Previously
Naruto took a deep breath and scratched his companion's head, "Alright buddy, let's get to it." Naruto started to release his magic from his body and gained a white aura/hue around him, and extended his right arm. Shadow took off from Naruto's shoulder and hovered in front of him. He slashed Naruto's palm using his wings, showing their sharpness. Without even flinching, Naruto channelled his magic downwards to the runes as his blood dripped down. Suddenly, the runes lit up as Naruto gasped, and his eyes rolled back. His limping body levitated a little bit, irresponsive to the frightened screams from the other three occupants there.
Chapter 3 – Lifeless
As soon as Naruto's body went limp, the adults tensed, and Hermione screamed, "NARUTO!".
Dumbledore was about to undo the barrier so that he and Ollivander could go in to terminate the process when Shadow screeched loudly to gain their attention. As they looked towards him, it looked like the phoenix was indicating them not to enter the barrier. Knowing better than to disobey the mythical creature, they halted their attempts to enter and just waited for something to happen to the teen's lifeless form.
After few minutes, they saw an unnaturally bleached and smooth bone materialise in front of Naruto. As soon as the bone appeared, Naruto's eyes snapped open, and he landed back on the ground. He raised his hands toward the bone and started to channel his magic and blood towards it. The bone was crushed into a fine powder. Shadow himself began to release his magic and gained a blackish-silver aura around him. A black fire erupted around the bird's chest, and his black blood started to drip on the powdered bone.
At this instant, Dumbledore sensed unimaginable stress on the barrier. He had to force all his magic to sustain it or risk the destructive force to be released in Diagon Alley and claim numerous lives. As Naruto and Shadow channelled their magic and blood toward the powdered bone, it slowly started to take the shape of a wand. The overwhelming magic in the air condensed around the wand and got absorbed in it.
As soon as all the magic was absorbed, Naruto jerked his head to get rid of any haziness and hunched on his knees to regain his breath, just now feeling the toll his body took during the process. After regaining his strength, Naruto grasped the wand levitating before him for the first time and instantly felt the undeniable connection between them. Seeing this, Dumbledore released the barrier, and they moved toward the boy and the bird sitting in front of him.
The wand was nothing like any other they all have seen, which is saying something when two of the older people were alive for at least a century, and one of them was from an ancient family of wand-makers. The wand was 12 inches long, it was of the same white colour as the bone they saw, and the handle design was relatively simple, containing ringed guard and pommel (A.N. 'Guard' and 'Pommel' are terms used for specific parts for a sword/knife. Google them to know more). But what was caught their eyes was the colour of the guard and the pommel, along with the similar vines coming out of it and covering the entire wand. From what they could see, they contained a mixture of Naruto's crimson red and Shadow's deep black blood, which seemed to be swirling hypnotically inside it (A.N. The wand looks like the one in the story's picture, but its guard, pommel and vines look like black-red liquid flowing through them).
"Oh! Good lord! What a magnificent masterpiece Mr Uzumaki. I don't think there has been a wand that had a body made up of three materials. Blood of the master, and a beast along with a bone of an unidentified origin, I can feel that the bone came from an immensely powerful source," Ollivander said, almost in a trance.
"Even with the blood, it is uncharacteristically beautiful", Hermione commented, in awe of the wand.
Before anyone else spoke, Dumbledore raised his concern, "Naruto, you went unconscious during the process, which shouldn't have happened. The bone, while feeling powerful, is unidentified, and we did not see you make a core for the process. So, I would like to know what happened to you during the process?"
Hearing his gramps question, Naruto contemplated his words for a moment and examined the wand in his hand, "12 inches, coreless, body made up of unknown bone and blood from its master and a beast, indestructible", he said, speaking the specifications of his wand. Then he continued, "Even I don't know how and why it happened, gramps. One moment I was releasing my blood into the rune, and next, I was making a wand out of instinct alone. Though, I do know the origin of this bone and the reason it's coreless. But I would like to confirm some things before I tell you anything. You know I don't like to lie to you, but I request at least a year's worth of time to confirm my suspicions and theories. I will say this; I think an old prophecy will be fulfilled soon" (A.N. Live in suspense until I reveal it in a much later chapter or, you can ask me some of them through P on)
Hearing his usually cheerful surrogate grandson's earnest request, Dumbledore pondered over Naruto's words, "Alright, I will wait for your answers. But know this, you can come to me anytime you want for any assistance you may require", he said, feeling concerned as prophecies were usually not a good sign. Then he continued, "Now that our business down here is done, we can move upstairs."
