(I’m thinking)
“I’m speaking”
Pairing: Yaoi M/M, Harem – top Harry x bottoms Draco / Cedric / Theo / de-aged Severus / Tom (TMR)
Last Time
Everyone was stunned for a moment, but soon followed after him. when they caught up they found Greyback out cold on the floor with nasty claw wounds on his chest and no Cedric Diggory …
XXXXXXXXXX
“GREYBACK! Quick get some potions! He’s bleeding badly!” Tom ordered and everyone either stood back and out of the way or helped.
Severus and Narcissa began healing the werewolf as Draco looked at the wounds “what did this?”
Tom sighed “Harry isn’t a common place wizard. Necromancers are dangerous”
Greg raised an eyebrow “so Harry did this? What new body did he take? I never heard of those inferi creators doing something like this”
“no … it’s nothing like that at all. Those wannabe necromancers aren’t really necromancers and calling them that is the same as sticking leaves on a flubberworm to call them wings and claiming it’s a dragon. No … Harry is far more dangerous than that” Tom said now very concerned “there hasn’t been a real Necromancer in centuries because they were foolishly considered to control the darkest most evil magic when in reality they had gray and neutral magic. Death is natural and forms a balance in nature that necromancers respected. We were listening to the language of death. Necromancers were considered dark because they could perfectly reanimate the dead using complex blood spells. Those spells don’t mess with a person’s soul, but no one in the light side cared and they labeled necromancers as dark and slapped a bounty on their heads. Necromancers didn’t help their reputation by creating the Unforgivables or inspiring them. They only created the killing curse for a painless merciful death. The other two were created by dark wizards who envied their power over flesh and it’s because of those powers the darkest creatures flocked to necromancers and formed treaties …”
“treaties?” Blaise paled as he looked at the claw marks “in exchange for walking fresh food the necromancer gets protection and … that would extend to their mates, right?”
“yeah … Cedric was being watched” Tom said and shot Draco a look “they kept a low profile to protect Harry’s plan, but stepped in the second Cedric was alone. Greyback might’ve walked in on the guard taking Cedric away”
“yeah” Greyback grumbled as he opened his eyes.
Narcissa gently pushed the werewolf down when he foolishly tried to get up “stay down we have to heal these wounds”
“where’d that thing go?” Greyback growled as his laid back down as instructed.
“depends … what did it look like?” Tom asked wanting to know what types of creatures were on Harry’s side. They can’t blindly run into another problem again. It was all too clear what would’ve happened to Draco and Theo if they actually tried to harm Cedric. Both would be dead …
Greyback clenched his teeth as the gashes healed “human like, but huge with fangs, claws and-”
“glowing gold eyes?” Draco suggested as he realized what this creature was. It was the one or like the ones that attacked him in the library.
“yeah … how did you know squirt?” Greyback said as he looked at Draco suspiciously. Blaise, Greg, Vincent and Theo backed away as the air became tense. They had a feeling Draco was in trouble. Tom was especially wary all of a sudden.
“well … you see … ummm you know how Harry said he was going make his shift permanent after the first day of exams? I went to the library that night and I guess I nearly stumbled in on something so they chased me away” Draco explained nervously though the disapproving looks from the older people there.
“Draco do you know was it was that you saw?” Tom asked slowly as if speaking to a teen who didn’t realize how dangerous sneaking out really is. Draco simply shook his head and Tom sighed “what you saw a demon. The kind that is believed to not exist and is briefly skimmed over in class. The kind that you can only learn about in old texts like the ones I obsessively researched and saved before the ministry began collecting and destroying them. The kind that eat humans and could’ve killed you. The kind you should’ve told us about so we were prepared whether you knew what it was or not!” Tom yelled in a deadly serious tone.
Draco scowled hating being treated like a child “how do we know for sure that he is a necromancer? The goblins said they used old spells to reveal necromancy spells. If he used necromancy to control his body wouldn’t it have shown up on the scan”
“fair point, but it doesn’t take much to remove then. Hell for all we know he could have removed them as he was walking into the courtroom before that insanely thorough test was done because of that foolish half giant or, since Cedric knows the language of death like Harry, Cedric could have removed them. I doubt he’s a necromancer too, but it may be possible to teach other people some spells. Either way the scan showed that body was Harry’s and only a necromancer can shift bodies like that and have demons at his beck and call” Tom said dryly.
Lucius groaned hoping his son’s temper didn’t make them a dangerous enemy “oh Draco you can act like such a Gryffindor sometimes”
Ellen frowned “what has been done can’t be changed … we have other issues to worry about like who is Harry now?”
