Smile

Aegis acknowledged that the Hogwarts had a certain feeling to the entire magic thing, but...

But he finally understood just how could the entire wizarding culture in Britain so stagnate, if all generations for hundreds of years went through these old halls that seemed to forget what innovation and future is, Aegis wasn't so surprised why children and adults stagnated in these old halls, no matter how magical they felt...

After all, the environment made most of the people, and this one stagnated into intolerable levels...

"We welcome you into these halls, your majesty."

"Thank you, I must say this castle surely gives you a magical feel, Headmistress McGonagall."

Aegis said with a smile to the stiff headmistress who tried to smile on his remark but failed as the bags under her eyes told about the stress and hardships of being headmistress in these tumultuous times.

"Can I ask why you gave us a visit on such short notice? As you can see, we aren't currently in a position to welcome the royalty."

"And that is the reason I came, you see I want to take one of your burdens from your mind."

"Oh? And pray to tell me what burden you speak of, your majesty."

"The Triwizard Tournament."

"Oh, this problem."

Aegis smiled at the headmistress as he saw a man with oily hair put on a calculating look from his previous sneer that seemed to be his standard expression.

"Yes, this one, as you can understand, as the brother of one of the participants that weren't even willing one, I have reason to believe there is a better way for it to end."

"Truly? Tell me what way?"

McGonagall asked with a raised eyebrow as she didn't deny that continuing in the entire tournament idea just wasn't good, especially at this time when France magical community had fallen to infighting and Bulgaria entirely closed off as the last message from there were that multiple dark lords made attempts to overthrow ministry, and ministry sole positive thing was that these dark wizards weren't willing to cooperate and thus giving the Bulgarian ministry a breathing time.

"My sister told me about a loophole in your rules, one that can make the entire tournament by finished an hour and without any negative consequences."

Aegis said as Album ran multiple simulations just for this reason, just after she read any law or rule of both magical Britain and of the tournament itself, plus she had the help of Cinder, Morgana, Salem and Merlin who were most magically and politically adapted.

Even Merlin who mostly seemed to fool around, was throwe of knowledge when it came to rules and magical laws.

"Why, a simple game of chess."

Aegis said with a smile.

-------Time skip--------

After calling back all practicians, everything went quickly as everyone wanted for it to end without losing the magic, and that was the reason why Harriet was falsely crying in Aegis's chest as Victor Krum was slumped on his seat and Cedric Diggory wore a hopeless smile.

"What? You thought that all I have is pretty face and body?"

Fleur said with mock irritation as she stood as a winner in a chess tournament, thus fulfilling the Triwizard rules and making her into an ultimate winner.

"Hem, Hem, I believe that for such change of plans a ministry should by firstly contacted, but you didn't contact magical ministry under what the tournament falls, or even waited for our permission, as such I must regretfully announce this change avoid."

A sickly sweet voice said, and Aegis looked at the...

Pink creature...

"Miss?"

"Dolores Umbridge, undersecretary of Minister of Magic, and by today supervisor of Hogwarts and Triwizard tournament that would progress as what was previously planned."

Aegis looked at her as the hall of people started to whisper or outright yell, and looked at the goblet that seemed to be dormant the moment Fleur won.

"Good..."

Aegis said and everyone stopped speaking as they looked at him, thinking he agreed with the woman.

Umbridge for her matter, wanted to say something until Aegis made a hand gesture that seemed to freeze her up until she had fallen on the ground.

"You deserve the same fate as my father for trying to endanger my Harriet..."

Aegis whisperingly said as the others around started to panic until Aegis just dint took Harriet into princess carry and walked with her from the doors, leaving the people frozen from fear as they still felt the killing intent that Aegis wasn't able to block from reeking out, even trained Aurors that went with the pink clothed woman stood frozenly as they never felt such dread.

"W-wait!"

There was a sound behind Aegis, who looked back to see Fleur quickly following him.

"Fleur!"

Harriet cried out with a smile that Fleur briefly returned.

"Please, take me with you I need to speak with you."

Aegis raised an eyebrow but then shrugged as he made a gesture for her to follow him as they made their way outside and to the bullhead that was parked in Hogwarts gardens.

Completely ignoring the shouts from the hall, Aegis just smiled as he made sure that even magic wouldn't help the woman to ever gain back control of her body, thus sentencing her for the entire life of a prisoner in her own body.

---------------------

"What?"

"They didn't tell you?"

"No... Album?"

"Ehehe? Suprise? Tehe?"

Aegis sighed as he looked at Album who just chuckled.

"Hey! What man doesn't want an entire clan of beautiful women with sex drives of a succubus!"

"A man who wishes to live?"

Aegis asked derisively as he already was shorthanded when it came to managing his time between work, family and lovers...

"Eh, at least you would go with a bang?"

"Don't, don't ever speak with Yang again..."

"Does it truly sound so bad to marry my sister and me?"

Asked Fleur who now looked both offended and sad and derepressed, making Aegis face drop its frown into an easy smile.

"No, it isn't as such, but do you know into what you go? I already have multiple women in multiple age categories, dont you want someone who could be just yours?"

"No... It is already late, I no longer can by with anybody other than you..."

"What?"

"Ah, big brother, Veela are like certain faunus or succubus who when imprint themselves on someone they no longer wish to be separated."

"I see..."

Aegis said with a sigh as he looked at the Fleur who wore a downed expression, with a sigh and helpless smile Aegis stood up and walked to Fleur who looked at him questioningly as he took her chin into his hand and gently kissed her, making Fleur's eyes widen and then slowly close as she lost herself into that chaste yet tenderly innocent kiss.

After what felt like centuries for Fleur, Aegis stopped and pulled his head away, making Fleur sigh in disappointment.

"Then there is no longer any need for words."

Aegis said with a smile as he pulled Fleur into his arms.

"Now you belong to me..."

"Yes!"

Fleur said with smile, that dropped as she remembered.

"But you must meet my sister! And parents! And we must evacuate my clan!"

"Don't worry, sister, I already sent a fleet of bullheads and airship as support, and Fleur? Welcome to the family."

Fleur beamingly smiled as she looked at Album.

"Thank you!"
