AN: If you're all worried about Harry and his friends' bond don't be; sure I plan for it to go downward in this fic but it'll pick back up later. Need to make it interesting, right? Also, I've seen the game trailer and decided something.


Ch 21 May Retribution Begin Pt2

Dumbledore looks at the group that was with Harry, he saw Diablo, Ultima, and Gabiru standing behind this Rimuru person. Now there's more, the two whore with their breast out like it was nothing, then the giant wolf-like creature he saw was gone, probably somewhere in the school.

Then the strange two maids that stood behind the man Guy Crismon and the proclaimed white-haired Aunt of Harry Potter. No, all of them are extremely strange and seem to be hiding something.

He tried to see if they got anything useful he could use in their minds. But something was preventing that from happening.

{Notice: Unauthorized personal detected. Commencing barrier to resolve the matter.}

A voice within Rimuru's head shouted at him. This was all strange, however, he was prepared for all the possible outcomes when Harry's supposed father showed his face; in truth, he didn't expect him to be so…feminine and short.

Rimuru laughs at his son's story about his time here. He then notices Shion leaning toward him. "(Rimuru-sama, that old man is staring at us suspiciously.)" the disguise Wicked Oni informs her Lord. "(Shall I dispose of him?)"

Rimuru sighs, shaking his head. "(No Shion, remember we're only to hear Harry's progress and the hearing of Lockhart.)" he reminded his secretary of their purpose.

"(Very well, Rimuru-sama.)" Shion steps back in line with Albis and the others.

"S-So, M-Mr. Tempest, what do you do for your work?" Molly asked the Demon Slime before her.

"Well, I'm a leader of Tempest. A business I founded, it's a business that is hidden from the outside world." Rimuru fibs a bit, feeling that if he told them about them being from another dimension will be…chaotic.

Rimuru looks over to Guy, tasting the Pumpkin Juice, and made a disgusted expression. "Guy over there has a business of his own too. It's in a cold region that no being can withstand without proper equipment." He explains to the group.

Velzard let out a small giggle, being the reason why her and Guy's home is cold.

"I see, so these people around us are-"

"Our subordinates, they follow whatever we say, right?" Guy looks at Rein and Misery standing behind him.

Rein and Misery nodded, inclining her head. "'Yes, Guy-sama." The replied.

The Weasleys and Grangers observe the subordinates of Rimuru and Guy. Noticing how quiet and still they were, it was obvious they're extremely loyal to their masters.

"W-We can tell, Diablo and the others were very vocal on their loyalties were," Hermione commented, observing their statements before Harry's arrival.

Jasmine looks at Veldora, Velgrynd looking at the food, then at Velzard sitting with Guy scolding them for looking at their food. Rimuru gave a light smile, sighing at the scolding. "I must say, you all don't look like siblings at first glance," The Muggle stated, receiving looks from the three True Dragons. "But when I take a closer look, you truly are siblings by the way you are acting."

"Thank you?" Veldora questions, unsure if that was a complement or an insult.

"I think it's a complement." Velgrynd looks at her nephew for an answer, receiving a nod from him.

They chatted for a bit before Dumbledore got to the stand. He cleared his throat, gaining both the students and parents looked over to the Headmaster, standing on the podium. "Thank and welcome to Hogwarts dear parents. I know how the students and parents missed each other during the few months and that's why we have these two weeks for the parents to know their children's progress here at Hogwarts." He announced.

"During the course of two weeks, you have the opportunity to get reconnected and get to know their respectable Professor." Dumbledore heard a snicker coming from the Tempest group, he saw Veldora snickering at on 'respectable' Professor.

Disregarding that, Dumbledore continued onwards. "In any case, during this event, the school has extended the rooms so each student's family can have a place to stay." He looks around the hall before concluding his evening announcement. "So starting tomorrow, once the students are done with their classes, the parents may coming one at a time receiving their children's report and any additional comments from said Professor." He added.

With that said and done, everyone finishes with their dinner and went to their children's houses.


Harry smiles, standing with his father in the Gryffindor Common Room. The others went to the rooms that the school provided for them to get their rest for tomorrow. Albis and Ultima went straight to the infirmary to analyze the victims. "Dad, are you sure you want to do this? I mean yeah my arm is pretty much fucked up right now, but taking this to the school-"

"Harry, first don't say that word until you're eighteen." Rimuru scolded his son for saying an inappropriate word first. "Second, yeah I want to take this far. Schools are for learning and making sure student is unharmed. What that idiot did to you is out of his digestion, he was to make sure you arrive at the infirmary without further injuring you." He looks at his son, explaining why he needs to do this.

