Chapter 30:


Pulling the blanket aside, Harry gazed lovingly upon his son’s face for the first time since giving birth to him. Looking down at Alexander, he saw enormous green eyes staring back up at him that were a much lighter shade than his own dark emerald green orbs. He had inherited Harry’s mop of black unruly hair with the exception of one large golden blond streak running through it. He’s just perfect, Harry thought and leaned his head down to kiss Alexander on the nose, while carefully examining his little body as best he could for any signs of abuse. Alexander giggled and cooed back at him, trying to grab Harry’s face with his small hands.

“Hello Alexander, my beautiful baby boy. I am your Daddy and I love you so very much.” Harry whispered softly, with tears flowing down his cheeks, while gently rocking him in his arms and holding him close.

Oh Merlin, I have been waiting for this moment for so long, Harry thought. There is no way in hell that I am handing my precious little boy back over to that lunatic. I have Alexander now and I am not letting him go. We are going to get out of here and go back home to be with Lucius, Lucien and Belinda where we belong. Then being sure to speak quietly so Chamber’s wouldn‘t hear, Harry whispered, “Alexander, your father, brother and sister are waiting to meet you my little one. They also love you so very much and can’t wait to see you.”

“Enjoy what time you have left with him because it’s almost up.” Chamber’s voice coldly reminded Harry while standing guard watching his every move.

Harry’s head shot up and he glared back at Chamber’s saying, “I’ve only just met him and you’re ready to take him away from me so soon. What kind of cold hearted bastard are you?”

“One that will enjoy seeing you begging for my mercy on the behalf of your filthy little brat. Now hurry up because it’s time for Mimsy to take him away. You’ve been with him long enough, so you had better say goodbye.” Chambers ordered then turned to talk quietly with his house elf.

While Chamber’s back was turned, Harry held Alexander firmly in his arms and slowly began to back up away from Chambers and Mimsy. He glanced over to the pile of clothes and saw his cloak was still untouched and right where he had dropped it. With a determined look on his face, Harry silently cast the spell “Accio Harry’s wand!” and it came to him unseen by his two captors.

Before he left Malfoy Manor, Harry had cast a Bedazzling Hex on his wand so that he could conceal it in his robes. Glancing down at Alexander, he saw his baby had fallen asleep and quickly placed a Disillusionment Charm on him as well as numerous shield and protection charms. Making sure he had a tight hold on his son with one arm, Harry used a form of sticking charm on the bed sheet he had a securely wrapped around his body so it wouldn’t fall off. He wasn’t sure what kind of magic he could use against the house elf and really didn’t want to harm him but would if he stood in his way.

“Stupefy!” Harry silently cried and a jet of red light flashed from his wand hitting Chamber’s squarely in the back and sending him toppling to the floor with a thud. Then he used the spell “Obscuro!” to cause a blindfold to appear over Chamber’s eyes and “Incarcerous!” to tie him up with thick ropes.

“Expecto Patronum!” Harry summoned his Stag Patronus and sent it off to Malfoy Manor with a message of help and directions on how to find him. Then focusing his attention on protecting himself and Alexander, Harry recalled all his defensive training to mind and prepared himself for Chamber’s retaliation.

Mimsy saw what was happening and went to help his Master. He didn’t want to harm the young man or the baby but his loyalty was to Chamber’s. He quickly cast the “Ennervate” counter curse and “Diffindo” to sever his bindings then Mimsy found himself being roughly pushed aside.

Jonathan jumped up, his face was white and a look of pure fury was etched on it. Advancing towards his prey, he pulled his wand from his robes and pointing it at Harry yelled “Crucio!”

Harry jumped out of the way and easily countered with “Protego!” and at the same time yelled “Impedimenta!”. His jinx hit Chamber’s squarely in the chest, causing him to be lifted off his feet and then slammed into the opposite wall, where he slid down to the floor dazed.

Deciding he would fight with no holds bar, Harry yelled “Levicorpus” and Jonathan found himself hanging upside down in the air by one ankle.

“Help me you damn elf!” Chamber’s cursed at Mimsy. “Don’t just stand there gawking like a fool, do something!”

“Scourgify” Harry yelled and Chamber’s found his mouth being cleaned out by soap.

Mimsy was at wits end, he wanted to help his Master but at the same time hoped that the Potter boy would win. His Master had never been a kind man and was always cruel to him. Having no other choice, Mimsy called out “Finite!” and issued a cushioning charm to stop Chamber’s from injuring himself in the fall.

Standing up and brushing himself off, Chamber’s cautiously approached Harry with his wand at the ready saying, “I’ll kill your blasted child for this you little fool and there is nothing you can to do stop me. I’ll enjoy seeing you crying and begging for his life. When I am done, I’ll be sure to send what’s left of him off to your darling husband with my best regards. That is, if there are any remains left for him to bury.” Looking around the room, he continued, “What have you done with him? I’ll eventually find him, or Mimsy will, there is no hiding that creature from both of us for ever.”

