Mad Scientist

Summary: Verde had always loved science, even more that magic. Magic, however, did make the science so much more interesting.

Green

He originally got the name Verde for his eyes. (After all, the Italian orphanage had to call him something!) But the reason (and explanation) changed after a tiny accident with an experimental version of a color-switching potion. It was supposed to switch one's hair and eye color for a week.

It was permanent.

Academy

Verde graduated from Italy's magical academy – Trivia's Dell'Accademia di Magia – with top marks in Potions, Runes, and Arithmancy. Two short years later, he was considered a rising star in the worlds of Potions and Spell Creation, and was well on his way to Masteries in both.

He was fifteen.

And at the same time, he was going to Università di Pisa for a joint Master's in Chemistry and Physics, along with degrees in Theoretical Mathematics and Quantum Mechanics. In that world, too, he was considered a genius, a prodigy, someone who's work would change the world.

And did it ever.

Black Parade

It all started with a whisper. Because Vrede, at barely twenty, had risen too far, too quickly, and both the magical and non-magical worlds began to wonder how he'd done it, and what had be done to make it possible. Verde only frowned when the talk of sanctions, of restrictions, began to grow louder. Didn't those old fools see how important his work was? So what if a few homeless men disappeared? It's not like anyone truly missed the drunkards who were actually finally doing something that would better the rest of mankind.

So, Verde just scoffed at their feeble attempts to control him, to stop him. Because he had found a group of people who didn't care what he did as long as he had results. After all, the Verde's supposed lack of morals didn't terribly concern the Mafia.

Lighting

Verde couldn't care less about the status that he gained from becoming an Archbaleno. What he cared about was the possibilities that were now his to explore, because now he could finally experiment with the famed Dying Will Flames. Because now that he could easily access his own flames, he could begin his experiments in earnest – because magic and science combined with this, well, the possibilities were endless.

Weapons

The box weapons and animals were a wondrous combination of magic and science. They were a magnificent improbability that broke several laws of physics and tested the limits of the magical world's proscribed uses for the expansion charm. They were also Verde's pride and joy, never mind the two idiot arms-dealers who tried to take credit for the creation of his beauties. Because they were beautiful, even if the originals needed a little more tweaking to be perfect. Of course, that would probably never happen, dying as he was from Tri-Ni-Set poisoning. Then again, it is the thought that counts.

AN: This came into being largely because of that last snippet. Because I had been thinking about how impossible the box weapons would be according to modern physics, yet they still worked. And they were mostly made by Verde. So give Verde magic, and viola, we can break the laws of physics. Making him Harry was just a personal thing.

Also the song is Welcome to the Black Parade by My Chemical Romance.

And One of the Colorless? *wink* Have a cyber cookie! And Firehedgehog, there will be a poll in the next couple of weeks, along with several more chapters, and after that, then, I'll start expanding stories.

Don't forget to review!
