Chapter 7: plan
Henry became anxious and said," I don't have any intentions. Cassandra is my friend. I'll never have any ill intentions towards her. She is my first friend in this world and I'll never plot anything against her or this family which showed me kindness".
The butler took out his wand and pointed at him then chanted," Crucio ", Henry body suddenly felt pain and he screamed while Mr Vole looked at him indifferently. Henry's eyes widened as he is tortured for some time before Mr vole told the butler to stop.
He then looked at Henry and said," You know since the day you appeared in this house I didn't like you. A stray kid wishing to pursue my daughter. Do you think I'll let a dirty mutt like you lay hands on my daughter. She is maybe innocent but I'm not. I know you're not the thief. Those galleons are placed by the servants in your room ".
Henry eyes widened as Mr vole continued," You see, cassie is becoming too much attached to you. It's not a good thing. That's why I prepared this plan. You're an obscurus kid. You won't live long and nobody knows when you'll lose control or when you'll die. I don't want my baby daughter to be neat you who is a walking bomb and a flickering flame that will be extinguished sooner or later".
Henry looked at Mr vole and didn't say anything while Mr vole said," I know you want to leave. But my wife and daughter are soft hearts. They don't want you leave this house. This is why I'm doing this. You're being framed and they'll have their impression on you broken. So just co-operate and leave. I'm thankful as a father for saving her. But your use is over. Too much attachment on a person will not be good for her. She is innocent and don't know her feelings. But I can see through her. In her heart a beautiful feeling is being born. Just like me and wife's feelings for her. She is developing something on you kid. You understood. She is a princess like figure with the position of heir of house vole".
Mr vole continued," She is my one and only heir and the future owner of many major businesses and one of richest houses of wizarding world. Compared to her, what are you? Nothing. You're nothing but a muggleborn trash that we can find anywhere in the wizarding world. So leave, from this house, from her, from her heart. You're nothing but a insect I can squash anytime but my cassie will hate me for that. So just like how you appeared in her life, leave in that way ".
Henry's mind went blank. He just nodded and he felt everything around us collapsing. He just stood lifelessly without saying anything while everything happened. He just nodded to everything while Cassandra slapped him with tears on her face.
He really don't want to disturb their family. Although Mr vole is a harsh man, which father will allow someone whose life is hanging by a thread and a poor stray boy approach and rob his daughter from him. But really broke his heart is Cassandra's words and Mrs vole's disappointed and disgusted gaze.
Cassandra told it would've been if he stayed out of her life and she needs to put people in their rightful place. That is he deserves to eat garbage and live on streets. She said he didn't deserve her kindness and he is ungrateful dog who bit the hand that fed him. She hit him again and again, she called hik all kinds of things and spoke harsh words, and insults. She said his parents did a good thing abandoning him, while Henry stood motionless.
His heart is broken to pieces. He thought he has a friend but now looking at the unbearable insults and claims of her tears rolled in his eyes. He remembered all those days when they played together, and now looking at her, all that shattered.
He taken by the servants and thrown out harshly at the woods out of the manor. Henry walked lifelessly and sat under tree. All memories flooded into him and his brain generated a cold current. His pupils became golden and three tomoe appeared in both of them.
Henry became unconscious and leaned on the tree. Meanwhile at the manor the servants are discussing and laughing how their master threw the kid out. And all of this is heard by Mrs Vole accidentally. She staggered as she heard how her husband tortured Henry and told how he will die and everything. She walked to her room and sat on her bed. Thinking like a mother she felt this is necessary but not to this extent where they broke a innocent child's heart and filled it with darkness. She is imagining how Henry would've felt now.
Tears rolled her eyes as she spoke to herself," Sorry Henry. I don't know if this is good or bad, but as a mother I don't want my daughter to stay with someone who will die at any moment. Forgive me".
