Chapter 37 - 37

Harry placed Jet on top of Dobby and the snake wrapped his body around Dobby's neck, but he didn't squeeze. Not yet anyway.

"Dobby, if you try anything then Jet is going to get to get to experience what a house elf tastes like. Understand?" Harry asked before he paused and frowned. "Actually, I would rather not risk it." Harry said before he aimed his wand at Dobby and stunned him.

"Do I still get to eat it?" Jet asked hopefully.

"No, we don't know where it has been." Harry said before he he took Lucius's wand and threw it away so it landed in a corner of the room. Harry inspected Lucius for any extra wands, once he was sure there was none Harry aimed his own wand at Lucius and partially removed the body bind, just enough for everything from the neck up to be able to move.

"Potter!" Lucius growled as he bent his neck forward so he could look at Harry. "How dare you attack me?! You filthy little mud..."

"Oh shut up," Harry said as he cut Lucius off with a stinging hex to the nose which was even worse since Lucius couldn't rub it to reduce the pain. "first of all, stop it with the racial slurs. It is 1992, get woke. Second of all I am not a 'mudblood', I am a halfblood, do your research. The correct term is also muggleborn by the way," Harry said as he shot off another stinging hex, this one connecting in-between Lucius's legs, causing to gasp out as his face twisted in pain. "Now, are you willing to listen?" Harry calmly asked as he twirled his wand in his hand.

"There is nothing you can say that I want to hear." Lucius said as he glared at Harry.

"Let me rephrase that," Harry said as he lowered himself and rested his right knee on top of Lucius, Harry used his free hand and punched Lucius in the face. "you will listen." Harry said in a calm voice.

"You don't scare me, Potter." Lucius snarled. "You're just a child."

"An unstable child who just went into Slytherin's secret chamber, killed his monster and lived to tell the tale." Harry reminded him before he let out a dramatic sigh. "But if you still need further proof then I will oblige, I wanted to practice my bone breaker curse anyway." Harry said as he placed the tip of his wand against where he knew Lucius's ribs were. "Funnily enough nobody wants to volunteer to help me with this one."

"You...you wouldn't." Lucius said, his eyes slightly widened.

"That sounded like a dare." Harry smirked before he hit Lucius with a bone breaker, Lucius cried out in pain but Harry continued talking as if he didn't notice. "Now, do I have your attention?"

"Fuck you!" Malfoy spat.

"No, we've already had the one creepy pervert this year, we're not having another." Harry said before he struck Lucius right were the broken rib was, causing Lucius to cry out in pain once again. "Now, do I have your attention?" Harry calmly asked, Lucius glared at Harry but didn't say anything. "Now, I will take that as a yes, now I am in a rather bad mood, Lucius. Do you know why I am in a bad mood, Lucius? I will tell you why I am in a bad mood, Lucius, it's because I just recently went into Slytherin's secret chamber, killed his monster and fought off the git that claimed to be his heir. And I had to fight him because of you."

"You have no proof!" Lucius hissed.

"Of course I don't." Harry smiled, causing Lucius to blink in surprise. "If I did then I wouldn't be wasting my time with you, would I? No, I would have taken that proof straight to somebody who would do something about it. I can get in contact with Mad-Eye Moody, you know that? I can get in contact with the aurors, a boy with my fame could probably get in contact with the head of law enforcement. But that's not what I want to talk to you about, not now at least. No I want to talk to you about the heir.

Do you know who he was? Let me tell you." Harry said before he wrote 'Tom Marvolo Riddle' in flaming letters in the air, Harry waved his wand and the letter's changed to form 'I am Lord Voldemort'. Harry looked down at Lucius who was staring with wide eyes at him. "Ah, so the name does sound familiar to you. You see, somehow he was able to store a younger version of himself in his diary, very interesting magic but not what I want to focus on...for now at least. Why did you give the diary to Roman? Now, that is an interesting question."

"What makes you think I did it?" Lucius demanded.

