London 1977

That crazy stunt has left me exhausted. After my surrounding returned to silence, I begin to think again what just happened. Was my anger and need for vengeance override my needs for survival? Maybe it's been too long in the void that I am not afraid of immediate death since I will be going right back into that void again?

I mean it's not wrong and I didn't care about the backlash. I just going to return to the void again. However, it's not all that bad since my impulsiveness might contribute to my survival rate.

There's a chance those dark wizards would've just left my parents' body there. We're still at war since Voldy hasn't met his "end" against the Potter family and maybe it would've been less of a hassle. However, I think there is a bigger chance that they would get rid of the bodies before they left. The Statute of Secrecy is an important aspect of the wizarding world. Whether you're a dark wizard or not. Unless you're Grindelwald that is.

I think my chance of surviving now increased. Although it is still too close to zero that it's practically zero.

Compared to other fictive works that I've read, this is a rather good world to get reincarnated into. Furthermore, I don't know when I will get reincarnated again, if at all, after I died and go back to that dark void. If possible, I want to stay here in this world for a while.

Regardless, it is possible that the Aurors and other hit wizards will come to the aftermath. Sooner rather than later. Let's hope so…

However, do I leave it to chance and possibilities? What if the hit wizards never come?

Decision… decision…

If I just stay here and let the Aurors take care of me, it will be easy on the explanation part, because I don't have to. But there's also a possibility that the Aurors didn't check the infant condition and just take care of the bodies right away. That would be game over. Another possibility is that the Death Eaters reinforcement came here first. Another game over.

If I left now, it will be hard because I need to cover all my traces. Because there's just no way an infant can wander about let alone escape Death Eaters encirclement. That and also I haven't thought about the means to escape here too. And if somehow somebody noticed, it would be very hard to explain.

Stay and leave it to fate..

Or try to escape from here..

Let's just YOLO it. My live is my own, no need to leaave it to possibilities. I need to escape now.

I remembered that there are multiple dark wizards that ambushed my parents. Considering the amount of force, there is a possibility that my parents are people of status, or power. But the mudblood slur coming from these dark wizards significantly reduce the possibility of my parents being pureblood wizards. Regardless, a man can try.

'Do I have a house elf?'

I relay my intention through the ambient mana in my surroundings.

After concluding my hypothesis. I think there is a possibility that our family has a house elf.

'House elf, to me!'

But there's still no respond after a while… Oh just great…

Even if my parents seem to be great wizards, we don't have a house elf bound to our family. Even so, it was worth the try.

'help me relay this'

I willed to the world around me, no one in particular, hoping that the ambient mana around me will help me again just like with the previous stunt. I concluded this phenomenon based on what happened in HP movie. When Harry creates accidental magic through sheer will.

'I am a wizard, and currently servantless. Even though I have nothing on me now, I will give a generous reward in the future to any house elf willing to serve me. That's a wizard promise'

I declared and waited, but nothing came.

Oh well... it's more likely that I'll go to the void again then...

But immediately after that, I heard the familiar sound of a house elf apparating near me.

Pop!

The house elf immediately kneeled and bowed. It's a male house elf, I think.

"Creek is willing to serve the AH! DEAD BODIES!"

The house elf began his speech until he noticed dead wizards littering the alley. The frightened elf immediately backed off. Clearly afraid and surprised.

"Creek hasn't done no wrong sir. Creek will leave now"

no no no

I don't have any way of communicating except the one I just did with the ambient mana around me.

This time though, I focused and willed my mana to pour right into the frightened elf, hoping that I get an immediate response before he goes disapparating from here.

'wait!'

the elf staggered and stopped in his track, noticing that no one spoke to him.

"Is the great tummy wizard speaking to Creek just now?" The elf's facial expression turns into that of confusion looking at the bulging stomach of my mother.

This is probably the first time that an infant wizard is capable of this much power.

"Is tummy wizard sir the one who called for service?"

'I did. Are you willing?'

"Creek is willing to serve the great tummy wizard sir!"

In a short span of time, the newly arrived house elf's expression has turned from eagerness, fright, confusion, and now back to eagerness again. It was a funny sight if one ever saw that.

