Chapter 132 - Horcrux Ritual (I)
A/N: My exams are finally over and done with... for only that I am really happy and relieved. So, here is the chapter...
---------------------------------------------
[POV Reo(Edgar)]
"I got it!" Momo's sudden voice broke the silence in the room. I was laying in the bed while patting and caressing Rumi's head. She really liked it when I did it.
Nemuri was busy in some business meeting, making some new plans along with Narcissa. I have said this previously but Narcissa is one hell of a business woman.
"What's got you so excited?" unable to hold back my curiosity I finally asked Momo who was waiting for me to ask the question. Momo got up from her study table along with her notes and crawled into the bed.
"Well... you know that I was working on a new spell, right?" Momo asked me to which I nodded my head. Seeing me nod my head Momo decided to continue "Well... it's completed and it works perfectly!" Momo exclaimed excitedly while raising both her hands in the air.
Hearing this Rumi also got up from my lap after all Momo only got so excited when she invented something really good and impressive. Yes, I knew that she was working to make some spell or stuff but she had refused to tell me or the others what it was about and hell... I was curious.
"Fine...! I will bite! So, what is this spell you have been working on?" before I could coax Momo, Rumi decided to pitch in her thoughts. Well... that works too I guess.
"Yes... we know that there are spells to mask sounds and scents, right?" Momo asked us. Damn... she really knows how to play the game. Fine...
"Yes, we know" I said irritated. Momo looked at my face and snickered. She knew damn well... that this suspense was irritating both me and Rumi.
"Well... so if someone hides his sound and smell and uses an invisibility claok then he or she will be completely best sneaker in the whole world... at least speaking in magical terms" Momo said making her point... well I agree with her after all I have myself used this method several times during sneaking around. Yes, revealing charm works but there are some times that you have no idea if someone is actually there or not and using that spell will let the person hiding know that you will find him and uses this chance to attack.
"But there is one thing they still can't hide..." Momo paused dramatically. Both me and Rumi rolled our eyes.
"Body heat... yes you are speaking about body heat" Rumi finally said unable to hold herself back.
"Yes... well, I not only made just one spell... I actually made two spells. Look this spell... this spell can be used to nullify Homenum Revelio" Momo said and handed us some of her notes. Rumi wasn't someone who could understand the working mechanics of a spell but she could learn it.
I took the notes which Rumi happily allowed me to examine. I have to say Momo had worked really hard to make this spell... and this was huge. My invisibility cloak had only two weakness. One... someone can use accio to summon my cloak and two... someone used Homenum Revelio and I am out. Well now it solves at least one of the problem.
"Wow... this is really impressive Momo, I don't know what to say" I said and pulled Momo into a searing kiss while she happily returned.
"Well... if you are happy with just this then see the next spell" Momo said and handed me the remaining notes. I checked the notes... and I was completely speechless.
"Heat vision! You made a spell to see in heat vision!" I said excitedly. Damn... this is insane. This spell will make my work so easy while invading some place or someone's home. If I can see how many people are inside then it makes it so much easier to invade... yes, I can sense the iron in their blood which let's me know how many people are there but I can only know their position and approximate stances. But this will much better... the girls don't have powers like me so this will be really good for them.
And it can also help to look through the Fidelius. After all, Fidelius only hides the location as a secret but it doesn't hide your body heat or other heat inside the house. This is a weak point of Fidelius after all...
"You have been really working hard" I said to which Momo puffed out her chest. This made her already impressive chest look more impressive and I had to held myself back from groping her.
"Hehe... so, for my hard work I will expect a date" Momo said and laid down her head on my lap. Well... I was already planning to take them to dates. This works... Rumi just shrugged her shoulders and laid her head just beside Momo.
I laid back on the bed decided to taking a nap. But not before telling the elves to wake us up when Nemuri and Dora returns.
