The Corruption of Lily Potter

Chapter 21

The Serpent Awakens: Part 7

(A Lestrange Christmas)

The very morning after-Diagon Alley

Thaddeus stood where Harry had been just hours before he disappeared. He was surrounded by both Augusta and Alice Longbottom, both of them looking very angry at what they were all just told. Just before the shops closed, Harry was kidnapped along with Tonks by a mysterious witch, a fact that both Dumbledore and Fudge were somewhat pleased by, though they did not show it. The Headmaster and the Minister were about fifty feet away from the scene, talking with Madam Bones and of all people, Lucius Malfoy. Dumbledore was quite better at hiding his emotion, but Thaddeus knew that Dumbledore was pleased about this. Thaddeus wasn't worried about them, though, as he was more concerned about the information he had been getting from the ghosts who swarmed Diagon Alley. Most of them did not directly witness Harry and Tonks getting abducted, but there were a couple of them that did, with one recognizing the culprit.

"Are you getting anything, Thaddeus?" Alice asked quietly, hoping that Harry was alright.

"Yes, I just found out something very interesting," Thaddeus smiled, turning away from Madam Malkin's and facing Dumbledore and Fudge. At that moment, Dumbledore and Fudge approached the Longbottom ladies and Thaddeus, with Dumbledore smiling sweetly at all three of them.

"This is a tremendous tragedy, Dowager Longbottom," Fudge said, trying to keep a somber tone. However, it was quite obvious that Fudge was very pleased with this event. "I assure you that I will not rest until the culprit is brought to justice in front of the entire Wizengamot."

"I am not worried about that right now, Minister," Augusta angrily snapped at Fudge, clearly showing her anger for what happened. "I want Harry back safely and enjoying the Christmas holiday with his family."

"I know how angry you are, Augusta, but you are not Harry's family," Dumbledore chimed in, using a calming tone. "Now it's true that Alice is Harry's godmother, and that you used that to claim temporary custody of the boy, but his true family is his Aunt Petunia and her husband Vernon Dursley."

"How dare you say that?!" Alice shouted, practically getting right in front of Dumbledore. This shocked everyone there, as Alice was not known to shout at anyone, especially in anger. "All that vile and despicable man and woman have done is torture and abuse that poor boy, and their son has done nothing but try to bully Harry every chance he has. We are his true family, Dumbledore, and shame on you for even thinking otherwise."

"Now's not the time to argue about this," Fudge calmly told Alice. "Right now, we need to find Mr. Potter and Miss Tonks as soon as possible. However, we must prepare ourselves for the worst, that they might already be dead or that we will never find them."

"The latter may be more plausible, Minister," Dumbledore said, a smirk clearly visible on his face. "Allow me to remind you that it was just last month that we discovered that young Harry Potter is a Parselmouth, which means that his lordships could be denied. This might make him decide to leave the country, with Miss Tonks agreeing to go with him. I suspect that he came here last night to inform Divia Patil of his intentions and that he would summon her and her daughters when he was in a safe place to do so."

"That is, by far, the most absurd thing that I have ever heard of," Thaddeus said after a short pause. "Harry has no reason to run away from the Longbottoms, especially for what you have just said. The goblins can certify Harry's lordships, without Ministry interference, whenever they choose to. It is the Ministry of Magic's responsibility to provide an ample reason to disqualify said wizard from his lordships, and Harry being a Parselmouth does not qualify as one."

"And what if it is proven that he's responsible for the attacks at Hogwarts?" Fudge frowned directly in Thaddeus' face. "We already know that he's a heir of Salazar Slytherin, and with the fact that he's also a Parselmouth, I see little to disprove his guilt."

"Well, if that was the case, then why didn't you incarcerate young Harry after Halloween, Minister Fudge?" Augusta's anger was at a breaking point when she literally got between Thaddeus and Fudge and said to Fudge. "There's no actual proof that Harry committed any such acts, and the last I heard, there were witnesses around Harry during the first actual attack."

"We can debate about this later," Thaddeus said, more calm than he expected himself to be. "Minister Fudge, if there is nothing else, I suggest that we focus on a possible culprit for this abduction. I have talked to several ghosts in the area, and they told me that both Mr. Potter and Miss Tonks were abducted by a tall, slender brunette witch. One of these ghosts recognized the witch as Bellatrix Black. Oops, I'm sorry, I meant Bellatrix Lestrange."

Both Fudge and Dumbledore took a step back at hearing Bellatrix's name. "T-that's preposterous!" Fudge stammered a bit. There was noticeable fear on the Minister's face. "Bellatrix Lestrange is dead! She died in Azkaban prison a decade ago."

"Of this I am aware, Minister, but I assure you that that is false," Thaddeus replied, a small smile forming on his lips. "The second eldest sister to the House of Black is alive and well, as well as free as a bird from both your and Professor Dumbledore's eyes."

"Tell me, Professor Prendergast, why should we believe this information?" Dumbledore asked, trying to keep his composer but was obviously reacting to this information. "Allow me to remind everyone that while it is known that Professor Prendergast can see and speak to ghosts, no one here can do the same, and lack the necessary items to make them appear before us. So, unless Professor Prendergast can verify this information, then we have no reason to believe that this is true."

Thaddeus smiled even more as he pulled out a small yellow pouch from his purple coat. He then opened it and pulled out what looked to Dumbledore and Fudge to be sand from it. Then, in a showy motion, Thaddeus threw the sand over where Harry was abducted. A moment later, several ghosts, four female and three male appeared around where Thaddeus threw the sand.

"Will the one who saw Bellatrix Lestrange, also known as Bellatrix Black, please float over to Minister Fudge and Headmaster Dumbledore." Thaddeus smiled boldly now as a light-blonde haired female floated over to the two wizards. After a moment or two, all of the ghosts faded and both Dumbledore and Fudge equally looking dumbfounded at Thaddeus. Thaddeus simply took one step forward and said to both men, "Ghosts have no reason to lie to the living, gentlemen. They can, but I assure you that lies have no purpose to the dead. Now, if you would excuse us, we would like to continue searching for Harry elsewhere."

Thaddeus turned and left both Dumbledore and Fudge practically speechless, rejoining both Alice and Augusta and motioning them towards Gringotts. After the three of them left earshot of both Dumbledore and Fudge, Augusta frowned at Thaddeus and said, "Were you overplaying your hand, or trying to piss me off, by mentioning Bellatrix Lestrange as one of the Black sisters?"

"Neither, my Lady," Thaddeus answered, turning to her and bowing solemnly as he did. "However, we both know the legacy of the Black witches in the Coven, and if any one of them wishes to rejoin, then all leaders of the Coven must bow to them as their superior."

"I assure you that will not happen, ghost seer," Augusta angrily said as she glared at Thaddeus. "I will be open to accepting Andromeda, or even Narcissa, as leaders to the Coven, but Bellatrix has no right to claim such a role. You weren't here eleven years ago, when I looked upon my son's corpse, and saw what her, her husband, her brother-in-law, and Crouch Jr. did to my beloved son."

"I'm sorry, Head Voice, but you forget yourself," Thaddeus stopped in his tracks and faced Augusta fully. "The Black witches are considered royalty among the Coven, and if one rejoins, their past crimes are instantly forgiven. Only a direct descendant of Morgan Le Fey has more importance to us. Also, let me remind you, that without the witches of the House of Black, the Coven wouldn't exist here and now."

"Can we talk about this later, please," Alice asked, noticing that both Dumbledore and Fudge were watching them. "Mr. Prendergast, tell me what your plan is please."

"I'm going to speak with the Goblin King about Bellatrix Black, and see if he can help us find her," Thaddeus said, taking a calming breath. "I suggest that both you and Lady Longbottom go and see Divia in case I can't get any information from him. If worse comes to worse, we might need to rely on her slave bond with Harry to find him."

After Thaddeus, Alice, and Augusta left them, both Dumbledore and Fudge watched them carefully. "Prendergast is becoming more trouble than he's worth," Fudge said, his face becoming red from his anger rising. "What are we going to do if Bellatrix Lestrange kills Potter and Tonks? The Longbottoms will be in an uproar over it."

"If that is the case, then we will proceed as planned," Dumbledore calmly said, his face still frowning after the interaction with Thaddeus. "All we need is someone we can vilify so we can unite the Wizarding World behind me. However, I do not believe Bellatrix will kill Harry Potter. After all, we would have already found his body if that was the case. To Bellatrix, Harry Potter is the only wizard who stands in the way of Voldemort's return."

Fudge nodded his understanding, then bowed to Dumbledore before Disaparating away. Dumbledore stood there alone for a moment, keeping his eyes locked on Thaddeus as the American wizard went into Gringotts. Dumbledore frowned more intently at him with a thought in his head speaking louder than the rest, 'I won't have you interfere with my plans, Thaddeus Flamel. You and your Coven will meet a violent end if you do.'

Dumbledore then Disapparated back to Hogwarts to begin preparing for the next part of his plan.

Hours later-An Undisclosed Location

"Wakey, wakey, Harry," A feminine voice roused Harry from his dark slumber. As he opened his eyes, a full, aching pain throbbed across his forehead, and his body felt like it was whacked by one of Vernon's belts. Wherever he was, there was no light, but as he tried moving, he felt a cold stone floor underneath his body, and he could feel with his feet that he was next to a corner.

After a moment, Harry heard several knocks against a door a few inches away from where his head was laying. Harry's eyes became adjusted to the darkness as he assumed that he was in some sort of closet. As he tried to move, he quickly discovered that he was tied up, clearly wrapped up in some kind of restraint, though he couldn't tell what kind of bindings wrapped him.

"Are you awake yet, Harry?" The female voice said, sounding very amused at herself. "Nyphi is, and I assume your dear departed mum is too."

Harry suddenly began remembering what had happened in crystal detail. He was doing last minute Christmas shopping with Tonks guarding him and his mom floating above them when both he and Tonks were wrapped up in a rug that they had walked on and some unknown gas had knocked them both out cold.

"Who are you?" Harry had finally asked. "Where's Tonks?"

"Finally!" The voice said, sounding cheerful. The door opened afterward, letting in a dim light to Harry to finally see where he was. He was right that he was in a closet, and that he was tied up, very much in the same manner the Chasers did to Hermione. Harry looked at the woman who had opened the door to see a very tall, slender brunette with wild, curly hair and brown eyes, though Harry couldn't really tell from his view. The woman was wearing a thin, black nightgown, which was very revealing for anyone to see through. She wasn't wearing anything underneath, leaving her flesh bare for anyone to see. "I was beginning to think that you wouldn't wake up at all. That rug of mine has helped ward off intruders to my property for years."

"Who are you?" Harry asked again. "Where's Tonks?"

"Pardon me, where are my manners?" The woman laughed. "Bellatrix Lestrange is what most people call me, but for you, I prefer you to refer to me as Bellatrix Black; especially since you are the owner of Morgan Le Fey's wand."

Harry frowned and tried to struggle against the bindings, but they had him tied up pretty good. He then looked at the floor around him to see if his wand was anywhere he could get to, causing another laugh from Bellatrix.

"Are you looking for your wand, Harry?" Bellatrix laughed as she pulled out his wand from seemingly nowhere. "Do you honestly believe that I would be foolish enough to let you hold on to the very wand that belonged to the greatest witch in history: Morgan Le Fey?"

"That wand belongs to me!" Harry said defiantly, his eyes glaring at Bellatrix as best as he could. "It chose me, therefore you have no right to it."

"Is that a fact, Harry?" Bellatrix kneeled down in front of Harry's head and grabbed his hair to pull his head up. She smiled sinisterly into Harry's eyes as she continued, "Do you know of the legend about this wand? I'm quite sure that you should know about this wand you claim to be yours."

Harry looked angrily at Bellatrix, but had to admit to himself that he had no idea what she was talking about. While it was true that the wand chose him, other than the fact that he knew that it belonged to Morgan Le Fey and it had two cores inside of it. Harry did not know of any legend about his wand, but that didn't mean that it didn't have one.

"My, my. I take it that you haven't heard of this wand's legend," Bellatrix laughed again, this time more light-hearted than the last bout of laughter from her. "I'm surprised that you haven't been told this legend by the members of the Coven that you associate with. You know, Augusta Longbottom and Thaddeus Prendergast."

"How do you know about the Coven?" Harry asked, his teeth gritting in anger.

"Oh, dear me. They haven't told you anything yet, have they?" Bellatrix released her grip on Harry's head and stood back up. "Well, that's not for me to tell. Call it my little secret for now. Anyway, that's not why I captured you."

Harry just looked up at Bellatrix with fire in his eyes and began concentrating on summoning his earth powers to shatter the place to rubble. However, he immediately thought better of it afterward as he still needed to find Tonks and make sure she was still alive. Unfortunately, this meant he had to play Bellatrix's game, whatever it was.

"What's your plan?" Harry asked, trying his best to keep his anger in control. "My best guess is you don't want to kill me yet, or you would have already done it. So, you must want something from me or somebody that cares about me enough to bargain with you."

"Very astute, Harry," Bellatrix nodded, smiling widely. "However, as I have told you, that's my secret. If you want to know, then I suggest that you prepare yourself for what I have planned for you."

Bellatrix then turned around and walked away, but not before pulling her wand from out of nowhere and using it to release Harry from his bindings. As she left, her laughter echoed around the walls with the witch swaying her butt clearly in front of Harry.

Harry slowly began to move as soon Bellatrix was out of his field of vision, grabbing his clothes and slowly putting them back on as soon as they had transformed back into something wearable. As Harry was getting dressed, Lily floated through the ceiling, a frown covering her face until she saw Harry free from his restraints.

"Harry, thank Merlin that you're awake. You've been out for hours." Lily lowered herself in front of Harry and wrapped him in her arms. "I was so worried when she captured us. I tried to see where we are, but Bellatrix must have placed us in a large house or castle, because I can't find any way to get outside."

Harry nodded at this, kissing Lily on her cold face before she released him so he could finish getting dressed. "Have you found Tonks?" He asked her as he slid on his pants.

"No, she's too far away for me to find her, and I haven't heard any sound from here other than Bellatrix's sick, demented laughter," Lily answered, glancing back outside of the room.

"Who is this witch, mum?" Harry asked as he put on his shoes. "I think that I have heard her name before, but I can't remember when."

