Chapter 121 - Second Year (VII) & (Preparations & Rituals)
[POV Reo(Edgar)]
Well, I chatted enough about the stuff going on political side and business side. Well, Dora is still busy with her Auror training and won't be able to come back to get a leave until she completes her training. Well, she regularly texts and calls us at night after her training ends but honestly, I still miss her… with just a few weeks she kind of grew a place in my heart. I don't know if this fast-paced training would do any good to her… at least Amelia also thinks that this would be waste of time… as nothing like this should be half-baked.
No matter, as soon as she finishes her Auror training and joins the rank of Aurors I will ask Rumi to handle Dora's training. Nemuri would have been my first choice if Dora wasn't already corrupted enough into the world of depravity. No matter how much I love either Nemuri or Dora I still don't want two Nemuris in my harem… it would be too much for me to handle.
In these 4 months both Momo and Rumi had completed their Animagus training and now they can freely transform. At first, I felt slightly bad that I didn't have a talent for this particular skill but now it doesn't matter to me any longer. I found it to be a quite problem to manage all the powers I already had even with my pirated version of Zenkai Boost.
Firstly Magnetokinesis, I have mastered almost everything I could have related to this power. Force Field (Aegis Shield) done, Control Gravity done, well, I can already pull the shit Pain did and I can move the tectonic plates as I want but I don't want to cause mass destruction and death so I let it be at this moment. Next is absorbing and creating electricity… I have also mastered that long ago. Metal morphing is also done, I can easily morph any metal into any form of my liking.
Black Holes and Portals are also done with but seriously I don't have the courage to jump inside one of them to find out if my portal is working or not. Some, would say that I am a pussy for not having courage but I call it bullshit. I am having a Happy Life with my loves of my life even with these missions so please forgive me if I don't want to stick out my neck unnecessarily… I would happily say No Thank You!! It's not like I don't have other means of travel…
The Electromagnetic Spectrum Manipulation… the well is this shitty long and dangerous name. Well, this power is also the most dangerous ability of Magnetokinesis. After all it have to do stuff with electromagnetic radiation and I don't want to drabble with anything related to radiation. Again, this power has the high priority of me kicking the bucket while mastering the powers. So, I decided to ignore this topic. Yes, I know that I might have to use this power sometime and would regret not mastering it now but I ain't taking chances with my happy life.
Now, Law of Lightning, from what I have researched along with Momo that I haven't even scratched the surface of my powers. Currently I have only mastered lightning armour, transforming my whole body into lightning… with this I can avoid physical attacks but I am not so lucky with magical attacks after all if stinging hex can hit me then AK can also. The next power is converting my whole body into lighting and teleporting or traveling at the speed of lightning. Well, that's just it…
Since I was already done with my Parseltongue I invested these 4 months into ritual that would forcefully sever a familiar's bond with its master without harming the either. I needing to prepare this because I knew that Dark Mort had entered the Chambers and used the basilisk to kill Mrytle and petrify students. So, I wasn't sure that if there was a connection or not… you should always make extra preparations if you know that things could go really awry.
I had only two projects in the time period of these 4 months. First one was the ritual and second, I looking for anything that could rid of a Phoenix. I gave up training new powers and concentrated mastering all the powers I currently had up to a subconscious level. And these 4 months finally gave me a fruit… I found a way to kill a Phoenix, permanently but the ritual is so sick that I decided to hide the book so that the girls don't ever find this book. I have read several dark and evil rituals with variation of sacrifices like virgin women and all but this one was the sickest ritual I have read… I locked my every strand of memory related to that ritual in a trunk made of Vibranium and stowed it away in a corner of my mind.
I also find a way to prevent Phoenix bypassing wards, well this was quite simple if you ask me. You just need to draw a ritual circle using bone dust… any kind of bone dust could be used. I would happily use bone dust to ward my castle and other properties… even if I had to murder innocents to get the bone dust it would still be a lot less evil than the ritual I needed to use to kill a Phoenix, permanently.
(A/N: Guys, I don't exactly remember the name of the fanfic where I read about a ritual about how to kill a Phoenix permanently. I am so glad that I don't remember the name of the fanfic. I still regret that against my better judgement I continued reading it. It was so disgusting and so many levels that I seriously consider the mental condition of the author. I hope none of you find that fanfic ever if it's still on
The point is, I honestly don't think that ritual to kill a Phoenix permanently could be anything not sick and disgusting)
Now with the ritual prepared to sever the connection between familiar and its master, I only had to wait for Ol Twinkles to leave the castle. Momo had found several monitoring and alarm charms in front of the entrance. Now, it was quite clear that Fumbledork already knew the entrance of Chamber of Secrets, I kind of suspect that he might have even known Tommy boy entering there and releasing the Slytherin's beast in this castle but if I had to consider this then Ol Twinkles made what Tommy Boy has become now.
I know what happened between him and Gellert Grindelwald and I have dug up lots of stuff with help of Rita. Rita was shaking in her boots and she nearly fainted when she found out what kind of chaos she could built with this story. Well, I happy for the bug. Now, back on the topic, what I found wasn't nice at all. If I put everything in order then Ol Twinkles knowingly sent Gellert Grindelwald down the path of Dark Lord and waited for the moment when everyone would come begging to him to act.
That is exactly what has happened here Ol Twinkles hid inside Hogwarts while war was raging outside. When everyone went begging to him to act he still waited. Only when Gellert has already lost his army and the muggle side of war has already ended Dumbles decided to take some action.
So, it was pretty clear what happened here, and I have to say, Rita might be a bug but she really has some guts. After she found out that Bumbledork didn't kill his dear ex-boyfriend Gellert Grindelwald and has stowed him away in Nurmengard the prison Grindelwald had built himself, Rita gathered her courage and went to take an interview. Gellert Grindelwald was too happy to reveal every secret he knew about Ol Twinkles, and what we had found from Grindelwald definitely pointed in the direction that Ol Twinkles made Grindelwald a Dark Lord so he could defeat him and gain political power.
Now, with all this new information, I was quite sure that dear old Tommy also must have been manipulated by the old goat. Rita researched everything she was able to get her hands on. She got into the archives of Daily Prophet, they had every record of unedited or uncut articles there that had been written since the year of 1945. The year in which Daily Prophet was established after Gellert Grindelwald was defeated. She dug up everything article she could get her hands on and found that it was true… it was Ol twinkles who allowed Tommy boy to rise. For now, Rita was preparing her biggest hit with all this stuff she had…
The days kept passing in a blink of an eye before it was already the last day of 2nd year was already over. I was casually sitting in the roof of astronomy tower. In the story Harry used to come here to clear his mind and from what I have found it works… it seriously works. Today was the best chance to visit the Chamber of Secrets as Ol Twinkles was visiting and ICW meeting. Amelia had gathered the information from some of her friends that the meeting was something related to Tri-Wizard tournament. And Ol Twinkles was only invited because he was the current Headmaster of Hogwarts. He bypassed Nemuri's authority in this matter, and I myself stopped Nemuri from acting now.
Apparently, there was something different about this tournament and I think that it is starting too soon but Amelia wasn't able to gather any more information regarding that matter as it was hush-hush. I blinked and a huge vicious grin appeared on my face as I felt Ol Twinkles leave through the floo. I got up and stretched my body.
"Lets go and meet my new familiar" I said to myself and got down from the tower…
Chapter 122 - Second Year (End) & Attila
[POV Reo(Edgar)]
After seeing that Ol Twinkles left the ground I quickly made my way towards the Ravenclaw dorms but I didn't need to reach there as I met Momo, Rumi & Luna in the way. They are also connected with the wards so they must have felt Ol Twinkles leave the Hogwarts' Grounds. I wasn't worried about Luna… I am damn sure that she won't betray my trust.
"Did you get everything?" I asked looking towards Momo.
"Yes, everything is ready" Momo said while gesturing towards the satchel she was carrying.
"Edgar can I come too?" Luna asked in a cheerful voice while she had a goofy grin on her face.
"Do you know what we are going to do?" before I could say anything Rumi asked Luna curiously.
"Oh, yes. You are going to tame the Slytherin's beast. I wonder if you could find some other creatures there" Luna said as a matter of fact while nodding her head sagely. Rumi just nodded her head and backed away. Both me and Momo also decided no to care about this anymore.
"Then let's go!" I said mimicking an army officer. Luna giggled while Momo started chuckle and Rumi started to follow me with a gentle smile on her face.
The four of us quickly arrived in the girl's loo on second floor. The ghost of Moaning Mrytle came to greet us but when we said that we are going to take care of the creature that killed her, she immediately became happy and offered us her spot to share if we die. Luna happily thanked the ghost while Myrtle only received a dry reply from the rest of us.
Rumi and me got near the sink while Momo casted every ward that could repel a wizard on the door so that we don't get disturbed in our endeavour. Me and Rumi quickly removed all the monitoring and alarm charms that were placed near the sink by Ol Twinkles. It took us about 9 minutes to completely nullify all the charms.
"Well that's done… so what's the password?" Rumi said huffing after we finished removing the charm.
(A/N: I am gonna use for Parseltounge)
Open I hissed at the sink and the sink opened wide making a gateway. The four of us peered down and found a slide filled with filth and grime.
