Chapter 16 - Chapter 10

"No fucking way!?" Harry cried.

Percy Weasley, was frozen in a running position.

Harry looked around for possible accomplices. Ginny was still on the examine table, as her baby was shown to her on a viewing orb. She looked to be crying. This led Harry to the conclusion, Percy acted alone.

After Harry checked the whole floor for anyone that might be helping Percy, he bound and gagged him. Harry took Percy's wand.

Once Percy was secured, Harry disillusioned them, unfroze everyone and disapparated.

Undisclosed location….

Percy was unfrozen and Harry slapped him, hard.

"What the fuck!" Percy yelled.

He looked down at himself because he couldn't move, he was strapped to a chair and Harry's two fire cats were growling at him.

"Damn!" Percy cried.

"Damn can't describe how fucked you are Weasley," Harry drawled.

"Now I have some questions for you."

Harry pulled Percy's head back and put 6 drops of a potion Hermione invented, called ultimate truth into his mouth.

There was no wait time for it to work so Harry started his questioning.

"What's your name?"

"Percival Brian Weasley."

"Did you kill Daphne Zabini?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"So my sister could marry Blaise Zabini."

"Did your sister know about this?"

"No."

"Why did you decide to kill Daphne?"

" Ginny was so distraught, first you, then Blaise. I just wanted her to be happy."

"When did you decide to do it?"

"After Ginny confided in me that Blaise wanted her to be a baby factory. He and Daphne were gonna take her baby and raise it as their own. Her baby was all that she had, now that most of the family has disowned her. After what happened at your house 3 months ago, no one but Ron and I will even speak to her," Percy sighed.

"I wanted to do something for her. I wanted to make sure she'd be taken good care of, that she'd be okay."

"How did Daphne die?"

"I put a speed spell on myself and stuck her in the neck with an untraceable poison. The poison kills the person over the course of an hour and no one knows where the poison came from."

Why didn't you try doing that to me?"

"I didn't want the deaths to look as if they were connected."

"Why try to kill Hermione? I'm the one that broke up with Ginny and kicked her out."

"Because I knew if you were killed that bitch would be relentless. She would leave no stone unturned looking for your killer."

This pissed Harry off, when he called Hermione a bitch.

"Fire, Ice, bite!" Harry cried.

Both cats were only too happy to take a bite out of Percy's arm and leg.

Percy screamed bloody murder.

"Call my fiancé a bitch again and you won't be recognizable to even your own mother when I"m done with you," Harry hissed.

Harry then proceeded to remove memories from Percy that backed up what he'd told him. He removed his memories of the attack at ST. Mungo's. Harry then punched Percy several times in the face. Percy screamed and spit out teeth. Harry punched him once more and knocked him out. After untying him from the chair and bounding him with rope. Harry sent the fire cats to the manor to stay with Hermione. The bottled memories and Percy's snapped wand went into a pouch that Harry looped to his belt. He then grabbed a hold of the murderer and headed to the Ministry.

Ministry…

Harry dragged a crying, sniveling, bound Percy Weasley into the ministry. A crowd had gathered behind them as Harry pulled Percy towards the head aurors office. Harry would've levitated him, but dragging him through the building crying and beaten, with bite marks from the fire cats seemed more appropriate. Arthur Weasley was alerted by a friend what was going on and quickly came down from his office.

"Harry what's the meaning of this?" Arthur asked as Harry kept walking, dragging a crying Percy.

Arthur blocked Harry's path and was looking at him, demanding answers.

"Move Mr. Weasley before I have to embarrass you in front of your co-workers," Harry growled.

"I demand to know why you have my son, who is obviously injured tied up like an animal or criminal?"

"That's because he is a criminal, and I am delivering him to the aurors office, with the evidence. Now get the hell out of my way!"

"What did he do?" Mr. Weasley asked as he moved out of Harry's way.

"Are you sure you want me to answer that, here in front of all these people?"

Arthur looked around and said. "Fine!" with a huff. "Amelia's office is this way."

Harry barged into the head of the aurors office, without stopping at the front desk. After kicking open Madam Bones door, he threw Percy into a corner.

Amelia Bones was on her feet in an instant. "What is the meaning of this!?" she said looking at Arthur and Harry.

"I don't know Madam Bones," Arthur answered her.

"I was just as shocked as you are, seeing Harry man handle my son!" Arthur shouted, his anger showing through.

"Mr. Potter what's going on here?" Madam Bones says, looking at Harry.

Harry cleared his throat and took a seat before he said.

"Madam Bone I have solved the murder of Daphne Zabini."

