Chapter 10

It was just after noon when the wizard and gentle Queen arrived back at Cair Paravel. They walked into the throne room laughing at a story Susan had told of one of her adventures in Narnia. They were interrupted when Peter came running into the room.

"There the two of you are!"

"Hello to you too" Susan snapped, clearly not enjoying her fun being destroyed and turned into something important.

Peter brushed her comment off. "We caught someone trying to get into the castle. He was making lights flash from his stick thingy."

"Where is he?" Harry didn't bother to correct the reference to the spells and wand.

"The dungeons follow me."

Harry gave a sad smile to Susan before he followed the High King. He heard footsteps behind him, and Susan appeared at his side, clearly going to go with him. Peter led them through the corridors and down the stone steps into the cold dungeons. When they reached the bottom Harry recognised the Death Eater locked in the cell instantly. There looked to still be an arrow sticking out of his right shoulder, a light trickle of blood rolling down his arm from beneath the bloody robes.

"Lucius Malfoy, what a pleasure to see you again." Harry's voice was dripping with sarcasm. Harry had enjoyed killing this Death Eater the first time. Still mourning from the death of Casey he had captured and tortured the Death Eater for days with normal muggle torture devices.

"Potter!" was the snarled reply, although there was a slight shakiness to it. Apparently he remembered.

Harry looked, Peter and Susan, and gave them a quick wink, before he grinned at the Death Eater. "It's actually King Harry, the sorcerer; allow me to introduce my friends. High King Peter the magnificent" He motioned to Peter "Queen Susan the gentle." He motioned to Susan.

Malfoy said nothing, just sneered at Harry and his companions.

"Now, now, it is only polite that you bow and greet your King and Queen." Harry's wand appeared in his hand as he spoke, expecting what was going to happen next.

"Never" Malfoy said with defiance, as he spat at Harry. His aim was partially true as it landed on one of Harry's boots.

"I said BOW!" Harry waved his wand forcing Lucius into a bow, before he waved his wand over his boots to clean them. "Much better, now what brings you to Narnia and Cair Paravel?"

"My Lord will kill you Potter, and all your friends."

Harry turned to Peter. "High King Peter, you're not planning on killing me any time soon are you?"

"Not that I am aware of King Harry." Peter got in on that act.

"See" Harry turned back to Malfoy cheerfully "Your Lord doesn't plan to kill me."

Malfoy said nothing.

"Now I ask you again, what are you doing here?"

Malfoy again said nothing, just continued to sneer. Harry sighed they never made things easy it always had to be done the hard way. He turned to Peter and Susan. He cast a privacy spell over them so that they could speak freely.

"King Harry the sorcerer?" Peter asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Hey it seemed like a good idea at the time." Harry looked back to Malfoy before he returned his attention to the King and Queen. "You might want to leave; this is going to get ugly. I need to get into his mind so I can read his thoughts and get the information we need, but he has strong defences and the only way for me to break them is I am going to have to torture him a bit to weaken his mind."

"I have killed many people, and see a lot of death and pain on the battlefield, I will be fine." Peter said with Susan nodding beside him.

"Ok. Just remember this isn't the normal me doing this."

Harry dropped the privacy charm and walked back to the cell.

"Now we have a couple of options. You can tell me what I want to know, you can lower your shields and I will take it from your mind or we can do it this way Crucio!" Harry finished off with a snarl full of hatred, the playful voice disappeared.

Malfoy collapsed and couldn't hold the scream in. Harry released the curse after a few seconds.

"You know, one of the good things about Narnia, is there is no one here to tell me off for using an Unforgivable Curse." Harry's playful voice had returned as he twirled his wand between his fingers; his face was void of any emotion. "Now what will it be, cooperation or pain."

"You wouldn't dare. You don't have the guts." Malfoy was breathing slightly harder then normal.

"I don't have the guts do I?" Harry's voice had dropped into a growl "CRUCIO!" Harry's voice changed from a growl to a loud shout.

He held the curse for nearly a minute before he released it. Malfoy was lying on his stomach, covered in sweat and breathing in gasps.

"Still believe I don't have the guts? Now are we going to keep going, or are you going to talk?"

"Casting one Crucio doesn't mean you have guts. You will never break me Potter, you are too weak. My master will squash you like the bug you are."

Fury, anger, and rage flashed though Harry's body. His famous emerald green eyes flashed red for a few seconds. The faded scar on his forehead leaked a little blood.

"Very well then ACERBUS ANIMUS!"

Black fog floated out of Harry's wand and settled around Malfoy's head. It wasn't long before Malfoy was shaking and moaning.

