Felix Gremory, Azeure-Haired Prince of Creation [SLOW UPDATE]

Chapter 4: Harriet's Family

Coming Sunday afternoon, me and Harriett were chilling in the library reading some books on magic, I was reading up on magical theory and Harriet was reading a charms book.

"Ms Potter. The Headmaster has asked for the presence in his office, if you would follow me," Professor Flitwick said without room for questions.

I saw that Harriet looked at me nervously, but I simply nudged her and motioned with my head to get going. When they were out of sight I made a glyph with a rudimentary invisibility effect that made anyone inside the glyph invisible to almost all means, before I then quickly caught up with Professor Flitwick & Harriet. As Professor Flitwick guided Harriet through the annoying halls of Hogwarts, he kept looking behind him and staring right at me; he was probably able to see me due to his magical creature that I was able to sense but not distinguish.

Soon enough we arrived at a gargoyle statute with animation magic attached to it, that would be activated when someone said the right word. With the word black liquorice from Professor Flitwick, the gargoyle jumped to the side revealing a swirling staircase. Following the professor and Harriet up the stairs, I momentarily stopped to look at the stone gargoyle and almost felt as if it was going to come alive to kill me any second but I dismissed this stray fought and quickly followed after the two I was following.

The headmaster's office almost reminded me of my own room/workshop/lab but it wasn't nearly as advanced as mine with small trinkets that puffed smoke and were designed to monitor multiple parts of Harriet's life, then the books in the room were barely even a 1/10th of my personal library and 1/100th of the Gremory family library where I had spent most of my time.

Sitting behind a large elegant desk was the nutty headmaster that should probably be in old folks home with how senile he seemed from when I saw him in the great hall. Seated in several chairs to the right of Dumbledore's desk was a group that looked very similar to Harriet which most likely made them her family that abanded her due to the senile old man.

"Filius I see you have brought young Harriet, thank you. You may return to your work," Dumbledore said in a grandfatherly tone that seemed faked somehow.

Professor Flitwick stood there for a moment staring at Dumbledore than the Potter family before he nodded his head and turned around to talk around. As my head of house passed me I felt something like what the potions professor tried to do but instead, I was only left with a simple message in my mind.

'Look after her young Felix.'

I nodded my head in confirmation knowing that he could see me. Once the professor left Dumbledore motioned to Harriet for her to sit in one of the two spare chairs to the left of his desk; as I was about to follow a few feet behind her I stopped when I heard the headmaster speak again.

"I know your there, show yourself," Dumbeldore said aloud with a slight tone of hostility causing Harriet & the Potter family to look confused.

'So he isn't as senile as I first thought,' I thought to myself as I dropped my rudimentary invisibility glyph causing Harriet to gasp in shock, the Potter family to look shocked and the old man to be intrigued.

"Felix my boy that is some magic that you were just using but I think the more important question is why you are here?" Dumbledore asked with his grandfatherly tone back.

"You will address me as Gremory like you should be doing Headmaster, as the only person that at the moment can call me Felix is Harriet here and I am not your boy," I coldly replied.  Once I let what I said to them settle in I answered Dumbledore's question. "The reason I am here is that Harriet is currently in servitude of my family and as such, as such, I am here to make sure nothing unpleasant happens to her while she is in my family's service," I told them which shocked them, "once again I am perplexed at how people can be so shocked at the smallest piece of information, what about you Harriet?"

Harriet was unprepared for the sudden attention she got and ended up looking down at her feet while fidgeting her fingers.

'Still not there yet.' "Now what is this whole meeting about? Harriet and I were in the middle of studying potions to try and one-up the professor who seems to have it out for Harriet for some unknown reason," I told them.

The eldest woman looked distrust at the information, the man looked a mix between smugness & anger, Harriet's twin looked sympathetic, the youngest child of the Potter family looked confused at what she heard, and Dumbledore had his ever-present grandfatherly expression on which pissed me off to no end but I didn't show it.

"The reason that Harriet-"

"Ms Potter if you would Headmaster, I don't think she has given you permission to call her by her first name," I cut the headmaster off.

For I split second I saw the Dumbledore's grandfatherly mask drop to an angered expression but he made sure he once again was showing his grandfatherly side before anyone (besides my self) noticed his slip up.

"The reason that Ms Potter is here because her family would like to speak about her future in the magical world," Dumbledore said.

"If that's what we are going to be talking about then we have nothing to discuss as I have said before, Harriet is currently serving my family or more precisely me until she wishes to leave my service," I told them once again shocking them.

"Now see here! She is a member of the Potter family and as her father and current head of the Potter family, I have the right to destroy this service she has with you!" the man with black hair and brown eyes shouted at me standing from his seat.

"Silence you ape," I said coldly using magic to push him back into his chair with a simple hand gesture. "In most cases, you would be right to stop her service with me using your family's magic but this is not the case as you see she has not only pledged her servitude to me she has also pledged her mind, soul, magic and body to me; thus making you efforts to stop her serving me null," I told shocking them once more. 'It's almost as if this world's magical beings don't know much about magic... now that I think about it they really don't much about magic,' I thought disappointedly.

"She didn't?" the man asked flabbergasted.

"Harriet if you would please," I said using the ever so present control I had over Harriet to know what I meant.

Harriet stood up from her seat and turned her back to her family and Dumbledore before she then moved her clothes around so that her barback was able to be seen and when it was, everyone in the room could see a dark blue tattoo in the centre of her back. The symbol itself was a pair of bat wings coming from a flame, it was my own symbol I had come up with to distinguish my self from my family.

"That there is the mark of my family, she is servitude to me to either the day she dies, when she does not wish to serve me any longer, and the least likely event being that I release her," I told them with a mental message to Harriet for her to sit back down.

"H-Harriet why wo-would you do this?" the woman choked out between sobs.

"He promised to take me away from the Dursleys, from you, this world, and most importantly he promised on his life to make sure I live how I want to too... I didn't want to pass the opportunity down," Harriet spoke quietly getting slightly louder with each sentence.

"Good now that is settled we shall take our leave," I told them getting up to leave.

"0919 020907 190919200518 180501121225 0715091407 2015 19010605 23092008 251521?" I heard behind me.

I stopped myself and turned around to see everyone looking at the youngest Potter is confusion.

"251521 08012205 1325 23151804 1913011212 151405," I answered back to the young girl who nodded her head ok, "03151305 190505 1305 0906 251521 23091908 2015 01121915 10150914 1325 060113091225, 07151504022505 061518 141523. Farewell simpletons."

With that, I left Dumbledore's office with Harriet following after me. In the back of my head, I knew that I had just ended up causing a whole lot of problems for myself, but then again I always did enjoy screwing around with people for my entertainment so this might be a fun time.

"So Harriet shall we show wizards why you never mess with a devil," I said as a smidge of my power was released no doubt which Dumbledore felt and trying to find out where it came from. 

"Of course my king," Harriet said just above a whisper.
