Dark-Lord-Voldemort? (III) [Chapter 210]
🕑 Added 2023-07-29 20:09:56 +0000 UTC“It looks like Madam Umbridge really wants to say something” Harry announced with a minor frown on his face as he noticed that the pink froggy was desperately trying to say something for quite some time, but thanks to Katerina’s careful ministrations, she was unable to open her mouth and say anything.
Katerina got the hint, which led her to stop making holes through Umbridge’s hands and take a break… Katerina was basically an artist when it came to torture and from her dedication it was clear as a day that she loved her art. “Do you guys want anything to drink?” Katerina asked as she was planning to raid Umbridge’s kitchen.
“Um… I am good” Rita squeaked fearfully, looking slightly green. Right now, she was barely holding herself back from emptying her stomach.
“I would love some butter beer and Madam Umbridge might want some water” Harry said thoughtfully only to receive a nod from Katerina.
“I can’t believe that a bigot like her doesn’t have a house-elf” Katerina groaned in a disbelieving tone.
“Yeah… I wonder about that too… I was expecting her to have at least a few house elves” Harry wondered thoughtfully and instead of speculating anything, Katerina simply shrugged her shoulders and left the room.
“So, Madam Umbridge, why don’t you keep house elves?” Harry asked as he kneeled down beside the sobbing woman. Harry had seen the haughty and arrogant woman blustering around in the Ministry, but the woman was nowhere to be seen. Right now, Dolores Umbridge was nothing but a broken husk of her former self.
“Water…” Umbridge stuttered out with a lot of difficulties. Her throat felt raw from all the screaming and Harry was certain that she must have torn a couple of veins in her throat.
Instead of giving her an answer, Harry simply Conjured a glass and decided to wait for Katerina to return with water. After some time, Katerina returned with a jug of water and two bottles of firewhiskey. Harry took the jug of water from her and poured some water into the glass for Umbridge.
“Here you go” Harry said as he held the glass in front of Umbridge and she immediately started to try her best to drink water from the glass. Both of her hands were riddled with holes courtesy of Katerina, so obviously she couldn’t use her own hands for anything in the foreseeable future.
When Umbrdige finally managed to drink about half of the water in the glass, she started to cough, so Harry decided to take the glass away from her. It took almost a minute to finally become somewhat stable again, but when she did, Harry decided to start speaking as he levitated a butterbeer bottle from the table.
“What did you want to talk about?” Harry asked curiously before taking a sip from the bottle.
“Spare me… Spare me…” Dolores wheezed out in a pleading tone, but Harry shook his head.
“Unfortunately, I cannot do that… You are going to die tonight. You should have considered the consequences before acting against me” Harry declared, making Umbridge despair. Watching the haughty and arrogant woman in her current condition was making him feel really satisfied.
“Though, I can give you an easy death if you tell me where you keep all of your blackmail material. Now, remember, I can take the information from your mind, but that isn’t going to bode well for you, so think carefully before giving me an answer” Harry explained in a cold tone and Umbridge started to sob more heavily.
After crying for a couple of minutes, she finally started to calm down and looked at Harry with a pleading look in her eyes. Harry started to wonder how her colleagues would feel if they saw her right now… “I have a safe in my bedroom. 9 left-7 right-1 left” Umbridge wheezed out.
“Thank you, Madam Umbridge” Harry thanked the woman with a genuine smile on his face. “You two wait here” Harry said as he turned to look at Katerina and Rita. Katerina was leaning back on the couch while enjoying her butterbeer while Rita was tightly clutching her bag.
It only took a few seconds for Harry to find the safe Umbridge was talking about and the code she gave him worked like it was supposed to. Inside the safe, he found a thick register filled with blackmail material and he had to admit, the woman was quite diligent. She didn’t even spare the Minister.
With the register in his hand, Harry returned to the living room and Umbridge breathed out in relief when she saw the register in his hand. “Kill me. You promised” Umbridge practically begged and Harry gave her a nod before he raised his hand.
