Harry Potter and Voldemort's Champion.

Chapter 12. Epilogue.

I don't own the Harry Potter verse. Just playing.

Thank you for all your kind reviews.

05/03/18 A big thank you to Alix33 for her corrections and delightful comments. Jack is still waiting for little Miss Doc Martens to visit Dumbledore.

Epilogue and things that go bang in the night.

Even with Dumbledore gone, Severus Snape couldn't change his bullying past no matter how hard he tried. He had just been too good at being bad and had done too much damage. So he escaped from Hogwarts and started his own Potion Brewing Company. In his spare time he went to comfort his only old friend, Narcissa, over the loss of her husband as the captured Death Eater told her of his terrible death inflicted by the dark lord. In public, Narcissa played the grieving widow, but in private she was celebrating the monster's painful death.

Sharing their loneliness, Severus and Narcissa got closer and one day Narcissa happened to discover a certain dead dark lord's wand in the pocket of Severus' robes. She forced the truth out of the only surviving freed ex-Death Eater and laughed herself silly after she found out what the secret dark lord Severus had done to those stupid evil scumbags who masqueraded as Death Eaters, and particularly her nasty evil bigoted husband.

Narcissa had playfully called her secret dark lord Severus, the Big Bad Bat. He even showed her his two Order of Merlin medals and she loved it that he got them for Skullduggery and forgiveness.

Then the BBB Severus discovered that Narcissa had a dark secret. A secret she would never share with her former bigoted husband. But it was something she had passed onto her son. Nymphadora Tonks was not the only Metamorphmagus in the Black family. Narcissa was a natural brunette twin of her older sister Bellatrix but after hearing all the tales of how Bella had been so very wicked, Narcissa transformer her hair to platinum blonde so she wouldn't be mistaken for Bella. Unfortunately that brought her to the attention of another certain platinum blonde bigot. Now free of that bigot, Narcissa could express herself but unfortunately she couldn't return to her natural brunette as would freak everyone out as she still was Bellatrix's twin. So she decided to explore being a redhead, and transformed herself into her version of the dark lord, a very attractive dark lady in tight black leather, bright emerald green eyes, rich deep fiery red hair, and a fiery wicked attitude to match.

She didn't need any chains or whips as she could use the dark lord's wand and do the dark lord's voice too!

"Crucio!"

That certainly spiced up their love life, and who would have imaged that Severus was such a screamer.

- Harry Potter and Voldemort's Champion. -

With permission from the Minister, Rita Skeeter's tell-all book; The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore, was published and made for some very interesting reading. Narcissa was shocked to read about Dumbledore's former lover but it gave her a wicked idea.

A very wicked idea indeed.

The next Halloween, the secret dark lord and his dark lady paid a visit at midnight to the former illustrious Leader of the Light in his private suite in the Janus Thickey Ward for irrevocable spell damage at St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries. Severus dressed up as the Big Bad Bat with his black hood, red eyes and Voldemort's wand, while Narcissa transformed herself into a young youthful handsome blond Gellert Grindelwald.

It was Narcissa who insisted to have the old goat chained spread-eagle to his four poster bed and checked for any hidden wands and Portkeys, and put up silencing wards to make sure they weren't disturbed. They didn't want any little surprises.

Narcissa slapped the old goat across the face to wake him. He shakes his head and tries to look around the room and sees a dark cloaked figure with glowing red eyes holding a familiar wand in his crossed arms.

"It was foolish to come here tonight, Tom," said Dumbledore calmly. "The Aurors are on their way"

"No they're not, Alby. You're such a lying manipulator, still avoiding the truth."

Dumbledore turned his head to the direction the voice came from. "Gigi?"

"Alby!" Narcissa purred in her smooth Gellert voice. "Remember when you used to chain me up?"

"Not now, Gigi, not in front of strangers."

"Oh, Tom is not a stranger, Alby." Narcissa purred with a sad long face. "In fact he is my new very best friend. You left me all alone in that terrible cold dark place, but Tom came and rescued me."

"It was for the Greater Good, Gigi. Sacrifices had to be made." Dumbledore said as he started to struggle with his chains.

"Certainly not my Greater Good, and I noticed that you did sacrifice so many others, so many but not yourself, Alby."

"But Gigi, I had to live; only I could have guided the Greater Good. They didn't understand, they were not fit for my Greater Good, they had to go. That was why I raised up Tom to hate everyone and everything. He was very effective in clearing away the riffraff and scum." Dumbledore said without a hint of remorse of all the murders he had arranged.

