Someone massaging me
Clearly you are either using a translator, or English is not your first language. You have an interesting plot concept, as I've never read a story which takes place in this time period. I'm encouraging you to continue to pursue this story. However, you need a beta, or proof reader who knows English. My mind is having to make one or more corrections per sentence just to make sense of what your story is telling me. That isn't a good sign. Great concept, but needs a lot of work on the execution of the written word. Good luck.

Thank you for all your massage I usually personally reply some question from the reader but I intend to clear something, so first off all thank you kind sir for your word of encouragement for English is indeed is not my native language and for that I said to do not worry for I already send PM to some people in community in search for some BETA reader and in case someone interested on became one you could PM-me (In case I have not found one then I could only genuinely said sorry for that means everything you read is that I wrote directly without filter).
The second is all my story is my genuine idea that I put into writing which is why I sometime triple check is something wrong with the words and grammar in the entirety of the story (Sorry if there is still something missed by me) after all mistake supposed to be make ;), so my story is not some story writes in another writing forum like AO3 or Webnovel that I (God forbid) translate into this site (As I only have one account and that is in ) and I do not understand another language between my native language and English.
So that is all from me and once again please PM-me I appreciate it if you interested into became BETA reader for my story, Thank you all.
Chapter 2 Great Haul
'Okay so next in the list is an messenger owl' Naruto make a number with fingers to remembering his next priority needs 'better make it fast before night'
"Okay, next stop Eeylops Owl Emporium" Naruto cheerfully stated before noticing that all people around him looking at him oddly, embarrassed Naruto rubbing the back of his head,
'Well will I look at this, old habit is indeed die hard' Naruto noticing his behaviour.
'If I'm not wrong Ollivander said that is it located on north-side 521 Diagon Alley' Naruto dragging his feet walking through the sea of people even though the sun starting to set in the afternoon the livelihood amuses even Naruto who used to mingle in what people Britain Magical people called as Muggle,
Luckily or unluckily for Naruto he is too drawn into the buzzling shops of Diagon Alley that Naruto finally notice that almost every shop that intend to be shop that the north-side is actually near entrance of Leaky Cauldron,
'What the…? For Merlin beard how did I miss that, stupid…stupid…stupid…', In frustration Naruto reflexively starting to put his hand hands in hair but luckily before he done that while jumping around Naruto starting to take a really deep breath and starting reasoning,
'Remember Naruto I do indeed came here with limited amount of money of course my first priority is Gringotts so I could withdraw money there',
Naruto take a calming smile 'Okay…okay…calm down Naruto you already ages have a lot of experiences no need to sulk',
Naruto tries to convince himself 'Just do it like usual priority…priority…what do I really need first that really important what I really…really…need is for right now is spare clothes and possibly tux for big event',
Naruto started to remember his conversation with Ricbert, realize that it would open the possibility that he should be mingling with other prominent houses or Ministry people for at that matter.
"Okay let start with Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasion then" Naruto muttered but his body and legs direct him to the other shop for Naruto eyes already spying this shop before,
"Bring me the biggest size ice cream that you have" Naruto stated as soon as he entered Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour,
-A couple hour later-
Naruto walking out of Florean Ice Cream Parlour feeling satisfied for the owner Florean is a nice establishment owner that directly serve his own costumer even though the Ice Cream Parlour establishment is small but it got covered by Florean whom Naruto notice wholeheartedly love Ice Cream for when he sees Naruto unto his third serving approach him and start to converse with him. From his observation Naruto realize that Florean not only a superb confectioner but also a really good historian for he could always give explanation to Naruto about Wizarding Britain history and pointing foreign Wizarding World assumption about Great Britain Wizarding Community especially after Gellert Grindelwald.
Naruto unconsciously patting his stomach and almost burp cause he is full but fortunately for Naruto with his reflex that he could quickly cover his mouth before passers-by could hear him burping.
'Okay, just need to focus what for the thing I must do',
Naruto thought but once again his face drawn to other shop beside Madam Makin's that drawing Naruto next attention, the establishment name is Magical Menagerie that located right across Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour, Naruto then decided to go there walking right into the store front. Step in inside the store Naruto sees that the store is full of cages with pets on display, the place itself is noisy and smelly with every inch of the wall covered by cages.
