So Much for No Strings Attached

Chapter 53 Turncoats and Deceivers

 

They had broken his heart when Hadrian had found out the truth. Yet they still thought that they were in the right because they were the so called Light. Yet despite all that Hadrian still was absolutely devastated by what he had to do to the Granger girl. Tom wished there had been another choice but there was no ritual to resurrect him that could be done.

 

And whilst luckily Hadrian hadn’t known the Weasley girl enough to actually be betrayed by her. The Weasley bitch's crimes against Hadrian were the worst out of the lot of Dumbledore's fools. The girl had wanted to rape him and steal his free will from him. She wanted to take his children and twist them to her own purposes just as Dumbledore had done to Hadrian for thirteen years.

 

Tom wanted the three of them to suffer for both what they had done and what they planned to do to his son. Tom wanted them to know in the moments before they faced the Dementors for the last time that it was Lord Voldemort sentencing them to a fate worse than death for what they had done to his Heir. It was no less than they would have done to Hadrian.

 

However, Dumbledore was the one who had orchestrated the whole plan against him and Hadrian. The old fool was at the end of the day was the one who had kidnapped Hadrian from his father and killed his James destroying Tom's happiness. The Headmaster was the one who had made Hadrian’s first eleven years of his life a living hell by sentencing him to the Dursleys.

 

It was Dumbledore that the Dark Lord wanted to suffer more than anyone else for taking James and Hadrian from him! For depriving Tom of a body for almost fourteen years! From manipulating him into attempting to kill his own son! There wasn't a day that went by that he wasn't thankful that his magic recognised Hadrian as his son even if Tom himself did not.

 

‘Nothing will be able to absolve of them of their crimes to you,’ the Cursebreaker said apparently calmly.

 

‘However, I think you would be amenable for them serving a shorter sentence,’ Percy appealed. ‘In return for our testimonies. We all know that with Dumbledore’s popularity and cunningness that he will do everything in his power to escape justice.’

 

‘I have reviewed the case personally,’ Lawyer Justin said. ‘The case is airtight.’

 

‘Yet Dumbledore has always been very slippery,’ the young politician smiled a crocodile’s smile. ‘There is a reason that he managed to get away with his crimes for so long. And we have seen first-hand what his plans regarding Heir Slytherin are. Our testimonies would prove invaluable to make sure that Dumbledore gets the Kiss!’

 

Tom knew that the two of them were right even if he did not like the idea of mercy being shown to the Weasels. Dumbledore was the far bigger threat who needed to be removed if their plans were to advance. Dumbledore would be a hindrance even if his reputation was shot and he was removed from his positions of power. Too many people were devoted to him to let him remain free or even alive.
