Harry Potter: Blood of the Dragon

Chapter 288 - 288. Tom Marvolo Riddle

"AAAAA..."

Rodolphus screamed, cried in pain and asked for forgiveness. But Magnus had already left and told the goblin responsible to not disturb him until he had skinned Rodolphus completely at least once.

So the goblin let Rodolphus scream all he could, nothing would stop his torment. In fact, he had already started spewing some things about Voldemort and all of it was being recorded but Magnus had no wish to stop.

Ragnar though stayed in the room and saw him scream his lungs out, damaging his voice box and making it bleed too.

...

Magnus was meeting Duck and the rest with Martha.

"Boy, how have you been?" He asked Duck. The big dragon had grown bigger but was cute as always in front of Magnus.

He let Magnus scratch and pat his face, but then he noticed the many scars on him, "Wha... what happened?"

Magnus always forgets that Duck is not a mindless beast and could speak. He chuckled, "Nothing, just a small battle. To be honest, if I had you by my side it would have been much simpler. But, I can't afford to show you to the world yet. You are my ace card after all."

Hearing this, Duck puffed his chest out.

"Hisss..."

Just then, Cuddles(The basilisk) also came. She was complaining that she was also important. And as always, she wore her glasses. Magnus patted her nose, *BOOP* "Yes yes... you are also very important. Pebbles(Gringotts Dragon) is also very important. Where are Pebbles anyway?"

"She's near the seashore. She likes to stand there and feel the fresh air." Duck explained.

"Good, by the way, Grandma Martha, I will probably stay the night here. Ragnar too, we need to get a lot of information from the prisoner. One more thing, please come to the house during the Christmas holiday, I have planned a surprise for mum, but do not tell her anything." He told her. He had already started to plan for the eventual surprise.

"Absolutely, dear. But I shall go now and prepare dinner. My two lovely grandkids will be staying here, I must feed you till your stomachs bloat." She cheerfully hovered back.

Magnus sighed, knowing she was going to go totally overboard. He turned back to face Duck, "Well, it's just us now. So... let's play catch."

"YES!" Duck was always excited to play.

...

When evening came, Magnus took a small tray of snacks with some tea, a meat patty and a cake to the torture chamber. He told Ragnar to clean up the room.

"Magnus is bringing food, clean up," Ragnar ordered. The goblin poured a healing potion on Rodolphus' skin and used magic to tidy up the place.

When Magnus entered with the food tray, Rodolphus gulped in expectation. However, Magnus put the tray on the table Ragnar had placed and started eating from it.

"Rag, eat something, you must be tired of seeing him scream like this," Magnus called him.

This infuriated Rodolphus, as he thought it was for him. "ANIMALS! YOU TWO CRUEL BASTARDS!"

Ragnar chuckled, "Haha... Mag, are my ears ringing? Did I really hear a serial killer, a child murderer calling me cruel?"

Magnus chuckled, "I think you are, Rag. How can Rodolphus lie to himself? He's a pathetic lowlife incest born weakling. People like him can't afford to lie. Am I right, Rodolphus?"

Rodolphus was already broken by now. Although his skin would heal every time for the pain to be inflicted again, his insides were still burning. His throat was still bleeding and he was hungry. So he nodded.

"Then you better start talking. I want to know everything about Voldemort, from the day you met him to right now. And remember, I will be using Legilimecy on you, if you dared to lie, I will forcefully take the memories while destroying your mind." Magnus threatened him.

"Y-Yes... can I have food?" Rodolphus asked from the ground with his beady eyes. His face was already darkened from the mental pressure. But Magnus showed no mercy, "First tell me what I want, then take food."

Rodolphus took the deal, "I met Voldemor... Tom Marvolo Riddle in the first year in 1938. We soon became friends as his talents in magic were appreciated by the teachers, and I... heir of a pure and prestigious family knew the worth of talent.

"But soon, his talents proved to be much more than I could fathom, comprehend. And his words... his thoughts were truly awe-inspiring. He promised us and showed us a dream of a world where wizards rule and muggles bow. Where the purebloods are above all.

"From there, we became his staunch followers. But, only later when he ditched his name I found out that he was actually a half-blood, with a witch mother and a muggle father. But, by then I didn't care, as he was also the heir of Slytherin. And he was too strong to go against as it would spell doom.

"As time passed, we continued to plan and plot, increasing our influence. But, at that time he was not like right now. He was still human. But that changed when in the fourth year he murdered Myrtle Waren and mistakenly sent a piece of his soul in his diary. Only in the 6th year did he find out about Horcruxes from Slughorn.

"After that, I went on many attacks with him, he killed his own remaining family, making his second Horcrux by killing his old father."

Magnus, in shock, stood up, "He created more than one Horcrux?"

"Y...yes... he created many, but I do not know the exact number... the more Horcruxes he made, the less human and friendly he turned. I only know about the first three Horcruxes. One is a diary, the second is a ring and the third... I will only tell if you give me food." He demanded.

Magnus eyed him in anger, "Start skinning him again."

"NO... NO NO... I will tell... it's the Hufflepuff's Cup... Lord Voldemort put it in Bellatrix's vault in Gringotts." Rudolphus revealed.

Ragnar went up to him and punched his face, "Aren't you his best mate? Why would he put it in her vault?"

"BECAUSE SHE'S HIS WHORE..." Rodolphus screamed, red-eyed.

This was a strange turn of events. It was just a joke between Ragnar and Magnus before but it turned out to be real. Magnus asked him to elaborate.

"Bellatrix... she wasn't always this crazy... not as much, or else she wouldn't have completed school. After my marriage, which Voldemort himself proposed, he took her for the first night. He said he had no interest in love or feelings, all he wanted was to taste a woman's flesh at least once to understand the carnal desire.

"That night... he did something to her... maybe with Legilimency, and since then she has become his and only his, a TOY. Possibly he wanted to turn her into a spy against me, so I never betrayed him." He revealed everything.

Magnus felt slightly bad for his fate, not for his life. "And you still followed him?"

Rudolphus stared at Magnus as if he was the biggest fool, "Isn't he still the Heir of Slytherin?"

*PAT*

Ragnar facepalmed himself, "This guy is hopeless, his wife is getting nailed by his boss and he still thinks about loyalty and blood purity."

Magnus was disgusted, "Truly, you are a weak man. Tell me, if you're okay with Voldemort being half-blood, why do you have a problem with me?"

"BECAUSE YOU'RE A MUGGLE-BORN! You steal our magic. And LORD VOLDEMORT WILL KILL YOU ONE DAY!" he raged once again.

~*Sigh* It seems Voldemort is truly a master of brainwashing.~

Magnus decided it was enough for today. He and Ragnar started to leave for dinner. "MY FOOD!" Rodolphus screamed.

Magnus picked one slice of bread and threw it to him. Then he turned to the Goblin, "Do not let him sleep, continue the earlier torture."

"NOOOOooooo..."

...

Outside, Ragnar sighed, "What is a Horcrux, Mag? I guessed from what he said that it's probably related to some sort of immortality?"

"Correct, and that's very bad, Rag. Before we don't destroy all the Horcruxes, we can never truly kill him. Now I understand why he always seemed so cocky about being unkillable. *Sigh* We have too much work now. But... he is weakened and I shall make sure he remains like this." Magnus decided.

After this torture session, they went to Martha to get their stomachs full. Martha had made a lot of dishes and all of them were juicy and buttery. Magnus, while eating, secretly wondered if heart disease and diabetes were curable by magic.