"Welcome our dear costumer welcome to the Magical Menagerie where we sell all kind of pet magical creatures" an old guy wearing black spectacles approach Naruto,
"I thought when I look this store Magical Menagerie name that this store is going to sell rare or at least unordinary magical beast" disappointment marred Naruto voice,
"We do indeed sir just look around we do indeed have all type a really rare magical creature and everything we sell here is magical creatures permit that been allow to be sell by ministry rules" the proprietor stated,
"With all due respect sir even though all the magical creatures here is beautiful enough to catch the eyes of unknown or maybe first time Wizards or Witches but for mostly Wizard and Witches that educated in the field of magical creatures they will know immediately that creatures in this shop is mostly is an ordinary magical creature" Naruto shaking his head disappointed,
"The rarest magical creature that I could see here sir in this shop, is fire crab due to their overhunt by Wizard and muggle alike for values of their properties they are carries and for the rest that I see here in this store is mostly ordinary if both of us not counting Kneazles that overhunt by muggles that you got here",
The proprietor mouth agape for Naruto knowing that indeed the rarest magical creature that he have in his display is indeed fire crab that hunted by muggles for they heavy jewelled shell and Wizard and Witches who used their shells as highly prized cauldron that is why whomever buying or selling fire crab need a special license permit from their Wizarding Government,
"Are you from the Ministry?" the proprietor suspiciously ask Naruto his gaze harden,
"Do I like people whom work in the government ministry?" Naruto lightly replied,
"Are you really though?!" the proprietor sharpen his gaze towards Naruto,
"All I want to know if you have some magical creature that I seek that worth more than in your display that worth your and my time" Naruto then handle 2 galleon towards the proprietor,
"What do you seek?" he asked towards Naruto,
"A phoenix" Naruto easily reply,
"Abandon your desire young man for phoenix is not an ordinary magical creature, based on your thought about my front store display I assume you are somehow is quite knowledgeable about magical creature so you must already know that phoenix is rarely could be domesticated" the proprietor has a disbelief look towards Naruto,
"Unfortunately I have immediate need for one except you selling a vial full of phoenix tears" Naruto stated,
The proprietor then gesturing with his finger asking Naruto to following him towards the back shop then the proprietor then take out his wand and makes some sequence then the brick wall along the cage is get pulled back and make an entrance in perfect narrow size that could only allow one person to be walking through it, in there Naruto caught an glimpse of an Occamy eggs and other magical creature.
"Here…wait here",
The proprietor then walking towards one of incubator case then take out one of them and then bringing out toward Naruto,
"How much for it?" Naruto asked the proprietor when he bring out a glowing red eggs,
"A hundred galleon for not all of magical creature store had and sell phoenix egg" hearing this words Naruto eyes almost bulging out when then the proprietor laugh when he sees Naruto eyes almost bulging out of his socket "Just give me fifty galleon for this egg it is a fair trade after; all what is cost me to get this single egg"
Naruto then heavily took out fifty galleon he almost tempted into the idea of coerce him to lower the price but decide to not to do it considering phoenix is indeed hard to found less more catch it and they are known for its rarity ability to disappear and appear at will in burst of flames moreover he himself already stated that he wants and have a need with phoenix tears, that is when Naruto heard a woman hissing sound.
"Is there something else you want?" the proprietor asked Naruto when he see Naruto looking around,
"Actually sir do you mind I am looking around for a bit more" Naruto quickly handle his payment for the egg and take the case,
"No, just look around and notice me if you see something that caught your interest" the proprietor happily reply after he accept his payment,
"Let me go…release me…" Once again the sound of a woman hissing caught in Naruto ears,
Looking around and noticing that he is indeed alone Naruto then fasten his step and walk directly towards the source of the sound of woman that hissing,
"Let me go…I want to go back out there with Credence"
Naruto then see a big cage with a single enormous snake inside of it,
"Are you okay ma'am?" Naruto asked,
Shocked the snake turn his head towards Naruto voice sound, "You! Are you talking to me?! Can you understand me?!" the snake desperate voice caught Naruto off guard,
"Is not is obvious enough ma'am" Naruto easily reply,
"Oh thank goodness…I think I am going to lost it…I think I am going to be lonely for the rest of my life because no one could understand me…" Naruto at loss for words for what he assume sobbing voice of the snake,
"Um…Eto…Sorry, ma'am could at least tell me what ail you so I could at least help you?" Naruto Japanese accent came out when try to calm the snake down,
"So let us start from beginning okay? My name is Naruto what is yours?" Naruto coughing a little before he is starting to talk,
"Nagini" the snake reply shortly,
"Nagini…Nagini…Nagini…what a beautiful name" Naruto tested the snake name a couple of times,
"So what is a great snake like you doing in a cage?"