"Trust me, when you have children of your own you'll understand how I'm feeling right now." Rimuru grins at his son, seeing that he understood his lecture. He took a good look around his old Common Room, seeing it changed a bit since he was James Potter. "I see they rearrange some furniture while I was gone."

Harry looks around, remembering the old photos of his father's generation of him and some friends at the Common Room. "Yeah, they change it sometime before. I think last year when the term was ending." He smiles.

The door open, Albis and Ultima returned from their investigation of the petrified victims. "So, what you two figured out?" Rimuru asked the two subordinates.

"This is very new to me, never in my lifetime I've seen petrification such as those in the infirmary." Albis shared her thoughts about the petrified victims.

Ultima sighs, placing her hand on her side, "I've started to research the Mandrake Restorative Draught's notes. Though the side effects are less than pleasurable for further prevention to petrification." She informed them.

Harry looks up at Rimuru, thinking of an idea. "How about your Full-Potions? It might work." He suggested to the group.

"That's all good, but I don't think they could prevent any situations like this one," Rimuru explains, wanting the victims to have a petrification resistance. "I want them to never experience this again Harry."

"That's why you brought Ms. Albis." Harry looks at the Naga, nodding in response.

Albis hand her hand out, "When Rimuru-sama request my assistance about children being petrified here, I had an idea that we use a potion that reduces the chances of petrification." She explains her personal project she worked on for years. "It showed much progress, however, our investigation was halted when I'm unable to pinpoint the origins. So I'm remaining here until the potions are complete." She informed the two.

Harry's eyes widen at what the Lycanthrope told him. "Really?"

The Naga smiles, nodding to the young Majin's question. "Yes, my Lord." Noticing the son of her ally is getting tired.

Rimuru saw his son yawning, he looks at the time and realized how late it was. "Welp, you better go to bed Harry. It's late and you need your strength for tomorrow's hearing." He ushers the young boy to bed.

"Yeah, you're right. Goodnight Dad." Harry waved, walking to his room.

The Demon Lord looks over at the two subordinates waiting for orders. "What is your orders, Rimuru-sama?" Albis asked the Slime, knowing that she falls under his command when she's with him.

"I have a strange feeling around the whole school, I want you two to investigate." Rimuru orders the two Majins.

"Yes sir." Ultima and Albis responded, vanishing in thin air.

Rimuru walks to his room, readying himself for tomorrow.

The next day Rimuru sat next to Harry on a table in front of Hogwarts's staff with Shion and Diablo on each side. Veldora, Velgrynd, and Velzard sat behind Rimuru and Harry, Guy, and the other subordinates, listening to what they have to say.

McGonagall stood up from her seat, going to do the introduction. "Welcome to the private hearing of the Tempest family and the Hogwarts's staff. As you were informed, one of our staff has seriously extended the student, Harry Tempest's injury which led to the loss of his bones in the arms." She readdresses the issue to the private hall.

"As there were many witnesses to this, there's no need for proof." McGonagall looks over to her former student who had a cocky expression on his face.

Dumbledore cleared his throat, stepping in the introduction. "However, we will let Professor Lockhart a chance to defend himself." He looks at Rimuru who seems oddly quiet. "Without further ado, let's begin."

Lockhart cleared his throat, stepping down from his seat. "Mr. Tempest, was it? I assure you I have the greatest intention for Harry," The fool explains with empathy, trying to play with the Slime's emotion. "I understand that you must be heartbroken by receiving that letter from your Butler." He smiles at Diablo who responded with an intense glare.

The blonde sweats, feeling the glare pierce his soul. "Hem, a-anyways. Mr. Tempest notes that I care for Mr. P-Tempest like he was my apprentice. So please understand this was well in good intentions." He smiles.

Dumbledore claps his hands, standing from his seat. "As you can see, Professor Lockhart cared for Harry. He acted brashly that his spell backfired, but from what I saw on that day is that Harry has adopted some questionable actions." He looks over to Lockhart if he picks up on his words.

"Ah yes, Mr. P-Tempest has displayed some dangerous actions and-"

"This is relevant to this case…because?" Rimuru asked, noting that Harry did some risky moves on his broom.

Lockhart gulps, unsure how to answer. 'W-Well, because if Harry didn't perform those movements then he wouldn't get hurt or-"

"The point being that you've taught Harry how to perform those dangerous movements and lead him to gain his injury." Dumbledore inquired. "So the fault that your own adopted son's injury is on your part-"

Harry stood up from his chair, looking at the headmaster. "NO! Dad isn't at fault, he was concerned that this might happened but I pushed him to let me do it!" He defended his father.

