40.35% Whatever It Takes... [HP X MCU (AU) Fanfic] / Chapter 92: The-Little-Beetle-That-Could (III)

Capítulo 92: The-Little-Beetle-That-Could (III)

*crack* *crack*

Harry snapped the middle finger and the index finger of her left hand in retaliation. Rita screamed at the top of her lungs and she rolled around her head as that was the only part of her body she could still move. Rita continued to scream as tears continued to roll down her eyes and while she was getting the pain out of her system, Harry simply decided to wait.

She finally started to calm down and she glared at the demon with watery eyes, but moments later, the hate and defiance disappeared from her eyes, instead, it was replaced by a look of defeat and submissiveness… "S-Sorry… I won't do that again…" Rita breathed out tiredly. Right now, she was looking extremely hideous with all of her makeup smeared thanks to her tears and snot, not that she cared.

"Good" Harry nodded his head in satisfaction. "So, do you remember the question?" Harry asked as he shifted his position.

"No! No! I remember" Rita blurted out hurriedly as she didn't want to know what he might do if she said no. "Yes, I have used my form to spy on the prominent figures of Magical Britain" Rita answered in defeat, but in reality, she was already planning how to destroy Harry Potter and the entire Potter line with him using her poison quill.

"Hmm… Now, an easy question. How did you find me? I mean, did you simply stumble upon me on luck, or did you come looking for me expecting me to find me, or did someone tell you about me?" Harry asked as he fiddled with the Wand in his hand.

"One of the employees told me in exchange for some extra galleons" Rita answered without missing a beat. She didn't have any problem throwing him under the bus as a part of her mind blamed him for her current predicament… If he never told her about Harry, then she wouldn't be trailing him to get some dirt on him in the first place.

Harry nodded his head in understanding. "Alright! Moving on. What sort of information have you collected on the prominent figures of Magical Britain?" Harry asked once again and once again, Rita hesitated a moment, but she started to speak without any urging from Harry's side.

"The type of information that would ruin their whole Families and see them into Azkaban. Illegal businesses, backroom dealings, smuggling, and whatnot" Rita answered with a painful look on her face.

"I see… So, where do you keep this information?" Harry asked and Rita once again started to freak out and babble something useless and unnecessary from Harry's perspective.

"They will kil…" Rita began to scream in protest, but Harry didn't even give her the time to finish before he snapped her left thumb. Rita screamed and accidentally bit her tongue, but that was it, so Harry decided to wait and let her scream at her heart's content. After a couple of minutes, she finally calmed down and he started to speak again.

"That wasn't something I wanted to hear" Harry warned her coldly as his eyes started to glow with power. Rita would have peed in her robes if her bladder wasn't already empty. She had never felt this terrified until now and she knew that she couldn't handle any more pain or she might break in real…

She never expected someone to use such barbaric means to get information out of her… She had dirt on all the Dark Families and they were the only ones who could have tortured her, but Harry Potter was different… She didn't have any of him, which she could use to threaten him. So, she simply decided to give up for the time being, but she mentally vowed to get back at him, one way or another…

"I… I have… …stored the information in twenty different locations all across the country" Rita answered while struggling with her breath. "I have some pre-addressed letters, which will be posted to their pre-mentioned recipients if I disappear for more than five days" Rita added after a small pause.

"Who are these letters addressed to?" Harry asked curiously.

"The chief editor of Daily Prophet, Barnabas Cuffe, the Director of the DMLE, Amelia Bones, and some of the senior Aurors, namely, Rufus Scrimgeour, Alastor Moody, Gawain Robards, and finally, the Chief Warlock, Albus Dumbledore…" With that Rita continued to mention the names she had addressed her letters to and Harry had to admit, Rita is an extremely smart, cunning, sly woman.

"Thanks for the information, Rita… I am glad that we finally came to an understanding" Harry smiled at her softly and Rita breathed out a sigh in relief… "Now, sleep" Harry said as he waved his hand and Rita fell asleep…

<Line Break>

Harry stepped out of the portal and rolled his shoulders tiredly… Rita has given him a lot to think about… The information she had collected was bound to be useful. She had collected dirt on almost everyone, even the Minister and his Undersecretary weren't spared. He almost felt like he should let her go, the keyword being 'almost'… There was no way he was going to let her leave even with the threat of her failsafe looming over Magical Britain…

Against anyone else, it might have worked, but unfortunately for Rita, the letters weren't supposed to be posted until five days after her disappearance, so Harry had five days to come up with a solution and five days were more than enough for him to come up with a solution.

While Harry would have loved to see the chaos that would ensue, he wanted to have all that information in his grasp, so that he could hold that information over the heads of the people he would be blackmailing in the future. If that information was released then they would lose their value and instead of being important, they would become public knowledge.