"Snake? Snake? Do I look like a snake to you I am HUMAN!" Nagini then start to hiss before try attack Naruto but the cage bar prevent her from doing it, the sudden increase of malevolence shock Naruto,
"I see a Maledictus Curse huh…" Naruto put his left hand on his chin
"You knew!" Nagini shock that Naruto know,
"Well not at first, at first I just thought you as a snake…" Naruto gesture with his hand for Nagini to be patience and hear him out,
"But then the sudden increase of hostility when try to attack me when your eyes start to black out and I assume your action become uncontrollable due to aggressive nature" Naruto reply honestly for when he sees Nagini embarrassment,
"Do not worry though ma'am actually there is way to turn off the Maledictus curse"
"Really?" Nagini look doubtful to Naruto,
"It is the truth ma'am even though there are a certain prohibition and taboo that must not been break when you are in your Maledictus form" Naruto giving Nagini a hopeful look,
"Like what?" Nagini curiously asked,
"Do you ma'am in your maledictus form consciously attack Wizard, Witches and muggles or human alike?" Nagini slowly nod.
"Do you in your maledictus form ever consume human alike?" Nagini hurriedly shake her head,
"Okay ma'am this is the last question even though this question might seem like a joke to the most but this one is the most taboo thing that a maledictus must not do" Naruto look at Nagini seriously in the eyes,
Nagini gulping before she answer "Ask away"
"Do you ma'am ever do lovemaking or sex with animal or human alike in your maledictus form?"
Nagini wait for a good couple of minutes before she shakes her head for shocked against such question.
"Is it good then that it means your maledictus curse it is still been reversible" Naruto confidently pat his chest,
"Are all of this its true?" Nagini faintly hopes,
Naruto confidently nod his head "Of course what we need is some virgin blood, some phoenix ashes, some water from kappa head, teeth from kraken and some other's stuff and some ritual then voila it is done"
Nagini just stone standing hearing Naruto words,
"Are you really sure?"
"How many time I must tell you ma'am, believe it I am going to break your curse"
"Nagini…my name is Nagini"
"Right then, it is nice to work you Nagini" Naruto cheerfully reply.
Naruto then walking away from Nagini before came to the store proprietor,
"Is there something else you want?" the proprietor has hoping for Naruto to purchase more from his store.
"That is right sir, I want to purchase the enormous snake in those big cage" Naruto pointing towards Nagini cage,
The proprietor eyes grown wide when his eyes followed the direction of the cage,
"My advice for you abolish such thoughts and to not do it young man for that snake already attacking many men when they first find it during the aftermath of global wizarding war that snake send here after that and continued to stay there to it vicious nature we are going to release it in the Albanian forest"
"Lucky for me then, to found it before it get release" Naruto smile,
The shop proprietor seriously look at Naruto wondering if he serious with his words, the proprietor then sigh,
"It will belong to you if you take it from my hand then I consider the previous two galleon from you as the payment for it, after all if I decided to release it free in Albanian forest I will get charge more for accommodation, personnel not counting the security for it" the proprietor mumble his last words,
"Glad to know…we agree then, could you send it to the place I stay?" Naruto ask,
"Sure there is no problem with that" the shop owner reply
"Okay then please send it to my room in Leaky Cauldron room number 11 by the name of Naruto"
'What an odd name' the proprietor thought while taking notes,
"What is your full name then young man? For this is a dangerous beast so we need to catalogue them in case they run away or the owner release them in ordinary place that could cause casualties moreover you going to need a permit license for it that been approve by ministry" the proprietor explain when he sees Naruto raise his eyebrow,
"What about the phoenix though?" Naruto curiously ask,
"It is very very…very…likely you are going to need it for not all could tame four star magical creature, I am also does not want my store name involve with it for I dread what will happen if ministry and other heard that I have and sell phoenix egg" a look of fear appear on proprietor face,
"Can you just do the same with the phoenix with the snake? And scrub the permit?" Naruto look curiously at him after all he already get phoenix egg illegally it does not matter if there another one of illegal magical creature,
The proprietor tsk to Naruto "it is different even if you get phoenix egg illegally it does not mean you could 'magically' bond with it moreover phoenix bond for life with the person it bond with and they are peaceful creature that only be count with one hand people who successfully bond with it so a permit would not even needed but it would be different case with your snake though young man, for we would needed it to move to your place its cage will attract many people that will see it; also it is a wild and vicious creature that attack people as much as I tempt to take off my store name from the permit so my store will not get involve they mostly know that those snake came from my shop so it is still my duty to make sure at least there would not be a victim in case something bad happen" the proprietor said while writing the permit paper,
Naruto snort when he heard this for he knows when heard something bad happen mean in case Naruto release the snake in common place and start to attack people because he could not handle it.