"That's not surprising, Harry. She's one of those people most would hope to forget," Lily responded, thankful that Harry was freed from his restraints and now fully clothed. "Bellatrix Lestrange is a powerful witch who was one of Lord Voldemort's Death Eaters. There were many who believed that she was Voldemort's second-in-command, as she was the most powerful in that group, next to Voldemort of course. As for how you know the name, it's probably because that Bellatrix Lestrange was one of four Death Eaters who were responsible for Neville's father's torture and death."

Harry stood to his feet, and nodded his understanding of that, as he knew that talking with the Longbottoms about Frank's death was a touchy subject. He decided not to dwell on it, though, as he knew he had to now deal with whatever Bellatrix had planned. As he stepped out into a large dimly lit room, he very much wished he had his wand with him.

Both Harry and Lily looked around the practically empty room, seeing several doors leading hopefully further into this place. Lily floated across the room to a door on Harry's far right side and nodded to her son that this was the right way. Next to the door was a small end table with a lit candle and several wands laid out, none of them were Harry's.

"Don't keep me waiting, Harry!" Bellatrix's voice echoed off the walls of the place. "After all, Niecey Nyphi is waiting for you too."

Harry angrily went over to the end table and chose a wand that would best suit him. After he found one, a ten inch oak wand, he left the room and followed his mother down a dark corridor.

Harry kept hearing Bellatrix's laugh all through the walls of the corridor as he walked, keeping his eyes trained on any sign of movement. Lily floated over to a stairway that led down to another floor of the place, motioning Harry to hurry. Harry did so, keeping one eye behind him as he did. When they reached the stairs, both mother and son looked at one another before making their way down.

When they reached the lower floor, the hallway they entered was better lighted, but was covered in a dense fog. Harry could barely see two feet in front of him, and as he slowly moved forward into the hallway, he heard Bellatrix's voice echo, "I've specially enchanted those wands, Harry. Only three curses will work for them, the Unforgivable Curses as a matter-of-fact. If you try any other curse, spell, or charm, then the wand will break and you'll have to go back and get another one. I would be careful, because I tend to get bored easily, and if you don't find me and Niecey, then I will have to punish her for your slowness. So, please hurry, because we're eager for your arrival."

Bellatrix laughed loudly, this time with a direction in mind, though it was still hard to pinpoint. Harry moved forward a little faster, but still cautious for what Bellatrix had planned. "Mum, can she do that?" Harry asked Lily, who floated just above her son. "Enchant wands to do what she wants?"

"I don't know, Harry," Lily answered while keeping a close eye on her surroundings. "I really don't know much about wandlore, so what she's saying could be possible. She could also be bluffing, but I don't think so. Bellatrix was known for toying with wizards and witches she captured during the Wizarding War, but no one had survived one of those encounters. I think it's best to follow her rules for now, Harry. I definitely don't like you using those curses, but I don't think you have a choice."

Harry nodded silently as they entered another near empty room. As both of them entered, the fog dissipated as Harry stood face-to-face with a tall, pale brunette man in his early to mid thirties with a bad looking goatee. The man was fairly muscular, but somewhat overweight as well. He was dressed in faded blue jeans and a flannel shirt along with brown boots. However, Harry noticed that he wasn't armed with any wand or weapon of any kind.

"Allo. Martin Cove's the name," The man said with a gruff, coughing voice. "Now, sorry about this lad, but that crazy lass paid me alot of money to put the hurt on you, and I rather do that than face that bitch."

Harry immediately guessed that the guy was a Muggle, most likely an unemployed brute who lives by the docks of London. Also, Harry surmised that the guy was a drunkard who probably frequently went to bars and pubs around the lower parts of the city. Basically, somebody who wouldn't be too missed if he disappeared.

Harry cautiously watched Martin Cove approach him, the man's fists clearly dirty from fights and brawls the guy has had in his past. As the heavyset man got closer to him, Harry began to contemplate how to take this guy down. The simplest way would be to kill the man, but Harry had no reason to kill him beside the fact that he was Bellatrix's paid lackey. Besides that, and the fact that this guy had no qualms about beating up a kid, Harry didn't know anything about this guy, and he didn't want to kill this guy unless he did something that Harry believed deserved death.

This left either the Imperius or the Cruixiotus Curses for Harry to use. As Cove lunged at Harry, causing the young wizard to roll to his right out of reach from the larger man. Unfortunately, the man quickly turned and lunged at Harry again, this time grabbing him by his throat and slamming him into the wall behind him. Harry groaned in pain, but quickly reacted as Cove threw a right hook, but fortunately, Harry broke free of the man's grip and ducked from the punch. Cove then tried a quick left uppercut which Harry blocked and threw a left hook of his own. The punch landed hard on Cove's right cheek, and while Harry was somewhat trained in hand-to-hand combat, his left hand felt like it punched a brick wall. What was worse was the fact that Cove was seemingly unfazed by it, as he quickly lunged at Harry yet again, causing Harry to move quickly out of the man's reach. There was little time for Harry to react to Cove's movements, as this was definitely a man who could move quickly and hit hard. Taking the wand into his right hand, he prepared to cast the first curse he thought of, and right after Cove tried another uppercut, Harry rolled out of the way and immediately after he turned and casted his curse without any hesitation.

"Imperio!" Harry shouted, and a small puff of smoke emerged from the wand and flew quickly over to Cove. Cove breathed in the smoke and immediately relaxed his body, dropping his fists and smiling a yellow tooth grin. Harry kept his guard up, aiming the wand straight at Cove's chest, approaching the man with caution as he did so. Cove just stood there, swaying from one side to the other, much like he was drunk or drugged. Harry looked up at his mother, who was completely speechless at this point. Lily knew that Harry didn't have much of a choice, but the fact that he just used an Unforgivable Curse shocked her to her very core.

Harry got to about half a foot away from Cove, raising his wand to point directly at the man's face, as he said, "Are you going to attack me anymore?"

"Of course not lad." Cove said with a bit of a slur. "I can't even remember why I went after you in the first place."

"Be careful, Harry," Lily said as she floated over to where she saw the exit to the room. "This could still all be a trap by Bellatrix. We need to be careful with what happens next."

"What about him, mum? We can't just leave him here." Harry said, moving slowly over to where she was.

"Tell him to leave this place and to never return. If possible, tell him to even forget that this place exists, as well as what happened here." Lily responded. "If he stays here, he'll just be another toy for Bellatrix to play around with, and then he'll never leave here alive. It's best for him to get out of here as fast as he can."

Harry nodded and told Cove to find the nearest exit from this place and leave as fast as possible. Harry also told him to forget everything about this place and what happened there. After he said that, Harry followed his mother out of the room and into another hallway.

"Pity, I was really hoping that you would kill him," Bellatrix's voice echoed through the hallway. "Muggles like him will not be necessary in the new world."

"I'm not going to kill somebody just because you want it!" Harry shouted angrily, though he wasn't sure if Bellatrix was listening from where she was, though at this point, he figured that she was watching and listening to everything in this place. "What do you mean by 'new world'."

"You'll soon discover this for yourself, as the new world will be made by either Voldemort's hand or yours, as one of you will be the true leader of the Wizarding World," Bellatrix's voice said, this time without the laugh. Harry and Lily continued to make their way through the hallway as she continued talking, "More and more Muggleborns and Half-bloods have entered our world, and the pure bloods have been slowly dying out due to our own pigheadedness. Voldemort's path ensured the pure bloods remain in power and the Muggleborns are restricted to the simplest of magics. Now, while I believe in some of that, I will admit that it won't work in the long term, as Muggleborns will eventually outnumber us unless the status quo changes."

Harry frowned as he and Lily turned a corner down towards a door twenty feet in front of them. As they made their way to the door, Harry said loudly, "I thought you were Voldemort's second-in-command. Why do you sound like you don't agree with him?"

"In the past, I very much did agree with him," Bellatrix said to Harry, her voice sounding sad as she spoke. "I was so young back then, believing very much in his ideals and wishes. In many ways, I still do, but that was until you defeated him in Godric's Hollow when you were just a baby. Now, my support belongs to one that proves that they're the most powerful wizard of all."

"That's hypocritical. Neither Voldemort or I have anything in common," Harry said as he reached the door. "For one, I don't see things as black and white like that. The world's much more complicated than that. If you want to change the world, then you shouldn't follow someone that doesn't support your ideals."

"That's where you are wrong, Harry Potter," Bellatrix's voice responded. "But, alas, I see that you've come to your next test. I would wish you luck, but alas, you're dealing with a wannabe Death Eater."

Harry was a bit confused as he opened the door and entered the room. The room was large, maybe about half the size of the Great Hall, with a tall blonde-haired, blue-eyed wizard no older than twenty standing directly in the middle with a cocky smile on his face. The young man had on a dark cloak with a dark long sleeve shirt and black pants, and wielded a thirteen inch brown wand.

"Harry Potter, the one who defeated the greatest Dark Lord that ever lived," The blonde-haired man said with a deep Spanish accent as he aimed his wand directly at Harry's chest. "Prepare yourself to join your Mudblood mother in the afterlife! Avada Kedavra!"

Harry easily rolled out of the curse's path and aimed his wand directly at the blonde-haired wizard's face. However, at that moment, Harry froze in thought as he wondered about what curse would work this time. Harry dodged again after the wizard tried his curse again, this time barely hitting Harry if not for his quick thinking and speed. As he did, Harry immediately thought about answering fire with fire, as the blonde wizard had done little moving except for turning to keep Harry in front of him. However, this seemed like this was what Bellatrix was hoping for in the end: she wanted him to kill somebody, as she wanted to see Harry have blood on his hands. That didn't make sense to Harry though, as he had already killed Marge Dursley, and to tell the truth, he very much enjoyed how he killed her.

None of that mattered to this blonde-haired wizard, as all he was concerned about was being the one who killed the famous Harry Potter. He, and his family had supported Dark Wizards like Voldemort and Grindelwald for centuries, always believing that Muggleborns tainted pure magic and caused the birth of many Squibs throughout history. To this wizard, who had graduated Hogwarts not two years before Harry Potter first came there, if he killed The Boy-Who-Lived, he would be praised by Lord Voldemort once he returns.

Harry kept dodging easily, questioning this wizard's aim after his last dodge. Fortunately, as he kept avoiding the blonde-haired wizard's curses, he got a look at the other side of the room and saw five separate doors opened leading into different pathways. Unfortunately that meant without knowing the right door to go through, Harry would be in quite a predicament if he went through the wrong door. That meant the only way for Harry to know which way to go next was to extract it from this blonde-haired wizard. However, Harry believed that using the Imperius Curse wouldn't work this time, which left him with one option left: to force the wizard to tell him what he wanted to know.

"Crucio!" Harry shouted, aiming his borrowed wand directly at the blonde-haired wizard's chest. The wizard dropped to the floor and began to involuntarily convulse, his body contouring in strange and unique ways. Harry was quite surprised with the effect of casting the curse for the first time, as he felt a sense of euphoria after he casted it. The wizard kept convulsing in agony without making a sound. Lily looked at the scene in front of her in horror, even though she had seen the Cruixiotus Curse being casted during the war against Voldemort, not to mention what happened to Frank Longbottom.

Harry kept his wand trained on the blonde-haired wizard as he approached him, keeping the curse on him as long as possible. When Harry was standing next to the wizard, he grabbed the blonde-haired wizard's wand and placed it in his back pocket. After that, Harry finally decided to release the curse and asked one simple question with a first glare, "Where's Bellatrix?"

The blonde-haired wizard looked up defiantly at Harry, gasping for air as he did. "You can't beat her, you filthy Half-blood!" He said with a sinister smile. "Your magic is nothing compared to that of purebloods. You'll be dead the instant that you come anywhere near her."

"We'll see about that. Now I won't ask again. Tell me what I want to know or I'll put the Cruixiotus back on you, and I won't let it go away," Harry said firmly, waving his borrowed wand over the blonde-haired wizard's head.

"It's the second door on the right!" The wizard answered with a sneer, clearly unafraid of Harry's threat. "When Bellatrix's done with you, I hope that she'll give me the task of disposing of your corpse."

Harry scoffed angrily at the blonde-haired wizard, but decided that he didn't have time to deal with him. Right now, he needed to get to Tonks and deal with Bellatrix. Harry left quickly through the door the wizard told him to go through only to encounter a long winding stairway leading down. The pathway was very dimly lit, and as he walked down it, a cold chill went through his entire body. Harry knew that there would be at least one more challenge he would have to deal with, and with Bellatrix might have planned, he knew that he would have to use the Killing Curse next.

"Pity," Bellatrix's voice said as Harry made his way down the stairs. "Closed minded wizards like him will never understand why change is necessary."

"What about you, then?" Harry asked as he continued moving down the stairs. "You sound like you want change, but what kind of change do you want?"

"I'm okay with progress, but it shouldn't be rammed down purebloods' throats," Bellatrix's voice took a somber tone. "Traditions matter, especially in Ancient and Noble Houses like the Blacks and the Potters. What purebloods are truly afraid of are Muggles trying to muck up our way of life. Let me ask you this: do you believe in how Muggles live, or how we live is better?"

"Neither," Harry stayed firmly, more worried about getting to the bottom of the stairs than what Bellatrix was asking. However, that didn't mean he wasn't paying attention. "I've seen how both Muggles and Wizarding families live, and while there's little to no similarities between them, how one family chooses to live versus another is entirely based on choice. I agree with you about traditions and they should always be kept. I would also like to learn much about the Potter's family traditions, as I hardly know any. That doesn't mean certain changes can't be made within a family, be it a Wizarding or Muggle one. Sometimes, a little change can be good, depending on what that change is of course."

"Now you see what I eventually realized," Bellatrix's voice said, an approving sound coming from her voice as she spoke. "Hogwarts originally allowed Muggleborns into our world to increase our numbers, but the cost came from them wanting to bring much of what they were used to in the Muggle World with them. Particular items and technologies are okay, but they shouldn't change our traditions and try to insert their own within a pureblood family. I know that might sound hypocritical, but that's what I now believe."

"What about Voldemort?" Harry asked. "The stories I have heard about him were that of a mass murderer. Killing Muggles and Wizards alike, with no thought as to why they deserved death. What did he believe in?"

