Chapter 9
Albus Dumbledore was looking over two letters that he had received from a couple of his Aurors, and he was confused about their contents. He held the observation abilities of both of these men in high regard. It was March, and such he was already starting the setups and scheduling for the OWLs and NEWTS. With a sigh Albus turned back to the letter from Kingsley, it was a word for word, blow by blow account of the proceedings at Malfoy Manor. He was surprised at learning that the man had even bothered to allow the boys entrance to his home much less standing up against his wife about the issue of having them stay there.
Albus sighed again, now remembering the difficulties he could foresee in the future about this mess; without his spy in Lucius’ house he was going to have to find another way to circumvent the man at the wizengamut. Pulling himself back from his thoughts, he turned himself back to the description given of the young boy and felt a moment of regret. He had been hoping that the boy might be Harry; ever since the Dursleys disappeared so precipitously two days ago he had been looking for the boy. What really confused him most about the letter from Kingsley was the fact that after a single meeting with no words spoken between them he was waxing poetic about his beauty and goodness… well, poetic for Kingsley anyway, to most people it would have been a mere statement of high belief in the boy. Moody’s letter however was worrying for the opposite reason the boy had done nothing but cry and sleep in his presence and he felt that the ten year old boy was a threat. Albus gave another heartfelt sigh as Fawkes flew in through the window and perched upon his stand. Well, nothing I can do about it now; I will simply have to wait to see.

Lucius was feeling rather overwhelmed, he had no idea how to handle this. Give him a situation where he was a prisoner, where he was leading men into combat or even where he had to identify seven types of silk in less than a minute and he was your man, but put him in this situation and he was a child lost in the forest. He was looking at his son… he had just explained in detail what had happened to his mother and the boy had simply stared at the wall past his head, pale and withdrawn.
Suddenly Draco’s attention was drawn past him to the doorway; standing there quietly was Eiri looking nervous and shaky. He stepped forward “Draco, I’m sorry about what happened with your mother… I know that it’s probably my fault and that you have every right to blame me for what happened. So, I think that you should have the choice of whether Perry and I get to stay… after all if we make you uncomfortable then you shouldn’t have to put up with us.” He trailed off here, looking everywhere but at Draco; so it wasn’t a surprise that he missed the changing expressions upon his face.
Draco went from shock to disbelief to the feeling of being rejected to understanding and then anger all in about ten seconds flat. He walked over to Eiri calmly, evenly taking the fifteen steps that separated them. Then without a word he slapped Eiri for the second time that day. “How dare you say that this is your fault?! Did you force her to cast a spell at you? I don’t think so; you are family and you will stay with the family; you will not leave us alone!” here Draco faltered. “Unless you don’t want to stay with us?” his voice wavered and broke here.
Eiri had been stunned from the slap, but at this he pulled the slightly smaller boy into a hug. “I will stay then, I will stay.” The contact was too much for Draco; for the second time that day he broke down into tears, this time it was a good cleansing cry, and for that Lucius could not help but feel relief.
Perry, who had been watching from the doorway came and set a hand on Lucius’ shoulder giving him an understanding glance. Lucius returned the glance with a thankful one. Then he stepped away from the comforting grip and picked up his son, who curled into his chest and continued to sob. A while later he tucked his son in and called for a house elf. When it appeared in front of him he left it some instructions about his son. “When he wakes up get him some hot chocolate and a warm meal, he will probably still be tired, but let Perry know and he will keep my son company until Eiri and I return from the ministry.”
Perry looked at them and nodded then told the house elf “I’ll be in the library doing some reading on incubi, so feel free to get me when it is time.” The elf nodded and popped away. Perry looked at them and said “you’re going to go turn in that rat aren’t you?” Eiri looked at Lucius and then nodded, his face tired but resolute.
Eiri touched his pajamas and they reformed themselves back into the robes that had formed themselves around him the night before; it was only then that the other two realized that Eiri had never changed clothes, just shifted what he had on. They didn’t ask him about it though, they had a feeling that they had not yet earned the right to know about that flowing fabric.
