Harry Potter, My Way
Chapter 25
"I am sorry for your loss" said Dumbledore; he was just being told of Harry's death.
"I and my husband would like some time off" said Perenelle quietly it looked like she had been up all night crying.
"Of course, take all the time you want" said Dumbledore, he looked stricken himself, but of course not for the young man. Just what he thought was going to be getting sent to the Ministry. He needed to speak to a goblin and fast.
"Thank you for understanding" said Perenelle leaving the room.
She met them all back at the room, as soon as she entered they all looked at her curiously.
"He bought it" she said.
"Good" said Nick Grimly.
"What confuses me is how stricken he was," sighed Perenelle "Perhaps he still cares at the moment"
"No he doesn't! Harry threatened him with sending things to the Ministry should he die…he was blackmailing the headmaster" said Severus.
Nick turned his furious eyes on Harry.
"I had to stop myself being kicked out somehow!" said Harry trying to defend himself.
Nick glared but said no more, what is done is done no point in crying over spilt milk.
"Hm…right now Severus is the potion ready?" asked Nicolas.
"Yes, here it's cool enough to drink now" said Severus handing it over.
"Do I really have to?" sighed Harry "I really don't like the idea of being buried alive"
"You have to!" said Severus stricken "Voldemort will want proof"
"Fine!" groaned Harry his life sucked.
"Bottoms up" said Severus handing the potion over taking the cork out of it.
Closing his eyes, he drank the potion, grimacing at the taste; the vial fell from his fingers. He felt himself falling; he was feeling really sleepy, all of a sudden. He was never aware that Nick, Perenelle and Severus all watched him stop breathing.
"I've never seen the potion in effect before" sighed Severus.
"I haven't either" said Nick.
"I don't like the thought of him alone with them Ministry workers all week" sighed Perenelle.
"Ah about that, we can just demand his body for the week, it's an old tradition but its not frowned upon" said Nick leaving out 'YET' knowing they didn't want to say anything to Severus until he learned to close his mind.
"I suppose" said Perenelle.
A knock surrounded the room; Severus jumped and hid, quickly as he could. Nick laid the boy out as if they had been crying over him all night. Making sure everything else was in place so they didn't suspect anything.
"We are here to officially see to the deceased" said the man respect lacing his words.
"Come on in" said Nick his eyes were red rimmed.
They did what they did best, a spell later they confirmed that Harry Flame had died via poison. A time came up, and Nick had to use his magic to manipulate the time showing. They let out a sigh when it worked, when they spelled Harry into the air Perenelle sobbed.
"I want him here for the week!" sobbed Perenelle.
"Ma'am? I'm sorry he has to come with us" said the man soothingly.
"Actually there is a law that can let us keep him" said Nick with a frown.
"There is sir, if you wish it then I can do so" said the man honouring their request.
"Then we keep him" said Nick.
"Yes we will come and get him just before the funeral, we can arrange it if you like" said the man softly.
"No! no we will do it" said Nick softly.
"Very well, I shall record it in the archives at the Ministry of Magic" said the man, he didn't note anything pacific to indicate that they did it. "Of course you will be visited, also everyone else, after all this is a murder investigation"
"Of course, there is no one that wants this murderer caught more then me and my wife" said Flamel his face a mask of pure anger and grief.
"Goodbye" said Flamel closing the door once they were far enough down.
"Phew, that was close" said Severus rubbing away sweat on his forehead.
"I think they bought it" said Nick.
"Are we going to keep him dead?" said Severus "The potion? Are we just going to keep him like that? Or let him alive again then give him it again".
"No just keep him like that, using that potion too much will kill you" said Flamel.
"Yes sir," said Severus.
"Go and get some sleep!" said Perenelle.
"I cant sleep" said Severus "Not since…" Severus swallowed bile in his throat.
"Here!" said Nick, passing him a sleeping potion, he too carried a potion bag around with him.
"Take this, now go you will have to show your face," said Nick.
"Fine," sighed Severus thanking the man for the potion before leaving.

"I would like to speak to Shiekerack" said Dumbledore powerful and demanding as ever.
"Come sir," said the goblin in question. He was the Dumbledore accounts manager, and quite high up. No one questioned him when he demanded something.
"What is the matter?" asked the goblin as soon as the door was sealed and warded.
"I need you to stop someone's will or change it!" said Dumbledore "Can it be done"
"It can…but I'm not sure if I can do it without being caught" said the goblin frowning.
"Do it! There will be a pensive somewhere in Harry Flame's will, get rid of it by any means necessary or you wont be manager of the oldest purest accounts" said Dumbledore.
"Are you threatening me?" asked the goblin with a growl - no goblin liked being blackmailed.
"No! if the contents of the pensive were ever revealed I would be sent to Azkaban for sure. And when that happens the Ministry closes your accounts!" said Dumbledore.
"I'll see what I can do" said the goblin.