"He wanted to rule the Wizarding World," Bellatrix's voice answered. "He believed that the only way to do it was to have Purebloods in control of everything and to eliminate Muggleborns from our society. Unfortunately, some pureblooded families did not agree with this and faced the Dark Lord's wrath. It took me quite a while to realize what the endgame was going to be. If you hadn't intervened, Harry Potter, then Voldemort would have eventually won, but with significant casualties among all of the Houses of the Wizarding World; many of whom would not be around today if it hadn't been for you. Take the Longbottom family for example."

Harry stopped in his tracks, with the bottom of the stairs just now in view. His blood began boiling in rage at that moment and shouted, "You have no right to speak their name! Because of you Neville's father is dead! You and your fellow Death Eaters!"

"I had nothing to do with Frank Longbottom's death!" Bellatrix retorted, her voice echoing all over the stairwell. "Nor did my husband, my brother-in-law, or Crouch Jr. We may have been convicted for murdering him, but we had no hand in it. Well, that's not entirely true. You see, we did show up at the home of Frank and Alice Longbottom the night that you destroyed Voldemort, but they were already waiting for us. They must have suspected that someone gave up their location, so they lured us there while making sure their son was protected. We didn't know it at the time, but Augusta Longbottom took her grandson and left the country, while both Frank and Alice lured any Death Eaters into a trap. It was a good plan, even I have to admit, but it was the two of them against the four of us. If they had a few allies with them, Frank Longbottom would not have suffered the way he did."

"After they got betrayed, they probably didn't trust that many people," Harry said softly, still angry over Frank Longbottom's death. However, after listening to Bellatrix's explanation, it seemed to Harry that both Frank and Alice had planned to die that night, sacrificing themselves so Neville could live safe from Voldemort's wrath. It was at that point that Harry began to wonder why they themselves didn't leave if they had a chance. However, he did realize something else. "Hang on, you said that you didn't kill Frank Longbottom, then who did?"

"I don't know, but all we did was use the torture curse on both him and Alice Longbottom," Bellatrix answered, her voice sounding remorseful. "We tortured them both equally, but Alice seemed to be somewhat imperious to some of it. My husband and brother-in-law tried to get past whatever magical barrier that was protecting her, but they couldn't do it. I focused more on Frank, with Harry Crouch Jr. at my side, so I knew my Cruixiotus was working well. When we left that place, Frank Longbottom's mind was a tortured mess, but he was very much still alive."

Harry was very much confused by hearing this, though he knew that there was a possibility that Bellatrix could be lying. However, as Harry resumed walking down the stairs and soon reaching the door he believed his final challenge was waiting for him, he couldn't help but to feel like Bellatrix wasn't lying to him. Although, if that was the case, then who did kill Frank Longbottom?

As Harry opened the door in front of him, a cold chill went down his spine, warning him that whoever was on the other side of this door was extremely dangerous. Sure enough, as he and Lily entered the room, Bellatrix laughed loudly as she stood on the opposite side of this large room. The room was circular, it's walls completely stone, looking more castle-like than the rest of the place. Harry also noticed that there was no ceiling, as the walls stretched up towards the early evening sky, and the bitter cold from the December air chilled Harry to the bone. However, something else chilled him to the very core as he looked upon the four other individuals in the room.

One of the four individuals was of course Bellatrix, dressed now in a long black dress cut short to her knees and a very revealing cleavage. At her right, magically bound in her own clothes in a similar manner as Harry when he woke up was Tonks. The young witch was on her knees with her hands apparently tied behind her, her body shivering from the cold. However, it was the other two individuals that had his full attention.

In the center of this chamber were two tall, extremely thin black-haired men dressed in raggy prison clothes. Both men looked like they could be related, with the one on the left having a scruffy looking beard. Both men were unarmed, and more to the point they were chained down to the floor. Both men looked at Harry with complete hatred in their eyes, with the one on the left saying, "Harry Potter, the boy who took our Lord away from us. What is the meaning of this, Bellatrix?"

"Isn't it obvious, husband?" Bellatrix answered him with a chuckle. "I'm looking to become a widow, and with the death of both you and your brother, I will inherit the majority of all Lestrange family assets. Of course I would have to reveal that I'm still alive, and who actually helped me escape Azkaban, Oh, pardon me, where are my manners? Harry, this is my husband Redolphus and his brother Rabastan Lestrange. They recently escaped Azkaban thanks to both the House-elves of the family and the goblins in Gringotts, though they themselves had no knowledge of any kind of plan. You know, it wasn't easy convincing the goblins to help facilitate their release. I had to give up something very special to convince them to help me."

Harry was somewhat curious as to what that was, but before he had a chance to ask, a very familiar male voice did so from behind where Harry stood. "And what did you give the goblins, my Lady Black?"

Bellatrix frowned as two individuals entered the room, one of whom immediately ran towards Harry and hugged him tightly. The person was a dark-skinned witch with long black hair and brown eyes, wearing a long sleeve purple blouse and light blue pants. Bellatrix recognized this witch soon after and knew that this was Divia Patil.

After Divia released her hug from Harry, the male wizard who walked in with her stepped in front of Harry, with his eyes glued on Bellatrix. The wizard was dressed in a dark blue suit, with short dark-blonde hair and wearing sunglasses. Bellatrix did not recognize this man, but had heard rumors about an American wizard who had been causing trouble for Dumbledore and the Ministry. What was surprising to her was that this wizard wasn't armed, that is, he didn't have his wand out. As a matter of fact, the wizard took off his sunglasses revealing his moon eyes before actually bowing towards her in respect and introduced himself. "Thaddeus Matthew Prenderghast Flamel, adopted son of Seer Perenelle Flamel and member of the Coven. I am pleased to finally meet you, My Lady Bellatrix Black."

Bellatrix frowned at the wizard as he stood back up and said to him, "Pretty bold of you to announce that in front of strangers, Mr. Flamel. After all, not many people know about the existence of the Coven, not to mention who their members are."

Thaddeus smiled at this and responded, "I overheard most of what you said when Divia and I entered this castle. I must applaud you for bringing Harry to this place. We're deep in the Alps, aren't we?"

Bellatrix crossed her arms, though gave Thaddeus a bit of a smile. "Very astute, Mr. Flamel. I do believe that we're somewhere near the border separating France and Switzerland. However, I do have to wonder how you found this place. Did the goblins betray my confidence?"

"No, my Lady. The Goblin King himself wouldn't give out that information to me," Thaddeus said somberly, looking around the room and noticing the chained up Lestrange brothers in the middle of the room. "I actually had to depend on Divia Patil and her slave bond to Harry to find this place. Of course, that only brought me to the main entrance of the castle, which meant we had to navigate through much of this place using Divia to sense where her master was. Also, I unfortunately ran across a Muggle gentleman and had to take care of him before he left the castle. I also came across that Spanish wizard in the room that led to this one. He tried to use the Killing Curse on me but I quickly disposed of him as well. I really hope he wasn't important to you, my lady."

"So you Oblivated Cove, and I take it you killed De La Cruz, or whatever his name was," Bellatrix laughed after she heard Thaddeus tell her that. "That young brat talked non-stop about the Dark Lord and how he would get revenge in his name when I found him in that dark wizard pub. Well, now that they're both taken care of, what is your intention in regards to me and what I have planned here for young Harry?"

"My primary orders, by Coven edict, are to protect Harry Potter and Neville Longbottom from those that would do them harm. With my own life, if needed, but without interfering with their everyday lives," Thaddeus told her, walking over slowly to Bellatrix's side of the room so as not to threaten or antagonize her. "Now, I must admit, my job to do so has been hampered by Dumbledore and the Ministry, but thanks to both Harry's and Neville's skills as wizards, they managed to make my job easier. With that being said, unless you truly wish harm against Harry, I have no problem with what you have planned. I will have to insist that you undo Miss Tonks from her bindings and return Harry's wand back to him once this is over."

"What are you saying, Thaddeus?" Lily said somewhat enraged at what Thaddeus suggested. "You can't trust her. She'll try to kill Harry and all of you as soon as your guards are down."

"It's alright, mum," Harry answered her instead of Thaddeus. "I'm sure that we have no intention of trusting Bellatrix just yet. However, I do want to know why Professor Prenderghast seems to trust her."

"I don't, Harry. Not really anyway," Thaddeus turned his head to look at Harry. "She is a Black witch, however, and as such, any member of the Coven that doesn't pay respect to that could face excommunication or expulsion from the Order. You don't know the entire history of the Coven yet, Harry, but the Coven wouldn't exist today if not for the witches in the House of Black."

Bellatrix smiled wider as she pulled her wand from her back and waved over Tonks, which transformed her bindings back to her clothes. "You know, Niecy is named after one of the three legendary Black sisters. She really shouldn't be ashamed of being called 'Nymphadora'. However, back to what I want, which is to be a widow with both the Houses of Lestrange and Black supporting me. For that to happen, both my husband and my brother-in-law must be killed for kidnapping Harry Potter and my dear niece Nymphadora, and for trying to kill them of course."

Thaddeus nodded in appreciation at Bellatrix's plan, and decided to take a guess at how she planned to have this done. "So, I take it that somewhere nearby in this castle is a Lestrange family goblet or some kind of flask, and in them happens to be Polyjuice potion, and if I am right, you have several of your hairs laid out next to it. All you need is some of Miss Tonks' hairs to complete the deception."

"Very astute, Mr. Flamel, for an American wizard, that is," Bellatrix laughed and clapped her hands much like a happy child. "I figured that someone or something might have recognized me, even in glamour, when I set the trap to kidnap Harry, so I went to Gringotts in mid-June and revealed myself to Ragnarok and several of the goblins who could verify my true identity. As many of us already know, the goblins have no interest in dealing with the affairs of witches and wizards. Still, I had to buy their silence, so I had to give them something to make sure they wouldn't tell anyone about me, and that something is what I wish to keep secret for the time being. However, my plan didn't involve pulling hairs from my dear niece's head. Why should I protect her from persecution?"

"She's an intiait under Amelia Bones," Thaddeus said, now looking at Bellatrix with serious intent. "A future Auror who's a member of the Coven, as well as the daughter of Andromeda Black, would help greatly in turning the Ministry from a bunch of scared politicians to people who could actually make a difference in the Wizarding World. So, with that being said, it would help me greatly if you would consider in helping her from Fudge's wrath."

"Fudge is just a puppet for Dumbledore," Bellatrix said as she frowned again, practically spitting out both Fudge's and Dumbledore's names as she did. "Almost every Minister since the end of World War II has been under Dumbledore's influence or control, even I am aware of this. So, even if I do want to help and protect her from political harm, what will stop them from discrediting her anyway."

"To lessen the blow," Thaddeus said, and once Tonks had gotten dressed, quickly joined Thaddeus at his right side facing her aunt. It was then that she took the lead from Thaddeus and talked to Bellatrix.

"Several members of the Coven had been inserted into various Ministries of Magic over the years, Aunt Bella," Tonks said to her with a calm demeanor that surprised everyone there, especially Harry. What was more surprising to Harry was while Tonks was talking, Thaddeus took a step back and lowered his head in respect, though while the adult wizard kept his eyes locked on both Tonks and Bellatrix, it was as if Tonks had a higher standing than him within the Coven and Thaddeus was required to show that. "Now, while I am proud to be called Tonks outside of the Coven, I am even more proud to be recognized as 'Nymphadora Black' inside of the Coven. I am a true daughter of the House of Black and follower of Morgan Le Fey's true dream for the Magical World."

Bellatrix looked somewhat bewildered by Tonks' statement, more than Harry, Lily, or even the Lestrange brothers, who themselves were more concerned with trying to get free of their bindings. "Morgan Le Fey's true dream? Don't tell me that the Coven believes that old legend," Bellatrix said with a scoff. She then walked closer to both Tonks and Thaddeus waving her wand back and forth as she did. As soon as she stood about a foot away from them, Bellatrix looked at both Tonks' and Thaddeus' eyes, and noticed that both of them had no doubt of what they believed in. "You actually have proof, don't you? The two of you are not just blind believers, aren't you?"

"Yes, Aunt Bella, though revealing what proof that actually is, is something I cannot do, as the safety and security of the Coven depends on not revealing this," Tonks said, and after she did, turned her head towards Harry and gave him a seductive wink. She then revealed that she had Harry's wand in left hand before tossing it back to him, saying to the young wizard, "Aunt Bella had this in my pussy while she had me tied up. It properly belongs to you, and I apologize if I got it a bit wet."

Harry caught his wand with no difficulty, though gave a slight wink back to Tonks, thinking 'I'll be sure to have you wet my other wand after we get out of here.'

Tonks smiled widely as if she read Harry's thoughts before facing Bellatrix again and said, "What I can tell you is that the Coven needs both Harry and Neville to survive past their time in Hogwarts, and that will be difficult as long as Dumbledore remains in control of the school. However, they are destined to survive past their time in Hogwarts and will be crucial for the Coven's plan to unify the Wizarding World under our control."

"So the Coven, who were once an all witch-centric group, are relying on two wizards to lead them to victory?" Bellatrix asked with a raised eyebrow. "I suppose you're going to tell me that both Harry and Neville are going to lead the Coven in the future as well?"

"Of course not, Aunt Bella," Tonks smiled at her. "Though if Harry is the true descendant of Morgan Le Fey, then the Coven will have no choice but to accept him as our superior, if he wishes to become a part of the Coven, that is."

"My lady, if I may," Thaddeus looked at Tonks and said to her. "We cannot afford to waste much more time here. If we don't return with Harry safe and sound to Lady Bones and Lady Longbottom soon, then both of them could face persecution from Dumbledore and Fudge."

Tonks nodded with a sigh and turned around to face Harry, Rodolphus and Rabastan. Divia had already stepped away from Harry, with her already suspecting what Harry was about to do. True enough, after the attention turned fully on him, Harry wasted no time as he raised his elm wand directing at Rodolphus, letting his anger fill up as much as he could. He was about to speak the accursed words when Tonks finally said to him, "Wait a moment, Harry. You shouldn't use your wand, as it still has the Trace on it. You should use the wand that Aunt Bella provided, or better yet, why don't you wandlessly cast the Killing Curse and show the Lestrange brothers the power of a true wizard. After all, the Lestrange men are known throughout history as rapists and they only ever truly love their next male heir. So, getting rid of these two would be a favor to all witches everywhere."

