Perry Hotter and the Vanishing Virginity 6
Chapter 6
The next morning we ate breakfast in our room, then headed to class as usual, and had a fairly decent day of classes. We had lunch in our room, but decided that we seem to be doing well around others, and that we wanted to eat dinner with the rest of the students again. I mentally asked Bummemore if he was okay with Drago sitting at the Griffendoer table with me, and he said he was okay with it, but to be careful. We promised him that we would not kill or permanently maim any of our fellow students, and he laughed, saying that we certainly do not have to worry any.
On our way to the great hall, we once more held hands the entire way, shocking even more students. As we walked, I reminded Drago that I have anti-Dementor training this evening, and asked him to come with me, which he wholeheartedly agreed to. When we walked in the great hall, those who saw us first, nudged those who had not yet seen us, and within the breadth of three breaths, the entire great hall was as silent as a tomb, every student staring at us, except Rod and Hermoany.
I waved to them, they waved to me, and scooted down a couple seats to make room for both of us. How they could know, I have no idea, but they made more than enough room for Drago as well. So, we headed over to join them. We both sat down, and just as we were about to start speaking, Rod pointed with his chin.
“Looks like the welcoming committee is coming.” He said, for seven of the older Slitherin boys were heading our way.
Rod took out his wand and leveled it at the approaching students. I put my hand out and pushed his wand arm down.
“Good evening gentlemen.” Drago said in as friendly a tone as he was able to.
“What are you doing here, and why were you holding his hand?” The biggest one asked.
“We're boyfriends, and Headmaster Bummemore allowed us to sit together.” Drago said calmly.
“You're shaming our entire house, gay, and cavorting with the enemy.”
“No, you're shaming everyone by being so stupid. I love who I love, and I ask no one for permission or forgiveness. Now, go away, I wish to eat dinner with my friends.” He said softly.
Then big, ugly, and stupid, and no, I am talking of only one of them, not three different students, pulled out his wand, and pointed it right at Drago's face.
“That wasn't very smart.” Drago said, then whipped out his own wand, said Expelliarmus under his breath so fast it shocked the boy, and was then holding his wand.
Of course Drago was already casting the spell in his mind before he even had his wand out or speaking it, hence the reason he was so fast.
“Now, should I snap your wand in half for attacking a fellow student?” Drago asked calmly, grasping it from either end and making as if to snap it.
“No, don't, please!” He begged.
“What curse were you about to use, and directly at my face?”
“I was gonna shock you.” He said.
“You're lying. I know you're lying, and I think everyone else does as well. I think you were gonna either blast me, or maybe transfigure me, or something else a little more than just a simple shock. Now, give me one reason why I shouldn't snap your wand.”
“I could have my friends hurt you if you do.” He growled.
“Wrong answer.” He growled, and then snapped the wand in half and threw it down.
This caused him to shriek in loss, for when a wand is snapped, it is a huge blow to a wizard, and his friends all pulled theirs out.
Both Drago and I yelled out Expelliarmus at the same time, then gathered the other six wands at once.
“And why, exactly, should we not snap your wands now?” Drago asked calmly.
“You can't.” Another boy said.
Drago and I then proceeded to snap one more wand each, we have no idea whose, but two boys in particular shrieked in response, one of them bursting into tears.
“Hmm, I think that too was the wrong answer. Four more wands, two more chances, why shouldn't we do it, hmm, let's see if any of you are honest enough to give me the right answer?” Drago said softly.
And still not one teacher had left their table. They were all rather enjoying the show. The entire rest of the school too were enjoying the show. Though each and every person in the place winced as each wand was snapped.
“Our parents will make you pay for our wands.” One of the boys who just lost his said.
“Um, no, not gonna happen.” And then we snapped two more, and two more students wailed out their misery.
Finally, one of the two boys who was left, submitted.
“Fine, I'll never bother you again, I've learned my lesson.” He said meekly.
“Good, you get your wand back.” Drago said, and then I handed him his wand back.
“And you?” Drago asked the last boy.
“Same.”
“No, say it, mean it, swear it.”
“I'll never bother you again either, ever, just please, don't snap my wand. My parents won't replace it.”
“Just remember that, all of you, I won't hesitate to snap every wand of those who defy me.” He said, and then handed back the wand.
We then handed over the pieces of all the snapped wands to their former owners.
“Keep these as a reminder as to what happens when you cross me or my boyfriend.” Drago said more than loud enough for everyone to hear, so that everyone could understand.
Then another Slitherin, a second year I think he is, stood up, fired a spell right at me that I did not recognize, and all I had time to do was put up my hand. The dark purple light of the spell hit my hand, and then my body absorbed the power.
“Hmm, that's new.” I said to Drago in my mind.
“Interesting.” Drago said to me in my mind, then turned his wand on the boy.
The boy floated up in the air, soared toward us, and Drago set him down right in front of us.
