8 Ep. 8

Time quickly passed in Hogwarts. The second day of classes was a little more interesting since Sprout was obviously trying to find faults with me but couldn't: I am perfect, the epitome of everything magical. I hijacked Hogwarts' leyline the third day of classes, during Astronomy class. Professor Sinistra would have made any Muggle astronomer cringe and shake their heads, which happened to me pretty often. The wizards' view on astronomy is very… Particular. I zoned out and just completed her exercises without even needing a telescope, and they were perfect. I skipped history classes and just got told the assignments from Natalie. That ghost, Binns, I might just exorcise him or throw him into my Spirit Converter.

By Christmas, I had asserted dominance in class and was confronted by some seventh year snakes.

"Hey, you! Vampire!" shouted a guy in the halls.

I turned around with a smile. "Who? Little old me?"

"Who else?! Don't get cocky, you filthy dark creature! You are nothing but a monster!"

"Hoh? A monster? Are you sure that it's wise to call me that?"

"And what are you going to do?! You're a first year and nothing more! Get him!" He ordered his lackeys. I used my cane to swat them out of the way. I cracked a few of their bones and surely caused a couple of ribs to break.

"Right, I'm a first year with enough power to destroy this castle in a single spell. Actually, you might be right in calling me a monster…" I placed the leader in a Genjutsu where I continuously cut him up and drank his blood in front of him, along with killing his family repeatedly. Calling me a monster is the same as calling Mother a monster. That's not a nice thing.

I broke all of their kneecaps and cursed them to have pimples for the rest of their time at Hogwarts. I returned to my room and checked my interface grimoire.

Hm… Yes, my new and improved shake was perfect for my needs. My Magic Core is in perfect condition and a satisfactory level. I should have more magic than Dumbles and snake-face put together, which is good. Continuing my study of both Merlin's and Hecate's magic was much easier with my increased aptitude. I also made some random Swordsmanship manuals, so that's progressing quite well. However, I want a sword style like Scathach's… Pendragon? Maybe, I'll look into it.

All of my Abilities improved and I gained some new characteristics. Now, my jaws and fangs are basically indestructible, in this world at least, I gained some new Animagus forms thanks to my magical creature nature, more regeneration as I wanted, battle instincts which is a good addition to my collection, a Low Zenkai Boost, which is almost useless but better than nothing, and Basilisk's Blood, which gives me immunity to poisons and most potions that are not as potent as Basilisk blood and turned my blood into a very potent poison. Just a drop in a well and I could potentially kill an entire village. This is fun…

Ah, in these months, me, Camille, Silvia, Natalie, and Christian have been studying together aka I tutored them. Katrina, that girl who switched with Silvia the first day, also joins us every once in a while. She's actually a pure-blood, so she's been teaching the girls and Christian the basics of the wizarding community. I am not too good on that. More of a free spirit, if you catch my drift.

Talking about drifts! For Christmas, Mother will buy some 'classic' cars and motorcycles that I know will become collection material. I've always loved the classics, so I'm happy as hell! When I get to an appropriate age to drive, I'll take them all for a spin! Hoo, I can't wait!

'I'll make sure to get her some nice Basilisk hide accessories when the Chamber of Secrets is opened. How many years will it take again? Four? Sounds about right… What a drag, why can't time go faster?!'

During Christmas, I brought Mother to New York for the New Year, just to do something different rather than just staying at home next to the fireplace. It was a nice change of pace and Mother had never seen this kind of preparation for a single day. For her, New Year's is just another day of the year… Well, it is, but it's tradition to fire off some fireworks. To scare the Muggles, I set a few magical fireworks. They exploded and created the image of a bat and a dragon, releasing some screeches. Those idiots thought that it was some kind of new firework, while I was laughing my ass off at their idiocy. I also took a few photos to send to my friends with an owl.

I spent the rest of my vacation trying to strike a deal with the Goblins to let me into Merlin's vault with the excuse that I had his grimoire so I was his successor. Unfortunately, they wouldn't relent. What a bummer. Ah, I ended up taking an inheritance test, but I wasn't entitled to anything… 'Curse them! I will surely get everything from those vaults!' While I do not need any material thing thanks to Subjective Reality, actually obtaining stuff has a different feel. Kinda like using cheats to get an item in a game and actually grinding to get it. It's about personal satisfaction.

Well, since I ended up not gaining anything, I decided to treat myself to a swordsmanship manual: Tsukahara Bokuden Sword and Spear Arts Manual. Hell yeah! So, from what I remember, the guy was the founder of the Kashima Shinto-ryu school of martial arts. This manual has more techniques for the spear and many techniques for the sword. There's even iaijutsu, which is useful to me with my cane-sword's fourth dial. 'Huh, now that I think about it, the words 'cane-sword's fourth dial' almost sound like an ultimate move. Like 'Fourth Dial: Ejection' or something like that… That was chuuni of me, very cringe.'

In the end, I started my second semester at Hogwarts. I didn't even get the time to unpack my stuff that I was called in by Dumblefuck. 'The goat-fucker wants to meet me? What gives? I surely didn't do- ah, must be because of the idiots I beat before Christmas.'

Snape scowled all the way until the gargoyle that leads to Dumble's office. He was about to say the password when I casted a spell and tricked the security measures to open the door.