"So what should I write in the paper your snake name?"
"Nagini"
"Nagini huh...? What an odd chosen name",
Naruto just shrugged his shoulder,
"Could you at least feed Nagini before you send her to my place" Naruto ask,
'Her?' the proprietor weirdly thought before quickly shake his head,
"A galleon more and I will makes sure to get it an doe to fill it for a month before it would needed to be feed again"
"Thank you sir" Naruto handed another galleon and the proprietor shake his hand towards Naruto to tell him to never mind that,
"Is there anything else?"
"No, that is all…then it is nice doing business with you sir" Naruto shake the proprietor hand
"Nice doing business with you too Naruto come back later whenever you in search for another Magical Creature" the proprietor smile,
Naruto nod then walk outside of the store noticing a rather short time he have, Naruto decided to go to Madam Malkin's store first. Naruto then take out his Mokeskin pouch and then put the case that contain phoenix egg inside his Mokeskin pouch before entering Madam Malkin's store, inside of the store an elderly couple with the man been measured by a squat smiling witch that dress in mauve clothing.
"What a second dear we almost wrap up in here" the woman in mauve clothing said when she see Naruto enter the store,
Naruto nodding before the elderly woman laugh at her,
"Really Malkin wrap up? Is it your another shop joke I hope you came with a better one considering I doubt you could 'wrap it' that fast" the elderly woman pointing towards the elderly man beer belly before both woman laugh softly,
"Really Dorea? Is it kind of you fault you know who told you to be that good at cooking?! You knew I can't resist your cooking" the elderly man grumble,
"I knew Charlus and I am really glad full for it" the elderly woman then plant a soft kiss in the man that seems fix the elderly man mood for a soft smile grace his lips before separated by a caough of woman in mauve clothing,
"Get a room you two" before the elderly couple now known as Charlus and Dorea laugh at the woman now identify as Madam Malkin,
Rather than be touched by a heart-warming scene in front of him Naruto start to doze off after caught knowing each individual names for in Naruto experience sometimes there is no need to greet someone to get or know someone name after all for Ninja basic information gathering is a must skill that Naruto dubbed as Ninja 101 learning book.
Dorea look at the silent young man that just entered the store and notice with stable breath when he close his eyes and then she look at her husband that also eyeing the young man both of them then fix their gaze towards Naruto, when Malkin sees that the couple suddenly silent Malkin followed their gaze towards Naruto that stoically standing while closing his eyes and then they look at each other and assume that the young just patiently standing there so Malkin start to walk towards Naruto but before Malkin take another step to even get closer to Naruto before Naruto subconsciously open his eyes his piercing gaze cut through them, the room then start to fill with pressure and an image of blood flow through filling the room before Naruto reflexively stop.
Dorea then shakily elbow her husband,
"What about you been measure first young man after all me and wife dress could take a while" Charlus spoke and Dorea also Malkin hurriedly nod.
XXXX
"Who do you think that young man Charlus?" Dorea ask her husband after that event in that evening on Madam Malkin's store while they take a small walk home,
"The truth Dorea is I don't know, one thing for sure he is not have come from an ordinary background" Charlus remember clothes and accessories that Naruto wears is really expensive,
"Yes I agree with that Charlus his speech is so eloquent also the way he carries himself and the way he walks…" Dorea start to shiver,
"Like a wild beast stalk his prey, his movement is soundless something that is impossible considering Madam Malkin's squeaky floor" Charlus nod admit it is something impossible to do without know about the squeaky floor,
"Do you catch his name Charlus" Dorea curiously ask her husband,
"I don't dear it is like some magic preventing us from hearing them" Dorea nodding her head towards Charlus words,
"But you did get his name from Malkin after he finish later right?!" Dorea continue,
Sweat drop from Charlus head for his wife is always known him so well "Yes I do dear, his name is Naruto he stay at Leaky Cauldron room number 11 for Malkin will deliver his clothes after she is done tailoring it"
"What?! He stays at the inn? What about his parents?" Dorea said when they reach the front door of their home,
"I don't know dear, I guess that is just another mysteries that going to need to be solve" Charlus shrugged his shoulder while opening the door,
"Yeah I guess so too, I guess I could ask Alphard if he know something…" Dorea words cut short when she felt her husband hand on her shoulder,
Charlus start to shake his head when Dorea turn to look at him directly "Leave it dear you know that the Black family have more than enough on their plate this day"
Dorea nose start to sour when she heard Charlus words and start to remember her birth family condition right now tears start to gather in the corner of her eyes,
Charlus start to cheer his wife when he sees Dorea sombre look "Don't you worry dear, did you forget that this dear husband of yours is helping Alphard right now because I told you I would do my best so rest assure because…"
