Ch. 42
Lady Greengrass
Dolores was dragged by the centaurs for half an hour before they dropped her out in the middle of the forest. The evil toad of a woman angrily got up and started stomping her way back to her classroom and over to her office, planning to flay Harry Potter when she confronted him. As soon as she approached her classroom door, some kind of trap door opened up and made the toad fall through and onto some sort of chute. After sliding for several minutes, Dolores found herself in the school dungeons when she landed on a chair. Then she was stunned and bound in magic suppression rope before she could do anything. Once she came to, Dolores looked up and saw a woman with blonde hair in a bun and angry bright-green eyes glaring at her, and arms folded across her chest. The evil toad of a woman widened her eyes in fear because the woman before her was Lady Alexis Greengrass, or Lex (as she was known by her friends).
"Don't speak, you vile woman!" Lex growled at Dolores when she opened her mouth to speak. "You've been treating Harry like utter shit during your bloody time here. He's been secretly meeting my daughter Tori since the Christmas holidays of his second year, which was also Tori's first year. She even saw those filthy scars on the back of his hand and wrote to me to inform me of that. Before Harry and his friends returned from the Department of Mysteries, me and some of my co-workers from St. Mungo's were called over to examine them and I saw those scars for myself. I knew right away that you were making Harry write lines with a blood quill."
"What's it to you and Astoria?" Umbridge foolishly replied. "Potter has been telling lies about a certain dark lord having returned. Astoria will be in big trouble once…"
Lex angrily stomped toward the toad and smacked her across the face really hard. Dolores squeezed her eyes shut tightly as her cheek stung in pain due to where Lex's hand smacked her. The evil toad seethed in pain before opening her eyes again to see Lex's glare.
"Don't you dare attempt to punish my daughter for doing the right thing!" snapped Lex. "It was bad enough that you threatened to do the same to my other daughter, Daphne, if she even dared to be within five feet of Harry. Didn't you forget Tori was sorted into Ravenclaw? I was being rhetorical with that question. And yes, the dark lord has returned, Fudge saw him with his own eyes and he's facing his punishment of getting sacked. I'm not even close to being finished with you, but there are several more incompetent adults and a horrible Slytherin boy I must deal with, too."
As soon as Lex finished that part of her rant, several of the school's house elves brought out not only Albus Dumbledore, but Severus Snape, Draco and Lucius Malfoy too. The four were also tied up in magic suppression rope. Harry stepped out of the shadows with Tori (who looked like a younger version of her mother, but her hair was hanging down). Lex angrily walked up to Dumbledore at such a fast pace that the headmaster cowered a bit. He rarely dealt with something like that and Lily was the last one to do such a thing.
"I can't believe you would send Harry to live with his muggle relatives, Albus!" snapped Lex. "Why did you do it?"
"Harry was safer with them than anywhere else," Albus claimed in a nervous voice, sweating profusely at the same time. "There are blood charms around there to keep Harry safe as long as Petunia takes him in willingly and treats him like her own son, and that Harry calls Privet Drive home."
"I don't believe that for one second, you ole coot!" Lex shouted in Dumbledore's face. "Lily and James never wanted Harry to go to the Dursleys and you directly defied their wishes. Lily and I had been friends since our first year and you know it. She even told me that Harry was to stay as far away from the Dursleys as possible. What's worse is that you ignored Harry's protests about returning to Privet Drive and just assumed he was exaggerating. One of the school house elves even brought me a document of your Greater Good plans here."
Lex showed it to the now-utterly terrified headmaster, since it made him realize that Lex had irrefutable evidence that he was committing crimes. Dolores was indifferent about that and was assuming Harry was claiming to be abused to get attention. Severus widened his black eyes in confusion while Draco and Lucius widened theirs in fear. They never knew that Harry's life outside of Hogwarts was horrible, since all the books about the Boy-Who-Lived said that he lived in a castle and was doted on.
"Let's see what this says, shall we, Albus?!" Lex went on, while she looked over the document. Then she furiously said, "You were even giving drinks to Minerva and Remus spiked with loyalty potions just so they'd stay loyal to you instead of doing the right thing. You and Molly Weasley even planned to have Harry marrying her daughter in the future by spiking his drinks with Amortentia keyed to Ginevra, and spiking Arthur's drinks with loyalty potions keyed to Molly to make sure he never finds out the real plans. You even planned to have Harry suffer bullying treatment by allowing the wrongdoers to get away with their actions with that whole second chances bullshit."
"We must give second chances." Albus argued.
"SILENCE, YOU OLE COOT!" Lex screamed in the headmaster's face. Then she continued her rant in an angry indoor voice, "You interrupt me again and I'll do worse for you. Now, that whole malarkey of giving second chances is so bogus because some people will take advantage of it, meaning those people don't deserve it. Examples include you, Lucius, Draco and Dolores here. What Harry went through this year is the final straw. The fact that you allow Draco and his friends to bully others and unjustly have the victims punished. Now it's time for Draco here to get his long, overdue just rewards."
"What… What will you d-do to m-m-meeeee?!" Draco asked the Greengrass matriarch, in a terrified voice.
"I think Harry and Tori here have something in mind for you, young man." Lex told the Malfoy scion in an irritable voice.