I winked at the greasy man and went to the office. I didn't even bother knocking since I really don't have an ounce of respect for the guy. I found him unwrapping a lemon drop at his desk.

"Hello there. Why was I called in?"

"Oh, Azagareth, my boy… Sit down first. Lemon drop?"

"No, thank you. I prefer those blood lollipops from Honeydukes." It's true, those things are quite good. I sat down and stared at the man. He apparently learnt his lesson and didn't try Legilimency on me.

"So, it has come to my attention that you are quite exceptional."

"I see no need to be humble. Indeed I am exceptional, that happens when you get to study magic since you were three."

"Indeed. The Professors have also agreed that you are a very good student and quite friendly, no matter what house the students are in. Your attitude should be an example for your fellow Slytherins." Goddamnit, old man! Just cut to the chase!

"Yes, they are quite narrow-minded, but can still be redeemed. You still haven't answered my question: why am I here?"

"Well, a few days before the Christmas vacations, some students have been found unconscious in the hallways. They were beaten quite fiercely and had several broken bones. They woke up only after a few days and the vacations had already begun."

"Oh my! Poor students! Who might have ever done such a thing?!" I said with atrocious acting

"The interesting thing is that all of the victims said that you were the aggressor and there is one student in particular that has developed a trauma. He was forced to move to Durmstrang to continue his studies."

"Me? A first year? Sounds unbelievable, no?"

"Azagareth, my boy, we both know that you are perfectly capable of beating them, so tell me why you did that."

"Hm… Fine, I'll tell you. They pissed me off. More like, they cornered me and called me a monster, then attacked me. I simply retaliated, but they were weak. I certainly hope that they were just mediocre students, otherwise I would be quite disappointed with Hogwarts' education."

"I see. They were indeed normal students, certainly not mediocre, but not the best. Do you mind giving me the memory of this incident?" Hm… Should I?

"... Sure." I placed my finger on my temple and extracted the memory. It felt weird, but nothing too extreme. "Well, if there's nothing else, I will go and unpack my stuff. Tomorrow we have lessons, after all."

"Yes, you may go. If there's something I need to ask you, I will have Professor Snape call you in."

There's one thing I noticed about the old man: he is reluctant to say my family name. Further research is needed. He might be hiding something interesting. Once I returned to the Common Room, I searched everywhere for the fuckers I beat before the Winter break. I found them in a corner studying for their NEWTs.

"Oi. Did you four think I would let you off easily?" I said in an eerie voice. The four snakes shivered and stiffly turned to face me. "It's time for punishment. Pray to whatever God you believe in that you don't become a vegetable." I said and placed them all in a Genjutsu where they were violated repeatedly by Magical Girl Mil-tan and were forced to watch as I killed their families and drank their blood. I will leave them for a few minutes like that. Another four PTSD subjects created!

Ah, I love being evil… I returned to my room and unpacked my stuff. I ignored the wails I could hear despite the several enchantments I applied to my door. There's another one who already transferred to Durmstrang, huh? Good, I will find him once I graduate from here. What Bellatrix 'Crazy Bitch' Lestrange did to the Longbottom couple will seem like a walk in the park after I'm done with him.

A few days after that, the four snakes transferred as well, but I wasn't called in to the Headmaster's office. Good, they didn't snitch on me, otherwise I would have to hunt them down. My daily life was quite repetitive since I didn't have much to do: wake up, daily exercise, wash up, breakfast, classes, lunch, classes, study with friends or magic practice in the ROR, relaxing with Mother, dinner with Mother, sleep, repeat.

I reached a plateau with my God-slaying Spear Arts after I reached the Advanced level, but my swordsmanship training is going swimmingly. I might actually modify my cane-sword to make it become a cane-katana, but I'm not too sure about that. My sword arts manual also has techniques for the spear, so I hope that learning those will help me have a breakthrough or something. Ugh, I sound like a shitty xianxia protag when I say 'breakthrough', but I kinda understand what that means now.

Nothing else of particular interest happened during my first year at Hogwarts. I had the snakes completely under control with fear, so they stopped picking on the other houses. I won't bother with fixing their mentality since I couldn't care less. I will just kill them once I graduate if they are a problem. I might as well run for the Minister of Magic position and steal all of the Nobles' fortunes. Food for thought… Ah, I finished my exams with all O+'s, even in Potions. I made it impossible for the greasy fuck to give me any less, or he should have failed the rest of the firsties. Heh, revenge for nothing at all!

I am currently on the Hogwarts Express in an expanded compartment with my usual group of friends.

"What are you guys doing this Summer?" asked Christian

"Well, I think that my family has a vacation in Spain planned. But, knowing them, I think that my parents will be cooped up in a library or some convention all the time." said Camille

"My parents organized a trip to Italy! I'm so excited!" said Silvia. I'm happy for the little pizza slice.

"I think I'll just stay in England and maybe tour around with my parents. I want to start studying next year's curriculum and review the things we studied this year." said Natalie. Typical Ravenclaw.

"I'll visit some relatives in France. Other that, I don't know." said Katrina

"Cool. I will probably visit some friends in London for a while, then I don't know." said Christian.

"I think I'll just laze around all Summer. I'm a little burned out." I said. Totally a lie. This Summer, I have an exploration of the most beautiful uninhabited islands planned out. I might just claim one for myself. I might also tap into nearby leylines to make the island a magical hotspot, but who knows.
