Chapter 10: Two Better Than One II

"Haaaaaa… Who told you to attack the swine Weasleys?!" Voldemort bellowed, a flare of magic oozing from his body, shaking the entire Malfoy manor. "Do you know what we lost today?"

With bulging red eyes and a paler face, Voldemort looked like a demonic version of himself. He waved his wand at the Death Eaters he had summoned right after seeing the horrid visions through Harry Potter's mind.

"Fenrir and two more dead, Bellatrix captured and… forever lost!" There was sorrow in his rageful tone. "Avada Kedavra!"

Out of nowhere, he killed one of the Death Eaters for no reason. His breath was ragged. He could still see the scenes flickering before his eyes even after having stopped watching Harry.

"G-Gather… the forces!" He commanded. "We shall… ugh!"

Thud!

Voldemort suddenly fell down to his knees, clutching his head in throbbing pain.

"You incompetent imbeciles!"

He still didn't stop roaring at them. After all, losing Bellatrix and Fenrir meant a lot.

When morning came, Harry realized he did not need to clean himself up that thoroughly. Bellatrix had already licked his groin clean with her savory warm tongue. Dragging her tongue over every inch of the spot she sullied last night.

Voldemort really lost a great pawn. He thought while getting up from the bed and seeing Bellatrix sitting on her knees at the bedside, still naked but now very clean. Her hair was combed, and her jutting round breasts were a sight to behold early in the morning. He truly lost an asset.

"You can get dressed… Bellatrix," he ordered while getting dressed himself. "Remember to act like an annoyed prisoner. They must believe that I have control over you while also seeing your repulsiveness for control over you. We can only remove that wall slowly, and make them truly accept us as one of them."

"That's a wonderful plan, my Lord. They will never see what's coming for them." Bellatrix was excited already.

"But my other body may react strangely," he added, sowing the seeds for the future. "My other body will act enraged and try to get you back to ensure the Ministry and Dumbledore believe that 'Harry Potter' has taken you hostage. You are to attack my other body with complete strength. It's meant to be destroyed over time so 'I' can rise as The-Boy-Who-Lived."

"Hehe…" She giggled like a teenager in love. "I shall follow your command, my Lord."

"Master… Master Potter, it's what you shall call me before them." He corrected her and fixed his jacket before moving towards the door. "Silently follow me now and keep a scornful expression on your face."

Following that, Harry walked out of the room and headed downstairs. It was the last day before school was to start, but there was more of a crowd now than ever before. When he reached the main living room, he found Dumbledore with a few loyal Aurors behind him—Moody, Shacklebolt, and such.

"Harry," Dumbledore observed him carefully to ensure no harm had come to him. At the same time, he remained careful of the eyes lurking inside Harry's mind.

"Professor," Harry greeted, measuring the faces in the room. They all seemed too intense for a fine morning that he was having. "I suppose you all came to see her."

"Hmph!" Bellatrix scoffed at them, standing proudly in her usual black dress.

Dumbledore nodded, looking at her. "It's been a while, Bellatrix Lestrange. Only if we had seen the darkness lingering within you before…"

"This is no time for that. Let me make her speak. She won't hold on for too long." Moody stepped forward, suggesting an interrogation.

Bellatrix sneered at Moody, "Says the man who lost to Crouch Junior, pathetic."

"Tell them what they wish to know," Harry ordered her. "You are bound by the vow. Professor, ask her anything you want."

Dumbledore stepped closer to Harry and Bellatrix, "Can you list all the Death Eaters that you know?"

Bellatrix showed an intense frown on her face as if she struggled against her own mouth. She stuttered at the start and eventually began to speak. "R-Rodolphus Lestrange, Rebastan Lestrange, Alecto Carrow, Amycus Carrow, Antonin Dolohov, Augustus Rookwood, Thorfinn Rowle, Yaxley, Walden Macnair, Travers, Evan Rosier, Mulciber, Gibbon, Jugson, Avery, Crabbe, Goyle, Karkaroff, Peter Pettigrew, Lees, Snydes, Nott… that's all I remember."

Speechless and dumbfounded, Dumbledore and the rest looked at each other's faces in shock of it all. They got a list of Voldemort's core army so easily. It felt almost too good to be true.

"We can't be sure. Give her to me, and she will speak," Moody suggested, his fake eye running in circles like crazy. "She's the closest to the Dark Lord. She's responsible for what happened to the Longbottoms. We can't have her live free."

