Chapter 59 - Confrontation (2/2)

Quirrell ”But master you are still weak.”

Lucius ”Yes. Let me fave the real culprit. I decided to leave you alone after making sure that Draco will not be in much danger. All I did to you was get you pranked. I thought you will be bored staying in behind his head all the time and would appreciate some entertainment. But last night you nearly killed my son. Due to you endangering my son, I could not let you stay at Hogwarts anymore. You had to go and to make sure that your mission fails, I sent an anonymous letter to the prophet.”

Voldemort ” YOU ARE BEHIND ALL MY TORMENT THIS YEAR. LET ME FACE THE TRAITOR NOW, QUIRRELL.”

Quirrell timidly compiled and removed the turban slowly. After the turban was removed, he turned around. A white face with red eyes was glaring at me from behind Quirrell's head.

Lucius ”Dark Lord. So what you said was true. You cannot die. I was hoping you were dead.”

Voldemort ”I am immortal Lucius. What do you mean you were hoping I had died. KNEEL BEFORE ME YOUR MASTER.”

Lucius ”I won't do that anymore. I left that life behind 11 years ago. I like the life I have now.”

Voldemort ”BETRAYING ME MEANS DEATH LUCIUS. YOU HAVE SEEN WHAT HAPPENS TO TRAITORS. DO YOU WANT THAT TO HAPPEN TO YOU.. I will forgive you for all the difficulties that you have made me face this year if you help me regain my body.”

Lucius ”I won't serve you anymore, mudblood”

Voldemort ”WHAT.”

Lucius ”Yes. I know your true heritage now. After your death, I decided to investigate your origins. I felt Voldemort was a childish name and knew that it was not your real name. I hired investigators to find your true identity and they succeed in finding it in a few months. Tom Marvolo Riddle son of a muggle and a squib of the Gaunt line. You must have found it funny. Making purebloods kissing the robes of a mudblood.”

Voldemort ”HOW DARE YOU CALL ME THAT NAME LUCIUS. I WILL KILL YOU. AVADA KADAVRA.”

I dodge the green spell easily and taunted him.

Lucius ”Is that all you got, Tom. In that body you are weak as a mudblood you are. No rituals helping you become stronger than you superior purebloods.”

He was infuriated and I used his anger to my advantage. After dodging a few more AKs, I cast a chain of spells at him.

He was not expecting it and he found it very difficult to move away to dodge the spells. In an instant, he was wandless, tied up and petrified.

Lucius ”That feels so good. I have wanted to do that for a long time. I want to torture you but I don't want your death to be connected to me. Count yourself lucky.”

Voldemort ”ENJOY THE SMILE WHILE IT LASTS. YOU CANNOT KILL ME TODAY. I WILL BE BACK. WHEN I REGAIN MY BODY I WILL HAVE FUN TORTURING YOU UNTILL YOU BECOME INSANE. ONLY AFTER THAT WILL I KILL YOU.”

Lucius ”I will do everything I can to prevent that. You will be in the spirit form for a long time until you finally fade away. Even if you are able to get your body back, I will be prepared to kill you permanently. Goodbye Tom.”

With that I cast the exorcism spell on him. The spell connrcted withh Voldemort's face and the face started to glow.

Voldemort screamed in pain and his spirit was forcefully ejected from Quirrell's body. The spirit was creepy looking. All I could see clearly was the face which was the same as the face he had on the back of Quirrell's head.

The spirit glared at me for some time while I smiled back at it. I put up an shield surrounding me to make sure it does not try anything. After some tries attacking the shield, the spirit gave up and flew away through the walls.

I sighed in relief and started removing signs of battle from the room. Voldemort's spells had damaged the room and I jad to repair it. It took some time and after I was sure nothing will lead back to me, I wore the invisibility cloak and left the room.

Soon I was back in my own perfect body back in my room in the Ravenclaw tower. Moving around as Lucius Malfoy was weird and uncomfortable. If only I had the Black family gift I could change into any person that I want without feeling uncomfortable.

The way back was uneventful. I guess the Aurors will be more focused on clearing the obstacles in the third floor corridor. And thankfully no one had noticed my absense. I quickly incinerated the clothes I wore as Lucius Malfoy. I will not be needing them again.

Lucius Malfoy is now living on borrowed time. I hope he enjoys the time he has left in this world. He will never know the reason for his death. I am sure Voldemort's first act after calling his followers in the graveyard after his revival will be killing Lucius. Voldemort will cripple himself after his revival after by killing his most resourceful death eater. Manipulating Voldemort was fun.
