Chapter 224: Lord Parkinson's Offer

When they left the office, both Lily and Harry were surprised to find Lord Parkinson still there by himself, waiting close to the entrance.

"Lord Parkinson...is there anything you need?" Lily asked, trying to hide her uneasiness. She did not want to admit that this man scared her a bit. She could never tell what he was thinking behind his cold eyes.

"I apologize for my rudeness, but I would like a few words with your son..." Lord Parkinson's eyes were completely fixated on Harry as he spoke.

It wasn't clear if this was because he only deemed Harry as a threat or because he refused to completely acknowledge someone with a muggle-born status.

'Now that the Minister is not present, it seems like he is showing his true personality...' Harry thought.

"You want to speak alone with my son? What could you possibly have to say that you cannot say in my presence?" Lily asked.

"It's okay, Lord Parkinson. My mother is aware of all matters pertaining to our family...and yours. My father would keep nothing from her," Harry informed the Lord.

For once, he saw a change in the man's face. He showed a hint of surprise.

"Is that so?..." Lord Parkinson said.

Lord Parkinson frowned. "Mister Potter, you are young and talented. You may think yourself invincible, but you don't know what you are dealing with here...this is the only time I will make this offer, then it will be too late. It would be a shame if someone with such a bright future..." He let the last words hang in a threatening tone.

Of course, to Harry, his words sounded ridiculous...and kinda ironic.

"You are threatening my son?" Lily clenched her fist.

Harry held her back and got closer to Lord Parkinson.

"Harry?" Lily wondered what her son wanted to do.

The man took a step back by instinct. He then realized what he was doing and stopped.

"You claim that I don't know what I am dealing with...but it is YOU who should heed those words. You are playing a very dangerous game that you have no way of winning..." Harry said the words in a cold tone.

"What are you talking about?" Parkinson wasn't sure if this boy had lost his senses after feeling threatened.

"All your political skills, your money, your connections, your blackmail material...it will all be worthless when He returns...and He will kill you in the most painful way available to him for your offense."

"You are talking nonsense!" Parkinson raised his voice. When Harry mentioned a 'He'...a face and name came immediately to his mind. But that was impossible...he was certainly dead. What could this child possibly know that none of his contacts could find out?

"Your wife and daughter appear to be decent people. At least compared to you and the rest of your associates...so, for them, I will give you one chance...take your family and leave the country. Go as far as you can and hide in some hole for the next few years at least. That is your only path to survive right now."

Lord Parkinson stared at Harry in disbelief for almost ten seconds. "It appears that I have wasted my time with you..." The Lord huffed in annoyance. He could not possibly take the words of a child seriously, no matter how much talent he had for magic.

As far as Lord Parkinson was concerned, Harry was one of those geniuses who got arrogant when they gained some fame and started to talk about things they didn't understand.

'But no matter what, the Potters will certainly become a problem in my future, and something I will need to address one way or another...'