"You mean besides the obvious like how you used the chance to get Dumbledore out of the school?" Harry asked, he was tempted to point out that he worked it out thanks to Dobby but refrained from doing so for the moment. "I'm not sure why you did it, though I can probably work out a few different reasons why, it's simply just a matter of which reason you chose. Maybe you hate Roman because of his parents, maybe he was a great choice for a victim, maybe it's the fact that getting rid of him makes you one step closer to getting your hands on the Black fortune."

Harry knew that Roman was indeed a contender for the Black fortune, the only three remaining females born into the Black family were Andromeda and her sister's Bellatrix and Narcissa. Now it was widely believed in the wizarding world that Andromeda was kicked out of the Black family, Andromeda even supported that belief if only to make things simpler for her family and even believed it for a while. But the truth is that Arcturus is the head of the Black family, despite what anyone might believe, meaning he was the one in charge of deciding who was in the family or not. So Andromeda and therefore Tonks was in the family, not that Lucius knew that.

Lucius was likely operating under the assumption that the only two people who could produce heirs for the family were Bellatrix and Narcissa seeing as Sirius was still in prison. Narcissa, being Lucius's wife and the mother of Draco, gave Lucius the opportunity to have his son be 'Heir Black' and then 'Lord Black', which meant that Lucius had a chance to add the Black fortune to his already impressive fortune. Bellatrix was older than Narcissa, who was the youngest of the three sisters, and due to Bellatrix's marriage to the Lestrange family it was possible for Roman to be considered for the position, unlikely but possible, something which Lucius didn't like.

Or it could have simply just been because nobody really liked Roman so nobody would make too big of a fuss if he ended up dead or was accused of being the heir.

"I don't have to answer to you, Potter!" Malfoy said angrily.

"You don't want to talk?" Harry hummed as he stood up, making sure to casually stomp on Lucius's ribs as he did so.

"Argh! You won't get away with this!" Lucius growled. "I will tell everyone!"

"You want to tell everyone that you got beat by a twelve year old?" Harry chuckled. "And you want to make this claim right after I save the school? Go ahead, and even if you do tell everyone, do you think I haven't already planned for the possibility?"

"I hate you!" Lucius fumed, knowing that Potter was right. If he accused Potter of attacking him then he'd be a laughing stock, his name would be associated with getting beat up by a twelve year old.

"Besides, you want to make accusations, I can do the same with you and this Slytherin monster bullshit."

"You have no proof!"

"I don't need proof." Harry laughed as if there was a simple joke that Lucius didn't understand. "You're so simple, Lucius. I don't need proof when my mere name attracts the public like moths to flames. Now, I've got at least ninety percent of the school wishing to make amends and/or gain my favour. I wonder how well that will translate over to their parents? It would just take me a few words, Lucius, to have a great amount of people looking in your direction.

Think about it, you were accused of being a death eater years ago. Now imagine what would happen if Harry Potter, the boy-who-lived and savior of Hogwarts, claimed that you were the one responsible for releasing Slytherin's monster. I might not be able to nail you with something but do not for a moment think that I can't make your life difficult." Harry said in a low and threatening voice.

Lucius stared into the cold green eyes of Harry Potter and he could not help but be reminded of another, he could not help but be reminded of the dark lord. He, much like Potter was doing now, could command silence and respect through power and mere words.

"Tell me, did you even know what the diary would do?" Harry asked suddenly, Lucius blinked in surprise, not entirely sure what Harry was talking about. "It unleashed Slytherin's monster, do you know what that monster was?"

"I'm sure that you will enlighten me." Lucius said through gritted teeth.

"Oh, I will. But first..." Harry paused and punched Lucius in the face. "that's for being a smartass." Harry smirked briefly before he continued. "Slytherin's monster was a basilisk." Harry calmly stated, Lucius paled drastically at that. "It bit me."

"That's impossible! You couldn't survive that!"

