Capítulo 117: Heritage Unveiled
A surge of fear went through Albus as he heard those words. He knew who was responsible for ninety-five percent of the things that had been so wrong in Harry Potter's life. His fear's of everyone finding out everything he had done to the boy were being realized as the statement from Gringotts proved this morning. His mind was whirling as he tried to figure a way to turn this conversation to his advantage.
Albus said "I can assure you that we were all very distraught at the loss of Mr. Potter. He had many friends here that truly miss him and would like nothing better than to make amends for some minor mistakes they made last year."
Harry chuckled "I fail to see how you can consider their actions minor mistakes. How can you trivialize their actions that were the cause behind a young man preferring losing his magic or his life to get relief from the life he had to lead? What about your mistakes old man? Would you beg for forgiveness for the atrocities you allowed to happen to him if he were to appear before you?"
"I always did what was best for the boy."
"And I'm sure he will return the gesture ten fold when you meet him and his family on the other side. I can assure all of you that he is waiting patiently for his chance at getting his pound of flesh."
McGonagall stood and pleaded "Please Milord, there are young children present. Don't subject them to whatever it is you have planned this evening."
"Ah, Professor Minerva McGonagall, you must have been feeling left out but I can assure you that Lady Lily is especially waiting for your appearance. It seems you made a promise to her many years ago to look after her infant son if something were to happen to her. Her contempt for the Headmaster is only surpassed by her contempt for you. She considers you an oath breaker and a child abuser and therefore deserves the very worst fate imaginable. I would also like to point out that your compassion and concern for your students seems to come somewhat late if you ask me. Well, let me rephrase that. You have always shown a lot of compassion for your students unless their name was Harry Potter."
Minerva dropped back into her chair in shock at those words. The cold chill that crept up her spine caused her to shudder at the meeting that awaited her with someone she had considered almost a daughter. Her eyes closed and she could picture those emerald eyes turning on her in hate.
Poppy stepped forward and pleaded "If you will not do it for her, will you do it for me? Will you allow the younger children to leave the Hall since they had nothing to do with the issue which you are here for?"
Harry bowed deeply to her and said "Harry always spoke very highly of you and asked that we grant any request you made. The first, second, and third years may leave."
"Thank you. Would you allow me another request?"
Harry nodded. She asked "Is Harry happy now?"
"Yes ma'am. Harry James Potter said that death was the absolute best thing that ever happened to him. He also wanted us to tell you that he thought it was time for you to leave the castle before your soul was corrupted by those around you."
She smirked "So he is still the cheeky little bugger that he always was?"
"Even worse, he has his heritage now."
Albus couldn't stand not being the center of attention and asked "And what heritage is that?"
"Oh that would be the heritage you denied him all these years Headmaster. It took his death to gain everything that you had tried to hide and steal from him."
Albus tried to raise his wand but before he could do anything, Dobby had him bound in magical ropes and suspended just above the floor as the wand flew straight into his hand. McGonagall and Flitwick moved to defend him but were met with a mocking voice. "Do you really want to throw away your lives that carelessly? Perhaps you could place him back on his throne so that he can lord over these proceedings as he tried to do over Mr. Potter's life."
Dobby waved his hand and Albus was floated to his throne and dropped into it with and 'oomph'. "I'd suggest you join him so that we can get on with the entertainment for the night."
As they walked down the hall to the head table, Poppy started to usher the younger years out but Harry asked her to stay. He nodded to Dobby who snapped his finger and the head elf appeared. "Please see to the children and make sure they are fed and tucked in."
"At once Milord. If there is anything else Milord requires, just name it."
"Thank you"
Minerva sputtered at the elves following the intruder's orders. "Just who do you think you are to come in here and take over like you own the place?"
Albus looked up at the cloaked figure as he started laughing and knew his fate was sealed. "It's funny you should ask that but perhaps we should save that little tidbit until later. Just know that I have more right to be here than anyone else in this castle."
He turned back to Amelia and said "I find it relevant to our discussion that Madam Bones brought up the law of the land tonight. I know that she holds great stock in the laws and does her utmost to see them followed. We have also witnessed Minister Fudge as well as many of these fine Lords and Ladies who also try to act within the law but there is one amongst you who sees the laws as his own personal playground. He uses the loopholes that he helped write into the laws for his own benefit."
Amelia stood "Would you please elaborate?"
"I had no intention of going into this tonight but circumstances dictate otherwise. I would first like to begin with a sad tale. You see, there was once a young couple of an elevated house that had a son. The couple was smart and did everything in their power to make sure that their son would be taken care of in case something happened to them. From what I understand, there was a war going on at the time. They made out a detailed will that made sure their son would be well cared for under the proper guardians that they had picked out and trusted above all others. There was another man who was hell bent on gaining control over their elevated house and saw to it that the parents of the father of the young boy met an untimely end. At the time of their death, the young couple was behind wards cast by this man that were charmed so that the young father would not be notified of his parents' deaths and therefore did not take up the title of his father's house. For simplicity's sake, the bad man who caused all this spent the entire summer searching and ransacking the family manor trying to find the family secrets while the young couple was hidden away. After a frustrating and unsuccessful summer, he torched the manor and blamed it on a rival group."
The whole hall was engrossed in his tale and were shocked when he walked over to Albus and asked "Does any of this seem familiar to you?"
