“Indeed I am. That must be why he did not even spare you a second glance at the Yule ball. That must also be why he has been subtly making enquiries into blocking your participation in the Under 17 duelling tournament taking place next year.” He said, and I gripped my wand rightly but cleared my mind to prevent any of my rage from showing on my face.
“A blank face tells as many stories as an expressive one, Harry Potter” he chided.
“What do you want?” I’d had enough of this.
“What I want is nothing much. We can work together. I would have my revenge on Albus Dumbledore, and you will help me” He said.
“Not interested” I replied. Dumbledore wasn’t an ally of mine, and he was going to be a problem sooner or later, but I had time before I had to confront that. No need to hurry myself to my death.
“Come now, Harry Potter. I am the Head Unspeakable. I can make your life very easy, or very difficult. Help me and I will help you.”
“What would working together with you entail?” I asked.
“I am working on a means to destroy Albus. I just need someone to move it into position when the time comes. It will not be a risk-free mission, but I am certain he would not dare kill you.” I agreed. But that still wasn’t enough.
“I won’t move against Dumbledore while Voldemort remains a threat” I said. He nodded.
“I would never rob Magical Britain of her greatest protector while she lies in danger. But the second you fulfill the prophecy?” He asked.
“Not for free either. If you want my help, you will pay for it”
“I have gold aplenty, worry not”
“Gold? What use have I for mere gold. As you said, you are the Head Unspeakable”