"No! No, there is no way in hell that I way going down on that!" Momo turned towards me and said with a stern face. This meant no nonsense or else…
I had already thought of this before as if the slide was only way then Ginerva Weasly who was possessed by Tommy Boy would not be able to come back up. So, I decided to try something.
Stairs I hissed and this actually worked as the stairs formed.
They were still filled with filth and grime but it was way better than the slide. Luna was about to head inside while skipping but I decided to stop her to which Luna pouted cutely but stayed behind me. I pulled out my wand and casted lumos to light up the stairs. The girls followed my lead and all four of us started to descend. We finally arrived at the bottom and found a damp and dirt filled room. The room was littered with skeletons of small animals.
"I expected a lot more from the legendary Chamber of secrets" Rumi said in a disappointed voice.
"This isn't the Chamber of Secrets, it's down this path" Luna said pointing towards some drag marks. Wow… she is definitely observant of her surroundings.
I followed the drag marks on the ground with the girls following me from behind and finally arrived in front of the main opening of the Chamber. The glinting jewels that the eyes of the carved snakes guarding the entrance made it easy for us to recognize that this was the real one. I again hissed in front of the gates which made the doors slide open and finally grant us access to the Chamber of Secrets. Me and Momo used our wands and casted several light orbs that started to float around the room lighting up the room brilliantly. The lights when glowed around we finally found the snake statues and statue of Salazar Slytherin himself.
"Marvellous" Momo whispered and started to look at the statues. Its true, watching it in the movie and real life is completely different experience. We found a basilisk skin about thirty feet long lying on a side near a statue. We looked around for sometime looking for a secret room or something similar. Unfortunately, there wasn't anything in this room. Luna was disappointed that she didn't find anything to write about in Quibbler but quickly became happy when she remembered that she still had to meet the basilisk.
The three of us nodded to each other and started to draw the ritual circle on the ground. Luna looked as us with awed expression for a few minutes before she skipped around the room and started to draw sketches of the statues in the room. It took us quite some time to completely prepare the ritual circle. After that was done, we decided to check everything before letting the basilisk out. After the checks were done, and we confirmed that everything was perfect we decided to call the basilisk. The girls hid behind the statues while I went in front of the statue of Salazar Slytherin and took a deep breath.
Speak to me, Slytherin, Greatest of Hogwarts Four I hissed at the statue and statue's mouth opened wide making a huge path. I had to hold myself back from taking a peek down.
Food… Master… Kill… a voice came from inside and slithering sound could be heard. I knew it was the basilisk and didn't want to risk my life and immediately backed away and hid behind a statue. Basilisk's voice kept getting louder and louder until I knew it was completely out. I peeked and saw the basilisk was still getting out of the mouth of Salazar Slytherin. The basilisk kept mumbling the words about food, master and need to kill. I gave the signal to Momo who nodded and activated the ritual circle.
The basilisk hissed or screeched loudly in pain and started to trash around. Just after a few seconds everything calmed down and the basilisk went completely quiet.
Come out! I can smell you! the snake hissed. Looks like it got back its sanity.
Momo and Rumi looked at with uncertainty while Luna looked quite excited.
I can't, I will die with your stare I hissed back.
I know, that's why I have closed my partial eyelid, now nothing will happen if you look at my eyes. You have my gratitude… you broke me out of that monster's grasp the basilisk hissed back. I finally gathered some courage and stepped out from behind the shadow and found the basilisk was looking directly at me.
Speaker, you have thanks, you broke the forceful bond between me and one Thomas Marvolo Riddle. He made me kill a student and petrify others while Salazar placed me here to keep the school safe as its last defence the basilisk hissed bowing down its huge head in front of me. Now, that I have seen it from front… its easily 80 feet.
By this time the girls have come out of hiding and Luna had already started to pat the basilisk. The basilisk seemed to like the attention.
Speaker, I need to head outside to get some food. I have not eaten anything in last 70 years the basilisk seemed to whine. But, honestly, I can't let this out anywhere near the school grounds.
I am afraid you cannot, there are students outside the grounds and I don't want an accident and you could be hunted down I hissed back. The basilisk looked devasted.
But, I haven't been outside for so long… its soo boring in here the basilisk hissed again. Luna was still hatting the basilisk.
I can get a safe place for you but you need to form a familiar bond with me, you can roam there freely and hunt as you wish I hissed to the basilisk. The basilisk seemed to think for few seconds before nodding its huge head. Momo handed me a nice rune etched knife which I used to slice my hand. As soon as the blood flowed, I placed my hand on top of the basilisk's head. A faint glow surrounded both me and the basilisk and felt a bond form between me and the basilisk.
What's your name? I asked the basilisk.
Salazar always called me Miss Snakey the basilisk said proudly, I immediately understood that Salazar's naming name was shit. But I was completely bewildered that the basilisk was a female.
You are a female? You are so huge I blurted out unknowingly.
That's rude… I will let you know, I am beautiful and majestic Miss Snakey hissed at me looking slightly offended.
I am sorry, it was rude of me. So, can I give you a new name? I asked the basilisk and I refused to called her Miss Snakey.
You can, after all you are my new master the basilisk hissed her answer.
I thought for a few seconds before I decided to her name. Attila, I name you Attila, do you like it? I asked the basilisk.
I like it! The name is perfect for my status Attila said proudly and nodded her huge head.
After that out of the way, I asked Momo to give me the portkey which I had prepared beforehand to send Attila back in Castle Ravenclaw. I placed the portkey on her and after telling her that this was going to be unpleasant, I activated it and Attila was whisked away. I called Dixy and Lipsy to take care of Attila. For the next three hours we continued looking around the chamber but didn't find anything so with that we finally decided to head back. With that Second Year was also over…
Chapter 123 - Wizard's Duel (I)
[Inside Nott Manor]
A crowd was gathered inside a huge meeting room and even some amateur would be able to tell that everyone gathered here were pureblood supremacists to the core. If someone like Amelia Bones or Alastor Moody would take a look inside here then they would find that every one present in this room has claimed the Imperious Defence. But the topic of the meeting not a good one… it was completely clear with the atmosphere in the room.
"We need to do something about this and quick!" Amycus Carrow decided to say when he saw that the entire room was silent and was sulking even before they were speaking. A lot of Family Heads nodded their head in agreement with Amycus.
"Yes, we know, but we need to be careful with this too" Lord Smith said from the other side of the table. He wasn't a Death Eater but he was a pureblood supremacist to the core along with his family. After all, they still pride themselves to have a connection with Helga Hufflepuff. Of course, their they weren't direct descendants so they weren't able to claim ownership of Hogwarts like the Ravenclaws.
Yes, if there was a direct descendant of Hufflepuff line then the Ravenclaws would have to share Hogwarts with them Both Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff would have half control over it.
"But time is the one thing we don't have Lord Smith" Lord Parkinson said hearing Lord Smith's argument. Yes, he agreed that they needed to bide their time to gather more information but time was the one thing that they didn't have.
"I completely agree with Lord Parkinson here, time is the one thing we don't have. In last three years how much have we lost? And just think how much are we losing by each passing moment… if this keeps going on then then within next year we would be nothing" Lord Nott spoke for the first time. His voice was solemn and filled with venom at the same time.
"So, what are we going to do now?" Walden Macnair asked.
At this moment this was the most important question and no one expected Macnair to ask such an important question. The problem was they can't attack the factories as they have found out that none of the factories could be found. Some of them even forgot the location of those factories which Ravenclaws took over during the debt collection. They only had the location of shops and store and no matter what they can't destroy them openly after all the glory days were gone when they would openly kill, , torture, and destroy. There wasn't a Dark Lord this time after all.
Even if they attacked the shops, they would gain nothing as each store was run by max of five muggleborns or half-blood wizards. Yes, if they attacked all the stores and destroyed them then it would have been a great blow to the Ravenclaws but the problem was that they can't do that as they didn't a huge force to attack in such coordination and a few months ago those damn Ravenclaws with their Merlin-damned alliance had passed a bill that would shopkeepers to retaliate with lethal force if someone attacks them, no matter who the attackers are.
This bill was a sour topic for everyone in the room, they had heard some previous report that no matter how nonchalant, perverted or aloof Lady Ravenclaw looked she was a vicious politician and knew how bend her words to get something done when needed. But they were wrong… as Lady Ravenclaw might have spoken those words but they were taught her by someone else.
When the bill was introduced all of them were completely livid all of them were thinking the same thing. 'How dare she take our right, right we get being a pureblood from us?'. But the argument Lady Ravenclaw gave shut them up as if anyone of them had protested then they would openly be insulting themselves and there was no way in hell that their ego would let them do it.
Lady Ravenclaw's words were 'I know upstanding and respectful citizens like you would never do anything like this, I am doing this because of thieves and other degenerates. All of the respectable members would be visiting these shops from time to time, we can't lower our standards, right?' It didn't need someone with three-digit iq to figure out what she was pointing at. And with this bill passed Lady Ravenclaw donated a huge sum of money to Madame Bones for her Department. So, the bill was passed and here they were unable to attack the shops.
"We need to attack the Ravenclaws directly, filthy mud blood scums don't know their standing in this world. They are the centre of that filthy alliance of blood-traitors" Alecto Carrow spat in blinding rage.