"You must be joking!" Rodolphus scoffed at hearing what Tonks had suggested. "That boy has no idea what a real wizard can do. He's far too weak and stupid to realize the power that my brother and I possess thanks to the Dark Lord. These chains won't hold us much longer, so I suggest that you prepare yourself to rejoin your Mudblood mother, because…"

Harry could not stand to hear any more. As soon as Rodolphus called Lily a Mudblood, Harry dropped both wands that he had in his hands and pointed his right directly at Rodolphus and shouted angrily, "AVADA KEDAVRA!"

A bright, green flash of light quickly left Harry's right hand and enveloped Rodolphus Lestrange in an instant. After the flash dissipated, Rodolphus gave one last blank look at Harry before collapsing on the ground breathing out his final breath before doing so. Rabastan, who stayed quiet throughout all of this, screamed like a little girl after he saw his brother die in front of his eyes, at the hands of the very child who defeated the Dark Lord no less. Rabastan could only tremble in fear as Harry pointed at him and in a begging manner, dropped to his knees and cried, "Please don't…"

"AVADA KEDAVRA!" Harry shouted again, and after the green flash enveloped Rabastan, the Lestrange wizard fell down almost instantly, drawing his last breath much like his brother did before dying from the curse.

It was an abnormal silence afterward as everyone stared at the lifeless corpses of the Lestrange brothers, with Lily quite shocked at her own acceptance of the situation. The last time she saw the Killing Curse performed was just before Voldemort had killed her, so it was somewhat surprising to her to see her own son perform the very curse that took her own life. Not that she believed that Rodolphus and Rabastan didn't deserve it, as she very much did believe they deserved death and much worse than that for their actions during the Wizarding War. No, it was the fact that she felt delight in witnessing Harry using it. It was like she relished in Harry killing these two wizards. So much so in fact that she actually began to laugh.

"Mum? Are you alright?" Harry looked up at her and asked. "I've never heard you laugh like that. You almost sounded like Bellatrix."

Lily stopped laughing at hearing this, completely stunned by the fact that her laugh was very much like Bellatrix. The ghostly figure could not imagine such a similarity between the two of them.

After a moment, Bellatrix smiled at Harry mentioning this, saying to the young wizard, "Tell your mother that she should enjoy seeing the wicked punished. It's where the laugh truly comes from. I should also add that while I enjoyed much of the work given to me by the Dark Lord, I did not enjoy taking or torturing lives of people who did not deserve it. However, it was war and once you choose a side, it's hard to leave it."

Harry looked at Bellatrix questionably, and was about to ask what she meant. However, Tonks spoke up before he had a chance to, asking Bellatrix firmly, "Now that Harry has passed your tests, and got rid of your husband and brother-in-law, I take it that we're free to go?"

Bellatrix nodded, saying to her niece, "Of course. Let it not be said that a daughter of the House of Black cannot be held to her word. Everyone is free to leave here and continue their everyday lives. However, I ask you for several of your hairs and a moment alone with Mr. Flamel."

Tonks nodded and turned to face Thaddeus. "Be careful around her, Thaddeus," Tonks warned. "She may keep her word, but she always has an ulterior motive behind her actions."

Tonks then pulled several of her hairs from her head and handed them to Thaddeus before walking over to Harry and Divia. She smiled at Harry softly as she said to Divia, "Would you please escort your master and I out of this castle and take us back to your home. I'm quite sure that Harry will need to use our and your daughters bodies to work off his bloodlust."

After Divia escorted Harry, Tonks, and Lily out of the room, her ass sexually waving at Harry as she did, Thaddeus stood there with a slight smile waiting for what Bellatrix wanted. He didn't have to wait too long though, as she walked up to him and asked, "Are you sure that Harry and Neville are the ones your mother prophesied about?"

"I wouldn't have come back to England unless I didn't," Thaddeus said matter-of-factly. "When Harry's powers manifested, I already knew that he would be the dark wizard from the prophecy, and having Morgan Le Fey's wand only cements that belief. As for Neville, it was much harder to be certain, as the boy is incredibly shy and at the beginning lacked courage. However, after he received the wand that had its core come from the same phoenix that gave another feather for Voldemort's wand, he managed to manifest his powers soon after. With Harry attaining the core from Earth, and Neville attaining the core from Air, I have no doubt that these two will unite the world."

Bellatrix frowned a bit, but nodded her understanding. "If I remember correctly, the prophecy also spoke of two witches who would guide them: One pure descended from the longest lineage of magic, the other pure from the lineage of humanity, or did I misquote?"

"A little bit, my lady, but your spot on," Thaddeus answered. "There's a witch currently attending Hogwarts who practically never leaves Harry's or Neville's side. Her name is Hermione Granger."

"Granger, an obvious Muggle name," Bellatrix smiled at Thaddeus. "Curious that you would openly reveal that to me, a former servant of the Dark Lord Voldemort no less. Aren't you concerned about that witch's wellbeing?"

"No," Thaddeus said simply. "If I'm right, her faith in humanity will soon be shattered and she'll cling to the Wizarding World more after that. There's also the fact that she's incredibly bright and her thirst for knowledge is incomparable to any witch and wizard that I've ever met."

"And what if you're wrong about her then? Are you going to find another Muggleborn who'll fit what you're looking for? That's not to mention that if she's the one, there's the matter of finding the witch with the longest line of magic within her family. Oh, I now see what you're planning: you believe that I'm the witch you're looking for."

Bellatrix let out a loud laugh after she spoke, her thin body actually shaking from it. Thaddeus waited for a whole minute until Bellatrix stopped laughing to answer her. "There's only a few Houses that have the lineage that have existed since the times of Emrys, Le Fey, or Peverell. Of those, only the House of Black has kept their line pure, marrying only other purebloods and siring children to do the same. Now while I still think of most purebloods as being the biggest hypocrites in the Wizarding World, that doesn't mean I consider some of them to be quite honorable."

Bellatrix frowned again, looking deep at Thaddeus' face as she did. "So, are you expecting me to fuck the boy?" Bellatrix asked point-blank at Thaddeus. "Even without his wand, I had a hard time controlling myself when I was near him. The scent of him is quite intoxicating, I can see why the rumors of him being sexually active are so believable."

"I assure you that Harry has fucked many witches already, so it's no rumor," Thaddeus replied. "Some of them you know, your niece being one of them. However, I think that it's best that we don't talk about that. Besides, I have some questions of my own, like why did you do this?"

"Well, I wanted to see what was so special about Harry Potter, of course," Bellatrix sighed, her smile returning to her face. "Other than it was time for me to make certain moves to make certain wizards in power nervous."

"Like Albus Dumbledore perhaps?" Thaddeus laughed a bit as he understood her reasoning. "Did he help you break out of Azkaban as well as fake your death?"

"Very astute, Mr. Flamel. Of course, Dumbledore would be the first wizard you would mention, as even from an outsider standpoint, as no politician would risk my freedom over their careers."

"Well that answers all but one last question: why did you ask me to remain?"

"I need you to send a message to the Head Sorceress, your mother," Bellatrix said firmly. "Tell her that I am interested in the Black sisters regaining their power within the Coven. However, because of my past actions, I know that many within the England branch might oppose it. So, to facilitate this, it is my intention to broker a peace accord between the Houses of Black, Potter, and Longbottom. If need be, I am willing to offer my body in payment to satisfy my debt to both families."

Thaddeus listened to Bellatrix's words with interest, and when she finished talking, Thaddeus stood silent for a long moment before nodding his affirmation and bowing towards her. "I will relay this to the Head Sorceress as soon as I am able. However, she might ask when you plan to reveal yourself to the Longbottom."

"Tell her that I plan to do so on the first of August, after both Harry and Neville celebrate their birthdays," Bellatrix said as began backing up and turning away from Thaddeus. "Hopefully, that will give you enough time to convince Augusta Longbottom that I'm not a threat to her family. This will also give me time to get in contact with my sisters and tell them of my plan. Oh, before you leave here, there is one last thing I want to know: who killed Frank Longbottom."

Thaddeus frowned and stayed silent for a very long time before giving the answer that until then only a few people knew. Thaddeus himself did not know until after he had settled down in England. However, Augusta eventually told him the truth, with her son's murderer standing right beside her.

"Alice Longbottom."

The morning of Christmas Eve-Longbottom Manor

SLAP! The sound of Augusta's hand hitting Thaddeus' cheek echoed loudly throughout the house. Thaddeus was literally thrown against the living room wall from the force of her slap. Augusta may have been an elderly witch, but there was no question that the woman had unusual strength for someone her age.

"How Dare You!" Augusta angrily shouted at Thaddeus. Standing only a few feet behind her were Alice and Amelia, clearly knowing that it wasn't a good idea to try to hold Augusta back once she was in this state. Neville was believed to be still in bed shortly after Thaddeus had returned, but the small boy had been woken up from the voices downstairs. Neville wanted to go downstairs, but as the sound of Augusta's slap went through the manor, he stopped at the top of the stairs and listened in on the conversation below. He hadn't been able to make out much, though he did hear mention that Harry was safe and was most likely at the home of the Patils. Neville also heard his father being mentioned, but couldn't make out what was actually said until the slap echoed through the house.

"You told Bellatrix Lestrange who really killed my son?!" Augusta shouted, though almost immediately realized that Neville could hear her, so she lowered her voice when she said 'killed my son'. "We have kept that a secret for over ten years. Not many outside of five or six people know the truth."

Thaddeus rubbed his cheek, which was bright pink from Augusta's slap as Augusta stood ready to slap him again. After a moment, Thaddeus stood up from the wall and bowed low towards the elderly witch. "Forgive me for my trespass, Head Voice," He said to her, trying his best to remain calm. "I only told her this information because she is a Black and she was incarcerated for your son's murder. I apologize if this weakens your position within the Coven."

"I don't care about that!" Augusta angrily said, trying to keep her voice from echoing through the house. "When it comes to Alice, and Neville, their protection comes first! The Coven and the Head Sorceress can burn in hell for all I care if my grandson or daughter-in-law should come to harm."

"My lady, if I may," Amelia stepped forward and said. The Ministry witch then looked directly at Thaddeus and said, "I agree with the Head Voice, though going against the Coven is not very wise. The information regarding Frank Longbottom's death belongs solely to Lady Augusta, and it is her right to choose who gets that information."

Alice, who had been silently standing there, was understandably emotional. A good part of her was reliving what she did the very night that the Lestranges and Crouch Jr. tortured her and Frank. Hours after they had left, she crawled to her husband's side to check on him, only to find no light behind his eyes. His body was still convulsing from the lingering effect of multiple Cruxciotus Curses, and he was still breathing, but there was simply no indication that his mind was still there. Alice tried everything she could think of at that moment, but when the sun was about to rise, Alice made a decision that haunts her to this very day: she used the Killing Curse on her husband.

"Once again. I apologize for revealing this without consulting the Head Voice, but once she asked, I felt compelled to reveal what I knew," Thaddeus said, slowly raising his body to a standing position. "I have no other excuse save for thinking about what's best for the Coven."

"You put me in a dangerous situation, American," Augusta raised her hand up to slap Thaddeus' face. Thaddeus stood there preparing himself for the slap again, but after a moment she lowered her hand and scoffed angrily. "If you hadn't sworn your life to protect both Harry and Neville, you would be going back to America where my son and James Potter found you 11 years ago."

"Lady Augusta, if I may interject again," Amelia said, stepping closer to the witch with the hope of calming her down a bit. Augusta took a calming breath before lowering her hand and turning away. Amelia then looked back at Thaddeus and asked, "Do you believe Bellatrix will be true to her word? Will we finally have the Black sisters rejoin us after all these years?"

"I believe so, Lady Bones," Thaddeus nodded. "There was no question that she knew much about the Coven's true history, and even knew about my mother's prophecy. It might be clear that both Narcissa and Andromeda might also be aware of this. I think that it's best that one of us approaches Andromeda and see what she knows."

"It should not be you or Nymphadora," Amelia said matter-of-factly. "You haven't met Andromeda yet, and Nymphadora revealing to her mother that she's a member of the Coven might anger her. I think that I should be the one who broaches the subject with her. I'll arrange to have lunch with her sometime in January, after Harry, Neville, and Nymphadora return to Hogwarts."

"What about Narcissa, my lady?" Thaddeus asked. "She might be more open to joining the Coven, as she is currently known in many circles as 'Lady Black'. However, she is rarely seen without Lucius Malfoy around her, so getting her alone might be problematic."

"Trying to figure out that is quite simple, American," Augusta faced him again, still quite angry with him. "I will request a meeting with her myself. Although I still don't approve of this, I will ask both Lucius and Narcissa for lunch to discuss the upcoming lordships for Harry, Neville, and Draco. Now, it's a known fact that Lucius finds meetings such as these to be tedious and not worth his time, so I believe he will politely decline, leaving me and Narcissa to have a meeting alone. However, if he does accept, then I will have to make the conversation boring enough to get him to leave."

Just then, the front door to Longbottom Manor opened and closed as footsteps were heard entering the home. A few seconds later, Nymphadora entered the living room, her legs obviously shaking and her clothes on her body very loose, as if she put them on half-heartedly. She still bowed towards Augusta and Amelia respectfully and said, "I apologize for my lateness as well as my appearance, Head Voice and Lady Bones. Harry and his girls kept me quite occupied for the entire night after we left Lestrange castle."

Augusta scoffed as Amelia gave Nymphadora a slight smile at hearing this. Thaddeus couldn't help but to chuckle as Augusta asked, "Is he still with the Patils?"

"Yes ma'am," Nymphadora nodded after rising from her bow. "Miss Lovegood joined in just a few hours before. Needless to say, all of us there used a lot of Pepper-Up Potions."

"Well, after Mr. Flamel's report, I can understand why," Amelia said with a slight wink to her underling. "You can confirm that both Rodolphus and Rabastan Lestrange were killed by Harry, and that Bellatrix Black is interested in joining the Coven?"

"Yes, my lady," Nymphadora nodded again. "Though I understand that a few members might not approve of this, being that she's a former Death Eater. I myself am a bit skeptical about her, but if she's true to her word, then the Coven will have a powerful witch to lead us. Although, if this does happen, will we offer my mother and Aunt Narcissa to join the Coven as well?"

