Chapter 11
Krista was working speedily in her kitchen. She was feeling slightly guilty that she had to send Jasmine a text to reschedule her meeting that was supposed to take place at noon for noon tomorrow. But after she had received her vision last night she knew that she needed to find a spell for dealing with Arthur, before helping Jasmine by searching the past for her.
Krista had a pretty good idea what time Mr. Weasley would be dropping by for answers. Her vision had shown her that the crashing of the wedding reception was around dusk after figuring in the eight hour time difference that made his arrival to be around 4 in the morning. So she decided to pull an all nighter, just in case her timing was off and he arrived earlier.
She knew that in order to keep too many people from knowing the truth that a Shadow Spell was needed. She had her magic formula spell book out to double check everything she needed. She was busy cutting up a pomegranate when Kaiba came in to see her.
Seto gave Krista a quick kiss. "I just finished my work in my office and I see you're still up."
"I had no choice but to pull an all nighter. Remember I told you the details of my vision and how I requested Mr. Weasley to show up here." Krista replied.
"You still could have done that without pulling an all nighter. It really isn't healthy to get no sleep." Seto scolded her in a teasing tone.
Krista snickered at Seto. Leave it to her husband to try to scold her for doing what he just did. "It took me a while to find a spell that fit every requirement I needed. I have to get this spell perfect otherwise we could have unforeseen consequences, and I didn't want to be rushing when Arthur shows up."
Kaiba looked at all the things on the kitchen counter. He noticed that in addition to the pomegranate, there was at least a dozen strawberries, a batch of dried lavender, a cup full of freshly ground coco beans, and five oysters.
Kaiba continued to stare at Krista as she starting throwing all her ingredients into the blender. As he observed his wife blending the ingredients he became baffled. Finally he asked in a teasing tone. "Imzadi, what is with the aphrodisiac smoothie?" Seto the leaned over whispering seductively in Krista right ear. "Surely you don't think I need one to get in the mood." The CEO continued his teasing by pressing his body as close to Krista's as possible in order to let her feel just what she does to him.
Krista felt her temperature raising while her body filled with lust as she felt her husband's arousal. However she knew she didn't have the time to give into her lustful urges, even though she really wanted to. "Just getting everything ready for this spell."
Kaiba continued to be dumbstruck by the smoothie. "I thought you were going to cast a mind opening spell to see the truth without using a mind crush, not a lust spell." He said.
Krista nodded her head. "I am, but this Shadow Spell requires this concoction."
"What are the side effects?" The CEO asked.
"Standard magical and physical draining for me. And uncontrollable lust if Arthur tries to relay anything seen to anyone other than myself or you. Causing the lust to overpower his senses and make him incapable of coherent thought or speech."
"I guess that explains the aphrodisiac smoothie," said the CEO. "It is a medium to a Penalty Game. I was feeling a headache coming on by trying to figure out the significance of it."
Krista snickered at her husband's antics. "You should have taken my advice, about not trying to analyze the spells in Magic Formula. It would've saved yourself the migraine."
Krista walked to the cupboard and pulled out three glasses. She quickly poured the smoothie into the glasses. She continued her efforts by placing the glasses on a tray. She finally picked up the tray and began walking out to the living room.
Kaiba followed his wife out of the kitchen and into the living room. As she was walking, he could stop himself from staring at her ass the entire walk. He had to admit to himself he loved how she always wore miniskirts. He then inwardly cursed to himself about the lack of time they had before Mr. Weasley would show up.
Kaiba continued to watch his wife as she set bent over to place the tray on the coffee table. He noticed that as she bent down, she gave him a perfect shot for looking up her skirt. The sapphire blue thong she was wearing barely covered her most intimate parts causing the CEO's heart to race.
Kaiba was certain she had flashed him on purpose and he wasn't going to let her get away with it. He grabbed her from behind. "Oh you little tease, you know we don't have time to fool around right now."
Krista looked over her shoulder and gave her husband a smirk. "It's called payback! Next time don't press your erection against me, when you know what feeling your arousal, even when it is through clothing, does to me."
Seto turned Krista around so that he could feel her breasts against his chest. "To hell with time limits!" Kaiba stated before bending down to seal Krista's lips in a passionate kiss.
Krista and Seto were thoroughly enjoying their shared passion when it ended too soon with a knock on the door. They both let out audible groans from frustration as they broke apart. "I'll get the door." Krista said.
Krista walked over to the door. When she opened it she found herself facing Arthur Weasley. "Hello, I was wondering what time you would be here. Won't you come in." She said.
Arthur enter Kaiba Manor and took one look at Krista. He noticed that her face was completely flushed. He then glanced at the CEO to notice he look flushed as well. Arthur then began to snicker as he followed Krista to the coffee table. "Oh I guess I should have called first, that way I wouldn't have interrupted you and Mr. Kaiba."
Kaiba crossed his arms over his chest. "I'm sure I don't know what you are talking about." The CEO said in an attempt to cover up the fact that he was robbed of what would have been a most orgasmic experience with his wife.
"Mr. Kaiba you may be able to pull off a straight face, but I have seven kids. I didn't get seven kids by not knowing what it looks like to be in an aroused state." Mr. Weasley stated.
Kaiba uncrossed his arms. He knew that he and Krista were busted. "I guess I should have known that."
Mr. Weasley decided he should tease his boss too much so he let the topic drop. "Mrs. Kaiba I got your text and from what I could decipher you must have foreseen the crashing of Bill's wedding reception."
Kaiba smirked as he was hit with a brilliant idea. Even though he trusted the spell that Krista would be casting, he felt that an extra incentive was an order. "She did but before we continue this conversation, I would like to inform you that everything said in this room falls under KC business and if you tell anyone about our discussion you will fall victim to the curse in your employee contract."
Arthur nodded his head. "I figured that, but I need answers."
"I know that is why you will get them, but only if you are willing to take the risks." Krista stated.
"What do you mean?" Arthur asked.
"I know that Dumbledore told you and the Order that I am a sorceress who wields magic different from wizarding magic and I will be using my Shadow Magic to get you the answers you seek." Krista replied.
"He said you wield dark magic he never said anything about..what did you call it...Shadow Magic." Arthur said in a tone that told Krista it was more of a statement than a question.
"Shadow Magic is dark by most definitions in the wizarding world. And the spell I will cast to get you the answers you seek is considered dark, since it requires blood donations added to the drinks I have set out." Krista explained.
Arthur felt himself becoming overly nervous at the prospect of Krista's spell. "You are right spells that require blood are dark spells."
Krista noticing the tone of discomfort coming from Arthur stated. "You don't have to do this, you are free to leave now but if you want the truth you must allow this spell to take place."
"How do I know I'll get truthful answers to all my questions?" Mr. Weasley asked.
"Because that is the way the spell is designed. The spell will start by us drinking and then I cast an incantation the blood in the drink is used as a sort of DNA marker causing those whose blood was in it to speak only the truth. It also works with my gift premonitions to allow you to witness the truth. There is a side effect if you attempt to speak about anything you see or discover to anyone you will be rendered incoherent of thought or speech permanently." Krista replied.
Arthur shivered at the thought of the side effects as his anxiety increased. "Why not just use Veritaserum?" Arthur asked while inwardly hoping that Krista would take the hint that he would be more comfortable with a truth potion than her spell.
Krista had expected the elder Weasley to be timid about a Shadow Spell and it seemed that her intuitions were just verified. She knew in order to give him the answers he desired she would have to chose her next words carefully. "I can't use Veritaserum for several reasons actually. The first is I texted you after I had my premonition of Shacklebolt announcing the death of the minister followed by the chaos of the Death Eaters showing up. I didn't have time to brew any since it takes a month to brew, and I don't have any in stock. I also believe that for you literally seeing the truth will make you believe the truth. If you hear the truth spoken you may not believe it. So I searched my spell book until I found a spell to show you the truth as well as everyone speaks the truth." Krista explained.
Arthur remained quit for several minutes as he thought over Krista's last statement. Something she had said sparked his curiosity so he asked. "When you say premonition you are referring to actually seeing visions of events before they come to past not with the use of tea leaves or crystal balls aren't you?"
Krista smirked. She was pleased that he picked up on that. "Yes I am, I see both the past and the future. I also can share my site allowing other to see it too."
Arthur's eyes widen when he realized just what that meant. "That is how Harry saw You-Know-Who's snake attack me, you showed him."
Krista smiled and nodded her head. "Yes I saw it first then showed it to Harry. I didn't want Dumbledore made aware of my gift of site so Harry volunteered to relay the vision stating he saw it through Nagini's eyes."
"Thank you for helping to save my life." Arthur said.
"You're welcome." Krista replied.
"So what is it going to be Mr. Weasley? Are you going to allow my wife to cast the spell or are you going to leave?" Kaiba asked.
Arthur thought hard before responding. He knew that since Krista had a hand in saving his life that as long as he didn't divulge any information no harm would come to him. Even though he was still hesitant about the use of a dark spell, his desire to have answers was greater than his fear. "I want to do this spell, I need to know the truth about so many things."
"I'll forewarn you now once this spell starts it won't stop until you have seen everything you need to see. This spell will look into your very soul to give you answers to the questions you seek it will even look at your subconscious to give you answers to questions you didn't even know you had. It will most likely even show you things that contradict what you currently believe to be true." Krista explained.
Mr. Weasley nodded his head. "I understand."
"You should also know that the truth can hurt, it can be disillusioning, and at the same time enlightening. And you may not like what you see, but you will have to continue this vision quest. Even if you start to get angry, frustrated and feel like your perceptions of what was real has been turned upside down. Because the spell will not end, until every burning question in your soul has been answered and your mind has fully been opened to see the truth. Are you willing to do that?" Krista asked in which Arthur only nodded his head in response.
"Okay then we shall begin," said Krista. "Seto and I will be seeing the visions with you and will act as guides if you have any questions you may ask and you will be given honest answers."
Krista reached into her cocktail purse pulling out three sugar testers. Handing one to Arthur, Seto and taking one for herself. Mr. Weasley looked at the item now in his hand. "Are these some kind of muggle contraptions?" Mr. Weasley asked unable to hide the excitement in his voice.
"They are used in the real world to draw blood painlessly." Krista stated while demonstrating how to use the tester to prick a finger.