“I recognized that curse, that was a curse that my parents taught to me, a curse so bad that being caught using it against another witch or wizard can lead you to Azkaban almost as fast as the three worst curses. You dare use such a horrific curse against my boyfriend.” Drago snarled out, sounding incredibly dangerous.
“For Moldyvort and might.” He said defiantly.
“Moldyvort is dead and gone, and anyone stupid enough to still cherish him or wish him back are nothing in my books. Had that curse hit my boyfriend and done its intended job, you may have just killed him. Tell me, then, what should I do to you as punishment for trying to kill my boyfriend?”
“You can kill me, I'll die a hero to my proper lord for spreading his name.”
“No, I won't kill you, I'd never allow the likes of you to become a martyr. What I will do is this.” He said, and took the boys wand, snapped it in half, and then proceeded to burn it to a pile of ashes right in front of the boy.
“That was just the beginning. After dinner, the three of us are gonna have a meeting with the headmaster, and we'll punish you as severely as he'll allow, and I'll take no pleas from the likes of you. Now, sit, on the floor like the obedient little puppy you are, and do not move.”
He tried to run, Drago waved his wand and spoke a spell, and the boy came zooming back to us, but still trying to run forward. It looked especially funny.
“I said sit, I will not ask again. If you make me do so, I will make you do so, and I assure you, I can and will, and you will not like it.”
He gave Drago a defiant look again, and refused to sit, so Drago waved his wand and said another command, and the boy sat.
“Good boy.” He said, just like he was speaking to a dog.
Still the entire school looked on in awe, even Professor Bummemore was in awe, Professor McGoonagal even had her moth hanging open in shock.
“Now, anyone else, or can we finally eat in peace?” Drago called out.
No one said or did anything at all, no one dared to breathe in our direction.
“Good. May we eat now Headmaster?”
“Yes, yes you may.” He said, coming out of his stupor. I think this may have actually shocked him.
A second later, the food was all on the tables. My friends and us started digging in, piling our plates full, and then started eating. It was still a full two minutes later that the rest of the houses started eating as well. First was our table, then the Huffandsuck's, then the Ravenscock's, then the teachers, and finally the Slitherin's. It was still silent as a tomb as everyone ate, except the four of us, as well as a few more of our friends.
“Well, that was an interesting dinner.” Rod said as we were leaving the hall, our obedient little puppy following us, though not of his own free will, even though that is what it looked like to anyone else watching.
“Yes, we thought it might be. Was fun though. Did you see their reactions as I snapped all their wands, it was like I reached into their chests and ripped out their still beating hearts.” Drago grinned.
“Having had my wand broken, I can assure you, that's exactly what it feels like.” Rod said. “And mine wasn't even totally destroyed.”
“Oh yeah, I forgot about that.” Drago said.
We broke off with Rod and Hermoany, and led our charge to the room where we knew that Bummemore was waiting for us in. As soon as we arrived, we pointed to a chair, and the young boy went and sat. We then sat down as well.
“Good evening Headmaster.” Drago said formally.
“And good evening to you as well Drago. That little performance this evening was quite an eye opener to many a student and teacher here, I assure you. Even I learned a couple things, and that's not easy for me to say any more. What would that spell have done, I've never seen it?”
“You've heard of it though Sir, it causes the recipient to go absolutely insane, quite often they kill themselves, or they go on a killing spree, usually targeting family, but they usually still end up killing themselves.”
“He tried to do that to me?” I asked in shock, because Drago had carefully hidden that from me.
“Yes, and the reason I didn't let you see it, was because of what you would've done to him had you known before cooling down some.”
“Thanks Baby. I'm glad you snapped his wand.”
“I've never seen that spell used before, though, yes, I've heard of it, magic almost as dark as the darkest of magics, and almost totally untraceable, the recipient almost always just seems to have gone berserk.” Bummemore said softly, dangerously.
“Exactly, one of Moldyvort's favorite punishments for not joining him was to cast this upon someone with family, then watch as he or she killed his or her entire family, then usually kill themselves shortly thereafter. Usually the mention of doing this was more than enough to make people do as they were told.”
“How could magic like this even be taught to anyone, let alone a child?” I asked in disgust.
“There's so much more that I was taught, magic so evil that it'd make you sick. I've hidden it from you, not because I don't trust you with it, but because it really should die.”
“I agree wholeheartedly.”
“So, what are you thinking of doing with young Zachary here then?” The headmaster asked curiously.
Said Zachary was sitting there, staring at us with absolute fear in his eyes.
“Find out all he knows, erase all bad curses from his mind, remove him from his parents, who I happen to know were almost as high up as my parents were, and punish him in the same ways I punished my parents. I think that that should work. I'm also thinking that two weeks without being allowed a new wand should loosen things up a bit.”
“May I suggest a change?”
“Of course Headmaster.” Drago said.
“He'll still need a wand for school. We have a selection that we can loan, for just such an emergency of course, so what say we make it three months, instead, and he's only allowed to have his wand in the classes in which he needs them, and at no other time.”
“I like that Sir, very well then.”
And then we all turned to Zachary. He gulped.