Harry decided to speak at that moment, "She will willingly break the vow and choose death if we force her. She has agreed to aid us, but if we force her…"

"Harry is right. With the presence of the Unbreakable Vow, Bellatrix is under control. But we cannot let her roam freely," Dumbledore said, humming to himself and stroking his beard. "Harry shall be in Hogwarts, and to command her, she needs to be close."

"Hogwarts it is, then!" Moody barked. "Keeping your enemies closer?"

Harry silently rejoiced as he had just remembered something else. Wait, she can help me deal with Draco. She must know everything about the plan, but… I can't ask her directly.

"Can you keep her on a leash, Potter?" asked Moody.

Much more than that… I think.

"I-I can… As long as the Unbreakable Vow isn't breakable." He showed hesitation. How shrewd he had become, he was very aware of it now. It was as if Voldemort had changed him for the better somehow.

"It is decided then." Dumbledore waived his hand and ended the little meeting. "Let us focus on checking all the names Bellatrix has told us."

Quickly, a little morning breakfast was prepared, and Bellatrix ate it silently while sitting beside Harry. Of course, she never failed to miss a chance to touch her beloved Lord, brushing her leg against his side or touching his thigh with her hands under the table.

He sighed and let her do so. As long as she was happily following him, he was prepared to do anything.

Since he couldn't possibly take Bellatrix with him on the Hogwarts Express, Dumbledore took her with him while he headed to King's Cross the next day. He went before the Weasleys since his plan also included visiting Gringotts before heading to the station.

Carefully, keeping his face hidden under a hooded cloak, he entered the bank's building and was received by a Goblin waiting there.

"Follow me, Mr. Potter."

He did so, traversing through the gap between two tellers' high stone counters, entering a part of the bank he had never seen before. Right away, he noticed countless wooden cabins littered across the space.

"This one."

Harry nodded and turned the knob of one cabin and entered the little room. There was nothing else for furniture besides a table and four chairs in the middle. As for the occupants, he saw the blonde-haired charming sight, Narcissa, waiting for him.

She stood up to shake hands with him and stepped closer. Harry stared at her body-hugging silver gown, which accentuated the curves of her wide hips. She was wearing a black coat over it. Her hair was loosely tied behind her head, and the hoop earrings were charming on her too.

"Mr. Potter." Surprising Harry, she kissed the side of his face as she was as tall as him. The scent of her body flared a response from his nose, making him reciprocate the kiss on the cheek like some high society snobs.

Strange, I don't feel a hint of repulsiveness, or hate from her anymore. Harry felt it and took a seat opposite to her.

"I heard about the attack," Narcissa started right away. "Are you alright?"

He chuckled, "You're more worried about your son's well-being, aren't you? Don't worry, Fenrir and two more died. Bellatrix is now under my control… with a few vows."

Narcissa gasped, "He will not stop until he has killed you. He cherishes Bellatrix."

"I know, and I don't care. What matters is that I have done a favor for you, Mrs. Malfoy. I stopped Bellatrix from giving Lucius and Draco's names as Death Eaters to Moody and Dumbledore."

Narcissa's slender brows creased tight, her beautiful face looking more charming like that. "T-Thank you, Mr. Potter."

He smiled, remembering that Christmas night. "I'm doing this for myself. But I am not doing this as charity either."

Narcissa nodded and suddenly opened her coat's front button, revealing the bountiful mounds in her dress, a deep cleavage inviting him in. "I'll give you anything."

Really? It's that easy now? It feels like she wants this more than I do.

But Harry shook his head, "As much as I'd love to, it's getting late. I want you to buy me some Felix Felicis potions, five of them. They are hard to come by, and I suppose you can arrange it."

Oh? Disappointment in her eyes? Harry felt confused as to why she was forcing herself onto him.

"That can easily be arranged. When do you need it?"

"By the end of next week. Send it to Hogwarts." Harry stood up to leave. "I'll investigate Draco in the meantime and see what I can do."

"Thank you, thank you so much." She came rushing up and hugged him tightly, her eyes appearing horrified. "Forgive me—us—for all the wrong we have done to you, Mr. Potter."

Harry sighed and felt his palms on her soft waist, trailing the curves and kneading her magnificent maternal ass, "It's too early to thank me, Mrs. Malfoy. Unless the Dark Lord loses, we remain enemies."

She agreed and let him go from her vulnerable embrace. Whatever was in her mind, even if she relished in what they did that night, it was a fact she was doing it all for her family.

"I understand."

Harry gave a nod and stopped at the door, his hand on the knob. "If I'm able to save Draco, I'll need you to make a vow similar to Bellatrix."

She gulped and squinted her eyes shut, "If you can save him, I'll give you my life."

"See you later."
