Chapter 5 - Inheritance
Chapter 4
Harry tumbled out of the fireplace into what he assumed was the receiving room of Malfoy Mansion and before he could even blink a ‘pop’ beside him signified an elf appearing.
“You wouldn’t happen to be Bobbin by any chance?”
“Yes, sir. I is Bobbin. How can I be servicing you today?”
“Em, I must speak immediately with the Master of the House?” Harry managed to get out and within a second the little elf had popped away to, he assumed, wherever Lucius Malfoy was.
The elf reappeared a few moments later, “Bobbin is to be leading you to the study where Master Malfoy will be speaking with you.”
As Harry followed the elf through the house he tried to memorise where he was going in case he needed to make a quick exit but after five minutes he had got confused and forgotten most of the turns he had taken. After about 10 minutes they reached a door which Bobbin opened, stepped in and announced Harry to Lucius Malfoy.
“Thank you Bobbin, ask Mitsy to send up a tea service for two.”
After the little elf popped out of the room he turned to Harry with a calculating stare, “what may I ask is your business here Mr Potter?”
Harry couldn’t say anything and simply handed Mr Malfoy the letter, which he scanned with his wand before even attempting to open it. As he read the letter, Harry just stood taking in his surroundings and hoping he didn’t get thrown out, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to come into his inheritance.
When he had finished reading the letter Lucius looked at Harry, a look of shock on his face and for once in all the time Harry had known him, the Malfoy mask slipped, “is this really true? How can it be? I don’t understand. Explain, please.”
“Yes, Mr Malfoy, Sir, it is true. You should believe me as I arrived here via your family floo in Gringotts. I am your nephew due to my Grandmother and your Father having an affair which resulted in my father being conceived. Believe me when I say that I genuinely did not know until today.” When Harry finished he tried to maintain eye contact with Lucius but he was having trouble not crying as all he could think about was rejection.
“That is very interesting. I suppose it must be true if you were able to come through our family floo. I think we must talk with my wife and son about this matter.”
“Mr Malfoy, Sir I don’t wish to be rude but Griphook said you would help me with my inheritance which I am due to come into in about 30 minutes.”
“Oh, well in that case I must get you to the Malfoy inheritance room as soon as possible and while you are there I will explain the situation to Narcissa and Draco.”
“Thank you Mr Malfoy.”
With that said Lucius breezed out of the room signalling Harry to follow. Harry tried to keep up with the Malfoy senior’s brisk stride but he was at a height deficit of about a foot and was finding it hard. Yet again it took about ten minutes to get to the inheritance room. Lucius ushered him inside.
“Mr. Potter, you must remain in this room until tomorrow morning and must not leave the area in the centre. I will activate all of the family protection charms now and you must not worry if you feel any pain or discomfort. When you wake you will find all necessary pain potions in the bathroom off to the left and when you are ready call for Bobbin and he will lead you to the breakfast room.”
Lucius then ushered Harry onto the bed in the centre of the room and went to the side of the room where a window should have been. Mr Malfoy tapped his wand over a series of bricks in an intricate pattern and a click was heard signifying the activation of the protection spells. He then left the room and locked and warded the door.
Harry just lay on the bed trying to contemplate the changes his life had been through in less than 24 hours and just as he started to get overwhelmed by a rollercoaster of emotions he felt a pain spread through his body. He levitated off the bed and was surrounded by a rainbow of lights spilling around the room. For the next ten minutes he floated like this until eventually he fell back to the bed, unconscious.
