Chapter 19

The ministry Yule ball went incredibly well, I escorted Iris as her plus one you'd say. Her own blend of innocence and extreme intelligence actually helped her very much in the ball. She literally charmed the hell out of the light sect, managed to impress the neutral sect with her adherence to their vaunted traditions, and I was there to intimidate the dark sect into behaving if they ever thought of getting rowdy. A Selwyn actually tried that when I asked him quite innocently mind you, "why are you, young master Selwyn bothering the Heiress Potter, Heiress Apparent Black when she was being escorted by the Lord Apparent Malfoy who would be honour bound to defend her?" His intimidated stutter was incredibly funny to watch.

We had been taken under the metaphorical wing of Sirius Black, he told us lots of stories about the Marauders Hogwarts day's. At one point when he told us of the time they had hexed Severus from Canon the whole trouser, mud blood incident. Iris decided that Sirius owed Severus a apology and dragged him to Severus's room at Hogwarts via floo to apologise. That went swimmingly, Severus actually seemed entertained at the waif of the girl dragging the esteemed Heir Black into the Floo to apologize. I wouldn't lie and say they were all buddy buddy now but at least they wouldn't try and kill each other on a semi regular basis.

Iris and I had become fast friends. I thought her everything I learned during the first Thirteen years of my first life which in all honesty wasn't much, I was an average student,but I did pay a higher then average interest in Physics and Chemistry. When we started on wanded subjects I planned on merging what I knew of physics and chemistry together to use normal spells and the like to greater effect. I already had a concept for a localised explosion spell that would be of great use. I called it the water bomb. The concept went like this create a spell chain to first conjure water, then split the water into hydrogen and oxygen, then light it on fire. And await boom.

I mean imagine it, in the game of thrones universe, an army of Ice wights one hundred thousand strong, I use this spell and bye bye wight army.sure it'll knock me out for a couple days, but with access to Starfalls let lines I could pull something like that off once every few years or so. It'd be a hilarious anti army magic spell. I had decided that by the time I would leave the Harry potter universe I would design and create at least seven spells following the Fate/stay verse noble phantasm ranking, at least Two each of the Anti Army, Anti Fortress varietals. A couple of Anti Unit spells like Avada kedavra which cannot be defended against without incredible preparations before hand.

For some reason my long term plans and acquisition list in the Harry potter Universe kept Increasing in length. Speaking of Sirius we were promised that once I and Iris completed our third year he would help us with our Animagus transformations. Which was awesome. I also planned on asking Severus to help teach us spell creation once we started at Hogwarts. Because let's face it he created a lethal curse in sixth year that requires a specific counter curse. Snape was an asset I plan on milking for all it's worth. Him and the ROR in Hogwarts and maybe the Pureblood library liberation plan I came up with Via house elf.

It had been over a year and a half since I awoke in this world's and only one-third of the canon storyline remained. Mother had indeed found a ritual to destroy all horcruxes using a single one. This one used mainly by the goblins in Egypt to destroy the horcruxes of various Egyptian Pharos was the reason a few thousand thousand year old Egyptians weren't running around the modern world.

Me and mom had the ritual planned for the first week in my first year at Hogwarts, if quirrel stuttered a lot and wore a turban, after cross checking with the Marauders map which I planned on getting from the twins, the ritual would be done and if he was defeated and left quirrels body his wraith would simply disappear without any issues.

Today was The 31st of July 1988 it was to be Iris's eight birthday, and today was also the day that I, Iris and Draco underwent a couple of family rituals that all Blacks underwent before their Eleventh birthdays. The rituals were simple mind you, sit in a premade circle which has been used for centuries in the basement of Black Manor. The rituals were called The blessings of Hecate, and The shield of athena respectively. The blessings of Hecate helped in magic usage so to speak. It made channeling magic easier on the body, and as such let you cast longer than you could without the ritual being done. Not monstrously more mind you just a little bit more and the more you grew in power and skill the greater the advantage the ritual gave you.

