering what was going to happen. Bellatrix had assured them that their Lord would understand and forgive them, with only mile punishments for taking the magic of a Blood Traitor. The fact that Gregory Goyle also got what he had always wanted, Weaslette, broken beneath him was a bonus.
“What do you think our punishment will be? Who do you think will punish us? And what were Potter and the Mudblood doing out of the dungeon?” Crabbe asked his companion is a quiet whisper.
“I don’t think our punishments will be too severe. Hopefully, Snape will. And I have no clue why the Gryffindorks and the werewolf are here out of the dungeons.”Goyle responded, just as quietly.
“You both need to shut the hell up” a voice said from outside their cell. “Your fate is in the hands of the Heir. How many times have I warned you about listening to my Aunt Bella?”
“DRACO!!!!” They both said loudly.
“Quiet! Both of you. I have the answers to your questions. The Heir has allowed me, being his most trusted, to talk with you and inform you of just how severe your deeds are. Not only did you go against a direct order issued to EVERY DEATH EATER by the Dark Lord himself; you committed these acts in his own home and against HIS lifemate. Being Purebloods, you both know what that means. My Lord has given the task to his Heir, as he is also Head of the Gryffindor line in which the Weasleys belong. Do not think he will be the slightest bit merciful. The Heir sees the Weaslette as a sister. You have harmed all his family with this one event. All were warned to NEVER touch what belongs to the Heir. Perhaps you remember Percy and what happened when he touched Severus?”
Both prisoners paled at the memory of that day.
“Now, do you have anything to say for yourselves before I take you to the Dining Hall?” Draco asked them “Before you waste anymore of the breath you have left, Lupin is here as an Untouchable along with his mate, Hermione Granger, who is the Heir’s Chief Advisor.”
“Bet Potter loves that!” scoffed Goyle.
“As the matter of fact, I do.” Came a new voice from behind Draco, who stepped aside and let the man enter. “My Lord” Draco greeted as he bowed his head in respect
“Come on, Dray. We are friends, aren’t we?”
“No, Harry. We are not.” Draco replied. He noticed the smirks on his former body guards’ faces . And grinned before continuing. “We are family. Or did you forget the Blood Brother Bond Uncle Tom performed just days ago?” Draco tried to pout.
“Draco, you willingly bonded to Potter?” Crabbe asked in disbelief.
“Yes, now the Malfoy, Potter, Gryffindor, Merlin-le Fay, Slytherin, Riddle and Black Families will be forever linked.” Draco sneered at the stupid question.
“Don’t forget the Snape Family also.” Harry added with an amused look.
“Never would have thought the great Draco Malfoy, current Heir of the Malfoy Family would take it up the arse from Harry fucking Potter of all people. And what does Snape have to do with it all? Does he do Potter while Potter does you?” Goyle bit out at his former friend.
Quicker than anyone saw him move, Harry had Goyle pinned by the throat against the cell wall.
“Never insult my family or my lifemate in such a manner. You are adding more to your punishment. Obviously, you still have no idea exactly who it is you are dealing with.“ Harry hissed at the now trembling young man in his grasp.
A gentle hand on his shoulder caused him to turn and look into the obsidian of Severus. “Let him go, Harry. His punishment is to be dealt for all to see. Do not disappoint them. Or Our Lord” Then, he leaned in an placed a quick, but passionate kiss on Harry’s lips before leaving the cell.
As he released his hold on Goyle, he turned to Draco, “Come on, Dray. We are expected in the Dining Hall and we still have to inform Auntie Bella of her fate”