"Fascinating, I thought for a moment we would need to use a knife to get blood." Arthur said while pricking his own finger.
"Most shadow spells require blood, and we think this is a much less barbaric way to do it." The young CEO added while pricking his own finger.
"Can I keep mine? It'll go great with my other muggle collections." Arthur asked.
Krista snickered at Arthur. "Yes you can keep it."
Krista then added a drop of her own blood into each of the glasses. The men then followed suit as they added a drop of their own blood into the glasses. Each member of the group picked up a glass and downed the drinks.
Once everyone had emptied their glass Krista spread her arms out to her sides. She then began chanting in Ancient Egyptian. "Shadows at my command hear my plea and open this man's mind to see the truth. Using the power in the Millennium Necklace show us visions to answer the questions that are burning in his soul. Make each member unable to lie until the visions end. Make this man incapable of relaying what he witnesses to anyone one else. Shadows hear my cry."
Black and purple shadows emerged out of the body of the Royal Sorceress just before the living room of Kaiba Manor faded. When the scene cleared the trio found themselves standing outside The Leaky Cauldron.
Krista look around to notice that there was an image of both her and Draco passed out on the sidewalk. "I take it one of the questions on your mind is who exactly is Draco Malfoy." Krista said.
"Yeah and I have good reason for wanting an answer to that question." Arthur replied in a tone full of authority.
Krista sensing she had insulted Arthur stated. "I'm not judging your motivation, just making an observation."
"How could you tell glancing at this vision?" Arthur asked.
Krista pointed to where she and Draco were passed out. "This takes place during Christmas break two years ago and is a major turning point in Draco's life."
The image of Kaiba hollered. "Just tell me what happened."
"I judged Malfoy with a Shadow Game." Krista stated.
"That much I figured out for myself. The Shadows engulfing you two made it pretty obvious. What did you find out about who Draco Malfoy is?" Kaiba asked.
"Malfoy is filled with prejudice that stems from generations of pureblood thinking in his family. He is consumed with this prejudice if he doesn't change his ways it will eventually corrupt his soul turning him completely evil. Right now he is just a 15 year old kid who thinks that by dueling ungrounded causing pain to members of the non magical community that his father will finally accept him. If he would let go of his prejudice he would definitely go far in the world. He would be a positive influence. He has mental abuse from his father. He also has fear of being hurt physically. He mentioned that he was on the receiving end of a Cruciatus Curse cast by Voldemort and that his father didn't even try to stop it. I must have passed out after finishing my final attack. I kept trying to convince him to leave the underground by telling him that no amount of family troubles are worth it and to leave his prejudices behind, but it was a no go." The image of Krista said as she tried to sit up.
Kaiba noticed that she had a huge scratch on her shoulder. "Krista you are hurt, your shoulder is bleeding." Kaiba said.
"I must have gotten it when I pass out. The pavement is pretty hard." Krista said.
Kaiba pulled out a card from his deck. "Mystical Elf come forth!" The CEO commanded.
As soon as the Mystical Elf steps out of a shadow portal, Mr. Weasley was overcome by a wave of recognition. He pointed to her and said. "I know that witch."
Kaiba and Krista each did a double take and said in unison. "Huh?"
Arthur turned red and began fidgeting with the sleeve of his robe as he stumbled over his words trying to explain. "I mean not personally, I recognize her. She was introduced to me as a healer in training by a healer at St. Mungo's when I was there after being attack by You-Know-Who's snake."
"Really, who introduced you?" The CEO asked.
Arthur tapped his finger to his head as he tried to remember. "One of the older healers working there, he said he was a mentor for the healer in training. That witch was the trainee."
"Mr. Weasley are you sure?" Krista asked.
Arthur nodded his head as he finally remember more details. "Positive! You see one of the healers working my case was a man named Jankmire Voltaire and he and several other healers tried everything they could think of to close those wounds. After almost a week without success, Voltaire brought her with him and she cast a spell and the wounds were healed instantly It completely blew my mind away that a trainee knew the correct spell."
"Imzadi, wasn't Jankmire Voltaire the name of the one of the Valkyrias that was in the vision we saw when Jasmine sealed the Amulet of First Magic?" The High Priest asked telepathically.
"Yes, he is the Valkyria for the House of Gryffindor. It looks like Arthur owes his Valkyria his life," replied the Royal Sorceress.
"more specifically he owes the Mystical Elf his life."
"Does that witch work for you too?"
Due to the spell the CEO answered truthfully. "Sort of, Mystical Elf is one of the monsters in my deck."
"What do you mean?" Arthur asked.
"My magic allows me to summon the monster in my main deck to life." The CEO explained.
Arthur pressed his fingers to his temples as he tried to wrap his mind around the idea that a duel monster had saved his life. "Are you telling me that Jankmire, wields your magic and he conjured...Oh what did you call her...Mystical Elf."
"Not exactly Jankmire can only summon Mystical Elf and Magician Valkyria." Krista replied.
"How do you know Jankmire?" Arthur asked.
"I don't know him, as I've never met him." The Royal Sorceress replied.
"Then how do you know things about him if you never met him?" Arthur asked he was starting to think the truth spell wasn't working properly.
Krista snickered at Arthur's obvious doubts. "I know someone who knows him. And I had a premonition involving her and Jankmire."
Mr. Weasley could feel his head spinning while he was trying to wrap his mind around this newest piece of information. He wasn't sure what to do with it so he decided it wasn't nessessary to know more and he turned his attention back to the vision.
He watched as Mystical Elf healed Krista and Draco before disappearing through a shadow portal. He then noticed that Draco looked like he was starting to speak. "I can't believe I lost to a Mudblood." Draco groaned as he got up slowly and started to get to his feet.
The group watched as Kaiba helped Krista to her feet. They then saw the fury in Krista as she glared at Draco. "You lost because of your prejudice nature."
"That shouldn't have mattered, Mudblood." Malfoy spattered.
Arthur observed the body language of the CEO in the vision and noticed it began showing rage. Arthur couldn't control the hairs that stood up on his neck from the tone of authority and conviction that rang out of the teenage CEO's voice as he yelled. "Krista may have spared you a ruling after judging your heart mostly because she is too drained to dish it out. But I'm at full power and will do it for her! Malfoy, if you really want to know why you lost you need to open your mind to see the truth!"
Even though Arthur knew it was just a vision, he could almost feel the magic radiating on the vision version of Kaiba as the CEO thrust his palm forward and the eye of Horus appeared on his forehead. "MIND CRUSH!" The intensity of what he just saw caused the elder Weasley to stumbled backwards a couple of steps.
Krista turned to look and Mr. Weasley, noticing he looked panicky she asked. "Are you going to be okay."
"What exactly did Mr. Kaiba just do?" Mr. Weasley asked.
"Continue watching this vision and most of your questions should be answered." Kaiba replied.
Mr. Weasley put his full attention back to watching the events. He about fell over when a Shadow Portal appeared and the images of Atem, Hermione and Bakura exited it.
Arthur noticed that Atem looked shocked to see Malfoy present and that shock wasn't absent from Atem's voice as he asked. "Why is Malfoy here? And why is he wearing a duel disk and an underground choker?"
"Because I'm the Black Dragon." Draco said.
"Is Malfoy okay?" Hermione asked.
"Quite you filthy Mudblood...wait why would I say something like that? It is a totally, horrible thing to say...She is magical just like me should it matter that her parents are muggles?" Malfoy muttered mostly to himself even though he was heard by everyone.
"Is he drunk?" Bakura asked.
"He is suffering from a bit of a personality conflict." Krista explained.
"Why?" Hermione asked.
"I judged his heart and Seto carried out his sentence. Malfoy is an English Underground Duelist and we had a Shadow Duel with underground rules that had a slight twist." Krista said.
"Yeah crazy Queen of the Underground had our chokers drain both of us of our magical and physical energies. I'm the Black Dragon." Draco said.
"What happened to Malfoy?" Atem asked.
"I gave him the same ruling you gave me after you beat me with Exodia." Kaiba explained.
"You mean you splintered his personality with a Mind Crush!" Atem yelled.
"I learned from the best. And he will be a better person because of it, once the disorientation wears off." Kaiba explained.
Arthur looked directly into Kaiba's eyes and asked. "You and your group can fracture a person's personality?"
The CEO could see the shock in Arthur's eyes but knowing that he couldn't lie said. "Yes, but we don't do it often since it causes major disorientation."
"It also is only recommend to be done when something in a person's personality needs to be banished to bring out something repressed. In Draco's case banishing his prejudice brought out the good that was suppressed in his soul." Krista added in hopes to elevate some of Arthur's tension. But after observing him for a fraction of a second she realized it wasn't enough, something was still eating away at Arthur's mind.
Arthur looked down at his feet and asked so quietly that Krista and Seto almost didn't hear him. "Is anyone in your group planning on doing that to Ron?"
Krista felt sorry for Arthur as she realized just why witnessing a Mind Crush was overwhelming for him. He was worried about the welfare of his son. She may personally hate Ron, but she knew that a parent loves their child no matter what.
"No! Ronald is too set in his ways and has nothing repressed." The CEO stated.
There was a long pause before Mr. Weasley looked back up. When he did Krista could see that something had changed in the man's demeanor. He seemed to have replaced his shock with determination. "Ginny mentioned that he has been accepting bribes, and you mentioned he was greedy. Could you do the same to him and help him by banishing his greed?"
Krista and Kaiba were both thrown back by Mr. Weasley's request, and Krista didn't want to answer him. But since she was bound by the truth spell, and the knowledge she gained during Bakura's Karaoke Shadow Game Krista said. "Mr. Weasley, I understand that you love your son, but what you ask isn't realistic. Ronald's greed has consumed his entire soul. It is so deep that a Mind Crush would literally leave him without his soul."
"Then I guess that won't work," said Arthur. "Where did I go wrong with him?"
The CEO looked at Arthur and said. "You did nothing wrong, you did everything you could to make sure he was raised right. He just made his own choices and chose to love money over anything else including his family."
The trio watched as the vision of Draco's Mind Crush faded in and out. This time the vision found the four standing outside Malfoy Manor. The watched as Snape and Draco walked up to the gate of the Manor.