"Bella was my lover, Dumbledore!" Severus spoke for the first time in his high dark lord voice with such disgust as he knew what Bella and the dark lord got up to. "And you made sure she rotted away in that terrible place."

"You could never understand love, Tom, and you didn't have friends, not real true friends. I made sure of that." Dumbledore replied and Severus realised that the headmaster's support for the bullying and bigotry in the castle had ensured that he too lost the only true friend he had.

"Sadly, yes, while I was at Hogwarts you taught me to hate for your Greater Good." Severus spat the words Greater Good as he played his part. "But after we left the castle and got away from you, a few became my friends and Bella..." Leaving the rest unsaid.

"Oh." Dumbledore stalled while he tried to plan and noticed how youthful Gellert looked. "Well you do look amazing, Gigi." Not missing a beat or a hint of remorse.

"Yes, yes I do." Narcissa purred as she preened her hair and clothes. While Severus walked over to stand next to her with his arm over her shoulders. "Tom knows a brilliant Potions Master who had access to this amazing stone. I feel like a new man."

"Severus finally got the Philosopher's Stone to work and brew the Elixir of Life?" Dumbledore asked desperately, he and Severus had spent years trying to perfect that potion as the notes Dumbledore had borrowed from the Flamels were incomplete.

"Works like a charm, Alby." Narcissa purred as she knew that Severus had discovered that the stone was a fake. The Flamels had never trusted the old manipulator with their precious Philosopher's Stone.

"Quick, Gigi, you must give me some Elixir of Life, and then we can rule this world together for the Greater Good." Dumbledore demanded earnestly, his mind already planning their come back and the steps they needed to take for total world domination.

"We?" Narcissa purred. "There is no we or us, Alby. There is only Tom and me. He remembered me. He came to me. He saved me!"

"But. But!" Dumbledore started.

"But as soon as I had completed my plans, Gigi, I was coming for you. It was the boy! He wouldn't die! Fourteen years I have been trying to arrange an accident for him and end those idiot Potters and then the Cloak of Invisibility, the second Deathly Hallow, Gigi, would be finally mine." Dumbledore said triumphantly. "I tried everything! I left the boy on a doorstep that freezing night with a Notice-Me-Not charm and that oaf Dursley didn't kill him when he trod on him. That idiot Tom and his pansy Death Eaters failed so many times as did the Dursleys, Malfoys, that stupid moRon, the troll, the Basilisk, the pathetic werewolf, the idiot grim, the Ministry and all those damn Dementors. I even arranged for the biggest, nastiest dragon. I tried absolutely everything but nothing worked!"

"So the boy has proved to be far more than your equal?" Sneered Severus pleased that Lily's son was so resilient.

"What?" Dumbledore asked confused.

"It is too late, Alby. Tom is a far greater wizard than you could ever be, and together, we have seen the light!." Narcissa purred as she kissed Severus passionately.

"NOOOOOOO, NOT MY GIGI! YOU HALF-BLOOD BITCH!" Dumbledore screamed and then looked on in shock as he tried to grab his chest and his eyes glazed over as he collapsed unresponsive.

"I think you just broke him."

"Pity, I had so much more material." Narcissa cursed and then patted the old fool's drooling face. "Oh well, see you next Halloween, Alby."

"Why wait until then?" Severus asked.

"Yeah, you are right. We will pay the old manipulative fool another visit as soon as he has recovered."

While the dark lord Crucioed the former headmaster for old times' sake and left arm in arm with a young Gellert Grindelwald, whistling 'We're Off to See The Wizard' and dancing a jolly little jig.

Jack McFartland, the St Mungo's squib orderly, arrived the next morning with Kildare, a doctor-medic-house-elf carrying the former headmaster's breakfast tray. Jack unlocked the reinforced security door to Dumbledore's room and minced through leaving Kildare to struggle with the heavy door and not spill the breakfast tray.

Jack found Dumbledore drooling and still chained to the bedposts.

"Oh, dear, oh dear, oh dear, you have been a very naughty boy." Jack said in a high gay condescending disapproving voice shaking his head. "You know the rules, dearie, no visitors after curfew. So who was it this time? Lockhart or Molly?"

Jack snapped his fingers and pointed for Kildare to released the chains with a snap of her fingers as the former headmaster curled up into the foetal position.

