15 Summoning a Researcher & Unexpected News
--------------------------
After a few hours of exploring the castle, Hermione and Harry left through [Gate] to meet her parents while leaving behind Nagini with a clone in the library. Harry sat down cross-legged on a table nearby and put Nagini beside him. It didn't take him much time to create a skill that will grant his abilities to other people. He called it [Ability Grant]. Then he created another skill called [Genetic Analysis]. He immediately used [Genetic Analysis] on Nagini. She glowed with white colour and then entered Harry's body carrying along with the whole genetic structure of Nagini's DNA. Harry opened his eyes suddenly and took out parchments and a quill. Then he started drawing the whole data the papers.
DNA, a very complex structure yet fascinating because a person's DNA must be exactly the same across all the body's cells, DNA has the ability to make copies of itself. DNA contains instructions needed for an organism to develop, survive and reproduce. In Nagini's case, the maledictus curse probably carried by blood was inherited by her mother. Then in some way, the DNA got activated and started to make copies of itself. Once the number of DNAs dominated the human DNAs, they started destroying them and taking their place thus turning her permanently leading to her entrapment in the snake form.
Now he was in desperate need of a researcher's assistance. He also remembered that he promised Hermione a present.
He then took all the parchments and opened [Gate] to Potter Manor and took Nagini along. He went straight to the basement where a lab was located. He put Nagini on the study table, turned around and took out his wand. He draws a circle in the air using his wand. The circle glowed in yellow colour. Then moved his hand in rotatory motion and the circle turned from vertical to horizontal and then slammed it on the ground creating black lines along. Now the magic circle for summoning was ready. Nagini watched in awe at the magnificent and beautiful display of magic. Then she heard him murmuring something.
[Come forth, Darkness! I seek the obsessed researcher of Babylon: Regina Babylon]
'I hope it works' Harry thought to himself. Then the circle started shining with bluish glow and a humanoid figure could be seen in the middle of blinding light. When the light got cleared, the figure of a beautiful woman with long messy blond hair extending to her waist appeared. She looked to be in her 20s. She wore glasses, a slovenly worn jacket and skirt with a white laboratory coat on top of it which didn't do any help in hiding her curves.
"Hey there! I am Professor Regina Babylon. A pleasure to meet you, Harry James Potter."
"Ahh!? How do you know my name?"
"Well! Seems like it's your first attempt at a dark summoning spell with intelligent beings. Once you summon someone with high intelligence, they get a choice of accepting or refusing your summon."
"You mean, you accepted my summon?"
"That's right and when I answered your call, now, I am soul-bonded to you. So, it means we talk to each other or … I can just take a peep at your crazy fantasies." Harry smiled at her craziness. He knew from the anime that she is very perverted.
"Stop acting now. Come closer. I am gonna give you some information that might help you build yourself an identity that you need." Regina came near Harry. He touched her forehead with his two fingers and information about magic, the wizarding world, the rules, and how to access certain places in the magical world transferred to her mind.
"Wow! It's so amazing information. That will take so much time in practice." When she calmed down after the outburst of the vast knowledge inside her head, she exclaimed with newfound determination. Her obsession with creating new inventions and discoveries is clearly shown due to her facial expressions.
"Harry! I need a wand."
"Why do you need a wand? You can do magic even without a wand."
"Well! I want to see and learn the magic of this world in their way."
"Fine! Follow me." Harry opened [Gate] to his shop in Knockturn Alley and entered.
"Wow! Harry, you can use that magic as Touya did."
"You know Touya?"
"Yes I know, I have been seeing him back in my old world. I had an artefact that would look into the future and there I saw him."
Harry then changed into his Lucifer form and gestured for her to follow.
"Don't call me Harry in this form. You can call me Lucifer." Harry said to Regina who looked annoyed due to some reason for a while but then smiled and walked up to him.
"Why bother memorizing many names, when I can just call you, Darling or Sweetheart." Regina crossed her arm with his like a couple and said. Harry snorted at her statement, "Shut up!"
"Why are you so mean?" She said again in a seductive tone. Harry annoyingly stared at her red eyes but decided to stay quiet. Now, his hormones were not honest with him and started reacting. He calmed himself down and led her to Ollivander.
They entered the shop and looked around. As usual there was no one in the shop but Harry was sure that Garrick Ollivander will surely try to scare them.
"Hello!" Suddenly, Ollivander appeared from behind the shelves with a sliding sound of the ladder.
"It is nice to meet you Mr Emrys. How may I be of help? I remember every wand I sold but I don't remember selling you."
"It's nice to meet you too, Mr Ollivander. I don't use a wand. This lady here requires a wand." Harry replied.
"Oh! My Fiancé doesn't like attention but he has the strongest wand you can ever find, Mr Ollivander. My name is Regina Babylon." Regina said with a teasing smile, but looking at Ollivander's expressions, Harry could tell that he was thinking something strange.