"Draco, how are you going to explain your behavior?" The image of Snape asked.
"What part, the fact that my head aches like I've been hitting the Firewhiskey, or the fact that I'm an underground duelist? I really wish my father would just get a clue and see me as a son he can be proud of." Malfoy replied.
"I'm talking about the blurting out that you were doing every time you would say something that is a belief in your family than second guess yourself." Snape explained.
"I will just try to keep my inner turmoil to myself. I'm so fucking confused. What I've been raised to believe is right now seems wrong. But for the life of me I can't figure out why!" Draco yelled out in frustration.
"You do realize you are going to have to explain everything to the Dark Lord. I don't want to see you cursed again." Snape said.
"Then why didn't you stop him?" Draco asked.
"If I had tried to stop the Dark Lord it would have been worse. He might have tried to kill you." Snape said.
"I know why my father didn't he thinks I'm worthless, just because Granger gets better grades. And now I have to compete for better grades against not only Granger, but also the Queen on the Underground and Kaiba the CEO, and the later two have power I can't even comprehend. I witnessed it firsthand today." Draco said more to himself than to Snape.
"You get good grades too." Snape said.
"Not top of the class, so isn't good enough for my father." Draco spat out in a tone dripping with disgust.
"I don't know about your father being proud of the pain you have been giving your opponents, but your aunt will think you are a kid after her own heart." Snape said.
"I am not looking for Aunt Bella's approval and respect!" Draco yelled while holding his temples. "Shit my head really hurts! I don't know what the hell happened today! But whatever happened has seriously fucked with my head!"
The three watched as Snape pulled out his wand, slashing it several times in front of the gate to the Malfoy Manor. The gates swung open granting Snape and Draco entrance. The group continued to watch as the wizards walk in silence into the mansion.
Once the group was inside the doors, Arthur took one look at the scene. He about fainted when he noticed that the dining room was filled with several Death Eaters and Voldemort himself. "Is this some kind of Death Eater meeting were seeing."
Fear ran down the spine of the Royal Sorceress as she finally deduced the vision they were about to witness. "This is the night Draco..." Krista began but couldn't finish her sentence as she began crying. she threw her head into Seto chest in an effort to muffle her sobs. She refused to watch what was going to happen next.
Arthur look at Krista he could fight his gut feeling that whatever was going to happen must be bad for her to refuse to watch. "Is Mrs. Kaiba going to be okay?"
Kaiba was rubbing his wife's back in order to comfort her as he replied. "After this vision ends yes, but you must watch it to understand, you mustn't turn away otherwise you will miss something vital."
Mr. Weasley continued to watch the death eater meeting. What he was hearing was making his whole body shiver. As far as he could tell Lucius was constantly saying verbal insults to Draco. After hearing so many insults he yelled out "How can someone talk so cruelly to their own child."
"This isn't the worst of it." Krista sobbed.
"Keep watching Mr. Weasley." Ordered the CEO.
Arthur complied with Seto's order but he wasn't comfortable with it. He continued to watch as several things were discussed some of which he figured was just vague Death Eater stuff but his attention to was snapped when he heard Draco yell. "I don't want to go to Japan! I don't want to spend Christmas with a group of Mudbloods."
"Mr. Kaiba, every time Draco seems to say Mudblood his whole body language changes. What is going on?" Mr. Weasley asked.
"His Mind Crush is conflicting his beliefs. When he says Mudblood, his mind is saying that blood status doesn't matter even though he has been raised to believe blood status maters. We weren't joking when we said a mind crush has a side effect of disorientations." Kaiba replied.
"You don't have a choice!" Lucius said. "The Dark Lord has made up his mind. You will do as he commands."
Draco turned his head to look at his mom. Tears were starting to form in the youth's eyes as fear ran down his spine. "Mum, please don't make them send me away." Draco pleaded.
Upon hearing Draco's cry the elder Weasley was overwhelmed with pity for the young wizard. But his pity quickly changed to rage when he saw the look in Voldemort's eyes and heard the conviction in his voice when he said. "Lucius, prove you are loyal to me by showing your son respect."
Arthur stood petrified as he saw Lucius draw his wand and point it at Draco. He felt his eyes fill with tears as he heard Draco cry. "Father, please don't. I'm a good son, I'm your son!"
"You will learn to respect the Dark Lord and our ways. This is for your own good." Lucius said. "Crucio!"
Arthur's hand flew to his mouth as he saw Draco fall to his knees screaming in agony. The elder Weasley couldn't even imaging the pain Draco must have felt.
The horror of witnessing Lucius torturing his own son filled the elder Weasley with disgust and rage. "I can't believe Lucius tortured his own son with the Cruciatus Curse. I knew he was evil but never did I think he abused his own son!"
"Now you know why Krista couldn't watch this vision. Child abuse cases are hard for her add Draco being her cousin makes it harder." Kaiba said.
The group waited in silence while the vision faded out. The group then found themselves standing outside a coffee shop where Draco and Krista were sitting at one of the tables enjoying their beverages.
"This vision takes place the day after Lucius tortured Draco." Krista explained.
Everyone present could hear the fear in Malfoy's voice as he said. "Krista, am I ever going to be the same again?"
"No you are going to be better, but never the same. Your soul has been freed from the bigotry that was bred into you." Krista replied.
Malfoy sighed. "How am I ever going to fit in at school? I'll be the only Slytherin who isn't obsessed with the idea that pureblood wizards should rule the world." He said.
"You'll just have to pretend that your values haven't been enlightened, similar to how Snape Sensei does it." Krista said.
"I can't go around calling people who are muggle born Mudbloods anymore it is a very terrible thing to say." Malfoy said.
"It is insulting I'll agree with you on that. My advice to you is just don't say it. You can still walk around like you think you own the school because you are wealthy. Your folks won't take your money away." Krista said.
"That is true, Mum wouldn't allow it. She even set me up my own vault at Gringotts with my own fortune in it. It isn't as big as some of the others but it is still pretty big. How else would I get money to be able to get my dueling stuff, I also have unlimited access to the Malfoy family vault. I guess free access to all our family's wealth was my father's way of justifying treating me like shit." Malfoy said.
"You will have your work cut out for you. You'll have to fool your father and Voldemort into believing you hold the same values they do." Krista stated.
"It would be easier if I could just figure out how to take my father's power away from him. His power within the ministry relies on wealth." Malfoy said.
"The tone in his voice leads me to believe that Draco is planning something devious. He really is a Slytherin." Arthur stated.
"Yes he is but that doesn't' matter, I'm sure you know I'd would have been a Slytherin." Kaiba commented.
Arthur snickered. "Of course I did. Anyone who can pull off a hostile takeover at 14 would have to be cunning."
The vision then faded out bring the three witness to another point in time. This time bring them into the living room of Kaiba Manor. It appeared that Kaiba, Krista, Snape and Draco were in the middle of a deep discussion.
Arthur looked at the image of Krista to notice she was wearing earring that looked like Christmas balls. "Nice earrings Mrs. Kaiba, it must be close to Christmas."
"Christmas Eve to be exact." Krista said.
"Do you guys honestly think that having Draco go through the initiation is a good idea?" The vision of Snape asked.
"I don't want to die and I don't want my mum to die. So if it is a choice between pretending to be a Death Eater and being murder. Then I choose having the Dark Lord think I've joined him. I will be the best double agent he ever saw, I will fool him, my father, my aunt and anyone one who gets in my way. When Dark Lord ordered my father to cast the Cruciatus Curse on me he created the most dangerous enemy imaginable!" Draco yelled with so much force he made Kaiba's fire employee's voice.
Draco declaration caused Mr. Weasley to shutter as the vision changed once again. This time showing Snape escorting Malfoy toward the gate of Malfoy Manor. "Draco, are you sure you are ready for this?"
"When does this vision take place?" Arthur asked.
"Day before we headed back for the second term at Hogwarts during Draco's fifth year." Kaiba replied.
"You and my fellow duelists have been working around the clock to get me ready for this night. Or I guess it is closer to early evening here. Damn eight hour time difference." Draco said with annoyance in his voice. He shook his head to clear his thoughts. "Anyway I will be successful at hiding the truth if that is what you are worried about."
"I know that. What I meant was getting..." Snape began.
"A Dark Mark." Draco interrupted. "We'll see. The Dark Lord may postpone an initiation and he may not I'll take it as it comes. I will do anything to survive and to keep my mum alive."
"Did he actually get marked?" Arthur asked.
"Keep watching and you'll get your answer." Seto replied.
"And your father." Snape said.
"I hope he dies a very slow, very painful death. He hurt me and even though I have no proof I'm pretty sure he has hurt mum. He will deserve death when it is given to him." Malfoy said.
"You really have changed a lot." Snape commented.
Malfoy shrugged. "I just have been enlightened. I must say that Mind Crush that Kaiba gave me wasn't fun and the disorientation was a pain in the ass. But I know I'm a better person because of it. I also now know who I am and what I'm supposed to do."
Arthur continued to watch the vision and from what he gathered it was another Death Eater meeting. Most of what was being said he didn't really comprehend. He only caught a few words here and there mostly because his mind kept wanting an answer to his question.
Mr. Weasley mind strapped to attention when he heard Draco say. "If anyone other than my father or yourself had been the ones running the operation, you wouldn't have lost so many Death Eaters in Egypt. A smarter Death Eater would have known to approach before attacking. If they seemed uncooperative then you attack. But my father decided that it was more fun to go wands drawn and just start attacking, and the fact that he thought it was necessary to first send dementors was stupid too. It put the group on the aggressive." Draco said.
Voldemort scratched his chin. "You are right Draco. The whole fiasco in Egypt was Lucius' fault. You have learned more in a week than he was able to gather in months. You will be a valuable Death Eater but first I think you should do something else for me." Voldemort stated.
"What is it my Lord?" Draco asked.
"I wish to punish Lucius for his incompetency the last few months. However I think you have earned the right to carry it out." Voldemort said.
Mr. Weasley's eyes got as wide as saucers as he saw a look of determination in Draco's eyes. As Draco drew his wand, Arthur was pretty certain what was going to happen next.
"As you wish my Lord." Draco said as stood up out of his chair towering over Lucius. "I'm sorry father, but what the Dark Lord wants the Dark Lord gets."