"Ah, I see you know what they are." Harry said before he rolled up his sleeve to show Lucius the scar. Lucius looked at Harry like he wasn't human, if the boy could survive killing curses and basilisk bites then what could kill him? Harry pulled his sleeve back before he continued speaking. "That's good, saves me an explanation. Now, Lucius, imagine something for me. A young little Voldemort going around, happily possessing whoever he likes, he sets his basilisk on all the muggleborn and halfbloods. It's a blast, everyone's having a good time. But then...one night, the basilisk is out, Slithering around the school. It spots two people, one of which is a muggleborn according to Voldemort. It goes after the muggleborn, but unfortunately young Draco is in the general area, he takes one glance in the wrong direction and the next thing we know his father in paying for a funeral. Plenty of people of various different blood types could have died, your son could have died, Lucius. And your wife is a Black, I wonder what she would say or do if she found out that you could have her son killed."

Harry looked at Lucius who was somehow able to become even more pale, Harry was actually rather amazed by how pale the man was becoming.

"You're going to make up for this, Lucius." Harry said, and it wasn't a question.

"What?"

"I am the last of the Potter's and I am a grandson of a Black, that's two families you do not fuck with, Lucius. And because of you I nearly died today, because of you I had to face off against a basilisk. One way or another, you are going to pay. I would kill you but I am friends with your son and that is a lot of effort. Flipsy." Harry called, a second later the elf popped in and looked at Harry, waiting for orders. "Go and get me a quill and one of those Gringotts money transfer forms." Harry ordered, Flipsy nodded and popped away.

"What?!" Lucius blurted out just before Flipsy reappeared a few seconds later.

"Here it be, Master." Flipsy said as he handed Harry the form, ignoring Lucius and Dobby as if it was a common sight to see a stunned house elf and helpless man in a room with his master.

"Thank you, now slap Lucius twice on the face then spit on him and go." Harry ordered. Flipsy nodded before walking over to Lucius.

"Elf! Don't you dare..." Lucius was interrupted by a dope slap across one cheek and a backhand across the other cheek. Lucius was about to give the elf a piece of his mind but he unfortunately opened his mouth at the same time as when Flipsy chose to spit on him. Lucius began coughing violently when the spit went into his mouth just before Flipsy popped away.

"Don't worry, I got you!" Harry said dramatically before he aimed his wand at Lucius and cast a spell that created the affect of washing your mouth out with soap, Lucius began coughing out soap bubbles. "Now, Lucius...I...I..." Harry couldn't stop the laugh that followed, not that he tried to hard. "I'm sorry but in your mouth?! I didn't even plan that." Harry chuckled.

"Screw you!" Lucius shouted before he began coughing up more bubbles.

"Such appalling behavior," Harry tutted before he hit Lucius between the eyes with a stinging hex. "now Lucius, you're going to have to suffer for what you have done. I want two things from you, the first is that you 'donate' half of your fortune to me." Harry smiled as if he gave Lucius a brilliant and genius idea.

"What?!" Lucius demanded as he looked at Harry with disbelief. "Why on Earth would I do that?!"

"Oh, I can think of a few reason, here's one." Harry grinned before he flicked his wand and summoned a king cobra, Harry hissed at it. The cobra nodded before before it slithered towards Lucius's legs, Harry made sure he was out of the way so Lucius could see exactly what was happening. The cobra slithered up Lucius's trouser leg.

"No! No!" Lucius cried out as the snake disappeared from view before he could feel it climbing up his leg. He could feel the snakes head stopping somewhere where he -or any other man - doesn't want a snakes head near. Harry hissed again and the snake stopped moving. "You...you won't get away with this!" Lucius cried out fearfully. "I...I will tell people!"

"Of course you will tell people, providing you survive long enough," Harry nodded as if it was obvious. "but who is to say I haven't planned for that? Plus, even if you do tell someone and even if things go wrong for me, I want to point out that I won't be the one with holes in my balls and/or gentlemen's sausage. By the way, did you know a single drop of venom from a king cobra can kill an elephant? I mean, it's not like getting bit in the arm by a basilisk..." Harry paused and punched Lucius in the face then the ribs. "...thanks for that by the way." Harry said before he continued speaking. "Now, I'm going to ask you a question that should be pretty easily answered, providing you are actually a man and not an ugly woman. Now, your money or your balls?" Harry calmly asked.

