Hadrian's POV
When Amelia replied to Fleur, my chest was starting to hurt. It has been going
on for a while these days, and now I know the pain is thanks to the poison in
me.
"You have permission from my wife and me to use
veritaserum on our daughter, and as Arthur requested, we would like to stay and
listen." Hermione's father said.
Amelia nodded. She took the veritaserum from one of the
aurors and cast a body bind spell on all four of them when they tried to move.
She chose to question Ginevra first. She poured three
drops on her tongue, and when her eyes dilated, she asked, "What is your
name?"
"Ginevra Molly Potter nee Weasley."
"When were you born?"
"11 August, 1981."
"The veritaserum is working." Amelia looked at
us and said. "Why did you use love potions on Lord Potter-Black?"
"I am the only one who deserves Harry. My brothers
are not worth him."
"Did you block their bonds?"
"No."
"Then who blocked their bonds?"
"The headmaster and my mother."
"Why?"
"They do not deserve Harry. If they have Harry, my
mother, Ron, Hermione, and I won't be able to take money from him, and neither
can the headmaster. So, we blocked their bonds."
"Do you accept stealing from Lord
Potter-Black?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Harry has to face dangers all year. We needed the
money to be with him and train him to be on the light side."
"He would naturally be on the light side. Why train
him?"
"Harry would have been sorted into Slytherin if he
did not meet my brother. He would have also accepted Malfoy's hand. He would
become another Tom Marvolo Riddle after all the abuse."
"Abuse?"
"Yes. Headmaster Dumbledore knew about the abuse. He
put Harry with the Dursleys so that they would abuse him, and when Harry enters
the wizarding world, he will look up to him and obey him. But Harry was turning
dark. He was starting to hate muggles. We had to brainwash him that all muggles
are not bad many times."
"Why did you use poison then? You were getting money
from already?"
"I wanted all of it, and Harry used to ask how I got
the new accessories and dresses. I needed more to get another Pureblood wizard
to marry, and the money I had was not enough. The money I get from Dumbledore
is being used up for the ingredients of the love potion alone, I don't have
anything remaining for myself."
I was trying to hold myself back from letting my magic
snap at her. How could she do this to me, and for such a petty reason?
"What poison did you use on Lord Potter-Black?"
"I don't know."
She gave Ginevra the antidote. When she was back, she was
panicking. She knew she was screwed.
"Take custody of her. We shall take her and the
remaining to Azkaban for their crimes. Now, it is just a formality."
Amelia said.
The pain in my chest was getting unbearable. I was trying
to rub it without anyone noticing, but my twins had already taken notice of my
action.
"What happened, Hades?" My twins
asked.
Ron was laughing. "He only has three months to live
now. When the pain is too much to bear, he will start coughing out blood. Your
time is over, Potter."
"I will decide how long I will live. You don't get
to decide it for me." I snarled.
Then I fell on my knees and started coughing violently.
When I was done, I tasted blood in my mouth.
I know my time was less, but I wanted a little more time
with my twins. I wish I could live that long.
Slowly, the temperature of the hall dropped. From the
corner of the room, all of us could see a shady figure emerging.
"Did you call me master?" The figure asked.
I didn't know who it was. I could feel it was a male, but
I had no guarantee.
"I am a male, master. My name is Mortem, or as
others like to call..."
"Death." I finished.
Death, or Mortem, removed the hood covering his face. He
was handsome. He had aristocratic features.
"It is said that the Master of Death is
immortal. Will Hades die?" My twins asked.
"You mean the poison in master?" Mortem asked.
When my twins nodded, he laughed. "That puny poison cannot kill my master.
Who said it would kill him?" He asked.
All of us pointed at Ronald.
Mortem looked at him and smirked. "So, it was you
who gives my master the poison every day. Do you think it will kill him? No. It
can't kill a person who died and is returned back to the land of the living.
Master has to die to become the Master of Death. Master has already experienced
death twice. Do you think you have the skill to do it a third time? No, you
don't."