Arthur stared at the scene without blinking as he saw Malfoy point his wand at his father. "Crucio!" Malfoy yells.
As Draco was holding his curse on his father, Mr. Weasley noticed that Narcissa didn't seem too upset that her son is torturing his father. That lead the man to one inevitable conclusion. "Draco was right about Lucius hurting Narcissa wasn't he?"
"This journey has just begun, be patient you'll get confirmation one way or the other." Krista replied.
Arthur nodded his head as he observed Draco lifting the curse on his father. He then heard Bellatrix scream out something but he didn't really pay attention to it. He was more interested in Draco then that crazy lady. He watched without blinking as Voldemort rose out of his chair, drew his wand and spoke. "Roll up your left sleeve Draco."
Arthur's entire body froze as he saw Draco comply with Voldemort's request. Voldemort pressed his wand to Draco's forearm. When he was done casting the spell, Arthur could see the Dark Mark branded on Draco's arm.
As the vision faded out Arthur stated. "I can't put into words what I just witnessed."
"I told you that once you start this journey there is no turning back. There is much more for you to see. You desired an answer to a very complex question so you are getting a complex answer." Krista stated.
"Draco took the Dark Mark in order to protect his mum, as well as vengeance towards You-Know-Who and his father. Even though he knew, that he would have the mark for the rest of his life he still let himself get branded."
"Yes he did," said Krista. "If you were in a similar situation could you honestly say you wouldn't do the same thing to protect your wife or your children."
Arthur sighed. "Honestly I don't know what I would do if faced with a choice like Draco's. But He did it out of love for his mum, and a desire to bring down You-Know-Who and all that he represents. If you take the Dark Mark, I guess that is the right way to do it. I just can't believe he cast an Unforgivable Curse even if it was on someone like Lucius."
"Then you still have a long way to go to opening your mind and understanding the truth." Krista stated as the next vision faded into focus.
The group noticed that Draco and Snape were walking towards Malfoy's home. "You know your relationship with Miss Weasley makes your situation more complicated." Snape said.
"How could my situation get more complicated? We are extremely careful that we aren't caught together and if we ever do get caught all someone will deduce is I'm seeing a pureblood witch. This should convince anyone I have pureblood standards for dating a girl, and I have high standards for attractiveness, the girls in Slytherin aren't attractive so I chose a pureblood outside of my house." Draco said.
"She is a Gryffindor. And her parents are considered Blood Traitors." Snape said.
"So what just because her parents are doesn't necessarily mean she will be, which is the argument I can always use to my advantage?" Draco said.
"You have learned a lot from Kaiba haven't you." Snape stated.
"Yes I have. I also know that the Dark Lord wants to win the war. And he is smart enough that he won't disregard anyone of pureblood status right away. He'll want them to be added to his fold he would only hurt a pureblood if they wouldn't join him. He values pureblood over anything else, only those of muggle heritage will be in danger." Draco explained.
"I don't doubt your logic, but it is still dangerous. Does she know about you?" Snape asked.
"She knows I'm a double agent if that is what you mean." Draco said.
"When Draco says he is a double agent. he means he works for you as a spy on You Know Who. Just like I'm your spy on the Ministry." Arthur asked.
"Yes and no. He is our spy, but not an employee of Kaiba Corp." Kaiba replied.
"But what about Snape he is a spy, why recruit Draco?" Mr. Weasley asked.
"You should have paid closer attention when Draco stated he would do anything to keep his mum safe. We didn't recruit Draco, he volunteered to be our informant on the Dark Lord and the Death Eaters. And technically Severus is more our informant on the happenings in the Order to help keep certain information about us from Dumbledore." Krista stated.
Arthur did a double take. "What do you mean?"
"There are three sides to this war, those in favor of the Dark Lord, those who supported and still support Dumbledore and those loyal to us." Krista explained.
Arthur nodded his head as he began to see things clearly. "So when Ginny said we chose the wrong side and she the correct one, she was talking about her loyalties to you. The third side to the war."
"Now you are starting to see the picture." Krista stated.
"I just don't want you to end up like me." The image of Snape said.
"What do you mean?" Draco asked.
"I a long time ago was in love with a Gryffindor, one could say I still love her even though she is gone." Snape said.
"The Dark Lord killed her didn't he?" Draco asked.
"Yes that is why I am determined to bring him down. I must have my revenge! Don't tell anyone!" Snape threatened.
"I won't say a word. I also won't let anything happen to Ginny for some reason I'm overwhelmed with an instinct to protect her." Draco explained.
"And you don't call that being in love." Snape said as he shook his head in disbelief.
"Nope, now can we change the conversion?" Draco asked.
Mr. Weasley's anxiety was increasing with each passing moment. But what made him feel like he was about to hurl was when he saw Draco and Snape enter Malfoy Manor and he saw Lucius standing over Narcissa with his wand pointed at her. Narcissa was on the floor on her hands and knees. As she lifted her head he couldn't help but notice that her left cheek bone was bright red. And he couldn't ignore the look her eyes. A look that was begging and pleading with Lucius to let her go.
"I'll ask you again, Narcissa, what happened to the money?" Lucius said.
"I told you I don't know." Narcissa cried.
"Crucio!" Lucius yelled.
As soon as Arthur saw the curse hit Narcissa he screamed out in anger. "How could someone use that curse on their own wife? Your wife is supposed to be your soul mate, your best friend, your lover, the mother of your children, not someone to hurt! First his son now his wife will the horror never end."
"You know, I ask myself the same thing each time an abuse case comes to the Isis Foundation." Krista stated as she used her palms to wipe the tears that were falling down her cheeks.
"Why didn't Narcissa just leave Lucius, why did she stay with him?" Arthur asked.
"She told me she wanted to many times, but to leave would have killed her do to an Unbreakable Vow. She contemplated leaving and accepting death but she feared that Lucius would hurt Draco if she was gone so she chose to endure to protect Draco." Krista explained.
"I didn't know you and she were so close."
"Last Christmas she and I had lengthy discussion, where we shared certain personal things with each other."
Arthur just nodded his head, he didn't feel like he needed details in regards to Krista and Narcissa conversations. However he did have another question on his mind. "What really happened to the money?" He asked.
"Draco embezzled it." Krista stated.
"You mean he stole it." Arthur staid.
Krista smirked. "Well technically yes, but embezzled has a classier connotation and more accurately describes what Draco did."
"You certainly would have been a Ravenclaw." Arthur muttered causing Krista to roll her eyes.
The trio looked around to noticed the scene had changed. "We are in one of the corridors at Hogwarts now." Arthur stated.
Krista looked to see a image of herself talking to Draco. "Yes and if I'm not mistaken this is the day Draco swears on his deck."
Arthur wasn't sure exactly what the CEO's wife meant, but he figured it wasn't too important so he just turned his attention to watch the vision unfold.
"When is killing someone considered murder and when is it not considered murder?" Draco asked.
"Did Voldemort order you to kill someone?" Krista asked.
"No, I want to kill my father! I know if I went up to him and cast the Killing Curse right now it would work because I want him dead! He is abusing my mum and I won't let him hurt her anymore!" Draco hollered.
Krista replied in a voice of conviction that it created goose bumps on Arthurs arms. "That would be categorized in a non magical court of law as justifiable homicide. Killing someone to prevent another from being hurt. Justifiable homicide isn't an uncommon claim when the abuser is killed by the one they had abused or a relative of the abused. It is in the same category as self defense. I'm not sure what the magical laws would call it. Why ask if it is murder? I certainly don't categorize it as murder the world would be better off without your father." Krista voice was dripping with disgust at her last statement.
"I know that murder splits the soul and I for one don't want to split my soul." Draco said.
"Only you can answer the question if killing to save your mom would spilt your soul. I for one don't think that killing your father would cause your soul to split, he is an evil man. The big question is do you think killing your father is justified?" Krista asked.
"I totally think it is justified." Draco stated.
Krista nodded her head in agreement. "Then you have answered your own question on whether or not killing him would split your soul. If you decided to actually do it, I would recommend doing it in a way that won't create suspicions for the Ministry and get you thrown in Azkaban. Because something tells me that the Ministry of Magic really doesn't have a justifiable homicide clause in their laws they would lock you up for murder." Krista explained.
Arthur kept shaking his head in confusion. "I'm confused why is Draco asking that? Didn't the daily profit say Lucius Malfoy jumped to his death after losing his family fortune?"
"This conversation takes place before that article came out." Kaiba explained.
Krista pointed back to the scene and said. "Mr. Weasley, it looks like there is more for you to see."
"Now I do have a totally different thing to ask you." Draco stated.
"What is it?" Krista asked.
"Do you think this is too much?" Draco reached in his pocket, pulled out his little bag that had the undetectable extension charm on it. He reached into the bag and pulled out a black square box. It was about eight inches wide and eight inches long. "I had this special made for Ginny, but now I think it might give her the wrong idea." He said as he handed Krista a box.
Krista flipped open the box what she saw made her eyes pop out. "Wow, I think she will like these, most girls like necklaces and earrings, however I can't believe you got her a Red Eyes Ultimate replica for the necklace. And the earrings are both Red Eyes Black Dragons. I know Pegasus' royalty rate for replicas and they aren't cheap." Krista lifted the necklace to examine it. "Plus you had them created with platinum and used onyx for the dragon's scales to cover the entire bodies of the dragons and rubies for the eyes. This collection would have ran you around 2,000,000 Pounds."
"I'm rich and didn't feel like hiding all my wealth in the stock market so I thought some jewelry for an extremely sexy girl was an order." Draco stated with a grin.
"Not to mention you did make a huge return on your stocks already." Krista added.
"So do you think it is too much?" Draco asked.
Krista laughed as she put the necklace back in the box, and closed the lid. "I think it proves how you really feel about her, no one gives someone this kind of jewelry unless they are hopelessly and totally in love."
"I already told Professor Snape I'm not in love." Draco snapped as he started to feel embarrassed and his cheeks turned pink.
Krista noticed the pinking in Draco's cheeks and laughed even harder. "Yeah, you keep telling yourself that, and you might start to believe it." She said with a hint of sarcasm in her voice.
Draco recomposed his figured as he asked. "How do you know I don't want to give her this to get in her pants?"
