My Snake is in HEAT!

One might wonder, what possessed me to rest for the entire week prior to the raid at the Ministry, and yet put so many plans into motion immediately after. Because my elves told me Gellert returned to USA, and went straight inside MACUSA with glamour. My elves surveilling Newt also told me they found him taking a Thunderbird after taming him for a while, inside his suitcase. Well looks like the cogs are set in motion. I let it be so, that the ship which Newt boarded would make a stop at Port-Au Prince so that I could board it. I also made it so, so that the elves keeping track on Nagini in the circus, and Credence Barebone have an elf each, watching over them, and providing help in the name of a well-wisher, who cares for their well-being.

They know me as Aracxus Velaryon, a powerful Lord coming of age, backed by centuries of wealth, and great powerful magic. I have set it so, that even if he meets illusioned Gellert, who would try to sway young Credence by promising him an entry in the magical world, Credence would be utterly loyal to me, because my elves are keeping calming draughts, they looted from a supplier in New York at my command, and adding a drop every day in Credence's mother's meal. I also had the elves perform loot in the mundane USA, and use the muggle money to give to Credence, to say he was grateful, was simply by now, a gross understatement. I made the elves prevent his mother from going all anti-magic and raising trouble for me, while I made sure, that the elves show all love and care that young Credence simply craves for. The situation for Polpetina Goldstein never occurred, so the only loving hand Credence knows of, is my elf and by extension, Me.

When I said, coming of age, I was not joking. All wizards go through Magical Maturity; it is like a blessing to the Magical for using magic well. If you are like me, who has yet, to cast a single Dark spell, and yet use magic so much, that I must absorb Magic to regenerate my Reserves, you are in for a treat. I can no longer regenerate magic naturally, it would take about two days to fill my reserves, the denser the ambient magic, the faster I regenerate. So I always charge my magic from the Hogwarts' nexus. I may be weaker than the Hogwarts Four and less Skilled too. But my elf-magic, and goblin-magic, significantly reduces cost.

You see, elf-apparition draws from the ambient magic to teleport, and goblin-magic heavily pushes magic in the body, unlike wizards, who simply push magic from core to the focus like a wand, and out. But because of goblin-magic and elf-magic, my combined magic use has become efficient. I need significantly less magic per spell, and I can even cast Patronus wandless. That may seem pointless, when I know, those whom the Patronus protects against, came be reduced to cinders by simple use of Fire Elemental Spells. To be honest, I don't know why, but previous to gaining elves and goblins cards, I always needed a wand for Patronus Charm. I fiddled with every spell, bar Fiendfyre spell, and I could do it all and in other languages I learnt too, but I simply could not do Patronus Charm without wand. But now, after using both the elf's and goblins magic card, it was as if something changed. Outwardly, apart from what I had already mentioned, nothing changed whatsoever. But I could do the Patronus charm wandlessly, chantlessly. I am still practicing the skill to shape my corporeal patronus, in any shape I desire, to avoid any counter effects. I have decided to not absorb the Grim Animagus card, until I can shape my Patronus in the grim form. Never play with rituals that can shape the very fibre of your life.

Well, till I do that, I had my elves keep tab, on all the Underground Sellers and Traders whose names I learnt, from the DOM raid and the Healer. I then had my elves perform heist independently and bring the ruffians incapacitated with the Draught to a secure location where I would meet them. I had them sort out the different types of material, namely the living and the non-living. I converted the non-living cards, which were usually Galleons, gems, enchanted Items, etc. even Potion ingredients. I left the living to the elves, who by now had become fantastic breeders, and care for all my creatures as per my Specification.

I have met Dumbledore again, when he returned back to the Castle for the Term as Defence against the Dark Arts Teacher, and I extracted my cards from him, again. He had gained a Basic Alchemy card, which was stacked with one of the Unspeakables' cards. I realized that even if the Card is the same, the knowledge and the quality is different. This means, just like Editions of a book, if the memories and information is different, even if the names are the same, the cards do not get displaced. So that means I had foolishly left away the stacks of cards, which may have had precious information. No matter! I am lucky, that the cards do not get deleted, and since there is no shortage of space, I never wilfully threw out anything. Live and learn!

I then got my things sorted out, paid attention to the needs of each creature stored, found a few rare exotic animals brought in, even a male Erumpent, a Young baby black Qilin. You would say why is it needed to specify its colour? Well it is what the world will call a natural Mutation, and we don't know, what else is different apart from its colour. I found a lot of Occamys/Occamies and had them put up in a Temperature Regulated Section. My elves found three Runespoors adult ones, an adult Runespoor grows in length to about 25 feet. That is when they have three heads. They are the reason; the muggles have the story of Hydra.