“You were unable to speak before, as you clearly found out, I was sick of hearing your utter nonsense, now you'll find you can speak, but this is a privilege, not a right. Abuse said privilege, and I remove it again, only I might accidentally forget to remove it for a few days or so. So, we're gonna ask you some questions, and you're gonna answer them. If you lie to us, we'll know, if you don't tell us what we need to know, we'll punish you. So, first, why did you attack my boyfriend in such a horrific manner?”
“Because it's my right and my duty to eradicate the likes of this filth.”
“That's not a lie, you firmly believe that, which is unfortunate, because I wanted to punish you for lying. That doesn't mean I'm letting you off with no punishments though, because you called my boyfriend filth, and I simply cannot allow that. What do you think would be suitable punishment for calling someone's boyfriend filth?” Drago asked softly, menacingly.
“Do what you want, I'll never bow to you. Some day soon, when the dark lord returns, I'll be his most faithful follower, I'll do everything I can to eradicate all filth from his glorious vision.”
“Wow, you were way more brainwashed than my parents ever dreamed of making me.”
“You're a disgrace.”
“You know, my parents tried to say the same thing to me, they too were punished for it.” Drago laughed loudly.
“When the dark lord returns, you two will be the first he kills, but if I get the chance to do so first, I will, again.”
“The dark lord will never return, and you will have no better luck a second time.”
“The more you punish me, the more loyal I become to the dark lord, the more he'll welcome me when he returns. ”
“Wow, you truly believe that, don't you. What utter nonsense. The dark lord cared for no one, nothing except power, and no one had power enough for him. You'd be nothing more than a nuisance to him, a puppy who keeps pissing on the carpet.”
“I'll be his most loyal servant.”
“You'll be a servant alright. Now, no more, every time you say a thing about being with the dark lord or anything like that, ever again, you'll experience pain. The more you do so, the more the pain. A sliver of magic will lodge itself into your body somewhere, and the more you do so, the longer it lasts as well. Also, from here on out, you'll be unable to cast any dark spells, ever again, and trust me, even if we die, our spell will still work. If you attempt to bypass this in any way, such as with potions or some other such means, we'll take away all your magic, we'll leave you a squib. We'll also prevent you from killing yourself, or having someone else do it for you, you'll forever be tortured with what you lost. You will become good, or it'll drive you mad. Eventually you'll beg us to release the pain, and we may do so if we feel you've learned your lesson, but I wouldn't bet on it.”
“You wouldn't dare, the dark lord will....” And then he squealed in pain as the first magical sliver was inserted. This one a rather large one, for we both felt his intentions, and placed right in the heel of his left foot, so for days he will be unable to walk without severe pain.
“Hurts, doesn't it. You were about to tell us just how much your precious dark lord would make us suffer if we did anything at all to you, but now you get to suffer instead. Keep on going, I beg you, let us put an even larger sliver in your puny little dick, and I bet it's tiny, like a five year olds, isn't it.” Drago taunted.
“Fuck you, I'll never bow to you.” He said, and then started squealing again, because Drago did do it.
“That one lasts one hour. If you get hard, it'll be pure agony, peeing will even be painful, just moving will feel like a saw against your dick. It won't kill you, nothing physically is happening to you, but that's not what it feels like, does it.” Drago asked evilly.
“Careful, I think you're enjoying this.” I whispered to Drago.
“I'm not, you can feel how sick this is making me, but he's even more brainwashed than my parents were.” He said, and I can feel what he is talking about.
“Don't hurt him too much more, I don't want you feeling bad, even for someone like this.”
“I won't, and thanks.” Again, all this said in our heads.
“Oh god, take it out.” Zachary wailed in agony.
“No, you were told what'd happen, that stays for an hour, the next one, though, if your deed's deemed bad enough, the punishment could be worse. Try this for a day, or a week, or a month. I wouldn't stop you from cutting your own dick off, and you might if you hadta endure this for an entire month.”
“Please, I beg you?”
“No. Not 'til I believe that you've changed, become a good person. Every time you do bad, you suffer. Every time you speak Moldyvort's name, you suffer. Every time you even think bad thoughts, you suffer. In order to make the suffering stop, you haveta do good. Was it your parents that caused this hatred?”
“You can't make me tell.” He said.
“Wrong answer, two hours.”
“No, never.”
“Fine, four hours. I double every time you refuse. Please, keep refusing.”
“Oh god, no, please, make it stop.”
“Answer the question.”
“Yes, god yes, they've raised me in his name.”
“You're being trained as a killer, aren't you?”
“Yes.”
“How many lives have you taken?”
“So many.”
“How many?”
“I, they made me befriend a boy when I was eight, his parents had hurt mine, I was to torture and kill him. I did, I enjoyed it, it made me feel powerful.”
“How many more.”
“That was my first, twelve, maybe thirteen more. They trained me on dogs, cats, rabbits. I learned how to torture and kill them all from the time I was five, sometimes in front of kids, their pets, to teach them lessons.” He sobbed.
