Chapter 118: Second Year (IV) & Dear Old Lucy... [edited]

[POV Reo(Edgar)]

I silently waited in my room after I returned from the nice meeting I had with the ferret and the Ice Princess. I was waiting for the clock to hit midnight, I would be leaving after that, after all, I don't want anyone knocking on my door and not finding me here.

From anyone I mean Luna, she is the only one who comes and knocks on my door. Momo and Rumi always invite themselves in, and Nemuri was Nemuri... nothing new there. So, even if Luna knows that I would be killing someone due to Rumi's slip-up, I still don't want her to know, plausible deniability and all that. Momo and Rumi were already asleep on my enlarged bed. All three of us were in our 12-year-old forms... Tonight, I needed to be somewhere else because if we start we won't stop ourselves until we are utterly satisfied.

It is also a good thing that tomorrow is a Saturday so no classes. I wonder if someone would be able to connect the dots with me but honestly, I won't hold too much hope. I thought and a gentle smile appeared on my face, only after a few seconds, the reminder started to ring on my mobile. I turned off the alarm and picked up the vial of Aging potion that was resting in front of me on the table.

With a wave of my hand I was completely naked, with the clothes removed I gulped down the Aging potion and my body started to age. With the transformation done, I quickly used my powers to don my armor. I checked the locking and notice-me-not charm on the door. Seeing the charms still there and holding strong, I nodded at myself and used Flash Step to directly jump out of the wards. Without my armor, I had to jump two times to travel the distance but with my armor on... the distance I can cover with Flash Step increases severely.

I brought up the memory of Malfoy Manor using Occlumency, the next moment I Apparated right outside the wards of Malfoy Manor. I cast my usual Anti-Apparition & Anti-Portkey wards along with some other important wards. I can't be lax... I can't have them running away after I have worked so hard to hunt down Lucy.

With a huge vicious grin which was blocked because of my mask, I ripped right through the wards. Like Late Goyle Snr. these wards were also lethal but I walked right through them like nothing. I used my powers I found 4 life signs inside the house... two adults and two house-elves... I was quite surprised to see that Malfoys didn't have an ounce of metal on their massive manor doors, quite disappointing.

Even though I was disappointed, I didn't allow it to hold me down, maybe I will blow up the whole manor later. "Bombarda Maxima" the spell hit the door and with a huge explosion, the doors were completely blown inside. I walked inside and looked around the manor. I have to say this is a nice manor. Pity...

I located the two humans, they were hiding somewhere underground. I knew it was the basement, but I didn't know where the entrance of their basement was. I knew from the story that Lucy kept several dark trinkets in his basement, during the first wars he also kept muggles in there.

I tried to find the entrance for Malfoy's basement for two minutes then I decided to give up. Good, if he wants to hide he can hide... but I am gonna bring his precious mansion down before I continue looking for him, let's see... what attack should I use? Fiendfyre? Shinra Tensei? Well, with both Fiendfyre & Shinra Tensei, I could kill Lucy and Narcissa without even greeting them... that won't do...

Grudgingly I moved right on top of their life signs and iron sand started to come out of my armor. The iron sand started to forcefully dig into the floor while also ripping it up. After a few seconds, all the preparations were done and I ripped apart the floor and find out a luxurious room. Narcissa was calmly sipping tea before I invited myself in and Lucy was pacing around. Both of them were quite surprised to see me... and from their expressions, they didn't consider that I could find them.

"Hello... your manners are abysmal. How can you not invite your guest for tea, Lady Malfoy?? Lucy my boy, I am really disappointed in you" I said while shaking my head, hahaha... acting like Albus is awesome!! Fuck yeah!!

When I spoke Lady Malfoy was completely shocked and then she became horrified. Lucy was shocked, then he also became horrified and finally, he became enraged. He must have noticed that I was copying Albus Fumbledork.

Lucy immediately raised his cane towards me fired off an AK. The spell was stopped by my iron sand wall, I jumped inside the room and looked at Lucy, who fired another spell but it also met its previous fate.