Greg snapped his fingers ”I know who he might be!” Greg exclaimed before running off . after a minute he returned with the issue of the Quibbler, which he was holding carefully for some reason “does this have Harry’s scent on it?“ he asked the werewolf.
Greyback winced as he took the magazine and sniffed it “actually … yeah. It’s under a lot of scents, but it’s his. Does that matter?” he asked. It has been sometime since Severus gave Greyback a sample of Harry’s scent, but it was clearly his scent. The scent of the thing that attacked him was on it too …
“oh it matters” Severus scowled as he took the magazine “how did a magazine with Harry’s scent on it get on my desk?”
Theo frowned “Harry had a Quibbler with him and he was shoving Granger’s face into the article about Ryan Peverell … maybe Filch put it-” Theo paled “ummm … Filch called Harry ‘master’ so does that make him a demon?” he asked as everything clicked into place. It would why Draco claimed he saw fangs in Filch’s mouth.
Tom tilted his head to think a moment “demon’s are more like elves in the way they can transport through anything, but other than that skill they really have no detectable magic so in theory they could pass as a squib. It’s actually pretty likely”
“so if Harry is giving us a subtle hint as to who he is where should we meet him? We can’t just walk up to him in the courtroom and if we meet him when he’s alone the demons might not like it” Lucius said logically.
Blaise sighed “there are no ‘ifs’ with Harry” he said and pulled out the feather he found “he planned everything. I just realized that this feather found after running into Filch looks a lot a feather from the Weasleys’ clumsy owl. He planned that confrontation with Ginny Weasley. He exposed, humiliated and destroyed Dumbledore with two demons, a Hufflepuff and a corpse. In a strangely lazy way he did what Tom and you guys couldn’t over years even with his help!” he shot many of the others the same glare they were giving him “oh come on. You all know it’s true and we need to meet him in his own territory and on his terms”
Tom blinked, yet again he was scolded by someone younger than him “he … he’s right, but it should only be me, Draco, Theo and Severus who goes to find him”
“why me?” Severus asked though he wasn’t as annoyed as he sounded. Much to his surprise he actually liked the idea of meeting Harry knowing he planned everything. The boy earned his respect that’s for sure and maybe a little more though his heart refused to acknowledge it yet “I can understand Draco and Theo because they should apologize personally for kidnapping Cedric. You’re the leader of the dark wizards and therefore should go as a representative, but there’s no reason for me to go. I was rather harsh to Potter throughout his schooling and I never discovered his abuse either. If I go it might not go well”
“I realize that” Tom said cautiously as he considered his reasoning “he must’ve known that you cared otherwise his plan may have failed. You are the reason Sirius and Remus were taken to the ministry and the reason the Order was caught … I think you were the person he was banking on snapping and showing his true colors once the full depth of Dumbledore’s cruelty was revealed. He might want to talk to you”
Severus frowned “he was talking to Lupin when I arrived at Grimmauld. He was hinting something was going to happen so he most likely expected Lupin to stay sane and Arthur is still out there somewhere”
“maybe, maybe not. The fact is we don’t know and keep in mind he may have had several fail safes planned. After all the only thing we know for sure had to happen was Harry’s body ending up in the ministry, but really everything for Dumbledore started falling apart the second he got to Gringotts. Adding murder is just icing on a cauldron cake … as for Arthur … Filch was at the school right? I believe you told me once he stays to check for the shit the brats leave behind. When the Order was arrested there he was gone so maybe that was planned” Tom reasoned.
Lucius raised an eyebrow “why would anyone want him? Arthur Weasley is pretty pathetic compared to the others”
“hard to say … we should listen to the rest of the trial for some clues … Filch also seemed to imply Harry fancies you so worse comes to worse you’ll be our sacrifice Severus” Tom exclaimed clearly teasing.
“WHAT?” Severus yelped. He knew Tom was only kidding, but he was startled by a small voice in his mind that was telling him to do it “that’s not funny … besides he has Diggory” he said and he was yet again surprised by an unexpected feeling. Sadness, he was sad that Harry was taken and he wasn’t the only one either.
Tom scoffed ”the documents I found showed that necromancers were rare so to increase the chances of a necromancer being born it was common for them to take a lot more than one spouse. Maybe Harry, or Ryan I suppose, would agree. We’ll see, but until we find out where he lives we should watch his handy work unfold” he said and Severus, Theo and Draco were left contemplating that marriage fact. No one spotted the small smiles on Narcissa and Ellen’s lips as they looked at their sons who were putting thought into Harry than any normal person would. Neither woman thought Harry held any ill will towards them so they hoped more than a simple apology can come from this visit
After Greyback was finished healing enough to floo home the group returned to the courtroom. It was a little early so they subtly looked for Ryan. As each minute ticked by it became clear that he wasn’t coming back. Perhaps the news of Cedric’s kidnapping changed things. For now it didn’t matter and everyone focused on the court, which was starting again …
Amella retook her seat and ordered silence “as I said before the last memory will not be viewed publically, but for those wish to view but aren’t allowed I will summarize. This memory is from one Cedric Diggory and it shows what state Harry arrived in. He was already fatally injured” she said and the orb of memories was activated showing only the witches and wizards who were members of Wizengamot the grisly memory.