"We need to be patient, Nymphadora," Amelia said. "Right now our immediate concern is dealing with Dumbledore and Fudge. They are going to want a report on what happened to both you and Harry. I had already sent owls to both of them informing of your and Harry's safe return. Hopefully they will wait until after Christmas before they convene a meeting and request both your and Harry's presence."

"Do you think that they'll summon the entire Wizengamot, Lady Bones?" Nymphadora asked.

"I don't believe so," Amelia answered. "Neither you or Harry have committed a crime here in England, so it will most likely just be a small gathering of people. Both you and Harry will need to convince them that it was Rodolphus and Rabastan Lestrange that kidnapped you, then used Polyjuice potion to lure Harry into a trap, thus leading to their demise, as you shall be credited as the one who killed them."

"They will still have many questions about Bellatrix, my Lady," Thaddeus interjected. "Our story will have to be perfect if we are to protect her from being hunted by the Ministry."

"Leave that to me, Mr. Flamel," Amelia looked at him. "I am the current head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, and I do have connections with the French Ministry as well, so I can make sure that Bellatrix remains safe for the time being. However, I won't be able to hold off the hunt forever, so she'll need to do something that will take that focus off of her when the time comes."

"She did inform me that Dumbledore did help facilitate her escape from Azkaban, my lady," Thaddeus suggested.

"While that is damning, it will not be enough to call off the hunt for her," Amelia responded. "Besides, the Ministry will not accept the word of a convicted Death Eater over the word of the famous Albus Dumbledore. No, all of us will need to be cautious and patient, and our opportunity will appear before us."

Everyone but Augusta nodded their understanding, Alice included even though she wasn't a member of the Coven officially. Augusta just stood there, fuming at the idea of Bellatrix becoming a leader of the Coven, as well as her fellow Coven members wanting this to happen. However, she did take a long, calming breath before looking at Nymphadora and saying, "Go back to Harry, Miss Lovegood and the Patils and enjoy the rest of the day, but I expect both you and Harry back in this house before dinner tonight. Go with her, Prenderghast, as I expect that Harry will have questions about Morgan Le Fey and how her wand chose him as it's new master."

Both Nymphadora and Thaddeus bowed towards Augusta before they left out the front door of the manor. Augusta then turned to Amelia and said quite bluntly, "I will see hell freeze over before I bow to Bellatrix."

"You know Coven law as well as I do, Head Voice," Amelia stared deep into Augusta's eyes. "It does sound like she wishes to make amends for her actions regarding your son and daughter-in-law. I ask you to please keep that in mind when she finally appears before you."

Augusta sighed deeply before nodding and said, "I will listen to what she has to say, but she must prove to me that she means no ill will towards my family and Harry before I even consider allowing her into the Coven. To do that, I will have her do something that will protect both Neville and Harry from any evil she knows of."

Augusta then began walking away from Amelia and headed toward the stairs. Amelia gasped loudly as she knew of what Augusta had planned. "My lady, are you sure that it's necessary to do this?"

"Yes, Amelia," Augusta answered without turning back to her. As the elderly witch stepped on the first step of the stairs leading up to the second floor, she added, "Bellatrix Black will make the Unbreakable Vow."

Yesterday Evening-Patil House

After Divia Apparated Harry, Tonks, and herself just outside of her home, Harry grabbed the dark skinned witch and kissed her fiercely, shoving his tongue deep into her mouth. Tonks giggled as she saw this, placing a hand on Harry's shoulder a moment later and whispered, "You need to be patient, Harry. After all, we have all night to enjoy her. Why don't we go inside so Divia can get her daughters so they can join in on the fun."

Harry broke the kiss nodding his understanding to Tonks before grabbing Divia's ass and giving it a squeeze. "Go find Padma and Parvati quickly, Divia," Harry told her. "I'm quite sure they've been waiting for me to fuck them since the holiday began, so let's not keep them waiting."

Divia gave out a small pout and said, "I do hope that you'll plow my pussy first, Master. I've been waiting for much longer than that."

Divia then turned and bolted into her house, followed by Harry and Tonks, who quickly wrapped one of her arms around Harry's waist while her free hand grabbed his crotch and squeezed, saying with a slutty grin, "Call me selfish, but you have better fuck me before you even think of sticking your cock into your slaves."

To prove her point, as soon as they entered the front door, Tonks flipped him around and shoved him against a nearby wall, shoving her tongue deep into his mouth. Not wanting to be outdone by her, Harry immediately grabbed her ass and flipped her against the wall, wrapping his tongue around hers. This caused Tonks to grab Harry's ass with both hands and shove his crotch directly against hers. Tonks broke her embrace a moment later, placing her lips next to Harry's right ear and said to him, "Your allure is bringing out an animal out from inside me, lover. So much so that I don't think that this house can contain what I'm going to do to you."

Tonks then shoved Harry down to the floor below, quickly removing her shirt and pants before kneeling down between Harry's legs and unbuckling his pants. Harry couldn't wait as he quickly lifted his ass, giving Tonks an easier time of stripping his pants and underwear off. Harry also kicked off his shoes, knowing that Tonks was practically ready to rip his pants off if he didn't. As soon as she got Harry's pants and underwear off, Tonks quickly grabbed Harry's large and thick erection and stroked it a few times before giving it a quick lick starting at the base and ending at the tip. Tonks then seductively kissed Harry's bulb before taking his whole entire length into her mouth and throat. Harry groaned and as Tonks wrapped her tongue around his shaft, bucked wildly and tried to get his cock further down her throat. After a long moment, Tonks finally slid his cock out of her lips, giving his bulb another kiss before looking directly into Harry's eyes and said, "Hope you don't mind if we skip the rest of the foreplay, because I really need this beast to fuck me."

Tonks then tore off her red silk bra and g-string panties, practically throwing them into Harry's face and she then positioned herself over Harry's crotch. With no hesitation, she sat down on top of Harry with his cock impaling her pussy completely. Tonks let out a loud scream that sounded more like a howl as she felt Harry's thick erection stretch out her pussy, and as she sat there, she looked into Harry's eyes again and said, "Fuck me, lover. Don't you dare hold back. Fuck me like you intend to breed me."

Harry's lust took over at that point, grabbing Tonks' hips and thrusting his back and forth with every intent of doing exactly what Tonks demanded. Tonks moaned and screamed as the force and the speed of the young wizard's thrust drove her into ecstasy, with her orgasm quickly approaching, which was definitely going to be the first of many by the way Harry was fucking her.

Tonks screams echoed throughout the whole entire house, so it was no surprise that Divia came down the stairs followed closely by her twin daughters, all three of them completely naked with their fingers beginning to rub their own pussies after they saw what was happening. As Tonks reached her orgasm, her pussy squeezed Harry's cock tightly, obviously trying to have him shoot his load as she cums. However, Harry gritted his teeth and holds off the urge to cum until after Tonks' orgasm subsided. When that happened, Tonks collapsed on top of Harry and kissed him passionately.

Harry flipped themselves over, putting Tonks on her back and thrusting his cock hard into her, Tonks moaning through Harry's mouth as she felt Harry's effort to get her to her next orgasm. Tonks was at a serious disadvantage at this point, as Harry knew almost all of Tonks' weak points, especially on how sensitive she was after one orgasm. She broke the embrace as Harry was pushing her to her breaking point again. As she soon hit her second orgasm, Tonks gritted her teeth and squeezed her pussy against Harry's thick shaft, determined to get the young wizard to shoot his seed inside of her, and this time Harry couldn't hold back any longer. They both screamed loudly, Tonks first as her orgasm rocked her body then Harry who growled more than he scream, shooting his sperm deep into her pussy.

"Wow, lover," Tonks smiled, a trail of sweat floating down her left cheek. "You never disappoint me. Now, I know that I wanted to be selfish and have you fuck me senseless, but I don't think Divia and the girls can wait all night. Besides, I'm quite interested in having a taste of two of your slaves while you fuck the other one. I mean, unless you don't want to share them with me."

Harry pulled out of Tonks, giving her a quick nod as he stood back up, his mind fully consumed by lust as he turned his attention to all three Patil witches. As soon as he faced them, Divia quickly dropped to her knees and crawled over to him. Both Padma and Parvati were amazed by the speed in which their mother did this, but as Divia reached Harry and opened her mouth in front of Harry's crotch waiting for her master to thrust his cock into her mouth, the twins followed their mother's example, getting on their knees and quickly approached their master. That was, of course, until Tonks got in front of the twins and blocked their path to their master."

"Didn't you hear me girls?" Tonks asked with a seductive smile, her right hand rubbing her crotch. "I asked your master if I could have a taste of two of you while he tends to your mum, and I have been waiting to unleash this trick on you for a while now, and the last time I did it, I was still a student at Hogwarts."

Both Padma and Parvati looked at each other curiously before Tonks removed her hand from her crotch and the Metamorph's clit began to enlarge to the shape of a six-inch long penis. This caused a soft gasp to come from both young witches as Tonks took a few small steps forward and placed a hand on top of each twin's head. Both girls locked their eyes on Tonks' cock-shaped clit as Tonks waved it in front of their faces. "Well girls, who's going to suck it while I eat the other one out?" Tonks asked with a short giggle.

Padma instantly grabbed it and threw it into her mouth, leaving her twin sister and pout a bit. However, as Padma began bobbing her head back and forth against Tonks' crotch, Parvati smiled and laid down on her back, spreading her legs wide and showing Tonks her moist pussy. "You know, tomorrow's our birthday," Parvati told Tonks, giving her a slight moan as the dark-skinned witch. "Both Padma and I were hoping that Master would impregnate both us and mother by Christmas night. Now that is what I call a present, don't you think?"

"You both know the law, though," Tonks uttered a soft moan as she felt Padma's tongue wrap around her penis-shaped clit. "Harry can't officially do that until he becomes a lord."

"Well, that's partly true," Padma responded after taking Tonks' clit out of her mouth. "I have been reading a lot about this, though, and through certain points in history, young heirs have impregnated their slaves prior to them becoming lords. The only exception that allowed this to happen was based on how well those future lords could conceal their slaves' pregnancies. The only way the lords could not be punished for this was based on when their slaves gave birth. If they produced a child before their master became a lord, then of course they would all be punished. However, if a slave gave birth after their master became a lord, then officially it was declared legal, as it was hard to determine when the slave was impregnated. It also matters that all slaves must be of legal breeding age when it concerns the Goblins, and for them, that's thirteen."

Tonks was more than slightly perplexed by what Padma told her, but that was only until Padma deep-throated the Metamorph's clit, which caused her to gasp out a loud moan. Tonks was forced down to her knees as another orgasm began to rise again, with Padma keeping her lips wrapped around her clit as she did so. Parvati got back to her feet quickly after that and went over to where her sister and Tonks were. Parvati then grabbed Tonks' pink hair and guided the older witch onto her back before stepping over her face and straddling her. "You did say you were going to eat one of us out." Parvati said just before she sat on Tonks' face.

All while this was happening, Divia was being face-fucked by Harry roughly. It was no surprise to Divia, though, as she had witnessed Harry kill two unarmed men earlier in the night, so she knew that her Master was blinded by his own lust. She was counting on this for a while now, as there was no greater pleasure than to feel Master Harry's cum inside of her. Divia was really hoping for Master to shoot his sperm straight down her throat, and within a minute of her wishing for it, Harry growled loudly and came straight down Divia's throat, with Harry holding Divia's head firmly in front of his crotch. Harry held her there for nearly a full minute, even after he finished orgasming down her throat, before he released her and pointed over to the sofa with an intense growl.

After taking a few deep breaths, Divia crawled over to the nearby sofa and climbed on top of it. She wiggled her ass in front of Harry as she did so, knowing that her Master was going to mount her and fuck her pussy just as roughly as he did to her mouth. Harry didn't wait long, as he walked right up to her bottom and grabbed her dark-skinned ass. However, to her surprise, it wasn't her pussy Harry was aiming for, and as soon as Divia felt the tip of Harry's cock enter her tiny ass, she couldn't help but squeal in delight. At first, Harry had difficulty fitting in all seven inches inside of her ass, but after a few intense thrusts, Divia's ass loosened up enough for her Master to give her a thorough fucking. Although she wanted that magnificent dick in her pussy, this was the first time he took her ass, and she loved it.

Harry furiously began thrusting back and forth inside of Divia's asshole, causing the witch to scream loudly, "Fuck my ass, Master! Fuck it so good that I won't be able sit down for a week!"

Parvati gave a short chuckle as she joined Harry and Divia. "That's right, mother," She said, kneeling in front of her mother's face. "Keep begging to get ass-fucked by Master. Have him wear you out that he won't be able to fuck your pussy after this. Look at Padma right now, mother. She's being fucked by Tonks missionary style. I mean, she's practically has Padma pinned down on the ground with the way she's fucking her with that clit-penis of hers. You know what that means, don't you mother. It means that I'm going to get the first opportunity to get impregnated by our Master."

"Don't... Underestimate… Me… Daughter!" Divia screamed between every word she said. "I… Promise… You… That… I… Have… More… Than… Enough… Energy… For… Master… To… Impregnate… Me… First! I… Have… Been… Taking…. Fertility… Potions… To… Make… Sure… Of...It… And Oh Merlin I'm Cumming!"

Divia shuddered as her body bucked wildly against Harry, her own ass muscles around Harry's cock and squeezing it like a vise. Harry gritted his teeth and tried not to cum, but Divia's ass was simply just too tight for him to avoid doing so. Harry growled once again as he shot a large load of hot sperm into the dark-skinned witch's ass. This caused Divia to gasp out another scream as she felt her Master's cum pour into her ass. After each of their orgasms subsided, Harry pulled his cock out of Divia's ass, and still full of energy, flipped Divia's body over to where her head was laying on the arm rest of the sofa and her back mainly on the bottom cushion. Divia wrapped her legs around Harry's waist as he positioned his thick dick in front of her pussy. However, Parvati wasn't ready to let this happen without a fight.

"No Master!" Parvati shouted, climbing on top of her mother and began fingering her own pussy as a sign of motivation. "Wouldn't you prefer to fuck a pussy that's younger, and not one that has given birth to me and my sister? Please fuck my pussy first Master and impregnate me with your future child."

