21 The Greengrass Heiress!
{Hogwart's Express, King's Cross Station, London}
{1st Sep 1991}
Rigel looked up at Daphne and noticed that she was looking out of the window, he looked at the panel and focused on the {Completed} button at the end of the first objective. His eyes snapped to Daphne as he could sense her mana move around rapidly before it settled on her abdomen. Her face was flushed as she was biting her lips.
Daphne was looking outside the window trying to see her Father when it happened, a strange rush of heat emerged from her womb and spread throughout her body, her face flushed as she bit her lower lip trying not to moan. Her eyes looked into Rigel's only to see his dark eyes locked at her core.
It was as if she was naked in front of him, and as the storage pleasure she was feeling increased, she looked away from him and outside the window. Her eyes searched for any distractions as her hand grabbed her dress and pulled it down. As soon as she looked away from him her body calmed down and she breathed a sigh of relief, she looked at him from the corner of her eyes to see he was not looking at her anymore.
'What was that, did he use some obscure spell on me?' Daphne thought she could still feel her core throb of need which was a clear indication that she was under a lust spell or something.
'But I didn't see him pull out a wand or even cast a spell?' Daphne frowned, she didn't want to accuse him of anything but she held her guard up.
'There were rumors that the Malfoy family spread that he was a descendant of the Gaunts. Those are an old family but I don't know if they had some spell like that or not.' Daphne thought, her mind running through ideas into trying to make sense of what she felt.
...
Rigel on the other hand frowned, while the magic had faded, he could sense the marking on Daphne's abdomen as it pulsed with her mana. The mark had become indistinguishable from her mana but as he saw it appear he could still see it was there.
'What is that supposed to do, influence her?' Rigel thought he looked at Daphne's flushed face before he turned to the second option. He had enough LP saved to go through all the objectives so did that mean that he could blaze through all these stages one by one?
Rigel tried to mentally click unlock on the second one but nothing happened, neither his LP decreased nor did something magical happen to Daphne. Whatever it was it clearly meant that he needed to complete the objective before he could consume LP to slowly corrupt Daphne.
He recognized that mark, there was a bunch of hentai made around the womb-shaped mark but he was not sure what it could do for now.
...
[Requirements!]
[1. Garner enough interest due to your magical exploits or your political prowess.] {Collect Reward}
[2. Gain control of the Black Family heirship, OR Have a discussion about any spell surpassing her knowledge on the given spell.]{Locked: LP needed- 200}
...
Rigel looked at the second objective and debated whether to try this now. It was tempting but he decided against it for now. Daphne was clearly aware that something unexpected happened to her, from her flushed face she felt the mark attach to her core which likely resulted in unexpected pleasure.
'It was quite unfortunate that the Domination system didn't work with muggles otherwise I would have more data.' Rigel thought he looked at the Collect Reward option and mentally clicked on it.

[Daphne Requirement 1 met]
[+1% affinity to Potions]
...
Rigel shook slightly as he looked outside the window. Plenty of parents were roaming outside talking in groups while his peers chatted about their holiday. His gaze though was focused on the reward that he got.
'I got a +1% affinity to Potions!!... Affinity tab!' Rigel thought and a new window appeared in front of him. No matter how many spells he practiced this window hadn't moved all summer but just now it changed.
...
[Affinities]

...
He went through the list one more time and then closed it. Rigel leaned back against the sofa and closed his eyes.
'This changes nothing, yet it changes everything...'

...
The train started with a jerk causing Rigel to open his eyes, he was a bit tired after yesterday and he didn't get a good night's sleep because of all the excitement. He looked at Tracy who was sitting next to Daphne as they both whispered something.
Seeing him shift must have caught their attention as Daphne nudged Tracy who blushed and sat up straight.
"Well, since we are going to spend some time together we should get acquainted, I'll start. My name is Rigel Black, I have recently been reacquainted with the Magical world so I'm a little behind on customs. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong at any point. My hobbies are, well I liked playing a muggle sport but that does not have any relevance anymore. I love exploring magic and I'm looking forward to what kind of sport the Wizarding World has to offer." Rigel finished as he flashed both girls a smile.
Daphne's stoic look softened just a touch as she nodded toward him, while Tracy's eyes flashed at the mention of the muggle sport so he added the last part. While Tracy was beautiful, he was more focused on Daphne right now, and showing too much attention toward her friend might hurt him so he focused on the blond princess.
"It is a pleasure to get to know you heir Black. My name is Daphne Aquila Greengrass, heir apparent to the Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Greengrass. I wouldn't mind guiding you in the basics of Wizarding customs. My hobby is exploring runic schemes and Ritual Magic and I'm looking forward to what the Library of Hogwarts has to offer..."
