~~~~~~~~~~~*********Chapter 7********~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harry watched as Draco and Narcissa left the hospital room before he turned back to Alice. "Alice, I need you to take me through that night one more time in as much detail as you can." Alice nodded, knowing Lord Potter had waited for Draco to leave so he wouldn't become even more upset when Alice explained what happened that night again.
Alice sat back down in the chintz armchair Narcissa had conjured earlier. "Alright, it was about 10:30 when two men, who identified themselves as Aurors Ron Weasely and Seamus Finnegan came into my establishment. One of the reasons I took them and the forged papers they gave me seriously was because they were in official red Auror robes.
I must admit I was surprised when they explained why Draco was there; it had been many years since someone was ordered via the courts to repay a debt by any means available to them. While many people get into the sex trade to pay back debts it is generally by their choice not court orders.
I feel terrible that I didn't press them harder but Weasely and Finnegan seemed to be in a rush. I only realize now why they seemed to want to get out of my business as quickly as possible. Couldn't let anyone see them, or by chance someone recognized them, could they?
I looked the papers over and they looked legitimate, down to the seal on the bottom for the Judge who made the ruling. When I agreed to take Draco in as one of my workers they explained that his name was Draco Lucien.
Weasely went on to explain that Draco was eighteen years old, had no family and during the war his family had committed a rather large wrong against his family. I never asked as I figured that Weasely wouldn't explain it to me anyway.
Weasely went on further and detailed that he had brought charges against the Lucien family for the repayment of their debt. Apparently Weasely decided that Draco would repay his debt faster as a sex worker since he had no formal education or notable skills.
Weasely detailed the method that I was supposed to send the payment in by; a postal owl with several charms placed on it to deter theft was to be sent to a post box in Hogsmeade at the beginning of each month. The sum of the required payment was 30 galleons a month. I asked how long this would go on but Weasely said it would take a year to pay off Draco's debt to him and his family.
Now that I think back on it both of them seemed a bit smug about what they were doing to Draco. Needless to say I didn't get much time to think on it as I was obliviated right before they left Draco with me.
I remember coming back to myself in my office and seeing Draco lying there still knocked out. I moved him to an open room and sat with him until he woke on his own about an hour later. He was noticeably upset and confused on how he came to be where he was.
I remembered only what I told Lord Potter when we spoke at the The Fallen Sakura Blossom. It seems when they obliviated me they left the essential information like Draco's false name, age, where to send the money every month, and general details of why he was in my house. So you can imagine my explanations were rather lacking when Draco began to asking questions about himself and how he got there. All I could tell him was that he was there to work off his debt by being an employee in my house."
Harry watched as tears filled Alice's eyes, as she let herself remember that night again. In a slightly choked voice Alice pushed forward; "I had to tell a scared eighteen year old who remembered nothing about himself that he had to sell his body to pay back his alleged debt.
You have no idea how much I hate myself right now! If only I knew it was all a lie then, I never would have let Draco do the things he has had to do. Draco never said anything to me, I don't think he knew for sure, but I believe he was virginal when he came to work for me.
God, the things that were done to him and he didn't deserve any of it! I may run a business that many would turn their noses up at, but I always try to operate honestly and safely. Alice took the tissue handed to her by the still present Healer James and wiped her eyes and nose daintily.
"Finnegan just stood there most of time and let Weasely talk. But that is as much as I can recall at the moment I'm sure the memory will be clearer and more precise than my explanation. I'm sorry I don't have more to tell you." Harry listened to it all, the cold fury burning in his gut once again.
How could Ron and Seamus do this? Yes, they hated Draco Malfoy, but this was simply too much! As far as Harry was concerned they were no longer his friends, as the two men he had once called friends would never have done this to another person.
Harry didn't know this Ron or Seamus; these men Alice were describing to him were cruel and sadistic, and Harry didn't want to be in the same room with people like them let alone friends with them.
Merlin! Harry was sick when he remembered Alice explaining how she believed Draco was untouched when he came to her. He couldn't imagine how horrible it must have been for Draco; night after night of being taken by men he didn't know or care for.
That was the part that upset Harry the most; that Draco had precious little that was still left pure and innocent about himself, and that had been ripped away from him by the cruelty of Ronald Weasely and Seamus Finnegan. Harry had to stop himself from running out of the hospital, finding the both of them and cursing them until only a mass of flesh remained behind.
Harry looked into Hermione's eyes and saw the anger boiling in her eyes as well. It was indeed safe to say that neither one of them would have anything to do with Ronald Weasely or Seamus Finnegan again. Unless it revolved around the investigation or trial against them.
A gasp from Alice made Harry break out of his murderous thoughts and focus back on the Madam. "Draco left the money he made back at the The Fallen Sakura Petal, plus I know I had no right to keep any money that he earned while working with me.
When you see him later Lord Potter please tell Draco I'll send as much as I can until every galleon, sickle and knut Draco ever made while working for me is paid to him. Also, will you go after the money I sent to those two pigs back to Draco?" Alice looked between Harry and Kingsley waiting for an answer.
