Gilderoy Lockhart - 81

A man with blood-red hair is sitting in a chair, tossing a red stone in the air.

A tremendous amount of magic was constantly being released by the red stone.

"So this is the Great Philosopher Stone?" questioned another person with red hair and emerald eyes.

"Yes, Ela… Looking closely, it doesn't look as amazing. The way it gives immortality has many flaws… and the only use I have is it can turn any metal into gold." said the man holding the stone.

"But we can make it better… right?" said Ela, a bookworm.

The man chuckled and said "You bet! It is all equivalent value… I guess Nicholas gave it to Dumbledore because the souls powering this stone are running out, and Nicholas has no use for it anymore."

Ela narrowed her eyes at the stone and said "I still can't believe that the Great Flamel used the wars and plague to fill that stone with souls. If the ministry knew about this, they would name it a dark artefact and take it away."

The man tossed the stone toward Ela and said "I will hand this to you… you can do whatever you want with this. Just don't break the economy and share in case Bella wants to use it."

Ela, whose eyes shone with excitement, held the stone in her hand, then nodded. She wanted to do many experiments and test how far she could push this stone.

A man wearing a hoodie, Anbu pants, and sandals read the title aloud.

"Yes. Recently, there were tidings of some Goblins attacking some wizards in Hogwarts." said a man chugging a beer.

"Unfortunately, greed has no bounds… many people steal, do many things. Even go as far as selling kids to beasts for some money" replied the man wearing a hood.

Suddenly, the atmosphere turned silent. Then, the man with a beer turned around, which made some people leave and others bring out their wands.

"What is y'r name?" said the man holding a beer.

"You can call me Kuroi" said the hooded man.

"Is that so… well, Mr. Kurio, sometimes being too curious gets you killed." as he finished, he brought his wand to cast a spell.

"{Avad-}" he couldn't finish as his head rolled on the ground.

The wizards around started firing many spells, which were blocked by a magical shield cast by the hooded man.

"Come forth; my Shadows" said the man, which created a portal, causing shadow-like creatures to come through.

After that, it was a total slaughter. The creatures which out of the portal massacred every wizard, leaving a blooded tavern.

"Natan May, a dark wizard who sells kids to a werewolf named Fenrir Greyback. And other crimes are murder, ra`pe, and practicing dark arts.

Quinn Stevenson, crimes are murder, rap`e, child trafficking, and practicing dark arts.

Martin Dean…

Marco Green…

Ruben Hawkins…

Aiden Marcus…

I got the whole group" Said the man while crossing out their names in a notepad.

The man then disappeared, appeared in front of a floo, and said "to XXXX XXX Auror Department."

Arriving at the Auror department, the man handed an officer some paper and proof of his kills.

"I still can not believe there are people who still do bounty hunting nowadays." said the Auror, who was sitting at a desk seeing what was in the paper.

"I could say the same" said the man looking around.

The Auror was confused but ignored it soon and said "Well Mr. Kuroi, here is the payment. A squad of Aurors will take it over."

Kuroi then nodded and left for the Black compound.

Arriving at the compound, he saw multiple houses and an enormous palace in the center.

Asura constructed many houses around Grimmauld Palace for the Black Family.

Narcissa Black, previously Ms. Malfoy, now lives in a house with her son Draco Malfoy.

Edward Tonks, Andromeda Tonks née Black, and finally Nymphadora Black Tonks live here.

There was even a house for all the house-elves who lived there, with Kreacher in charge.

Kuroi then made to his large house next to Grimmauld Palace, which Asura gave him to live in. But he likes to spend time in Grimmauld Palace, mostly with Bellatrix Black and Ela, who usually plays chess with him.

"Welcome, Master Shikamaru" welcomed his personal house-elf Misky.

"Grr…" A groan came out, a man with red hair looking at a golden ball of light floating on top of a clay pot.

"Take 143… no response from the soul. It can neither be touched physically nor magically… *Sigh*" signed the red-haired man and leaned back in his chair.

"*creak*" The sound of a door opening rung the room and revealed another red-haired person coming inside.

"Still no response, Asura?" said the red-haired woman walking behind the man and started massaging his shoulders.

Asura grabbed one of her hands from his shoulder and lovingly kissed her on her knuckles.

"No… I want to find any information on those gods… I am dearly missing people back home, and I just want to finish my business and return quickly." said Asura looking at the ceiling longingly.

Ever since capturing Ra's soul, the sun's deity, in a sealed pot. He has been experimenting on it, trying to gain access to its power or any information on the gods.

Asura tried to use the Reaper from Naruto World, but sadly, the Reaper wasn't responding to the request. Instead, it looked like an NPC from those games Asura played in his previous life.

"I am sorry" responded the red-haired woman, feeling sad at Asura's situation.

Asura pulled the woman into his embrace and kissed her on her lips, and after a heavy make-out, Asura said "No need to apologize, Ela~."

Ela blushed and buried herself in the crook of Asura's neck.

"*knock* *knock*" Asura's office door was being knocked on.

Ela quickly got out of Asura's embrace and stood next to him. Asura chuckled at Ela's shyness and said "Enter!"

The door opened and revealed a gorgeous mature woman with blonde hair and ocean blue eyes.

"Excuse me, Lord Black… you need to see this."

Asura chuckled, looking at the moving picture of Harry punching Lockhart in the face, causing the nearby people to stare at Harry in shock.