Lucius gulped as he looked at Harry, the dark lord had never threatened his manhood before, not that he ever needed to do so when a simple torture curse would do. But as Lucius looked into the eyes of Harry Potter, he could not help but realize that he really was not sure if Potter would follow through on his threat or not.

"I...I will give you my money." Lucius said, he would have glared at Harry if he wasn't too busy sweating over the fact that there was a snake's head near his Malfoy maker.

"Good," Harry said before he without warning plopped down on to Lucius's stomach, causing the man let out a grunt which unintentionally caused the snake head to move closer to the one place Lucius definitely didn't want it to move closer to. Lucius nearly screamed when he heard the snake hiss but it quickly became quiet once Potter hissed back at it. A painstakingly slow minute later Harry had finished the form, and stood up before he aimed his wand at Lucius's right arm. "Now, Lucius," Harry said as he dropped the form next to Lucius before placing the quill in Lucius's hand. "I am going to release your arm now, all you have to do is sign it, try anything and then then my snake friend will bite you. I might get to you first as I am a fairly fast spell shooter." Harry said before he waved his wand and Lucius's arm was released.

Lucius gave Harry a look of pure hatred before he reluctantly signed the form. Harry was tempted to point out that he had also filled out a part that would cause Lucius to give additional payments further on in the future but decided that would be a nice surprise for Lucius.

"Now, there you might remember I said that I wanted two things from you, the second is that elf." Harry said as he picked up the form before he gestured to Dobby.

"What? Why do you want that pathetic little shit?" Lucius asked.

"I don't have to explain my reasons to you, Malfoy. Now, are you going to give me the elf or not?" Harry asked as he casually took out a piece of parchment and began writing on it.

"Fine!" Malfoy said through gritted teeth.

"Lovely bubbly," Harry said just before Jet slithered off of Dobby and towards Harry who picked him up before placing him on his shoulders. Harry pointed his wand at Dobby and released him from the body bind before he revived him. Dobby groaned as he woke up, once he was sat up he suddenly remembered everything that happened before his gaze landed on Lucius and Harry who gave him a small wave. "Dobby," Harry said before he waved his wand, Lucius's glove from his free arm was pulled off of his hand, Harry picked it up and tossed it into Lucius's hand. "Lucius is going to free you now."

"I hate you!" Lucius spat angrily before he tossed the the glove at Dobby.

"Master has given Dobby a glove?" Dobby breathed. "Dobby is free!" He cheered.

"Oi, I have repaid you for the warning by freeing you, now you have an option, become my elf or go." Harry called out.

"Become the great Harry Potter's elf?!" Dobby looked like Christmas and his birthday had just come early. "Dobby accepts!" Dobby said quickly.

"Flipsy," Harry called and the elf popped back in. Harry handed Flipsy the Gringotts form and the parchment that Harry had written on. "Take these to the goblins, and take Dobby. He's my new elf."

"Yes Master." Flipsy nodded before he walked over and grabbed Dobby's arm before the two popped away.

"My elf helped you?!" Lucius seethed.

"My elf now." Harry grinned before he hissed, the king cobra crawled out of Lucius's trousers. Harry thanked it before he vanished it. "Lucius, do you know what this was? This was payback and a warning. I took your money and I've caused you pain, and I did it right in Hogwarts. You're in pain but you will be able to walk out of this room on your own two feet. The next time I won't be so gentle, remember that." Harry said before he cast a silencing spell on Lucius before he walked over to the door, once Harry was at the door he unleashed Lucius from the body bind. Lucius slowly got up. "Parting shot." Harry called before hitting Lucius with a knockback jinx that sent him onto the floor. "Don't fuck with me, Lucius." Harry said. "Even if I can't get to you, your heir is still within my reach." Harry said before he walked out of the room. "Was that good?" Harry asked Jet once they were far enough.

"Bloody excellent." Jet replied.
