22 Ice cream

Agustus sighed as he walked out of the Headmaster's office, thinking about the whole ordeal.

'Well, that should put him in his place. He won't try to manipulate and play with me again,' Agustus thought about the senile Dumbledore.

Agustus had no classes today, so he decided to go back to his room in the Slytherin chambers. He had something important to do.

As he reached his room, he took out a parchment and a quill and wrote an application for Snape, requesting permission to visit Diagon Alley. He had received a letter from Gringotts, informing him that someone had stolen some Ancient tomes from Peverell family house vault, those tomes were priceless, Agustus was really distressed by this. Agustus wrote letters to goblin chief about the vault and in return they gave him 1000000 galleons in compensation and generous shares of companies in muggle world. Goblins have not revealed about the situation to the people as it would tarnish goblins reputation, the vault of lost Houses were attacked, general people doesn't know about the incident.

With that much money, Agustus could buy a lot of Britain's Ancient Nobel families, if he wanted to.

Agustus then left his room and headed to Professor Snape's office. He knocked on the door and heard a voice from inside.

"Enter," Snape said.

Agustus opened the door and walked inside, seeing Snape reading some students' essays. He looked up and sneered. "I didn't expect the great Peverell to grace us with his presence. How can I help you?" His tone was dripping with sarcasm.

Agustus was already in a bad mood, and this only made it worse. He walked up to his table and slammed the application on it. He ordered, "Sign this and don't speak."

Snape felt a surge of anger towards Agustus, who had just ordered him to sign his application and keep quiet. He wanted to punish him for his insolence, but then he felt something in the air, something that he had only felt when Voldemort was torturing his Death Eaters. It was a cold, dark, and powerful presence, and it made Snape shiver. His battle instincts, honed by years of combat, were screaming at him that something was very wrong with Agustus.

Snape quickly took the application from Agustus's hand and signed it without a second glance. He didn't want to provoke him any further, or risk finding out what he was hiding. He handed it back to him and watched him leave his office, closing the door behind him.

All Agustus wanted right now was some good ice cream. He loved ice cream, especially chocolate flavor. It was one of the few things that made him happy in this world. And after beating the shit out of dumbledore Agustus deserved his rest.

He walked back to his room in the Slytherin chambers and put the application in his table drawer. He would use it later. He had a lot of plans for his future, and he needed some resources to execute them.

Agustus then apparated to the Drakul Manor, his ancestral home. It was a large and luxurious mansion, hidden from the eyes of the world by powerful wards. It was also the place where he trained his body and sword combat, under the guidance of his loyal servant, Alfred.

Agustus walked out of his room and found Alfred in the garden.

Alfred saw Agustus and greeted him joyfully. He had missed their spars, which were always challenging and fun.

"Good morning, Master Agustus," Alfred said, bowing respectfully.

Agustus smiled a little, looking at Alfred. He was one of the few people he trusted and cared about, Alfred would rather die than hurt Agustus, as Agustus was Heir Drakul, future lord of the Ancient Nobel House Drakul.

"Alfred, could you bring me some nice chocolate ice cream, please?" Agustus asked politely.

Alfred nodded and bowed again. "Yes, Master."

Alfred moved with superhuman speed to get Agustus his ice cream. He knew how much his master loved it, and he wanted to please him.

Agustus just laid down on the grass, waiting for him. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the warmth of the sun on his face. He felt peaceful and relaxed, for the moment.

Agustus felt really good and smiled. He enjoyed the sunlight on his skin, while Alfred was busy working on the garden. Alfred was not only a loyal servant, but also a skilled gardener. He had made the Drakul Manor's grounds into a beautiful and serene place, full of flowers, trees, and fountains.

After a good half hour of rest, Agustus stood up and said to Alfred, "Alfred, I need you to bring me 100,000 galleons from the Fleamont family vault and another 100,000 galleons from the Peverell vault."

Alfred nodded and said, "As you wish, Master." He then apparated to Gringotts, the wizarding bank, and returned shortly with two pouches full of gold coins.

"Put this money in the treasury." Said Agustus to Alfred.

The Drakul House's treasury was a special place, hidden under the manor. It was protected by powerful wards that only Agustus could control. He had been registered as the ward master when he inherited the manor through his Heir ring. The treasury contained not only money, but also various artifacts, books, and weapons that belonged to the Peverell , Drakul families and goblins.

Agustus then apparated back to his room at Hogwarts. He was feeling tired after Dumbledore's beat down and dealing with Snape. He decided to take a few hours of nap, before going out of his room.

He lay down on his bed and closed his eyes.

After taking a nap, he woke up feeling refreshed and energized. He got up and stepped outside of his room.

After spending the rest of the day with Dora in the Room of Requirement, Agustus headed to the Great Hall for dinner. He sat at the Hufflepuff table, with Dora on his left and Cedric across from him. The twins joined them on Cedric's left, and they chatted about their classes, Quidditch, and the latest gossip. Dumbledore was absent from his usual seat at the head table, It will take time for him to recover physically.

Suddenly, Professor McGonagall stood up and clapped her hands to silence the students. "Attention, please. I have an important announcement to make," she said in her stern voice. "On the 14th of February, the Minister of Magic and the Hogwarts faculty have planned a special event: The Valentine's Day Ball. The Minister herself, Millicent Bagnold, will be in attendance. Students are required to bring a date to enter the ball. Dress robes are mandatory. More details will be given later. Thank you."

As soon as Professor McGonagall finished speaking, the hall erupted in cheers and whispers. Agustus felt Dora squeeze his hand under the table, and he smiled at her.
