Ep. 33
After the events in June, I decided to stop going to Hogwarts. Classes are useless right now and Voldemort's death made this world's 'interest points' go down drastically. I still did send a puppet, but I didn't concentrate on it. Anyway, Skeeter published a shit-ton of articles, which basically made it so that the Ministry couldn't possibly say 'Nah, that was a joke: there was no Voldemort'. Pretty smart move. Fudge didn't seem to mind though, since I was awarded another 'Order of Merlin, First Class', the very same day I vanquished the 'evil Dark Lord'.
I took my N.E.W.Ts privately at the Ministry. They were quite cordial aka submissive and organized everything in a matter of minutes. Well, the result was that I got O+'s in all of my exams, again. After that, I started lazing around with Mother and Risa for a few days. My friends all went to do their own stuff, while I was thinking about getting rid of Fudge and Umbitch. Hm… Yes, let's do that and skedaddle. Maybe that will need some preparation, but still.
I apparated directly to the Ministry and started hiding my presence. I followed some workers in the 'lift that doesn't lift' and placed all of them in a Genjutsu. After that, I pressed the button to Fudge's office. If you are wondering, no, it isn't that easy to infiltrate the Minister's office. The button itself has a shit-ton of wards and enchantments, but I hijacked them in a couple of seconds.
I ended up on the same floor as Fudge's office and I could sense two people inside. One must be Fudge, of course, while I can bet my dick that the second is the Umbitch. I waited for whatever they were doing to end while sipping on my blood-shake. I could already radiate heat, but I am not sure about the other powers I wanted. I saw Umbitch exit the office, so I commanded her to resign from her post, write a confession of all of her crimes and send it to Rita Skeeter, then drown herself in the Thames. Ah, how generous of me to not torture her.
I entered Fudge's office and found him drinking some firewhiskey. That reminds me, I'm getting some cigarettes before going home. I dropped my presence concealment and scared the shit out of the Minister, who spewed out his drink. Ugh, how unclassy.
"W-who are you?!"
"You gave me an 'Order of Merlin' a few days ago, don't you remember?"
He had an epiphany or something. "Mr. Maleficarum, sorry, you surprised me. How may I help you?"
"Pretty simple -" I placed him in a Genjutsu with 'corporal punishment' from Mil-tan and Puri-Puri Prisoner, then started hypnotising him. "You will do the same as Umbitch: resign from your post, send a letter confessing all of your crimes to both Rita Skeeter and Amelia Bones, but don't drown yourself. I want you to go to Azkaban, which is much worse than just drowning."
The man nodded with a lost expression and began writing on a piece of parchment, while his other quill was copying it onto another paper. I was honestly disgusted by the man: embezzlement can pass, corruption as well, but asking for sexual favors in exchange for promotions? Nope, straight to hell for me. I cursed him to develop gangrene all over his body after reaching Azkaban and also die by Fiendfyre when the time comes for him to go.
I returned home and continued relaxing with Mother and Risa. I made myself some blood-flavored cigarettes, since I had tried buying a packet from a Muggle shop but… My Vampire senses made me retch when I tried to smoke. Well, I guess that I now have an excuse to make a totally safe and healthy cigarette!
I was just lazing around on the couch while reading a novel when I decided to get the 'weight off my chest'.
"Mother, Risa… What do you think of a 'trip'?"
"Trip? Sure, where are we going? Japan maybe? Or China? We still need to go there!" said Mother, hyped about the trip.
"Well, it's a little different than that. I am talking of a trip… To a different world."
"Oh, I see! You are a chuuni!" said Risa
"Where did you even learn that? No, I am not a chuuni. I am serious. We can go to different worlds with a magic I recently developed."
They both became thoughtful for a second.
"I really have nothing here except for you, Az. I will come with you, no matter where it is." said Mother.
"Me too. Just a letter to my parents and we can go. I mean, I still need to pack my bags, we should deal with the bookstore, and all that stuff…" said Risa, thinking about all the stuff we need to do.
I just smiled at them. "Don't worry. Just deal with the bags while I deal with the rest."
I will use an automata to keep tabs on the bookstore and my business, so there is no need to worry about that. I will put in stock some grimoires on individual magic 'branches', such as flame magic or healing. They won't be too advanced like my grimoires, but still quite good for the Potterverse. The automata also has some blueprints and recipes to create new stuff to sell with the Goblins. If I ever do come back here, I will definitely be the richest man alive and the wizarding community will have prospered.
Oh, I did visit my Death Eater 'friends' back in Azkaban and… 'Liberated' some of their cells. Quite a nice snack, to be honest. I don't know why Crouch Jr.'s blood tasted so shit. Must be because of the Polyjuice Potion.
That night, I had a nice surprise from both Risa and Mother, but more on that later. We decided to depart for our next world the next day, with much calm and after a nice bath, since we reeked of… 'Fun stuff'. As I said, more on that later.
I will roll a dice to decide where to go, hopefully not some super-powerful place where people can break the fabric of reality with a punch (I'm looking at you, Dragon Ball). I ended up limiting my choices to RWBY, Fate, DanMachi, and MHA, which I considered more of the 'mortal' worlds. Sure, Fate is cutting it a bit close with the Heroic Spirits and all that, but still. Konosuba has literal (useless, self-proclaimed, but thicc) Goddesses running around, Star Wars has old men that can literally absorb all life on a planet by just… Uh, I don't know, doing something? Pokémon has 10 year olds mingling with literal Godly monsters and fucking aliens. DxD… Is more subdued, but they have Longinus and actual Godly beings there, so nope. Marvel and DC are like a fuckpile of universal-level threats.
