Chapter 4: Dealing With Devils- Part II

He said to Dursley's "Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, your son is a Wizard."

As soon as these words left the lips of Alfred, there was the sound of someone collapsing. Petunia saw her husband collapsing on the floor. She was scared of how Vernon will react to this, will she be thrown out of the home with two infants. How will she manage all the things? Where will she stay? Will Vernon divorce her because her son was just like her sister and nephew. Is fate playing with her? When she was a child, she wanted to go to the same school as Lily.

There were a thousand questions and doubts were running in her mind. Petunia's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Dudley. She needs and answers. She looked towards Dumbledore for answers.

"Mrs. Dursley, there is no need to worry about your son. I will try to explain it to you and your husband. "said Dumbledore .

"If you can let Alfred check Dudley for his health as we do for Harry it will be good". Petunia affirmatively nodded her head.

Alfred moved towards the newly discovered young wizard. This young wizard was quite healthy. He had blond and peculiarity about his appearance was his eyes. They were in different colours or rather shades of blue. He knew what it was called in the muggle world. This was the case of heterochromia iridium. But he has never seen this in the magical world. He was just looking at the eyes of the child.

Dumbledore was curious why was Alfred looking at the Dudley. Dumbledore went to the look at the child by himself and after he checked he was shocked for the moment. He had seen those pairs of eyes in memories in past. He did not want to believe. This could not be possible. There were many ways to confirm his doubt.

"Dumbledore, have you seen eyes like wizards. It's common for muggles though, "asked Alfred.

"It's rare but not unheard or rather unseen. "replied in a lighter tone to avoid further questions.

"Yes, it's done. your son is healthy and magical core is strong." said to concern Petunia.

Alfred moved towards Harry started scanning and find a peculiar situation. There was something dark about the lightning bolt scar. He first thought of its residual of the killing curse, but the scare reeked of the dark magic and was behaving on its own like having its mind or soul. He used all his knowledge about dark curse detection but he was not able to find the cause darkness around the scar.

A good fifteen minutes has passed after the declaration of Dudley being a wizard. Vernon conscious now.

No one was paying attention to him. He was just going to start yelling and swearing on the old fools. The old coot who was the headmaster of the school somehow felt that he was awake.

" congratulations your son is one of us now. Ahh what was the word you use yes the FREAK, " said Dumbledore last word with venom his voice.

Vernon went purple again. He was going to give the right hook to the old coot but was stooped as Dumbledore came close to with grave tone his voice said

"Could you explain how your son has different eye colours? Please don't give the excuse of muggle genetic mutation. You would be surprised I am century-old and keeps contact with muggle science through some of the former students. And I have seen a similar pair of eyes. So I will ask a few questions and I need genuine answers for that. Rest assured I have my ways to know it but I would like to get those from you".

Hearing these word Vernon was taken back and in the heat of the moment yelled: "You can use legilimency on me".

Those words had different reactions of each the adult occupants of the room. Petunia was confused. As she did not have the faintest idea about what Vernon was speaking.

Alfred was shocked and his wand slipped from his hand and his mouth was open. He was thinking how did muggle know one of the obscure magic branches of magic.

Dumbledore was smiling. He knew who Dursley's were related to but, how was more important.

"Alfred do you have calming draught?" Dumbledore asked Alfred. Picking up his wand and taking the small pouch of from took out a bottle of the said draught and handed it over to Dumbledore .

Dumbledore conjured and glass and pour some of it and moved towards Vernon on.

" please drink this. You already answered one of my question about the knowledge of wizards apart from what your wife has told you. Your last statement has answered me that and few people know about it. You need to answer just three questions," said Dumbledore .

Vernon just dumbly nodded his head in agreement.

"How are you related to him? Are you a wizard? Who was his wife or mistress?" asked Dumbledore in loud and clear.

"Grandson, I am squib and I can not reveal it with the current company" was a short answer to all question looking towards Alfred. Petunia was shocked and was confused about how her husband about the magical world.

"Pet I will explain all things," Vernon said to his wife.

Alfred was little taken by the comment of Vernon towards him.

Dumbledore said, "There are lots of things which will discuss in future, but we have to get Harry's health report from Alfred".

"Dumbledore there is something wrong about the scar full of dark magic and is fighting all healing spells and it has its mind or soul" replied Alfred.

Dumbledore was pale after hearing the words and said: "Are sure it is fighting as it has its mind or soul." Aldred nodded his head once again.

