CONSEQUENCE The boy who survived

Chapter 20 - Interrogation, Kreatcher

"Funny guy, I've dealt with a lot of those" The man replied "my name is Jonathon Steel and I am your interrogator. To start with I'd like to know how you met Sirius Black after he escaped"

"That is an interesting question" Harry said slowly

"Our records have shown that you've visited Mr Black in Azkaban a couple of times over the years" Steel said as he read some documents he had placed on the table "why is that? The man who everyone believes had been responsible for arranging the murder of your parents and one of their best friends yet you visited him multiple times, would you like to explain why you braved the dementors and Azkaban just to visit Sirius Black?"

"Not really" Harry shrugged "but I have a more important question"

"Oh? And what's that?"

"Where do we stand on that sandwich?" Harry asked with no hint of humour visible, except in his eyes

"Do you think your funny?" Steel asked, unimpressed

"No, I think I'm Harry Potter, I would think that you would know that as my interrogator"

"Kid, you're not the first joker I've ever met and you won't be the last"

"Joker? Well, I'm no Jack Nicholson but I can be quite funny when I put the effort in" Harry leaned back against the chair "can you do me a favour and get rid of the handcuffs please?"

"Not until you answer our questions smartass"

"That's MR smartass to your sir" Harry replied "and I'm not answering any questions without my lawyer and at least one edible snack"

"It's in your best interest to cooperate with me" Steel said with a hint of warning in his voice

"Is that a threat?" Harry smiled

"What if it was?"

"Then I'd let you know that I've been threatened a lot worse by a lot scarier"

"Do you think you're the first person like you I've ever interrogated?"

"Trust me when I say there's nobody like me" Harry smirked "now, if you really want answers then you're going to wait for my lawyer to arrive, until then I'm not saying anything unless it's witty and/or irritates you

"Listen you little punk…"

"Listen you old bastard" Harry cut him off "do not insult me"

"Or what?" Steel challenged

"I'll insult you back and you won't like it"

"Oh yeah?" Steel pulled his wand out and aimed it right at Harry "You sure you want to do that?"

"Listen mate, if you live through a Japanese girl trying to slice your head off then not much else scares you. You don't even register as intimidating to me, you're just a guy who thinks he's a big man because he's pointing his wand at a handcuffed teenager. The thing you don't realise is that handcuffed or not, I'm still the most dangerous thing in this room"

"I'm tired of you kid, and seeing as you refuse to answer my questions it's time for you to go to sleep until that lawyer of yours arrives. Stupefy" Steel said. The beam shot from Steels wand, Steel and everyone on the other side of the window watched and expected Harry to fall unconscious.
