[12] Nefarious Plans

Act 2 | School Days : Year 1 | Nefarious Plans

-----

"I said I am going to save you."

Eve just sat there unable to respond as the words kept repeating in her head. She was about to scold Zack for playing around such sensitive topic but when she glanced back at this face she knew her nephew was joking at all, he infact was dead serious and it meant..

"I-I wont d-die? C-can I really be s-saved?" Eve asked shakily and her eyes watered when Zack nodded with a smile. "I can really be saved!"

"Yes. Like I said. No one is taking my family away from me." Zack said seriously with a resolved face and was startled as Eve lept towards him and hugged him. He sighed and patted her head until she calmed down.

Zack patted Eve as he thought about how he had discovered the way to help Eve and extended her lifespan.

When Zack managed to comprehend the concept of Death and emulate its counter he had also comprehended the concept of life but as he didn't get any visit by the Primordial who governs that concept he had pushed that to the back of his mind and he only realised that when he discovered that the method to save Eve was connected to that concept.

He then had again emulated the concept of life but this time he had integrated it into his Full Recovery spell which aside from healing physical wounds now could also restore vitality. Basically his already OP spell now was at the point of being called 'stupidly broken' but he didn't mind at all. The more advantages he had the better.

And based on this spell he made another one specifically designed for Eve to break the shackles placed around her soul by nature and extented her lifespan past its initial limit and boy was it a jarring job since he had no reference to compare to.

When he created the counter of the killing curse he had used the curse as a reference to create a spell that was its exact opposite but this time he had none, but after a few trial and error the spell was created surprisingly without much setbacks.

And it was at this moment the Primordial governing Life decided to pay him, her dued visit. What exactly occurred is a story for another time but basically the entity is like an older siblings who scolded Zack a bit about being reckless and educated him about many things regarding the usage of the concepts.

The entity while passsed her blessing onto Zack she had also placed limitations on Zack regarding the usage of her concept and Zack thought it was reasonable.

Aside from the misuse there were other factors one such being the divinity in the concept. This concepts are created by the Apex of the Multiverse, the creator and the concepts posses a level of Divinity and while Zack can use the lower aspects of the Concepts he can't use the higher aspects such as resurrection or birth.

It's not like he doesn't want to but more like he can't. He just can't and that isn't because of the entity placing limitations on him, well that's the reason but it was done for his own good.

If Zack as he is right now were to use the higher aspect of the Primordial concept the he can only say goodbye to his existence. Divine aspects can't be manipulated by lower existences unless certain conditions are meet in certain situations.

No matter how strong or formidable Zack is it doesn't change the fact that he possesses a mortal body. That body won't be able to endure even an ounce of Divinity and will just cause him to simply burn out of existence.

Unless he finds a way to become a higher existence the Divine aspects are a no go for him and that means he can't always rely on the OPness of the concepts.

But Zack was content with what he could make use from the concepts and so he in the past few years comprehend each Primordial concept and familiarised himself with entities of their respective aspect.

And alas! The point is that he can help Eve so after she calmed down he asked her to lay down on the bed and close her eyes.

Zack positioned his arms over her and closed his eyes and casted one of his best masterpiece.

A golden magic circle with intricate designs materialized above Eve with the centre of the circle being right above the centre of her magic core.

Two more circle appeared above the original circle visibility smaller in size as the toppest circle being the smallest.

Zack poured his magic power into the magic circle as the began two glow. Golden wisps of energy was seemingly being sucked out of the atmosphere and towards the magic circle, passing through them one by one as if getting filtered in a way before it started seeping into her core and began to modify her very existence. Eve's figure began to glow as the circles stopped glowing and disappear.

Eve's body was bustling with vitality as every cell in her body was being charged by it. The impurities in her body were cleaned, as her body stopped glowing Zack was left in a daze as he saw his aunt.

Her skin was unmarred and looked soft like that of a baby's. Her figure also had became fuller but the biggest difference was that she had multiple light-golden highlights in her silver hair which has become far more silky and shiny than their original self.

Zack smiled as Eve opened her eyes looking unsure how to act. She could clearly feel the change that occurred within her and it was honestly liberating. She felt like she was reborn.

Looking at Zack she saw gently smiling towards her.

"I told you, didn't I?" Zack asked smugly. Eve's eyes teared up once again as she pulled Zack into her bossom giving him a tight warm hug. Zack sighed but just embraced her.

Even after half an hour Eve wasn't ready to let go and insisted Zack to stay which Zack agreed to after a while and so they slept together.

But nothing happened.

Sadly.

--[LineBreak]--

Zack happily sipped on his hot chocolate as he waited for Harleen to finish her breakfast. Last night he had resolved Eve's problem without any major issue and that crosses out one of the majot things from his list.

Now next up is Lady Death's mission, the elimination of Deathly Hallows. Zack read the story of the Deathly Hallow and honestly it was bullshit, why would Lady Death offer them gifts to lure them when all she could do was drop a large tree on them and just get rid of them.