No one in the room disagreed with her, for them it was true as Ravenclaws were the easiest target and if they were able to kill them then the alliance they had made would collapse on their own. Yes, the factor that muggleborns were able to claim the Lordship of such a prestigious family was another blow to their pureblood ego.
"I have been making a plan since last 6 months regarding this matter and last week I have finally found a solution" Lord Nott said in a smug voice and leaned down on the table.
"So, what is it? Be out with it" Yaxley said impatiently. Everyone else in the room shared his emotions as they were also interested in hearing the plan.
"Let's say if we send a letter of challenge to Lady Ravenclaw saying that I or someone else in this room is wishing to challenge her to an wizards duel…" Lord Nott was saying but he was cut off by Lord Parkinson impatiently.
"Yes, we all know that but we all know that she has the Lady ring which gives her magic" Lord Parkinson said.
"Are you scared of girl now?" Jugson mocked Lord Parkinson and a shouting match began between Lord Parkinson and Jugson. Finally, unable to hold back Lord Nott silenced the room and began to tell his plan again.
"Yes, we would challenge her but we would be adding a small clause about being a man and accept challenge. If she accepts then instead of her the challenge will pass onto 2nd year student Edgar Ravenclaw. I have heard that Vicky Ravenclaw loves her family lets see… what happens when she loses one" Lord Nott finished with a vicious smile on his face. Now, everyone in the room was smiling viciously.
"I don't want to ruin the fun… but they could reject the challenge" Lord Smith said, hearing him some of the group nodded their heads as they too agreed with him.
"That would be a welcome result too, as all of we know, wizarding duels are not issued lightly and if you reject a challenge then you lose your image and honour. If Vicky Ravenclaw rejects the challenge then she loses her honour and I can say with guarantee that it would throw their alliance down an internal power struggle" Lord Parkinson said in a happy voice as he was already seeing all this happen in his mind.
"That would make implode them on their own" Lord Nott finished while nodding their head.
"So, who is going to challenge Vicky Ravenclaw" Walden Macnair asked an important question again. After a few seconds of silence completely passed everyone turned their eyes towards Lord Nott who was already holding a letter in his hands.
"It would be me of course, after all I was the one who made the plan" Lord Nott said with a toothy grin, nobody in the room rebutted him. Yes, anyone to defeat Ravenclaw family in a wizarding duel would gain some respect but they decided to sit back and watch the show for the moment.
With the decision done Lord Nott send the owl with the letter of challenge and other letter to Daily Prophet to let them know about the challenge after all they can't let this matter get buried.
[In an Unknown Island] [POV Reo(Edgar)]
I looked at both of my sides and a huge goofy grin appeared on my face. After all, won't have a goofy grin if you would be getting a tan with your lovers on a private beach where all of you could be completely naked so that no tan marks are there.
Currently there were only five people on this island. Me, obviously, Momo, Rumi, Nemuri, and Dora who finished her training just a week ago and became a full-fledged Junior Auror. She came to the island via portkey the day before yesterday. After the day I came back from Hogwarts I decided to spend some gold and brought this small island near Costa Rica. After buying the island me and Momo spent about five days to completely ward this island and made it completely unplottable. So, now owls would be able to find us here but that could be a problem so we decided to take mail box from Gringotts who were happy to provide their services… with a discount this time because our business was flourishing which meant their own accounts were flourishing too.
Suddenly the mail box vibrated and Momo pulled out the letter without care. We weren't worried about curses or something on them as the letter came through Gringotts and in Gringotts they took their jobs seriously, no matter what. Momo opened the letter and with an amused smile she handed the letter to Nemuri. Nemuri read out the letter out loud and she found it really stupid that they thought that she wouldn't find out that if she accepted the challenge Reo would be the one fighting. Of course, we knew wizarding people were stupid what more do you expect from them.
"So, what do you say?" Nemuri asked me.
"Accept it what else, I should make an example of Lord Nott after all. It's a rare chance to kill a Lord legally and get away" I said with a gentle smile on my face…
Chapter 124 - Wizard's Duel (II)
Just like Lord Nott has assumed the news about the Wizard's duel hit the Magical Britain like a thump. Most people were happy that the Ravenclaws were being pegged down. No, matter how friendly they behaved a lot of families even the Greengrass didn't like them as they have also lost a huge amount of financial resources to pay back the debts they owed the Ravenclaw family.
But for someone like Amelia Bones who knew exactly who Edgar Ravenclaw was, was preparing for another shit storm but she was so glad that this time Edgar was going to kill someone legally that meant she wasn't going to land herself in the heap of dragon dung. She would just sit in the audience and watch how easily Edgar Ravenclaw defeats Lord Nott and later she would enjoy a glass of premium Sherry. Yes, it was a happy day for her…
News about the acceptance of the duel was also published and only this time it was openly written that it would be 2nd year Edgar Ravenclaw who was going to fight. Yes, Edgar's 2nd has finished but his 3rd-year classes didn't start so he was still a 2nd year. Some were already sure that Ravenclaws were going to lose a family member as no one with a sane mind would ever think that a 2nd-year student could defeat a fully grown and experienced wizard.
Narcissa was immediately worried and send a letter to the Ravenclaws, she knew that if Ravenclaws were going to be taken out then she would have to go back to her previous life. After all, Narcissa was a business woman not a fighter and she had no delusions that she would be able to fight everyone who was opposing her on her own.
But the Greengrass side of the alliance was quite happy with the development, they were opportunist through and through. They don't like the Ravenclaws because of them they lost a lot of money but they weren't going to act on it themselves as they were business partners now. They decided to show that they supported Ravenclaws and after the Ravenclaws lose they would get everything they could get from the alliance and they would try their best to become the leader. Yes, it would be quite hard with Amelia Bones and Sirius Black there but it won't be a loss to at least try.
Sirius and Harry also got worried but they were reassured by both Vicky and Amelia that it would be completely fine. Sirius wasn't stupid… he exactly knew what would happen if the Ravenclaws lost. Their well-built alliance would implode because of internal struggle. But he also knew that something was up as he knew Amelia wasn't delusional as she would think that a 2nd year would win against Lord Nott, he knew something was going on.
The news of Ravenclaws inviting the ICW to officiate the duel was the next best news. The Minister in other was Cornelius was angry on this as he believed that no one should contact ICW without his own permission. But now, he can't do anything as ICW was going to take the lead and the duel would take place between Lord Nott and Edgar Ravenclaw in an ICW assigned arena. But before any of that could happen there was going to be a meeting between Lord Nott and Edgar Ravenclaw on a neutral ground assigned by the ICW to decide the terms of the duel.
[POV Reo(Edgar)]
"Tell me, why I am dressed in these robes? Fuck! This is so heavy" I whined as Momo and Nemuri were setting up my regal robes. I looked like a fucking peacock… I hated this at so many levels that I could outright kill Nott today and be done with it.
"Stop whining, like a baby and let us get you dressed" Momo said in a forceful voice. Well, I did only one thing I could do at the moment… I surrendered as I clearly knew that I couldn't win against Momo.
Yes, there was only one person to blame for this, Lord Nott. Yes, I would enjoy killing him. Today, we were going to meet Lord Nott on a neutral ground arranged by the ICW so that we could publicly decide the terms of the duel. I already knew what I wanted, I wanted his seat on Wizengamot and bring it into the Ravenclaw family. That would mean that we would have two votes from our family. But if I demand that then he would be able to set the spell bans and winning condition. Not, that I cared… if he chooses unforgivables then it's good for me and its pretty sure that he would try to kill me no matter what.
After, a few minutes the girls were finally done and I looked like a black-haired Draco Malfoy who forgot to smear his hair with hair products. At least I won't strut around like a peacock no matter what. It took nearly 2 hours for Momo and Nemuri to get ready. Throughout this whole ordeal Dora was sniggering looking at me so from time to time I had to send a stinging hex at her and that would make her glare at me.
"Aww… don't be like that… are you angry? Don't worry auntie Dora will make it go away" Dora said in a baby voice.
"Yeah, right. The clumsiest person on whole earth is bragging" I said with a blank face.
"It's not my fault that every piece of furniture wants to hurt me" Dora said with an embarrassed look on her face.
"But you get tripped on a flat floor" Rumi said dryly. Tonks just glared at Rumi while pouting. Finally, everyone was ready to leave and I had given Dora a separate portkey, after all, I don't want to announce my relationship with Dora on this stage. Dora would be beside Amelia while I would be discussing the terms. Soon after Dora used her portkey… I also used my portkey and was whisked away. The four of us found ourselves inside the ministry atrium and a crowd was already gathered in between. So, this was the neutral place they decided to hold our meeting. Well, not that I cared…
I looked around and saw that Lord Nott was already there and was waiting among the other families that were opposing us in the Wizengamot. Soon a man in shiny blue robes who had an ICW logo on his uniform came to me introduced himself and asked me if I was ready to have the meeting. I agreed and the same was happening with Lord Nott, as I could see another ICW agent was talking with him. Both of us were brought to the center of the room. The crowd was filled with journalists, Aurors, Ministry officials and almost every head of the family was here. I also saw Ol Twinkles here… he was chatting up an old geezer in ICW robes.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Lord Nott but I could only wish that it could be under some better circumstances" I decided to speak first, the whole crowd became silent after hearing me. After all, my greeting was a manner of mocking and everyone was now waiting to see how Lord Nott would react.