Severus recalled what he saw upon his arrival and wasn’t surprised to see many of the members pale in horror. It made him debate whether or not he should smack Harry for the stunt. After all he was truly heartbroken. At the time he thought Harry was dead! The only piece of his childhood friend was gone. Sure he understands, but it still hurt. For now he decided to simply set his feelings aside and be grateful Harry let him into hos secret at all. It made him wonder though … was he and his friends the only ones to be given a hint to what was really going on?
A glance down to the lower rows of seats made him wonder if Black and Lupin knew anything at all. Sirius Black looked devastated and so did his werewolf. It would make sense if Harry didn’t tell them right away to get a genuine reaction, but they gave over their memories and answered all the questions so that part is over. If their job is done were they told and they’re just good actors or is Harry truly leaving them out? Judging from their actions and expressions the two really thought Harry was dead. That or they were insanely good actors and considering neither could lie to Severus before it was unlikely. If by some miracle they managed find a potion that gave them really good acting skills then why were they clearly wasting away as they haven’t eaten in the few days since Harry ‘died’?
Amella stopped the orb and took a seat feeling a bit shaky after viewing the bloodshed “we have many memories from one Remus Lupin, Severus Snape and Sirius Black however due to the serious nature of the crimes already and the fact Arthur Weasley is still out there we will move onto questioning the suspects. All those in favor of using Veritaserum raise your hands”
Tom smirked as every single Wizengamot member raised their hand “after everything I’d be surprised if they didn’t agree” he muttered as the first person was dragged to the podium and forced to take three drops of the truth telling serum. The person was Molly Weasley …
“what is your name, age and occupation?” Amella asked the now dazed prisoner.
“I’m Molly Weasley. I’m 46 years old and I’m a mother” Molly droned in a monotone voice,
“what was your role in the crimes against one Harry Potter?” Amella asked and you could almost feel the air in the room shift as everyone instinctively leaned forward to hear every word as clearly as possible.
Molly smiled smugly despite being under Veritaserum “I had the biggest job from Albus. I was meant to be the mother Harry never had. I was good to him. He loved my cooking and I put up with his dull personality, but mainly I was responsible for giving him potions. He never noticed anything as he ate my food. It was a big job keeping him on the right path, but I had my children and husband helping”
This comment made Amella curious “what members helped you and in what capacity?”
A light scowl made its way to Molly’s lips “most of my children were uncooperative. They just didn’t understand that Harry Potter had to be on our side because we were doing what we had to do to keep the wizarding world safe. Arthur had to put each of them under ministry level potions”
“before you continue who made all these potions?” Amella asked since Severus never admitted to it under veritaserum, but they had to have someone making these complicated potions.
“Horace Slughorn” Molly answered and Dumbledore winced. Yet another clueless ally may end up going against him, but right now Molly was the biggest problem. Any second everyone will know the truth of what was labeled one of Voldemort’s most horrific acts.
Amella nodded and sent team of aurors to bring Slughorn in before continuing with he trial “now resume answering the previous question. Which of your family members were involved in the crimes against Harry Potter? Also are you aware of where your husband is or might be?”
“I don’t know where Arthur is. He disappeared when we got to Hogwarts. As for my children the only well behaved ones were my Ronny and Ginny. Ron did what he could to be a good friend to Harry. The fool was ungrateful towards my son, but Ron was very tolerant. Ginny was the best behaved. She even volunteered to seduce Harry. Sadly that fool had no taste and he had the nerve to brush my Ginny aside. It was insulting! Dumbledore gave Ginny some love potions to fix that, but I still find it horrid. Ginny was good though and tried to get a baby from Harry before we sent him to die fighting the dark lord who still walks amongst us. We would’ve made him a hero. I don’t know why he had to ruin it. All that work making all the Death Eaters attacks worse than they really were was for nothing. Arthur even brutally raped and murdered James and Lily Potter to frame the dark lord so people could see the true evil that was Voldemort” Molly said sounding insane even with the toneless voice. It was all so twisted!
Severus gripped the armrest of his seat so hard his knuckles turned white (Tom told me he only stunned Lily and had no clue how they were killed … now I know … wherever Arthur is he better be suffering)