The brothers had made use of a sacrificial ritual magic, a branch of black magic of sorts to power normal objects with the essence of Lady Death which enraged her but as she isn't allowed to manifest into the physical plane she could only rely on other means to get rid of the brothers but the Hallows remained like a stigma right in her face.

So now it was his responsibility to totally get rid of the Deathly Hallows. After some research he was able to locate the Deathly Hallows and much to his annoyance the three of them were currently in Albus Dumbass' possession.

The invisibility cloak has been House of Potter's family heirloom for centuries and it didn't take a genius to know how Albus got hold of it.

Elder Wand shrouded mystery as it has a long list of short lived owners with Gellert Grindleward being the previous owner before Albus slept with him to end the war and took possession of the elder wand.

'Ugh. I know its still a theory but it still grossed out and when Albus actually blushed when I joked about him being ga-*shiver*' Zack mentally shivered before banishing the thought out of his mind.

The most troubling part is about the Stone Of Resurrection and how Albus had managed to acquired it. The Stone's history is lost as there are almost no records about it after it's original owner died.

Albus wanted to revive his sister who had died due to his mistake but had failed to resurrect her as the innocent girl was happy where she was.

'As long as they are away from Albus' clutches anyone would be happy.' Zack's thoughts were dipped deep into sarcasm as he remembered just how much Harleen had to suffer due to his supposed witty games and for the sake of the fucking greater good.

"So have you decided which school you want to join...?" Eve asked as she plopped herself besides Zack pushing her seat and herself as close to him as she could while unconsciously pressing her jutting assets onto his shoulders. Zack smiled wryly as he felt everybody's pointed stare as they wondered why Eve decided to get a new makeover and why was she this happy.

"You-*ahem* Well yes, I have." Harleen controlled her jealousy as she answered. "Its Hogwarts."

"Are you certain?" Esther asked worriedly as Harleen looked at her with a questioning gaze. "I strongly oppose. You know the old coot is still there and we don't what he might try. Its too risky especially without anyone to look after you."

"Well that is true. But if I go to other school just because of the old coot and the nose-neutered bastard then that would mean that I'm just running away from my problems and running away won't solve them." Harleen said looking down at her plate. "At best I will just be stalling them."

"That maybe so but there's also the fact that Hogwarts education standard had only seen a decline in a past few years with each new one being worse that the previous." Olivia who herself was an Hogwarts graduate said with a disgusted expression. "I also oppose-"

"I think we should just let Harleen and just support her decision." Zack smiled gently setting his cup down. "Its her choice afterall."

"But-"

"Na-ah. No buts. While you all do have a valid point but so does Harleen. Running away isn't the solution and with the trip to Land of Fairies I am sure she has grown a lot stronger. Right?" Zack grinned as Harleen blushed sensing how much trust Zack had in her. "Also, you can be at ease regarding her education and most importantly her safety. None of them are getting sabotaged, after all I am going with her to make sure of that."

"What/Really?!" The dumbfounded ladies bar a hopeful Harleen screamed.

"You heard it. There's no way I'm letting that old coot and moldyshorts get away with what they have done to Harleen. Its maybe Harleen's duty and destiny to get rid of moldy but protecting her... I'm going to make that duty mine and I'll be saved if I let anybody hurt her again." Zack said with resolve. 'That and I've got a personal agenda against Oldy and Voldy and for that I'll have to be in Hogwarts. As they say-'

'Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.'

"I have already completed my education long ago and at the point I am right now I am researching magic independently and I'n a few years I'll inherit all the wealth, property and business of my pares and so I'm not in necessary need for more education or wealth and with no clear goal now this might also give me something to work on with for the next decade or so." Zack tried to make it logical but the others laughed as the boy tried too hard to act like an adult.

"You are just to soft to let Harleen go alone." Eve smirked.

"Hah! You can't prove that!"

"You didn't deny it." Esther joined Eve.

"I-Well... Damn."

"Hahahaha!"

A/N: Yo

It's been a while. I know, I know.

I've reasons for that tho. Firstly I realised I was too dependent on the hope that I'll get enough donation to quit my job and do this for a living and it became quite clear that it was unrealistic after I didn't get any and I'm not blaming y'all. It isn't mandatory afterall...

But to fulfill my needs and fill the stomach of my family I had to quit my last job to get a new one and as I'm 19 not many are willing to give me even the chance to prove myself. But I got one and this time I with heavy heart had to apply for extra-hours for more pay.

My last one was 8 hour one with this one being 12 hour and with extra-hours it can take to 14-16 hours minimum four times a week depending on the work load.

I managed to get a breather today after Idk... a week? anyways I got one so I decided to update.

If I were you I wouldn't be to hopeful about daily update cause it's not possible unless yall give me the formula to make me forget about resting all together.

Anyways I've said too much. thanks for the support as always.

I love y'all.
