Harry Evans And The Horcrux

Chapter Fifty Two

Harry and Draco rejoined the adults, and they slipped into easy conversation. Harry inquired as to what was to happen with the other Weasley children, and Lucius spoke up, "Well, the ministry is organising a court date. Molly has been placed in a watching cell in the Azkaban prison, and was charged five years for child neglect on the spot, but obviously we have other things against her. She will be removed from her cell after Christmas for a full scale investigation. Each child will be interviewed, including the two oldest. And then, if Arthur is unable to take care of his children, we will see as to where we can place them for care. Koden naturally comes to us, and as Ginny has been placed in our emergency care, we would be first on the list for her home."

Harry nodded, "So, what possible charges would we be looking at?" Draco had slipped away and sat with the other two children, as the conversation was not for him.

"I'm unsure on which charges will fall on who, Dumbledore or Molly. So far we are looking at child neglect and possibly abuse if the evidence adds up, which Narcissa thinks it may because even if not physical abuse both children are clearly emotionally scarred." At this his wife nodded along before he continued, "Also kidnapping as Koden wasn't legally signed over, as well as the drugging of Arthur. Once an investigation has been launched I shall update you." It was clear he was talking to Harry, but everyone nodded.

"We may have to launch another investigation after this one. I still need to do some searching but alas, I don't believe I'm wrong." Harry's voice was hard, and slightly sultry. Or as sultry as it could be while he still had a reasonably high voice of a child.

"I have clearly done a number on your mind, haven't I?" Tom murmured, and Harry grinned.

"That you have! Although, I must say I appreciate it. Do you want to know what else this has enabled me to do?" At a nod from Tom, Harry blinked, closing his eyes for a little longer than usual.

When he opened his eyes, they were blazing red. The fire and anger was evident deep within, and he was met with four sharp intakes of breath, before blinking once again and having his bright green back. "Back to the task at hand, yes?"

Lucius nodded, "Of course," He stopped himself abruptly and it was clear to Harry and Tom of the 'My Lord' that almost slipped out, "What is this other investigation you wish to launch?"

"Ah, on the Longbottoms. I have reason to believe Neville may be the missing Zachariah LeStrange."

Lucius nodded, and made a note on a small bit of parchment Severus had handed him.

"It would explain as to why Bellatrix went after them. Helping her family." Narcissas voice was wistful, and she stared at her lap.

"Ah, is there anything we could do, so Karkoden could see her? It's clear he wants to." Harry stared over at him for a moment before turning back to the adults.

Lucius was about to speak when Narcissa spoke up, "No. I love my sister, but I have no idea what state she'll be in. No one but myself, Severus, Tom and possibly Lucius shall have any contact with her until I deem her healthy. We have a ward in our Manor, but she will have her own seperate room, charmed and protected. She was insane before Azkaban due to the loss of her son. If we give him back to her while she's still ill there's no saying what she'll do. She would go to lengths to keep him close to her, such as murder. She is a powerful witch."

Harry nodded, understanding in his eyes, "Yes, that makes sense. I could only imagine what she would do for him." They were all silent for a moment, before Harry spoke again, "How many Death Eater children went missing, exactly?"

Tom spoke up, "It never was clear. From my inner circle, three. Karkoden, Zachariah and a little girl named Thea. She was Pansy's big sister, four when she went missing. Sadly, we found her body about six months after fact."

Harry interrupted, "They killed her?"

"Possibly. She had been deceased for about five months, so it's possible they did. We never checked her cause of death, because her parents just wanted to bury her. We left them to it. Although there is also a chance she escaped and froze to death. It was snowing at the time, and she was simply wearing a dress when she was taken. However, in my lesser followers, on my outer circle, I must say hundreds of children were taken. Every child who was even suspected of being a death eater than went to Hogwarts was never seen again. Slytherin house was only a quarter of what the other three houses were for about ten years. Younger children often disappeared from their beds, with their bodies showing up later. Any child over the age of two was killed. It is also the reason I have such a little following left; most people ended up killing themselves after their children were taken."

Harry was shaking, "How are you so calm? These are innocent children, who have been murdered by a man pretending to do the right thing!"

Tom sighed, "It is difficult, but if I let the anger get the best of me, I would of died out as a dark lord in the fifties."

Harry nodded, "I'll calm myself. But I'm going to make them pay." His eyes were darker, and Tom stared into them, "I don't doubt you will, my child."

Harry excused himself, and Tom let him go with a comment to not kill the headmaster. Harry grinned and said he was going to get Belladonna.

The four adults continued their conversation, and Harry laced his room, screaming some. He didn't have great control of his emotions.

Tadaaa

It sort of ended weird but??? Yeah

The authors note:

I'm just here to say I'm not ignoring your comments, but because both my books are so popular my wattpad keeps crashing and I have to actually read the books in order to reply, and I can't do it through notifications, so I'm missing like all the comments from early chapters.

Also, this quarantine and pandemic in general is awful on my mental health. Please cut me some slack I'm struggling to stay alive here.
