The Toad
Harry practically ran into the Slytherin dorms. He quickly summoned his mirror, spelled the curtains close and put Muffliato around his bed before calling for Tom.
The man was quick to answer but the smile at seeing his younger husband died out the moment he saw Harry's glowing green eyes, the magic swirling inside him wanting to be let out. Harry was bloody well pissed. Usually Tom would find it funny as the anger wasn't directed at him but right now the man was Harry's sole focus.
"Darling, what happened?", the man asked in a soft voice, trying to soothe his husband. It didn't work.
"Oh, I wonder.", Harry snapped back.
Tom scowled. The teenager knew the man didn't appreciate being talked to this way but Harry didn't care. He was way too hurt to try and calm down right now. How anyone could even consider getting the pink toad back into office was the most insulting thing Harry had ever experienced.
"Why is Umbridge back?", he asked coldly.
Tom seemed confused.
"Whom do you mean, darling?"
Harry was gobsmacked. He didn't even know the name? Oh someone else was going to feel Harry's ire soon.
"Dolores Umbridge, undersecretary to the Minister of Magic, well as of now, I presume.", Harry answered impatiently.
Tom thought for a moment before his eyes lit up.
"Ah, the pink monstrosity. Lucius told me she was sympathetic to our cause. That's why he brought her back into office.", Tom explained.
Harry's mind went blank for a moment. So the man didn't know or didn't care what she'd done beforehand? Whichever it was, Lucius needed a punishment.
"From what I gathered you wanted a unified Wizarding World, with Creatures and Wixen living in harmony or am I wrong?", Harry asked quietly, dangerously, still deciding which punishment he should let Tom use on Lucius or if he wanted to punish the man himself.
"Yes."
Harry smiled brightly, no warmth in his eyes: "Then she's the wrong one. She hates anything that is a half-blood. She was one of the few people coming forth with the Werewolf legislations you're trying to change. She liked to torture children during her time as a Hogwarts Professor. She used a blood quill on students during detention, making them write lines in their own blood."
Tom blanched.
"Pardon?", he asked.
"Oh, did Lucius not know?", Harry asked sweetly while shifting the mirror into his right hand.
He shoved his left hand into Tom's view.
Tom was confused for a moment. When he realized what Harry had shown him the man let out a hiss. Harry shuddered.
The hiss Tom had let out was filled with the need to kill and hurt. Prevously Harry had only heard it from the Basilisk. Hearing Tom let out such a sound made his whole body shiver. Oh Umbridge was as good as dead. The only thing Harry mourned was the fact that he wouldn't see her torture and death personally.
"I apologize. I hadn't thought to question Lucius' choice. In regards to his idiocy from before I should have. I will rectify that immediately.", Tom murmured.
Harry nodded in thanks.
"Oh and tell Lucius that he should be careful of whom to select. He's already on thin ice. I will not involve Draco this time, but if he makes another mistake as big as this one I won't be lenient.", Harry hissed.
Tom inclined his head. "Do you have any other objections to the position?"
Harry thought about that.
"If Percy Weasley is considered a choice, question him under Veritaserum to make sure he still has no ties to his family. I wouldn't want another Dumbledore supporter in the Wizengamot. Other than that I have no objections at all. Just make sure that the background adds up."
"Of course, darling.", Tom said reverently.
Harry smiled at the man, his anger ebbing away somewhat. It was nice to have someone care about your feelings like this. He was still considering if he wanted to punish Lucius himself. Tom would do it well, he knew. But Harry had the need to hurt. He was finally able to do something to people who hurt him like this.
"Tell me about your day, darling.", Tom suggested gently.
The man was obviously trying to distract Harry.
"Not a chance, Tom. Tell me, is Lucius busy on the day of the first Hogsmeade visit? It's scheduled for the weeked in two weeks.", Harry replied saccharinely.
Tom made a confused sound, his eyes taking on a sharp glint.
"And why would you want him to be free, darling?", the man asked quietly.
"I was still deciding on a punishment. I decided as he didn't consider my feelings regarding that toad I would like to be the one punishing him. At least I want to question his choice personally. I will decide on a punishment until then.", Harry murmured quietly.
Tom smirked proudly.
"Yes, darling. I will make sure he is free. If you want suggestions I'm here to support you. But now tell me about the rest of your day.", Tom ordered.
Harry relented and started with the duel during Defense. It made Tom actually laugh.
Harry became gradually less tense.
When Harry had finished bragging about being better than Hermione and her being jealous over it, their conversation stilled and silence reigned for a moment. Harry cast a Tempus charm to see how late it was. Surprisingly it was just after nine.
"Darling, I need to go now. I wanted to hold a meeting. A special pink toad was invited. I will see to her punishment myself.", Tom said, a manic glint forming in his eyes.
Harry had the sudden urge to kiss the man. No one had ever punished his abusers before and Tom being this willing made Harry want to cherish the man.
"Do that. Just remember to preserve the pensieve memory for me. I would gladly see her beg for her death.", Harry answered.
Tom's chuckle made the hair on Harry's arms raise and a shiver ran down his spine.
"Oh, darling, how I've ruined you. I find your murderous tendencies quite arousing. Of course I will share the memory with you. We might watch it together. I have an enjoyable idea for that."
Tom's deep voice sent another shiver down Harry's spine and a small gasp left him. He had quite a few ideas himself. His mind was working in overdrive.
The man chuckled at seeing the heated look the teenager gave him and quickly ended the mirror-call.
Harry sighed, aroused and left to wait until he and Tom were alone again.
The teenager decided not to go down into the common room again, his new friends (followers?) must have thought him crazy enough for storming off. Harry would be informing Draco of his father's mistake tomorrow, though. Draco would be on edge around him for a while but Harry thought it necessary.
