Love of a Wicked Heart
Chapter 10
1995, Knocturn Alley, England
Thea had gotten some galleons from the Potter Family Vault and gone to a small shop in Knockturn Alley called MadameGoisfrid's Quality Robes and Cloaks. She carefully entered the shop and waited for a moment before an elderly woman walked out, using a cane to assist her walking. The old woman looked at Thea for a moment before she pulled a wand out from her sleeve and wave it, causing the door to lock and the blinds to shut. She looked at Thea and said, "I am Madame Goisfrid and welcome to my shop. I know why you are here Miss Potter. Please follow me to the back so I can take your measurements."
Thea looked shocked but followed Madame Goisfrid through the shop. She was led to the back where a bunch of mirrors surrounded a stand which sat in the middle of the room. She was directed to stand on the platform. Following Madame Goisfrid's directions, Thea waited as the woman began to take her measurements. Soon Madame Goisfrid looked at Thea and said, "I can see that you have enchantments to hide what you truly look like. For me to make sure you get the best service, you need to remove them."
When Thea did so, she was pleasantly surprised when the woman did not react to her green skin and yellow eyes. She soon heard Madame Goisfrid say, "So the Wicked Witch of the West has come to England. I am truly honored to have you in my shop, my dear. Do you mind if I tell you some information that the Ministry wishes to hide?"
At seeing Thea's shocked reaction to knowing her true identity, Madame Goisfrid said, "Years ago, I used to make battle robes for Gellert Grindelwald and his army. He was the best Dark Lord to ever reign in Europe. His goal in life was to protect all of those who had magic within their blood, no matter what their blood status was. During his reign, many tens of thousands joined his army as he wanted what was best for all the Magical World. Do you know how many witches and wizards died during his reign?"
At seeing Thea's head shake in negative, the old shop keeper said, "Between Pure-bloods, Half-bloods, and Muggle-borns, close to two thousand were killed and that was primarily due to the Second World War between the Muggles. And about five Pure-blood family lines were completely wiped out."
At hearing this, Thea looked shocked and the shop keeper continued, "Gellert didn't like to fight other magicals as it was a waste of precious magical blood. Now, when You-Know-Who rose to power, thousands of Pure-Bloods joined him as he preached about keeping them in power and making sure those of lesser blood properly kept out of power. He also said he would help make sure that in the end, none of Pure-blood lineage would be harmed. How many do you think have been killed during You-Know-Who's reign?"
Thea thought about it for a moment and said, "I am not sure, but I am guessing the numbers are easily in the thousands if not much higher."
Madame Goisfrid nodded and said, "Before his reign of terror, there were around two million citizens in England's Magical communities, this included Pure-bloods, Half-bloods, and Muggle-borns. There were also over five hundred Pure-blood family lines. After 1981, the population dropped under five hundred thousand citizens and under one hundred Pure-blood families left."
At this, Thea felt as if she was going to throw up, only to hear Madame Goisfrid say, "Are you alright dear? You are looking a bit green."
Thea glared at the woman but a smile tugged at her lips as she let herself chuckle at the joke the old woman made. She soon asked, "Why did You-Know-Who get away with this much slaughter if he was going against what he promised?"
Madame Goisfrid shook her head and said, "I don't know but if I had to make a guess, his followers became too afraid to speak against him for fear of being killed as well."
Thea nodded and watched as the old woman left the room before returning with a trunk floating behind her. She opened the trunk and said, "When I was younger, I met a sorceress who claimed to be able to predict the future. She told me that Wicked West would visit one day and that she would ask for my help. I was told that she to visit me would be in need of my craft and that she would stop a plague that would destroy the Magical World. At first, I believed her and made fifteen sets of black battle robes made from basilisk hide, letting my magic help me craft everything. I was beginning to lose hope and thought that I was tricked but today I learned that the sorceress was telling the truth. All I ask in return is five hundred Galleons and a chance to serve as a seamstress for your armies."
Thea nodded and handed over five hundred galleons and soon heard the woman say, "I have a guest room above my shop that you may use until you are ready to leave from here."
