Thank you for the reviews! I wonder how long it will take to run out of colors for titles. I'm glad someone said they thought Tom was in character when he received his gift. I am worried about keeping him in character. Morfin should be fun to write.
Yellow-Green
It was a horrible mind. A sore yellow-greenish color that seemed to be rotten. Morfin really was insane. Ron wasn't bad with the mind reading, like Harry it was the mind blocking he had trouble with, luckily he couldn't be harmed from the dying mind latching on to his because he now had the 'god given gift' of blocking his mind. Still having to sift though the sludge to get the needed information was difficult.
He needed to know Morfin's age and his mother's name and if they had always lived in the hovel. Here was the first problem Morfin was 36. Ron was 23. They needed to change both of their ages if they were to have been even slightly close. He supposed he could make Morfin 30 and himself 28. Morfin didn't know his mother's name, he's father had simply called her the 'Bitch' because it seemed that she had left him after Merope was born. She was of course pureblood. Sadly they had always lived in the hovel.
Deciding that there wasn't really anything to work with to make Morfin feel any brotherly love for him, he certainly never cared for his sister Ron made the choice to delete the almost the man's entire mind. It was much harder than a simple Oblivate. Ron would delete almost everything except for body functions like walking, and using the bathroom, he would leave him his very few happy memories that did not involve violence, a few of his father were man wasn't doing much of anything., one of his father being yelling because he did need to know what kind of man he was, some of his sister that he would manipulate so Morfin thought he felt love and affection for his sister. Ron would implant his fake age and of course a few memories of himself. Before could do that however he had to make sure they looked at least a bit like each other.
Doing that would tire out fast him so first he drug the filthy man to the bathroom where he shot as many cleaning spells that he could remember at the man. Then he put him in a bubble head charm and levitated him into a large tub of soapy water. He had never seen a dirtier man than this one. The bath water was soon to turn brown and Ron refilled the tub 3 times before he was satisfied that he could touch the man without catching something.
He got the man out of the tub, vanished his clothes, which he had refused to remove until the man was at least slightly clean. He sent cutting spells at the man's mangled dark hair and then dunked him back into the water. When the man was clean and dressed and unconscious again Ron looked at the man's face.
"How in hell am I supposed to look like that without looking like a deformed half house elf?"
"Well?" You never got an answer when you were the one that wanted to talk to otherworldly beings.
"And there's the owl with a letter again. Don't you ever get tired?" He asked the owl. The owl did not respond.