"First I already know you want to jump her, you are just being a gentleman by letting her make the first move towards total intimacy so she doesn't regret anything in the morning. And if sex was your motivation, you would have bought a pair of diamond earrings running you maybe 200 grand for a really nice pair, and not a special order that was 10 times the price and one that is the replicas to the ace of your deck and your most powerful monster." Krista teased.
"Shut up." Draco snapped.
"I call them like I see them. You are so in love with her." Krista said in a teasing tone.
"Now I'm wishing I didn't show them to you." Draco said as he held out his hand. "Can I have them back now?"
"Of course." Krista handed Draco the box. "So when are you going to give them to her?" She asked.
"Well we have a date to see Madam Butterfly this Saturday and I thought she could wear them there with a dress I want to buy for her. She needs new stuff. Someone of her beauty shouldn't be in second hand stuff all the time." Draco said.
"Yeah, because nothing says a day at the opera house like a pair of duel monster replica earrings and necklace." Krista said sarcastically.
As the image faded out Arthur asked. "Draco really does love Ginny doesn't he?"
Krista nodded her head. "Yes he does, he has done and will do anything and everything in his power to keep her safe."
Arthur's eyes widened as he was hit with a major revelation. "And by being marked and having a Betrothal Bond with Ginny. She is untouchable since she is seen in He-Who-Must-Not-Be- Named eyes as the only hope to continue the Malfoy line."
"That is why they did it. Draco didn't want her to be a target for rape or killed. Being your daughter put her at risk, unless they were bonded." Krista explained.
The corridor faded out then rematerialized as one of the many bedroom in Kaiba Manor. Krista took one look at the scene. She saw Draco laying on the bed working on his laptop. When she saw Ginny enter the room. She touched her necklace whispered softly to it. "I hope by you showing Mr. Weasley this vision, he doesn't have a heart attack."
"This is the night Ginny flew to Domino City isn't it?" Kaiba whispered in Krista's ear. In which she only replied by nodding her head.
"Cousin, is there something I can do for you?" Draco asked without even looking up from his laptop.
Arthur chuckled "Obviously Draco thought Ginny was Mrs. Kaiba when she came in."
"No shit." The CEO stated.
"You might want to look up from your laptop." Ginny said flirtatiously.
Draco smirked when he heard Ginny's voice. "Sweet Thing, when did you get here?" He asked as he closed his laptop and placed it on the floor.
"Just got here." Ginny replied flirtatiously.
Draco got off his bed and walked over to her. "Baby Cakes, you do realize we aren't in school right now and that robe is unnecessary." He whispered in her ear.
"Sometimes a gift needs to be unwrapped." Ginny teased.
Draco raised an eyebrow as he took his index finger and thumb to unzip Ginny's robe to reveal Ginny wearing a black lace teddy with a black leather garter belt, fishnet stockings and a pair of six inch heels. She had left her necklace and earrings on to complete her outfit.
"Oh Merlin! No father should ever see their daughter dressed like that!" Arthur hollered as he covered his eyes with the palms of his hands. He was determined not to remove his hands until the next vision he didn't care at that moment that Krista had said earlier that he must see all.
Unfortunately, for the elder Weasley, he could still hear and started to become overwhelmed with embarrassment as he heard Draco speak. He also couldn't ignore the lust in the teenage wizard's voice as Draco said. "Wow, you look really sexy. I believe leather and lace suit you."
Mr. Weasley noticed that there was a moment of silence followed by an intense kissing sound. Finally the kissing stopped and he heard Draco sneer. "Oh Baby Cakes, strawberry flavored lip gloss and lavender perfume, why Miss Weasley I do believe you are trying to seduce me."
Another moment of silence followed causing the elder Weasley to peak through his fingers only to witness Draco running his hands over Ginny's shoulders removing her robe allowing it to fall on the floor.
Arthur's face was as red as his hair as the vision changed bringing the group to the top of the KC tower in London. "Why did I have to see that last vision? I already knew and believed that Ginny and Draco were intimate, I didn't need the proof."
Krista couldn't help but snicker at Arthurs antics. "When two soul mates of the magical persuasion make love for the first time it creates a bond of fidelity blessed by Isis herself."
"Obviously somewhere on the subconscious level you were doubting Draco would be faithful to Ginny." The CEO stated.
"It was showing you that Draco and Ginny's bond of love can never be severed and neither can stray." Krista added.
Arthur glanced around to notice that they were towering over London. He could see that this vision was one with Draco, Voldemort, and Lucius. "Now when in time are we?" He asked.
Kaiba crossed his arms over his chest and smirked. "It is the day a Death Eater got what he deserved."
"Meaning I have to watch." Arthur reasoned.
Krista snickered. "It is a vision quest."
"Why am I here?" Lucius asked.
"Because I have a score to settle with you, I don't like having my job now ten times more difficult. You are a disgrace as a Death Eater. You had only two things to do. Retrieve the prophecy for the Dark Lord and don't kill an exchange student. You were in charge so the death of the exchange student named Rebecca is your blunder as much as Wormtail's!" Draco yelled.
The Dark Lord smiled as he spoke. "You are correct, Draco, your father shouldn't be a Death Eater. I believe he has out lived his usefulness. He no longer has any money to bribe the officials and he can't follow the simplest of instructions."
"Are you going to kill me, my Lord?" Lucius said.
"Oh no, father, the Dark Lord won't be killing you tonight." Draco sneered as Lucius let out a sigh of relief. "I will be the one to kill you!"
"You don't have the stomach to kill, you are worthless." Lucius somehow managed to say.
The trio watched as Draco walked up to his father so that he was directly facing him. The noticed that as Draco took a step forward Lucius took a step back. Draco continued doing this until he had Lucius right on the edge of the building. "You think I won't kill you?" Draco taunted.
"No, you wouldn't risk casting a Killing Curse while you still have the trace on you. You aren't that dumb." Lucius said.
"I would cast the Killing Curse on you and not think twice about it, but then if I did. I wouldn't be able to do this." Draco sneered. "Stupefy!" A red beam shot Lucius with such force he was thrown backwards off the top of the KC tower.
As Lucius' stunned body fell down the tower, it hit the pavement with a loud crash. "Isn't gravity a bitch?" Draco said as he threw his father's wand off the side of the building.
Arthur's shock at seeing Draco kill Lucius, caused his throat to go dry. After swallowing several times he finally was able to say. "Draco killed Lucius, but made it look like suicide."
"Yes he did." The CEO said as if it was nothing.
Krista looked at Mr. Weasley's body language. She could tell he was shocked, but she was unable to tell what the he was thinking so she asked. "How do you feel knowing that?"
Arthur paused for several moments before finally saying. "I understand why he did it. It is just hard for me to realize that my daughter is going to marry a man who killed his own father."
"Even though that man was abusing both his wife and son?" Kaiba asked.
"Like I said I understand Draco's justification for killing Lucius." Arthur said with more annoyance present in his voice then he intended to have.
The top of the tower faded out and soon the trio found themselves in Dumbledore's office. Kaiba looked at the scene to notice a broken ring and the fake sword on the old man's desk. "This vision takes place the evening of my wedding."
"Fuck me inside out and backwards, this was one vision I wasn't expecting to ever see again!" Krista exclaimed.
The CEO stared at Arthur. "Mr. Weasley, it appears that not only did you have questions about Draco but it looks like your soul has questions about Dumbledore as well."
"Well some yeah." Arthur admitted.
"Seto, Draco and I saw this vision already, but it is important for you to see it to understand everything you want answers to." Krista explained.
"Watch and listen carefully as the truths reveled here are tied to a questions or doubts you have about Dumbledore and or Severus." The CEO instructed in a tone that told Arthur he better comply or there would be consequences.
Dumbledore's office opened and Snape walked in carrying a potion vial. "You sent for me, Headmaster." Snape said
"Yes Severus, did you bring the potion?" Dumbledore asked.
Snape rolled his eyes. "I have it right here." Snape handed Dumbledore the potion and Dumbledore drank it quickly.
Snape took a quick glance at Dumbledore's hand and quickly whipped out his wand. He spent several minutes tapping his wand on Dumbledore's hand and muttered incantations under his breath.
When Snape was finished, he glared at the ring. "Why did you put that ring on it held a terrible curse?" He asked.
Arthur pointed to the ring on the desk. "So the ring on the table had a curse and that curse caused Dumbledore hand to blacken."
"Correct." Kaiba stated.
Arthur let out a sigh from frustration. "Every time I asked about his hand last year he avoided giving me an answer."
"He was notorious for doing shit like that!" Krista hollered with her voice full of contempt.
"I have quarantined the curse into your hand but it will eventually kill you. The curse is one designed to get stronger with time and eventually kill the host." Snape explained.
"How much time?" Dumbledore asked.
"A year tops. If you had come to me sooner, I could have given you more time." Snape explained.
"By the time I got through security at the wedding you were already gone." Dumbledore confessed.
"You should have just sent Fawkes to me with a letter." Snape stated.
"I needed to see Bakura and Harry first anyway." Dumbledore took a deep breath while looking at his hand. "I guess I'll have to work faster with Harry than I first planned." He muttered mostly to himself although everyone heard him.
Arthur mind started spinning as he continued to watch the events unfolding before his eyes. "What does he mean by working faster with Harry?"
"Keep watching." Krista ordered.
"What do you mean?" Snape asked.
"I don't tell you all my secrets you know that. I just have information I need to give to Harry, and now that I have such a short time left. He will get all his information in the next year." Dumbledore explained.
"That boy has a connection to the Dark Lord's mind and refuses to learn Occlumency and you want him to know your secrets!" Snape hollered.
"I will not discuss this issue further with you, Severus. But I do have a few other things I want to discuss with you." Dumbledore said.
Snape inwardly groaned, "Like what, Headmaster?" He asked.
"Who in your house is Miss Weasley's lover?" Dumbledore asked.
"You have got to be kidding me? Why does Dumbledore need to know that?" Arthur asked he then looked at Kaiba and Krista. "I know keep watching." This caused the couple to just nod their heads.
"What makes you think she is a lover to someone in my house?" He asked.
"I saw her at the wedding and she had her hair colored to match the Slytherin House." Dumbledore stated.
"She told me she lost a bet with Bakura." Snape stated.
