The twins nas: Selene and Cythia or nicknad as Sally and Cindy
(It was written on *******, but forgot to write it here, and now so might be confused since I only edited it now, and many have already read this chapter so I'll also write this in the beginning of next chapter.)
*****
After eting his mother, Chris went to Dora's room. There, he only found Nyxie and Selene. Dora had left for her ho along with Cindy.
Upon his entering, Nyxie stood up eagerly, ready to be taught more magic. For the whole first year, Chris had mainly taught her English and French letters, and mostly educated her about common sense and right and wrong, and not much magic was taught.
The obedient girl had learned everything, but she was still incredibly fed up with the boring stuff. Now Chris had slowly begun to teach her the fun stuff. Thus she was currently wagging her tail excitedly.
Selena slowly slithered over through the air and coiled her cerulean blue body around his neck.
Chris stroked her head which was two small horns and a very small blue Jewel in the middle of her forehead which glowed rainbow from inside.
"You didn't have to stay," he said, but Selena licked his cheek with her little forked tongue, making him laugh.
But then he sighed. He's been trying not to get too attached with the two babies since he can't take them to Hogwarts with him. He already has Nyxie, and he's standing out plenty much as it is. It would be too much if I also asked to keep an additional snake or snakes.
So, it's better to not be too attached to them since the separation will be difficult for both him and them.
He seems to have succeeded to so extent in Cynthia's case, but Selene has still always been about as affectionate towards him as she is towards Dora. This girl wants equal attention from both mommy and daddy.
Sighing, he went into the basent and gave Nyxie so work to do. Then, he started his own training with Selene wrapped around him.
The first thing he tried was to do what his mom asked him to do, only hiding his scent.
He concentrated hard on only erasing his scent. Slowly, a familiar magic covered his body and erased his scent. But... he also turned invisible.
"Che" Chris clicked his tongue. This is going to need so work. He wondered what he even needed this for. And more importantly, wtf was the matter with his mom? How the hell did she know that he had hidden his scent and how did she know it was different from normal scent-erasing or scent-masking spells.
Chris recalled all the tis she had known about his presence even before he arrived. He had always been puzzled by this ability of hers. But now it seems that it had sothing to do with his scent.
"So... that's why she's a clean-freak," he muttered, recalling the tis she had him clean himself whenever he ca from his workout. It makes sense if she had a strong sense of scent.
"Damn it," Chris covered his face in embarrassnt when he recalled the pre-cum which had leaked in pants when he was kissing Dora.
'Did she sll that too?'
Of course, she could tell sothing was up. And all the tis he's been sneaking around in disillusionnt? She must have. detect his scent already! So she knows he can cast seventh-year magic flawlessly.
"Well, it's good that she doesn't seem to bla or seem angry with for this," he muttered. That was a relief.
So, Camille had the ability to detect his scent. Now the only question was... how?
'Well, I'll find out eventually,' He shrugged and went to work.
There's a special event two days later. It's Gabrielle's birthday. And unlike the last ti, when he'd just t the Delacours, they're family now. He's realized this when he found himself getting overly angry at Louise for harming Fleur.
And now that he's called them family, you never hold back for the family.
Thus, he's currently making so more pieces of jewelry from the new stockpile of precious materials which he got from looting filthy rich french bad muggles. You just have to look into their minds to find out whether they deserve it or not.
This Jewelry, he's going to give to the Delacours for their early birthday presents along with Gabrielle.
He has found that the Delacours is a truly loyal and trusting family, all of them. They even decided to support the Martins against Voldemort. And if they're going to get into danger in the future, there's no point in not helping them be prepared from the beginning. """After all, he isn't Dumbledore."""
...
Gabrielle's birthday was a low-key event. The children of powerful and influential families are only introduced formally to the social circle only after 11. And Gabrielle also didn't want to get et unfamiliar people. Thus, only Martins, Dora, and the three familiars were invited.
The Martins also only invite the Delacours for Es's birthday. Both families don't need to keep up appearances with or suck up to anyone. It's quite the opposite. The other families usually such up to them.
The fireplace blazed to life and Chris stepped out of it, only to see Gabrielle run at him in silver a princess dress.
"Oh! A very Happy Birthday to you, princesse Gabrielle," he did an exaggerated courtesy.
Gabrielle laughed giddily as she bear-hugged him, "Do I really look like a princess?!" She asked eagerly. She only reached his waist so she was looking up to him.
