"I feel I should be saying that. This is spectacular work," she told me as she held the wand up to her eye to inspect.
"So, does that mean we have a deal?" I said putting out my hand.
She looked between my hand and the wands before finally taking it, "We have a deal. I will give you the cloak later tonight."
"Perfect," I agreed, handing her the box, "And I can start teaching you, once you finish reading that book."
"Glad you didn't forget our original deal."
"Just don't come to regret it later."

Third Floor:-
The days leading up to the exams were filled with last minute cramming sessions and desperate pleas to borrow notes. I'd been approached more than once by such desperate individuals, and every time would say the same thing, "I lent them to Daphne Greengrass." That was usually enough to get them to stop bothering me.
If I knew the blonde witch, she was most likely making copies and selling them at an astronomical price. Not like I really cared as I was far too busy with my own schemes.
After having Hermes deliver Daphne's invisibility cloak to Harry's room in the middle of the night, I dedicated most of my time to my various pet projects.
After studying the properties of Dragon Iron, I had made some outstanding breakthroughs. The first and most important was the creation of my magic generator.
Using what I learned about wand crafting I was able to build a better version; whose sole purpose was to collect the surrounding magic and store it for later use. I had five of these generators in the Room of Requirements, probably the most magically abundant place in the entire school.
With the addition of the generators I could finally start to expand my doll army. As one could guess, the Mechanical Spiders were the first to get upgraded due to their overall usefulness.
Currently I had them collecting harvesting materials in the [Plant Dungeon] along with Hermes and Jack, my sole remaining mobster doll. The best part was that any monster they killed would give me loot and experience, so I would be leveling up without doing anything.
On a lesser note, I was finally able to figure out how to make the two-way mirrors receive calls from other mirrors. The way it worked was that each mirror was installed with a special 'microchip' made out of Dragon Iron that would act as their calling number.
If you wanted to call them, you just needed to write the number of the corresponding mirror on your own screen and you would be connected in seconds.
Once I learned how to get them to store music and take pictures, I could start to market them and sell them to the populace.
So again, one could say I was fairly busy these days. Though that didn't mean I couldn't make time to just relax. Afterall one has to enjoy life's simple pleasures too.
Whine. Whine. Whine.
"Aw, who's a good boy~" I cooed as I scratched the middle head's neck, getting a happy purr that shook my entire body. The two other heads nudged me with their wet cold noses wanting some of my attention too.
[Increased Affection with Fluffy.]
"Thanks again for letting me help you feed him, Hagrid," I said looking back to see the half-giant bringing in the last of the barrels filled with raw meat.
"Just make sure not to tell anyone, students aren't supposed to know about Fluffy," he warned before staggering over to the side where a large wooden basin was located.
I gave the three heads a pat before walking over to one of the barrels, "Here, let me help."
"No. There's no nee-" he started before stopping when he saw me lift the 200-pound barrel over my head, "Ahem. Just set it over here, I guess. You're pretty strong Charles."
"I get that a lot," I shrugged as I walked over and placed it on the place he had indicated. Truthfully, I could lift a maximum of around 1400 pounds and carry 200 pounds comfortably without getting tired.
Fluffy wasted no time to devour the large tub of meat, bones and all, making me all the more eager to have it as my pet.
Taking a seat on an empty barrel I turned to Hagrid, "I'm still amazed how you managed to tame him so well. Was it difficult?"
"Not at all, he's always been rather well behaved. Then again, I did get him as a pup," Hagrid said, scratching his beard in thought, "But it really was no different than training any other animal."
"(Sigh) I wish I could do that, tame magical creatures," I lamented.
Hagrid clasped me on the back reassuringly, "Oh I'd say you're pretty close already. Pandora seemed to have been rather fond of you."
Smiling, I turned to look up at him, "I do kind of miss her."
The half-giant gained a sad but fond smile, "I do too. Hope she's doing alright."
"She's probably the leader of her own pack by now," I declared, getting a chuckle from the large man. "Remember that time when she snuck out of the hut and ended up fighting that family of ferrets."
"Hahaha, I remember. We found her covered in dirt chewing the leg of one of them," he said with a chuckle.
A comfortable silence descended on us as we watched Fluffy finish eat the food.
"So, is it true that detention will be in the Forbidden Forest tonight?" I asked casually, as if I was asking for the weather.
He turned sharply to look at me. "Where'd you hear that from?"
"I overheard Filtch mumbling it to his cat," I started with a shrug, "Is it true? I thought students weren't allowed in there, hens the name forbidden."
Hagrid gave a sigh, "Well no point hiding it if you already know."
"Can I ask why?"