"What's your take, Mr. Tempest?" Flitwick asked the Slime, wanting to hear his side.

Rimuru looks up at Lockhart then the four three staff members. "I admit I have let Harry train under my subordinates. I was against it at first however, my son was passionate to learn self-defense; I'm sure if you saw things in my eyes then you'll understand." He stated, receiving some passionate expression from his allies, including McGonagall and Flitwick.

"But still, it didn't excuse his actions." Lockhart continued, making a big deal of it. "Without my interference then Harry-"

"Would suffer worst than he already is?" Rimuru raised his eyebrow, his voice a bit aggressive. "Let say if he injured his leg, or sprain his ankle, or God forbid injured his neck or spine? Would your so-called healing spell heal that?"

Lockhart nodded, having full confidence that it would. "Of course, I've studied my spells from assort of people when I was traveling. I'm sure you all heard it from my books." He winks at Shion who clicks her tongue, receiving an angry expression from her.

The blonde shook it off and went on with his tangent. "Back to what I'm saying, my spells can save people and your son is one of the unlucky few who didn't react to the spell." He waved his hand. "After all, he might've been faking it." He went on without realizing that he dug his hole deeper.

"What!?" Veldora growls.

"EXCUSE ME!?" Velgrynd stood up, making sure she didn't hear wrong.

Velgard remained silent, but very much enraged by the words that had just been spoken about his beloved Nephew.

"Why you little-" Rimuru held out his hand, stopping Shion and Diablo from killing Lockhart.

Dumbledore could tell from the room that this was failing. He had hoped that with Lockhart's rambles that could convince Rimuru to give up Harry and hand him over, but the fool overdid it.

Harry knew that Lockhart is dead either if he apologies right now or not. He could feel that everyone is beyond angry. "(Bad move, Dumbledore,)"


{Answer: Yes,}

'There's no need to answer, Great Sage.' Harry looks up at the ceiling. 'It's already over,'

"You know, you have some balls to say that Lockhart," Rimuru said in a low tone.

Lockhart looks at Rimuru, not getting what he means. "What do you mean, Mr. Tempest? I'm stating the obvious, your son and I are quite the same. He and I are famous people," He stated, "It's clear that he's still new being famous and all. There's no need to ve violent about it." He said, taking not the hostility from his voice.

"Violent? That wasn't violent." Rimuru said,

Lockhart turns to Rimuru, confused about what kind of violent definition he meant. "What does-" Lockhart and the other Professors moves to the side, seeing the table was kicked towards them.

"W-Wha-" Lockhart was hyperventilating, never experience someone actually kick a table at him.

Dumbledore held onto his heart from the sudden action of the Slime. He looks over to Rimuru, his leg still in place when he kicks the table. "M-Mr. Tempest! That's no way to treat an innocent man-"

"That man is no innocent, I rather find it odd to let a faker inside the school Headmaster." Rimuru walks up to the teacher's desk, Harry remains calm as usual getting his father's anger. "It seems you forgotten the meaning of this hearing. My son was injured by your staff, by the Professor you hired, and you didn't do any repercussions other than forbidden him to heal students again."

Rimuru eyes glowed, sending fear to the Headmaster. "B-But, Professor Lockhart has proven that-"

"He hasn't proven anything. He just stole people's achievements and used memory charms to change them into him doing it." Rimuru turns to Lockhart, shock that he was able to figure out the secrets behind his books. "What you hired is a fraud, an incompetent fool who isn't talented at all." He announced to the whole hall.

Lockhart was stunned, never had he had someone figure out his secrets. "H-How did you-" That was a confession right there if Harry knows it.

"Diablo and my son could figure you out easily." Rimuru glared at the faker, sweating like a pig right now. "Now, since your Professor didn't describe what he said on his resume when applying as Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher-"

Dumbledore cleared his throat, already prepared for this mishap if it comes to it. "And do you have proof that Professor Lockhart lied on his resume? Maybe you're just making it all up?" he inquired.

Diablo lets out spine-shivering laughter, "Kufufufufufufu, Headmaster Dumbledore. I took it upon myself to do some minor investigation. The people that Pro-nay, Mr. Lockhart said he rescued in his books, they only recall that Lockhart saved them."

"Yes, that's right. During my adventures around the world, I saved countless-"

"However, they recall that one person request that he should tell them something. Something that they felt they've done before. After I spoke to them, I help them recall the fuzzy memories. " Diablo looks at Shion, taking an envelope from Shuna behind her.

