Recruitment.

"You see the problem with using potions on vampires and other magical creatures is they can quickly work it out of their system. The draught of living death for instance only works for about five hours when it is a permanent thing for wizards and humans." I tell her as the veritaserum wears off and she starts shouting at me about how I'll pay and such.

"Back to science class." I say hitting her with a silencing spell.

"Another potion that is illegal to use on us is the loyalty potion." I say pushing forward a grayish potion. "This usually gives said person amazing levels of trust and confidence in said person making them extremely loyal and will even defend said person from nasty accusations or do what said person asks them too. Kind of like a brainwashing potion." I say with a smile.

"Next up on the list of shit we aren't supposed to use. Amortentia. This silvery looking one is the most powerful love potion in existence. Usually when used on a person it's for line theft. It can be combined with a lust potion or something similar so that desperate people can snag themselves a lord or heir. Say you like little billy for his vast fortune and dazzling good manor. Slip him a few of these and spread you legs. Erase his memory then pop out an heir. You can then trick him into marriage or kill him off and your son can take over his lordship. I know a lovely young lass who did this to a muggle man and birthed a complete fucking psycho. Great story. I'll tell you about it sometime." I love teaching people stuff.

"There's a few other nasty ones like the friendship potion. It makes the drinker think the person who gave it to them is their absolute best friend in the entire world and they would do anything for that person." I push a yellow potion forward. Then I name off a few more nasty ones.

"Now all of these would have only minor effects on you for a while. Seeing as your a magical creature." I say as she smiles at me like she just won.

"That's where these potions come in handy." I push forward the more shiny versions of said potions.

"Now these are beyond masterly level potions and even I can't make them as they are insanely difficult to manufacture. There are very very few people in the world who can throw one of these together. My adopted father happens to be one of them. I can also buy them from a nice little store I happen to know of. These are called everlasting elixirs. I'm sure you get the drift at what everlasting means. Now these potions have ingredients that are so insanely expensive or so hard to find that you will almost guaranteed never see a single on in your life. Worse is if you were to take them as there's no cure or any way know to reverse them." I explain as her eyes widen in horror.

"But that's not all you see I've got this lovely little artifact. It's called the cup of hufflepuff and it has only a singular ability. Doubling the effects of any potion poured from it." I scoot the golden chalice into the center where she can see.

"The way I see it you have three option I can give you. Option number one I brand you as my slave and your forced to do my bidding until I die or you do. Needless to say I have a way to guarantee my longevity. My first order will be for you too drink these everlasting elixirs from the chalice so even if you break free you'll still be totally fucked. Next option you sign a contract and become my consort I'm sure you know what a consort is right. Kind of like a wife but with less power. If you do this freely I guarantee you a happy life and all you'll have to do so be my assistant. You know help me with cases do my paperwork torture some scum all that good stuff. Your mind will still be slowly altered but that not my fault I have a very loyal puppy who will probably convert you into loving me or something slowly. Third option is you reject both offers, this would be the fun option. I'll still douse you with so many potions you'll think I'm your lord and savior. Then I set your vicious little ass on your friends, your family, anything you care about and I'll force you to kill them to prevent future problems for me." I say with a cruel smile.

"I'm sure you can smell the lingering scent of death in this place. You see I had a family friend stay here for a while and I did all sorts of fun experiments on him as a hobby from cutting him open to cutting off limbs. I may have been busy at one point in time and forgot to water him for a few weeks and he might have died. I actually enjoyed his company once he stopped screaming for help." I say looking at her.

"You are insane." She says.

"You say insane I say curious. Potato-tomato same thing." I smile at her.

She bites her lips and thinks hard for a second. "I'll take the consort contract." She says.

I float a paper and a pen to her hand and she signs her name. I had added a few stipulations to the contract a couple of minor compulsion and she can't try to harm anyone around me. No one told her not to read it before she signed. This is really why you should have a lawyer present at any contract signing.

Magic accepts the agreement. You see I can't force someone into something like this but if I offer them options and they sign it willingly then it's all good. Her mind clicks in with our and the imprinting starts to slowly alter her view of me for the better. I'll just let her sit her for a while.