"So Ginny's had her hair colored with green and silver for over a year?" Arthur asked.
Krista nodded. "Yep she likes it that way. And Draco thinks it is hot."
Arthur just nodded as he turned his attention back to Snape and Dumbledore's conversation. "You still haven't answered me. Who is Miss Weasley seeing?" Dumbledore asked.
"No idea, I don't go around asking the students in my house who they are dating. Let alone who they go to bed with! Do you want me to go and attempt to read her mind?" Snape asked sarcastically.
"Don't bother I already tried." Dumbledore said.
Arthur put his hand to head to elevate the shock that hit him like a tidal wave. "I can't believe Dumbledore would invade my daughter privacy like that."
"Keep watching it gets worse." Kaiba stated.
"You are about to have your entire perceptions of Dumbledore enlightened." Krista added.
"However it was unsuccessful Mrs. Kaiba mentioned that she taught Miss Weasley to keep out unwanted intrusions. I suspect some kind of Shadow Game was involved in it." Dumbledore reasoned.
"This is the second vision that mentioned a Shadow Game. What exactly is a shadow game?" Arthur asked.
Knowing the spell prohibited lying, the Royal Sorceress stated. "Our Shadow Magic allows us to look into people's hearts by playing games with them. We use it to judge and pass a verdict."
"You did that to my daughter?" Arthur asked.
"No it was a Shadow Spell. Just like I cast this Shadow Spell before this adventure for you began." Krista replied.
Arthur raised his eyebrows as something clicked into place. "Ron was involved in them wasn't he."
"Yes once by Hermione, I know you were told by Dumbledore it was Atem but in order to protect Hermione Atem took the blame. That game resulted in him thinking he was a girl." The High Priest stated.
"The second was done with Yugi and the result was running around naked for a month as a form of poetic justice for vanishing my blouse exposing my breasts to him." The Royal Sorceress added.
"Dumbledore didn't mention that Ron vanished your blouse only that Yugi cursed him. He also never mentioned Shadow Spells. I guess there was a lot he didn't tell his followers." Arthur stated.
"Dumbledore thought all our magic was done with Shadow Games. He never knew about Krista's Shadow Spells." Kaiba explained.
Arthur nodded his head as he tried to work through his newest discoveries. He decided continuing to watch the events in Dumbledore's office would help clear thing up.
"Is there anything else you needed Headmaster?" Snape said.
"Yes, what are Voldemort's plans for the upcoming school year?" Dumbledore asked.
Snape let out a sigh. "The Dark Lord foresees a time when he won't need a spy at the school."
"He believes the school will be his shortly." Dumbledore said.
"I believe so Headmaster." Snape replied.
Dumbledore was observing Snape's body language closely before asking. "So who is the unfortunate soul who has been given the order to kill me, surely Voldemort would want you to do it?"
"I think he expects me to do it in the end. But since you are already dyeing why not let yourself be killed?" Snape replied.
Dumbledore smiled. "I will not let Draco's soul be spilt."
"I never said it was Draco." Snape said.
"I know you, Severus. You would protect your godson from anything which makes me believe that you have an Unbreakable Vow with his mother. Which is why you avoided giving me a name." Dumbledore reasoned.
"I had no choice. I don't want to see Draco die." Snape said.
"I don't want the boy to die either. So therefore you must kill me." Dumbledore stated.
"Do you want me to do it now or do you want to write your own obituary first?" Snape asked sarcastically.
Arthur snickered at Snape sarcasm. "I never knew Snape had as sense of humor!"
"I think Krista's smartass nature was a tad contagious." Kaiba stated.
"I'm a smartass I never knew that!" Krista said in the most innocent voice she could create.
"Not yet, I still have stuff to do but rest assured you will kill me within the next year. I'm sure the time will show up when you will know you must kill me." Dumbledore ordered.
"You are worried about Draco's soul spitting, but what about mine?" Snape asked.
"Only you can tell if honoring the last request of an already dying man to save him from a painful death would spilt your soul." Dumbledore replied.
"You have put me in a terrible position. I've lied for you, spied for you, and put my life on the line numerous times. And now you ask me to kill you and you won't even tell me what you want to tell the Potter brat. I thought you trusted me." Snape said.
"Wow I never realized just how much emotional control Snape has, I'd have hit Dumbledore by now." Arthur stated.
"If you want to hit him now, just wait and see how you feel later." Krista said.
Arthur turned to look back at the scene. "I won't tell you everything. But since you seem to need to be convinced, that I trust you I will tell you this. And you must not tell Harry until the right time. Do I have your word on that?" Dumbledore asked.
Snape nodded his head. "You have my word." Snape replied.
"There will come a time after my death that Voldemort will fear the life of his snake." Dumbledore said.
"Nagini." Snape stated.
"Correct when there comes a time when Voldemort keeps Nagini under magical protection and doesn't send her on mission you must tell Harry that the night the Killing Curse rebounded a fragment of Voldemort's soul separated from Voldemort and attached itself to Harry. And in order to vanquish Voldemort, Harry must be killed by Voldemort's own hand." Dumbledore declared.
Arthur felt his chest constrict. He placed his palm over his heart. "Dumbledore expects Harry to die in the war!"
"Yes." Kaiba said.
"I don't want to see anymore. Harry is like an adopted son to me, how could Dumbledore want to sacrifice him!" Arthur yelled.
Knowing hearing this truth was most likely the hardest thing he would hear, Krista spoke. "Arthur, you must continue this vision quest, only then will you see the whole picture."
"So this whole time you have just been raising the boy like a pig for slaughter. He has to die." Snape said.
Arthur threw his arms up in the air as he hollered "I actually agree with Snape there is a new revelation for me."
"Severus is a good man, but that is another story for another time." Krista stated.
"Yes, Severus, Harry Potter must die." Dumbledore said.
"I thought this whole time we were keeping him safe and alive for her, for Lily. Now you tell me the boy, her son must die." Snape said.
"Severus, after all this time have you finally grown to care about the boy?" Dumbledore asked with his signature smile on his face.
"Oh if this wasn't a vision, I'd curse that smile right off Dumbledore's face!" Arthur yelled.
"Expecto Patronum." A sliver doe erupted form the tip of Snape's wand.
Dumbledore looked at Severus' Patronus. "Lily?"
"Always!" Snape said.
After seeing Snape's Patronus things started to make sense to Arthur. "So that is why Dumbledore trusted Snape. Snape was in love with Harry's mum."
Krista smirked. "Yes he was."
Arthur looked Krista directly in her eyes. "You knew Snape loved Lily didn't you?"
"Practically from the first time I met Severus. He gained my groups trust when I had a premonition showing Severus' feelings for Lily as his motivation for fighting this war as a spy." Krista explained.
Arthur watched as Dumbledore's office faded out when things came back into focus he realized he was still in Dumbledore's office. "Is something going wrong with the spell."
Krista looked to see that Severus was asleep in a chair and she was face to face with Dumbledore. "No this is a different vision." She pointed at the desk. "Look closer."
Arthur's face turned red as he realized he missed seeing the obvious. "Oh you're in this one."
Krista nodded. "Yes and in this one, I just finished a Shadow Game with Dumbledore."
"What happens now?" Dumbledore asked.
"As the winner of a Shadow Game used to judge you, I now have the right to pass a sentencing I believe is fair. I had gone into this game thinking you wouldn't be honest, let alone show any remorse for your actions. When you apologized to me, I could tell you were truly sorry so my judgment for you is this." Krista took a deep breath before continuing to speak. "I will not interfere with what destiny has set in motion for you. You know you will die and I won't stop it. Whether you die from your own foolish acts, or by someone's wand it makes no difference. You deserve to surrender your own life to pay for the ones that have died from your actions. However, since you showed remorse, I'll show you mercy. I will let your soul remain whole. This allows you to be reincarnated should destiny ever see fit to reincarnate your soul. Perhaps in your next life you will have learned from the mistakes you made in this one and won't repeat them." Krista commanded.
"Mrs. Kaiba I don't believe in reincarnation." Dumbledore stated.
"Whether you believe or not is irrelevant. My sentence stands." Krista said.
"I never intended your mother to die from withholding information." Dumbledore confessed.
"There is an old saying that is quite popular in the non magical community. The saying goes; the road to hell is paved with good intentions. You may have never intended to have my mom murdered which set a chain reaction for my childhood being nothing but a living hell, and you may never intended to have Rebecca die but these events still happened. You are as responsible for their deaths as the one who cast the spells that ended their lives. Had you made a better decision the deaths could have been avoided. Something also tells me they aren't the only two people to die from your actions." Krista reasoned.
Dumbledore nodded his head. "I also never wanted to have Miss Hopkins die. I only wanted to help you and your friends to learn to master magic since you wield a very dark power. One I must admit I don't fully understand, let alone understand why you don't see your magic as evil when you have the power to strip people of their souls."
Krista rolled her eyes. "My friends and I have tried many times over the last year to explain to you that dark doesn't equal evil. You are just too set in your ways to ever fully understand this concept. You see a dark spell only being able to be done for evil purposes. But if someone tried to kill Seto or anyone I care about and I had the clean shot to kill them, I wouldn't hesitate to protect the ones I love even if it meant casting an Unforgivable Curse. Yes it is dark magic but not done for an evil purpose. Just like self-defense or justifiable homicide doesn't equal first-degree murder within the non-magical courts. Yes, aspects of our magic are considered dark by the wizarding world's definitions. But we always carry out our judgments with a justifiable reason and a fair punishment. You seem to be just focusing on our extracting of souls ability. However, the stripping and fracturing of a soul is only done to those of great evil who show absolutely no remorse. Everyone judged and punished by us deserves their fate. Most only get a little punishment to learn a lesson, like Ronald Weasley thinking he is a girl for a week or Mrs. the Hutt walking a mile in her victims' shoes for twenty four hours, or how I sealed the Penalty Game for breaking the contract reliving your worst memory for an hour."
Dumbledore sighed he knew he couldn't change Krista's mind about her magic. "Are you going to kill me, here and now?" He asked.
