Not wanting to know about it, he made his way inside his mind to found the taint, and there it was, equally frozen while a tendril could be see vanishing in the distance.

"Is that their connection with Voldie? Seeing how it"s frozen I don"t think he would even feel it snap, and since he never reacts about the loss of his Horcrux, it"s perhaps nothing more than a marker for them to rejoin him than him knowing where they are. He did always call for them through the marks of others."

While thinking at this, he chops the link, separating it from its host. While it did break it didn"t vanish. Struggling at this, he absorbs the taint and rapidly deals with it. Not being larger than a hundredth of the lowest Horcrux, the amount of soul must have been insignificant to the point he could crave his mark on them without backlash as long as he takes some time to recover the loss.

When he returns to the living land, two windows have pop up.

{[Hidden Objective:" those among us"

You have discovered that shards of Voldie were also in his minions, cleanse the taint before confronting him.

Condition: Get rid of all of the fragment before dealing the killing blow to Moldyshort.

Fragments left: 2/109

"I wasn"t expecting this. Sunny, do the elves have a way to tracks bearer of the dark mark?"

"No, master, we can"t."

"Oh, no worries, it was worth the deal. Could you send elves to see how much of the Wisengamot Lord and their friend have the mark, there should be some in Knockturn Alley too."

"I will master!" Says him before vanishing for a few seconds and returning, nodding at Alex.

Thanking his elf for the efficient work he skims through the 86 other ones to remove their fragment. Once done with them, he goes through all their memories pertaining to the mark, noting every name and face before crossing out those in front of him. Thank the fact that some like Bellatrix, were from the inner circle, he was able to obtain the name of the 22 out of his reach for the moment. Giving the list to Sunny, who then transmit it to the elves actually searching for the mark before they were a.s.signed to surveillance duty for those in the Alley owning shop. Barty was with Voldie and Snape at Hogwarts so it was only three elves.

Once done, he stores them until the days they wouldn"t be needed in this world anymore.

Since it was early and they would now live here, he chose to add parts to the house. Taking the materials out, he rapidly trans.m.u.tes the brick before adding them to the house for four additional floors. Processing slowly, he had another four-bedroom floor. With the dimension still of 10*22, each of the rooms keeps its 50 meters square size with the bathroom included.

Since the three other floors where empty, he directly enters the room to install the needs runes cl.u.s.ters in the bathroom before starting on the floor above.

The floor above the empty bedrooms was transformed into a playroom. he installs three bowling lane on the left side, creates racks for the bowling b.a.l.l.s, and a gla.s.s part.i.tion running from a wall to the other with sound dampening runes scheme. Two darts boards where added to each side, separated with the path leading to the bowling lanes, in booths.

The other half of the room was equipped with pool tables, baby-foot, a bar, and comfy couches. Wanting to keep his previous theme, he decorates it in beige walls and taupe floor with soft lights. The floor was lined with heated tiles to let them stay comfortable even with staying up for longs parties.

For the floor above the playroom, he didn"t a lot of things, three of the walls where turned in black while the four gain a large crystal screen spanning on the entire surface. On the other side of the room, comfy couches, seats, and loveseat were put and popcorn machine, drinks dispenders, and large gla.s.s bowl who would house snacks found their way to shelf on the wall.

The last floor still empty had the high of two and did take quite a few blocks of woods from his reserve, to create st.u.r.dy bookshelves, that the elves immediately start to fill, following the different sections. Their books on magic, science, language, as well as comics, would soon fill them. He also creates aisle in the room, leaving only a few places where the table appears to study. He also creates another place with comfy seats, drinks dispenders, and shelf with boxes of a healthy snack, mostly dried fruits, nuts, and the like.

His previous little three stories house has transformed into an eight stories high little mansion (2 floors for the library). Seeing that, he shrugged before exiting it to create an outside pool while he was at it.

He raises walls all around, just in case, surrounding the 10*25*5 pool. He constructs it in a single block of marble he obtains by sending elve retrieves the thrown sc.r.a.ps of the stone from quarry all around the globe. He inscribes few runes schemes in cylindrical metal tubes littering the edge to filtrate the water, and others on the stone to keep it warm with a control console on the wall of the house.

By the time he was done with, it was lunchtime and he was quite hungry. He was surprised to see that the girls, were awake and where already in the kitchen, eating a meal made by the ecstatic elves to finally having someone to take care of.