"Oh no, you don't get Master's cock yet, daughter!" Divia said sternly, grabbing Parvati's hips and moving her daughter closer to her face. "Your pussy belongs to me right now. Besides, your pussy isn't ready for Master yet. Let me help prepare you."

As soon as Parvati's bottom was close enough, Divia stuck her tongue directly into her daughter's pussy. At the same time, Harry thrusted hard into Divia's pussy, giving the older Patil witch exactly what she wanted ever since Harry had fucked them during Christmas of last year: to put a baby inside of her.

Parvati gave a small pout as she saw her Master's cock enter her mother's pussy, but immediately moaned after she felt her mother's tongue lick the folds of her pussy as well as her clit. From there, Parvati couldn't help but to moan constantly from the pleasure Divia's tongue was giving her. However, Divia herself had a hard time of pleasuring her daughter, as Harry's cock pumping in and out of her was causing her to moan into Parvati's pussy. It wasn't long after that that both Parvati and Divia reached their orgasms and as they did, both screamed loudly with Divia burying her face into Parvati's pussy and Parvati grabbing her Master's head and kissing him fiercely, shoving her tongue down his throat. As soon as their orgasms had subsided, Harry had reached his and without much warning, growled into Parvati's mouth and shot several spurts of cum into Divia's pussy. Divia moaned loudly, almost orgasming again as she felt her Master's hot sperm pour into her pussy, knowing full well that his sperm would reach her fertile womb.

Divia's body went limp for a moment as she sighed contently on the sofa, her legs releasing Harry allowing him to pull out of her. However, Harry was still ensnared by his own bloodlust, so as soon as his dick was out of Divia, he wrapped his arms around Parvati's slender body and lifted her off of her mother. Parvati broke her embrace after that, giving him a weak smile and breathlessly saying, "Please fuck me real good Master, and knock me up just like you did to Mother."

Harry was really listening, though he had every intention of granting Parvati's request if he wasn't being controlled by his bloodlust. He did, however, had a sense of where he was going to fuck Parvati, and as he laid her down right next to Padma, who was breathing heavily and masturbating. Tonks was already on her way over to Divia, climbing on top of the dark-skinned witch when she got to her. Tonks then kissed Divia seductively, shoving her clit-penis into the older witch's pussy.

As Harry penetrated Parvati, Lily was watching close by, hovering just inches above her son and fingering her ghostly pussy as if it was her son's cock plowing her. It no longer surprised her about how much she lusted after her own son, as she had eagerly possessed several witches just to feel Harry's erection inside of her. Although she knew that she was only feeling what those witches were feeling, there was no question as to how each fucking felt to her. Lily knew that it was the best feeling next to her having her own body so Harry could fuck her properly. In fact, Lily began fantasizing about her son knocking her up the moment she gets her body as soon as both Padma and Parvati began talking about Harry impregnating them.

"Yes, Harry," Lily moaned into her son's ear. "Knock up all of your slaves with your children. You're making me so horny just thinking about you impregnating them. Oh Merlin, I'm cumming just from thinking about it. Oh yes Harry, fuck all of them and plant them with your seed."

Harry began pumping into Parvati faster and harder, making the young witch scream out in pleasure as she felt Harry's cock attempting to breach her womb. Parvati gripped Harry tighter, her arms and legs wrapped firmly around him, determined to make sure that her Master's sperm would enter her womb. She didn't have to wait much longer, for as soon as she hit her orgasm, Harry managed to push the tip of his dick into her womb, and as her orgasm rocked her body, Harry shot a massive dose of his juice into her. After both of them had finished cumming, Parvati smiled seductively and kissed Harry passionately, her arms and legs still wrapped around Harry's body, much to Padma's disapproval.

Padma had sprang to her feet the moment she heard Harry growl, knowing that he was cumming into her sister. After she knew both had finished cumming, Padma grabbed both of Parvati's feet and separated her sister's legs from Harry's body. "It's my turn with Master, Parvati," Padma said to her. "After he impregnates me, I promise you that we'll both get another round with him since Mother is occupied with Tonks." Padma giggled.

Parvati released her grip on Harry and glanced over at where Divia and Tonks were at. Tonks had Divia on her arms and knees fucking her from behind, every so often smacking one side of the dark-skinned witch's ass with her hand. Parvati couldn't help but to watch, moaning as she felt Harry's large and thick dick exit out of her pussy. As soon as Harry got up off of her, Parvati got onto her hands and knees, and began crawling over to the two older witches while Harry faced Padma and kissed her forcibly. Padma wrapped her arms and legs around Harry much like her twin sister did, only this time Harry managed to slide his cock into Padma's pussy before putting her down. However, Harry wasn't going to fuck her on the floor, as he was eyeing the coffee table btween the sofa and where Parvati was. Padma was already riding her Master's dick by the time Harry reached the table, bucking her hips like a wild unicorn before Harry laid her down on the table. He then laid down on top of her to fuck her thoroughly.

"Fuck me hard, Master!" Padma screamed in complete lust. "Pour your sperm into my womb just like you did to my sister and mother!"

It didn't take either of them long to reach their orgasms, with Padma screaming even louder as her orgasm rocked her, and Harry growling just as loud; both of their voices filling the house and possibly getting outside. As they both came, the coffee table beneath them broke and they both collapsed on top of it. They didn't care about any pain though, as they both were in the middle of orgasmic bliss. When it was finished, Harry rolled off of Padma, sighing contentedly as his bloodlust finally eased up a bit allowing his mentality to take back over.

"Blimey!" Harry groaned as he lifted his sore body off of the ground. He then looked up at his mother and asked, "How long was I out of it?"

"Not that long, Harry," Lily answered with a lustful smile. She floated over to him, taking a hold of Harry's still erect cock in her hand and kissing him softly on the side of his face. "Though, perhaps you're still not completely free of your bloodlust, seeing that your cock still wants to be pleased. So, how about I possess one of these ladies so you can give me a thrill."

Harry smiled back at his mum, kissing her on her ghostly lips and pointing over to Divia. Lily nodded enthusiastically and floated over to the dark-skinned witch, merging immediately with the witch as Divia was masturbating watching Parvati riding Tonks' clit-penis cowgirl-style. As soon as Lily possessed her though, Divia immediately got on her hands and knees and crawled the short distance over to Harry. The now possessed witch took Harry's large, thick dick into her mouth and began to furiously suck it. Harry grabbed the back of Divia's head again as Padma got up to her knees and joined her mother at her side. Harry pulled his cock out of Divia's mouth and quickly inserted it into Padma's. He fucked her mouth for a few seconds before returning to Divia's mouth and fucked her mouth again.

By this time, Parvati saw what Harry was doing and felt left out. So, she pulled Tonks' clit-penis out of her pussy and quickly made her way over to the group. She took the opposite side of her mother that Padma was on and as soon after that, Harry was taking turns at fucking all three Patil witches' mouths.

Tonks got up almost as immediately, getting to her feet and stroking her clit-penis as she approached the group. She got behind Divia, grabbing the possessed witch's ass and lifting it up so she could mount her from behind. Divia/Lily moaned through Harry's cock as Tonks penetrated the dark-skinned witch's ass. The possessed witch's eyes opened up in shock as she had never been taken analy by anyone other than Harry before, and after Harry took his cock out of her mouth, Divia/Lily screamed out in pleasure.

Tonks was also eyeing the butholes of both Padma and Parvati, and as soon as Harry thrust his cock back into Padma's mouth, Tonks took her hands and transformed her fingers into tiny dildos. She then placed one of her hands on Padma's butt, while at the same time her other hand went on Parvati's. By the time Harry started fucking Parvati's mouth again, Tonks was using her dildo-fingers to assault the twins' pussies and asses.

All three Patil witches were moaning and panting within moments, feeling their orgasms rise up as Harry took turns at fucking each of their faces. Within moments of this, Divia/Lily screamed out in ecstasy, soon followed by both Padma and Parvati, as they came over Tonks' clit-penis and her dildo-fingers. After their orgasms had ended, all three Patils collapsed on the ground, with Divia falling last as Lily separated herself from her at the last second and made sure that she was still sucking her son's dick. Harry was close to cumming again, so before Divia collapsed he released her head and allowed her to fall, leaving Lily to stay attached to Harry's cock. When Harry came, his sperm shot through Lily's head and landed on the Patil witchs' hair and backsides. After Harry finished cumming, he looked at Tonks with lustful intent and asked, "Feel like another round?"

From that point, Harry took Tonks for another ride, actually lifting her off her feet and fucking her against the wall next to the fireplace. After that both Padma and Parvati took turns with their Master, with him on his back and the twins taking turns riding his cock while the other one had her pussy licked by Harry. Divia was then treated to another fuck session with her laying on top of the dining table with Harry's cock deep in her pussy. Needless to say, all four witches needed vast amounts of Pepper-Up Potions to get through the night.

By the time dawn had come, everyone ended up in Divia's bedroom with Harry looking at the Patil witches, who had been completely fucked senseless and were all sleeping in Divia's bed. Tonks was drinking the last bottle of Pepper-Up potion that was in the house while Harry was being sucked off by Luna Lovegood. Harry had summoned her about an hour before the sun had risen and had been woken up by Tonks letting the young blonde-haired witch that Harry was going to fuck her.

Luna had woken up pretty quickly after that, taking off her pajamas just as quickly and laid down on the bedroom floor with her legs spread out for her master. To no one's surprise at this point, Luna had forgone wearing underwear to prepare for the eventual fucking by her Master. Not disappointing her, Harry got on top of her and pressed his cock into the blonde witch's virgin pussy. To his surprise, Harry got the first inch of his cock into her with very little difficulty, but knowing Luna, Harry figured that she had been preparing for this ever since she became his slave. However, as Harry broke her hymen, Luna let out a loud scream that surprised even her, as she realized that she wasn't truly prepared for her Master to fuck her. Luna had laid there underneath Harry for several moments quite motionless as Harry slowly fucked her, but she soon felt the pleasure of her Master's dick inside of her. Luna began to moan seductively after that and wrapped her arms around Harry. Harry took that as an indication to quicken his pace, and began thrusting harder and faster into the blonde witch's pussy. This drove Luna quickly over the edge and within a full minute of this happening, she screamed loudly again and came all over Harry's dick.

At that exact moment, Luna's eyes went white as she shook underneath her Master. Harry noticed this and stopped moving, worrying that she was having some sort of seizure or something. However, Luna was having a vision, and when her eyes returned to normal she stopped shaking and smiled at him saying, "Don't worry, Master. I just had a vision of you getting three more slaves."

"Really?" Harry smiled back at her as he began thrusting into her again. "Do you know who they are?"

"No, Master, though they looked like they were related to each other." Luna moaned out her response. "I think they were a mother and two daughters, each with long blonde hair and very slender bodies."

Harry became very aroused at hearing this, and thrusted even faster into Luna's pussy. Harry couldn't help but to imagine who these three witches were as he was drilling into Luna. "Did you see how I obtained them?" Harry felt that he had to ask.

"No, but they seemed happy that they were your slaves, almost like they were free," Luna answered as her moans became even louder. For some reason, Harry began imagining the three blonde witches that he remembered seeing just outside of Flourish and Blotts the day he went shopping for his school supplies earlies this year. Harry then remembered that Augusta mentioned them as being Veela descendants. He would've remembered that they were slaves to Lockhart, but at that moment, he was ready to cum.

Luna herself was approaching another orgasm, and actually screamed, "Cum inside me Master! It's a safe day!" as she came, wrapping her legs around Harry's butt to prevent him from pulling out. Harry growled as he shot his load into the young blonde witch's pussy. Luna screamed again in pleasure as she felt Harry's hot sperm flow into her pussy, finally releasing her grip as the last drops of sperm entered her.

Harry got back to his feet only to collapse into a nearby chair, completely exhausted from the entire night. Harry glanced up at his mother floating just above the sleeping Patils, her breathing ragged as she had possessed every witch there during those times when Harry had fucked them. All except Luna, of course; though if the blonde witch was here earlier, Lily definitely would have possessed her.

Luna got to her knees soon after she recovered from the intense fucking, crawling over to her Master and putting his cock into her mouth. By that time Tonks had gotten dressed and opened the last bottle of Pepper-Up potion. After she had finished drinking it, Tonks went over to Harry and kissed him softly, saying, "I need to give my report to Lady Longbottom and Lady Bones. I'll be sure to tell them that you're safe and sound, as well as confirm what Thaddeus has most likely told them. I won't be too long, but I do need to pick up a vast supply of Pepper-Up Potions so we can all continue these festivities."

Tonks gave him a seductive laugh before kissing him again, this time sliding her tongue into his mouth before breaking her embrace and leaving the room. Harry watched her leave, getting very aroused at the pink-haired witch's ass waving back and forth as she left the room. Harry felt a quick surge of energy and grabbed Luna's head and began thrusting his erection into her mouth. Luna had a hard time keeping up with the speed of Harry's face-fucking, gagging every so often as Harry's cock pushed into her throat. Her eyes began to water a bit as Harry felt another orgasm rise and at that moment thrusted his cock all the way into the blonde witch's mouth and throat. Harry growled one final time as he shot his load down Luna's throat and after he had finished, the exhaustion of the entire night had finally caught up to him and Harry passed out in the chair.

When Harry woke up, he found himself lying in the middle of Divia's bed with Tonks lying naked on his right side and Luna on his left. Harry was lying on his side facing Tonks with Luna's arms wrapped around Harry's chest. Harry rubbed his eyes and looked at his mother, who he noticed was floating just behind Tonks, and asked her, "How long was I asleep?"

"Just a few hours, though I practically expected you to sleep through the entire day," Lily answered with a gentle smile, floating over to her son and giving him a gentle kiss on his lips. "Divia woke up an hour ago and helped carry you to the bed. The twins also woke up around that time and went downstairs to clean up the mess everyone made. Tonks showed up just before that and after she and Divia got you into bed before she removed her clothes and laid down beside you. Luna was the only one awake for the entire time, and decided to stay next to you while you were asleep. She only just fell asleep a few minutes ago. Oh, Mr. Prenderghast is downstairs waiting to talk to you."