The elves woke us right before dinner as Dora and Nemuri returned just before dinner. Only two days have passed since we have returned from Hogwarts and Dora finally moved into Castle Ravenclaw. After completing her Auror training Ted Tonks, Dora's dad helped Dora to rent a flat but she rarely stays there so her galleons were going to complete watse to she decided to give up the flat and move in with us permanently.
She had a good friend named Hestia Jones with whom she usually had some drinks. She wasn't able to bring her the castle because Hestia Jones wasn't keyed into the wards but she could bring her to the flat under fidelius without telling her the secret. Well, fidelius protects the secret but due to lack of other wards it won't stop anyone to side-along apparate someone there. So, Dora mostly spends her time in our flat when we are back in Hogwarts.
Days kept passing just like that one week of the summer holidays was already over. During this week, I visited Sirius along with Amelia. I showed them the list of ingredients needed for the Horcrux expulsion ritual. Most of the ingredients were really hard to get... but not impossible. Amelia had some really good sources after all she was the head of DMLE and with such a high position you would know several shady people.
Sirius didn't care about the money and agreed to pay whatever needed to get the ingredients. I could have also gathered the ingredients but it would have taken a lot more time for me. After all, no matter how much money I had I didn't have contacts like Amelia. All things can't be solved by strength after all I have to know the person to scare him or whatever.
And all of the ingredients needed to be fresh so I can't collect them before or they would have gone bad and I some ingredients couldn't be stored under a statis charm. So, Amelia decided to gather all these ingredients and Sirius and Harry decided to thank her profusely. It was clear that something was going was already going on between Amelia and Sirius with led to another round of teasing.
We decided to perform the ritual right after the 31st July right after past midnight. Everything was going on completely fine until I received an emergency message from Sirius through Patronus. I didn't know what it was because I can't exactly remember every dates. If I had to bet my money then I would say that this was about the dreams.
I quickly took my aging potion and wore my amror and portkeyed into their house and found that Sirius and Harry were both waiting for me. It was really early morning as the sun wasn't up. They invited me inside and Sirius poured fire whiskey for himself. I could see that both Sirius and Harry were looking really distressed.
"So, what's up?" I asked them taking my own seat.
"It's was a dream... I know it sounds really stupid but it looked real... like I was experiencing it myself. I told Sirius and decided to inform you... honestly I am sorry to disturb you so early" Harry spoke while looking at the table. Looks like I was right again... so the dreams have started... that means Dork Lord is already getting stronger.
"Pup... even it isn't something it's better to be sure about it" Sirius said to Harry. I agree with Sirius on this matter... Harry nodded his head and started to tell me about the dream he had. It wasn't a dream in which he saw the snake or Nagini so I wasn't sure if Babymort had already made Nagini his Horcrux or not.
"That mesn Snake face is growing stronger... which means he had gained a body... there is no other way for him to get stronger" I said while nodding my head sagely.
Babymort killed Bertha Jorkins to make Nagini a Horcrux, I would save her but I didn't know when that happens and where it happens. I have tried to find Barty Crouch's house but I was unable to find it. Apparently they were also paranoid bastards and someone can only get to their house through floo and they have to be keyed to the wards. Yes, I could ignore their wards and enter the property but I needed to know where their property was. Barty Crouch Snr. was outside the country most of the time after Sirius's trial fiasco so I was unable to get my hands on him.
"Harry, the connection between you and him is growing stronger so with time you will have more clear vision so I want you to see and tell me everything you see in the next dream... if you have a next dream" I said to Harry to which he nodded his head. This Harry was much more stronger than the story one.
"Will he be having dreams even after we remige the Horcrux?" Sirius aksed me looking really worried and horrified.
"No... but there is still three weeks before the ritual can be performed so he can see something important" I said to which both Sirius and Harry nodded their heads. With that I left the house and decided to visit Little Hangletown. After all, I was already up and nothing would happen if I check that place, maybe I would be able to save a life...