"Nice isn't it?" Harry's voice dropped to a whisper as he wiped the blood off his forehead "My wife found this one. It makes you relive everything evil you have ever done. Like a dementor it feeds on your happiness, draining it from you. But unlike a dementor, it won't let you loose your mind. You could be under the spell for a year and when you come off it you will still be sane." Harry's voice regained its anger; his face showed nothing but fury, and a blinding white glow formed around him. "A common no good muggle found the spell that is causing you so much pain. The muggle was my wife, who was carrying my child, WHO YOU KILLED!"

Harry's eyes began to glow green as the anger took over. He waved his wand and released the spell.

"CRUCIO!"

All his hate, anger, and pain were poured into the spell. Malfoy was screaming louder and harder then Harry though was possible. After thirty seconds Harry released the spell breathing hard. His eyes returned to their normal green, the white light disappeared and his face returned to neutral.

"LEGILIMENS!" Harry snarled entering the Death Eaters mind.

Peter had never seen anything like it, so much pain caused by just one word. The hate in Harry's voice every time he did it, the pure want and need for that pain to be caused was evident. Peter could feel the emotions pouring off Harry when he revealed who had killed his family. They were so thick that Peter thought he was going to suffocate on them. If he didn't know Harry like he did, he would have pulled his sword and killed him on the spot. He would have been a very powerful enemy.

He looked across to his sister, she was standing straight up as still as a board, her eyes were wide in shock and she had a slight green tinge on her skin. He was glad that Lucy was no where in the area; she would have been having nightmares for months.

Susan was in shock. She never expected the free easy going man she was unaware she falling in love will to have such a terrible angry side. She had never seen someone with so much anger before, but when he revealed why she thought she probably would have felt the same. Then there was the power. It just radiated off him in waves. Mixed with the emotions he was feeling it was toxic, and made her feel sick.

The Gentle side of her was wishing that she hadn't stayed to see what had just taken place, but the other side of her was glad she did, she knew he was going to need some support after this. When he finally closed his eyes and dropped his hand she moved towards him quickly and wrapped him in a hug.

It was such a pity that this ruined the wonderful day they had spent together.

Harry pulled out of the unconscious Death Eaters mind; he waved his wand over the cell pulling up some wards to keep the Death Eater from escaping. He closed his eyes and let his arm drop to his side. He took a few deep breaths trying to regain control of his emotions. He felt some warm gentle arms wrap around him, before he felt a wave of nausea sweep over him. He fell to his knees and revealed to everyone what he had eaten in his previous meal. Using dark magic always made him feel sick. He hated the feel of the magic; it felt like it would eat away at his soul. Ginny had told him that this feeling proved that he was a light wizard and that dark magic would have serious issues trying to corrupt him. It didn't mean that it couldn't corrupt him, but it made it harder to. It was rare that he ever used the magic.

"You ok?" Susan said softly.

"Yeah, my body doesn't react well to the use of dark magic."

"Dark magic makes you sick?"

"I'm a light wizard, a very powerful one. Because of a prophecy my magic is tuned to light magic. I can perform dark magic but it takes a lot of effort, and always makes me sick afterwards. The magic of the prophecy makes sure that I can never become a dark wizard."

"Prophecy?" Susan was curious.

"Perhaps another time" Harry wasn't willing to talk about that side of things just yet. He turned to Peter "Gather the others; they are going to want to hear this too."

Harry sat seated at the large table in the dinning hall slowly drinking water from the diamond glass goblet. It had been over an hour since his interrogation of Malfoy but he was still feeling ill. Susan hadn't left his side the entire time and was sitting in the chair next to him holding his hand. He thought she would have been terrified by what she had seen him do, but she didn't seem too worried about it. Harry was glad for that. Harry looked up at the other people sitting around the table. Edmund, Peter and Lucy were sitting across from him, Caspian was the only one standing, and was a bit further to their left. He was looking at Harry with narrowed eyes and would look to where Susan had her hand wrapped around his. Harry wasn't sure what his problem was, but decided not to worry about it for now.

"What did you find?" Peter broke the silence.

Harry took a breath before his started.

"I know why they are here; I also have a rough idea off how strong they are, and the size of their army's. Attack plans I don't have, as they seem to be keeping that to themselves for now. For fear of spy's I would guess."

"Ok, so how did they get here?" Edmund asked.

"I have read about it before. It is called 'The Balance'"

"The what?" Peter interrupted.

"The Balance, it is the balance between light and dark, good and evil."

"That makes no sense." Caspian sounded annoyed.

"Yes, I haven't explained it yet." Harry snapped, although he didn't know why, it was probably something to do with the looks Caspian had been giving him. He never noticed Lucy trying to hide a smile.