Then Ollivander showed Regina several wands but she ended up with the same as Harry's,
"Elder wood with Thunderbird feather, 12 inches long, a very curious combination Mr Emrys. These wands are powerful but difficult to master and are good for Transfiguration work. Like the birds the feathers are taken from, the wands are also able to sense danger and can cast curses on their own. They are known to fire curses pre-emptively when supernatural dangers are present." Ollivander went on with his usual explanation about the wand and the core it possesses. Harry stayed silent since he knew that taking wands was a child's best moment therefore he didn't interfere and let her absorb everything on her own.
After taking the wand, they roamed around the Diagon Alley for some other supplies of magical items and books on Blood magic. Blood magic was one of the forbidden magic in the wizarding world. Harry has a lot of things on his plate. He has to recruit people to do work for him like a private army, but he'll have to do this in private since it is illegal to keep an army without official notice.
While they continued to shop, Harry's original received a notification from his Gringotts manager telling him that the ministry has appointed a legal operation to seize the Pendragon vaults. The reason they mentioned in the letter to Gringotts was something very peculiar. They said that the Pendragon vault is the national vault of England therefore everything inside the vault is the property of the whole England rather than the Heir of Pendragon.
Harry informed his account manager to give a short warning before they try to enter the vaults. Now, that the heir of Pendragon vaults have appeared, they have recognized his magical signatures and due to the fact that Merlin himself was the one who has enchanted the vaults, Harry doesn't have to worry about his vaults.

Hogwarts Castle -- Highland in Scotland -
Headmaster's Office
Headmaster of Hogwarts Dumbledore was pacing around in his office as usual while reading some papers when a house-elf appeared in his office.
"Dumbledore sir! Dobby brought Master Harry Potter's letter. Master Harry Potter said it is urgent." Dobby said to the headmaster, whose expressions got serious and took the letter from the elf.
"Thank you, Dobby!" Dumbledore thanked the elf and opened the letter. The elf, Dobby, disappeared with a pop sound.
-----------------------------
Professor Dumbledore,
I hope you are enjoying a limitless amount of Lemon sherbet. I am currently in France with Grangers on holiday. I also wanted to inform you that Sirius will be coming back from St. Mungo this weekend and I have already changed my guardian. Therefore I will be living with Sirius in Black Manor. I know that you wanted me to stay with my Aunt because of the blood wards. Now thanks to my short trip to Azkaban, I don't have the protection of my mother's magic.
I have found several sorts of Lemon sherbet here in France and would like to bring something for you. I hope you would like them.
Now, there is some very disturbing news I just received from my Gringotts account manager. It says that my possessions over the accounts of Pendragon are unlawful and they claim that whatever is inside the vault belongs to the nation and in extension, to the ministry. Today, they are going to be leading a team of curse breakers and Aurors to the Pendragon vaults. I talked to Madame Bones and informed her about the dangers that they could face but she said that this group is led by Lucius Malfoy who is intent on taking whatever I have.
I would like to tell you that the Pendragon vaults are enchanted by Merlin himself; therefore they are not very hospitable to intruders. The people in the operations could lose their very lives if they try to make their way inside forcefully. I talked to my father's second cousin, Ethan Peverell but he is not in Europe.
I hope you manage to convince them and save their lives.
Regards,
Harry James Potter,
--------------------------------------
Harry's letter was very strange. First, he explained his situation so, Dumbledore and the ministry would believe that he was indeed out of Europe since he had prepared papers for himself the day before. His only unlawful act was that he travelled to France alone without a guardian but its proof is also removed. But there was a little twist if someone can't prove that he has travelled legally then there was also no proof that would say otherwise.
Finally, Harry burst the bomb of the bad news.
After reading the letter, Dumbledore's facial expressions begin to falter drastically. He called McGonagall, the deputy headmistress.
"Albus, is something urgent?"
"Yes Minerva, there is something very urgent I need to discuss with the minister. I am heading out for a while." Then Professor Dumbledore disappeared with a flash of fire along with his phoenix. Professor McGonagall stood there agape at the headmaster and left for her own office.

Note:
I am a bit confused regarding the pairing of the main character. Sometimes, I think to introduce another character as a Heroine like an elemental, intelligent and creative. The characters of the canon don't seem suitable for a character like Harry, many of which are a bit irritating.
Hermione: Bookworm with zero creativity
Luna: A bit paranoid but intelligent
Daphne: Ice princess and Blood supremacist though without much information in the canon, Daphne is an empty slate.
Susan: This character is quite loveable, I think. The fact that there is not much information given in the novel gives much freedom in writing.
Cho: A sweet girl but very sensitive and a crybaby.
The others just look like fangirls so, a big NO...
So, if you have any suggestions, please provide your thoughts on which character would be suitable or which kind of character should I add.