A stick would only work as long as everyone is afraid of it…

|Though I still think you should kill her… She might be acting submissive right now, but she won't hesitate to slip a knife between your ribs when the time is ripe| Lily growled angrily. |Hadrian, you are powerful, extremely so, but don't let your power go into your head… It will be your hubris| Lily warned desperately.

|Don't worry, mom. I already know that… That is why she is trapped in here| Harry said with a grin as he pulled out the Potion vial he had grabbed from his apartment, but the vial was no longer empty. Right now, a blue water beetle could be seen lying inside the Potion vial. |I may not know Legilimency, but she is a vindictive bitch. I know she will be waiting for a chance to stab me in the back| Harry admitted with a grin.

|Then why?| Lily asked dumbly… She couldn't help but wonder why her Hadrian was still keeping her alive if he already knew that…

|Why am I still keeping her alive?| Harry finished the question from her and after getting a mental equivalent of a nod from her, he chuckled softly before he finally started to speak. |Because she is going to be a lot more useful if kept alive, but under control| Harry explained softly.

|I already get that, so how are you planning to keep her under control, hm?| Lily asked in a condescending tone, but it was clear that she wasn't angry, but in fact, she was simply irritated at him for being so headstrong.

|I am thinking about my own version of Dark Mark… A much better one. The one created by Voldemort is already a piece of art, even though it has a lot of untapped potential| Harry smiled thoughtfully.

Voldemort could use the Mark to locate any of his followers and in return, he could also Apparate to their location. Not only that, but he could also use the Mark to send short messages to his followers and his followers could also send him short messages in return… Voldemort could use the mark to cause pain to his followers, but that wasn't all. He could use the Dark Mark to draw some Magic from his followers and that was probably the best feature of the Dark Mark.

While Harry didn't need to borrow Magic from his followers, he simply couldn't dismiss the idea as it might come in handy… He would better have the option and not use it rather than not having the option when he needed it… |I simply need to add a function that would make it impossible for the ones I brand with my Dark Mark to hide their thoughts from me| Harry explained and Lily seemed to hum thoughtfully even though she was quite impressed and excited with his idea.

|That could work…| Lily mused thoughtfully and Harry simply raised the potion vial to his eye level and glared at the blue water beetle lying inside.

|That will work!| Harry assured her. |The deadline for her failsafe is five days, which means, I have four days to modify the Dark Mark… I believe four days will be more than enough| Harry mused confidently.

|Oh… I have no doubt you will succeed, my son, especially now that you have made up your mind| Lily beamed at him proudly. Harry nodded his head before making his way toward his trunk. He popped his trunk open and placed the Potion vial inside the Potion ingredient cabinet to keep it safe for the time being… He wasn't going to carry the thing with him all the time, especially when he wasn't worried that she might escape.

He had used Mystic Arts to knock her out, so there was no way she was going to wake up on her own… The Stunning Charm was well and good, but it was lacking in certain regards as it was impossible to indefinitely knock out a Witch or a Wizard with the Stunning Charm as their internal Magic would slowly dispel the Spell in a matter of a few hours.

After closing the lid of his trunk, he finally decided to take a shower for real this time before doing anything else… He yawned tiredly as he made his way toward the bathroom and decided to take a nap after the shower… He was feeling somewhat tired after dealing with Rita Skeeter and a nap would probably do him a lot of good…

Harry entered the bathroom and only finished taking off his shirt when all of a sudden, he heard a soft pop from his side. At first, he thought that it was probably Doxy, but as soon as he got a glance at the unfamiliar house elf from the corner of his eyes, he knew that he had messed up… He cursed inside his mind as he started to raise his hand to attack the unfamiliar creature.

He didn't have his Wand out for the act, but this wasn't the time for an act… This was an emergency… He never expected someone to use a house elf to attack him and that is why he dropped his guard… To be honest, he thought that the Purebloods would probably find asking a house elf to kidnap or attack someone to be beneath them. After all, almost all the Purebloods in Britain believed house elves to be inferior creatures.

"The great Harry Po…" The elf began to exclaim cheerfully when all of a sudden, a red beam struck the creature straight on his face. The house elf slumped down on the ground like its strings have been cut.

|Are you just going to ignore the fact that he was just about to call you 'The Great Harry Potter'?| Lily asked Harry in a weird tone. |And for whatever reason, I don't believe, he was here to harm you| Lily pointed out, even though she herself wasn't convinced of her own words. It was kind of weird, but somehow she believed her words to be true.

|I guess…| Harry muttered in an unsure tone. He didn't miss the excited and joyful look on the elf's face when the elf was speaking… That wasn't all, he also noticed adoration and devotion in the creature's eyes. |Let's see what he has to say for himself| Harry said as he jerked his hand upward to lift the creature in the air and instead of putting his shirt back on again, he simply Conjured himself a shirt with a simple thought.

