Potter's Grimoire

Chapter 11 : End of Dursleys

Reporter- thankyou so much for your time. Have a great year

This was the very first interview of Lord Potter-Black and it definitely gave us some answers. After this he was spotted talking to heiress Daphne Greengrass. They both were smiling. The event was easily the biggest event of the century. I was lucky to be in attendance

The article was mostly planned but the addition of Daphne was a shock. Harry ensured that the full story without any lies was printed so he didn't review this article beforehand. He knew Daphne would receive a lot of backlash due to this. So he hurriedly wrote a letter to the Greengrass family apologising for the inconvenience.

Lord, Lady and Heiress Greengrass of the most noble and ancient house of Greengrass

I am sorry for the inconvenience caused by today's article in the daily prophet. It wasn't my intention. I am sorry if your reputation was tarnished because of my carelessness. I had no idea we were seen together. I had a great time with you Daphne and please forgive me for this situation

Hadrian
Lord of the most ancient and most noble of Potter and Black

Greengrass manor :-

Cyrus Greengrass was not happy seeing his eldest daughter's name in the newspaper. He was pleased to read the letter. Even though the boy wasn't at fault, the sincere apology warmed his heart. He showed the letter to his wife Elizabeth or Liza in short and daughters Daphne and Astoria. While Liza was pleased, the girls were confused.

Daphne - why is he apologising dad. Is he not happy to be seen with me?

Cyrus - it's not about that Daphne. Lord Potter-Black isn't aware of your situation. You might be betrothed to someone or in a relationship for all he knew. The article could've affected your relations immensely

Liza - yeah he was thoughtful while writing this as to not offend any of us

Daphne - ohh

Astoria - what did you talk to him about (excitedly)

Daphne - oh it was nothing

She was blushing a little

Liza - but the article says you both were smiling

Daphne - mom it was nothing, let me go and get ready

(OK IK THIS WASN'T NECESSARY BUT IT SOUNDED CUTE. DAPHNE WILL BE THE ICE PRINCESS BUT SHE HAS HER GUARD DOWN IN FRONT OF FAMILY. ASTORIA IS TWO YEARS YOUNGER)

The year passed in a blur with Harry and Daphne exchanging letters and they could now call each other friends. With a lot of pleading Astoria was also able to send Harry a letter who was pleased to answer her questions. The boy had nicknames for both the sisters - Daph and Tori. This pleased and irked them at the same time. Astoria wasn't over her crush but it was controlled.

23 June 1991

Hadrian was going to the dungeons humming a melody. He had abandoned his emotionless pureblood mask and was smirking fully. He went towards the small cages and looked at the three tangled bodies. Yes Hadrian had fulfilled his promise of going back to the Dursleys to get revenge. The three bodies were none other than his uncle Vernon, aunt Petunia and his uncle's sister Marge. The first thing Sirius did after knowing his past was to get these 3 in the prisons of Peverell manor. They were kept barely alive with minimum food and facilities, it looked like the elves were also taking revenge on behalf of their master. This was the first time in over a year that anyone visited them.

Vernon - Wh..who are you boy??? Release us this instant

Harry - why should I dear uncle

Petunia - h...harry?

Harry - I thought my name was freak

Marge - yes it is, you will always be a freak

Harry - this isn't helping you. Crucio

All 3 of them suffered the cruciatus curse for a minute and were whimpering uncontrollably.

Petunia - please leave us

Harry - how the tables have turned now. Do you remember me begging you to leave me alone. But what did you do? Looked away while your husband was killing me. You also made your own son a monster. Speaking of Dudley, do you know it's his birthday today. Your precious diddykins would've turned 11 if you have not killed him

Petunia - I...I di...didn't kill him

Harry - you and your husband are the reason little dudley is dead.

Saying this he left the dungeons. He hadn't really killed dudley because he was just a child. Rather he was sent off to military school where he grew up to be a responsible and strong adult. These 3 will suffer knowing their son/nephew died and live in the prison till their last breaths.
