CHAPTER 22

THEODORE

Warning: Physical Violence and Harassment

"Cornfoot, is everything ready for tomorrow night?" Theo asked Stephen Cornfoot, a classmate and infamous Ravenclaw dropout of their year while sitting behind his study desk; in the Tent which he had set up in the middle of a Fidelius protected campsite near Stonehenge.

"Yes Sir, the Veela girl is still resisting with the initial blood tests and gets violently defensive when we try to check the magic levels of the other brats. Do you want me to Imperio, her?" Cornfoot asked to which Theo responded with an icy glare.

"Cornfoot I know you failed your NEWTs but for Merlin do not show your idiocy publically, I have kept you and that mental bitch, Vane here to control this group of brainwashed magic school rejects and not to give me suggestions. You can't Imperio the Harpy as it will ruin her magical state and make her blood unsuitable for the Ritual. Use physical force if necessary, but I want her fingers pricked, till we are certain that she has enough creature blood running through her veins."

"Of course sir I will get right to it and what about the rest of the kids?" Cornfoot asked nervously, to which Theo answered with a sadistic smirk on his face, "Don't worry I am going to visit the little lambs this afternoon."

With that said, Cornfoot scurried of leaving Theo alone in the tent. 'This is the perfect time to revise the plans, Mum you are going to be yourself again soon' Theo thought as he opened a black journal lying on the desk.

Theo had worked on the layout for more than three years after he cracked the runic enchantment on a similar box with Ancient Sanskrit and Sumerian runes. Now was the time to set the ritual in motion which he had tried at least a dozen times with trafficked magical Sudanese children he had bought and he also used more than a few female sentient creatures.

There was also the part where Theo told Blaise about his current location, a clever ploy on his part, he was sure by now Potter would be planning his murder with that bastard Weasel and Mudblood cunt Granger.

After all, Theo was informed by one of the Nott elves at the Zabini Villa in Italy about Potter's unexpected visit with Daphne and Weasel, Potter in his opinion sure supported a Slytherin mindset even if he did act as a foolhardy Gryffindor.

Theo deliberately chose to sacrifice his previous classmate's children because according to him revenge is a dish best served cold. Vengeance was not the primary motive in Theo's mind; it was restoring his mother's health by reverse-engineering the Curse of the Cat Goddesses which was in the Egyptian Scroll Box but who would leave the golden opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.

Theo's grudge against Ronald Weasley was a constant gossip topic during his Hogwarts days; it was true that Theo fancied Sophia Roper, an airhead with a nice body; he had gotten her eventually utilizing a quick Imperious and then a strong Oblivio. It had been well worth the effort for straightening the traitorous girl.

Granger had been another eyesore, in Theo's life, the Mudblood always outshined him in every subject and then she started dating Blaise, Theo's only friend. He made sure she knew her place when Blaise was not present. Eventually, that relationship ended and it had made Theo claim his one true victory over Granger.

Draco Malfoy, Daddy's boy, was a person Theo despised even more than the entire Golden trio combined. Theo was constantly reminded that he was Adelaide Zabini's charity case by Malfoy, who loved to flaunt his parents and wealth in front of him,

'It would be a pleasure cutting the wrists of his son', Theo's last thought before he shut the journal and made his way out of his tent and towards where the captured brats were kept.

"Step aside moron" Theo commanded the white-robed wizard standing at the entrance of a dark brown tent. When he did enter the tent after Crucioing the dunderhead who was blocking his way, he came across a scene which would warm anybody's cold heart but not his.

A fourteen-year-old blonde girl was acting as a human shield between nine small kids and Cornfoot and Vane. Then she said after spotting him, "Please I beg you to let the others go, they are not even old enough to attend Hogwarts", Theo had to give it to Victoire, the girl knew who was the boss by one glance, quite perceptive.

"Shut up! Stop whining in front of Mr Nott" Cornfoot cried but Victoire's eyes were still on Theo. After a minute he finally answered, "No, your pitiful request is denied, I need the kids for the ritual as they will act as the anchors which would sustain it."

Then a small squeaky voice came from a redhead girl who was clinging to Victoire's right leg, "Daddy would save us" Theo could not help himself he started laughing, "Little girl, you are Potter's daughter right, named after his dead mother, oh how sweet"

"Let me tell you something brats, your parents might come to save you but I assure you they will only find dried up bloodless husks by the time I am done with you." "Also my followers have gathered quite the collection, heirs, to such diverse magical heritage a present here."

Theo then one by one looked at each child with a critical eye as if critiquing a priced artefact at an exhibition, "Let see we have Greengrass, Abbott, Longbottom, Scamander, Lovegood, Malfoy, Delacour, Patil, Potter and of course Weasley. Though two of you do have Granger and Thomas's dirty blood plaguing you, I still don't mind as both of them are somewhat talented Mudbloods"

"Do you know why I chose all of you for this great feat of Blood magic? One criterion was age, but the second was the innate magical abilities of your different bloodlines that you all come from, plus obviously, I don't like your parents but that is a given"

At this, all of the kids gave him scared and confused looks except Victoire who was giving Theo of the look of pure loathing and hatred.

"So now we are all going to have a quick family magic lesson than Stephen and Romilda here will continue with their checks and if any of you spoilt brats' resists, Victoire here will bare your punishment," Theo emphasised his point by slapping Victoire hard and she fell to the ground clutching her cheek.

The other children had tears in their eyes as they rushed to surround the older girl.

"Ok now that's clear, let's start with the baby boy Alex here, in my opinion, Daphne's accident with Potter, a rare combination of blood, As Greengrass line is world-famous for their Potions which Daphne inherited but her talent in spell casting and Curse breaking surpassed that. Then as for Potter aspect, while Potters were renowned warders and Transfiguration Experts but Harry Potter is his Mudblood mother's son with a speciality in charms, battle and Healing spells. Therefore his five-year-old boy is perfect for breaking a magical seal bound with Shezmu blood." Theo finished while staring directly at Alex.

Theo then moved his gaze towards Lily.

"Potter's daughter with Ginny Weasley, a witch with such strong and powerful magic that even fully trained Aurors were defeated by her when she was just a trainee, so you little girl would satisfy the Cat Sidhe."

"As for the rest, each of you has enough magical abilities to sustain a powerful ritual, it's a shame such talent and unique combinations of bloodlines would not see the light of day after tomorrow."

Theo made his way out of the tent after saying the last line and looked back only once at Cornfoot and Vane, "You two, I need the report by evening, so if you want to not experience my new blood curse, you both should give me quick and favourable results."

Just as Theo was about to step out of the tent he heard Victoire shout, "You are a monster."
