A Mutant's Ascension

[POV Reo(Edgar)]

I arrived just outside the Little Hangletown, this was the first time I was visiting. So, I apparated just outside the town, the reason was quite simple for doing this, after all I didn't know any places or buildings here so I hoped to avoid apparating inside someone's house or directly into a wall.​​

After arriving, I quickly donned my invisibility cloak and applied scent masking charms, noise cancelling charms, and Homenum Revelio nullifying charm. Finding the Riddle Manor was not hard but there was another problem as the Riddle manor was completely empty for now... I didn't even need to sneak inside and from the dust and filth inside it was quite clear that no one has entered this place for a long time.

So, I went to the next location they could be using. Little Hangletown graveyard, I didn't expect them living in the graveyard but I wanted to check if Frank Byrce was still alive or not. If he was alive then Babymort haven't arrived here after all he is killed after Nagini informs Babymort that someone heard his plans. I quickly found Frank Bryce's small shack just outside the graveyard. I quickly leaned through the window and memory charmed the guy.

It was planting some new ideas inside his head, yes, if he was a magical then it would be difficult but I could still do it... but with non-magicals it was easy as fuck as he couldn't fight the new memories. I didn't change much... I just planted the idea inside his head that he was getting old and wanted to look in some new places before he died. I know not a good reason but it works so, who gives a fuck?

With that done I quickly apparated directly in front of Bones Manor. The sun was already up as I had spent a lot of time in Little Hangletown looking around. I wanted to mess with the grave of Riddle Snr but I held myself back as I was quite sure that Babymort would check that after arriving there. I didn't want to tip my hand so soon... but before that I needed to make sure that Bertha Jorkins was alive or not. Walking upto the front door I knocked.

After a few seconds passed the door was opened by a irritated Amelia who was glaring at me.

"How did you know it was me?" I asked her slightly curious.

"Hah... like anyone else would dare to come here at this time. Only you do that" Amelia said while ushering me in. She got a point I guess...

"Good enough" I said and quickly went to her kitchen and sat down.

"So why are you here? Did something happen?" Amelia asked me while she was already preparing coffee for herself.

"Yes, something did happen... apparently Noseless is growing stronger... my bet is on that he got himself a body of some kind" I said while leaning on the table.

"And how did you find that?" Amelia asked looking really interested in the topic now.

"Harry saw it in a dream, through the connection he has. So, made me rach the conclusion that Noseless is getting stronger" I spoke and pulled out a phone and threw it to Amelia. Who caught it instinctively.

"So, you are finally giving me this? And how in Merlin's name I am gonna use this contraption?" Amelia said while poking the phone with her fingers like she had seen me doing.

I spent the next hour explaining hoe to use the thing and she was amazed by how the thing worked. She immediately wanted her Auror corps to be equipped with this but I told her maybe in future.

"Amelia keep your eyes open... I have heard a few whispers about Barty Crouch Jnr being alive I need you to keep your eyes in Department of Magical Games" I told Amelia to which which she was quite surprised.

"But how? Barty Crouch Jnr died in Azkaban" Amelia said while putting the phone down.

"Not necessarily... there are several ways to fake death. Just keep your eyes and ears open" I said to which she nodded.

"How is the ingredient hunt going?" I asked her while looking towards the owl who entered the kitchen carrying the latest edition of Daily Prophet.

"Nice... I have already arranged everything. We will have everything on hand two days before July 31st. Only one ingredient is off the market, the venom of Pearl Cobra... it's a breed of magical king cobra. Completely white and shiny like show and pearl... usually found in the Himalayas" Amelia said while huffing in annoyance.

"Well... the problem is they are really hard to find and everything we get from those snakes are only used in very very rare rituals... so there is no demand in the market and the next problem is they are quite fast and venomous sometimes even compared with Basilisk venom. Because of their colour they could easily move in snow without getting noticed" Amelia said... I can clearly see her point now but still with money someone should be willing to do the job, right?

"So, what are we going to do about it? Hire someone?" I asked Amelia who shook her head.

"Not gonna happen... no one would agree especially at this time as this is their mating season when they are very aggressive. I think you have to do it" Amelia said while giving me a pointy look. She must be joking... right?

"You are kidding, right?" I asked Amelia.

"Nope... not in the slightest" Amelia said in a serious tone clearly making her point.

I just stared at her for a few seconds... I finally relented and nodded my head which made Amelia smile. I wouldn't out it past her using this as a chance to get back on me... I would do my own research before I start my own venture.

With everything done and said I returned to Castle Ravenclaw and after getting changed in normal clothes I decided to do my own research on these creatures. What I found wasn't to far from what Amelia said but she either forgot or didn't know that this snakes have a mild notice-me-not charm on their scales which made them unnoticeable until late. I decided to take another experts view on this matter.

I quickly wrote down a letter to dear Luna, yes, she is quite eccentric and unique but she knows her stuff. And her stuff relates to magical creatures. Though I don't expect to know anything new from her but it never hurts to try.

Two weeks passed in an blink of eye and I had already received a reply from Luna and she said the exact things I found in the books and Amelia told me. It was true that it was their mating season and no one would risk going after a Pearl Cobra now. So, the last verdict was if I needed to get their venom then I had to do it myself... quite annoying.

"Honey~ what's eating you up?" I heard a husky voice behind me and two arms snaked around my body. While one was stroking my chest and other went directly into my pants and grabbed my dick and started to stroke it gently. I didn't need to be an genius or use my powers to figure out who this person was.

"Just planning to have a trip on Himalayas. I told you all about the Pearl Cobra" I said while sighing. I would say her hand on my member felt great.

"Ooh... is that so? You look like you some some tension here... let me help you out" the husky voice spoke while caressing my balls now. Nemuri finally moved in front of me and sat down on my thigh. She was already out of her clothes... it's not like she wore any inside the Castle most of the times. I already knew what was going to happen and I would be a dumbass to complain...

[Three Days Later]

"Why did I agree to accompany you?" Dora asked while shuddering in cold.

"Because you won the rock paper scissors and you thought date on a mountain would be romantic" I said dryly. Both me and Dora finally arrived in Himalayas. We used a portkey made by goblins to arrive here after all, I wanted to keep my trip a secret.

Yesterday, the girls held a rock paper scissors competition to decide who was going to accompany me. Dora won the competition and at that time she thought that it would be romantic but it didn't end up like she had imagined. When both of us arrived Dora ended up face planted in the snow. And now she found out that her heating charm was not strong enough to nullify the cold here and she had also underestimated the cold here.

I casted a heating charm on Dora. With my heating charm Dora finally looked to relax. The porkkey goblins gave us dropped at the safest place as it was quite flat without any kind of slant. I wonder if goblins themselves use this place. After all, there are several kinds of rare plants, animals in the Himalayas which are sold in very high prices because of their rarity and where goblins are interested wherever gold or money is involved.

"Let's look around. We still have a lot of time so don't worry. Let's use the heat vision to look around" I said to Dora to which she nodded. Yes, I know that snakes don't have too much body heat but they have enough body heat so that we can distinguish between something living and snow. I quickly catsed the spell on myself and Dora and both of us started to walk upwards hand in hand...