Charlus words caught short when he start to glimpse at the letters deliver for him and caught a notice of letter Gringotts bank sigil on it and decide to open and read it,
Dorea start to gently laugh when she notice her husband attempt to cheer her up when her husband then start to open one of the delivered letter her husband face start to contort in disbelief she then stop her laugh and wondering what could be happen when her husband Charlus start to shed tears and the letter fall from his hand, picking up the fallen letter tears starting to fall from Dorea eyes for the letter from Gringotts came to inform them that there is possibility that they have a grandson and their grandson is staying in London right now. Long time ago Charlus and Dorea is bless with a child and like most parents their child grow up so fast for their liking so when their only child start to ask permission to go to USA they are heavily objected for MACUSA is knew worldwide for their intolerance and twisted policy so they could not help themselves as his parents by being worried for him, for even though both of them knew that their son is always has best behaviour in school and in public even when his school achievement surpasses most of his peer in his age their dear son remain humble but the situation in USA worried them as his parents but like most child their dear son stone his heart and intended to go no matter what happen so as his parents they can only give him their blessings. Charlus and Dorea is getting older so there is possibility that could no longer had a child when the devastated news arrived to them that their son is missing so they came to Britain Ministry asking for their help especially after MACUSA denied their entrance from using International portkey into USA after they asking as their son parents the situation about their son after that, days become weeks, weeks become months, months become years, and they still not getting news about their son and the only news that they got from MACUSA is their son status from MISSING to DEAD. Their hopes grin into powder of nothingness from the news in Daily Prophet that Newt Scamander and his wife almost got executed by MACUSA from simple mistake things, a news that soured a relationship between Britain Ministry and MACUSA; moreover Newt is came from Scamander a prominent Britain magical family making already soured relationship between the two ministries became fragile for with many people pointed that even if Newt is not came from prominent family he is still registered as a member of Britain Magical community that is why even if Newt makes a mistake his punishment must be delivered only and only from Britain Ministry and what makes people in wizarding world shake in disbelief that at the same time Newt almost got executed MACUSA tries to extradite Gellert Grinderwald three times that always lead to his escape that make many people believe in conspiracy theories that MACUSA tries to get rid families that is well known in their own magical community for they are afraid that someday those families will undermine their power is well accepted theories amongst wizarding world for there is none from families member of USA magical community that pass second generation even Ivermorny School founder family makes many people think if there is smoke there is fire that is makes USA is rather tour and business destination rather than a place to settle.
Charlus and Dorea finally start to hug each other and bawl their eyes out for finally there is a shed of light for them amongst the darkness that cover them entirety this whole time.
-a sometime later—
"Is this news real Charlus?" Dorea ask in disbelief for she start to pinch her cheek,
"I think so Dorea, for this letter have signature that read Ricbert Gringotts head teller" Charlus look seriously at the letter,
"What should we do then Charlus?" Dorea walking around the room restless,
"We should contact Grongotts first time in morning and then we will contact Ricbert after all he claim that Gringotts will be going to mediate our meeting that means that this is not a simple meeting with our possible grandson appearance" reply Charlus,
"No need to be hasty Dorea, after all we all this time already waiting for at least a sliver of hope that our son is indeed life. At least for now we do indeed know that he is live, what we could do for now at least is rest after all, we do not want to give our grandson a bad impression of us as his grandparents are we not?" Charlus gently squeeze Dorea hand and then wiping his wife flowing tears,
Dorea know from Charlus words that he already accept the person that has been identified by Gringotts as at least their relative by blood, even though she knew her husband heavy suspicion and view it as something normal for people like them who live amongst other Britain Noble family that like nothing more than take advantage of other misfortune, Charlus words held value for Dorea for its mean that her husband had not completely close the door of possibility that they had a grandson. So that night Charlus and Dorea could sleep well for the first time in so many years without worrying about their family legacy and the future of their family
To be continue
Author Note :
Due to some circumstances I cut this story short from my intended at least 7000 words into 4964 and counting, for my focus now is search for BETA reader because there is something disturb and bugging my mind is that if you do not understand a single thing about what I wrote then how could you like and love the story?