Jack continued his inspection. "No, these chains are new. It wasn't Lord Black again? He was really upset when he worked out that it was you who sent him to Azkaban for thirteen years so you could have total control over his godson and forced him to suffer and be abused in a terrible loveless childhood."

Jack dropped the new chains on the floor and snapped his fingers at Kildare who snapped her fingers to hang the new chains in the wardrobe with all the other ones, while still holding the breakfast tray.

There was no response from the former headmaster as he started to shake while Jack looked closer at his face and neck. "Nope, He hasn't ripped out your throat and your nose is not broken so it wasn't Hermione."

Jack snapped his fingers and pointed, and Kildare cleaned up the drool on the former headmaster's beard with a snap of her fingers.

"It wasn't Madam Longbottom? Again?" Jack asked as the former headmaster started to shake violently. "Wow, I know she is one scary witch. She was absolutely furious when she discovered that it was your manipulations that had trapped her son and daughter-in-law in this very ward. Lucky for you Frank and Alice made a complete recovery or you would have been so dead."

Jack checked the former headmaster's hands. "Nope, she hasn't ripped out your fingernails. It must be someone new."

But the former headmaster continued to shake violently. "You are still shaking? That's a telltale sign of the Cruciatus Curse. Don't tell me the dark lord paid you a visit? Wow, just wait until I tell everyone."

Jack snapped his fingers and pointed impatiently, getting annoyed that he would have to do everything, and Kildare snapped her fingers to clean up the mess on the bed, changed the sheets and washed and bathed the former headmaster, burned his soiled clothes and dress him in clean clothes. Then placed the breakfast tray on the bedside table.

Jack continued. "You know, for a former leader of the light, you certainly have a lot of very scary associates. All of your great scheming and manipulations have done no one any good and everyone a lot of harm. I have wondered why my friend, Harry Potter, hasn't visited you but I heard tell that he said that you weren't worth it as he worked it out that you had set up his parents to be murdered."

"I am afraid that they were necessary sacrifices for the Greater Good." Dumbledore mumbled.

"You know they stripped that Order of Merlin from you." Jack stirred the pot as the old fool hated to be reminded of losing his famous Order of Merlin.

"Bah! Humbug!"

"And they gave The-Wizard-Who-Conquered, two Order of Merlin medals. One for terminating Voldemort and one for destroying the darkest dark lord Dumbledore." Jack cheerfully added as he watched the old fool flinched. "Even Hermione, James and Lily got one each."

Jack turned to go and leave Kildare to feed the old fool and said cheerfully. "Everyone is waiting for the witch with the Doc Marten ankle length shoes to pop in and pay you another visit."

"Nooooooo! Not her!" The former headmaster screamed and tried to move to protect his nether region upsetting the breakfast tray all over Kildare. She snapped her fingers to clean the food off her clothes and repeated the clearing of the bed and the headmaster, changed the clothes and sheets while she banished the spoilt food away.

Jack smiled. He saw his job was not so much as to take care of the manipulative old fool, but to ensure he lived long enough so all his many very scary associates could have an abundant opportunity to express their disappointment in him. Then he had a brilliant beyond brilliant idea. He decided to get a visitors book, he had seen some nice black leather visitor books in a variety store on Vauxhall Road, London. He was sure the headmaster's nocturnal visitors would love to make a note of the purpose of their visit and what the manipulative old fool has done to them. While he would love to get some cool autographs of famous associates of the old fool. After all the headmaster knew everyone.

As Jack turned to leave, Dumbledore made a sudden move to grabbed his arm and held it tight with a strong grip that surprised Jack.

"Ouch! What have we said about touchies!"

"I must see, the boy!" Dumbledore spoke in a harsh desperate whisper with wild eyes.

"The boy?" Jack questioned.

"Yes, Potter!"

"Potter?" Jack questioned, wondering what Harry had done now.

"Yes, Harry Potter, you damn fool!"

"Now, now Mr Dumbledore, what have you been told about swearing? That's one Galleon for the Naughty Language jar."

"Damn you and your damn jar!"

"Now, now, Mr Dumbledore, the doctor ordered you to be calm." Jack said enjoying teasing the former headmaster who had refused to let him go to Hogwarts with his big brother. "If you don't calm yourself I shall have to get the heavy restraints again."

Jack snapped his fingers and Kildare went to open the wardrobe.

"No, no, I will be good."

"That's better."