Again, Thea nodded and followed the old woman to the guest room and placed her things in the room. She soon waited until the woman left before changing into one of the battle robes. She put on black leather pants with black basilisk leather lace-up boots. She put on a black silk shirt with a long black trench style coat. She placed the basilisk leather over the pants and coat. She grabbed her black pointed hat and put it on before disappearing in a cloud of green smoke to go visit the Dursleys.
1995, Little Whinging, Surrey, England
It was late in the evening when a cloud of green appeared on Privet Drive in Little Whinging, Surrey. Soon a woman was walking down the street and walked up to Number 4 Privet Drive. She looked around and noticed that the occupants were not at home. She unlocked the door with magic and entered the house before closing and locking the door behind her. Thea looked around the house and saw that nothing had changed since the last time she was there. She looked around and found the liquor cabinet which held expensive brandies, bourbons, and whiskeys. She grabbed a tumbler and poured herself two fingers of Roger Groult Calvados Brandy which were made using apples. She sat in her uncle's chair and sipped at the drink while she waited for her relatives to return home. Soon she heard a car pull into the driveway, only for moments later to hear the front door being unlocked. She quickly put up enchantments to hide her real form and waited for the people to enter the house. She watched as two very obese males enter the house followed by a horribly skinny horse-faced woman. She waved her hand and placed silencing wards on the house as well as causing the door to be closed by magic. She let out a dark chuckle and turned on the light next to the chair and let the three people get a good look at her. She stared at them with her cold green eyes and said, "Hello Dursleys, it's been some time since we last spoke. Please come and sit down so we can talk or I am afraid things will get quite unpleasant." The older man turned an ugly shade of red and began to shout, "How dare you break into my home. I shall have you arrested for breaking into my house and I will make sure the fullest extent of the law is served. I am an upstanding and hard-working member of the English community and I will not have some whore threaten and steal from me." Thea looked at the man with an unimpressed look on her face and said, "Are you quite finished? I wanted to have a civil conversation but it seems you don't want that." With that, Thea waved her hand and a green smoke appeared around the Dursleys which transported them to the couch and squeezed them onto it. The man turned and unhealthy shade of purple and screamed out, "You are one of those freaks. We gave you our niece and told you that we wanted no more contact with your freaky world. Now leave at once or I will go and grab my gun and shoot you for trespassing." Thea remained unfazed as she said, "I know that you gave up your niece. I am surprised that you think that I wouldn't come back and get vengeance for that uncle dearest." Vernon looked at Thea and paled immediately as he realized that the woman before him was his niece. He watched as she got up and went to his liquor cabinet and waved her hand and all the bottles of his Roger Groult Calvados Brandy disappeared in the green smoke. He tried to get up and stop her, only to realize that he was stuck to the couch. Thea turned to her relatives and gave a nasty smirk as she waved her hand and they heard a car explode. She walked over to the chair and sat down again watched at the Dursleys began to panic. Thea looked cruelly at her relatives and said, "Dearest family, I am truly ashamed to be related to you. That being said, you are of no use to me so I am removing you from the equation as you can reveal who I truly am." With that, the Dursleys screamed in fear as Thea dropped the enchantments and they saw her emerald green skin and demonic yellow eyes. She let out a horrid cackle that caused ice to form in the Dursleys veins as she saw the light of the London Fire Brigade was soon heard approaching Number 4 Privet Drive. They watched as she finished off the last of her drink and set the glass down, only for a horrid looking fire to appear in her hands and watch her throw it onto the wall near the cupboard under the stairs and against Vernon's liquor cabinet. Thea sat down and watched the Dursleys try and get up to escape while the charms were holding them in place on the couch. Soon the fire was consuming the house as the London Fire Brigade tried to put it out. People were gathering outside as they watched what was going on. An elderly woman looked at the scene in horror as part of the second floor collapsed in, causing a major flare-up of smoke and fire. Everyone was wondering what was going on when they saw as a shadowy form of a woman appeared in the flames and let out an unholy cackle into the night. They saw the smoke swirl around the figure and watched as she disappeared, causing confusion to consume everyone around that had witnessed the event. The elderly woman ran back to her home and went straight to her fireplace as she knew this had to be reported to Albus Dumbledore immediately. She could only hope that this person was not going to join You-Know-Who.