Sure, DanMachi still has (self-proclaimed) Gods and Goddesses (that I am sure are just aliens), but they are still only at normal human power levels with their Arcanum's sealed. And they might just get to peak human levels without the seals. Why did I go on a rant about DanMachi? Because the dice ended up falling on the 3, which means DanMachi! Yay… Well, there is the Dungeon there, and the One-Eyed Black Dragon, so I could have some fun. Actually, I am not sure how much Mother and Risa might like DanMachi… I guess that I will open a bookstore for them. Actually, I can just link the bookstore in Diagon Alley to a store in Orario! Oh, that will be fun as hell! Imagine an Adventurer encountering a wizard!
The next day, which means the day we decided to depart, I woke up with Mother and Risa on either side of me, using my arms as pillows. Hm, yes, I can die happily. Actually, that would be stupid of me, since I don't know if I can bring with me my current powers. Lady Death did say that, in case I died, I would just reincarnate into the next world I wrote down on her survey, but nothing about powers… Better be safe than sorry.
Anyway, the two soon started stirring awake, so I used Subjective Reality to get them some breakfast in bed. Best use of my powers so far…
"I hate you…" murmured Risa.
"Nope, you love me, otherwise you wouldn't be here right now."
"Mm… Az, shut up and sleep some more…" said a sleepy Mother. Should I start calling her Arastea? Hm… Dunno, so that's for later!
In the end, it took another hour before I was free to get up. I decided to check on my interface after a long time.

Good, my interface became sassy or something. Well, it's a little better for me, so who cares. A shit-ton of new powers, which I will never use probably, but it's always better if I have them.
I turned the pages for the first time in a while and saw a list of universes, including some that I didn't actually write in the survey, but did think about. However, what caught my eye was the fine print at the bottom of the page: 'Time dilation will occur while traveling between realities. Expect a minimum of 10:1 ratio between your new reality and the previous one. The same applies to the original reality.'
Damn, should have checked this out earlier. Basically, I can spend ten years somewhere and a year or less will have passed here in the Potterverse. Plus, a maximum of two years have passed in my old world. Maybe I should jump back there with the Rinne-Sharingan and say hi…
Anyway, Mother and Risa got their luggage and entered the suitcase. I then put that into my Kamui dimension. I also got my stuff quite quickly: I always had my grimoires with me, either at my hip or inside my enchanted pouch. My weapons were also inside the pouch, except for the ring/wand. In my room I had some clothes, some books, mainly novels, a few maps for decoration and practical use, and nothing else. Damn, I lived quite a frugal life for someone with reality-warping powers…
I shoved everything inside my Kamui dimension and got ready to take a trip home. I won't even tell Mother and Risa. I infused some aka most of my magic into my Rinne Sharingan and a sort of portal opened up. I stepped inside and found myself… Skydiving from the fucking sky! Well, I did see a modern plane going by, so I should at least be in the right time period. Who knows if I'm in the right reality…
I controlled gravity around myself to go faster and actually push me in the right direction. Hehe, horizontal gravity for the win! I flew for a couple of hours at high-hypersonic speeds and toured the planet for a while. I can safely say that this is as normal as normal gets, with no particular powers, energies, or incredible tech. I flew 'home' and found my parents' house. Oh, I did check the date on a newspaper and I have been 'absent' for a year and two months. Ugh, I am getting second thoughts.
I shapeshifted into my old appearance and knocked on the door. Soon enough, my sister opened the door. When she saw me, she immediately punched my nose.
"Hey! It's not how you greet someone who's been dead for a year!"
"Hey! You shouldn't have told us: 'Oh, I somehow am getting reincarnated'! Do you have any idea how that made us feel?!"
"Nope, but I did come back!"
Then came my mother. She slapped me hard, repeatedly. Then came my father, who punched my hard. Damn, what an abusive household…
"Can you guys stop assaulting me and maybe allow me inside? I've got places to be, stuff to do, universes to explore."
We moved to the living room and I sat on the couch, while my (old) family sat in front of me.
"You will explain, everything, right now." said my father.
"Sure. I was studying for uni, got a strange pop-up, and got killed by Lady Death, the one from the Marvel comics. Then, I got reborn into the Harry Potter universe and now I am stopping here for a bit before heading to another universe."
I received many blank stares.
"Wait, reborn… You have another family now?" asked my mother.
"There are… Circumstances, but I do have another mother. Oh, and I look absolutely sexy now, so there's something good from reincarnation."
"Ooh, show me!" ordered my sister, so I returned to my usual appearance. She gulped hard. "Hey, theoretically we are not sibli-"
"Don't even think about it, sis."
"So? What is this thing about reincarnation?" asked my father
"Well, I told you already. Now, I can basically go around to different universes and cause hav- and have fun while providing entertainment for some universal figures, like Lady Death! I actually died crushed by her thighs, so I accomplished the dream of many men!"
We continued to chat for a bit, but it was mainly me talking about what I did in the past year and what I will do from now on. Hm… I will bring them along sometime in the future, maybe.
When it was time to go, I activated my Rinne Sharingan.
"Chuuni! Did you seriously give yourself those eyes?! I expected more from my brother!"
"Shut it, sis! I didn't ask for these, I made them myself! They are OP, so don't give me shit about them!" I made a portal appear with my interface and waved goodbye to my family.