"I'll let Draco know that you will send him the money he earned as well as the profit you made while he was working for you. If he has a problem with that I will let you know as soon as I can Alice." Harry smiled slightly at the flustered Madam. Kingsley took the next part of Alice's question.
"As for the monies sent to Weasely and Finnegan; as soon as they are found guilty, the Ministry will seize their vaults, property and any titles in their names in order to repay Mr. Malfoy. A sum will be decided and ordered to be repaid by the Wizengamot when Weasely's and Finnegan's sentences are read.
But I can assure you in this case the monetary judgment will be quite large, as will be the time sentenced to Azkaban. Both men deserve whatever judgment they receive and I for one will not plead for leniency on their behalves, and I'm sure Lord Potter nor Healer Granger will either." Harry noticed Alice looked pleased with both his and Kingsley's answers.
"Well if it looks like I have what I need to get this investigation going. If you need me floo call or send an owl." With that Kingsley shook everyone's hands and made his way out of the room.
Hermione hugged Harry tightly before leaving with Healer James; Hermione probably wanted to speak to Healer James about what she had found in regards to Draco's memory block. Finally Harry shook Alice's hand, telling her he would be in contact with her tomorrow sometime in regards to the money Draco had made and her repayment of the money she owed him.
Alice made her way out of the room, leaving Harry to his still simmering thoughts. He couldn't help the snort that came from his nose; did Ron and Seamus really think they could get away with it? That Narcissa wouldn't notice her son was missing and not report it? They really were stupid if they thought they could ignore Narcissa Malfoy for long.
Harry knew the woman could come off as cold, but he knew when it came to Draco Narcissa would claw your eyes out before she let you hurt her child. She was even more protective of Draco after the war and her son's trial ended. Harry had seen Narcissa's love for Draco in her eyes when he had spoken on both their behalves at their Wizengamot trials.
Harry figured Narcissa's protectiveness was due to the fact that she felt guilty for everything Draco had been put through at the hands of his father, and then by Voldemort. Couple in her feelings of shame and helplessness at not being able to stop any of it, and you had one viciously protective mother.
That Narcissa was one of the craftiest and formidable women Harry knew didn't help either. Ron and Seamus had really fucked up royally when they took Draco and then snubbed Narcissa; for that they would pay dearly. Come what may Harry would stand by the Malfoys, and do everything in his considerable power to make sure his two former friends were punished to the maximum.
When Harry was done with them he didn't want either bastard to have anything left to them. The two criminals would be thrown into Azkaban with nothing to their names and disgrace brought to their families.
Harry did feel a bit bad for the Weasely and Finnegan families, but Ron and Seamus had brought this on themselves when they did what they did to Draco. Harry had no remorse for them whatsoever and if the Weasely clan wanted to get angry with him for assisting the Malfoys, well they could all kiss his arse.
Bill, Fleur, Charlie and George would stand by Harry in this. He knew they had no love for Draco Malfoy, but even they wouldn't wish or condone what was done to him on anyone.
Molly and Ginny would probably think Malfoy deserved it, Merlin help them if they ever said that in front of Harry. He wouldn't be able restrain himself, and would really hate to curse his kind of surrogate mother and her daughter to hell.
Arthur was an unknown; he could go either way in this but Harry believed he would side with Harry. Arthur was loyal to his family but not blindly so, or at least Harry hoped.
He sighed it didn't matter either way Harry had made his choice in this situation, and he wouldn't back out or down until justice was done on Draco's behalf. Glancing at the clock Harry saw it was already 2 pm; he was surprised that so much time had gone by.
Realizing he was bloody starving Harry decided to go back to Number 12 to have a late lunch. He needed to collect his thoughts in regards to the new information he had gained and the revelation he had made today.
This revelation was the slight attraction he felt to this new Draco Malfoy. Yes, Harry always found Draco attractive but he was always so haughty and downright mean towards Harry while they were in school, making him rather unappealing to the Gryffindor.
However after Draco's trial when Harry would run into him, and they would chat cordially he would catch glimpses of the Draco behind the ice prince facade. Harry was quite fond of that hidden Draco and it seemed that when he had his memory stolen from him Draco was free to act like he normally would.
Harry cursed himself as he stepped off the lift and into the atrium, completely ignoring the admiring stares from the people milling in the atrium, how could he be thinking of Draco like that?! For Morgana's sake! Draco had just been through hell for six months and Harry wanted to date him!
Harry shook his head, for right now he would help Draco heal and overcome his painful memories. Between Narcissa and himself, he believed that one day Draco could be okay again.
And maybe then Harry could broach the subject of Draco and him getting together. Resigning himself to this course of action Harry made it to the apparition point and with a crack he was gone.
Ah! Two Chapters in one night! Coffee you are a demon but one I adore you. Hope you enjoyed it lovelies!