"Yes, a very energetic, enthusiastic, and cute princess," said Dora who had appeared after him with Selena and Cindy. Gabrielle was already a fan of Dora, so she had personally requested for her to co multiple tis. Thus, Dora had to agree.
After that, Gabrielle greeted everyone enthusiastically including Selena Cindy, and Nyxie. Now only Es was left.
Gabrielle ca in front of Es who was waiting with a present in hand. This ti, Gabrielle didn't move to hug her and only waited.
In the end, Es pouted a little but stepped forward and hugged Gabrielle,
"Happy Birthday," she said in a small voice.
"Yayy!"
Gabrielle began jumping up and down while hugging Es.
Then Gabrielle opened the gift from Es, which was a drawing of the both of them playing hand-in-hand.
Gabrielle wiped her eyes and hugged Es again. Es rarely shows it, but she really cherishes Gabrielle's friendship.
Chris greeted the rest of Delacours and even threw in a complint for Appoline and Fleur, which earned him an eye roll from Dora.
They settled into the dining room and everyone gave their presents to Gabrielle opening quickly.
"Open mine later," Chris demanded.
Gabrielle's eyes widened, "No! I've been waiting for so many days!" She said as if it was impossible to wait.
She got a pat on the head by Appoline who smiled at Chris,
"She'll wait," she declared and sighed dramatically.
Chris smiled at Gabrielle, "Princess, the queen has spoken. So now you must wait. But... it will be worth it! Believe ," he said, recalling the ti when Gabrielle was complinting Es's jewelry.
...
Later that night, as soon the last person left,
"You can open it now," said Fleur to Gabrielle and Appoline helpfully handed her the present. It seems Gabrielle wasn't the only one curious.
Gabrielle, who was going to run and do the sa, suddenly stopped,
"Ok... I'll go open it in my room," she said mischievously as she took the box.
This made both Fleur and Appoline annoyed. 'Where is this girl learning this from?!' Of course, who else could it be but her new idol who just left?
"Oh for co on! Open it already, I'm dying to see what's inside!" Exclaid Sebastian.
Sebastian always goes quite easy on Gabrielle and even tries to take her side when her mother scolds her (the keyword being try) Thus, Gabrielle agreed.
"Here it is!"
She carefully opened it, and everyone unconsciously leaned over to see what it was. And the Delacours' eyes widened.
Inside were very beautiful Jewelry sets, and ornants like bracelets and lockets, all of them carved with very small runes and the tals shined quite brightly.
"Wowowowowow!!!" Gabrielle began jumping in excitent.
"It's almost as beautiful as the one Es has!" she exclaid.
She quickly picked up a locket and put it on and what happened next surprised everyone. Since the allure which she always emits suddenly started to reduce until it died down.
"Ooooh! It's so good!" She exclaid feeling the comfortable sensation slowly spreading throughout her body.
Appoline and Fleur were also very surprised. This seems to be the sa type of jewelry which they saw Camille and Dora wear every day. Both of them had also always wanted one, but Camille and Dora had always kept shut about it.
So, Chris was the source.
Both of them experintally tried one on.
"WHAT?"
"NO WAY!"
Both of them found their allure relaxing and stabilizing slowly as the magic took effect.
Appoline fell back on a couch, "How is this possible?!" She exclaid. The allure was a problem that couldn't be properly solved even with occluncy since they can't keep their occluncy shields active all the ti and be robotic and passive shields weren't able to completely block it.
Thus, it's always been one of their biggest problems. And sohow, this piece of Jewelry can stabilize it.
Though their surprise was nothing compared to Sebastian's.
As soon as the guy touched a ring, he's been in shock and the hand which held the ring kept trembling.
"How... how... how... how..." he keeps muttering like a broken record. The magic of the ring was helping him strengthen his occluncy shields, and it was also very slowly healing so of the cuts he'd gotten on his finger from artificing today. He could also sense that the Magic would have more miraculous effects if worn long-term.
He couldn't begin to imagine how this was possible. There was no magic spell for augnting occluncy, not to ntion an enchantnt. And he had a hunch that healing wasn't the only other thing it'll provide.
He quickly began to check all the runes inscribed, only to find that he couldn't read even one.
Gabrielle picked up a note from the box, "There's a note!" She announced and Sebastian snatched it from her hands before anyone could react.