Harry nodded and gently removed Luna's right arm off of his body and slowly moved off the bed. Harry did his best to make sure not to wake up Tonks and Luna as he edged near the foot of the bed and got off of it. After he did, he noticed that his clothes were neatly folded and placed on the chair where he had passed out. Harry breathed a sigh of relief, as he remembered that he still had all the gifts he had bought stuffed inside of his pockets. Harry and Tonks shrank them just before they headed towards Madame Malkin's on the day they got captured by Bellatrix, so after Harry got dressed, he did a quick check to make sure that all the gifts were still in his pockets. Harry then gave one last look at both Tonks and Luna before leaving the bedroom and heading back downstairs.

"Good morning, Harry," Thaddeus said as Harry entered the living room. Thaddeus was sitting on a red recliner that Harry didn't recognize drinking a hot cup of coffee next to the fireplace. As Harry approached him, he continued, "I hope you don't mind, but after hearing a bit about what happened here last night, I took the liberty of having Topy bring in this recliner from my place in Privet Drive."

"Thank you, Professor Prenderghast, but I would prefer to replace the Patils furniture myself," Harry said, stretching out his sore body a bit. "Why are you here anyway? Are you supposed to take me back to Longbottom Manor?"

"No, but Lady Longbottom did want me and Tonks to tell you that you best return by tonight before dinner," Thaddeus answered, taking a sip of coffee afterwards. "I'm actually here to answer any questions that you might have regarding what I said at Lestrange Castle."

"Yes, but to tell you the truth, I don't know where to begin," Harry replied as he went over to the couch and sat down. He then looked around the room and noticed that the Patils we're nowhere to be seen. "Where's Divia and the twins?"

"I think that they're all in the kitchen preparing breakfast for everyone," Thaddeus said with a chuckle. He then frowned as he placed the cup of coffee on his lap while still holding it, and said, "I must first apologize for revealing much of the Coven's history, and what it pertains to you. I hope you understand that I can't reveal certain specifics about these details, but I will reveal what I can."

Harry nodded, but looked straight at Thaddeus and said, "Well, it was more of what Tonks said to Bellatrix. Something about me being Morgan Le Fey's heir?"

"Well, we don't really know for sure, but with you being the owner of Morgan's wand, we think that it's entirely likely." Thaddeus said almost matter-of-factly. "When I first found out about this, I began to trace your ancestry through your father's line, but I realized soon after that it was a mistake. Through much of Coven lore, Morgan Le Fey's descendants are all believed to be female, which means that your mother's ancestry is the one linked to Morgan Le Fey. Of course, this is all speculation, as there's no way to confirm that until we verify that you are Morgan's heir."

"How is this possible?" Harry asked, looking up at his mother, who was just as perplexed as Harry was. "Wouldn't the goblins already know of this? You know, when they tested my blood the first time I went to Gringotts."

"The goblins don't have Morgan's blood to compare yours to." Thaddeus answered, taking another sip of his coffee as he did. "Only the Coven has Morgan's blood, hidden away until a true Heir reveals herself, or in your case, himself."

Thaddeus chuckled again, somewhat louder this time as Harry looked at him strangely. "The Coven was expecting Morgan's descendant to be female, weren't they?" Harry asked after he realized what Thaddeus meant.

"Until about a century ago, yes," Thaddeus nodded. "Around that time, my mother Perenelle had a vision during a Coven gathering. I can't get into specifics about what it was yet, but it did foresee a male heir for Morgan Le Fey. Even with this, we still have doubts that her vision will come to pass."

"Are you saying that your mother had a vision about me a century ago?" Harry almost gasped. "Am I the only one mentioned?"

"No, there are others, but I must insist that you not inquire further about this," Thaddeus responded, his eyes staring directly into Harry's with purpose. "Revealing who these people are could endanger their lives or yours. You might have an idea who they are but I ask you to keep this to yourself. You can never know who might find a way to obtain this information."

"What are you saying? Does this vision actually name me and these people?"

"No, that's not how visions work Harry,. but with certain events that have surrounded you, there are people who have knowledge about Perenelle's prophecy that believe you are one of the individuals mentioned," Thaddeus answered, being extremely careful with how he answered Harry's question. "I'm going to ask you to not pry further, for doing so would break several vows I made to keep you safe, one of them would end my life if I did. Now, is there anything else I can answer before I return to Longbottom Manor?"

Harry frowned a bit as he really wanted to know what this prophecy was all about, but nodded as to show his understanding of why Thaddeus couldn't tell him any more than what he did. After a moment, Harry did realize that there was something else bugging him that Bellatrix herself mentioned. "Who killed Frank Longbottom?"

Thaddeus gave out a long sigh before he answered. "Harry, out of respect, I think it's best that you don't know yet. I have nothing against you knowing, but once you did, you would surely tell Neville, and he is simply not ready to learn this truth. For now, I can tell you that there was no hate involved in Frank's death, and many witches and wizards would consider it an act of mercy if they knew the truth. Unfortunately, if the truth is revealed to all, then the guilty person would be sent to Azkaban, and that is something we wish to avoid. This is all I can say about this."

Thaddeus then finished the last of his coffee and rose from the recliner. He was turning to the kitchen when Harry asked one final question. "I think you mentioned that you knew both my father and Frank Longbottom. I need to know, were you involved somehow with what happened that night? The night my father and Neville's father died?"

Thaddeus faced Harry and gave him a very somber look. "Was I involved?" Thaddeus asked himself silently, and then gave a small nod to Harry and said, "Yes."

December 26, 1992-Headmater's Office

Harry was sitting in the middle of the room, furious at what he was being told. He, Thaddeus, the Patils, and the Longbottom family were all summoned to Hogwarts very early that morning by Aurors. Tonks and Lily were with them, but Harry was clearly the one they wanted to talk to. Everyone in the group found it to be extremely weird that they were being sent to Hogwarts, but once they entered the Headmaster's office, they saw the real purpose of why they were there. The room was altered to look like a Wizarding trial room, with a small chair in the center of the room facing Dumbledore's desk; though Dumbledore himself wasn't sitting behind it. It was in fact Minister Fudge, with Undersecretary Umbridge standing directly behind him with a smug look on her face.

As Harry and his group all made their way further into the room, they all noticed that Dumbledore and Lockhart standing on the desk's right side while Bones and McGonagall were standing on the left. Dumbledore looked pretty calm compared to everyone else there, with Lockhart smiling like he just won a lot of gold, Bones and McGonagall frowning like someone has died, and Fudge smiling warmly, though Harry suspected that there was something else behind that smile.

Harry took the seat in front of the desk, knowing full well that the seat was meant for him. Lily floated over to Harry's left side and Tonks took his right, both witches crossing their arms trying to figure out what this was about. Both Thaddeus and Augusta took positions behind the chair, with Alice, Neville, Divia and the twins taking surrounding positions around Harry.

"Good morning everyone," Fudge said, looking at everyone across the desk. "First, allow me to say that this is not a formal inquiry about the events that took place three days ago. However, after reading the preliminary report by Miss Nymphadora Tonks, she is hereby removed as Harry Potter's protector until the bodies of Rodolphus and Rabastan Lestrange are recovered by French Aurors and a proper investigation of their deaths can begin."

That was what Harry had been frowning about after he had sat down. However, Fudge wasn't finished talking.

"Furthermore, as Miss Tonks will not be Mr. Potter's protector, I have assigned a small group of Aurors to Hogwarts to continue the investigation of these petrifications as well as keep a watchful eye on Mr. Potter while he is here at Hogwarts. Also, it has been made clear to me that Harry Potter can not be adequately protected outside of Hogwarts, so Harry Potter will remain here at Hogwarts until we can get to the bottom of these attacks."

"That's preposterous!" Augusta snapped, her eyes glaring a hole through Fudge's head. "The Ministry has no right to confine Harry to Hogwarts. He hasn't done anything to merit this."

"That we know of, Augusta," Umbridge chimed in with a short chuckle. "However, you are correct in saying that the Ministry does not have the right to confine Mr. Potter here. The Minister is only relaying this information as it came from Albus Dumbledore, who is still the boy's magical guardian."

A tense silence followed as Harry and everyone on his side of the room looked directly at the Headmaster. Dumbledore frowned slightly as he looked at Augusta and said, "Far too many events have transpired around Harry, Dowager Longbottom. Thus, I am extremely concerned with Harry's safety outside of these walls. I am so concerned about him that I have been seriously considering removing my petition against Alice from having full custody of Harry after the school term ends."

Another long silence took place as Harry's group tried to figure out what Dumbledore and Fudge were planning, but after a while, McGonagall stepped forward and said to Harry, "You are permitted to return to Longbottom Manor to gather your belongings. The Aurors outside of this room have been instructed to allow as much time as you need to pack up, though you must return to Hogwarts before curfew tonight. Also, this is completely voluntary, but any of your friends are welcome to stay here with you for the duration of the holidays. I have already made special accommodations for this, and Professor Lockhart will act as Temporary Head of Gryffindor House while I am to act as Headmistress."

"I'm sorry, what?" Was all Harry could say.

"Yes, I'm afraid that because of the recent attack of both Mr. Finch-Fletchley and Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington, the governors all signed a petition calling for my removal as Headmaster. This was headed by Lucius Malfoy, and has the signatures of eleven of the governors. The only signature that was missing was yours, Dowager Longbottom. I am grateful that you at least still have confidence in my leadership."

Dumbledore kept his emotions in check, showing no amount of pleasure or remorse in his comment. However, Augusta was fuming, her face turning red from her anger and her body shaking from it as well. It looked like she was about to shout back at the elderly wizard, but Alice stepped in front of Augusta and gently grabbed her arm to hold her back. As for Harry, he gave Dumbledore a puzzling look as he had no idea what Dumbledore was planning, but he knew that Dumbledore leaving was the Headmaster's idea, which meant that Dumbledore was counting on something bad to happen while McGonagall was in charge. But why?

"I do have other news, and it does concern the mysterious Chamber of Secrets," Fudge said as everyone was still coming to grips about Dumbledore's eventual departure. "While we are still investigating these petrifications, a former suspect in opening the Chamber has been apprehended and taken to Azkaban until we are confident that he wasn't involved in these attacks."

"Who are you talking about, Minister?" Harry asked, trying hard to keep his anger in check. "Who opened the Chamber of Secrets the last time?"

"It was Rubeus Hagrid," Bones answered, sounding very disappointed about this situation.

February 7, 1993-Hogwarts Library

"Are you listening to me, Harry?" Hermione's voice broke his concentration. "You could get in a lot of trouble with what you did during the holidays."

Harry, Neville, Hermione, and the Patil twins were all sitting at one table, books spread out in front of each of them as they were preparing for their upcoming finals. Even though it was still months away, Hermione insisted that they spend whatever free time they had during daytime studying for their finals. However, that was not what she was angry about, as Harry and Neville were close to Hermione at being top students in their year. No, it was the fact that a couple days prior Hermione had been walking with Padma and Parvati on the second floor of the school when both twins had to rush to the girls' restroom to vomit. Hermione, who was concerned, of course helped them to the Hospital Wing after the episode with Ginny assisting as she was already in the restroom apparently washing her hands. Of course, Madam Pomfrey quickly figured out what the problem was and sent Ginny to fetch Harry.

It was when Harry came to the Hospital Wing that Hermione began to suspect what was happening, and after a few minutes of Pomfrey and Harry talking out of earshot, Hermione looked at both Padma and Parvati and asked straight-blank at both of them, "You're both pregnant, aren't you? And Harry's the father, isn't he?"

The twins did not answer her, but with the glint in both of their eyes, Hermione knew what the answer was. Since that time, she had been giving Harry an earful whenever they were alone or with his slaves. That was when she wasn't getting pleased by Harry's cock herself, of course, as during those times it was hard resisting her own desire of having Harry's sperm inside of her. Not that she wanted to be pregnant herself, it was just that something inside her craved Harry's cum.

While Hermione was quietly scolding Harry, both he and Neville were still thinking about the events from the Headmaster's office that occurred the day after Christmas. "I can't believe Hagrid was the one who opened the Chamber of Secrets fifty years ago," Neville quietly said, hoping that this would make Hermione change the subject. Neville wasn't too happy himself about what Harry had done, but knew that it wasn't his place to question it. Harry secretly told Neville about this immediately after leaving the Hospital Wing after finding out from Pomfrey. Neville really didn't mind that Harry was having sex with a lot of witches, but with all of the girls pining for Harry, Neville had been beginning to feel left out.

"I think Hagrid's innocent, Neville," Harry responded, looking up at Hermione, who was giving him a menacing glare. "Hagrid may be an oaf who has a love of fantastic beasts and creatures, but he's not smart enough to open the Chamber of Secrets. He most likely doesn't even know Parseltongue."

"What does that have to do with opening the Chamber of Secrets?" Hermione asked, still extremely frustrated that Harry had been avoiding her whenever the subject of the Patils came up. However, with Dumbledore's removal and Hagrid's imprisonment after Christmas, nearly every student had been speculating for the past month about what was going to happen next. The only fortunate thing was that there had been no further petrifications. "I agree with you that Hagrid's innocent, but why does the culprit need to be a Parselmouth to open the Chamber?"

"Harry and I have been thinking about this," Neville faced her, his frown easing up a bit. "Remember that Salazar Slytherin was a Parselmouth, and if his heir like Harry could speak it too, then the Chamber of Secrets could only be opened by someone who has that ability as well. Someone who was here fifty years ago."

"That rules out all of the students then, especially Malfoy," Hermione looked at Neville. "It must be a teacher, or someone with access to Hogwarts that we don't know about. I don't know who it could be, though."

Both Harry and Neville nodded at this, and began to muse about this until Fred and George Weasley walked into the library and approached Harry's table. They were wearing their Quidditch robes and gear, reminding Harry that he and the Gryffindor team had a match today with Hufflepuff. Harry had completely forgot about this as Hermione had practically yanked both he and Neville out of their beds and marched them down to the library, only stopping just long enough for both boys to get dressed and get some food into them.

"Been looking for you, Harry," George said with a smile.

"Wood asked us," Fred said with the same exact smile.

"Need you to get in uniform for the game," Fred said.

"You're our Ace in the hole, after all," George said.

Harry nodded to them and got up from the table, looking at Neville, Hermione, and the Patil twins and said, "I'll see you guys after the game."

"The game shouldn't be too long this time," Fred said, grabbing one of Harry's arms as he backed away from the table.

"Especially with Harry as our Seeker," George said, grabbing Harry's other arm.