The headmaster thought for a moment of who could bring the boy to him. "I need to see, Severus Snape!"

"Sorry, you know Mr Snape is on your naughty list."

"Alastor Moody?"

"Sorry, he put himself on your naughty list so you couldn't call him again."

"Amelia Bones?"

"Too busy."

"Augusta Longbottom?"

"Hates you! Don't even go there." Jack said in a gay high falsetto voice.

"Minerva McGonagall?"

"Put herself on the Naughty list as did the rest of the staff of Hogwarts."

"Even Hagrid?"

"Hagrid was the first to add his name to the naughty list. You broke his heart!" Jack said with a sad smiled. "The only ones who would want to talk to you, would also want to cause you pain."

"Oh? But I must see, Harry. I have vital information." Dumbledore spoke in a harsh desperate whisper with wild eyes. "Voldemort is back and he has seduced er, teamed up with Gellert Grindelwald!"

"O-Kay!" Jack said slowly as he tried to back away but the ancient headmaster's grip was too strong.

"They are going to take over the world without me. Without me! How could Gigi do that to me? I loved him! Its all that damn boy's fault. Er. Oh damn, you are still here. Obliviate!" The old fool screamed and pointed his finger at Jack who blinked in surprise. But without a wand and with his magic suppressant cuffs, the wandless magic fizzled to nothing.

Dumbledore pointed his finger again. "Imperio! Bring me Harry Potter! Only Harry can stop them! He needs to, er, sacrifice, to save me, er, everyone!"

"He already did!" Jack said shaking off the attempted Unforgivable curse. "And his girlfriend, Hermione, scares me more than you, the dark lord and Grindelwald combined."

"Nooooooo, the boy has gone dark without my guidance!" The master manipulator cried.

"No, compared to you, he is as light as a brand new day. No Harry Potter is brighter than the noonday sun." Jack said as he snapped his fingers and pointed.

Kildare smiled as she snapped her fingers and a used chamber pot flew up and whacked the manipulative old fool in the head leaving him stunned and he released Jack's arm. She snapped her fingers again and a phial the Draught of Living Death floated over and carefully tipped over to give the old fool three drops, and he stopped shaking while his body started to relax and heal.

Jack rubbed his bruised arm and said. "I hope your next visitors are the Ghosts of Xmas Past, Present, and as Yet to Come. Maybe then you might see the evil er, damage, no. Evil is the only word that can describe all the damage that you have done!"

Jack turned and left the manipulative old fool in a huff with his nose high as he minced away leaving the old fool in the gentle care of Kildare.

Unfortunately as Jack's nose was high in the air, he didn't notice the puddle on the floor in front of the security door. He slipped as he tried to open the heavy door and whacked his head, broke his nose and slipped unconscious to the floor.

Kildare smiled as she snapped her fingers and floated the unconscious orderly over to the bed and with a second snap, he was snuggled into the arms of the manipulative old fool. She smirked as she noticed how bent and crooked their noses were. She turned and danced a little soft shoe as she left, locked the soundproof door and threw away the key. She had a very good day.

Madam Bones retired from the Ministry after a very long and successful career. She was the Minister of Magic for twenty years and led the Magical World into a bright future, free of dark lords and Dumbledore's manipulations and schemes. So much had changed that Hermione Potter was the next Minister of Magic while Harry Potter was the Chief Warlock and Headmaster of Hogwarts. Their long time best friend, Neville Longbottom was the Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards while his wife, Luna, was head of the Department of Magical Relations, that replaced the former Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. Unfortunately Ronald got himself killed in a car accident. He had a head on with a semi-trailer. Sadly he had always said that the road rules were for Muggles and he was only going one way. Fortunately Lavender had written a best-selling book based on her successful makeover of Ronald and had a second best-seller with her book on the makeover of her next target, Seamus Finnigan.

Madam Bones was happy to leave public life knowing the Magical World was in good caring hands, and to enjoy her many grandnieces and grandnephews. But she did take the memories that Harry Potter had given her on the Halloween night when the hidden dark wizard Albus Dumbledore was exposed and disposed of. She would gather her old friends together to join her and relive the moment that changed everything, to taste the drama, to re-watch the old fool go cartwheeling, to re-hear the thud as all of Dumbledore's bones were broken, and most of all, to re-feel the all powerful magic Harry had put into the hex that hissed and crackled, and saved them from a terrible Greater Good. It still made them go weak at the knees.