Draco widened his eyes and opened his mouth in fear at the revelation, especially when he saw Harry whispering into Tori's ear. Then the youngest Greengrass girl walked up to Draco while glaring at him before smacking him across the face. Lucius felt a wave of fear throughout his body to see his son getting smacked by Tori, especially because it packed quite a bit of power. Severus had a similar reaction because it made him visualize Lily doing the same to him.
"That's for all the times you put your hands where they shouldn't have been," Tori fiercely told a terrified Draco. "Such as my breasts, my arse, and rubbing my upper legs in such a lustful manner! You have such a tendency to treat a lady like she's a trophy you don't deserve to have a romantic partner. That smack was also to teach you a lesson on bullying Harry especially and Snape unjustly punishing him while you get off scot-free."
"You touched my daughter in inappropriate places, Draco?!" Lex hollered in his face in a furious manner. "I think Dennis would like to have a few choice words for you."
"Looks like your chances for romance just went down the drain!" Harry sneered at Draco.
"You are in just as much trouble as your son, Lucius!" Lex growled at the Malfoy patriarch. "Was it your intentions for your only son to be such a bully? If so, you just found yourself in deep shit. Was it also your intentions to have Draco treat ladies like a trophy or some prize to be won? If so, then you're being such a terrible example to your son. You also get people to obey you through use of bribes, threats and force. You also tend to abuse your positions just to get yourself somewhere."
"Did you even think about how much I hated Draco treating me like a trophy?!" Tori screamed in Lucius' face. "No, that's because your son whines to you like a spoiled brat and uses those pathetic 'wait till my father hears about this' or 'don't you dare defy me or I'll get father to sort this out' excuses anytime he never got his way. Draco even tries to use his friends to threaten me into being within his presence."
"And how could you just ignore Draco and his pals bullying Harry and his friends?!" Lex growled in Severus' terrified face. "A real teacher does their job properly and you're not even half that because you're guilty of multiple counts of oppression, same with Dolores. I'd be having a great laugh to see Lily confronting you for treating her son like an exact clone of James. You even gave Draco the best grades even though he never deserved them due to his lack of a good work ethic. At the same time, you also failed Harry and his friends unjustly. Worst of all, you failed almost every non-Slytherin student to the point where there are hardly any healers at St. Mungo's because you're too much of a shitass and spiteful person."
"Keep that trap of your shut, you filthy toad!" Harry and Tori shouted in Dolores' face, when she opened her mouth to speak.
"That's right, Dolores," Lex told her in an irritable voice. "I gave you an arse-ripping before dragging it down here. Now it's time for you all to get your just rewards."
Harry and Tori approached Draco, untied him and dragged him toward the middle of the room. Then they cast some restraining charms on the Malfoy scion as they put him over a chair while being forced to lay on his stomach. Then Harry handed Tori a belt and then she began giving him spankings with it, while Harry cast a spell to make Draco's shoes and socks disappear before casting a heating charm on the soles of his feet. Draco started crying as his feet weren't only experiencing the burning feeling, but that his arse was now in pain because of the spankings from the belt he received from Tori.
"This is to teach you the phrase 'what goes around, comes around,' Malfoy!" said Harry in a cold voice, ignoring Draco's cries for mercy. "Since you always had the indecency to touch Tori in inappropriate places, especially without her permission."
Lex cast a hallucination charm on Severus to make him see Lily's angry glare while crossing her arms and tapping her left foot on the ground repeatedly. In Severus' hallucination, more and more angry Lilys began spawning to the point where the potions teacher eventually died of fright. By then, Harry and Tori were finished with giving Draco his well-deserved punishment. Then they turned their rage on Dumbledore (who was already sweating profusely). Lex grabbed some licorice snaps out of her pocket and tossed them towards the headmaster, with Harry and Tori casting enlarging charms on them to make the snapping candy life-sized. The enlarged licorice snaps began chomping on Albus just as Harry, Tori and Lex turned their attention to Lucius. Harry cast the full body-bind on Lucius to ensure he couldn't escape, then Lex and Tori began giving Lucius a 'makeover.' When they finished, Lex held a handheld mirror out for Lucius so he could look as his new 'makeover.'
"What the…!" Lucius exclaimed when he saw himself in the mirror.
The 'makeover' included Lucius being given eyeshadow, lipstick, pink highlights on his hair (which was now in a high ponytail), and coloured eyebrows. Then Lex cast the transfiguration spell on Dolores, turning her into a pink toad. Humiliated, toad Dolores tried hopping away just as the life-sized licorice snaps consumed the headmaster. Then one of the licorice snaps consumed toad Umbridge in just one bite. Then the house elves tied the male Malfoys back up in the magic suppression rope and apparated them away to Amelia's office at the ministry to have them arrested.
"Once the Malfoys are in custody," Lex informed Harry and Tori. "I'll give Amelia the evidence that'll also get Molly and Ginevra arrested. You two shall have some alone time now."
Once Lex apparated away and over to Amelia's office at the ministry, Dobby apparated Harry and Tori over to the Room of Requirement (which turned into a place for a hot tub). Now that the corrupt officials were taken care of, the wizarding world was finally becoming a better place. For Harry, he didn't have to worry about Umbridge breathing down his neck, giving him unjust detentions, his lifelong quidditch ban being lifted, and no more educational decrees. Peace was finally restored throughout Hogwarts.
The End
