Molly Weasley was nervous. No, she was downright petrified. Al Prewitts conditions where very clear.
"I get your sixthborn son for your family's guaranteed eternal happiness. Do we have a deal?" Alastor asked as he held out his hand and magical sickly green aura swirled about.
Reluctantly, in tradition with the Prewitt laws, Molly shook Alastor's hand.
"Excellent Molly my dear you won't regret this. Your family may suffer hard times but I personally will guarantee their happiness. See you in two decades!"
And now her sixthborn son was shuddering in his bed. Only able to keep small amounts of soup in his belly for now. What the Potter boy did she had no idea, but and she hated herself for thinking this, she hoped Ronald would eventually die from this just so she wouldn't have to give him to Alastor.
"I know what you did Molly."
Molly yelped and nearly dropped the bowl of soup.
"It's such a shame you didn't trust in me." Alastor brushed Ronald's reddish grey locks. "I could have made him such a great mage."
"You-you wanted a student?" Molly asked.
"Yes what exactly did you think I keep making deals within the family for?" The Overlord asked as he twirled his staff.
"Yo-you where a cannibal." Molly said. "I assumed-"
"You know what they say Molly my dear when you assume you make an ass of yourself! I'll come check on him periodically through my shadow." He sank through the shadow and it went into Rons shadow from his bed.
"What did I do?" Molly asked. What did I dohoohoo." She started crying as she held her son."
The next morning, a letter arrived in fancy aristocratic writing.
"To Molly and Arthur Weasley, from the desk of Prince Stolas Goetia." Arthur read to Molly and Ginny.
"I do wish we could have met under better circumstances. My son Harry feels incredibly remorseful over his actions two days ago. I would like to arrange a meeting between parents to discuss proper penance. He is losing sleep over this the poor thing."
"That's right, Harry is a victim too." Arthur said sadly. "Dear me dear me. I don't want him to lose his health over this he didn't know Ronald had been bewitched. Molly what do you think?"
"On neutral ground perhaps?" Molly suggested.
"Hogwarts?" Arthur asked.
"Yes with the Heads Of Houses as mediators."
Stolas the next day received his reply.
Lord Stolas,
we accept your offer of a penance discussion on these terms, Hogwarts as neutral ground with the boys respective Heads of Houses as mediators.
Lord Weasley, Is the next Full Moon acceptable?
Lord Stolas
Of course your highness. We accept the Full Moon date and hope your son recovers. Please let him know Ronald is recovering as well. Slowly but surely.
Harry has been suspended from school for a week. And he was absolutely miserable. He did nothing but stay in his dark room. With his curtains closed around his bed.
"Young Master Of I have to I will shove food down your throat."
"Kinky." Harry sad half heartedly before turning over.
Boxley sighed sadly. He had heard what happened at the mortal school. Harry had used his power to psychologically scar a mortal child.
"I've taken care of you from the day you and Blitzy moved in like you where my own son." Boxley said. "I carried you on my rounds, I changed your nappies and taught you your numbers and abcs have no intention of letting you waste away"
Harry turned over to see Boxley with a lunch for him including a couple of sandwhiches some cheesy doodles and a soda. He set the bed tray over Harry's legs as he sat up and began to eat.
"Now, Master Stolas has informed me the Weasleys have agreed to a penance litigation at Hogwarts on the next Full Moon.
"The Full Moon? But that's when Papa and Dad have their...nights together."
"It's called being a parent Young Master. Being a Parent takes priority over spousal relations."
"Knock knock." Blitzo appeared at the doorway knocking. "How's it going? Thought I'd come visit on my lunch break."
"He's being an absolute tit if youpardon my language sir."
"And I brought a certain boy wizard a banana shake." Blitzo said in a sing songy tone holding the large shake in front of his nose teasingly.
Harry snatched the shake and started slurping.
"That's my good boy." Blitzo patted Harry's leg as Boxley took the tray away. "Look I'm a demon I can't sit here and pretend to understand the concept of remorse or guilt but I'm not a complete monster i do understand some human concepts like love and affection and vengeance. I don't necessarily blame you for going as far as you did. I know you two had beef and he was going to snitch on your new friend about Hotaru."
Harry had named the Haze Dragon Hotaru. She wouldn't get much bigger for hundreds of years far beyond Harry's mortal lifespan. She was currently dosing in her basket in the red tinted Hell Sun on Harry's window seat.
"You did what you thought you had to do and you just went too far. I won't fault you for that because I've always taught you to never hesitate. As have Millie and Moxxie. By the way-"
Harry yelped as Blitzo smacked the back of his head. "That's from Millie telling you to get your shit together. You fucked up. Your being punished for it twice because you insist on proper penance to the Weasley family. I've got to go back to the office." Blitzo hugged Harry. "No matter what happens, I will NEVER stop loving you."
Harry watched his dad leave and closed his door. He then got out of bed and went over to his desk to start writing.