The sneer Lord Nott had on his face deepened heavily. "This is why muggle-borns shouldn't be allowed in our society. They don't even have the common courtesy to show respect to their betters" Lord Nott said with clear disgust in his voice.
"Yeah sure geezer… can we get this over with" I said nonchalantly. The whole crowd gasped hearing me. Lord Nott looked murderous, if glares could kill I would have burned to ashes long ago. I know that I shouldn't do this but it was funny to see him boil like this… if he attacks now, he would lose by default after all.
"I won't be reacting to your taunts they are beneath me, these clearly shows how much you have disgraced the name of the Ravenclaw family. Since I have issued the challenge you can choose either the terms or the stake" Lord Nott said and his sneer was gone with complete loathing.
"Stake old man… I want your Wizengamot seat" I said and the crowd gasped again. Fudge the moron immediately came running ng while sputtering.
"That can't happen… I won't allow this" Fudge finally uttered an intelligent sentence.
"That's not up to you, if Lord Nott accepts then it would happen and if he is too scared to accept then…" I said and let my sentence hanging. Lord Nott looked to contemplate for a few moments.
"I agree… but if I win then your family is to sign a marriage contract with our family" Lord Nott said. Oh, so he is taking that direction… well he is happy to try but nothing would happen there. I immediately smiled and agreed, this made Lord Nott smile viciously.
"Then, let us discuss about the spells bans" I said and the crowd again became silent.
"No, bans, even the Unforgivables are allowed" Lord Nott said with a similar vicious smile on his face.
"Of course, sure, let it be that way. Then, the battle should be to death. Until one of us dies the battle will go on. Only one of us will leave the arena" I said with my gentle smile persona. Lord Nott and everyone completely stilled hearing that I wanted a death battle and I also accepted unforgivables to be allowed. Lord Nott looked at me for a few moments before burst out laughing… a lot of families joined him while others looked at me with pity. Even the ICW agents looked at me with pity. Lord Nott accepted and it was decided that the duel will happen within the week…
Chapter 125 - Wizard's Duel (III)
[POV Reo(Edgar)]
The rest of the week passed quite normally except some articles and speculations about me. For Rita's own sake she didn't write anything about me… I think that Amelia stopped her though. Well, I wouldn't care if she wrote some tripe about me after all that would lead people to underestimate me more and more. People are already underestimating me heavily which is a good thing I would say…
After all, I wasn't going to fight as Magneto but as Edgar Ravenclaw, I can't Magneto's powers openly or it would be a dead giveaway about that. The fight is going to be public and from what I have learnt the fight would be broadcasted on Wizarding Wireless Network. Yes, I know that that is a radio channel or station but Ol Twinkles and several others are going to be present there and honestly, I don't want anyone connecting the dots… ever!
Throughout the week I kept practicing duels along with Dora, Momo, Rumi, and Nemuri. I tried to take all four of them together using only my magical capabilities, I was successful. Even with all the raw magical power Nemuri has, I was able to defeat the four of them together but it was one of the most challenging and close call I ever had. Yes, its true that none of us had used ant kind of lethal spells but it was still challenging.
The rest of the time I kept practicing the string of lethal and dark spells along with light spells. Fiendfyre was, is, and will be my all-time favourite spell. The spell can even burn through other curses and wards, shields, practically Fiendfyre engulfs all and everything in its path. Fiendfyre and even burn through another Fiendfyre casted by someone else. But only me, and Nemuri have enough power to control it. Dora had some power but she needs a lot more training before she can use the cursed fire.
From my personal research… I have found out that Fiendfyre can only be used by two kind of people. First, people who are utterly incompetent and complete idiot and fool to the core. Second, people like me, and Nemuri who actually had enough magical power to cast it, control it, and mould it to our requirement. I am pretty sure that Ol Twinkles can cast it if he wants but he would never do it… Ol Noseless can cast it and control it, and if late Icklle Bella was sane then she could too.
I have dragged Dora to train along with me and taught her some obscure and deadly curses for her self-defence. Dora was reluctant to learn at first because she didn't want to get caught using dark magic and being branded as a Dark Lady. But she relented after I told her that if no body recognises the curse then it can't be a dark curse and I wasn't asking her to use them, I was teaching them to her for emergency. I was finally able to teach her organ liquefying curse, skin melting curse, bone banisher curse (a curse that banishes all the bones from a human body), organ expelling curse, blood poison curse, blood acidic curse, blood drainer curse and a lot more.
Luna finally returned from her trip in Croatia… she and her father had gone to Croatia to look for new and eccentric magical creatures, namely Crumple-Horned Snorkack. As, soon as Luna returned, she wrote me a letter that she enjoyed the trip but was really disappointed that she didn't found Crumple-Horned Snorkack. She also heard about my duel and was worried and wished me luck. I happily replied that she shouldn't lose hope in her ventures and I was going to be fine.
Finally, the letter from ICW arrived just before the day of the duel along with portkey. The duel was scheduled for 12 noon, we were instructed to arrive at the venue by 10 am because of potion check. The arena was chosen to be in Sweden. There was no bar for carrying a secondary wand or any other kind of weapon but potions were banned as per the ICW official rule. Yes, if our duel would have happened under the British Ministry then we, the participants had to decide beforehand if potions are allowed or not.
After the letter arrived I could easily tell that the girls were quite nervous and they really have a good reason to be worried, so I can't blame any of them. This was my first wizards' duel and there were no spell bans. The problem was it was a magical duel and I had to fight magically. The night passed… the five of us slept together but nothing naughty happened except some making out and cuddling. Next morning, it was Dora who had to leave the earliest as Amelia Bones or Bonesy as Dora liked to call has assigned her as her guard. Amelia was taking Shaklebolt and Dora as her escort.
The remaining four of us got ready… Thank god that I didn't have to wear some regal robes today and strut around like a peacock. Today I wore battle robes… the robes were really amazing, neither of my girls knew but I promised myself that I was going to wear battle robes if I had to wear any robes. At, exactly 10 am, the portkey activated and the four of us were whisked away and appeared inside a regal looking waiting room. The four of us landed with elegance unlike some certain person all four of us knew. We found a middle-aged woman and a man dressed in ICW robes were already waiting for us in the room.
"Welcome, Lady Ravenclaw, Mr. Ravenclaw, Miss Ravenclaw, and Miss Ravenclaw, the tests for potions would be starting soon. Mr. Ravenclaw, please follow me and Mr. Bole would lead you to the viewing box" the woman said. I nodded towards the girls. The girls followed the man named Bole while I followed the lady. I arrived in a tent, on my other side Lord Nott also entered the tent, he had his usual pureblood sneer on his face. There was a significant distance between us so that we can't attack or drug each other before the duel can start. Both me and Lord Nott were cleared for potions… they also tested for muggle drugs as they can at least boost your stamina and physical strength.
Because of the tests included for muggle drugs the tests took long… it took us one and a half and hour to complete the tests. Now, some would say that wizards would never consider using muggle drugs because they see muggles lower than themselves but it wasn't the case with ICW. They were the main association holding the Statue of Secrecy so they have kept close eyes on the mundane world especially after Grindelwald. So, they knew who far the muggles have come and how technologically advanced they were.
After the tests were done, both me and Lord Nott were led towards the arena. It was raised up platform surrounded by audience. The whole audience stand was covered with thick bulletproof glass so neither our spells could reach them or they could interfere. I was quite surprised that they were using this… curiously I asked an ICW agent and he said that it was because the Unforgivables were involved or they would have used wards…
Finally, the time of the anticipated duel arrived, I climbed up on the platform, from the other side Lord Nott climbed up with his usual pureblood sneer on his face. I turned my eyes away and looked at the crowd… I quickly found the girls as they were in the VIP box of some kind. While the Nott family was on the other VIP box. Ol Twinkles was sitting in the crowd along with some old geezers of his own age. I was brought out of my musing when Lord Nott spoke up in his disgusting voice.
"I thought you would run away brat" he said while the sneer on his face became more pronounced.
"Why would I do that? After all, I am getting a chance to kill someone legally" For the first I showed him a vicious smile. For a moment Lord Nott lost his sneer but it returned the next second and he scowled.
"Are you two ready?" the referee asked us with Sonorus.
Both me and Lord Nott looked in his direction and nodded our heads. "Then, Begin!!" the referee yelled.
Both me and Lord Nott were already ready with our wands and neither of us needed to be told twice. Lord Nott began his assault on me with a flame whip which I easily dodged. I returned fired with confringo and difindo. Lord Nott's eyes grew narrowed and had to duck down to dodge the curse as both of them were aimed on his neck. He didn't expect me to directly go for the kill.
Lord Nott saw that and immediately fired several curses on me in a string. All of these curses were lethal. I swatted away the last two curses with mine while dodging the others. Seeing me occupied Lord Nott fired off a killing curse which I easily moved out of the way of. There is another short-coming of Unforgivables, they can't be casted silently so you already know what's coming. In return, I sent several silently casted curses and this time his eyes grew wide and face became completely pale. I sent five curses and all five of them were dark… organ liquefying, blood boiling, organ expelling, entrails exploding and bone banisher. Lord Nott was able to dodge the five of them by a hair.