"Um, Naruto, is your wand really indestructible? I don't know much about wands and their properties," Hermione asked as they moved upstairs
Naruto looked towards his wand for a second and replied, "There are some ways on how a wand can be indestructible. Like your own, for example, the cashew. Your cashew wood, or as muggles call it, 'Schinopsis brasiliensis', is one of the strongest woods to exist (A.N. FACT! You can google it). With that strong dual-core, your wand should be nigh indestructible. As for my wand? It is something different," he asked cheekily as they reached the counter in the shop.
"Come on! Please tell me!" she pleaded for knowledge. The group elders also looked at Naruto, silently hoping to learn more about the unknown wand.
"Well, if you are asking nicely then," as he said this, the wand in his hand deformed and turned into a cloud of bone dust and blood floating above his palm. "It can't be harmed as it deforms and forms at my will", he smirked, basking in their shocked looks.
"It truly is one of a kind Naruto, just like yourself. But I think it is getting rather late, and we all should retire once you pay Mr Ollivander her," Dumbledore said while pointing out of the shop when they realised that it was late in the evening.
Hearing about his pay Ollivander responded towards Naruto, "I will not charge anything for this as I only gained powerful runes, capable of making more powerful wands. But I would request Mr Naruto to allow me to inspect the wand whenever he discovers everything about it. As it is not every day that you see a wand this powerful, even if it is coreless."
"I don't think Naruto will have any problems with it" seeing Naruto nod; Dumbledor continued, "Then we shall head back toward Leaky Cauldron". After saying their farewell to the shopkeeper, they went to the pub. Dumbledore asked Hermione, "Ms Granger, I hope it was an educational day for you, and I am sure you understand to keep all the things to yourself. Right?" seethe girl nod, he said "Excellent! Now then I would like to discuss something privately to Naruto."
Getting the polite request, she replied, "Sure Professor, it was a very good day for me, and I will keep all the things I should to myself". Then she turned toward Naruto and smiled, "Thank you for allowing me to observe today, Naruto. I hope we can be friends."
"Think nothing of it! And we already are friends. If you were not trustworthy, Shadow would not have exposed himself to you," he said toward the bird on his shoulder, who was transformed as a black owl. "And I will see you on the train tomorrow!" he exclaimed happily as he gave her a friendly hug, making her blush.
Seeing the young witch moving away, Dumbledore guided Naruto towards a table in a corner and ordered two butterbeers for them. After they settled down, he asked, "Naruto, what do you think about …."
TIMESKIP TO THE NEXT DAY DURING HARRY'S FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH THE DEMENTORS
Earlier in the morning, Hermione woke up in a good mood, despite the loud snores from the next room and the train shaking her bed and eardrums equally, early in the morning. She was happy to gain a new friend the previous day as she never had many friends before coming to Hogwarts. She was also hoping to introduce Harry and Ron to him, as to her, Naruto seemed to be a great guy.
But as soon as she exited the room, her mood dropped when Crookshanks jumped out of her arms and started to chase Ron's rat, Scabbers. All the while, his owner was busy boasting about something to the housekeeper. This led to an argument between them, during which Harry showed up informing them about his late arrival. After that, they settled down and talked about their vacations as Ron gloated about his trip to Egypt; Harry told them about what happened with his aunt and his awkward talk with the minister of magic, Fudge.
Hermione also told them about her trip to France with her parents and how she made a new friend yesterday. While telling them what she could about Naruto, they both thought that she was making things up. They had to consider the possibility when the twins mentioned a student named Naruto in their first year, but he left for some reason. They were unable to get to know him because he did not attend classes with them due to some problems (A.N. Naruto was in Hogwarts for only six months and did not attend classes as he did not have a wand at that time. So, he was not able to make any friends that semester).
Now, on the train, Harry was telling them about Serious Black when the train suddenly stopped, and the lights went out. The temperature suddenly dropped, and the train's random jerks scared her. A silhouette appeared on their cabin's door. Even never seeing one before, she knew that the creature before her was a dementor. For the first time in her life, she felt hopeless but was more scared when it started to do something to Harry.
She was about to scream for help to the sleeping professor when she heard someone growling, "Bastard child of Ekrizdis!". A small flare of blue flames followed this, and the voice continued, "You better do what you are here to do, or you will suffer more pain than you have experienced in your eternal lifeless existence". The flames seemed to affect the creature, who turned away and simply left as Harry dropped unconscious. "You always liked sticking close to danger Lupin!" the voice suddenly sounded more cheerful, and this time Hermione easy recognised it as her new friend, Naruto's.
Sure enough, he showed up at their door and helped, now awake, professor to lay down Harry on the seat. "I was merely observing the creature and was about to use a Patronus, but you did it. It is good to see you are still doing good," he greeted the teenager.