"I will see what I can find about it, Mr and , we will take our leave I will send funds later today. My familiar will deliver it, " said Dumbledore . With that Dumbledore called his phoenix and left the house with Alfred. Later on, £700 was delivered to the Petunia and note to make sure to spend the money on properly and will need all the bills for all spending.

A month has passed since the Alfred has told Dumbledore about the scar and he knew what it was and it's relevance in future of the child and Wizarding World. He had searched all the things related to it even asked his mentor Nicolas Flamel.

He helped him by giving details about the creation of Horcrux and destruction but nothing about removing it from the living being apart from killing the container. He mentioned it there were only three families who well dwelled in the soul magic or this dark magic like Horcurx Blacks, Slytherins and Peverells. Dumbledore knew later two families knowledge is lost as there were no heir or lord and all books and tomes were either destroyed or hidden. His option was left was Blacks and he did not have any friendship with them. He got an idea there were whispers about Lord Black requesting to visit his grandson but was rejected by Ministry. Blacks were influential but current circumstances were not favourable for them. He can use it to his advantage. He fetched the parchment and requested an audience with Lord Black which would be mutually beneficial to them. Owl was sent quickly. Generally, Fawkes would have delivered but that would feel like showing Lord Black superior to him, on another occasion, it would have been entertaining but he was in dire need of information. He got an answer from Lord Black and would meet him in two days in his other property in Blackpool.

Raven's Nest Blackpool :

Arcturus Black was waiting for old muggle loving fool for this meeting. He knew Dumbledore was going to do him the favour to allow visit Azkaban. But what he wants in return is a mystery. There was a knock on the door. He opened the door, greeted Dumbledore and made the gesture to come.

"Dumbeldore please have sit. Let's get to business quickly. I don't have time" said Arcturus with a stern face and no-nonsense attitude.

"I will grant you the visit to Sirus as I can use my power of Chief Warlock. In return, I want information regarding Horcrux" said Dumbledore without any hesitation.

Arcturus was shocked to hear the word Horcrux. It was one of the evil things that even his family has ignored. To think that you even Dumbledore knew about it was shocked.

"You were apprentice of Flamel, ask them to provide elixir from stone. Creating Horcrux is evil. Taking the life of others to create that abomination is even consider taboo in Blacks" said Lord Black.

"I know how to create it. I need how to know how to remove the sole without destroying the container. In my case, its living being" Dumbledore replied with massaging temple of his head with fingers. He did not want to give away information about Harry.

Arcturus Black was intelligent and connected the dots. He remembered his friend Abraxas who boasted that Dark can never be killed he is immortal.

"The information you requested is in with the family and price is you are paying is to low. I want you to take Unbreakable Vow to never raise wand against Black Family or its descendent and never ever going to influence them or contact them without any official business," said Arcturus. He wanted to keep his heir safe when he will be attending Hogwarts.

Dumbledore knew he Black are blood supremacist. But they never killed other purebloods and instead use political power to take power away those who purebloods who were pro muggleborn or half-blood. He thought for the moment he knew his vow was for the safety of Black future.

"I will but there will be conditions. You are within rights to protect your family. I will not hesitate to those who joined the Voldemort from Blacks. Bellatrix, Lucius and Sirius are some of them. and Black Family and its descendent would not raise or harm Dumbledore family and its descendent. If anyone would do that from Black Family or any one related to them, this vow will be void. I would also like you to remain neutral with Voldemort and Unbreakable Vow too. If you agree we can go ahead. If not and you leak this information I would like to remember that Phineas Black then Lord Black had vowed never to raise wand against Potters as he was saved by Edward Potter from certain enemies of yours. Your grandson and Cousin's daughter had broken the vow. Though it won't have anything to magic, Vow breaker and not respecting the life debt would put Blacks with a par on blood-traitor Weasley," said Dumbledore .

Arcturus knew Dumbledore family would be extinct in a few years. He was surprised that Dumbledore knew about the debt. He was scared of the consequence for the Black Family. He knew Dumbledore had the upper hand in this but he would make sure this debt to remain secret.

"I agree but you will not share this information Potter or any wizard, this condition is non-negotiable like rest", said Arcturus.

An agreement was reached and after vows were taken. Lord Black informed Dumbledore that he will give the tomes and books for Horcrux when his permission will be granted for Azkaban visit.