I didn't give him time and casted eye gouging curse which hit right him right on mark and his left eye-ball exploded. Lord Nott grabbed the left side of his face and screamed in pain and dropped on the floor. He still had his wand in his hand.
"Any last word?" I asked him in a mocking tone. He immediately raised his wand and only the first part of the killing curse came out of his mouth before he forgot the rest in fear.
"Avada" seeing him starting to cast the killing curse I also decided to used my favourite spell "Fiendfyre" I said and in fear Lord Nott forgot to even complete casting his spell. Before he could even blink his whole body was engulfed by a leviathan made of flames…
Chapter 126 - Wizard's Duel (Reactions) & Third Year (I)
A/N: Some readers are saying that Magneto's Patronus was a leviathan so others could recognize him. Yes, that could happen but MC haven't used his Patronus. Yes, MC's Fiendfyre is also in form of leviathan but I don't think anyone sane would compare it with someone's Patronus.
Another thing is MC is not nerfing himself. Yes, he is avoiding to learn the Elctromagnetic Spectrum but that is because of the radiation. Yes, like someone said that Mutants rarely got hurt by their own powers I can understand that but there is still nothing that is going to save MC from the radiation.
--
[With Albus Dumbledore]
Albus can't believe that this was happening with him… the Great Albus Dumbledore defeater of Dark Lord Grindelwald. He had to use the favours others owed him so that they would let him enter to watch the duel… he was still quite shocked and surprised. After all, he couldn't even think why everyone was treating him like this… after all he did everything for the Greater Good. Why can't anyone understand that… this made his conviction even stronger than only he… Albus Dumbledore could lead all these people who had lost their way and he would do it… after all it was for the Greater Good.
Albus was finally able to reach to his seat and sat down… he was quite surprised that instead of wards ICW were using some kind of glass to protect them So, he asking another old geezer who was sitting in front of him. That dude was a retired ICW worker, he quickly explained what this glass was and what it did. He was quite disturbed to know that they were using muggle products openly like this.
Yes, everyone knew him as Muggle lover and darker families even called him muggle loving fool. But in truth he didn't even care about any muggles, in the retrospect he subtly allowed the purebloods to pass laws that would oppress the muggleborns. He was the Chief Warlock for Merlin's sake, if he wanted he could have stopped any of those laws from passing but he didn't. After all he wanted the wizarding world to stay like as it was without any developments.
He had used most of his powers to let things stay like they were when he had any positions. But now it was clear that everything was different. He quietly sat down and contemplated over this topic… but he could do them later as currently he only needed to get Harry Potter under his control. He had been making trips to Beauxbatons during night with the help of his Phoenix and he had found quite a lot about young Harry. It wasn't something hard… he used some compulsion charms along with his usual stupid grandfather persona and was able to get everything he needed. But he decided to bide his time now… he can't bring Harry Potter forcefully… yes, he could memory wipe him and bring him here but that could raise a lot of problems…
That was the reason he was using his power as Headmaster to push forward the Tri-Wizard Tournament. He would put Harry's name in the goblet… and after that no one would be able to stop or protest Harry coming here. Yes, his name and reputation would get another hit but he could withstand it… after all everything he was doing was only for the Greater Good. He was damn sure that Tom would also want to use this chance to get Harry and would come out of his hiding.
Finally, the duel was about to start… he looked at young Edgar with regret. After all, he could have used him to control the Ravenclaws. In retrospect he could also use this chance to show Vicky the error of her ways. He was quite surprised to see how unfazed Edgar was when Lord Nott used the flame whip. He along with the crowd was completely stunned when Edgar returned the attack and both attacks were deadly.
What happened next was even more shocking and surprising for him… not only Edgar was able to dodge all those curses and the killing curse, he returned the attack with his own set of even darker curses. This wasn't good… how can someone so young know these kinds of dark curses. He needed to talk with Edgar as soon as school started… he can't let this stay unattended. But it was literally the last straw when Edgar casted Fiendfyre. The whole crowd was completely stunned silent after that. No…!! How can someone control those cursed flames with such mastery… he needed to get Edgar under his control.
[POV Reo(Edgar)]
Ah… the stupid duel is finally over. I looked around the crowd and saw that everyone was stunned silent and all of them were afraid. I could clearly see fear in their eyes. I looked over to the referee who was completely horrified to even declare the results. Not that I cared… after all this duel was till death, since even the ashes of Lord Nott were gone the duel had finished.
I used the insane control I had over Fiendfyre to put it off and like I had thought nothing was left here. Only the charred platform… I didn't wait for anyone to declare the results and quickly walked down the platform and returned towards the tent. The medi-wizard ran some diagnostics and let me pass. After that I was led by ICW agents towards the room we had previously arrived. Nemuri informed me that she was handed the rights of Nott seat in the Wizengamot. With that done we quickly decided to return.
Ah… I wonder what kind of image they are going to paint me in now… next Dark Lord or already Dark Lord or something similar. It's needed to seen now…
The days went on like usual… and finally the September 1st arrived. Nothing monumental happened in the remaining days expect we brought Luna for a trip in the Castle Ravenclaw. She was really happy and she liked the trip a lot… she enjoyed the whole day skipping around the castle… ah… she is so sweet and innocent.
I had also asked Amelia to get me some time-turners, she told me she could only get two or three nothing more as they are heavily controlled and managed by the ministry. Yes, there were some time-turners outside of Ministry's control but it was only there because no one knew about them. If Hermione was caught with her time-turner then she would have been immediately shipped to Azkaban for possessing that. I wonder if Minnie Gi would still give her the time-turner.
And, just like I had thought the Daily Prophet had called me a Dark Lord in rising for about a week. Seeing that they are not getting reaction from me or the public they stopped. I have no idea why the public stopped trusting them… even if public reacted I wouldn't have cared about it.
With everything ready we finally portkeyed into platform 9, all the eyes immediately turned in our direction as I have made quite a name for myself. Most looked at me with fear in their eyes… I don't care anymore as the muggleborns and half-bloods are quite supportive of me.
We, quickly found and empty compartment and got inside, like we knew Luna joined us as soon as she boarded the train. Luna demanded her pudding treats and Momo gave her two cups of puddings but with a stern warning. I sometimes wonder if Luna lives on pudding.
"So, Edgar, do you care for an exclusive interview with the Quibbler" Luna suddenly asked after she finished her pudding treat.
"No, let's meet in the common room later" I offered to which she happily nodded and went back to read the Quibbler. I have seen her doing it regularly so one day I asked why she reads her own paper, apparently, she like to read the Quibbler with a reader's perspective. I say that it is quite nice if she thinks like that.
After sometime we were joined by Hermione Granger, who immediately fired off several questions about me fighting someone in a death battle and how barbaric it was. Honestly, I was getting annoyed and Momo must have seen that… so Momo decided to intervene and explain the matter to Hermione. Yes, I understand that all these traditions are really old and should be stopped but this doesn't give her any rights to insult someone else traditions. She has to know that in different countries and different regions there are different traditions. Some are modern while some are backward… yes, they should change but as an outsider Hermione shouldn't insult them. Because of these reason muggleborns were mostly looked down in Magical Britain.
After sometime, we were joined by Michael Corner, Lisa Turpin, and Terry Boot. Terry Boot became our friend during 2nd year. He was also a nice guy, the current problem was Hermione, only. Sometimes she was really annoying… honestly, I have started to wonder if it is worth it or not…
Chapter 127 - Third Year (II)
[POV Reo(Edgar)]
The start of this session was apparently quite normal except the first day we arrived in Hogwarts. After the dinner I have been immediately called into Headmaster's office. I was kind of expecting that since I was quite sure that Ol Twinkles won't allow someone like me roam around freely in his school...
[FLASHBACK]
After the dinner, the four of us. Me, Momo, Rumi & Luna were directly heading towards the dormitories. A prefect informed me that Professor Flitwick had asked me to meet in Headmaster's office. The girl's wanted to join in including Luna as she had never seen Headmaster's office and she was really curious.
"No need, I will be fine and Luna I will take you someday later, when Dumbles would have left the office" I said to the girls. Momo and Rumi nodded and agreed, Luna thought for a few seconds before happily nodding her head.
After separating from the group, I went directly towards the Headmaster's office. Professor Flitwick was already waiting for me there and was looking at me slightly warily. He must have seen the duel... I don't see any other reason that makes him wary of me. I won't put it past Ol Twinkles that he had shown the memory of duel to everyone to get everyone against me...
"Hello, Professor, how have you been?" I asked Flitwick. He was one of the Professors I liked, and honestly, I didn't mind him getting wary of me as it would be common since I am near other students after all.
"It has been a calming and nice holiday... only Merlin knows how much I needed it. Now, let's go inside, the others are waiting" Flitwick said returning to his usual quirky personality. Did he just say, others? Maybe all the Professors or other Head of the Houses. I should have checked the portrait before coming here... well, who cares.
Flitwick gave a password to the Gargoyle, the Gargoyle moved past. I could have gained access even without giving a password but that would have drawn unnecessary attention towards me. Me and Flitwick arrived in front of the door and Flitwick was about to knock when "Come in" was heard from inside. Of course,... there are runes to notify him. I shrugged while Flitwick opened the door and I followed him inside. Like I had thought... only the Head of The Houses were here.