"This may sound strange but, good and evil are forces that exist in every world. Before now evil didn't exist in this world. They don't necessarily have to be at war with each other, but because they need each other to balance. War just seems to be the common theme. A world with no evil cannot exist because how do we know what good is if we have nothing to compare it against? If there is no good how do we know what evil is? Good and evil are also in balance in the heart of man. A man can never be one or the other, both must exist in heart and mind." Harry took a breath and looked around the table, there were some rather confused looks "The White Witch may appear completely evil, but she could not exist if there wasn't at least some good in her heart. She has let the evil over power the good. I am a good wizard, but I do have some evil in me. My thirst for revenge and my thirst to kill my enemies are examples of it. The Talking Lion" Harry grinned at the shocked faces "made a mistake when he created this world, he didn't include evil. He made the world so that it would only be good. The deep magic has sensed this imbalance and is trying to correct it."

"That makes no sense at all." Susan commented from beside him "it certainly isn't logical."

"How many times have you used that phrase and been proven wrong?" Lucy asked smiling at Susan. Susan mumbled something under her breath that Harry didn't quite catch.

"I wouldn't expect it to. It's a hard topic to explain. In the process of the deep magic trying to balance it brought our foes back to life. It was my arrival that Narnia that started it. The power of the light I carry was enough to set the deep magic off. Why they brought the foes of each of us, I do not know."

"So it's your fault then?" Caspian snapped.

The original King's and Queen's eyes widened at Caspian's accusation. Peter was about to respond before Harry cut in.

"No it is not my fault. It was bound to happen anyway; I just set it off sooner. You are lucky to have me here fighting by your side. Without me you wouldn't have even known this was happening and you would have been defeated in one attack."

"So if we kill you do we restore the balance and not have to fight?" Caspian growled, clearly not listening to Harry.

"CASPIAN!" Peter shouted, but both Harry and Caspian ignored him.

"Excuse me?" Harry said quietly, emotion washing away from his face.

Peter and Susan paled, they had seen what happened the last time he spoke and looked like that.

"You heard what I said." There was the sound of a sword being drawn. Caspian was now pointing his sword at Harry. "You were oh so happy to die yesterday, so why not now? You are weak and pathetic."

The temperature in the room rose as Harry stood at full height, his eyes burning with anger.

"You know nothing about me" He snarled "I grew up a slave where if I even breathed the wrong way I was punished, I lived in a world we people loved me one day, hated me the next. I have seen loved ones die in front of my eyes, my wife and child were murdered and died in my arms, and I have had my friends betray me. Tell me Caspian was your life like that?" Harry didn't wait for an answer "STUPEFY!" Harry's voice rang out, his wand in his hand, his eyes burning with fire.

A bright red, almost white, light slammed into Caspian and sent him flying backwards into the wall a good ten meters away.

"I might have over powered it." Harry admitted, although he wasn't very apologetic.

The temperature returned to normal as Harry took a few deep breaths to calm down. He walked over and gave the fallen prince a few hard kicks with his foot to see if he was out cold.

"I'm not surprised. What did you do?" Edmund mumbled.

"Just stunned him, he will be out for a few hours."

Harry saw Peter open his mouth and about to speak. He cut him off before he could start by raising his hand up.

"It's ok, I've had worse. He has been like this to me the whole time I have been here, and I have no idea why."

Lucy let out a little giggle and everyone's attention snapped to her. The giggle was totally out of place for the situation.

"Sorry." She whispered as her face turned a faint red when she noticed everyone was looking at her. She locked eyes with Harry, "you were saying?" Lucy tried to get the situation back on topic.

"Wait? What?" Harry's mind was way off track.

"The Balance, powers." Lucy rolled her eyes at him.

"Oh yeah. We've covered balance, as for their powers. Their army's are huge. White Witch has a new wand and can still turn people to stone. Miraz hasn't got any special powers. Voldemort, you don't need to worry about him, I will deal with him." Harry voice left no room for arguments "He has got some magic that I have never seen before. I killed him with a bit of luck, we are equal in power, but he has the experience. With the type of magic he is wielding, I'm in big trouble."

"What type of magic?" Susan looked slightly scared, Harry wasn't sure if it was for the magic or for him.

Harry's head dropped "The wards for example, I have never come up against wards as strong as those. They are hiding a huge area which I thought was impossible. The reason for the big army's is he is raising them from the dead. He isn't using a wand to perform magic, it's all wandless. I can do some basic wandless magic, but not powerful spells. The advantage that I had of our wands not working against each other is now gone." He raised his head, "its going to take a lot more then luck this time."

Harry then turned and left the room, this one was going to take some thinking.

A/N: Another new chapter, slightly longer now. In fact I think it is the longest I have written. I hope the balance explanation made a little sense; it took a lot of time to work it out.

In my notes I had it planned for the story to finish quickly, but now that the ideas are flowing again I am going to extend it out. There is still more Harry/Susan romance to get done, hopefully a bit in the next chapter, but I will try and keep pure fluff to a minimum, and no 'I Love You' just coming out of the blue.

Thanks for all the reviews, I appreciate them.

Cheers…PK