At the ministry Lucius caught Eiri as he stumbled out of the grate of the floo. Setting him upright he gestured for the boy to follow him and strode off towards Cornelius’ office while carrying a small cage. “Minister,” he regally sneered, “we need some Aurors in here.”
Cornelius, at seeing the anger in Lucius’ eyes quickly agreed and sent his secretary off to fetch them. A few minutes later Kingsley and Moody stepped through the door, looking wary. “Now Lucius, if you will kindly explain what this is all about?” simpered Fudge.
Lucius pointed a finger at the cage that he had sat upon Cornelius’ desk. “That is what this is all about; I demand that you arrest it immediately!” Lucius somehow managed to sound horribly enraged with a low voice. The Aurors looked at the stunned and caged rat and then looked at Lucius like they were certain that he had lost his mind.
Moody then took another look at the rat and drew out his wand. “Animagus hmm, and why would we want to arrest this one?” he sneered at Lucius as he said this. “My cousin here recognized this one as one of the beings that helped in the attack on him six months ago, what is worse is that he hid away in his luggage, he had access to him this whole time!” Lucius roared like an enraged dragon.
Moody turned a thoughtful look upon the pale silent boy who was watching the cage fearfully. He turned back to the cage and pulled a set of manacles out of his pocket. “Kingsley, you cast the reversion charm and I’ll cuff him so that he can’t change back.” Kingsley nodded and removing the rat cast the spell. Everybody in the office save the boy looked surprised; the boy just grabbed onto Lucius’ sleeve and hid his face in his side.
“Pettigrew” murmured Kingsley, jolting Moody back into action. The rat was quickly cuffed in magic restricting manacles, and the Aurors looked at the minister.
Moody was the one to speak what was on their minds. “We will have to look into a trial for Sirius Black, you know that he claimed Pettigrew was still alive and was the betrayer.”
Cornelius hemmed and hawed for a while before he finally gave in with slumped shoulders, sending a third Auror to Azkaban to pick up the convict. About half an hour later he was escorted in to the office where everybody was seated. He glanced around confusedly his eyes stopping on Pettigrew. A crazed manic laughter left his mouth as he gazed upon his old ‘friend’. “Finally going to get what is coming to you, aren’t you, you traitor.” He cackled. He stopped abruptly when he noticed a small movement from the corner of his eye. He looked over to see what had caused it and saw a small boy sort of cringing away from where Pettigrew was slumped to the floor.
Lucius had a blank mask upon his face, but he could not help but feel pride at Eiri’s acting abilities, all through the day he had been giving flawless acts that if he hadn’t known about beforehand he himself would have fallen for. He was also glad that he knew in advance that Eiri had planted memories of the ‘attack’ on Eiri into the rat’s head, thus giving him an excuse for how they had recognized the rat. All in all Lucius now knew that he would never underestimate this boy, and he felt peculiarly thankful that the boy was on his side. Lucius turned his gaze to Sirius Black, and noticed that his gaze was drawn to Eiri.
Black then looked at him and then looked very surprised. “What are you doing here Malfoy?” He sputtered. Moody grimaced and said “he’s the one who turned in the rat; turns out that Pettigrew apparently was part of a gang that attacked his little cousin there and destroyed half his family.” Sirius looked at the boy again who was clutching Lucius’ sleeve. Normally he would have sneered at the brat; he was a Malfoy after all, but something about the haunted fearful expression in those gorgeous eyes made him swallow his words. The boy after all hadn’t done anything wrong, was in fact the victim of an attack if what Moody said was true. A sixth person walked into the room, one that had been sent for while the third Auror who had left after retrieving Sirius had been sent.

Severus Snape was not happy to be here, he hated the ministry; it was as corrupt as it got, and the fact that he was here with a bottle of truth serum did not bode well for him at all. When he glanced around the room he was at first relieved to see Lucius there; until he noticed Sirius Black was standing in the middle of the room laughing at the fallen and shackled form of the long missing Peter Pettigrew. Severus sighed and tilted his head back while closing his eyes. Yup, this day had been going too well, he should have been expecting this. Taking another look around the room, this time he noticed the small now quivering boy who was hanging on Lucius’ sleeve, he couldn’t help but stare at this picture, because Lucius actually allowed the boy to do so. Severus looked a little more closely at the boy and found that haunted blue-green eyes were looking at him like he was offering the solution to all the boy’s problems; little did Severus know that he actually was, at the moment offering just that.
