HP: I Have "Pure" Magic

Chapter 157: The black flames, the envelope and 'They'

So, after Chris had gotten a quick peck on the lips from Dora, it was decided that the red one would be Cythia or Cindy, and the Blue one would be Selena or Sally.

After the two babies had fallen asleep, Chris decided to get to serious work once again, but Nyxie, who had still not fallen asleep, followed him to the basement.

"Hmm? What's up with you?" He asked as he patted her head.

"Mewww," she said after settling on his shoulder.

"So, you're finally growing up, huh?" Chris smiled. Nyxie was asking for training.

Before, Nyxie used to be too temperamental and sometimes even used to attack people in her anger. Thus, Chris hadn't taught her much of attack magics and her attention span was too small and she had always seemed unwilling to learn. Thus, Chris being the doting father, had decided to let her enjoy her childhood. He just taught her basic stuff and had also asked her not to try and copy every random magic, since magics like space magic could be dangerous, so she shouldn't try it without his supervision.

Chris thought that it was a waste for her to not train. After all, she was very talented. This had already gotten apparent when she had copied the disillusionment charm without much difficulty. Her sensitivity for magic was a lot more than even Chris's, maybe due to her innate drakonic advantages and her high exposure to pure magic since birth.

Looking at the determined Nyxie, Chris nodded,

"It seems you're ready now," Nyxie has matured a lot very quickly. She was just a baby like Sally and Cindy just two years ago. Chris sighed like an old man who's been through many vicissitudes of life, , "Kids sure grow up fast," he said as he rubbed her head.

Nyxie became annoyed once again for being treated like a child, but she still didn't seem unhappy.

'I'm an adult now!' Her thoughts seemed to say.

Dragons really do mature faster. The normal ones are considered adults in just two years.

"Let's start. Try this," Chris started with the most useful thing that isn't dangerous: Corpomency.

It's something that's still in the development stage and with a lot of potential. Initially, it was meant to make an invisible armor for his body to shield him from all kinds of attacks. But, even though he hasn't been able to make it invisible, it has still become much more versatile since it gives the option of shape manipulation as well.

As Chris raised his hand, the magic began pouring out of it and began to form into a dazzling and intricate multicolored armor which covered Nyxie's body. And Nyxie's big eyes were full of surprise when she felt it.

"Try learning this for now. After this one, I'll teach you some attack magic," said Chris as his mind started to fill up with various ideas.

$"Attack magic?!"$ She exclaimed. She was now fully motivated.

But for now, he left Nyxie to practice it while he moved on to do his own things. His work seems to have increased by lot. He has to learn Swordsmanship, make the sword, try out his new powers of the bond, find out about anti-magic, and a lot more. He simply doesn't have the time for all of this.

"I need time..." he murmured. Fortunately, that should be taken care of this year. He had talked with Flitwick, and with his academic performance, it wouldn't be a problem. He's very curious about time magic.

He got to work and started working on his sword first. The research on Crysanium, the most magical metal of the word seemed to be going well. The previous pure magic was already absorbed into the molten alloys. And now the differences were starting to show as some were already saturated while some still had the ability to absorb and grow even further.

All of these were small samples, formed by the combination of the most precious metals of the world. But the cost of even these small samples was something that would make someone vomit blood. It truly showed off the extravagance of a young master.

But, it's not like he's ever going to sell these. He values these metals more than he values money. And all these small samples can be used in a lot of his projects as well.

"Hmm... it's time I made another country your and help the filthy rich muggles of France lessen their 'burdens'..." he murmured. His supplies of precious materials were running low and he won't get caught as long as he uses a wand without a trace.

Even if the wizard is adult, the ministry can find out at least the location and nature of the spell used even though not their identity

Thus, if excess magic is used in the muggle world, the ministry would quickly send someone to investigate. He had atleast guessed this to some extent, thus, he never used any dangerous spells or questionable spells with any of the wands that he hasn't made by himself. He's mostly been wandless since that helps in training as well.

Now he's understood some of the mechanism of how it all works. All legal wands sold at shops have traces, and those who are found with wands without traces are heavily penalized. But of course, there are ways to remove the trace completely as and it's also possible to acquire a traceless wand (corrupt ministry).

"Hmm?"

While Chris was making his plans, suddenly he saw a bright light from the corner of his eye.

"...."

Nyxie was flying around happily with a layer of Corpomency barrier swirling around her.

"Mewww!"

"Well, she learns fast," Chris muttered.

She flew over and landed in front of him, $"Attack magic?"$ She asked expectantly.

"Alright," Chris sighed, "But first tell me what you can already do,"

"Myu?" Nyxie blinked innocently at him.

"uh-uh, don't play innocent now. You ARE a dragon. You can breathe fire, and I've seen it,"

"Here," Chris raised his hand and a piece of metal flew right into his grip.

