The Power of Time and Award 7

"Now, Vernon, why don't you sign here," said Harry, pushing some papers and pen towards Vernon. But Vernon looked reluctant, he looked at Harry with so much anger and rage that his face turning purple, but due to the punishment he had received recently, he couldn't do anything. Unable to move his body, he settled for a glare at Harry with as much hatred he could muster. Harry chuckled at his attempt of intimidation.

"Is this another try to remove the 'freakishness' in me? Staring at me without blinking. Really, Vernon, you can't find anything more stupid to do. Anyway, you are going to sign these forms" said Harry with finality. Vernon glared at the elf who returned it with more intensity.

"What are these for?" he asked as he can't do anything to his liking with a groan.

"None of your business. But I'll say. Maybe that will make you think before you do something rash next time. The one on top is related to my school which I won't say as it doesn't matter to you, you will sign it no matter what, and the second one is interesting.

It states that you are indebted to me and is ready to do anything to repay it as long as I don't sue you in court" Harry said with a cruel smirk appearing on his face. Vernon looked at him outraged and fury burning in his eyes. Harry chuckled in amusement at that.

"What, you think it is unreasonable. Don't come to conclusions, it is not finished yet. It also states that you agree and acknowledged that you physically punished me and your family are the reason for my malnutrition and irregular education, if you go to the police or file a lawsuit against me, you did to get yourself punished for the deeds you have done to me and as a way of repentance" at this, Harry's smile darkened.

"This, you say out of your own free will and of sound mind and created this contract and bind yourself and family into it which includes your wife and son. You'll also ask your sister, Marge, to sign it when she comes as a surety" Harry said happily. Vernon's face lost all its colours as he heard the complete contract but couldn't do anything and hung his head low.

"Now sign it," Harry said with authority and his magic flared to life, it created a pressure on Vernon which made his knees buckle and before he could be killed, he took the pen and signed the contract. Harry smiled at that and took the contract from him.

"Good. Now you will only be relieved of this contract when I say so myself. Speak of this to anyone, you will get yourself and your family to jail. Now, for the order of business, I want you, with that useless idiot you call son, and the wooden stick you call wife, to go to work and bring me money. You will give me 50% of your earnings" Vernon looked shocked at that.

"Yes, you heard me correctly. Half of your earnings. Dobby, heal them as little as you could. They should be able to work and that's enough. After being healed, you three are going to work. Work as never before, work as your life depends on it, literally. I want at least 3000 pounds a month without any fail. Now go to work, you will give your payment for this month tomorrow. I'm going to take your son's room and he can stay wherever he wants" said Harry and nodded to Dobby who popped away to move Harry's belongings to Dudley's room.

After coming to his new room, Harry thought about what he did to his relatives. But didn't give a damn about them or their well being. He should ask about the exchange rate of Pounds to Galleons to know how much he is making from this contract.

'Well, I think it will be high so that I can extract them of their money and make them regret their mistakes and earn more money at the same time. I should go to Gringotts sometime. Maybe after I receive the payment tomorrow. That will give me a chance to know the exchange rate and test the coin I had from the Slytherin vault.

If possible, I should see my accounts manager as well. Since I am the Lord of a Noble House, maybe I would get some benefits as well. Only one way to find out I guess" he thought and immersed himself in reading books about the upcoming rituals he should do on his birthday.
