Candidate Rebirth
AN: someone mentioned how Vert agreed to consider Hogwarts so fast, and what I can say to this is, Chloe used her HDD which she HATES to have a clear head for the conversation, if that's not something to cool down tempers I don't know what is.
AN2: this is early for this, but I plan on altering, in a way that it doesn't matter in the Wizarding world, how the killing curse works. It can't affect those ten to twenty levels, depending on MDEF, higher than caster, since average for an adult wizard is 15, and no wizards have high MDEF (MDEF ranked between F and D+), an adult wizard could kill anybody in Wiz world.
Chapter 7: Shopping.
Three days later the old man returned to meet the goddess of Leanbox, and he hoped that the meeting would go better than last time.
The meeting was in the same room as last time, with the same participants, although the mood in the room was more hostile than the start of the first meeting, but far less so than when he left the last time.
He couldn't look any of the three in the eye though... he had found on the internet some drawn pictures, and comics, of them in rather... intimate positions...
Shaking his head he banished those memories to a deep and dark corner of his mind, hoping he didn't stash them where they would mix with something else to be truly horrifying.
Breakfast was delivered to the four, and they started talking over the meal.
"We have spoken about your offer," Vert started off. "and while we think that your idea has merit, if for no other reason than to bring in new ideas, there are a few major problems."
"Such as?" Dumbledore asked.
"First, there needs to be enough share energy for her to survive, and if necessary, fight, as we stated before. Next she has obligations, both as a CPU candidate, and her sports team, you would need to allow her to return for both the responsibilities, and practice. Also I wouldn't dream of sending her without her partner," Vert explained.
"We can give you a device to indicate when you have enough shares, and will work on a way to get her there, and communicate with us, but until we succeed you would be responsible for both," Chika added.
"What I want to know, is how will we know whether you will try and force me back with them," Chloe hissed venomously.
The last one to speak made him flinch, and he took a deep breath, and answered the comments. "I am headmaster of the school, I can easily add a game room... and it might be useful for discipline, assuming these... counsels work at Hogwarts. Yes, that would work, make them want to behave unless want the privilege of using them taken away. Transportation I can arrange through Fawkes, and the partner is no problem, there are provisions for bodyguards for VIPs, and the sister of a goddess could easily qualify. As for the Dursleys... there's no point since you no longer seem to share any blood with them. I would ask that you consider bringing Dudley here, he has been in an orphanage since his parents and aunt were arrested."
"Why should we? I remember him being quite the bully to Harry," Chloe commented snidely.
Dumbledore frowned, he had thought that the time, and separation would've blunted the emotions toward the family, at least the cousin. His thoughts were interrupted by Vert.
"I can't agree to letting him live near my sister, but... if he's willing to face the work, and the danger, I could call in a favor to apprentice him to a guild member. But I would expect him to work hard, and be respectful of his fellow guildmates."
"What is this... Guild you keep mentioning?" Dumbledore asked cautiously.
Chika took up the explanation, "The Guild, is a place where people place requests, from culling the monster population, a never ending task, to gathering various materials and drops. It's a dangerous, but rewarding line of work, and very respected too. There isn't any other options for someone his age, since I'm assuming he isn't older than Chloe's physical age."
Dumbledore frowned, he really couldn't accept putting a child in danger like that. On the other hand, he had checked up on Dudley before coming here, and the boy was being severely bullied. The headmaster shook his head and responded, "I can't accept putting a child in danger like that, but I will think more on it."
The next five hours, were taken up with ironing out the details, as well as arranging for some of Dumbledore's gold coins to be converted to credits, based off the value of the gold, and to arrange for a large amount of counsels, games, TVs, and a nice magitech generator to be delivered to the basilicom. They also taught him how to hook one up, something a five year old child from Gameindustry could do.
Well except for the generator, which was just a case of placing it somewhere and turning it on, and plugging in some extension cords and powerbars.
Lunch had come ad gone by the time he was finished. He also decided to leave a red stone in a bank deposit box for safe keeping.
When his phoenix was fully grown, he left the world of Gameindustry richer in knowledge, and much poorer in pocket.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
Two years later, as well as another six levels,(EN2) Chloe was waiting at the Basilicom entryway with Cyberconnect2, for they had just received a message that the share energy at Hogwarts, and to a lesser extent Great Briton, had reached the required level. Leanbox, with the help of Planitune had upgraded their LeanPhone (EN) to allow the ability to talk between worlds, theoretically at least. It works between the Hyperdimension and Megadimension at least.
