40 Tonks and pillows.

As the days of the Summer progressed, Sirius introduced Konrad to the art of good pranking. The girls were still hiding what they were working on but one day, when they visited him, they were wearing huge grins on their faces. Konrad knew that whatever they worked on, it must have finally worked or something, but the girls kept it secret. Konrad was dying from curiosity but couldn't in good conscience leave his 'Dogfather' when they were spending such a fun time together. So he tried to keep his mind occupied with training magic whenever he wasn't spending time with Sirius or the girls. His occlumency barriers finally reached such a level that Konrad didn't know if there was even any sense adding anything to them. He created a freaking galactic! His memories were stored on a small computer somewhere on one of the multiple Death Stars. His mindscape was littered with spaceships and multiple star systems that Konrad created just for a distraction and spend a lot of fun in recreating different worlds like fallout, Eragon, LOTR, etc. on each planet. Konrad wasn't sure if there was even a chance for someone to force their way through (not like they could with how much magic power he had) because of the way his mindscape was created.

In the Konrad came to a conclusion that someone would have to conquer the entire galactic of his mind if he even wanted to start looking for the memories, so it was basically impossible to reach his memories without his consent. That's why he lately stopped working on his occlumency. There was no reason other than boredom to add anything more to it.

But Konrad was bored, so a few more star systems joined his mindscape in the few weeks he spend with Sirius. Of course it was not like he wasted this time. He could use the mindscape as a way to train his multitasking. He learned how to be aware of both his mindscape and the outside world by training both occlumency and spell casting at the same time without using any incantation nor wand but just pure intent to do so. If someone looked from the side he would probably compare Konrad to some character from a xianxia novel, cultivating, and he wouldn't be so far from the true. Konrad's training of expending, controlling and recovering his magic wasn't so much different from this cultivators who absorbed energies of the world.

Because Konrad had no projects to work on and spend a few weeks on only increasing his magic power, his inner magic increased tremendously surpassing Dumbledore around thirty times now. Konrad could sense the magic around him better and force it to do as he wanted. Konrad was slowly more and more often ignoring any incantation. He just willed and a spell appeared. If he focused enough he could transfigure, transmutate, summon and conjure objects just like this. He was still limited by the rules of transmutation and conjuration since removing magic from the affected objects reversed them to the original form but that's where alchemy and the philosophers stone comes in. He was curious if he might one day manage a real alchemical transmutation without a formation and the philosophers stone but for now better control of his magic was a top priority.

Konrad also worked on his fake-metamorphagus ability. It was a skill that he didn't hide from Sirius after realizing how good for pranks it could be. Sirius was amazed that Konrad was a metamorphagus and after a sudden realization contacted his cousins Tonks and her mother whom he recognized as the members of the black family. The two Tonkss were simply thrilled with the information and visited them for the few last days that Konrad stayed at Grimuald place, where Konrad and Nymphadora got to know each other. She was pretty cool and gave Konrad a few tips about transformation. She was actually quiet helpful to Konrad even though he wasn't actually a metamorphagus and only forced the change with his intent magic. The info she provided helped him focus on a few most important aspects of the transformation and soon Konrad surpassed even a real Metamorphagus by changing into an exact copy of Dumbledore saying "It's for the greater good". After Konrad copied even the twinkle in his eyes, both Sirius and Tonks rolled on the ground laughing.

In the end even though Konrad couldn't continue his researches he considered the time he spend with Sirius, a very good experience.

While Konrad enjoyed his time at Grimuald place, in the other part on England, two teenage girls stood in front of a magically suspended hologram of a project they started after their beloved boyfriend showed them the magical battery. They were none other than Luna and Hermione. The Hologram was an idea they had come up with a few months ago. It was an update of the previously used blackboards and notes. The trio could project their idea on the hologram and will the calculations and notes to appear in the air.

Luna and Hermione Came back from a visit at Sirius's place just an hour ago and not long after, they came to continue their research in the Lab under the new Potter manor. The two of them couldn't contain their grins for the entire visit. They completed their calculations only yesterday and were so eager to show the outcome to Konrad, that he most likely realized something happened. But as much they wanted to tell him, it was supposed to be a surprise so they endured barely and now they are here, getting ready to test their theory.

"Do you think everything is in working order?" Asked Luna.

"Yes I checked the arithmancy seventeen times and everything tells me it should work without a problem." Replied Hermione. "And you?" She asked.

"I checked the new rune clusters and improved and corrected everything that Konrad messed up in the battery. There should be nothing wrong in that regard as well." Luna replied.

"And the safety measures?" Hermione asked.

"It was created with the safety in mind from the very beginning Mione. The generation rings are supposed to slow down when the capacity approaches critical mass and the entire object is filled with multiple reinforcement formations. EVEN if an explosion does happen, there would be a bunch of emergency magic batteries around it to catch the magic energy before it damages anything or anyone. Really Mione, there's no need to worry so much. I believe in you." Said Luna with a smile.

Hermione blushed at Luna's words and said.

"Alright then. But let's make a downsized version first. I don't think we should play with the big one before Konrad arrives." Said Hermione.

"Alright, but It's good we managed to connect the battery with magic formations or we wouldn't be able to make even the smaller one, right?" Said Luna with a grin.

"Oh yeah haha, Konrad looked so happy when I gave him the idea! I hope he kisses me like that more often..." Hermione said with a dreamy expression.

"Alright! Stop daydreaming and get to work Mione." Luna said with a smirk and spawned her on the rear.

"Hey! You little minx! So that's how you want to play?!" Said hermione. A bunch of pillows arrived around them as she used a silent summoning charm. She grabbed one of them with a grin and attacked.

"Take this!"

"Hahaha noooo I'm to young to die!" Luna got hit with a pillow right on the face. Hermione was worried seeing Luna's stony expression but it soon changed into a grin.

"Alright it's ON!" She said and with a wave of her hand a pillow got summoned from another part of the room. It was a human sized pillow with an image of Konrad in only his boxers. She was about to attack hermione when both the girls spoted the imprint on the pillow. Both of them turned red and Hermione asked.

"Is that..."

§"NOOOO leave my Daddymakura alone!!!"§ a black snake with a crystal on her forehead suddenly jumped from out of nowhere and wrapped around the pillow only to disappear with it with a small crack a second later.

The girls looked at each other shocked for a few second and finally one of them said.

"Let's...not talk about it ever again..."

"Agreed..."

"...let's...go back to work..."

"...yeah."

The two girls came back to work on their project but there was a lingering thought in both of their minds. 'I also want a pillow like this!'