The beautiful woman then handed another set of papers to Asura.

"I see… You need not worry, Narcissa. There is nothing important in the vaults, and I am fully prepared." Asura said, finishing reading the paper.

Narcissa nodded and said "Then excuse me, Lord Black. I will take my leave."

Narcissa left not before casting a look at Ela, who was patiently standing next to Asura with swollen lips.

After Narcissa left, Ela looked at the paper.

"T-this… is this true?" Ela questioned with a surprised face.

Asura simply nodded his head and said "War is coming…"

"Students… Welcome to another year of Hogwarts!" Dumbledore said, standing in the Great Hall while holding a cup in his hand.

"As many already know, there has been an attack on Hogwarts during the summer break!" Dumbledore revealed.

Many students were not surprised, but most muggle-born and some students were surprised to hear the news of Hogwarts being attacked.

There were whispers among the students.

"*Ahem*… The perpetrator is captured and punished by the ministry. So there is no need to worry, and there will be Dementors guarding the castle grounds, from the order of the Minster Fudge, to keep students safe from another attack." Dumbledore said while making his way to another person who came behind him,

"Ahem… Ahem… Let me introduce myself. I am your new teacher, Gilderoy Lockhart, Order of Merlin, Third Class, Honorary Member of the Dark Force Defence League, and five times the winner of Witch Weekly's Second Most Charming Smile Award. But I don't talk about that; I didn't get rid of the Banden Banshee by smiling at him" said Lockhart while giving a charming smile, which creeped out many older students.

There was chaos in the Great Hall. Many cried out, thinking Asura was retiring and Lockhart was the new Defence Against Dark Arts (DADA) teacher.

Dumbledore, who guessed many students' worry, stood up and said "Professor Black is not leaving; he is still the professor for DADA. Mr. Lockhart is an assistant professor for Duel Club, which will be created this year for students who want training in a magic duel. Professor Black is Lord of the Ancient and Most Noble House of Black and Peverell, so he is very busy and already gracious enough to teach at Hogwarts."

The students calmed down, hearing Asura was not leaving. Dumbledore then explained Asura would be head of the Duel Club, but Lockhart would be assisting him.

Dumbledore also warned many students not to leave castle grounds if they didn't want to turn into soulless husks by Dementors.

-x-X-x-

"Do you want to see the Dementors?" questioned a student with dark skin.

"Are you nuts, Dean? Did you not hear Professor Dumbledore's warning?" replied the ginger-haired boy.

"Yeah, Dean, listen to Ron… my mum told me those are not to be messed with" said another person next to the ginger-haired boy.

Dean rolled his eyes and said "Relax guys! I just have never seen a Dementor before, so I got a little curious…"

"Let's leave the topic… did you not see the new professor a little creepy?" questioned Dean, remembering Lockhart's introduction.

"Yes, he seems like an arrogant git! Who is he anyway?" asked Ron, who had never heard about Lockhart before.

"Mate!… you don't know Lockhart? He is one of the most popular wizards who wrote many books about his adventure and tales. There was news on him about Harry Potter punching Lockhart in the face during an event in Diagon Alley." said Seamus, the other boy with Ron and Dean.

Ron's face wrinkled in disgust hearing Harry Potter. His relationship with Harry had never been good.

"Don't talk about that filthy snake, Seamus. He is turning Dark, and nobody believes me. I bet those filthy snakes in Slytherin are making him another Dark Wizard." Ron vehemently said.

During summer break, Ron has been telling his parents all kinds of things about Harry, how Harry is doing dark magic, or how he is mixing with snakes. Sadly, Ron's parents never believed him, and it only got worse when they replied "He(Harry) needs more love" as Harry is an orphan.

Ron was even more annoyed when his sister Ginny Weasley, who joined Hogwarts this year, is obsessed with Harry Potter and hates whenever Ron talks badly about Harry.

'He is lucky to have no parents. No one can tell you what to do, and you can have so much freedom.' Ron jealously thought.

Noticing Ron's mood worsening, Seamus decided to change the topic.

"Will you be joining the Duel Club?" asked Seamus with evident excitement, thinking about 'fighting' with wands.

Hearing about Duel Club, Ron quickly forgot about Harry and replied "Yeah, of course!"

Ron then puffed his chest and said "( ˘n˘ )… I bet we can become champions in the club."

Dean didn't bother replying to Ron's delusion. Instead, he turned to Seamus and said "We all can sign up tomorrow."

Soon all went to bed with excitement and expectation about tomorrow.

"Welcome, students! Professor Black will be running late, so I will handle the class until he comes. Follow me!" said Lockhart, taking the students to a practice area.

When the students and Lockhart arrived at the training room, he proceeded to hand them paper.

"While we wait for Professor Black, I will quiz you on your knowledge." Lockhart said.

When the students received the paper, their faces quickly twisted in displeasure.

"Is he nuts?"

"Pompous arse`hole"

"Wazzock"

"Draft as a bush"

There were many whispers among the student. Asura as their DADA teacher, they have been taught extraordinary and learned many things about the duel and wizard fights.

Daphne wrinkled the paper in her palms and threw it aside. Students seeing the 'golden' girl throwing the paper aside, quickly started throwing paper at Lockhart.

"I believe that is enough!" suddenly, all the paper floated in the air.