He returned back to his room and placed the house elf on the floor. After that, he pulled out his Wand and started to draw a Ritual circle… Binding a Witch or Wizard after disarming them was well and good, but that course of action was simply futile in the case of house elves as they could cast Magic without a focus… So, Harry needed to use some special means to stop a house elf from using their Magic and keep it contained…

Sealing the creature's Magic would have been the easiest, but he had no idea how that would affect the creature when house elves are Magical creatures… A Magical Creature would die if it ever lost its Magic and Harry had been looking for ways to contain house elves since he went to the States. After all, he was using Norton to gather information and spy on others, and since he could come up with that idea, the others could too.

With a flick of his hand, Harry cast a Locking Charm along with a Notice-Me-Not Charm on the door as he didn't want to be interrupted by anyone. He nodded his head in satisfaction and finally activated the Ritual circle to keep the house elf contained. Now that all of his preparations were complete, he pointed his finger at the creature and cast the Rennervate Spell.

The house elf woke up and blinked rapidly, revealing his tennis-ball-sized green eyes… The house elf was dressed in a body-sized pillowcase and from the stature of the creature, the house elf looked like he was being abused… Harry deduced that the house elf probably belonged to one of the Pureblood families of this country. The house elf finally noticed Harry and the look of adoration and devotion returned to his face before a look of horror flashed on his face.

"Oh no! Dobby was captured by the great Harry Potter sir. What bes Dobby be doing?! Dobby will iron his hands later!" Dobby exclaimed with a look of horror marring his face and Harry nodded his head in satisfaction… He called it! The house elf belonged to a Pureblood Family or he wouldn't have mentioned ironing his hands like it was a regular occurrence…

Capítulo 93: The-Hazard-Unseen (I)

"So, Dobby? What do you want from me?" Harry asked with raised brows after Dobby finally started to calm down. Dobby stopped panicking and a strangely afraid and concerned look appeared on his face.

"The great Harry Potter sir must leave this place at once! He is in grave danger!" Dobby exclaimed in panic while shaking his head.

"Danger? What kind of danger?" Harry asked curiously as he failed to hide the interest in his voice. He only needed to step back in Britain and his enemies were already on the move… He decided that Britain was the right call.

Dobby trembled and started to fidget uncomfortably while twisting his fingers in frustration. Dobby gave Harry a pleading look as he finally began to speak again. "Dobby can't say!" Dobby exclaimed in panic as he continued to fidget uncomfortably.

Harry quickly realized that whoever Dobby's Master was, he or she was one of his enemies and apparently, they were probably planning to kill him. "I see… If your Master is involved in the planning then why are you here? Warning me off?" Harry questioned as he narrowed his eyes at the house elf.

"Dobby is a fan of the great Harry Potter sir. He is the one who defeated the bad man. Dobby is very grateful for that!" Dobby exclaimed happily before a morose look flashed over his face. "Dobby has already said too much! Dobby is a bad elf! Dobby will bash his head against the wall to punish himself!" Dobby muttered sullenly.

|Fuck!! He is more nuts than Norton!| Harry exclaimed inside his mind.

|Oh… They must have been treating him really badly| Lily pointed out, feeling a hint of sympathy for the creature in her cold heart.

"You don't need to punish yourself. You never told me anything" Harry tried to dissuade the creature from punishing himself as he felt somewhat bad for the creature. "And thanks for the warning, Dobby" Harry thanked Dobby with a genuine smile on his face.

"Then the great Harry Potter will be leaving, right?" Dobby asked excitedly, completely forgetting about the fact that he had to punish himself for revealing his Master's plans to his enemy. This is exactly why you should never mistreat your house elves, but the Purebloods in Britain were never a paragon of intelligence.

"Unfortunately, no. I won't be leaving" Harry answered, but before Dobby could protest anymore, a red beam struck him on his face and he slumped down on the floor. Harry waved his hand and removed the Ritual circle, which was supposed to keep Dobby contained. From the short conversation, Harry realized that Dobby was oddly devoted to him, and having a house elf bound to him would be quite useful too…

Yes, Harry would need to find Dobby's Master and then force them to release Dobby, but it would be worth it… Dobby was already loyal to him and if Harry freed him from his abusive Master, then the house elf would become even more devoted to him than he already was. Though in the meantime, he needed to keep Dobby contained. A golden glow surrounded his hands and he cast the same Spell he had used on Rita Skeeter to keep her contained.

|Harry, are you sure about this?| Lily asked tiredly. She simply couldn't understand why her son was taking such unnecessary risks… It would be so much better if he simply killed them. |It could very well be an elaborate trap| Lily suggested only for Harry to freeze, who was wondering where to hide Dobby for the time being.

|It is possible…| Harry admitted with a nod of his head. |But I will be getting myself a devoted house elf if I am right… The rewards are too much to give up| Harry added after her a small pause and after hearing his words, Lily also sighed while nodding her head in understanding.