"Edgar, my boy, it's nice of you to join us, please take a seat" Ol Twinkles greeted me and offered me a seat, honestly, I hate it when he says 'Edgar, my boy' and all. It's really annoying and gets on my nerves... "Lemon Drop?" Dumbles asked me gesturing towards the bowl containing Lemon Drops.
"No, thank you and I would appreciate if you remain formal with me" I said and leaned back on the chair. Dumbles looked like he had eaten a sour lemon while Minnie Gi seemed her usual self. Hearing me Slughorn had a huge grin on his face... and Flitwick & Sprout looked slightly worried.
"Ah... can we skip these smaller details. I think there is something more important to discuss" Fumbledork said, trying to dismiss my argument. I decided not to give him a reply regarding this matter and the battle of wills began. None of us said anything... the first one to speak anything would lose. I know it's stupid... but it's kind of has a subconscious level of effect.
Both me and Dumbles kept staring at each other, the other Professors also knew what was happening and decided to stay out of it. I found it quite surprising that Minnie Gi didn't take the first chance to defend the Old Goat. Yes, I have heard from Nemuri that Minnie Gi and the other Head of the Houses have changed but it seems that it was really true. Fumbledork finally sighed and shook his head in a disappointed grandfatherly manner.
"I am truly disappointed in you… I just wanted to ask where did you learn the spells you used in the duel?" Fumbledork said in a manner that I have done some crime or a have kicked his puppy.
"Honestly, I can't bring myself to care that you are disappointed in me, and Headmaster Dumbledore, I don't see that you have any right to know, where I learnt those spells" I said in a firm voice. I clearly saw a gleam appear in his eyes even it was just for a moment. I clearly found that Slughorn didn't like Albus… Minnie Gi still had her stony expression on her face. Flitwick and Sprout were completely worried now but they still didn't intervene and stayed back.
"You will find it well within my right to ask you that as I am the Headmaster of this school" Ol Twinkles leaned on his table and said. The usual Twinkles in his damn eyes was completely gone now… his grandfatherly tone was also gone as he spoke to me in hardened voice.
"No. If you do that then you are interfering in the matters of a Most Ancient and Most Noble House's business. I don't a single scenario where you would end up with a good result" I said in my usual firm tone. Hearing me, Dumbles leaned back in his chair and seemed to contemplate something. Finally, he released a sigh and got ready to speak again… he was back in his grandfather act.
"I am afraid that you are going dark… you are so young and yet you blood on your hands. I am simply worried for you and the other students in this school" he said in a disappointed voice and the damn eye twinkle was back.
"I am afraid you are wrong here Headmaster, it was a battle to death. It was either him and me… and truly believe me I have hundred ways to kill someone using… what you call light spell and you don't have to worry about other students, after all I have been here for two years and nothing have happened" I said while nodding my head. I let my words sink in his head… he was immediately alarmed that I could discuss about killing someone so easily. The other Professors were also alarmed… unable to keep quiet Flitwick finally spoke up.
"Ah, excuse me for interrupting, but you said you could kill someone with light spells. I kind of fail to understand it" Flitwick spoke genuinely curious. I was somewhat disturbed hearing this… he is the Professor of charms. He should know the spells himself… I knew that Magical people are stupid but this is something unimaginable… Minnie Gi, Sprout, and Slughorn also looked interested.
"Levitation spell, levitate someone in the air… about 20 meters and then stop the charm. Congrats, you have a dead body in your hands. Conjure a lance and banish it on someone… diffindo on neck, confrindo, on neck, bombarda on upper body, reducto on head or neck… I can keep going if you want" I said, all the Head of the Houses looked completely dumbfounded along with the Old Goat. I am pretty sure that none of them had thought of using those spells like this and I found it really disturbing…
Nobody in the room spoke for a few minutes, I was just using this time to look around the room after all the portrait I had didn't have that kind of field of view. The Professors and the Headmaster contemplated for a few minutes before they decided to speak up.
"But still… I find it really hard to keep you in the school if you don't change your ways" it was Ol Twinkles who spoke first. I found it really annoying… His need to control everyone is getting out of hands.
"I am sorry Headmaster but I think you are mistaking something here" I said in my usual firm tone. Ol Twinkles immediately got curious and leaned on the table looking quite interested at what I was going to say.
"You are forgetting that who owns the school" this is what I needed to say and Ol Twinkles leaned back on his chair looking completely lost and pale. Slughorn had a rather smug grin on his face. Minnie Gi looked at me appraisingly while Flitwick and Sprout looked really worried now. I used legilimency to read their surface thoughts… and found that their worry was genuine. They were worried what would happen if I happen to retaliate to some student's attack.
"You don't have to worry… I am not going to attack someone on my own and if isn't for my safety I won't be attacking them. I would let the teachers decide their punishments" I said, this seemed to ease, Minnie Gi, Flitwick, and Sprout but Dumbles wasn't happy with just this but he didn't seem to say anything more at least not now… when he knew that he had already lost.
"If that's all, may I take my leave?" I asked our respected Headmaster who reluctantly nodded his head when he found no support from the Head of the Houses. With that I got up and left his room… immediately after walking past the Gargoyle I Flash Stepped into my room and activated the portrait to see if anything was going on or not. Apparently, after I left the room the others also walked out…
[FLASHBACK END]
The days kept going on without any more interruption from our esteemed Headmaster. It was the final day of the term. The Christmas Holidays was about to start tomorrow. There was an odd thing I noticed that Theodore Nott son of Lord Nott have tried to approach me several times but have backed away seeing the others around me. I didn't know what he wanted but he looked kind of nervous and both grateful, another thing to ponder on a later date…
--
A/N: I guess everyone of you already know that the next world is going to be MCU and XCU X-over. So, I wanted to do a vote for the timeline in which you wanted the MC and his Harem to arrive. I have written the Years in the comments of this paragraph. Please, like the option you want to vote for.
Chapter 128 - Christmas Holidays (I)
[POV Reo(Edgar)]
I groggily opened my eyes and found myself tangled in female limbs… ah, I am the luckiest guy. What more can I say? Four beautiful girls were sleeping along with me after a night of passion. From the sunlight it was clear that it was already noon… after all, the five of us went to sleep only after sun was already up. I untangled myself with quite some difficulty and got out of the bed. I covered the girls with a blanket and walked into the shower.
After a nice and long relaxing shower, I finally got out and got changed into casual muggle clothes. Last night we had decided to stay in our flat, which was no under a Fidelius, Rumi was our secret keeper and only 4 people knew the secret, including Dora. I entered the kitchen and found a letter was waiting on the table… it was addressed to me. Several alarms went off in my head… first of all a letter shouldn't be here and secondly no one should invite me.
Before I even touched the letter I casted several diagnostics charms on it to check the contents. Seeing that everything was normal I opened the letter and found that it was from Amelia. I was about to read the letter but my stomach rumbled loudly… I called Nixy, and Lipsy to cook breakfast styled lunch after all, none of us had breakfast. I also found out that the letter arrived in the castle and Dixy delivered it here when found that all of us were still sleeping.
I started to read the letter and found out that Amelia was inviting us to Bones Manor for Christmas. She was telling me that all of the members of our Alliance were being invited. Well, I had nothing better to do but I would still ask the girls before giving her a reply. Amelia was also giving a break to Dora, did she have a shift now? Thinking about the girls I should go and wake them up.
"Fuck, Fuck, Fuck!!!" I heard several screams from the room. Its was clearly Dora, I heard a loud thump next, bet she had tripped. I opened the door and entered the room to find Dora was pulling up a pair of jeans while rolling on the floor. She must have fallen tripped while wearing her pants.
"Um… is going commando is the new fashion?" I asked Dora as she clearly wasn't wearing any knickers and was pulling up her jeans. Her head immediately snapped in my direction, I am surprised that she didn't get a whiplash due to that.
"Help me… I am already late for my shift!" Dora said with puppy dog eyes.
"Don't worry… Amelia let you have a have a break, today. She kind of guessed that you are going to be late for your shift" I said, it was true as it was written in the letter. At that time, I didn't know why it was but it was apparently because she knew that Dora was going to be late.
Dora finally released a sigh while I waved my hand and Dora was again out of her tangled jeans. "Ah… Bonesy is really thoughtful" Dora said and dropped back on the bed.
"Yes, that she is but its already late, get a shower I am gonna wake up the others" I said to Dora who groaned seeing that she would be unable to return to her sleep. She got up grumbling something about beast of a boyfriend, I gave her a smug grin before kissing her. She pouted because the kiss ended and entered the shower. She had already gotten used to us as she didn't close the shower door. I quickly woke up the others and after a round of morning kisses they also entered the shower and I went back to kitchen.
Nixy and Lipsy have already placed the food on the table with a heating charm on them. I opened the Daily Prophet and started to check the news… everything written there was almost shit. Yes, their stories are kind of truth but they kind of make it up spicy on their own. The girls quickly joined me on the table… I asked them about the invitation, Dora also happily accepted but she also invited us at her house on Boxing Day. Apparently, her mom had found out that she has a boyfriend and had nagged her until Dora agreed.