"Lucy, my boy, I am so disappointed in you. I came to visit you for the Greater Good. I hope you understand my boy" I said in a deep voice, mimicking Dumbles but inside my mind, I was laughing my arse off... it was so hilarious.

Lucy's face turned purple in rage and he started to glare daggers at me. His head immediately shot towards his wife. "Don't gawk at him, you imbecile!! Attack him!" Lucy yelled at his wife, Narcissa immediately fumbled with her wand and fired off a stunning spell on me. I just swatted away the spell with my hand.

"Ah, such a loss. I tried to give you a second chance, you could have died painlessly but no... you have to act like this" I said still in my Dumbles act as I shook my head. I pointed my finger towards Lucy.

"Crucio" I said and Lucy immediately dropped to the floor and started to scream on top of his lungs. I turned towards Narcissa who yelped in fear. I don't remember her like this in the story... is she a pathetic scaredy-cat?

"Why did you support him?" I asked her giving up my act. Lucy was still under my Cruciatus Curse, I cast a silencing charm on Lucy.

Narcissa didn't speak and gave me a calculative look. After a few moments, she finally sighed "I never supported him or the Dark Lord. Yes, I hate the mudbloods and I would be always superior to them but I never thought of torturing or killing them. What more options did I have? My family sold me to Lucius Malfoy under a contract, so I could be a typical pureblood wife. I couldn't make or give my own opinion, so I just stayed away but never joined the service of Dark Lord" Narcissa said and stood proudly like any other pureblood witch. I could see she was clearly scared of me but A1 for acting.

"I am a Black, I would never bow in front of someone who would brand his followers like cattle" Narcissa said proudly and now her chin and nose were pointing upwards like any other spoiled pureblood princess. It was quite amusing.

I Wandlessly used Leglimency on her and found out that she at least believed what she was saying. Hmm, maybe I should let her go, she doesn't have a mark. I was using the Cruciatus Curse on dear old Lucy, having parallel thoughts has its own perks, like dual casting.

"Then run... go away from here after you take an oath that you won't go against me. By the time I leave there won't be anything left here. But know this... if I find you that you or your son took the Dark Mark in the future then I would be coming for you, I promise you that" I said and used my wand to write the oath in the air. Narcissa pointed her wand upwards and took the oath. With the oath done I dropped the Anti-Portkey ward and threw a Portkey to Narcissa.

"That would take you to St. Mongo's" I said to which she nodded and activated the Portkey and was whisked away. Hehe, now with the oath done I will later force her to join my alliance when needed. Even if Narcissa is a supremacist, she truly believes that killing and torturing muggle wouldn't do her any good.

I finally turned towards Lucy who was still writhing and screaming in pain. Oops... I forgot to lift up the curse because of the silencing charm. I wonder when Lucy would snap under the curse. I once again put up the Anti-Portkey ward and canceled the silencing charm on Lucy and lift up the Cruciatus Curse.

"How do you feel? Does it feel nice?" I asked looking at Lucy.

"Please Mer-Mercy" Lucy whimpered on the floor. Hehe... Lucy is quite funny... cracking a joke at a time like this.

"Sorry out of mercy. Legilimens!" once again Lucy started to scream as I ripped into his mind. I needed the location of the Diary. Only after a few moments, I got the location so I stopped using Legilimency... the Diary was kept in his basement code, I also got the code from his mind even though I didn't need it. Now, that he has outlived his use, I wanted to use him for another test. "Crucio!" I muttered as I resumed Lucy's torture...

After about 17 minutes Lucy's mind finally snapped. His eyes grew wide and started to drool, he no longer screamed when I kept him under the curse any longer. I shrugged as I made my way towards the safe, only after a couple of seconds, I had the diary in hand as I kept musing about my latest experiment.

"17 minutes. Nice... not bad" I said looking around and I pointed my palm towards the floor. "Fiendfyre!" I muttered and a Leviathan made up of flames leaped out of my palm... I gave another look towards the spreading Fiendfyre and tossed the Diary into the fire...
