Chapter 6
Dobby was nervously shifting his feet looking back and forth between Lucius and Harry then glancing down at the bottle he still held in his hand. Dobby had heard the request from his former Master but wasn’t sure if he should obey him or not. Starting to cry and pulling on one of his ears, he thought, Oh, what have I done? Master Harry will be so upset with me. Oh, bad Dobby has let young Master Harry down.
“Dobby...” warned Lucius.
“Dobby, hand me that bottle.” demanded Lucius again starting to get mad. Then when Dobby still hadn’t complied with his request, he yelled out “Dobby, give me that damn bottle now!” When Dobby refused, after finally making direct eye contact with Harry and seeing him shake his head not to give Lucius the bottle he decided to disapparate from the room. However, before he could, Lucius made a mad dash to grab the bottle out of his hand.
“Give me that bottle you crazy elf.” roared Lucius and managed to get a hold of it with his hand but Dobby held onto it tightly from the other end and they began a crazy game of tug and war between the large bottle of vitamins.
“Lucius...Dobby...Stop this at once.” cried out Harry watching from his position on the bed as they were battling for control over the bottle of vitamins that was hanging precariously between them. They didn’t seem to hear him. Lucius was too busy cursing and Dobby was making horrible whining sounds. As the scene before him played out in slow motion, Harry watched in horrified fascination as the bottle actually broke and the vitamins poured all over the bedroom floor.
“NOW YOU’VE DONE IT, YOU IDIOT ELF!” Lucius bellowed at a frightened Dobby.
Harry quickly scrambled onto his hands and knees trying to gather up all the vitamins rolling around on the floor. Lucius and Dobby both looking shocked were still holding their portion of the bottle while glaring at each other. When Lucius saw Harry on the floor, he put the piece of bottle he was still holding into the pocket of his robe.
“Harry, get up this instant. You’re not a damned house elf you stupid boy.” commanded Lucius standing over him.
“Dobby help me,” pleaded Harry. Dobby with a wave of his hand all the vitamins on the floor appeared in a new bottle which he handed over to Harry.
“Thanks, Dobby, you may go now,” replied Harry to a still upset Dobby who thankfully disapparated from the room.
“Here, let me help you.” Lucius said, while pulling Harry up gently by his arm and guiding him back to the bed. Before Harry could prevent him, Lucius took the bottle out of his hand and opened it dropping a vitamin onto his outstretched palm. Lucius examined it carefully before handing it over to Harry with a glass of water. He watched Harry swallow it then sat down in the chair beside the bed. He glanced up at Harry. “Do you want to tell me what’s going on?” he asked.
Harry looked at him and answered, “Lucius, there is nothing wrong, everything is fine. With all the commotion and excitement of preparing for my new position, I just haven’t been eating right and got a little over tired. It’s nothing that a good sleep won’t solve and I’ll be better tomorrow.”
“Then what are these vitamins for?” inquired a still suspicious Lucius.
“Lucius, they are just regular vitamins, you know, almost everybody takes them at one time or another.” replied Harry.
“I have seen these kind of vitamins before but can’t quite place where. Why do you have to take them? Have you been ill with some kind of sickness?” Lucius kept digging Harry for answers.
Deciding that he needed to be more tactful, Harry told him, “OK, Lucius. If you really want to know the truth, then yes, I was feeling a bit under the weather when I was staying at the Burrow and had to see a healer who prescribed these vitamins for me to take. They are just a dietary supplement that will give me the nutrients I am missing in my regular diet. I promise you that’s all it is. I am perfectly healthy and just have to watch what I eat and be sure to take them on a daily basis. I don’t know if you were aware of it but I was malnourished growing up and that helped contribute to my current problem.”
“Yes, I know how those filthy muggles treated you as a child. I heard all the stories from Draco. When he came home from school for the holidays in your first year, he told us how your relatives made you sleep in a cupboard under the stairs until you received your Hogwarts letter. Later, he would tell us how they had starved and worked you like a house elf to earn your keep in their household. I could never understand why Dumbledore left you with them knowing all this. Oh, yes, it was due to your mother’s blood protection and to keep you safe from Lord Voldemort, how could I have forgotten. Yet never mind about his keeping you safe from your own relatives,” raged a disgusted Lucius.
Harry sat on the bed looking at him with his large emerald eyes and said, “Lucius, that’s in the past and I have already forgiven them.”
“I really don’t understand you at all Harry. How are you able to so readily forgive all those who have hurt you in the most unbearable ways and yet still remain so pure of heart?” Not expecting an answer to his question, Lucius leaned over and gently put the palm of his hand alongside Harry’s face, quietly saying, “You are an enigma to me Harry James Potter and one that I am looking forward to solving.”
Lucius then stood up and without saying another word walked swiftly out of Harry’s room.
After Lucius arrived back to his private rooms, he pulled off his robes and heard a clatter on the floor. Looking down, he saw his half of the vitamin bottle that had broken in Harry’s room and which he had forgotten that he had placed in his pocket.
Leaning down to pick it up, he inspected it carefully trying to make out the words written on the torn piece of label. He could make out something like, pre atal vmins ake oe vey mng or aby, what the hell does that mean? he thought.
As he was thinking it over, an owl flew into his room with an envelope. He opened it and cursed, it was a letter from the Ministry requesting that he return at once for an emergency Board Meeting. His presence was required and they instructed Lucius to bring along with him the paperwork and designs for a special project he had been assigned to work on for them.
Walking over to his desk, he dropped the broken bottle into a drawer thinking he would deal with it later and then lifted the folder containing his work for the ministry off of it. He then walked over to the fireplace and flooed to the Ministry.
In the meantime, Harry was sound asleep on his bed having a very nice dream involving himself, Lucius, chocolate covered strawberries and whipped cream. He didn’t notice the door opening and a dark figure quietly entering his room.