Krista shook her head. "It isn't my destiny to kill you. And even if it were, I wouldn't kill you today. You still have your lessons to complete with Harry. I said before I won't interfere with what destiny has set into motion. That includes what destiny has in store for Harry. Harry's destiny is to vanquish Voldemort, you know it, I know it, Harry knows it, and well everyone else seems to know it too. But since you have been so secretive on what you know or what you suspect and I know that you can't change your way of thinking that the only way to help Harry complete his destiny is to have you continue giving him his lessons." Krista explained.
Dumbledore was surprised by Krista's declaration. Perhaps she had more of an understanding than he first realized. "Does that mean you actually trust me?"
Krista was baffled by Dumbledore's question. She took a few moments to recompose her figure before speaking. "No I don't trust you and I never will. I can also speak for my friends that they will never come to trust you. But I have come to an understanding. You are sorry and I can respect that. My understanding however doesn't change my opinion that you are just a manipulative foolish old man who desperately needs to get laid."
Kaiba snickered at his wife's sexual comment. "Couldn't help but make at least one smartass comment could you."
Krista smirked and placed her hands on her hips. "I think the old fool needed to be taken out of his comfort zone, the guy was 150 year old virgin."
Dumbledore's face was beet red from Krista's comment. "Mrs. Kaiba, I'm not even sure what to say to that."
Krista smirked. "Before I leave and head to breakfast, I must finish my judgment. I came into this Shadow Game expecting to give you a fate worse than death by fracturing your soul upon your death. Instead, I'm going to make it so it can't be fractured by any Shadow Wielder, leaving your soul completely in the hands of the gods." Krista stretched out her arms to her sides. She then started speaking in Ancient Egyptian. "Shadows at my command you have heard the judgment from this Shadow Game now carry out my sentence."
Arthur remained silent for several moments while he processed the verdict he had just witnessed. Finally he asked the question that was on his mind from the moment it was first mentioned during this vision. "Can you really can strip a soul from a person's body?"
"Yes that is how we got on Dumbledore's radar. When the Death Eaters attack us, the battle ended with a majority of them having their souls torn from their bodies." Krista replied.
"Dumbledore kept that from the order. He said it was the Dementors." Arthur said.
The CEO raised his eyebrow at Arthur. "Are you really surprised he lied?"
"An hour ago I'd have said yes." Arthur replied.
"And now?" Krista inquired.
"Not really surprised he kept it to himself. I really didn't know him as well as I thought." Arthur confessed.
"Bill knew, did he say anything?" Kaiba asked.
Arthur did a double take. "Never. In fact he said he didn't know what happened in Egypt and I believe Bill he has never lied to me."
"Not surprised Bill didn't tell you anything. I figured Dumbledore obliterated that part of his memory. It seems that my assumption was correct." Krista commented.
Arthur looked around to notice that this time he was once again in Malfoy manor. He saw Draco and Snape at the dining room table and from what he could tell Draco was livid.
Arthur watched as Draco hit the table with his fists. The teenage wizard then began yelling. "I think I'm going to be sick! It took all the self-control I could create not to cast the Cruciatus Curse on Zankoo! That man is a monster!"
"Zankoo is the death eater that tried to rape lavender brown correct." Arthur asked.
"Yep and I killed him." Krista stated.
"I'm not sorry you did." Kaiba said.
"How is Lavender doing by the way?" Krista asked.
Arthur shrugged his shoulders. "Don't know. Ron told me broke up with her about a month ago. He couldn't handle her crying every time, she would have a nightmare about that night."
Krista felt her temper snap and yelled. "What an asshole, he has no compassion even for his own girlfriend!"
"Mrs. Kaiba." Arthur said.
Krista took a deep breath to gain control over her temper. "I'm sorry Arthur, I know he is your son and you love him. But I can't stand him."
The trio watched as Snape put a hand on Draco's shoulder. "Draco, sometimes that is the trouble with being a spy."
"This was more than that! That monster beat and raped my cousin when she was fourteen!" Draco yelled.
"Mrs. Kaiba I'm sorry I didn't know that happened to you," said Mr. Weasley. "Did vengeance play a part in your killing of Zankoo."
Krista smirked. "Of course. I used my rage, my thirst for vengeance, and my hatred for Zankoo to amplify my powers to permanently make it so he couldn't ever rape again and it was done with the darkest parts of my magic."
Arthur nodded his head then turned back to look at the vision of Snape with Draco. "I'm well aware of what he did. She told me too." Snape said.
"Godfather, how can you be so calm about this? There is no guarantee that Zankoo won't hurt a student while he is in the castle looking for Krista. We not only have a shit load of Death Eaters we'll have to worry about but now a rapist." Draco said while he pulled out his cell to text Krista.
"You are telling Krista everything aren't you?" Snape said.
"Yep." Draco stated. When he got Krista's response he said. "Oh she is pissed! She says if the Dark Lord wanted to verify if she or Kaiba could kill, he shouldn't have ordered Zankoo to wait to confront her and let him confront her now. She now fears there will be more victims and she fears a student might be one. This year just keeps getting worse."
Arthur pondered for a moment before asking what he knew he must. "Mrs. Kaiba correct me if my assumption is incorrect, but the real reason you all knew about the attack on the school was Draco tipped you off and not a tea leaf reading done by Luna."
"That is correct." Krista replied.
Knowing he would get an honest answer Mr. Weasley asked. "Did you know Greyback was going to show up?"
"No we didn't," said Kaiba.
"Draco didn't know but he sent us word when the werewolf showed up with the Death Eaters." Krista added.
Arthur sighed. "Poor Bill, he won't ever be the same."
Hearing the sadness in Mr. Weasley's voice cased the CEO to say. "But he is alive and you can thank Mokie that your son wasn't killed. Greyback was about to kill Bill when Mokie saw it and stunned the werewolf."
The atmosphere changed and Arthur looked around at the newest scene. "Are we in a bathroom?" He asked.
"Yes, Moaning Myrtle's to be exact." Seto replied.
Arthur took a closer look at the scene to notice that Ginny was making out with Draco. This caused Mr. Weasley to blush crimson. However his embarrassment vanished when he heard Ron yell. "Malfoy, you son of a bitch, take your hands off my sister!"
Draco and Ginny instantly drew their wands pointing them at Ron. "Ron in case you forgot. Draco is my fiancé he is allowed to touch me anywhere and wherever he wants. And there isn't jack shit you can do about it." Ginny said.
"Well you are my sister and I'll defend your honor. You see I think you lied to mum about the whole spell that will end in death if you don't get married. So I'm here to stop it. I've had enough of seeing the two of you all over each other all over the school." Ron said.
"Well if that isn't the pot calling the kettle black." Ginny said. "You and Lavender are like a couple of eels when you make out."
"Weasel, I love your sister and she will be Lady Malfoy get used to it or don't I really don't care. But you can't do anything about it." Draco said.
"Watch me." Ron said as he waved his wand sending a curse at Malfoy that knocked him against the wall. Ginny retaliated by cursing Ron sending him crashing into one of the stalls.
Both wizards stood up from their crashes facing each other. "Ginevra, stand back, I'm going to curse your brother until he is begging for mercy. And I don't want you in the crossfire."
"You can't hurt me without the use of an Unforgivable and you know that would mean a one way ticket to Azkaban." Ron taunted.
"I will be nice and give you 5 seconds to get out of my face or God so help me I will cast the Cruciatus Curse on you." Draco threatened.
"I knew you were a Death Eater like your father, you just admitted you would use an Unforgivable Curse. Bet that just made Ginny come to her senses." Ron said.
"Weasel I'm no Death Eater, I'm something much worse. I'm a pissed off Malfoy who doesn't like having the things I treasure most in danger and you being here is dangerous to Ginevra!" Draco yelled.
"Maybe I should just curse you first, maybe you would like to dangle upside down for a while." Ron rebutted.
Draco let out a taunting laugh. "I'm the Black Dragon which would mean you would find yourself a victim of the curse Yugi put on you where you ran around naked for a month only this time your delusions will last a bit longer since it is seven months until the Winter Solstice."
"What the fuck does that mean Malfoy!" Ron yelled while sending another cure at Malfoy.
Malfoy quickly dodged the curse and sent one of his own at Ron while saying. "It means I'm a duelist from the Underground just like my cousin."
"Yeah right you expect me to believe that, you don't have that ugly bracelet." Ron said while sending yet another curse at Malfoy. Draco sent one at Ron at the exact same time causing both curses to collide with each other redirecting the cruses. The curses ended up hitting several toilets causing the toilets to explode spraying water everywhere.
"I have a duel disk; I just don't wear it all over school." Draco said.
Ron was furious with Draco and yelled. "Sectumsempra!"
Mr. Weasley had to repress the sudden urge to close his eyes as Ron's curse hit Draco dead center of his chest, ripping Malfoy's robes causing several deep cuts across Draco's chest. Draco then fell backwards, landing flat on his back.
Fear tore at Mr. Weasley's heart as he saw Ginny ran up to her beloved only to notice that blood was pouring out of the wounds. She shot Ron a glare as tears of fear formed in her eye. "You asshole, you cast a spell that is most likely going to kill him!"
"I..I..but.." Ron stammered.
If seeing Ron curse Ron was hard it didn't prepare Mr. Weasley for what came next. He saw as Ginny pointed her wand and yell. "Crucio!"
Arthur's jaw dropped in shock at seeing his daughter cursing Ron. "Why wasn't I told!"
"To protect Ginny from being arrested, I altered Ron's memory with a Shadow Spell." Krista explained.
"And Ginny's wand had the spell erased out of it." Seto added.
Arthur was shaking his head as he confessed. "I can't believe my daughter cast that spell."
Krista wanting to help alleviate Arthur's shock said. "Ginny was filled with rage, and fear. And she wanted to hurt Ron physically so that he could know the pain she was feeling emotionally."
As thing suddenly became clear to him, Arthur said. "That is what you mean by seeing the gray where most see black and white. It has to do with the reasoning's behind the magic not the spells itself."
Krista nodded her head, she was pleased by this development. "Now you are starting to understand."
Arthur continued to watch as he saw Ginny stun Ron before she knelt down next to Draco's body. She then placed her arms under his back lifting him up to hold him while she cried. "Hang in there love, I'm pretty sure someone will come soon since I just cast an Unforgiveable Curse."
As if summoned by magic Snape entered the bathroom with his wand drawn. He quickly glanced at the scene. "Miss Weasley I need you to move so that I can cast the counter spell on Draco."
