Chapter 38: strikes back
Henry's life in Hogwarts became more and more miserable as the Slytherin continued to spread rumours. And Henry had enough, so he hanged the ones who are spreading the rumours upside down in astronomy tower on day in their underwear.
Henry also understood one thing, that is he needs power and influence to fight against these guys. Also he needs wealth and reputation to gain a foothold. Without them, these guys can do anything they want while Henry will be bothered.
Henry isn't bothered by these guys but his life in Hogwarts is a disaster. Even Anthony who is grateful to him started to alienate himself and then distanced himself completely from Henry due to these rumours. They started to say he is secretly practicing dark magic and even used spells on Cassandra to control her, that's why she is changed so much.
And his room mates, just yesterday asked the head of the house Flitwick to change their rooms. Flitwick expression isn't good looking at all this and he can't take action. Dumbledore prohibited him. Henry looked at all this and became disappointed again.
He is even planning to leave Hogwarts and transfer to another school. But he knows one thing, with him being an obscurus, they will hesitate to accept him in any other school, and coupled with the false rumoursnof these Slytherin, it made almost impossible for him join another school.
Henry sighed, Dumbledore wants to win him over no matter what. But he won't let that old man deceive him again. Even if it means to go against him, Henry will do it. Cassandra tried to pester him again which made this situation worse. If he shook her away then there will be another rumour. If he don't, then it get's worse.
He explained this clearly to Cassandra and she tried to scold the Slytherin students, this made the situation much worse. In one word his life in Hogwarts is a disaster. Henry slumped his shoulders while Cassandra is gloomy seeing him like this.
She angrily wrote to her father not to mess with Henry or else be prepared to never talk to her in her life. Although the rumours subsided but the damage is already done. Ravenclaw isolated already and Henry, he gritted his teeth and looked at Dumbledore who just gazed at him calmly.
Anger boiled within him as he gazed at Cassandra and then at Dumbledore. Since you want to mess with me then don't blame me. The next day the philosopher's stone is missing and Dumbledore panicked. Meanwhile Henry just ate his breakfast in a normal mood unlike his gloomy face.
Dumbledore called Henry and asked," Mr Wells I know I go too far this time. But that stone is important at this moment. I apologise for my behaviour and ask the professors to stop all this can you give it back? ", Henry looked at him and asked," what are you talking about professor? ".
Henry put on a confused look while Dumbledore sighed and asked," I really regret doing all that Mr Wells. Please return the stone. I swear I won't interfere with you again. The philosopher's stone belongs to my friend Nicholas flamel. Please return it ".
Henry then asked back," I don't know what are you talking about professor? ", Dumbledore sighed and said," I sincerely apologise for my schemes against you and I'll compensate you for this. Please return the stone Mr Wells. It belonged to my friend and I need to return that ".
Henry then asked," what about the compensation you said professor? ", Dumbledore then said," what do you need Mr wells ? ", Henry said," you remember the dark wizard injected so much magical creatures blood into me right?".
Dumbledore nodded with a frown while Henry continued," I need to make a potion. Something that needs few drops of phoenix blood along with few other rare bloodlines. I know this may be cruel to ask. But for me to live longer, I need the blood of phoenix, Thunderbird and qilin. Give that to me and I'll tell you a secret. Something you're searching for all this time. The secret of immortality of the dark lord. And I know some of them ".
Dumbledore expression turned serious as he said," how can I be certain of this? How can I trust you? ", Henry smirked and said," what if I can bring the ones I know to you? We have a deal ", Dumbledore looked at him seriously and said," we'll sign an agreement ".
Henry smirked and accepted it. He already collected the diadem, the cup from gringotts using imperio on a goblin and the locket from black house along with the gaunt ring. He just used kamar-taj portal to open to the location and got them all. As for the diary, it'll arrived anyway next year.
Dumbledore's expression isn't good. He looked at Henry and said," how did you know all this? ", Henry just smiled and said," my eyes can see what others can't? ", the next day Dumbledore brought three coloured liquids along with some other bloodlines Henry asked.
Henry also brought back the horcruxes and gave them to Dumbledore before saying," that's the part of our deal completed. Now I'll just mind my own business professor. Don't disturb me ".