Chloe had grown even more confident in the past two years, she was still shy at times, but no longer needed to hide behind others at all times. Although she still liked the pretend anonymity of her cloak. Pretend, because everybody knows she wore it.
Vert wanted to come, but there was a meeting between the CPUs scheduled for today, about the increasingly unusual spawning. The casualties were fortuitously still light, but they didn't want to count on it continuing. Plus the share energy, while it had gotten to the point that it was sufficient for Chloe, was insufficient to support them both.
Next year Vert planned on using a sharcite crystal to go if the shares themselves aren't high enough.
Back to the duo whom were starting to get impatient at the author being sidetracked, and wanted to meet their guide, they noticed a ball of fire disgorging a greasy haired man and a bird.
"Are you two the one's I'm escorting? The so called goddess, and her partner," the greasy hared man said. His mouth then snapped shut, as he realized that the entire street was looking at him with a great deal of hostility.
"I assume your the professor Dumbledore sent? Here's a word of advice, do not insult a goddess or candidate in their own nation, especially in public, it tends to piss people off. I am Chloe, Goddess candidate for Leanbox, and you are?"
The man gulped as he noticed the number of people starting to pull weapons, or cast spells, only to halt when the cloaked girl in front of him raised her hand in a stop gesture. They respected her too much to not listen to her, as she was devoted to her nation and worked hard for them, while at the same time had hobbies that made her seem approachable. She then continued, "If you can't remain civil, leave, and tell the headmaster to send someone else."
The man stopped and considered how the girl was able to stop the angry mob with a single gesture, and decided to play nice, besides there was something about those eyes that caught his attention.
Not to mention the power that was starting to leak from her and her partner, power that made the last dark lord look like a child throwing a temper tantrum.
"My apologies, there are no goddesses where I come from, so my doubts took over. I am Professor Snape, Potions Professor at Hogwarts. I will be taking you shopping for your school supplies. Do you have everything you need? Such as items from the list I know Dumbledore gave you to trade for galleons?"
After getting the assent he ordered the two to hold onto him while the flying self roasting chicken flamed them to Diagon Alley, more specifically, Gringotts.
"Professor Dumbledore recommended we also check weather you have any accounts, seems pointless to me," Snape said, mumbling the last part, which was caught by the two females in the party.
It took them nearly an hour to find a goblin free enough to perform the tests, and to convert the saleable items, mainly some elemental gems, into galleons.
The results would have shocked only the male in the group, if he had been allowed to see them, but as he was forced to stay outside the room, although part of the results surprised Chloe.
Name: Chloe
Date of Birth: July 31st 1981
Age: Full magical maturity due to unaging status of body. 6 (13 due to full reincarnation)
Level: 40
Status: Reincarnation, complete.
Previous Incarnation: Harry Potter
Date of Death: July 31st 1989
The goblin was confused at the level, as that particular 'stat' had never appeared in this test before.
Due to the reincarnation being complete, with all memories intact, Chloe is eligible to inherent the Potter Vaults and family name.
Chloe looked at the goblin and asked, "Do I need a key or something to access those vaults? I would also like to make a new vault for myself under the ID Leanbox, and fill it with the proceeds of these items.
Chloe then dropped the large bag of saleable stuff on the goblin's desk.
The goblin looked through the bag and nodded, the amount of money from these unique, on Earth at least, gemstones and minerals would be substantial.
"That is no problem, we can recall all the copies of the vault keys, they should have been retrieved after the potters died anyway, we will also perform a full audit to make sure no funds were unlawfully removed," the goblin they were speaking to said. "It will take time to appraise what you brought, in the meantime We will send you to the Potter trust vault. GRIPHOOK GET YOUR LAZY ASS IN HERE!"
A younger goblin came in, and asked in a surly voice, "You called sir?"
"Take this child, and her companions, to the Potter trust vault, and open it for them, we are going to need to retrieve all the keys, and a full audit," commanded the older goblin.
The trip to the vault was mildly interesting to Chloe and Cyberconnect2, but not extraordinary, unlike the rocket powered rollercosters in the Planatune theme park.
Yes, Plutia and Neptune made a rocket powered roller coaster, one that went between both dimensions and even past the stratosphere twenty minutes of pure adrenaline.