He began reading it out loud for everyone to hear,
"Everyone, I hope you guys aren't too surprised It's just another aweso thing from your aweso Chris. You guys ought to be used to it now, right?
Moving on, these artifacts help in occluncy a lot and there are so other great benefits, my family already has them and I consider y'all as my family as well, thus, I don't want any rejection and mom and dad also feel the sa.
Also, I can't tell anyone where I found them, not even my family, so don't ask. And Sebastian, don't try to dig into it... that precious thing will explode and no one wants that"
"Che!" Sebastian clicked his tongue. He was eager to find out. He got a whack on the head by Appoline.
He got back to reading the letter, "Anyways, consider these my Birthday presents to you all, and once again, Happy Birthday Gabrielle,"
"Sigh..." Appoline sighed, "Looks like we're even further indebted to that boy,"
Fleur was also feeling the sa, especially since she knew about what he did for her at the Selection tournant. He didn't even claim credit for it. Only protecting her from behind the scenes.
*Cough* "There's a bit more," said Sebastian as flipped the letter,
"P.S. Don't feel indebted to or anything. My receiving end is broken. I don't want anything in return. Besides, there are no debts among family, only favors,"
"Damn," Sebastian saluted, "This guy's a mind-reader,"
But Appoline still shook her head as she made a hesitant expression, "But... we can't accept this just like that, we must give sothing in return,"
Sebastian scratched his head in embarrassnt, "Ah... there's more..."
Appoline popped a vein on her head, "Read it in one go," she ordered.
This he read, "But... oh wait! There's actually sothing that I want from you guys. Just keep your occluncy so good that even the best occluns can read your mind.
Don't let Gabrielle et eyes with anyone or even go in front of Legincers. Soon I'm going to have sothing which can defend against Legilincy attacks, I want everyone to prevent their minds from being read by chance anwhile.
Don't go in front of anyone who's older than a hundred since you don't know who might be a hidden expert (just look at for example). Yeah, so keep this all a secret, that's what I want."
"...."
The days passed by quickly for Chris... far too quickly for his liking. He really wanted these amazing days to never end, but what's he to do? He doesn't have Ti magic.
Nothing particularly remarkable happened in these days except for the fact that Sirius Black had escaped the Azkaban.
In these days, Chris settled into a routine. In the morning, he'd make upif he'd slept at all and start the day with intense body tempering, then he'll try to gain enlightennt in the dao of sword, then he'll try to refine his own Pinnacle Grade artifactthe Chriscalibur.
After that, he'll exchange pointers with two Jade beauties senior sister Fleur and his dao companion Dora under the guidance of the Patriarch of Martin family.
Then, he'll play with his little sister Xiao Es, Xiao Gabrielle, and his contracted spiritual beasts Nyxie, Sally, and Cindy.
After dinner, he'll try to convince his dao companion to walk on the path of Dual Cultivation with him, only to be rejected ti and ti again, but he was still able to make breakthroughs of several minor realms in that departnt.
The path of a cultivator is indeed filled with hardships.
That's why he always thanks the heavens for bestowing him with young master fortune. The protagonist is already his sworn brother. The final boss doesn't have any particular aggression against him.
Thus, these days were truly golden for him. But alas, all good things must co to an end. 'Tis the law of the world that everyone must follow.
'At least until I break it,' thought the arrogant young master.
(Turning off the Wuxia switch)
Tomorrow was the first of September, the start of the new term. Thus, he had to leave.
"Can't you just stay here? You can learn from my dad. Just tell Moody to go alone," said Chris as they wandered around outside in the manor's grounds in the morning while holding hands.
Dora looked at a raven who was sitting on a tree branch as she made sad face, "Not possible. The things that are left in the training are all different in British and French Auror training. So I have to learn from Moody," she sighed, "But you really are a rule breaker, aren't you? To think that the Vanishing Cabinet can even by-pass HOGWARTS WARDS!" She shook her head in disbelief.
Dora was so surprised when she'd first heard that.
'This guy can visit ho anyti he wants!'
But... it was SO like Chris. The guy really never followed the norms. Even the supposed impenetrable Hogwarts wards can't stop him.
Chris sighed, "Then it's our last day together," he said, drawing her closer. He can't just give her the Vanishing Cabinet since if Moody found out that Hogwarts wards can be penetrated then his hack was done for.
Chris held both of her hands and drew her closer. This ti, Dora had her down in embarrassnt but she still ca close. She knew what was coming.