But before any of that I needed to visit Sirius and Harry and take a report for them. From Amelia and Nemuri I have found several things about the Tri-Wizard Tournament. The first thing is that this tournament is going to be different from any Twi-Wizard Tournaments happened previously.
Apparently, there is going to be six participants this time, how the hell they are going to do that no one outside of the managers know for now. I can certainly say that they aren't going to confound the cup into believing that there are six schools and one student from each school.
(A/N: I have taken the idea from a fanfic called Black Princess Ascendant by Silently Watches. If you want you can check the fanfic, it is one of the nicest fanfics I have ever read. It is a femslash along with normal relationship. Even tough the fanfic is really dark I would say its one of the best I have read. The fanfic is Quadro logy and it is completely finished. I am not going to say anything more here… if you don't want to read how the tournament happens in that fanfic then I would ask you to wait and see but the events are going to be different)
Well… for now, who cares. After breakfast or lunch, Dora decided to visit her Mum and dad, the rest of us decided to return to the castle. After arriving in the castle, I went to visit Attila who was very happy with her new home. She hunted some wild animals in a forest once a month… she told me that was apparently enough for her huge body. I have no idea how her metabolism works though. I also started a side project… making an armour for Attila that would protect her from a cock's crow. That sounded really bad but I guess most of us understood what I wanted to say…
Three days passed since the Christmas Holidays have started and I have warded all of my properties with the help of the elves and girls against Phoenixes. I don't want a Phoenix flaming into my castle… and from what I had found out. Currently only three people own a Phoenix as their familiar in the whole world. One is a Japanese old dude… he is very much older than Dumbles an could keel over any day now. Another guy is from India, he is rather young when compared to both Dumbles and Japanese old dude. This guy is only in his sixties… and lastly Dumbles he is the most worrisome.
Apparently, Ol Twinkles thinks that he has the right to every information out there. And he could actually flame inside my Castle or any other property to find any information regarding us. I won't put it past him doing just that, so with that done I was finally ready to visit Sirius and Harry.
Wearing my armour, I portkeyed to France and then directly apparated into Sirius's house. Since Sirius had added me into the wards… the wards didn't try to stop me. But, I personally think that I arrived here at wrong time since guests were here and everyone was looking at me. It was quite easy for me to recognize who these guests were… the Delacours. Fleur was in her 6th year and it was quite easy to recognize her. Sirius and Harry were gaping like a fish… I too didn't know what to say the Delacours immediately pulled out their wands and pointed in my direction.
(A/N: I am gonna try to replicate their accent shown in the movies but don't go too hard on me if this doesn't work)
"Ho are you? Ow ziz you enterz here?" It was the oldest lady of the group. Apolline Delacour. I really had a hard time to understand what she was saying but seeing the situation it was quite easy to understand.
"You can call me Magneto, and I apparated here if you wanted to know" I said in a cheerful voice in a manner that I was stating facts. The two adults and the one almost adult Delacour was completely dumbfounded.
"Bad time Magneto… it is a really bad time for you to visit" Harry said while shaking his head.
"Yeah, I can see that… from next time I will drop a message before dropping by" I said in a sarcastic tone.
"You can't be serious?" Sirius whined like a kid.
"Of course not, you are Sirius" I said, yes, I decided to make a Sirius joke. Harry groaned and face-palmed while Sirius barked out in laughter. The Delacours didn't even knew what to say anymore they just stood at their initial place completely dumfounded.
"Now, that's the cat out of the bag… let me introduce you to everyone" Harry said taking the lead. I have to say… he has grown up a lot…
Chapter 129 - Christmas Holidays (II)
[POV Reo(Edgar)]
(A/N: Last time someone told me to stop trying to mimic the French Accent because I was doing a bad job with it and honestly, I completely agree with you. So, I decided to give up on that idea)
"So, let me get this straight, this guy here is not an actual Dark Lord and he is currently trying to stop a Dark Lord maker?" Jean Delacour, head of Delacour family asked incredulously. From his looks he was completely bewildered and honestly anyone in his place would be.
"I simply can't believe this… after all he is such a Great Wizard, he was the one who killed and stopped the terror of Gellert Grindelwald" Apolline Delacour said while shaking her head.
"There is a mistake in your knowledge… the Old Goat never killed Grindelwald. After all, he was not able to kill his own lover. So, he did the next best thing, he stowed him away and threw the key…" I was saying but I was cut off by the youngest of the Delacours.
"Lies! How can we believe that you are telling the truth?" Fleur said while huffing. Both his mother and father looked worried, that I would retaliate.
"Of course not. I have heard that Lord Delacour here has quite a pull in the French Ministry. Ask him make some checks in a prison named Nurmengard. You will find that a certain Dark Lord is there and who pays him visit frequently" I said in a mysterious manner. Jean Delacour was a smart man… he knew that there is no smoke without a fire. At this moment he might find it hard to believe but there will be no harm in finding out the truth himself.
"Ah… no matter how enjoyable my day was, I think I should leave. After all, I ruined your day because of my own wrong timing. See ya" With that said I quickly apparated out of the Black Property. After that I portkeyed back into our castle. Damn!! I didn't want the truth to be out so soon. Well it won't be a consequence to my plans after all, no British wizards or witches would take a second of their day and look at any other newspaper the Daily Prophet.
Yes, the Quibbler grew really famous after I gave my interview but that doesn't people would readily buy it. And still most of the people treat the magazine as a rag and they think that it is mostly filled with fantasy creatures and conspiracy theories. I have talked to Luna about this matter but she seems fine regarding this matter. For her, it is completely fine paper and she won't change it for anything. Well, at least she is sure about that.
So, the news of Gellert Grindelwald still being alive getting out in Britain is highly unlikely. Even if it gets out, there won't be a lot of problem after all its already 3rd year and I won't need much more time to commence my plans. After all, the final papers about the Tri-Wizard Tournament are going to be signed in next month and after that there won't be going back.
Finally, Christmas arrived and most of the morning was spent opening gifts all of us received. After that, we spent the rest of day relaxing and enjoying each other's company. Nothing like sex happened… the five of us just sat on the roof under an umbrella with area wide heating charm so the cold and snow doesn't bother us. After a nice and warm lunch, the five of us quickly got ready, after all, we were invited to Bones Manor.
Three of us were quite unhappy to wear robes, especially, if the robes made us look like a peacock. Nemuri, Dora, and me were really unhappy that we have to wear robes and strut around like a peacock. At least me and Dora were, after all Dora didn't like to pose in any pureblood manner… I also didn't like looking like a peacock. But, Nemuri liked looking like a peacock… the reason she was unhappy because of robes were truly conservative. After all, she is an exhibitionist…
Rumi, didn't care a lot because she didn't need to wear these God-Awful abominations for quite long. She herself accepted that she didn't mind sufferings for a few hours. Only, Momo was different as she completely liked this robes fashion. It was new for her and like always she liked trying new things… I grabbed some floo power and threw them into the floo and called out 'Bones Manor' and walked into the floo.
I elegantly arrived in the Bones Manor and immediately met with the sights of several guests. Sirius, and Harry were already here, the Greengrasses were here too, the girls quickly arrived after all and Dora in her usual elegance tripped and sprawled on the floor. Dora quickly got up grumbling about mean flooes and all.
"Is that you Nymphadora?" Sirius saw Dora and immediately called her out after recognizing her.
(A/N: Sirius has been in contact with Andromeda and he had already reinstated her and her family back into the Black Family but Sirius wasn't able to meet Dora because of Hogwarts then her Auror Training camp)
"Don't call me that!" while dusting her robes Dora exclaimed and turned her head towards her recent offender who dared to call her using her first name. Dora quickly recognized Sirius and greeted him but not before warning him about using her name. I noticed Amelia quickly heading towards us.
"Lady Ravenclaw, Merry Christmas, thank you for accepting the invitation. Everyone has been waiting for you" Amelia greeted us, she needed to greet Nemuri first after all she was the family leader. Amelia clearly knew who the true family leader was but if she greeted me first then she would have been insulting Nemuri and some might even connect the dots. After all, we can't have others finding that out now and not everyone in here were our friends… just allies.
After that Amelia happily greeted us and found Dora bickering with Sirius. Thankfully both of them were silent enough not to disturb the others. Amelia sighed and shook her head before taking Nemuri to introduce to others. Momo, Rumi, and me decided to look around. We quickly found Susan Bones happily chatting away with her friend Hannah Abbot. Dowager Longbottom and Neville was also invited in the party along with several other grey and light families. After sometime, Narcissa also showed up… some didn't like her but nobody dared to say anything because she was a part of our Alliance and most of the people in this room have seen my duel against Lord Nott and how easily I killed him.
We were mostly left alone throughout the party… I have to say that Amelia didn't pull any punches and went all out for the party. From what I have heard from Susan, her auntie was doing this almost after 15 years. The food was just mind blowing… every Lady asked Amelia for the recipes.
We finally returned to Castle Ravenclaw, not even few seconds passed before I arrived and I was already naked. I wasn't able to stand those ruddy robes any more. Everyone except Momo did the same. We decided to take a mice bath before heading to bed. Nothing perverted was done between us except few teasing and touching. Nemuri had to be bound so that we can stop her… all of us were tired and wanted to just sleep. Also, we had to visit the Tonks household tomorrow.
