2 Chapter 2 Grindelwald and Harry

...Hogwarts...

Dumbledore has returned from international wizengamot meeting. He is quite angry from what has transpired behind his back. He knows that one day Harry Potter will die but it is not in Azkaban. He has a prophecy to fulfill. If he dies in azkaban then all the planning of Dumbledore will fall apart.

Dumbledore is in deep thought on his office chair. He is making plans on how to save Harry.

'Lucius malfoy put me into a difficult position. I cannot save Harry directly. I have to wait till that basilisk petrify any other student. Then I will rub it in lucius's face. If Harry will ask for compensation it will be a disaster for the British magic government. Shall I stop the boy or support him from doing that. No matter what will happen a 12 year boy should never sent to Azkaban,' Dumbledore is in deep thought. He is feeling guilty for leaving Harry at such a crucial moment. He knows one thing if Harry survives he will not be the innocent boy ever again.

Professor minerva mcgonagall enters his office. She is not happy with the British wizengamot decision for sending Harry into Azkaban.

"Hello minerva," Dumbledore said to professor mcgonagall. They know each other for a very long time.

" Hello Albus, how are you planning to retrieve Harry from Azkaban. He is not that kind of a boy who harms other. If we didn't bring him back in few days it will be a disaster for his mental health," Professor mcgonagall said to headmaster Dumbledore. She is not happy with the sudden meddling of ministry. She become more irritated when minister of magic took James and Lily's son from Hogwarts to Azkaban.

"Till someone else get petrified we can do nothing. Lucius Malfoy planned it well enough so we can't counter it on time. We can only wait for the petrification of the other students. So it can prove that Harry is not behind the basilisk incident and someone else is controlling it," Dumbledore said to prof. mcgongagall. She is not happy after she heard it from his mouth. For proving Harry is innocent they have to endanger other student's life.

"I don't want to endanger other students life for Minister's mistakes. If we didn't had cure for petrification I would have never agreed on this matter. I still don't agree with your plan Albus but I don't have another choice," Prof mcgongagall said to headmaster dumbledore with a heavy heart. But she can only watch in this matter.

At the same time Snape enters the office. He has no emotion in his face. Dumbledore is happy to see Serverus Snape. But same can't be said for professor mcgongagall.

"Albus, we found two other victim of petrification. This time it is Penelope Clearwater and hermoine Granger. They are sent to medical ward ," Prof Snape said to headmaster. He is still not showing his emotion in his face.

"Minerva please inform ministry about this particular detail. By the time I visit the medical ward and then I will meet with minister of magic. You know it is almost about 2 weeks for Harry Potter in Azkaban," Dumbledore said to Prof mcgongagall. And he went to medical ward with Serverus Snape. In headmaster office only Minerva is alone.

'I will directly sent message to Cornelius fudge the so called minister of magic. I will definitely rub this message on his face. But I will also inform this message to someone else in daily prophet. What was her name again .... Rita seeker. She will do my job just fine,' Minerva is making her own plans. She will not forgive Cornelius fudge for last time when he barged in the Hogwarts and took Harry Potter.

Minerva informed Rita seeker before informing the matter to Cornelius fudge. Rita is happy to report this kind of incident in daily prophet. She smells conspiracy in this matter.

.....Azkaban....

The thunderstorm stopped in the Azkaban. The boy-who-got-reborn is still sleeping in his cell. Harry woke up and he remembered a certain detail about Azkaban.

'Gellert grindelwald is here in Azkaban. He is on the same level as Dumbledore in a power scale and experience. He is somewhere deep here in Azkaban. Before I leave the azkaban for greater good I should meet him,' Harry thought in his mind. He wandlessly created illusions in his room of himself sleeping. He became invisible and got out of the cell. He walked outside and saw the cell of other people.

While walking outside he saw dementors are torturing prisoners. But dementors didn't disturb him. He passed many floors. He also saw Sirius Black his godfather. He is constantly muttering something about betrayal of his friend. And how he took revenge on him.

Harry passed by him and then after few cells he saw Bellatrix . She is laughing madly and muttering voldermort's name under her breath.

After passing few floors Harry saw the man he is searching for in the whole Azkaban. He is kept in the most protected and highly dangerous floor of Azkaban.

Gellert grindelwald felt something is different in his surrounding. He cannot put a finger on it.

" Hello Mr. Grindelwald. By the way no one can hear us," Harry said to grindelwald. And he became visible to his eyes.

"Who are you? Definitely not a death eater I assume. Correct me if I am wrong," Grindelwald said to Harry. He cannot sense him. He only knew someone is nearby due to the atmosphere change around him.

Harry flicked his right hand and one empty glass appeared in his hand. Then he flicked his left hand and his unlimited water pouch came in his hand. He poured water in the glass and gave it to Mr Grindelwald.

"No I am not a death eater. Please have a drink of fresh water which is not from Azkaban. And it is not poisoned. I am drinking from the same pouch for many days," Harry said to gellert grindelwald. Gellert took the sip of glass. And he quickly finished it.

"Definitely this water is not from Azkaban. Quite fresh in my opinion. I never tasted a water like this. You never introduced yourself," Gellert said to Harry. He is quite old and he knows whoever this person is in front of him. He is a ticket of his freedom.