The shield of Athena was a Black family special, the ritual would not let one who had participated in it to be bound to any contract, magical or otherwise without the explicit knowledge and consent of the individual who performed the ritual. For example the farce with the Triwizard tournament will not happen if Iris doesn't know about it before hand and give explicit permission to be entered in the Tournament. That was the reason that blacks were pretty much immune to the dark sect politics and the like. It also gave the blacks a trump card as it was often offered to individuals who had been forced into contracts and the like. The only reason it didn't work with the contract my mother had with my sperm donor was because she had been informed, and forced to give her consent and sign willingly and so was outside the purview of the ritual itself.

The ritual itself was easy, we each sat in the ritual circle, underwent one ritual, there were seven reagents that would be the sacrifices, around us Arcturus would do the Chant as the Lord Black, one ritual each would be completed then the next ritual would be done in the same order.

We were all knocked out for the next day and a half due to Magical Exhaustion, Iris managed to wake up before me and was literally sitting on my chest as i awoke. I'd be angry with her but it wasn't the first time she's done it, she also does it to Sirius sometimes. Neither of us minds really she is far too adorable at this age to be angry with.

Speaking of which in the past year after I dropped and told mom everything she had trained me like crazy till nearly all my available jobs had maxed out. I had maxed Master level jobs in Potioneering, Occlumens, Rune Reading, Dagger User, Sword User, Noble Charm. I had also received and completed the Apprentice level Rune carver job and apprentice arithmancer, along with a intermediate Harry potter Historian which I assume is a world specific job. Rune carver was significantly harder to level as any mistakes I made quite literally blew up in my face. The skill Rune Reader evolved into the skill Rune Scripting as well. I am incredibly good at runes though. Nearly as good as Iris is with her potions. She has already managed to complete around sixth year in potions even with the near six month advantage I held over her. Potions just came to her in a way it didn't for me. I believe I would be better at Wanded magic then I am at potions given that both the Blacks and Malfoys Specialise in Wanded Magic over potions.

Her occlumency was coming around nicely, a lot of traps, otherworldly monsters, non magical weaponry like Anti aircraft weaponry, mounted gattling guns, so on and so forth. I also incorporated those in my defences. I have already decided that Iris will most likely be accompanying me on my further travels of she agrees to do so.

The first slot for this world's has been filled. Mostly because I liked having her around and because she was like a tiny little ball filled to the brim with cuteness. I actually planned on showing her Starfall today when I got time after breakfast and explaining stuff, especially seeing as the two principle legilmens in this world would never dare enter her mind and even if they did they would probably be defeated especially as she took my advice and poured magic into her defences every night before sleep.

Immediately after finishing breakfast I take Iris to my room and tell her, "Iris I'm going to tell you a secret okay you shouldn't tell anyone but my mother about this as she already know."

Iris looks at me with a tilt in her head and says, "sure Alex, I won't tell anyone what you are about to say."

"Very well" I take her hand and and say, "I, Alexander Corvus Black-Mlafoy, grant you the status of a Visitor to Starfall, so I say ,so let it be." I take her to Starfall and say, "welcome Iris to Starfall, my own personal World to do with as I please." She has actually got a dropped jaw.

"Well Iris her is the thing, I got this World, when I died in my previous world. When I died, a Chaos god gave me this an a couple other wishes and told me to go out in the multiverse and cause chaos so that he will be entertained, in exchange id get to go to a variety of worlds and gain a variety of powers. And well I wanted to know if you are willing to come with Menon this trip, you don't have to mind you, but in case you want to I will tell you the rules about travel now."

I explained to her how the whole thing worked, the rules about me being reborn in new worlds, the job system, her access to it if she decided to my Travel companion.

The second I was done Iris goes,"I'm going with you, no doubt about it, but when are you planing on leaving here?"

A this point I start explaining to her the story of Harry potter, she was understandably not happy, but when she realised I had changed so much, and that Voldemort would be defeated without an issue in our first year she felt a lot better. Especially once I started listing out the world's I had planned on going to in the future, and how much fun it would be. She also asked me what I planned on achieving in this world to which i pulled out my semi long-term plan list for Harry potter.