The only thing better for Chloe was her private jet... the fastest, most maneuverable, and most advanced military model in all four nations.
Vert refused to go on the roller coaster, or fly with Chloe, she's that insane while flying.
Shaking her head, Chloe gathered a few hundred of the gold coins, and departed back to the surface.
A quick discussion between the three had them split up, Chloe to get her wand, since she refuses to wear the uniform, and Dumbledore surprisingly agreeable to it, since Chloe could be called upon at any time to duty, and her clothing is as much an identifying mark as her face and abilities, hence why most goddesses tend to have closets full of the same, or similar clothes.
They also get damaged in combat quite often.
Snape went to get the Potion stuff with money provided by Chloe and asking to get a cauldron made of a material that doesn't have lead, even if it cost more, Cyberconnect2 went for the trunk, with instructions to make sure it has enough room, and some of the miscellaneous stuff, such as parchment, telescope, and other supplies.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
Inside the wand shop, Chloe was sheepishly standing over the concussed form of the wandmaker, thankful that she had held back, otherwise she might have splattered the man's head all across the wall.
She kneeled down and pulled out a couple of Nepbulls, and forced the man to drink them.
"Sorry about that," she said as she helped the now healed man up.
"It's fine young lady, I should really drop that habit, now let us see what we can do for you... actually what happened to your old wand? Your old enough to have had one before," he asked.
"Never had one, I'm starting slightly late."
"Very well, Let's start with this, Oak and Dragon Heartstring," He said handing said wand to the girl whom gave it a wave...
…
…
BANG the wand exploded with such force wooden shrapnel flew all around the room, only missing the old man because he was standing behind Chloe.
The old man frowned. This little girl had overloaded the wand, and it was one of the sturdier ones.
"I'm afraid that I might not be able to help you, you overloaded that wand so easily," the old man said.
"Could you try and craft one out of these materials?' Chloe asked, handing him a long blonde hair, and a wooden bone.
"Hmmmm..." the old man said as he looked at the materials. The hair looked human, but the power coming off of it definitely was not. The wood also had some latent power, enough that a wand crafted from the two would be able to survive much more power going through it. "Yes, this would probably work, may I ask who, or what that hair came from?"
"My sister, and I expect that either the entire hair be used, or the remaining be returned."
The old man nodded, and said, "Come back a few hours before you catch the train to Hogwarts, I will have it ready by then."
Chloe nodded, and left.
The old man looked at the hair, then pulled another hair down, this one long and purple, and comparing the feel of energy between the two started laughing maniacally.
The muggleborn that was about to enter the shop slowly backed out upon hearing him cackle.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
Chloe was the first to reach the bookstore, which was the meeting place, and start browsing.
She collected all the books on the list, and put them in a basket that had a space expansion charm, and a lightening charm on it, then started looking for supplementary books.
She avoided the biting books, wondering whom was stupid enough to make them, it was much worse than the stupid "Invisible Book of Invisibility", which was invisible until it was opened.
She picked up a copy anyway when she accidentally found it.
She picked up the books for the rest of the years, and the electives, except for the biting books. She scowled at the Harry Potter books, but didn't raise a fuss as he was no longer that boy.
She was hoping that she would be better at potions than she was at cooking, if not, she will insist she be banned.
Like she was from cooking anything more than scooping out ice cream from a carton. This was after her peanut butter and jelly sandwich tried to eat her, or was it the salad that started spewing toxic fumes after she added the lettuce, or it could've been the tea kettle that started spewing fire when she was going to try to make hot water for instant ramen... and that was before she started the stove.
The scoop she used for ice cream was quarantined and only she was allowed to use it... just in case.
Anyway, she had finished with her shopping just as Cyberconnect2 came in with a three compartment bottomless trunk, which was promptly loaded in with the books, and Chloe didn't realize she got the invisible book for free... because the teller couldn't see it.
The professor arrived soon afterwords, and after loading the second compartment with the potion ingredients, and finding out that neither of them were currently interested in pets, left the store with them, and called the phoenix to take them back to Gameindusry.
'I'm getting sick of this,' the bird thought.
After the bird and man left, Chloe went inside to put away her trunk, and look over some of the books, and spend time with her sister. She had only a month left until she had to leave after all... so she was eager to spend as much time with her as possible.

EN: Think i-Phone
EN2: they currently are not in 'crisis time' level up situations, so they level up a lot slower in the games.
