Chapter 8
~Master Manipulator Revealed~
“You! You traitor!” Molly screamed, sparks shooting from her hair. “You’ve turned my son from me! You’ll pay for this!! How dare y-” Silence filled the room again as another silencing charm was enacted.
“Merlin, I thought Ginny was loud when she was angry,” a voice across the rotunda chuckled. Harry smiled coldly at the comment. He waited a few moments before speaking.
“Molly, I have known you and your family since I was eleven years old,” he started off conversationally. “You were the one who helped me onto the platform the first time. You were also the person I considered my pseudo mother for years. I loved you as a mother and your family was my family….until you kept trying to get me together with your daughter. That wouldn’t have been so bad, until you tried using the Imperius Curse on me. What you didn’t know, however, was that when Crouch’s son polyjuiced as Moody in 4th year, he kept using that curse on me until I was able to break free of it.” Molly jerked in shock at the confession. “So you couldn’t have known that any dialogue between me and your daughter was strictly platonic. When Ginny came to me explaining what had happened and what you wanted her to do...well, I hope you understand I couldn’t allow it to happen. Both Ron and Ginny came to me, willingly, years ago. They are now my family, along with many others.” Harry studied the woman in front of him for a few moments.
“I consider family my highest priority,” Harry continued, as he walked around the room, looking at each of his remaining guards and motioning them to follow him. “Especially since my parents were killed by Voldemort.” He led the guards to the front of the room. He smiled to himself, knowing that this was going to be just the thing to break the Weasley matriarch. He looked up at her again and raised his eyebrow. “Are you going to hold your tongue if I release the silencing charm?” He waited for her response before lowering the charm. “I have a few questions that I want answers to before I decide what to do with you. I will be giving you Veritaserum so that you answer them honestly because I’ve grown tired of omissions, half-truths, and flat out lies. Nod if you understand.” Molly nodded, her eyes full of venom. She was startled, though, when she felt her mouth forced open by invisible hands and four drops of the truth potion put on her tongue. The moment her head dropped was the moment Harry knew he could start asking her questions.
“Why did you push Ginny and I towards each other knowing that neither one of us were interested?” Harry asked, his clear voice echoing throughout the room.
“We were offered a stipend out of your family vault if you were to marry,” Molly’s monotone voice filled the room.
“Who wanted us to be married?” Harry asked, his arms crossed in front of him.
“Dumbledore,” Molly replied. Harry stiffened when he heard the name.
“Why did he want us to marry?” he asked.
“He knew if you were to marry, you would be willing to do anything to keep her safe,” Molly intoned. “Including doing anything he asked of you. If you were to die after she married you, your vaults would revert to the Weasley family”
“So he threatened Ginny in order to keep me under his thumb?” Harry asked, his fury becoming palpable.
“Yes,” Molly murmured. “He threatened all of us.”
“Did Dumbledore tell you about the contract between me and Pansy?” Harry asked.
“Yes,” Molly replied.
“Did he tell you that it had already been paid?”
“Yes,” Molly intoned.
“Is that another reason why you pushed me to get together with Ginny?” Harry asked.
“Yes, because I knew there was nothing holding you back from pursuing her,” Molly said.
“And when you realized that we were nothing more than friends, you thought that it was okay to try and force me?” Harry was incredulous. Surely she wasn’t that stupid.
“Yes, because you weren’t with anyone else,” Molly answered. “And the money in your vaults would have paid for everything.”
“And what about the rest of your family?” Harry asked smoothly, changing topics. “Do they condone or condemn what you’ve done?”
“They condone it,” Molly replied. “They know how important it is to get your money. If you were to die single, the money would go to the Goblins. It needs to remain with witches and wizards!”
A somewhat loud snort drifted up from the group that stood behind him. He shot a glance at the group in a silent warning to hold their tongues or face the consequences.
“And what about Hermione?” Harry asked, folding his arms in front of himself. “Does she condone or condemn your actions?”