Ginny looked up at Snape. "Professor Snape I'm scared. I'm going to not only be expelled but I just know I'm going to go to Azkaban."
Snape understood Ginny's fear and wanted to reassure her. "I've been keeping an eye on anyone who could be cast with a spell from my book by Mr. Weasley so I saw what he did then what you did and just listen to me carefully. The curses can only be traced if cast by someone with the Trace on them everyone in this room doesn't have the Trace on them you are fine."
"Until Ron regains consciousness and tells everyone what I did." She cried.
Snape knew time was of the essence. "Miss Weasley I need you to move, and text Mrs. Kaiba she knows a spell to alter memories. I won't let you get expelled or go to Azkaban for cursing your brother. I made an Unbreakable Vow to protect Draco and since you are his betrothed by a Betrothal Bond that means I have to protect you too. Now do as I ask."
"Snape saved my daughter by saving Draco after Ron cursed him." Arthur stated.
"Yes he did." Kaiba said.
Arthur was starting to feel overwhelmed by everything he was witnessing. He watched as Krista cast a spell to alter Ron's memory. He then saw how she changed the spell on Ginny's wand.
Arthur then turned to look at Krista. "You really are a powerful sorceress aren't you?"
Krista nodded. "I'm the most powerful magically of all my friends."
"Yet that power doesn't corrupt you." Arthur reasoned.
"No." Krista stated.
Arthur thought for a fraction of a second before asking a question that he wanted an answer to. "You took the job teaching Defense next year to open the students minds to see the gray so that they have a better chance at surviving this war."
Krista smiled. "That was one of the reasons."
Arthur nodded his head as he turned his attentions back to the vision. He watched as Ginny sat down next to Draco and took his hand in hers. "Now will someone please tell me why Dumbledore let that book fall into Ron's hands? Ron was bound to eventually cast that spell. My brother has always been an attack first; ask questions later type of guy."
"It's obvious if you think about it." Krista said.
Draco raised his eyebrows at Krista. "It is."
"Dumbledore knew that in order to have Sensei fulfill his request, then Sensei would need the desire to kill him in order to cast a Killing Curse. With Sensei having an Unbreakable Vow with Narcissa, he knew that Sensei would be watching Draco like a hawk to make sure no harm came to him. He also knew that with Ron's hatred for Draco eventually Draco would be on the receiving end of the curse. By putting Draco's life in mortal danger he did the same to Sensei and since a Slytherin values self preservation, Dumbledore was betting that by putting Draco in danger Sensei will now have the desire to kill him." Krista explained.
Feeling more courageous, Arthur asked the question that he knew he needed an answer to. "After seeing all theses visions, I must know, who killed Dumbledore?"
Krista glanced around to notice that scenery had changed and they were standing on top of the Astronomy tower. "If I'm not mistaken that question will be answered now. Your mind is to the point where it can handle the truth."
Arthur's squinted his eyes to adjust to the night sky of this vision, when he heard a familiar voice. "I knew you would come running." Draco drawled.
"Ah Draco, I was wondering who was up here and conjured the Dark Mark." Dumbledore said.
"It was me. Now prepare to meet your fate. Expelliarmus." When Dumbledore's wand came flying into Draco's hand, Dumbledore started laughing. "Only you would laugh right before you are about to be killed." Draco taunted.
"I take it no one was really killed." Dumbledore inquired.
Draco shrugged. "Don't know, I know I had to leap over a body before coming up here," sneered Draco. "Now back to the business at hand it is time for me to fulfill my orders?"
"Draco, you don't want to kill me." Dumbledore said.
"You think I won't kill you. You sound just like my father." Draco taunted.
"You have made failed attempts all year to kill me. First with a necklace you knew I wouldn't touch. Then a bottle of mead that you poisoned, but cast an Epiphany Charm on the bottle so that I wouldn't drink it after watching and reviewing your other Valentine's Day gifts to me. Leading me to believe that your heart wasn't truly in it." Dumbledore reasoned.
Draco started laughing. "Old man those were just decoys to fuck with you. I was attempting to buy time. I was hoping that curse that has been slowly killing you would finish you off. But I've run out of time so I will now kill you."
"Murder isn't as easy as the innocent think." Dumbledore said.
"This isn't murder but justifiable homicide." Draco explained. "Your death will save the lives of others."
"And how do you justify killing me." Dumbledore asked.
"One you are already dying and I refuse to let my godfather take the heat for killing you with how many people don't trust him no one will buy you asked him to kill you, two my cousin herself said you deserve to surrender your life to pay for the lives that died by your actions. And you know she was correct when she made her final judgment on you. Third as I see it at least two students, have died from your actions. Cedric Digorry and Rebecca Hopkins are the two I know personally but there are probably more." Draco said.
"How am I responsible for Cedric's death?" Dumbledore asked.
"You knew Moody for years, so there wasn't a chance in hell you didn't know or at least suspect that Moody was an imposter during my fourth year. And you already know how my cousin and her gang feel about how your actions led to Rebecca's death so I won't repeat them. And I know that there is at least one other student you plan to sacrifice to bring down the Dark Lord and I'm sure he is hiding underneath his invisibility cloak." Draco said while he turned his head around as if he was looking for someone. "Aren't you, Harry?"
"You aren't actually on bad terms with Harry are you? That whole fight between Mrs. Kaiba and Harry was staged." Dumbledore stated.
Draco snickered. "It was a staged underground duel, yes. And yes Harry is a good friend of mine. One who used to look up to you as a sort of an adopted grandfather."
Dumbledore looked at Draco and said. "So you think I've made a few bad decisions they were all done to help bring down Voldemort."
"I'm not done yet." Draco said. "You even gambled with my life and by association Ginevra's that is unacceptable to me as well. But you want to know the thing I hate most that you did?"
"What's that?" Dumbledore asked.
"Maybe you should take a guess." Draco taunted. "Think really hard on why I chose to send you a copy of Sweeney Todd."
"You wanted to scare me into wanting to drink the mead so I would realize you couldn't kill me." Dumbledore said.
"Old man, I already said the failed attempts on your life I did to fuck with you, to seduce you into a false sense of security." Draco said. "No I purposely chose Sweeney Todd because you remind me of one of the characters in it."
"If you think I'm anything like Todd..." Dumbledore started.
"I don't think you are like Todd but the judge. You manipulate situations for your own reasons and I'm sick of it. But you had to take that one-step further and tried to read Ginevra's mind without her permission. I define that as mental rape. You should have left the mind of my beloved alone. Your time for sacrificing and using the students as pawns is over." Draco pointed his own wand at Dumbledore's heart and said. "Arvada Kadrva!"
A blast of green light flew from Draco's wand hitting Dumbledore in the chest. Dumbledore then fell backwards off the tower. "I'll be nice and let you be buried with your wand." Draco muttered as he tossed Dumbledore's wand over the side of the castle.
The astronomy tower vanished and the three found themselves back in the living room of Kaiba Manor.
"Harry saw Draco kill Dumbledore, but lied and said it was Snape." Arthur stated in a confused tone.
"Severus asked Harry to tell people that he killed Dumbledore." Krista explained.
"Luna knows the truth doesn't she, that is why she came up with the idea of the Polyjuice potion theory to throw people off." The elder Weasley reasoned.
Kaiba smirked. "Correct."
"Now that you know the truth, what do you have to say?" Krista asked.
"I understand why Dumbledore was killed, and can understand where casting an Unforgivable Curse is justified. I just wish I could tell Molly the truth." Arthur confessed.
"I know you do, but the fact that Draco is our spy working to bring down the Dark Lord from within can't be passed on to others it would put both Draco and your daughter's lives in jeopardy. You were warned what would happen if you speak about this meeting to anyone other than the two of us in this room, I suggest you heed our warning." Kaiba said with a glare that sent shivers down Mr. Weasley's spine.
Arthur turned to face Krista and said. "You care about Ginny and Draco don't you?"
"Very much, they are family." Krista said.
"For a Kaiba, family is everything." Seto sneered.
Arthur nodded his head. He too felt family was very important. He then looked into Krista's eyes. "When you see Ginny, tell her if the war is over by her wedding day, I want to walk her down the aisle. I couldn't ask a braver, more honorable man for my daughter to marry."
"I'm sure she will be pleased when I tell her." Krista said.
Mr. Weasley let out a huge sigh. "I'm open to suggestions on what to tell Molly."
Kaiba crossed his arms over his chest while giving Arthur his signature smirk. "You wanted to find out an answer on whether your daughter was a Death Eater by having my beautiful wife do a tarot reading. And the cards told her Ginny isn't a Death Eater."
"So lie my ass off." Arthur said.
"Exactly." Kaiba replied.
Arthur had one more question burning in his mind so he asked in a timid tone. "Mr. Kaiba, now that the Ministry has fallen what becomes of my contract with Kaiba Corp, it isn't like you still need me as your spy on the Ministry. Since I'm not even going to be allowed there, while the Death Eaters are in charge. I'm known as the biggest Blood Traitor in the Wizarding World."
Kaiba smirked, he just loved when an employee squirmed in his presence. "You will be working from home or if you want you can do your work at London's KC tower, I'll send some new assignments for you by way of your interdepartmental e-mail. And your salary will remain the same."
Arthur let out the breath he didn't even realize he was holding. "Good, I thought I might be fired."
"No I only fire incompetent employees, and you are not incompetent." Kaiba said.
"I look forward to my new work. Oh and sometime after this war will you get my duel disk to work. I want to play with the holograms." Arthur asked.
"You broke it?" Kaiba asked.
Arthur shook his head. "Mrs. Kaiba didn't adapt it for magical environments and I don't know how, been trying but I can't get it to work."
Kaiba laughed. "I'll send Remus to your house for the duel disk adaptations."
Arthur's eyes popped out of his head. "Remus works for Kaiba Corp too?"
"Yes." Seto replied.
"Mr. Weasley to get the holograms to work you'll need to buy yourself some Duel Monster cards." Krista suggested.
"I don't need Duel Monster cards, I'm want to see if it will work with my collection of chocolate frog cards." without another word Arthur disapparated out of Kaiba Manor, leaving Krista and Kaiba laughing at the idea of Arthur's newest plan for playing with a duel disk.