Cornelius finally looked at Severus and imperiously gestured for him to come forward. Severus barely refrained from rolling his eyes at the pudgy little man, but did step forward, pulling out the vial of Veritaserum. “You will be administering the serum to firstly one Sirius Orion Black, followed by one Peter John Pettigrew.” Cornelius pedantically droned. Sirius was pushed gently into a chair by Moody, who then backed up and leveled his wand at the man.
Snape this time simply sighed, stepped forward and applied the required three drops to the convicts tongue, and stepped back to watch the man for signs of rejection, after thirty seconds he nodded and Kingsley stepped forward. “Please state your name.”
“Sirius Orion Black”
“your current place of residence?”
“Azkaban Prison”
“how old are you?”
“28”
“were you the Potters’ secret keeper?”
“No, we changed keepers at the last moment, because we were afraid that they would know to go straight after me, we thought that if we told them it was me but made it someone else we would be able to keep them safe.”
“Have you ever worked for or aligned with Lord Voldemort?”
“No, I have not” Moody nodded and stepped forward, releasing all of the chains the now ‘ex’ convict was wearing. Severus stepped forward reluctantly and dosed him with the anti-serum. Sirius stepped away from the chair he had been in, a sparkle in his eye. He went over the couch and sat on the other side of the small boy who was still staring with a glazed look at Peter.
Peter was bound to the chair given the dose of Veritaserum and hit with an enervate. He came to scrabbling desperately at the arms of the chair. He slowly calmed as the serum worked its way through his system. When he was finally still. Kingsley stepped forward again and asked the standard opening questions. Once those were out of the way he got to the pertinent questions. “Were you the potters’ secret keeper?”
“Yes”
“did you betray them to Voldemort?”
“Yes”
“why did you betray them to Voldemort?”
“Because I was jealous of them, they had everything I wanted and took it for granted.”
Here Kingsley put a quick muffliato spell on Peter so that he couldn’t hear what he said next. He looked at Lucius and Eiri and with an apologetic expression told them “I am going to ask him about the attack and his role in it now…” turning to Lucius, “do you think he should be here for this?” he gestured with his head towards Eiri. Lucius looked Eiri in the eye and asked him quietly if he wanted to go or stay.
Eiri looked up at Lucius and his face became determined. “Stay.” He said simply, most of the adults in the room shivered at the silken beauty of the voice that said that one word, and looked at him surprised. Lucius nodded and looking Kingsley in the eye confirmed the boy’s decision.
Cornelius spoke up here in protest. “Surely you can’t mean that, the boy has been through too much already, why; your wife tried to kill him just this morning!”
Lucius looked at the adults in the room and then did something out of character; he refused to look at them while he spoke. “I don’t have as much of a choice as you seem to think I do; he is a full lord in his own right. He is technically emancipated I am only here to basically guide him. He holds a seat on the board of governors, the House of Lords and the wizengamut. I am his guardian; not his legal guardian.”
All of the adults gaped at Lucius and then turned their gazes to Eiri. He nodded at them. “I have been trained to my position since birth. And I think that if I could survive what he is about to describe then I also have the right to hear him describe it to people I don’t know. I need to know what he says, so that I know how much more needs to be told.” The minister and the Aurors looked lost as to how to handle this; apparently a ten year old who was of equal standing to the highest ranked adult here was quite disturbing to them. Snape however gave the boy an appraising glance; the boy’s voice was too beautiful, Lucius was protecting him and giving in to his decisions. There was much more to the boy than appeared at first glance. He made a note to see what Albus knew about him later and turned his attention back to the proceedings, he didn’t miss much, just the removal of the spell.
Peter quickly told the tale of setting up the half incubus family for death and then told them that the reason was that the family had refused his lord aid in his current form and because of it had died. When asked what he did to Eiri’s parents he said that he stunned the father and killed the mother. Then Kingsley asked the big question on the adults mind. “what did you do to the nine year old boy that you captured on that raid?” the rat’s face transformed into the slimiest most disgusting lust filled expression they could have imagined on that chubby face.