“I haven’t seen her recently, so I assume she’s gone into hiding,” Molly replied as she lifted her head to look at Harry straight on. The raise in pitch alerted Harry that the Veritaserum was wearing off. “She probably took off into hiding to get away from you!”
“Actually, my Lord, I’d like to say something if I may,” a quiet voice spoke up from the back of the group. Harry turned and smiled. While he knew the disguised voice, the bitch hanging from the chains did not. Oh this is going to be even better than I hope, he thought to himself.
“Of course,” he said smoothly. “Please, be my guest.”
The cloaked person smoothly made their way around the guards, stopped next to Harry, and looked up at the woman in chains. Their head tilted in thought before speaking.
“My Lord wouldn’t do anything to harm Hermione,” the speaker’s voice echoed throughout the room. “In fact, she’s probably the person who is the safest.”
“And why should I believe anything that comes from you?” Molly’s words were venomous.
“Divesto!”
The charm rang out around the room and Molly’s jaw dropped in shock as the speaker revealed themselves.
“Because I am pregnant with his child,” Hermione said sweetly, taking Harry by the hand and squeezing his fingers lightly. “And because he loves me and has loved me since we were searching for Voldemort’s horcruxes.”
“But you and Ron-” another silencing charm broke off Molly’s words.
“Ron and I may have shared a kiss after the final battle with Voldemort, but that did not automatically mean that we got together,” Hermione replied coldly. “We sat down and had a long talk after things settled and mutually decided that we weren’t meant for each other. I found my soul-mate in Harry after he kissed me just before the start of the next term. Ron found his soul-mate in someone else.”
Hermione’s hair started sparking again and her eyes were becoming gold with anger. Harry put his hand on the small of her back and started whispering in her ear in an attempt to calm her. The silence stretched out from a few seconds to a few minutes as Harry helped Hermione regain control of her anger. Once she was calm, she resumed speaking.
“If you had succeeded in your ministrations, Harry and I could have been killed, not to mention Ronald and Genevra,” Hermione hissed, motioning to the two Weasley siblings that stood behind her. “Harry once considered you part of his family, but when you refused to back down? Harry had been rejected before, but never by someone who he considered the family he never had. In your mission to split us off, you lost Harry as family.”
“And once Harry came to Ron and me and explained what you had done, and what the result could have been, you lost us, too,” Ginny spat, stepping forward to address Molly. “I had never been so disappointed by someone in my life when we were told. So Ron and I got together and wondered what else had been happening and who had been told what.”
“You see, Molly, the funny thing about family is how close they become when they have a common enemy,” a cold smile spread across Harry’s face as he walked behind the cloaked figures that were lined up. “And what makes a person a better enemy than someone who just won’t quit even when faced with the possibility of not one, but two of her children dying?” He stopped behind one of the cloaked figures before speaking again. “It’s also not the first time you’ve tried manipulating members of your family...is it, Bill?” He pulled on the back of the hood to reveal the oldest Weasley son’s face.
“No, it isn’t the first time,” Bill snarled furiously. The burning hatred for the restrained woman in front of him was palpable. “This bitch has tried manipulating all of us in one way or another. She was even successful a few times...that is, until the rest of us caught on.” Bill pulled his wand from his sleeve. “If I may, my Lord?”
“You may,” Harry chuckled, knowing that the final blow was about to drop. “It’s about time Molly Weasley learns the real meaning of family...and the consequences of betraying those she claimed to love, honor, and protect.”
Bill raised his wand, pointed it at the remaining guards, and turned back to smile at the woman he once considered his mother. He knew what he was about to reveal was going to break her and he found that he just didn’t care anymore. An important lesson needed to be taught, and he was pleased that Harry had allowed him to be the one to teach it. He turned back to the group and smiled.
“Divesto!”
A shrill scream filled the room as the other guards were revealed.