"Half the Hufflepuff team is terrified of Harry being on the pitch. Isn't that right, George?"

"That's right, Fred. They're all scared that Harry will petrify them if they fly anywhere near him.

Harry frowned as the Weasleys pulled him out of the library, with Neville chuckling at their pun. Neville then got up from the table, closing the books he had in front of them before picking them up. The Patils followed suit, though they moved a little bit more quicker than Neville. Only Hermione stayed seated, her hand on her chin before gasping out loud as if she figured something out.

"You alright, Hermione?" Neville looked at her and asked.

"Yes, but how could I be so stupid!" Hermione stood up immediately and exclaimed. "You and the girls run to the Quidditch pitch to cheer Harry on. I need to find a book!"

Hermione moved quickly but quietly throughout the library trying to find the book she was looking for. Neville watched her practically fly past him three times as he and the Patil twins made their way out of the library.

The Weasleys looked behind them as they let Harry go in one of the hallways. Fred then headed towards the way they came while George motioned Harry to follow him while Fred disappeared around a corner. After that, George headed for the closest door and checked to see if it was unlocked, then opened it and waved Harry inside.

They entered an empty classroom, full of old desks, chairs, and completely covered in dust. There wasn't much light as the windows were covered by old, dusty sheets, so after George closed the door, he quickly pulled his wand from behind his back and created a small ball of light with it. The room brightened up just enough to see and both George and Harry quietly waited, though Harry did not know why.

"Coast is clear," Fred quietly said as he entered the room. "Had to Confound that Auror who was following you, but I can guarantee we're alone now."

"I'm sorry, but I thought we were heading to the Quidditch Pitch. What's going on?" Harry looked at the redheaded boys and asked.

"We've been noticing the amount of Aurors that arrived at Hogwarts since January," George said while trying to keep his voice down.

"Especially the fact that one or two of them are always following you from one place to the other," Fred said immediately after.

"Hard for a wizard like you to have some proper fun," George said.

"A son of a Marauder should be allowed to cause amook wherever he goes," Fred added.

Lily floated into the classroom moments after, watching Fred pull out a folded piece of parchment and handing it to Harry. Both Lily and Harry looked curiously at the parchment, but after a moment, George tapped his wand on the parchment, saying, "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good."

Immediately after George removed his wand, the blank parchment began to fill up with assorted diagrams and pigmentations, until words at the top part of the parchment appeared clear for everyone to read: "Messrs Moony, Padfoot, Wormtail, and Prongs are proud to present to you the Marauders' Map."

"We owe them so much, isn't that right, Fred?" George's smile grew wider.

"We nicked from Filch our very first year, we did," Fred boasted. "Ever since then, we've been searching for their true identities."

"Prongs was actually the first, as your father had a talent for finding trouble, but we didn't put it together until after first talking to Peeves." George followed up.

"James Potter!" Lily exclaimed, half-angry, half-proud, of this map that until now she had no knowledge about. As Harry opened the parchment up and looked through it, Lily continued, "He never told me about this map. I swear if I ever see Sirius or Remus again, they'll never hear the end of it from me."

"Ah, so we were right!" Fred half shouted joyfully. "We knew that Harry's father often traveled with Remus Lupin and Sirius Black, but we didn't know that they were Marauders themselves. Peeves only referred to them by their Marauder names, and after we found out that James Potter was Prongs, he remained tight-lipped about who was who."

"So what were Remus Lupin's and Sirius Black's Marauder names?" George looked up at Lily and asked. "One of them has to be Moony and the other has to be Padfoot. After some of the stories we've heard, neither one of them sound like a Wormtail to us."

"You're right about that," Lily chuckled at both Fred and George. "Unfortunately, I think that it's best that I don't reveal which is which to you. If the Marauders are your idols, then I suggest you find one of them and ask them yourselves. After all, where's the fun in me just telling you."

Both Fred and George looked at each other for a moment before looking back up at Lily and saying together, "Challenge accepted, Mrs. Potter."

While this was going on, Harry was looking through the map, and was quite amazed and astounded by it. As he went through the various parts of the map, he noticed that there were moving footprints along the map, along with the individual's name written in a floating rectangle. "Hang on, is this really everyone in Hogwarts?" Harry asked, his eyes glued to the map.

"It shows everyone. Where they are, who they're with, and where they're going," Fred answered, looking back at Harry.

"I wouldn't show it to anybody else though, especially those close to you," George chimed in. He then placed his wand over the parchment again, saying, "No offense, but both Neville and Hermione would probably blab that you have this. So, whenever you get close to somebody, tap your wand on the map and say…"

"Mischief managed!" Both Fred and George said in unison. "Or else anyone can read it."

As the map faded away, returning to a blank parchment that it once was, Harry put it into his back pocket and followed the Weasley twins back out of the dusty old classroom and headed straight for the Quidditch Pitch, with a quick stop over at Gryffindor Tower so Harry could change into his Quidditch uniform of course.

Nearly an hour later, Harry and the Weasley twins were sitting in the Gryffindor team hut with the Chasers sitting close to Harry. Angelina was even bold enough to grab Harry's crotch just to give his dick a squeeze, whispering in his ear, "If we win by more than two hundred points, I'll let you do whatever you want to me."

This awakened a bit of Harry's lust, giving Angelina a soft, seductive growl while Wood was saying, "If we play our game, then Hufflepuff doesn't stand a chance."

Everyone stood up after that, grabbing their brooms and began to make their way out. However, Professor McGonagall stopped them from exiting, holding a roll of parchment in her hand and looking at the entire Gryffindor team and said, "This match has been cancelled."

"You can't just cancel Quidditch, Professor McGonagall!" Wood said almost immediately after, pain in his eyes from this fact.

"Silence Wood," McGonagall sternly replied. "You will guide your team back to Gryffindor Tower immediately. With the exception of Mr. Potter."

Wood stood there for a moment, but nodded his understanding and led the Chasers and the Weasley twins out of the hut. After they left, McGonagall looked at Harry with sorrow in her eyes. It was apparent to Harry that she was trying very hard not to cry.

"Mr. Potter," She said to him, making it clear in her tone that this was a serious matter. "You and I will locate Mr. Longbottom and the Patil twins. There's something I think you all need to see."

A short while later-Hospital Wing

"Hermione!" Harry screamed in rage as he saw her after McGonagall led them about halfway into the Hospital Wing. Both he and Neville rushed to the bed with Padma and Parvati following directly behind them. Hermione was frozen stiff on the bed surrounded by Madam Pomfrey, Professor Lockhart, Luna, and Thaddeus. Harry and Neville immediately took her right side, with Harry grabbing her wrist and Neville tearing up. The Patils took the base of the bed, both of them tearing up as well, grabbing the cold, metal rail of the bed.

"What happened?" Neville cried, grabbing Hermione's upper arm gently, noticing that Lockhart was strangely smiling. Neville angrily glared at the pompous wizard and shouted, "You're responsible for this, aren't you?"

"I surely am not, Mr. Longbottom, and I would remind you that even though this is a troubling matter; you best address me in the manner a student does to his teacher," Lockhart dropped his smile and said. "However, this is a traumatizing matter, so I will not pursue this further. It was I who discovered Miss Granger petrified in one of the hallways as I was on my way to the Quidditch Pitch. Oh, and Miss Clearwater as well."

Everyone except for Harry and Neville looked over at the Hospital bed across from where Hermione was. The tall, slender blonde-haired Penelope Clearwater laid petrified in a similar manner as Hermione, with Percy Weasley sitting in a chair in tears by her bed.

"She was found with this," McGonagall said softly, picking up a mirror from the end table next to the bed. She then handed it to Harry and asked, "Does this mean anything to either of you?"

Harry took the mirror but shook his head. Neville did as well, adding, "We were all in the library just before Fred and George got Harry for the game. I shouldn't have left her."

Harry looked at Neville and placed a hand on his Godbrother's shoulder saying, "It wasn't your fault, Neville. If you, Padma, and Parvati would have stayed, then you would all probably be petrified along with Hermione."

Harry then looked at McGonagall and asked, "Was Hermione carrying anything else? A book, a scroll of parchment, anything that might indicate who or what did this."

McGonagall shook her head, saying, "All Miss Granger was carrying was this mirror. We already checked her hands to see if anything else was in her possession. Unfortunately, the mirror was all we could find."

A brief pause occurred and somehow Harry's eyes turned to Lockhart, who was once again smiling, with his hands hiding behind his back. However, before Harry had a chance to question Lockhart about this, McGonagall continued speaking to Harry.

"Because of this recent attack, I have asked Minister Fudge to have Miss Tonks to be returned as your protector," McGonagall said to Harry. "The investigation of both Rodolphus and Rebastan Lestrange's was concluded by the French Ministry and found no discrepancies in Miss Tonks' account of what occurred. Once she returns, I strongly advise that you, Mr. Longbottom, and the Patils do not leave her sight until the culprit is found."

Harry nodded, but kept his eyes locked on Hermione. After a while, McGonagall had everyone leave the Wing so everyone there could be left alone peacefully.

An Hour before Dinnertime-Lockhart's Office.

Lockhart smiled boastfully as he entered his office and walked over to his trunk. He was holding the piece of paper that he found in Miss Granger's hand after she had gotten petrified. It was torn from a book in the library about snakes, and this page was the solution to the riddle of the Chamber of Secrets.

"Clever girl, Granger, but look where it got you," Lockhart chuckled to himself as he opened his trunk and stepped inside of it. "If you had shown this to Potter, he would have figured nearly everything out. Alas, it will be I who shall get the glory of killing the basilisk and be declared the hero of Hogwarts. Then, after Potter's confidence is shattered, you and all those witches who swarm around him will be mine for the taking."

As Lockhart descended into his trunk, his chuckle turned into a loud laugh. However, after he entered his trunk, he forgot to close the top, completely unaware that he had been followed by the young blonde-haired Ravenclaw witch.

Luna slowly entered the office a moment after Lockhart entered his trunk, a frown on the young girl's face. She had a vision about the Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor early that very morning, but the vision was just of Lockhart standing in a strange room with two familiar females that Luna recognized from another of her visions. One of them was an adult, while the other was the youngest of the witches. Luna did have a clearer image of the young girl, though, and she looked like she was a couple of years younger than Luna herself, perhaps nine or ten years of age. However, Luna wanted to do more than just give her Master another vision. She wanted to prove her worth and locate where these witches were.

Luna slowly stepped into Lockhart's opened trunk and felt a staircase beneath her feet. Silently walking down, she closed the trunk over her head absentmindedly and entered a room that looked much like a small living room. However, there was just a small orange recliner and a small end table next to it. Unfortunately, Luna did not see Lockhart anywhere in the room, though she did see the two blonde females she saw in her vision.

"You must leave!" The adult blonde-haired female said quickly. Luna looked at the older blonde witch curiously before taking a step back and turning around, only to be greeted by Lockhart pointing his wand directly at the young blonde Ravenclaw and smiling sinisterly.

"Clever witch," Lockhart said. "Unfortunately, you won't be able to tell anyone about this, since you won't be leaving here ever again. Petrificus Totalus!"

A bolt of energy immediately shot from Lockhart's wand and enveloped Luna, freezing her where she stood. Luna then fell to the floor, with Lockhart laughing even more loudly. After that, Lockhart kneeled down over Luna and touched the side of her face. It was then that the pompous wizard noticed that Luna had a slave collar around her neck, with a golden "P" attached to it.

"Potter," Lockhart frowned and cursed. "It looks like I need to kill you Master before I can have my way with you."

Later that very evening-Hogwart's Halls

"I don't want to do this anymore," Ginny Weasley said silently as she was hiding against a corner while the Bloody Baron was patrolling the hall. It was nearly midnight when Ginny snuck out of bed and left Gryffindor Tower to head to the Chamber of Secrets. "You promised me that Harry would be mine if I did all this, but with Hermione petrified, if Harry finds out that I'm the one who did it, then he will never love me."

At that moment, a hand mysteriously appeared and gently put upon Ginny's left shoulder. From there, a tall, slender brunette wizard slowly began to take form behind the young redhead. "There's a way to undo everything, Ginny. We just need to enter the Chamber one last time," The male wizard said to her. "To do so, you must let me control you once again."

Ginny began to tear up a bit, and turned to face the wizard. "I don't want to hurt anyone else, Tom," Ginny said to the wizard, who looked like he was almost an adult. "I just want things to go back to the way it was when I first got here."

"And so it shall, Ginny," Tom said to her, getting down on one knee to face her properly. "I promise you that you won't have to hurt or harm anyone else anymore. We just need to go into the Chamber and everything will work out."

Ginny wiped the tears from her face, then nodded her understanding. She then turned back and looked around to see that the Blood Baron had left the hallway. She then made her way towards the second floor girls' restroom, leaving the form of Tom Riddle looking at her following his command, smiling to himself sinisterly. Back where they came, close to the Great Hall, he had Ginny leave another message to the students and staff of Hogwarts:

Her Skeleton Will Lie In The Chamber Forever

To all of my readers who have waited very patiently for this chapter, I wanted to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart because all of you have kept me going with wanting to write. Now, let me assure you that I have no intention of giving up on Corruption of Lily Potter. This was my first story I ever posted and it does hold meaning to me. Also, I strongly believe in finishing anything I do, so this story will have an end. However, as many of you will realize, the Prologue of this story doesn't really work anymore. Many characters shown or mentioned in the future part of that chapter are going to have much different arcs than what I originally wrote, so please disregard that part of the Prologue going forward.

Now, for those who want more of Bellatrix, I am going to do a whole chapter focusing mostly on her. It will include her meeting with Andromeda and Narcissa, and reveal much of what will happen to certain characters during the third year arc. Also, for the Patils, it was basically a coin flip for me on whether or not to have Harry impregnate them, but I think it works for where Harry is eventually going to go.

Finally: I only have two questions in regards to what I'm planning in the third year arc, and they are:

What should the third year arc be called?

There will be a huge battle between the Human Supremacists and Hogwarts students and teachers where certain people will die, who should I kill off? Please note that Grindelwald and Dumbledore are exempt from this, and Vernon will be killed off somewhere else.

Thank you for reading and please leave a review. Chapter 22:The Chamber of Secrets is being written and will have it posted at the beginning of next year if not earlier. Major Spoiler: Major Character Death!