She simply couldn't keep asking him to kill everyone and everything… It was just foolish. She realized that she needed to come up with better ways to use them for the sake of her son… Lily took a deep breath and vowed to do better next time.

Meanwhile, Harry finally decided to hide Dobby in Jacklyn's house for the time being… He would also need to ask Morsi to keep an eye on Dobby, but it wasn't a big deal. Harry nodded his head and started to open a portal to Jacklyn's house… He hoped that nobody else was going to interrupt him again after he returned, or else he wouldn't be pleased…

<Line Break> (Half an hour later)

|Though I wonder who is planning to attack me| Harry mused as he walked out of the shower and started to get dressed.

|I would have said Lestranges, but all of them are rotting in prison. That still leaves the Malfoys, the Notts, the Travers…| Lily started to call out the Family names of the Death Eaters she remembered, but before she could finish the list, Harry cut her off.

|That's already too much, mom| Harry groaned, making Lily huff in exasperation.

|It's not my fault that more than half of the Pureblood Families were Voldemort fanatics| Lily scowled unhappily.

|I am not blam…| Harry stopped speaking when he felt Jacklyn approaching his door. Once again, he was interrupted by someone and he failed to take a nap. He sighed in defeat and started to make his way toward the door.

Harry opened the door with a flick of his finger before Jacklyn could knock on the door, but instead of entering the room, she simply peered inside from the door frame. "Brittany's parents are here!" Jacklyn was here to simply deliver the news. "Are you alright? You look tired" She added when she noticed the tired look on Harry's face.

"I am a bit tired, but weren't they supposed to arrive after 2 pm?" Harry asked curiously.

"Yeah, they were supposed to, but they are here now… I don't think Sirius can exactly ask them to leave now, can he?" Jacklyn asked with a shrug.

"Oh well" Harry shrugged and decided to go and meet Brittany's parents as otherwise, it would be rude. "By the way, someone is planning to attack me" Harry revealed, making Jacklyn frown. She looked around for a bit before she slipped inside the room and closed the door behind her back.

"Are you sure? This is an International event, if something happens here then it wouldn't look good on the British Ministry" Jacklyn asked while frowning.

"They probably don't care…" Harry griped dismissively. "After all, they won't get a chance like this to get rid of me for their beloved Master" Harry scowled.

"Don't take this the wrong way as I am not doubting you, but how do you know someone is planning to attack you?" Jacklyn asked as she plopped down on his bed.

"It's quite an interesting story…" With that Harry started to tell her about Dobby and she clenched her fists in anger when he told her about the abuse. "...If everything goes according to the plan, then I would be getting myself a devoted house elf" Harry revealed with a grin.

"That's good!" Jacklyn nodded her head in agreement. "So, what's the plan?" Jacklyn asked.

"They won't be attacking until the Game is over. Attacking before that doesn't make any sense as the whole place would be milling with foreign dignitaries and foreign Aurors, who wouldn't mind killing the attackers, and after the game, everyone would be drinking for whatever reason…" Harry explained while rubbing his chin.

"Yeah… If I was in their place then I would have done the same too" Jacklyn nodded her head as she understood what Harry was trying to say.

Harry snorted in amusement… "That would be the best course of action. Anyone with a lick of common sense would do that, but there is something I can't be sure about…" Harry shook his head. "I am not sure if they are going to attack me themselves or if they are going to hire mercenaries" Harry pondered.

Jacklyn didn't have an answer for that… She knew that she wasn't as sharp as Harry even before he awakened his powers, so there wasn't much she could help him with when it came to thinking. "What would you have done if you were in their place?" Jacklyn asked after thinking for a bit.

"I would have hired mercenaries to create some sort of distraction while I would have gone to kill my enemy while everyone else would be paying attention to the distraction" Harry answered without missing a beat and that is when something clicked inside his mind.

The Death Eaters were sadistic bastards… At least, that is what his mom had told him and he was inclined to believe her above anyone else. The Death Eaters loved causing pain and mayhem. Since the defeat of Dark Lord, a lot of people had also stopped fearing them and an International event like the Quidditch World Cup was probably the best opportunity if they were planning to return, which meant that the Death Eaters were probably going to act as a distraction while mercenaries would target me.

Harry couldn't say that it was the best plan, but he had to admit that it was a good plan…

"I think they are going to do the opposite… The Aurors in this country cannot use lethal attacks so the Death Eaters won't be putting themselves at risk…" Harry revealed thoughtfully.

"That's fucking stupid!!" Jacklyn whined in exasperation. "So, what do you want me to do?" Jacklyn asked with a determined look on her face.

"Nothing much, I simply want you to get the others to safety while I will slip away" Harry explained with a grin, but Jacklyn couldn't help but frown at his 'unfun' plan…