"What!?" Arthur and Amelia shouted at the same time.

Harry ignored their outburst as he continued.

I have the Murderers memories of the attack, as well as the attack on myself and Hermione Granger today at ST. Mungo's, less than two hours ago. I also have his snapped wand, here in this bag with my memories of the ST. Mungo's attack." Harry said throwing the pouch on Amelia's desk.

"What happened to his face? who beat him up?" Arthur asked.

"I admit I beat the shit! out of him, literally. He tried to kill me and Hermione and said some things about her. He called her a bitch! So I kicked his ass. He's lucky that's all I did to him," Harry said standing up. "He also has fire cat bites, those will never heal by the way. No magic can heal those."

Harry looked over at Percy, still balled up in the corner crying. He then turned to Arthur.

"Mr. Weasley, your family is a piece of work. I am so glad I found out about Ginny before I proposed or something. The best thing to come out of that gene pool was Fred and George, in my opinion. I swear if another of your family members comes at me in anger, I will end their life," Harry hissed at Arthur.

"I don't believe my son did what you say he did, Mr. Potter. I taught my kids better than that. If this is true, I will pay restitution to your family to avoid a blood feud," Arthur said sadly.

"It is true!" Harry shouted. "There will be no blood feud unless Fred and George disowned your family name. I swear on my magic if another Weasley fucks with my family and I find out about it, I will end their life. That is not a threat but a promise. Now that I've said that I have to do it or lose my magic, so you know I'm serious."

Amelia and Arthur were in shock hearing what Harry just said. They knew he would kill the next person that messed with his family. Harry speaking snapped them out of their thoughts.

"Watch the memories and ask him whatever you want I gave him a potion that makes him tell you anything you want to know, no matter what it is for the next year. He can't fight it, he'll tell you Everything he has ever done. The ultimate truth potion, we won't be selling it or giving out the recipe. Can't just have anybody using it.

I'm leaving now, I have to go check on my fiancé. If you need to get in touch with me, hold off for 24 hours. I need to calm my fiancé and get my anger under control."

Before Amelia or Arthur could say anything more, Harry had disapparated.

"Did he just apparate through the ministry wards?" Amelia asked.

"Yes I think he did," Arthur replied.

Amelia came from behind her desk and looked at a still crying Percy, shaking her head. Arthur didn't say anything he just looked on sadly. Two aurors were called in to take Percy to a magic blocking holding cell, while the evidence was reviewed and Percy could be questioned. Arthur went to find Percy a lawyer. He also had to tell Molly. that was one conversation he wasn't looking forward to.

Potter Manor….

"Mi! I'm home," Harry called as the fire cats greeted him, almost knocking him over.

"Harry!" Hermione came running.

"Where have you been? You've been gone more than two hours."

Hermione was hugging Harry so hard around the neck and kissing his face all over. Harry had to tell her she was loving him to hard at the moment. Hermione apologized, then the questions started.

"Who was it? Did you kill them? Where is the body?"

" Slow down there," Harry said laughing.

" You'll never believe who it is."

"Who?"

"Percy Weasley."

"Get the fuck out of here!" Hermione cried, holding both hands up to her mouth.

"Yeah it was him."

"Not Mr. follow the rules, go by the book?"

"The one and only," Harry laughed.

"Did you kill him? I won't be mad," Hermione said sadly.

"No, I didn't kill him, I used the ultimate truth potion on him.

He killed Daphne Zabini.

Hermione gasped, before saying. "Why would he do that?"

"For Ginny, said some rot about her being happy and marrying Blaise."

"Was Ginny involved in he murder?"

"No, she had no idea what he did. He said that the rest of their family abandoned her, he was making sure her and the baby would be taken care of. He killed Daphne so Blaise would be free to marry Ginny."

"Why was he trying to kill us?"

"He wanted me gone purely for revenge. He also knew you would not stop looking for the culprit if I suddenly was killed. He was trying to kill two birds… or should I say three birds, with one blasting hex,"Harry said rubbing Hermione's belly.

"Damn, he was gunning for us huh?" Hermione said nervously.

"Yeah I guess so love, but he didn't get us," Harry said kissing Hermione on the forehead.

Harry led Hermione to their bedroom, neither of them saying a word. Harry waved his hands and they were changed into their night wear. The couple cuddled together as Hermione began to cry. Harry just held her and kissed her. In-between crying Hermione said. "I love you Harry, so much."

"I love you too Hermione, and I won't let anybody hurt you."

The couple spent the next few hours making love. Later they had dinner, watched a movie and went to bed with only good thoughts.