“ I watched as a muggle that I had under Imperio whipped him until his back was covered with blood, then I walked to the front of him and stared into his eyes for a while… you see how beautiful they are now; but that is nothing to how he looked right then. He was innocent; you could see it mingled with the pain in those eyes. He was already naked from the torture so I ran my hand along his spine to gather his blood, and he arched his body into me to escape my touch. I used his blood as lubrication and raped him.” He waxed poetic for a few minutes about how tight the boy had been how his screams had sounded and how beautiful he was when he lost his virginity.
He didn’t notice the expressions of horror and disgust on the faces of every person present who stared at the little boy curled up between Sirius and Lucius, hiding his face from the room. From there the rat eventually moved on, several times breaking into what was obviously cherished moments of raping the boy, but also describing torture of muggle varieties, breaking multiple bones in the boy and then feeding him skele-grow, and then more muggle tortures while the potion did its job healing the bones. He spent over 4 hours describing the worst that any human could do to another; and obviously felt relish that he had done it to a nine year old boy who had never harmed a being. At some point even Snape could no longer listen to this while hiding his nausea and summoned to him the bucket that all the others had at some point during this confession used to vomit in and allowed his stomach contents to join theirs. A little after this they heard a small whimper from the couch and the attention of all the adults swung from the monster in the chair to the small boy who was curled up so tight that they weren’t sure how he was breathing.
He was rocking back and forth and his eyes were glassy, but he made no more sounds; unfortunately he had drawn the attention of Wormtail, whose back had been towards him until that point. When his straining gaze finally caught sight of the small boy he leered at him in a manner that made rage flair in the faces of the other adults. However his greatest mistake was telling the broken boy what he would do the next time he had him in his clutches, he told the boy that he was delicious and belonged only to him.
Now that was bad but not his mistake, no his next line was the mistake. “Perhaps next time I will have your brother join us in our little games…” here he was forced to stop because Cornelius, the most pathetic minister that England had ever had lost his temper and knocked the man out… with his fist.
Every being in that room looked shocked, including Cornelius. With an expression of fury on his face, trying to play down what he had done he went behind his desk and pulled out a paper and quickly filled it out. Turning to the others he stated. “We need the Aurors to sign the lines stating that the Dementors kiss is the only suitable punishment for what this man did, and we need Mr. Black and lord Malfoy to sign as witnesses to Pettigrew’s confession. We need to have Eiri there sign out as the complainant so that this will be all aboveboard. We also need Mr. Snape to sign as the potion master that the Veritaserum worked as it was supposed to and that there was no flaw in its performance.”
The others all agreed save for Eiri who was still on the couch; after a bit of coaxing from both Lucius and Sirius he finally got up and signed; but immediately afterwards he ran back to the couch and grabbed on to the people on either side of him, dragging them together until he could sit across both their laps and curled into them, quickly falling into a deep sleep. The others watched this and marveled that he had gotten through this as well as he had. Even Moody found a sliver of respect for the child who had survived all that was described and turned out as well as he had.
When they were finished the Aurors were sent with the prisoner to Azkaban and saw to the kiss immediately; the junior Aurors would tell stories for years about the insane laughter that both of them gave off when Peter received the kiss.
Lucius looked at Snape and asked “Severus? Could you drop by the manor in a few hours and bring a few calming potions? Even if Eiri manages to control himself, which he normally does, his brother and Draco will not take this well at all. We have already had a few scares where he is concerned.” Severus looked at the boy and agreed. Lucius smiled at his old friend wanly and tried to get up with Eiri, that didn’t work out so well, he was clinging tightly to Sirius Black.
He turned to the man who was looking at Eiri with a look of sadness and compassion and made a quick decision. “Mr. Black, since it seems that Eiri trusts you; will you join us at the manor? We would be glad to provide you a room until your house can be re-opened, and you might be able to offer him some comfort.” Sirius just nodded silently, still looking at the boy. With some help they all got out of there to the floo hall. Severus went to Hogwarts to get the potions that were requested and tell Albus where he would be for the night. And the others returned to Malfoy Manor.
