Chapter Six – A Disturbing Discovery

Lucius was sitting at his desk in his office when a knock on the door pulled him from his abyss. As he opened his door his shock was hard to keep hidden. "Boys what are you doing here with Potter bound up?" Looking smug, Draco stepped forward and started to explain. "Well father, we stopped potter and weaslebee in the dungeons after dinner and decided it was time to answer some questions." Looking almost as smug, Felix spoke up next. "Upon questioning him he started to stutter, and I do believe that he is hiding something dad so can we please question him seeing as I know he isn't who he says he is." At this point the bound-up boys were starting to protest. Being interrogated by a death eater was something they were really looking forward too. "Felix sit them in front of my desk, Draco go get your Godfather. I could do with his help for this." The two Gryffindor's gulped knowing that they were about to let Dumbledore down.

"So, boys. Who are you really Mr. Potter? Weasley any idea." Lucius started. Lucius was a very good interrogator having been doing it for the dark lord for years. "Dumbledore won't let this happen Malfoy." The red-haired boy said bitterly at the man. Lucius laughed whilst ignoring the weeping Potter sat next to him. "Merlin Felix, at least when you were Potter you didn't cry like a baby whenever you were interrogated…" Lucius laughed "and as for your comment about Dumbledore Mr. Weasley. If you do not remember I am on the board of governors and when they find out that the old coot has used a glamour on a student to hide the fact that the boy-who-lived is actually my son, he will be out of those doors quicker than you can say quidditch." Felix laughed at this remembering the time that Madame Hooch said that to the students when taking Neville to the hospital wing during their first flying lesson. Thinking about. Felix hadn't seen Neville around the school at all this year. Putting two and two together he realised just who the boy posing as Harry Potter was in fact Neville Longbottom. But how to remove that glamour.

"Mr. Potter, the boy-who-lived. When my good friend and colleague arrives, we will find out who you really are." Lucius turned to Felix who was now smiling and sitting on the sofa in the corner. They didn't have to wait long for Severus and Draco to return and the whimpering boy started to shake. "Good evening Professor Malfoy, I hear you need some assistance?" Snape said in his usual dull drone. "Yes Severus. I believe Potter here is wearing a glamour and being the best potions master in the world you could be able to remove it." Lucius replied with the sound of delight in his voice. "Well it's a good job that I always have a potion to remove that." And with that he started looking through his potions bag.

Finally finding the right potion he stood up and moved to stand in front of the Potter boy. "This isn't going to taste nice." And with that warning he force the Potter boys head back and emptied the vile of black liquid into the boy's mouth. Potter made a gurgling sound before swallowing. "Now it should only take two minutes to change him back to who it is. Any idea who it could be?" Snape asked. Felix stepped forward and started to explain his theory. "That Felix, is a very good assumption but unfortunately we will just have to wait. No Mr. Weasley I think we should help you forget this little meeting…" Snape pointed his wand at the boys head "…Obliviate." Ron looked up confused. "Why am I here sir?" Snape gave him a story and sent him back to his common room after taking thirty points from Gryffindor.

Once he had gone the attention was now on the boy sat feeling very sorry for himself. "Mr. Longbottom. What an earth were you doing interpreting Harry. Do you know what danger you were in."? Lucius said softer than before. Believe it or not Lucius does take the safety of the students in the school very seriously. Yes, he's a death eater but he's also a father and know that Tom would never want to hurt any of the students. "I-i-I'm sorr-y sir. I didn't have a choice. Dumbledore forced me to do it. I really didn't want to. I didn't really know what it entailed." Neville said nervously. "I really didn't want to Felix." Felix smiled. Neville was one of his real friends that never judged him. He felt awful for him. He knew how manipulative the old coot could be. "Well Neville" said Professor Snape "you have our word that we will do whatever we can to try and keep you safe from the old man. Now what I suggest you do is allow Professor Malfoy to cast and Obliviate on you to forget about this. He will then report all of this to the board of governors and the ministry. You won't have to worry about that man anymore."

Neville looked worried as Lucius stepped closer drawing his wand from its holster. "This won't hurt will it?" Lucius looked at the boy with a small amount of hurt in his eyes. "Mr. Longbottom, I may not be the nicest man in the wizarding world. However, I do not take pleasure in hurting children." After his explanation, the trembling boy nodded and closed his eyes waiting for the feeling of emptiness in his mind as the whole event was wiped from his memory. A bright white light left the man's wand as he cast the incantation then nothing. "Why am I here again s-sir?" Longbottom asked. After a bashing from Professor Snape and twenty points being taken from Gryffindor, Neville left the office and headed back to his dorm.

"You know Uncle Tom is going to want to hear about this?" Draco said as the boys started heading back to their dorms. Felix agreed. "Maybe we should go and let him know now?" Draco nodded, and they changed the direction and started heading to the girls bathroom on the first floor. "Can you hear that?" Felix asked as they approached. As they turned the corner they could see Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger looking at the wall. 'Her body will lie in the chamber forever'. "Who could that be about?" Draco over heard the red-haired boy say. At this point Felix decided it was time to step in. "So, it was the blood traitor all along. Who put you up to this Dumbledork?" Weasleys face went bright red. "Watch your mouth Malfoy!" Felix laughed at the thought of Ronald Weasley threatening him. Just before he could respond Professor McGonagall rounded the corner with Draco. "Mr Weasley, Miss Granger what is the meaning of this?" The pair started stuttering but before they could get the sentence out McGonagall spoke again. "This is out of my hands now you two follow me. I'm sure Professor Malfoy would love to hear about this. As for you two. Ten points each to slytherin for your honesty and helpfulness. Now off you go."

After the coast was the twins headed into the girl's bathroom and to the entrance to the chamber of secrets. Felix hissed the password and within minutes the two were in the centre of the chamber. "Hello boys. Nice to see you but what do I owe the visit?" Felix explained, and the man's face lit up. "Well that is impressive. So, your father is dealing with Dumbledore and you have made the rest of the staff suspicious of Weasley. Well done boys. Well everything is set for the final attack on a student. It will happen in the last month of school. Hopefully there won't be any more problems to get in our way." Tom smiled as he spoke. "And I know who the last person will be to attack. Ginny Weasley." Now it was the turn of Felix to smile. The plan was coming together.

So, there we go another chapter. Sorry about the length but I felt that it would drag a little if I added anymore so I left it there.

So, I am now taking ideas for a new dark Harry fic so if you have any ideas you would like to put forward let me know.