“Avada Kedavra” Harry intoned blandly and a green beam came out of his hand and struck Umbridge, killing her in an instant and watching someone die right in front of her, Rita wasn’t able to hold her dinner and started to puke. Harry decided to let her be as he had other things to worry about.
“Norton!” Harry called out and his loyal house elf arrived with a soft pop. “Take this back to my room and keep it in a safe place” Harry ordered and Norton carefully took the register in his hand, and after giving Harry a respectful bow, he disappeared in a soft pop.
“So, what now, boss?” Katerina asked as she finally finished her butter beer.
“Now, we go and pay the Minister a visit” Harry declared and Rita started to puke again when she realized that she was going to witness another torture session and murder. “Well, as soon as she can regain her bearings” Harry muttered as he glanced at Rita, looking slightly worried about her.
“At this rate, she might end up puking her guts” Katerina cackled and Harry seemed to agree with her on that.
“We may have to call healers if that happens,” Harry pointed out before finishing his own butterbeer. “So, did you have fun?” Harry asked.
“I would have loved to have some more fun with her, but yeah, I did enjoy myself. It was a lot of fun” Katerina declared with a grin on her face.
“Can I have some water?” Rita asked after she cleaned her mouth with a flick of her Wand.
“Of course” Harry said before Conjuring another glass for her. After that, he poured some water from the jug and handed it over to Rita, only to receive a grateful look from her. She quickly chugged down the whole glass and released a deep breath. “Thanks for that” Rita said with a grateful look on her face.
“Are you alright to continue?” Harry asked her softly.
“Yes, yes… I am good to go” Rita declared after taking a deep breath. “Shall we resume the interview?” Rita asked as she really wanted to distract herself and even though the interview was going to be really dark, it was the only means of distraction she was aware of.
“Alright, but before that we should leave this place” Harry agreed with her suggestion, but he didn’t want to come across an Auror patrol or his whole phony interview plan would become useless. Well, he could always kill the Aurors to keep the secret, but he wanted to avoid any unnecessary deaths. “Kate, can you get her head?” Harry asked, only to receive a nod from the former Acolyte of Grindelwald.
After that, without wasting any time, Katerina removed the head from the corpse and picked it up by the hair. Moments later, another green portal opened beside Harry and the group of trio entered the portal only to find themselves standing outside the two-storey mansion, but it wasn't anywhere as big as the Malfoy Manor or some of the other mansions they have seen.
“Let us continue here” Harry suggested and Rita nodded her head in agreement.
“You already told me why Dolores Umbridge had to die, but what about the Minister? He also denied your return” Rita asked as her quick notes quill started to take notes again.
“He is also going to die for his transgression” Harry declared in a cold tone.
“...I see…” Rita mumbled after a few seconds of silence. “What about Harry Potter? Do you consider him a threat to you?” Rita asked and Harry simply inclined his head with an amused look on his face.
“He is a mere boy. What is there to fear? If it wasn’t for his mother then the boy would be already dead” Harry stated and after her quick notes quill finally stopped scribbling, she decided to move on to the next question.
“Then what do you have to say about the matter of him kidnapping Severus Snape? Albus Dumbledore openly claimed Severus Snape to be his spy during his trial and protected him. What do you have to say about that?” Rita asked.
“Watch your tone, woman!” Harry snapped at her, but there was no real threat or heat in his voice. “As for your questions. If anyone thinks Severus Snape worked for Dumbledore as a spy then they are fools. Do you know anyone who was saved during the last War thanks to the information he provided?” Harry asked.
“But thanks to him, I was able to remove a lot of thorns in my way. The Prewett twins were starting to become problematic for me, and it was Severus who sold them out. He also sold out Edgar Bones and his wife to my forces and finally, he was the reason why I went after the Potters and Longbottoms in the first place” Harry explained with a cackle.
“Now, I leave it to you to decide who he really worked for” Harry finished with an amused grin on his face… With this phony interview, he was going to end any goodwill Severus had managed to earn within the order…