Apart from these snakes, I saw for the first time, a Horned Serpent. They are Huge! The one being smuggled was 52 feet and had a jewel in its head the size of my palm, and I have proportionally large hands. When I met her, for the first time, it tried to attack but I restrained her gently and spoke in parseltongue to her. She immediately calmed down, and allowed me to pet her. I then told her, how I am freeing creatures and creating a version of Habitat for them, and asked her if she wanted to see for herself. She agreed, and I took her on a tour. When she saw the different kind of Snakekin here, she wanted to assert her dominance, but all the Snakes told her to greet my familiar first. She was curious and asked me about it. I kept mum, and told her she would meet him at the end of the tour. She was displeased and let me know her irritation by butting in me with her head gently. I rubbed her scales under her jaw, and she let out a gargling sound, I knew it was a kind of purr for snakekin, and I knew a lot of sensitive Spots for Snakes. I them rubbed her forehead, behind the jewel, between her horns, and she let out a hiss of contentment. At the end of the tour, she was enjoying herself very much, but seemed excited at challenging my Familiar, to be my familiar herself. I let out a snort, but I told her to come with me to a nearby cavern, I prepared myself, enchantment, rune, everything.

The shock on her face, the first time she laid eyes on my Basilisk was a memory worthy of Patronus! She immediately bowed her head, but her body was shivering, and she kept flicking her tail, left and right. I asked my familiar who was approaching the Horned Serpent, if he was scaring her, to which he laughed and said, $No Master, she is in heat$

He then took her in the cavern, in a string of hisses as he wrapped her body in a slither. I cast a silencing charm on the cavern, and told the elves to prepare extra meal for my horny serpents, and leave it at the entrance of the cave. After sorting out everything I went to the Room of Requirement and lay in a bed, and started using every single ability card, regardless of its colour, from basics to rare advanced, and continuously began a steady use of occlumency to arrange the clutter. I thought it would be easier, but it took a lot of time, almost till the morning to absorb every card. I took breaks in between for the meal, but with each card used, it felt like absorbing the knowledge became easier. I would have taken even longer, but when I touched a \Advanced Transfiguration/ card to a \Basic Transfiguration/ card it vanished, and then I realized what happened!

A higher card can absorb the lower cards to fill out the gaps in knowledge and add upon it layering it. It was almost like how programming languages use compiler and assembler, to simply convert the essence of the information and data and break it into binary bits of simple data that a computer understands. Similarly, all components of the knowledge are reduced to base concepts, snipped and pasted wherever necessary and provided to me so my simple brain comprehends the information. I immediately exploited this benefit and absorbed the cards which were now loaded with information. I then decided to see what happens and left out a few blue cards, which I now had a ton of, and went on a card hunt.

The entire day, I went from one department to next, gathering card after cards, I met a few people with no ability cards showing, meaning I already took them. I found that cackle of witches whom I met during my first day at the ministry, I took all their cards, cast a confundus to take them away, deactivate her defences and anti-tracking charms, relieved her of her other enchantments and protections and some cursed ones she was hiding as her coat buttons as well. I then cast a Legilimens on her to see all things she's hiding and everything she does not want others to see.

Turns out she's a pureblood from France, a Noble too to boot, and just told me of how much wealthy she is. Seems I have to raid France as well. I, then, obliviated her, restored her protections, undid the intrusion alert, and enervated her. She was going to wake up in the middle of the street, with no idea what happened as there would be no warnings on her protections. I did a similar mind search on all her accomplices, and found more targets for my elves.

When I was on a hunt for the fourth of the six witches, an auror randomly searching and interrogating suspicious individual stopped me for my Credentials. I showed him my wand which last was used to feed the Basilisk, and otherwise unused. He then saw my Identity which Gringotts prepared for me, and looked curious about the timing of a new noble arriving the same time the ones here were robbed, he was planning to call for the other auror interrogating a Seller, when I cast a wandless imperio on him. I knew what he was thinking, because I was performing my Legilimens on him the entire time. I, then took him to a turn of the alley, illusioned myself as one of his long-time friends, whom I had passed by recently, and planted false memories of him chatting with him near the alley, while removing every trace of me from his mind. I found out an auror named Grimmson was suspicious about me and told this guy in passing about it; Grimmson also told him look for me during the random search.

Now that is trouble!