Diablo grins, "As you can see, these are letters of familiar Wizard names from Lockhart's books." The Wicked Oni handed the letters to the three Professors on the table. Each read the angry letters, relaying that the person who requested to tell their story was indeed Lockhart. To even support the evidence, they've signed their names in their signature.

"N-No, t-this is surely a setup!" Lockhart explains, nervous that his life's work of cheating and falsehood is coming to an end. He looks around, a bit frustrated that he's been found out. "YOU CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT THIS MUGGLE IS SAYING!?" he exclaims.


Guy, Shion, Rein, Misery, Ranga, Veldora, and Rimuru got a bit of DeJa'Vu from the way Lockhart is shouting. He's like a certain weak Demon Lord with his lies and manipulations. "You know, you remind me of a man that was a part of the Octagram before the change." Rimuru walks up to the nervous Lockhart.

"W-What?" Lockhart lets out a nervous laugh.

"Clayman, a foolish Lord whose lies and manipulation was his downfall," Rimuru explains, hearing Guy chuckles behind the Three Dragons. "That is before I took take of him."

Lockhart gulps, unsure what Rimuru is going to do with him. "A-And what did you do to this Clayman p-person?" The foolish Wizard asked, feeling a powerful punch in his stomach.

Rimuru leans in, "He disappeared." He pulled his hand out, letting Lockhart fall on the floor groaning in pain. The Slime smiles, sighing in relief wanting to do that for a long time. "Man I need that!" He exclaims.

Dumbledore saw the whole transgression before his eyes. He observes that this was not a normal man he was dealing with, he's prepared, cunning, smart, and brave to say what's in his mind. For now, he needs to tread carefully if he planned to succeed.

Though he needs to make some improvements for this unforeseen element. Dumbledore's eyes shift to Harry, smiling that this happened; he needs to get the key factor back into his light. It's for the Greater Good after all. "Headmaster? What you say?"

Dumbledore blinks, turning to his Deputy Headmistress. "What is it, Minerva?"

"We've taken a vote that Mr. Lockhart should be terminated immediately due to the forgery he did," McGonagall explains to the old Wizard.

Dumbledore knew there's nothing he could do to defend Gilderoy's case. He needs to let him go, "Very well, from here and moving forward; Professor Gilderoy Lockhart is terminated from his position as Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor. He shall be removed from the school's premise immediately an-"

Guy smiles, standing up from his seat. "Mr. Dumbledore, allow us to take responsibility for Mr. Lockhart. Since you disown him as a Professor, it makes him available with his free time." The Primordial Demon of Red smirks.

"A-And what you're going to do, Lord Crismon?" Flitwick asked the Demonic Entity of his plans for the faker.

"Ara, that's not your concern anymore." Velzard stood up from her seat. "Rein, Misery take Mr. Lockhart in your custody." The maids inclined their heads, appearing on top of Lockhart's body.

"Hai, Velzard-sama." They responded, each one took one arm and disappeared.

Dumbledore stood up from his seat, wanting to say something. "Wait, we should let-" He didn't finish, for they already took him away.

Rimuru walks over to his son, smiling at him. He then turns to the three Professors behind them. "If that's all for the hearing, I do believe we have finished our business here." He said to the three.

"It seems so, Rimuru-sama," Shion responded.

McGonagall nodded, standing from her seat. "Yes we are, you all are excused." She motions them they can leave.

Everyone stood up and incline their head. "Thank you, very much." With that everyone left the hall and prepared to meet the teachers individually for the rest of the week.

In a disclosed dimension Lockhart woke up, finding himself somewhere he didn't recognize. "W-Where am I?" He questions, seeing the starry sky above him.

"You're in the Octagram's meeting room. A separate dimension from the outside world." Lockhart felt a chill down his spine, his eyes turns around to a silver-haired girl with red and blue eyes in gothic clothing.

"W-Who are-"

The girl leans in, whispering in his ears. "I'm known as the Queen of Nightmares and Vampires," Lockhart's eyes widen being next to a vampire this close to him.

"But you may call me the Demon Lord, Luminous Valentine." The Demon Lord introduces herself to the now terrified human. "On my fellow Demon Lord, Guy Crismon's request, I have many questions for you about this Dumbledore character and your Wizarding Community." Her eyes glowed red and fang bare for him to see.

"D-D-DEMON LORD!? NGH!" Lockhart panics as Luminous got close to his head. "NO! GET AW-AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"