"You will never believe if I tell you. Even Dumbledore will not believe if I tell him that I met you. He still thinks I am a pawn in his game. The game is already changed the moment I land in the Azkaban. I will be free in few days. Now you should have got a clue," Harry said to gellert. He saw gellert's expression changed from curious to horrified. Even he knows that there is only one boy who is right now in Azkaban. And he is Harry Potter. And Dumbledore is counting on him for something.

" Harry Potter, I definitely heard about you. You are playing a dangerous game between Dumbledore and voldermort. I don't know what you want from me," Gellert said to Harry. Even he never thought a 12 year old orphan has such power.

"Voldermort is a puny dark lord. Don't you think Mr Grindelwald. He wants to dominate everything. Such a genius guy still a foolish decision cost his life. His whole death eaters army is built on lies. He claims he is a pureblood wizard but in reality he cannot face his own half blood status. What an irony, don't you think," Harry said to Gellert Grindelwald. In response Gellert laughed.

" Such an irony, voldermort claims he is a dark lord. In my opinion he is just a low level killer. He doesn't know the true meaning of domination. If he kill everyone who he is going to dominate. I already started to like you Mr Harry Potter. What is in your mind?" Gellert directly jumped to the point. He knows Harry is here for business.

"I want you to be my right hand man Mr. Grindelwald. I know what you are truly capable of especially with me. Do you want your old age to spend in this Azkaban. You built the Azkaban and now you became it's victim. Now you desire freedom but you cannot leave this place because you cannot rest in peace in any other place," Harry said to Mr. grindelwald. Even Harry knows if Gellert wanted to escape he would have escaped a long time ago. But now he doesn't like to be in the center of attention.

" You are correct, I desire freedom. I wanted to make wizard world a better place. But my plans back fired and many people died. Most of my people are either dead or isolated. My way was not full of roses and you know the rest. So what's next? I don't believe a smart person as yourself will believe others so easily. Even I would be more cautious while dealing with a former dark lord. Don't you think?" Gellert said to Harry. Both knows they cannot trust each other.

" Do you like to gain freedom? I can perfectly cover it for you. People will think Gellert is dead but you'll be roaming around the world. But there is a price. Never betray me and you have to work for me," Harry said to gellert. He is very serious about it.

" Are you sure about your plan? It's very tempting for sure. What if I say no, then what will you do Mr. Harry Potter?"Gellert said to Harry. He wants to negotiate with Harry for his services.

" I have one more way Mr. Grindelwald. You are asking for too much. The another choice is make you more loyal without negotiation," Harry said and quickly put his hand on the head of old man Gellert.

Harry is changing his some memory of this meeting. Planting some new thoughts in his mind. The memory of utter loyalty of Gellert Grindelwald towards Harry Potter. He is using momonga's magic which cannot be undone by another being in this world.

Few seconds later....

" I will obey and serve Lord Harry Potter," Mr Grindelwald said to harry. Harry doesn't enslave him but he changed his mind towards him. He made him his die heart follower. Grindelwald will follow his every order like a fan follows his celebrity.

" Give me your one hair Mr. Grindelwald. So I can make a body double for you. And your body double will die in a week. And you can leave with me," Harry said to gellert. Gellert without any hesitation gave him a hair of his head.

Harry waved some handsigns quickly and the hair changed into another Grindelwald.

" Now I will turn you into a small lizard Mr. Grindelwald," Harry said to gellert. And Gellert gave him a nod.

A magic circle is seen on the extended right hand of Harry and the real Grindelwald became a lizard . Harry picks the lizard and put it in his right shoulder and walked towards his cell after he dispelled the silent magic in the grindelwald cell. He became invisible till he reached inside his cell. Only the body double of Grindelwald is remained in the previous cell.

He dispelled the illusion in his cell. The small lizard is now seen moving around in his cell. Till an auror came to see harry. Small lizard went inside the pocket of Harry.

" Mr. Harry Potter you are released by ministry and all the charges against you is dropped," The auror said to Harry Potter. He opened the cell for Harry to come out.

Harry walked towards him and closed the cell gate. His action amazed the auror.

" First the minister of magic personally came to deliver me in Azkaban. He came all the way to arrest me in Hogwarts. He snapped my personal wand. First, he should fix my wand with his own galleons. I am here in Azkaban for 15 days. For that I want 15 million galleons as a compensation. When my demands are fulfilled I will leave the cell Mr auror. Till then I can spend a few more days to increase the millions in my pocket. One more day and a million galleons will be added in the compensation. Go and give my message to the minister of magic. Last I don't trust minister of magic. Don't even try to take me with a stunner otherwise I will add another million galleons for it. Now good bye Mr auror," Harry Potter said to auror. He went and sleep on the floor of his cell. He is taking the advantage of his situation.

Auror was shocked from Harry's proclamation but now he cannot take him like a criminal. So he has to floo back to ministry and inform them about the current situation. After all it became a big scandal when minister of magic himself put Harry inside the cell.

Auror left Harry Potter and went to ministry. He didn't see the smiling harry who is thinking about free money.