After bath, all of us crashed into the massive bed, Nemuri was still tied… before going to spell I helped her getting a release… after that she happily went to sleep.
The next day all of us woke up early and after completing all our morning rituals, we quickly got ready to visit the Tonks residence. From what Dora told me… Sirius and Harry are also going to be there. I wonder if I need to reveal that I am Magneto, I am also quite nervous if Dora's parents would accept me or not. Hah… no matter how heartless I am… these matters are really worrying.
After getting ready we apparated into the backyard of Tonks residence. "Come on! Let's go inside" Dora said and started to drag all of us inside. After walking inside, we found out that Dora's parents, Sirius and Harry were already there waiting for us.
"How have you Nymphadora?" Mrs. Tonks asked and pulled Dora into a smothering hug. Dora's hair immediately turned red in embarrassment.
"Muuuum… don't call me that" Dora whined while Mrs. Tonks just swiped away her daughter's request or concern. Sirius, who was snickering in amusement yelped when a stinging hex hit him on his shin.
"I don't understand Nymphadora… its such a beautiful name" Mrs. Tonks said while looking at her daughter. Our group was also amused with the exchange going on.
"Ahem! Why don't you introduce us to your friends?" Mr. Tonks finally cleared his throat and asked Dora who immediately got slightly nervous but still decided to carry on.
"This is Vicky Ravenclaw… you have met my best friend before, this is Alice Ravenclaw, this is Roxane Ravenclaw, and finally this is Edgar Ravenclaw… my boyfriend" Dora finished quite nervously.
Mr. and Mrs. Tonks happily watched the introduction until it came to me. Mrs. Tonks looked really worried. I was also worried seeing them reacting like that. I don't know what I would do if they don't accept me. Why is being a Dark Lord easier than meeting girlfriend's parents. Both Mrs. and Mr. Tonks didn't say anything and looked around their house for a few moments until a smile appeared on both of their faces. Me along with the others were slightly confused with their reaction.
"Thank God the FBI isn't here…" Mrs. Tonks said releasing her breadth. Did she just say that???
(A/N: Sorry guys, I wasn't able to hold myself back from making the FBI joke)
Chapter 130 - Golden Cup & Silver Cup
A/N: I did a vote few days ago asking about the timeline when MC and his Harem should arrive in next world.
Well, year 2002 won the vote, so MC and his Harem are going to arrive 1 year before X-Men original movie.
--
[POV Reo(Edgar)]
What happened in the Tonks residence was embarrassing in the least. Honestly, there is no way in hell that I would become so young in any other world... that shit ain't happening again... fuck world and fuck plot...
After that, the rest of the day was quite normal. Sirius made some more fun but after getting hexed into backyard by Dora he decided to keep his mouth shut. Harry is a good boy... even of he grew up with Sirius he didn't say anything. Good for his health I guess.
The rest of the day was spent quite normally... chatting and having fun and all. With the Boxing Day over, Dora had to return to her job after all you can't take too many leaves no matter who you are... because of me Dora still got some leaves or Aurors still have to work even in Christmas Eve... cops don't get too many holidays (A/N: Type R for respect for cops and soldiers)
I invested the rest of my holiday sneaking around ICW headquarters, it was so easy that I honestly didn't want to do it again. Even of these guys were much smarter than Ministry guys... they are still stupid. Yes their wards were strong and they can't stop Imperio, so I casually impersuid a guy and let him get the structure of the building for me... I know I shouldn't do it but I never said that I was someone good.
Now, the reason I was doing this was so that I could find anything related to the Tri-Wizard Tournament. After all, because of the changes I wanted to gather all the information. And, I was at least impressed with security there. There were several trigger spells on the cabinets. If anyone without permission touches the file then the words will vanish... nifty trick. So, seeing that I reached a dead end I decided to visit my beloved Ministry of Magic.
Contacting Amelia, I found that the information was already there in the Department of Magical Games. She easily whisked the guard details for me. Ah... having someone inside is a so nice...!!
Invading Ministry of Magic was easy like it always had been. I was so disappointed that they still haven't improved them. I wanted to have some action... no matter how small it was. With a invisibility cloak over me, and several charms to mask my sound, heat and smell I easily entered the Department of Magical Games. I quickly rummaged through the files related to Tri-Wizard Tournament. As soon as I found them I started to make copies as I wanted to leave quickly.
With the copies done, I quickly headed towards Amelia's office after all she asked for a copy herself. As the Department Head of Magical Law Enforcement, she was really curious. But, reaching DMLE floor I think Amelia had decided to prank me because the security was fucking strong... my face contorted like a sucked a lemon.
Fick it... I won't lose to that old bag of Bones (no pun intended). Deciding to greet Amelia I directly Flash Stepped into her office ignoring everything and found that she was sitting in her chair with a smug grin on her face which she was happily tapping her fingers on the table.
Oh... so this joke for... I will give her a joke... if she doesn't dies of heart attack. I quickly moved behind her and took off my invisibility cloak and cancelled all the charms and leaned down behind her ear.
"Boo!" Just as I said, "Kyaaaahhh"Amelia screamed like a liite school girl who had seen a ghost and jumped on her table and floopped down on the floor. I almost felt bad for her... almost.
Amelia immediately shot up and pointed her wand in my direction and finally lowered it after seeing that it was me but her cheeks also reddened in embarrassment. "Fuck you! Fuck you Edgar! My heart almost jumped out my mouth... I can still feel my heart around my throat" Amelia said putting a hand on her chest and flopped down on the guest chairs and started to breathe heavily.
"Sorry... it was too good of a chance to give up. It's only fair after you decided to prank me" I said and sat down on Amelia's chair.
"Fuck you bastard! Morgana's saggy tits! How the hell did you get behind me?" Amelia exclaimed while glaring at me.
"Language" I said in a scolding tone and opened the cabinet where Amelia kept her firewhisky and pulled out a glass and bottle for her. I raised my head and saw Amelia was still try to bore a hole in my head with her glare. I quickly poured her a drink and pulled out the files. Her eyes immediately turned towards the files.
"Did you take a peek?" Amelia asked while I handed her the files.
"Just to check if they are the right files or not. After all I spend more time in there to clean any signs that someone broke in there... Magical People are stupid but they can still change the plans... I don't that happening" I said and leaned back on her chair and looked around her room. Her table was a mess because she jumped on it. I waved my hand and fixed everything like it was. It was nifty spell I picked up but it was obviously a dark spell according to Ol Twinkles and Ministry.
"You know that was a dark spell, right?" Amelia said while her eyes were still in the files.
"According to whom? Fuck them... as long as your didn't cast it... it doesn't matter after all sensors don't get wrong" I said nonchalantly.
"There have finally gone nuts... they must be completely off their rocker if they have honestly planned this" Amelia said still reading the files. I leaned on her table which she must have noticed as looked up from the files.
"They are introducing another cup... the original Tri-Wizard Cup which they are going to use select the 7th year students and they have arranged another cup. A sliver cup made by goblins... they are going to use this cup select students in the age group of 14-16. That means 4th year to 6th year..." Amelia said fianally putting down the files and started to rub her head.
"Yep... this is golden... yeah why not. Let 14th students participate in the same events where even 7th year students gets fried" I said and I have already started to think if I should participate to not.
"At least the good thing is the Silver Cup won't rip off your magic if you decided to drop out" Amelia said gulping down the whole glass of firewhisky. I opened the bottle and poured another glass for her to which she nodded appreciatingly.
"Well... that's good but what are going to stop the students from backing away?" I asked in confusion. After all, if they are going to such length to get 6 participants so they can't have students backing out.
"Well, they are only free until the 1st week of selection after that you can't back out or you will be paralyzed for a year... magically" Amelia said while gulping down the whole drink again.
Damn... that's even better. If someone want to get out then paralyze them for a year, why not? After all, this is the Magical World who the fuck cares for logic? Logic can get fucked... we will do whatever we like...!!
"I am seriously considering killing all these stupid people. There is line" I said to which Amelia nodded her head.
"I honestly think that sometime too... that Moron Fudge is going to be the first one I am going to gut. He creeps the hell out of me and thank Merlin you killed that Pink Toad" Amelia said while gritting her teeth.
"Honestly, I never met that Pink Toad before that day but something from inside was telling me to kill her" I said while nodding my head sagely.
"So, what are you going to do? Join the tournament?" Amelia asked me.
"Honestly, I am not sure... I don't know. Yes, I am interested... and if I participate I will have a good chance to win but I don't know... at least I can't confirm anything now" I said to her. It's true... I wasn't sure... yes, I was really curious and interested to see the changes in First Person perspective by participating but I am not sure if I wanted to throw myself into that or not.
After that, Amelia checked the rest of the files which were details about the proposed tasks as none of them were confirmed. They have noted down 27 tasks as of now but only 6 will be selected for the tournament. It was already late so both of us decided to take our leave from here and call it a day...
--
A/N: I wanted to do a vote for whom you wanted in the tournament. The vote is going be between Rumi and Reo. If Rumi is selected the 4th year is going to be centred around her like it happened with Nemuri. I personally think that Rumi would be best here as is wanting a challenge and didn't get much chance to fight. So, please like the comments in this paragraph, I am going to post down their names.