While they were eating, Alex says to Fleur to send an owl to her Headmistress to say to her that she would stay here and will come for the task and weighting of the wand ceremony. The other girls have their things taken out of Hogwarts and wouldn"t return to the castle. He knows that he would be gone around the start of the new year, why bother to stay in the castle when he has better material here?

The following days where a pure bliss for them, with all the free time, they could spend their days with Alex, be it in the pool, in the Library or in the playroom. Thanks to having live alongside in the castle before, things went smoothly, they learn to know each other better in a more private setting.

After three days, he returns to his Acromentulas hunt with Fleur to his side, to prepare for the Tournament. Even if she knows that she wouldn"t win, she would not put a poor performance in front of her mate.

On the four days of their hunt, a welcome surprise was waiting for them. When they enter the forest, a group of twenty centaurs was waiting. After a few exchanges, they learn that they would help them clean the forest once for all after they could see that they have reduced the population of the pest by two. Even if that was only leaving the larger specimen, they mauled through the waves thanks to Alex raising his stones chambers to protect them from all sides.

With the Tournament incoming and his duty of professor, Hagrid hadn"t had time to go see them so he was unaware of the ma.s.sacre decimating the population of Aragog Children.

Even if he was aware of it he wouldn"t be able to do something with how busy he was to treats wounded owls from a flock of what was called the white hunt.

All of this came from the reaction of the wizarding community to the news of Dumbledore and the twin"s death, along with the fall of three old and n.o.ble House of the Britain caste. For the first part, the dark side couldn"t bother much and was rather celebrating, while the light side was mourning it fallen champion while ignoring the ICW news as of Dumbledore guilt in the survival of Grindelwald.

When they learn that the one responsible for his death also makes himself known as the twin of James Jr before declaring the death of House Potter and its linked heritage, it was the entire community that wanted the death of the boy. Fudge was buried under the pressure put on him because of the Tournament and thus the liberation of Alex.

It was a moment of History when all side units against a common threat but he was unreachable physically and politically. That didn"t stop them to send trapped Howlers one after others. This particular event was the start of the white hunt and the terror campaign against the British owl"s community and their owners.

After the first wave of letters being delivered at Hogwarts, Chione had to lead her children to the castle to ambush those foolish birds wanting to bring harm to her human. So the fourteen owls have wait silently, hidden in the upper rafter of the hall for the second wave to came.

They didn"t have long to wait and even before they could free themselves of their burden, the bloodbath happened. It had been a one-sided ma.s.sacre of more than thirty-eight owls from the fourteen.

While all students and guest were taking their breakfast, the owls neared the place made on the raven table for them to discharge their letter. As they were about to land, the fourteen have dive in total silence on them. For all present, it was a flash of white before blood sprout everywhere. The raid hasn"t been longer than twenty seconds but all the other owl lied down on the ground and table in a pool of blood, soon ignited by the trapped substance in the letter.

They were completely shocked at this while the frailest of them trow up at the gory scene. This continues for three straight days before wizards around Britain call for the DMLE on owls attack in their own House. In less than a week, the owl population owned by wizard has been nearly exterminated and the post owls were unwilling to take flight in what became the territory of the white hunt.

All this was possible because their numbers have grown from fourteen to sixty-three, as they also raid the Alley and zoo and free all the White Harfang on the isle. During this, Alex was completely unaware of it but have seen Luna cackle madly in her corner more than once and have been unwilling to know why.

That right, all those raids where secretly lead by Luna. Since she was unwilling to kill those poor birds, she had the elves take away the wounded ones to take care of them to keep them in the territory after.

So while the entire British wizard community was raving after him, Alex was bounding with his girls, changing their room interior decoration with the elves and processing few changes here and there.

His near four hundred square meters of the library was soon filled and hadn"t other choices to lengthen yet again its s.p.a.ce, this time using expansion runes schemes inscribed in the walls. This way, useless the house crumbles he wouldn"t need to worry for them to snap and the entire content came crashing down.

He runs the schemes throughs thousands of combinations before obtaining the stable expansion possible. The room was upgraded from it 10*22 to 20*50 and run on six more floors. With this size, it would be millions of books stored here and at the largest Library of the wizarding world.

On the 18 they receive a missive from the Headmistress of Fleur that the weighting of the wand would be on this day.