'please do not call me tummy wizard. My name is...'

Okay first of all I don't know if my parents have already given me a name yet. Even if they did, I don't have a way to know that name. Not in the immediate future. I also don't know what my family name is. Furthermore, using my parents' surname will bring trouble. The dark wizards will target me to tie the loose ends. People will ask questions too.

'...My name is Isaac Balthasar'

sound wizard enough and I'm sure it's not one of the current wizarding family names.

"Creek hear and obey master Baltysar sir"

'Oh whatever, we will do the pact later. I'm magically exhausted and in no condition to do that. Consider this as a test'

"Master Baltysar don't need to worry sir. Creek will pass the test"

A look of determination can be seen in the elf's eyes.

'help me bring this body to a muggle hospital. And keep yourself hidden'

"Creek hear and obey"

Pop!

The house elf apparated us to a hospital nearest to the alley. I can't go to a wizarding hospital for previous reasons. The dark wizards will surely target me. I'm confident I can go against them later in my life but currently, my age is basically in the negative. I need time.

Creek seems competent enough that at least he knows about the statute of secrecy, evident by the fact that there is no witness of our arrival. Hopefully, some nurse or doctor will notice us.

"Ah! How did she get here? Doctor!" I heard a nurse call for help. It was not too long of a wait and I was thankful for that.

The doctor examined the bulging stomach and concluded the need of immediate operation to rescue the baby.

'I can rest for a bit now.' I thought to myself before letting my body rest and unconsciousness taking over. I need to preserve my energy.

The first thing I see after I wake up is no longer the familiar darkness.

'Finally there's light again' I noticed that there is also no doctor or nurse in the room. A very convenient situation for me.

'Creek!' I called out my soon-to-be house elf

Pop!

And in no time, he appears and answering my call.

"Master Baltysar sir?" the elf asked waiting for instructions

'Can you obliviate the memory of my nurses and doctors since they found us?'

not for the statute of secrecy, it is rather to cover my tracks since there is a possibility the Aurors using legilimency on them after learning the suspicious event in here.

"Master sir? Creek and other house elves can't do refined wizard magic"

I see, though their magic is more primal and raw. And also more powerful, arguably.

Can't be helped then...

'Can you identify my family signature magic and trace where my parents lived? Or do we have to do the pact first?' I asked the house elf

Since my immediate need for survival is already somewhat solved, I need to gather magical supplies. Magic tomes and spell books so I can prepare myself before Hogwarts called.

Hopefully one of them is about occlumency. I don't want the old hat to look into my mind.

"Creek can master sir" the elf replied

'Alright then, put me in a blanket. And don't forget my bottle of milk too'

I need to do this now. There is a high chance this is the only time I can do this before Hogwarts. I also need to do this quickly before the Aurors come.

Pop!

.

.

.

Back to the previous alley, multiple wizards in dark robes and wands ready at hand began to appear.

"This... check if someone's still alive!"

Someone from the group ordered, clearly one of higher ranks. His subordinates immediately move to action and start checking the bodies using their wands.

"Negative sir"

"Here too"

"I think it's too late sir"

The Aurors found out the truth as guessed. They just need reassurance in case someone is still alive.

"Appare Vestigium!"

"Prior Incantato!"

The leader of the group cast the spells in succession. The effect shown by those spells is clearly far above the norm. Echoes begin to appear and the crime scene was reconstructed.

Everyone immediately got disgusted by the behavior of their fellow "Auror's" shown in the scene.

Though some of them have faked expressions. Clearly also evident by the crime scene, there are dark wizards among the Auror ranks.

However, all those expressions, whether fake or not, turn into real horror when the chilling grey mist appears.

The magical imagery ended abruptly.

"Sir?"

The leader staggered. He has joined the war for a while but this is the first time he saw something like this.

"Fall back. Do not engage."

He shows his wand to his subordinates. The wand is slowly disintegrating and turned to dust.

"This is beyond the means of Voldemort"

Even though it is an inanimate object, peeking at that spell residue is enough to "kill" this wand.

"One dark lord is already enough, we're not ready to fight on two fronts. We need to reassess our situation"