"You have to fire your breath at this," he said as he floated in the air. "I won't teach you anything unless you melt this down,"

Nyxie looked down nervously, "Mewm..." she murmured. It seems that Nyxie was afraid that Chris would see her differently if she showed him this.

Chris, who could understand it all through the bond, began to laugh.

"Don't worry my daughter. Daddy has always been, and will always be, an even fearsome monster than you."

"Mau..." Nyxie reluctantly filled her lungs with air, and when she opened her mouth, something surprising happened.

A jet of black flames came out of her mouth which shines with flecks of multicolored lights and reached the piece of metal. And despite the distance, and his extreme resistance, Chris could still feel the heat.

And when the flames dispersed,

"... Fork," he cursed censoredly.

The piece of metal had disappeared.

Well, ignoring the obvious horror, this attack had a lot to improve and the destruction, range, penetration power, speed, etc could still be improved.

The question was...

'Should I teach her?'

***

For the incoming days, Chris and Dora followed the same parenting as Nyxie for Sally and Cindy. Chris never showed Nyxie to anyone in her magic glowing form. So, he did the same with the twins. It's a useless piece of information which abnormally complicated. It's something that can be shown whenever everyone including Esme has top-class occlumency.

Invisibility was Horned Serpent's innate ability. Thus, both of them were either invisible or in the room for the first few days until they got the hang of hiding the rainbow glow, in which, their big sis Nyxie helped them out a lot. And also to hide the horns, they had to learn the Metamorphagus abilities.

The twins were talented, so they were able to learn it all soon were able to hide the horns and glow.

After that, even though they were abnormally cute, no one could tell that they were even magical creatures. They had big intelligent eyes, and they could make very human expressions which made the onlooker melt at their cuteness.

Now the only problem that may arise was if some young master or young mistress took a liking to them and overbearingly tried to buy them off.

Chris and Dora would have to politely decline and since first, family is not for sale. Second, even if they want to buy snakes like these from someone who's willing to sell them, the price would be so huge that even if they sold all of their ancestral belongs including their underwear, and were left penniless, it wouldn't be able to make a dent in the price, let alone buy it.

Selena was quiet and friendly but Cynthia was aggressive and emotional. Chris was guessing both of them were quite Poisonous since their biological father was a Runespoor and even Horned Serpent might be poisonous. Thus, he trained them to not bite any family member and also prepared antidotes as well.

So, after they were ready, the twin snakes were introduced to everyone including the Delacours. And as expected, everyone's heart was captured by the two baby girls. Especially Esme and Gabrielle.

While Esme and Gabrielle were cooing and petting Cindy and Selena, Chris looked at Fleur who was just sitting quietly.

"Hey," he said, making her startled, "You're not interested in making those snakes?"

Fleur looked at the snakes who were sitting on Dora's shoulder, then at Dora sitting next to Chris like a couple. She wasn't feeling too interested in the snakes currently,

"No," she just shook her head, and her straight silver hair hide half of her face.

Chris furrowed her brows. Something's up. "You're not yourself since the start of the Holidays," he observed, making her look down at her plate, "Did something happen at the school?"

He thought about that Louise girl. Even if it was absurd after all the warning and precautions Chris had made Fleur take, that girl might have still been able to pull something off.

He recalled the photos which were owled to him at Hogwarts just after a few days he had reached Hogwarts after Christmas. He had completely forgotten about them.

"Accio," he said as he put his hand in his wand in his pocket and summoned an envelope. And Fleur looked over to see what he was doing,

"Here," he said as gave her the envelope, "Take this as my early birthday present to you,"

Fleur noticed that the letter was addressed to Chris and it was sealed shut, meaning hadn't even opened it yet.

"What's this?" Fleur asked, even though her hands were already unconsciously ripping the envelope open. Chris's gifts had never been simple. Thus, her curiosity got the better of her.

'Wha?!'

*Ting* *thud*

But as soon as she looked inside, she flinched, and toppled her goblet, spilling the juice.

"Jilly,"

*Whoosh*

Everything got cleared and the juice disappeared instantly. The funny thing was, Jilly wasn't even in the room currently. An OP elf indeed.

But Fleur wasn't paying attention to all that. She was just looking at the contents of the letter.

They were photos of Louise. Louise that hateful scheming vicious bitch.

Fleur recalled what happened at school after the selection tournament. The minister had mobilized the security and not a single photographer, or a person with a camera was allowed to take away any single photo of Louise's match.

Louise herself disappeared for a month straight. And her followers would get a letter daily at the breakfast. All of her followers would then report Louise's poor situation and gather pity for the 'fallen goddess'.

