Chapter 152: Unraveling the Dark Plot
"The key to that is drinking this." Harry said as he forced another goblet full of poison down Dumbledore's throat.
"ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME?!" Dumbledore shouted.
"Just drink." Harry ordered as he made Dumbledore drink another goblet full. After several more times the basin was nearly empty. "Just one more." Harry told him after filling up the goblet once more.
"Please! I don't anymore!"
"Blame your past self, he was very insistent." Harry replied as he placed the goblet to Dumbledore's lips and forced it down. "Drink it." Harry said, placing a hand over Dumbledore's mouth to stop him from spitting it out. Dumbledore reluctantly swallowed it down and gasped when Harry let his mouth go.
"Water..." Dumbledore gasped out. "...I need water." He said in a pained voice.
"The goblet's not filling up with water." Harry said after a couple of attempts to fill it, "fuck it." Harry said before blasting Dumbledore in the face with water. "Does that work?" Harry asked.
"A little bit." Dumbledore coughed heavily.
"I dare say you're going to need more than water." A familiar voice said. Dumbledore and Harry turned around to see Voldemort standing there with Apophis standing next to him. "Isn't this lovely?"
"Hello Tom," Dumbledore said in a calm voice, as if he was not poisoned and met with the the greatest dark lord in history. Internally though he was terrified, he forced himself to his feet with a little help from Harry but he still couldn't stand and had to lean against the basin. "how did you find us?" Dumbledore asked. "Was there an alert ward that I missed?"
"No," Voldemort chuckled as Apophis aimed his wand at Dumbledore, the tip was glowing red. "you did not. A little birdie told me, a certain spy, can you guess his name?"
"Severus...Severus would never betray me." Dumbledore said in a confident voice.
"Oh but he did Dumbledore." Voldemort smiled. "Why would you think that he wouldn't? Because he was in love with Potter's mother? You fool, Snape may have lusted after Potter's mother but if you think he is capable of anything beyond that then you are only fooling yourself. He only went to you on my orders. I had ordered him to do so in return for sparing Lily Potter."
"You're lying." Dumbledore said, even though doubt creeped into his voice. After all many people over the years had questioned him about Snape, Harry included, but no...no Dumbledore trusted Snape.
"Am I?" Voldemort drawled. "I swear on my magic that I am not, but that is besides the point. Even if Snape had not told me I would have still known about you coming here."
"How?" Dumbledore asked in a tired voice.
"Quite simple," Apophis said, speaking for the first time since coming here. "he would have told us." He said as he gestured with his wand past Dumbledore. Dumbledore frowned before looking over his shoulder just in time to see Harry aim his wand at him, before Dumbledore could say anything he was hit with a stunner and his world turned black.
Dumbledore groaned as he felt himself wake up, he didn't wake up naturally either, which meant that somebody had cast a reviving charm on him. Dumbledore's throat was dry, his head was ringing, his body was tired and his eyes were heavy. It took several moments before he was able to see clearly and realize what was happening.
He was sat against the basin, chains tied him to it. His hands were broken and in a numb sort of pain, he couldn't feel his legs either, which was not comforting. He looked up and saw a trio of people standing in front of him, Voldemort was standing on Dumbledore's left with Apophis standing on Dumbledore's right and in the middle Harry Potter was standing. Harry was holding what looked like a large pile of white hair in his left hand.
"Really Dumbledore," Harry said as he tossed the hair away. "making the bottom part of your beard a portkey? I'm impressed, that's ingenious." Harry complimented, Dumbledore looked down and saw the bottom part of his beard was indeed missing. "Plus there are the other five portkeys we found on you," Harry added as Voldemort got rid of any remaining hairs from Harry's hand with a wave of his wand. "a bit excessive but very impressive."
"Harry!" Dumbledore gasped out. "What...what..." Dumbledore trailed off when he saw two wands resting in Harry's right hand, one of which was the elder wand!
"Glad to know you can still remember my name," Harry smirked, Dumbledore blinked, looking as if he couldn't believe what was happening. "can I get you anything?" Harry offered. "A small drink or something to eat?"
"You...you're working with Voldemort?!" Dumbledore shouted out, he couldn't believe it! How?! How was Harry working with Voldemort?! Why was he working with Voldemort?! Voldemort had killed his parents for Merlin sakes! How on Earth did he manage to deceive Fawkes?! Fawkes should have told him if Harry had become lost to the darkness!
"Working for Voldemort?!" Harry laughed loudly as if Dumbledore had told him the most hilarious joke in the world. "Oh my...ha...that's a good one Dumbledore. I mean really? Me working with Voldemort?! Are you mad?! I would never work with the guy who killed my parents!"
"But...but what..." Dumbledore blurted out, was his mind deceiving him? Was this some side effect of the potion? He was sure he could see Voldemort and Apophis standing with Harry.
"Like I said, I'm not working with Voldemort." Harry smirked, he raised his left hand and clicked his fingers. A second later Apophis was kneeling down on one knee with his head bowed to Harry, and if that wasn't shocking enough then Voldemort was doing the same thing. Dumbledore couldn't believe it, this was Voldemort! He didn't bow to anyone! "I'm not working WITH them, they are working FOR me." Harry grinned.
"But...you...I...how?!" Dumbledore said, not even sure if he was still awake at this point.
"You look so adorable when you're confused." Harry laughed.
"Harry! I..."
"Alright calm your hairy tits Dumbledore," Harry interrupted as he kneeled down in front of Dumbledore and looked him in the eye. "I will tell you, I'm going to tell you everything."
