I forgive you: Chapter 76
Harry's POV
Dad sent his patronus to call for Amelia.
When she arrived, she was shocked to see Albus and Molly
there. Her shock was reasonable.
"How are they here?" Amelia asked Dad and
Frank.
They explained about the crystal and how they survived.
"We should not let this knowledge be known to common
people and neither to the Unspeakables. We need a spell that could make us take
this technique to our graves. We should also not be able to use it. Mind arts
and veritaserum should also not be able to make us show or say about it."
Amelia said.
It was true. Such a technique would cause chaos. Another
person could try it.
"Mortem." I called.
"Yes, my master." He said as he appeared behind
me. Moiz and Severus were used to his entries by now and didn't even flinch
when he answered from behind us.
"Do you know how to do what Amelia asked?"
I asked him.
"Yes, but it could hurt a little." He said.
"No problem." I said.
"A little in your past life standards master."
He corrected.
"Then we might have to ask." I said as I turned
around to the others.
"What do you mean by a little in the previous life
standards?" Severus asked.
"Master had high pain tolerance thanks to the
Dursleys. He wouldn't bother to drink the Skelegrow potion if his bones were
broken. He would not even show that it hurts, and I think everyone has
experience with pain during bone mending." Mortem said.
"How did I not notice?" Severus asked. No
matter what we told him, he still asks that question.
"The potions in your system made you take it as an
excuse. Blame it on Dumbledore." I said.
"What are you talking about? What previous
life?" Dumbledore asked.
Amelia silenced him. "But his question is right.
What previous life?" She asked.
"I came back in time." I said, as a matter of
fact.
She stared at me for a while and then sighed. "That
is the reason you are the Master of Death." She said as she looked at
Mortem.
I nodded. "I became the master of Death before I was
hit with the killing curse in my previous life. There, I met Mortem, and he
explained a lot that made me want to get back in time and change them. The only
thing I could not or better should not change was the deaths of James and Lily
Potters." I said. I held Moiz's hand when I said the last part.
Amelia nodded. "I am okay with the pain if it means
that no one could get the information from me." She said.
Moiz and Severus also agreed. So did Dad and Papa.
Lucius and Narcissa agreed a few moments later, along
with Frank, Alice, Arthur, and the Prewett twins.
Mortem nodded and snapped his fingers.
I felt like I was being hit in the head by a number of
bludgers. All of the others fell on the ground, clutching their heads.
I was in pain, but it was not enough for me to fall onto
the ground, so I looked at Mortem for an explanation.
"I made sure to give you the amount of pain
tolerance according to the body you take, my master. The older you make
yourself, the higher pain tolerance you have. That is the reason you felt the
pain when you were like a baby." He said.
"What about Nev?" I asked.
"Same, my master." He said.
I nodded. He disappeared.
After a while, they slowly got up and dusted their robes.
Moiz and Severus looked at me and hugged me.
"Have I been a reason for your tolerance?"
Severus asked. Moiz looked at me silently, asking the same question.
"Only during sixth year." I said to Severus. I
turned to Moiz and said, "In the first year, during the last moments of
Quirrell, fourth year during your resurrection, and when you cast the Cruciatus
curse. Whenever I had a vision or you sent me one."
"We're sorry." They said as they hugged me tightly.
"It didn't happen now. Do not apologize." I
said as I reciprocated the hug.
Amelia took Dumbledore and Molly and apparated to Azkaban
and put them in the highly guarded cells there.
We called Aberforth and told him what had happened.
Mortem had cast the spell again, and after a while, Aberforth recovered from
the pain.
Severus, Moiz, Alice, and Dad fired Minerva and Poppy
with the power they had as the lords and lady (acting lord in dad's case) of
the founding houses of Hogwarts.
Then we apparated back to Slytherin Manor.
"Harry, pup, what do you rate the pain you had
during the spell Mortem cast. Rate it from 1 to 10." Dad asked as he held
me.
"6." I said. All of the others looked at me in
shock. "Really, it was just 6. When I was 10, I was already used to
third-degree burns, skull fractures, and other bone fractures together." I
said.
Dad and Papa snatched me from Moiz and Severus and hugged
me.
"I should have had enough sense to get to see my cub
in the house the coot put you in." Papa said. His voice was breaking.