"Of course, I am good! Look who you are speaking to!" Naruto continued their playful banter.
After few minutes, the lights turned on, and the train started to move. As Harry woke up, professor Lupin gave him some chocolate to recover and went to talk to the train driver. As he walked out, Hermione saw Naruto nodding to the professor and converse in whispers. Harry told them about him hearing a voice, to which Ron responded, "No, but I felt weird though. Like I will never be cheerful again!"
"That's one of the reasons why Azkaban is the perfect prison for dark wizards," Naruto said as he entered the cabin and sat in front of Hermione. He smiled towards her and greeted "Hermione! It's good to see you again".
She also smiled towards him and replied, "It's good to see you too, Naruto". Then she introduced Ron and Harry to him.
"Yeah, thank you for scaring that thing away with those wicked blue flames," Ron said
Hearing this, something clicked to Hermione, and she asked, "What kind of spell was that? And why did you call that dementor as 'Bastard child of Ekrizdis'?"
"Those flames were from a spell I am trying to learn (A.N. Magical troll ear-wax cookies to anyone who guesses it correctly in the comments). It is one of the few which works on those dammed things. As for your other question? It is a basic tactic we use in zoology. Every creature that exists reacts to its creator's name. It is theorised Ekrizdis, the most twisted dark wizard of all times, was the one who created these dementors on the island where Azkaban stands during one of his bouts of madness. I just tried to use the same technique there, and the fact that the dementor reacted to it confirms that Ekrizdis has something to do with them at least, even if he did not create them" (A.N. it is a true theory) Naruto informed them
"Hold on a sec! I thought Voldemort was the darkest wizard of all time?" Harry asked, clearly confused, while his other two friends nodded, agreeing with him.
"Hahaha… you're all quite wrong in your assumptions" Naruto chuckled at them. Though he continued, so they do not misunderstand, "Although, you are not the one to blame here. People have formed some stereotypes in the past decade or two. Ekrizdis was a wizard who loved to see others in pain just for fun, be it a wizard or muggle, man or woman, and even children were not out of his reach. It is believed that his experiments were so cruel that they made the cruciatus curse look like a tickle. It is also the reason he is known as the most twisted dark wizard of all times."
Hearing Naruto, their blood ran cold, and Ron exclaimed, "Merlin's beard! So why don't more people know about him?"
"He is not the only one. There have been countless wizards/witches who were as bad if not worse than Ekrizdis. Many of them are lost to time and exist just as rumours and myths. However, it is said that even rumours and myths are based on some truth to a degree. Nowadays, people don't know the difference between criminals and dark wizards. A dark wizard enjoys other's pain and can go to any limits to gain power. Whereas criminal wizards are just criminals, they are not dark wizards. Take Grindelwald for example. He was not a dark wizard, just evil. His goal was to gain peace between the muggle and wizarding world, even through supremacy. At most, he can be considered a terrorist. It is the same for spells too, like Avada kedavra for example, it is not a dark spell, just forbidden due to its extreme nature, and on the opposite side, cruciatus is a dark spell due to its torturing nature," he explained to them
(A.N. Understand that Hermione and Harry have known the wizarding world for only two years. And while Hermione knows more than Harry, her knowledge is mainly restricted to books. As for the Weasleys, they are influenced by the stereotypes discussed previously)
As the trio absorbed this new information, it was clear to them that they did not know many things about the world they were living in. After few minutes, Hermione asked, "So why does you-know-who is regarded as the darkest wizard of all times? You just said that even rumours are built on some truth."
"Hehehe… You catch on quick!" Naruto chuckled humourlessly and continued, "It is the stereotype playing its role there again. People misunderstand 'darkest wizard of all time' to 'strongest dark wizard of all time'. While Voldemort is powerful in his own rights, his power lies in manipulation. He gained the title of 'darkest' because he could turn many wizards/witches dark. Your loyal friend can be Voldemort's follower tomorrow. He is the only dark wizard in history to be able to gain many followers, death-eaters. If just raw power is considered, then Dumbledore is the only one who can trounce him. But Voldy is very slippery with a slimy brain which allows him to live longer."
He let all the revelation sink in, and he noticed that they were about to reach Hogwarts and stood up. "Well, don't fret over these things. It's not like you will be facing any of these darks anytime soon. Just try to keep an open view about everything you see and hear from now on. We just reached Hogwarts. I will see you in the great hall."
I think Azkaban was too cruel for every punishment, and I felt like the line between normal and dark wizards is too sharp as even Hagrid was sent to Azkaban when he was just under suspicion and was a kid at the time.