Fleur could bet all her money that the bitch was probably alright within a week with the best medical healers of France mobilized. But the bitch didn't come until the matter blew over and everyone mostly forgot that pathetic image of her.

When she did come back, even though her following had decreased a lot and some were still laughing, most of the people only had sympathy and pity for her. After all, who would take pleasure in the brutalization of such a kind and friendly goddess?

Fleur had thought none of it... until the girl herself confronted her. She had wanted to talk in privacy, so Fleur, after remembering Chris's warnings, had agreed to talk to her in the great Hall during lunch with privacy charms, notice-me-not, and clear to blurr everything.

And soon as the Charms were installed, Louise's face took a 180 transition and became an annoyed and haughty look.

"How did you do it?!" She asked.

Fleur was puzzled, "What are you talking about?"

Louise scoffed, "You don't need to keep up the presence anymore. I know that you know,"

"...What are you talking about," Fleur repeated her question. Her occlumency was on, showing no fluctuations on her aloof face. She was fishing for more information.

And Louise didn't disappoint her when she clicked her tongue,

"I've seen how you've been looking at me with a guarded expression as if I'll attack you at any moment, and you're also being overly cautious when eating your meals, you are always surrounded by your followers, never being alone as if you might be attacked. Do you need me to point out more? So, you clearly know it was me who did it that day,"

(???) Fleur was still completely clueless. She was doing all this because Chris had ordered her to. And he had also warned her that Louise will definitely try to pull something. That's why she had been cautious and guarded against her. But her expression still showed no fluctuations.

Louise continued, "You were infected with Veela de leflau. How did you realize it so quickly? And how were you able to duel when you should have been unable to do so for at least 30 minutes even after taking the best one?"

??!!

Veela de leflau?!

It was a poison that wasn't lethal at all, instead, it only inflicts Veela with a sickness that sometimes happens to Veela. If it's in small quantity, it would pass off just like that natural sickness and no one would suspect it was due to the poison.

Its translation is Veela's Bane.

It's similar to how werewolves have wolfsbane and Vampires have Bat-thorn. Clearly, the creator put veelas in the same category as these creatures.

And Louise was saying with certainty that she was infected by it. It can only mean that this bitch tried to poison her and even succeeded to some extent. Then, how come Fleur never realized it?

'Wait a moment!'

She only recalled feeling dizziness and a mild headache. And she was feeling slightly feverish. She thought that it was nothing and her magic will take care of it. And was going to go to the duel.

'And then Chris...'

Chris had given her something her, and it certainly wasn't a pepperup Potion as he had claimed. After drinking that miraculous thing, other than those groundbreaking occlumency and allure effects, Fleur also realized that she no longer felt dizzy. She was so energized that she thought that she might even defeat Chris at that moment.

Fleur had realized everything, and had etched that matter deep into her heart. Chris clearly didn't want anyone to know about the Potion, and it was for good reason. He'll definitely get into trouble for it if the word got out. Thus, she has kept this to herself, and it has definitely contributed to the hopeless crush she has on him.

She recalled what Louise had said after that, "What did you think? You'll get rid of me after humiliating me in front of everyone through your boyfriend? See the situation now? Barely anyone now remembers the scene! All the photos were deleted! And the photos of me lying beautifully in the hospital were released. You just wait for me Fleur Delacour. I'll climb back up even higher and get back at you one day for this humiliation," with that, Louise turned into the goddess persona again and left her after sitting alone, with hundreds of thoughts plaguing her.

And now she's seeing that Louise's photos in various angles, all moving.

There she was, lying down pathetically on the ground with her but sticking out comically, tears and snot on her face, her mouth leaking saliva, and the close-up of her butt, with even her underwear torn to shreds. Did anyone notice that Louise was wearing a thong? Most likely not. It was covered rather quickly by the headteacher. Most likely, no one even noticed that big and ugly mole on her right butt cheek due to the debris and blood.

But now... everyone would.

****

Camille was worried. Chris's blood had somehow become more special overnight. And not only him, but his girlfriend Dora's blood had also become special.

Oh, Camille knew she was his girlfriend. She could tell easily since their scent was all over each other and they also spend the nights in the same room, even though Chris tries to hide by properly putting on disillusionment before entering and exiting her room.

Her son is using his amazing talents for naughty things, but he doesn't know his mother detect him by his scent easily, except for the very first time, when he even hid his smell and sound, probably in precaution if the house had some pet with high senses. But he removed them after he removed the Invisibility cloak and Camille instantly knew it was him, and he has a lot of talent.

Camille wasn't worried about Dora, since she was human and thus protected by the Pact. 'But Chris...'

Chris was one of them. And if he has such enticing blood, 'they' are going to come for him.

*Click*

Camille's fists clenched involuntarily as her nails and canines grew longer and sharper. She had already lost her parents. She wasn't going to have her son taken as well.
