Slaves of modern times

// THIS IS AN OLD CHAPTER. THE NEW CHAPTERS ARE IN VOLUME 2. YOU CAN READ THESE CHAPTERS IF YOU WANT SOME INSIGHT ON WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN LATER BUT SOME EVENTS CAN BE DIFFERENT BETWEEN THE OLD AND NEW CHAPTERS.

Fourteen days after the ghosts of Hogwarts were put to work, I impatiently wait for them to bring me the five boys responsible for Rose's misfortune.

I hear footsteps on the damp floor of the room. I took advantage of the lunch break to get them to come here without anyone knowing, it would have been impossible to get them out of the dormitory without Dumbledore being informed by the fat lady but with my ghosts possessing them I can make them go wherever I want to. I've learned as much as I can about them over the past two weeks.

First, everyone thinks they are nuts. They claim to whoever will listen to them that they are haunted by the ghosts of Hogwarts. Dumbledore interrogated the ghosts one by one to verify what they are saying but he couldn't get anything out of them. None of them remember me or my orders when they are not under the effect of my spell. Now everyone thinks they have either gone mad or they are trying to be victimized with this ghost story.

Then I found out the names of the other three students who participated in the attack besides Ron and Colin. There is Ned Taylor, the son of the manager of the magic menagerie who has agreed to falsify his accounts so that I could buy a kneazle. There is also Thomas Murphy, a Muggle-born who follows Harry's orders as if he was a god walking among us. And the least respectable of them John Stockard, he is a Gryffindor who already spent most his time brutalizing the weaker students of other houses, the rotten fruit of the Gryffindors.

All of Rose's attackers are now in front of me. I make them take off their robes and shirts so I can see their torso. I pull out my new dagger, a great acquisition I made in an armory that creates fancy Muggle weapons. The blade and the handle are a single piece of metal, the dagger must have been made in a mold, with a simple strip of fabric to improve my grip on it. I requested that the armorer engrave runes aimed at strengthening the sharpness of the blade as well as its hardness, turning it into the perfect weapon for dismembering supernatural creatures like vampires for example.

I slice their skin to draw my seal of domination right in front of their hearts and slash my fingers to let a drop of my blood escape into their freshly opened wounds. The symbol activates and cauterizes their wounds leaving permanently a scar in the shape of my seal. They are now my slaves, now and forever.

"Wipe out the blood that has flowed from your wounds and used the bandages you see laying on the floor, then come to see me one by one. Hogwarts Phantom you have accomplished my revenge you are free to resume your normal no-life: liberation termination exspiravit "

The ghosts disperse and return to their activities as my new group of slaves heal the new token of loyalty that they now wear on their chest.

"Ron, I'll start with you." Ronald comes to stand right in front of me as I begin my brainwashing job. I start by removing all his bad habits, eating loudly at the table, eating his boogers, his Slytherin hatred, and the list goes on and on. I then change his emotions about his different memories, I can't really change those, or people would notice something, but I can change the way Ron perceives them. At the end of the operation, I don't even really need the seal anymore, Ron could sacrifice himself for me without flinching.

I repeat the operation on the others, turning the dregs of the Gryffindors into model students in my service. For Colin, I had thought to use my dagger to cut his genitals, but a much better idea came to me, I hypnotized him so that he could never get hard again in his whole life. And if he ever did, just touching a woman or a man sexually would make him throw up. I have installed in him such a discomfort with his sexuality that he no longer knows which side he is on; I wouldn't be surprised to see him burst into tears because of the uncertainties of his life.

"I am now your master. You will not tell anyone about me and in public you will not talk to me as if I were your master but another normal student. I want you to give me a list tomorrow with all the supporters of Potter who would be ready to commit a crime for him like you have been. That will be all gentlemen. Ah yes, I almost forgot, punch Colin in the balls before going to sleep at night. "

My new mindless little puppets are quietly returning to their dorms, laughing and telling each other jokes like they've just had the best time of their short lives. The next day, I'm using the list they gave me in class to subdue and reshape all of the Gryffindor bad seed.

I don't think I've ever seen McGonagall so happy to see the number of Gryffindors in detention reduced. Ginny is thrilled with her brother's complete change of attitude, his clothes are clean, and his hair is neat, he eats balanced meals instead of rushing for meat.

I can't wait for Rose to come back with us now that there is nothing that can harm her here. I also hope to see Harry again to make his life a living hell.