Snarling Harry cried out, “Furnuncular!” and was pleased to see painful looking red oozing boils popping up and covering his nemesis’ entire face.

Yelping in pain, Chamber’s screamed, “How dare you!.... Mimsy help me!... Oh, you’ll pay dearly for this Harry.....”

Mimsy healed his Master’s face and then found himself being viciously kicked across the room where he crashed into the glass door leading to the balcony and lay still.

Harry yelled in anger, “Your a monster!.... How could you do that to your own House Elf?.... He was only trying to help you and you might have killed him.”

“He’s fine!.... Believe me, I’ve done much worse to him over the years and he’s used to it. As a matter of fact, Mimsy likes the way I treat him..... It keeps him loyal..... In a few minutes, he’ll heal himself and then help me deal with you. After that, I’ll dispose of your little brat for good.” Jonathan was trying to provoke Harry into letting his guard down.

“I’ll kill you before I let you harm my baby!” promised Harry while dodging a nasty hex Chamber’s sent his way.

The two Wizards began dueling, both sending violent hexes back and forth at each other. To anyone watching, it might have looked like they were dancing gracefully around the room together. When in fact, the two of them were fighting each other for their own personal and desperate reasons. Harry wanted to disarm and immobilize Chamber’s until help arrived but Jonathan was dueling to cause bodily harm and death.

Harry was getting tired and hoped that Lucius would arrive soon. His strength was ebbing from the numerous curses he was issuing causing him to have difficulty in keeping Alexander’s protective shields up.

Seeing an opportunity, Harry yelled, “Flipendo!” and actually laughed when he saw Chamber’s flip over backwards and land on his butt. He then also used the Confundus Charm to try and slow his opponent down.

Harry was so focused on his dueling and keeping Alexander from being harmed, that he didn’t notice Mimsy had woken up until it was too late. Chamber’s faithful little elf sent a stunning hex from behind Harry knocking him to the floor. When Harry realized what was happening, he quickly used a hovering spell on Alexander and levitated him over to a safe area of the room being sure the disillusionment and protective charms remained in effect.

Cursing himself for his own stupidity, Harry felt a rough kick in his stomach causing him to roll over on his back. He found himself looking up into the leering face of Chamber’s with a wand pointed right at him.

Holding out his hand, Jonathan ordered him. “Give me your wand now Harry and I just might be kind enough to spare you but will mercifully kill your baby. Otherwise, be prepared for him to suffer a rather horrible and painful death.”

“Oh, no, I don’t think so Chamber’s.” An ice cold voice resonated in the room causing a chill to run up Jonathan’s spine.

Hearing his husband’s familiar voice, Harry nearly screamed out loud with joy. Pushing himself up, he saw Lucius standing right behind Chamber’s holding his wand to the back of his neck. Sighing in relief, when he also saw that Severus and Dobby had come along with him as a back up guard. Severus and Dobby had both stepped into the room and took protective positions.

“Harry, get up and go to Alexander, I’ll deal with this abomination myself.” Holding out his hand for Harry to grab hold of, Lucius lifted his slighter husband off the floor.

Harry ran over to where he had hidden Alexander and removed the Disillusionment Charm. Picking his baby up and holding him protectively in his arms, he noticed that little Alexander was still peacefully sleeping unaware of all the commotion that was taken place around him.

“Harry take Alexander and go with Dobby, he will take you back to Malfoy Manor and I will join you there later.” Lucius ordered a distraught Harry. “The Weasley family and Ms. Granger are waiting for you and will protect you and our children until I return.”

“No! I won’t leave you Lucius.” Harry cried shaking his head. “Dobby can take Alexander back home for me but I am not leaving here without you beside me.”

“Potter now is really not the time for heroics.” Severus affectionately cajoled Harry.

“Severus!.... Dobby!.... It’s really good to see you both here.” Harry smiled warmly at his Mentor and little friend.

“Master Harry! Dobby also come! Oh, Master Harry, you and baby Alexander Potter-Malfoy are both safe now. Dobby begged Master Malfoy to let Dobby come with him so Dobby could offer his assistance to help rescue you.” The little elf was so happy to see Harry that he was wiping his eyes and blowing his nose with a large handkerchief.

“How did you find us?.... I was afraid you’d never show up until it was too late.... Did my Stag Patronus lead you to us?...... Oh, Merlin, I am so glad to see you.”

“No, Harry, we had a little help from another source but your Patronus did help us get here faster.” Lucius told him.

“Oh, this is just lovely!..... The Potter-Malfoy family reunion..... How adorable..... Well, I am so sorry to have to be the one to tell you that it must come to an end..... Mimsy!...... NOW!”
