The work on their main project progressed slowly but surely. Konrad estimated that it would be completed somewhere at the end of this school year. Their research over the super version of the elixir of life brought a few interesting information.
One. Their bodies got a natural regeneration that Konrad just had to call Wolverine regeneration because it was just that OP! He wasn't sure about regenerating cut Limbs or bullets in the brain but who knows? They also confirmed that the regeneration depended on how much magic power they possessed yet it would still work even with them having no magic at all yet much much slower. Any impurities In their body would be Instantly healed and cleaned, leaving their bodies extremely healthy in the process. Konrad also realized after two weeks of no sleep that, Yes, He didn't need to sleep as long as he had magic inside of him. The exhaustion would be simply healed just like all the impurities etc.
But the greatest discovery was probably the fact that their cells basically stopped ageing! They could die if they were wounded but they would be simply purified and replaced with fresh new cells, while normally any old cell would be healed back into fresh cell. It meant one very important thing.
THEY WERE FREAKING IMMORTAL!!!
At least, theoretically speaking. They didn't know if their bodies could become older looking, outside of their transformation magic now. But Konrad didn't care. He was actually quiet happy that in a few years they would be adults yet everyone would still look around Thirteen...twelve in case of Cristal and Ruby. His cute little girlfriends would stay cute and petite forever, and he had nothing against it!
Konrad was having a dreamy expression imagining infinity with his girls always as beautiful as ever when suddenly the sound of a Crimson Rune hitting the ground woke him up from his daydreaming.
"Konrad? Are you alright?"Asked Luna from the side, where she worked on her own part of the big formation.
"What?! No...I ahhh I just dropped it accidentally." He said with a blush.
Luna seeing his red check had a smirk on her face.
"You know Daydreaming about my forever petite body isn't something you should do while working on magical formations." She said jokingly with a hint of lust in her voice.
"How did you...I mean...I-I didn't think about it."He said but he already betrayed himself, which Luna easily catched.
"Well then...Maybe we need a little break hmmm?"She said getting closer to Konrad with a blush."You seem to need a little... relaxation ehehe" she said slowly kissing him on the face and going lower.
Konrad walked out of the basement a much happier wizard.
In another part of the Mansion Two reptile girls felt that their Daddy and Mommy again did something new without them!
-------------
Soon enough came the day before the Weighing of the Wands and oh boy Konrad wondered what he should do. At first he leaned onto Confunding Olivander into believing that his fake wand was the same one he gave him but decided that it wouldn't be right towards the old man whose friends heart used to be inside of it. So he decided to visit him today in secret together with Phoebe.
After Konrad mentioned his wand, Garrick easily agreed to an unbreakable wove to not indulge information about what he is about to show him. Suffice to say, when the old wandmaker saw Phoebe he burst into tears harder than when when he sold Konrad his wand.
The Wand Weighing the next day went without problems after that. His interview with Skiter went awesome, after a small threat about squashing bugs from Hermione that insisted to join him. The Corrupted Reporter was sufficiently scarred and then offered a nice sun of money to always show them and their friends in good light. The greedy woman jumped on the occasion and the group got themselves a way to shape the public eye amo g wizards.
A week passed since then, when Hagrid showed Konrad the dragons for the first task. They were pretty impressive but not as much as Ruby in her full sized dragon form. She was already a giant compared to the dragons
here which Konrad speculated had something to do with her highly magical diet and her great magic power.
It was only three days now from the First task and Konrad wondered what he should do with his dragon. Then an idea struck him and there was a grin on his face.
---------------
"Welcome to the first task of the Triwizard Tournament!!!!" could be heard all over the arena. Everyone cheered and listened to the speaker as he announced the rules and the first contender.
Cedric got through the task somewhat easily even though he looked as if he was about to pass out. He probably might have if Konrad didn't warn him. Fleur tried to put her dragon to sleep and got slightly burned, and Krum idiotically caused the destruction of the eggs yet still got the golden egg...Well at least that's how it looked like, because an invisible snake snatched the, about to be broken, eggs before that happened and took them back to the Lab.
Finally it was Konrad's turn and the biggest most scarry dragon was brought to the arena. The Hungarian Horntail was big and deadly looking, covered in spikes and ready to kill everyone that stood in its way.
Konrad walked through the entrance to the arena and looked at the dragon, but where people expected a scarred boy, Konrad stood proudly and looked excited instead.
The dragon looked bad at him, huffed smoke and was about to burn him with his flame when suddenly he heard a voice, In the dragon language nonetheless.
§"Cease your flame you fool! You stand in front of the strongest wizard in the world! He could wipe you out with a flick of his finger, but fret not for he's a benevolent and forgiving person that I proudly call my Daddy and my Lover!"§ Was the voice that came from the little dragon on Konrad's shoulder.
Konrad actually understood everything. An effect of a little side project he did with Ruby to Talk with dragons uneducated in parseltongue.
§Huh? A little hatchling dares to instruct me? See how this elder teaches you manners!§ replied the dragon.
"§Manners? Elder? Why you seem to be under a misconception that you are the strongest here. Let me teach you a lesson!"§ Replied Cristal.
She jumped onto the ground while Konrad send a mist over the entire arena hiding them from view. The center was still clear so Konrad and the two dragons could see eachother but they couldn't be see from the outside, and he put a bunch of barriers so they didn't know the extent of power used inside.
Ruby slowly walked towards the dragon slowly growing inside and talking towards him.
§"You dare teaching ME how a dragon should behave. Let me tell you something 'hatchling' You know nothing about how powerful a dragon can be!"§ She was almost the size of the Horntail now and the dragon seemed unnerved with her words. It sent a flame breath at her but to his shock his prided fire got extinguished in midair not touching the still growing dragon in front of him.
It wanted to attack with his tail but then a dragon flame appeared out of nowhere around Ruby and attacked the dragon wrapping him like a tight rope and pinned him to the ground. Ruby leisurely walked towards him now at least two times his size and put her claw on his mouth leaning closer to him.
§"Now who is a hatchling? Hatchling."§ She said mockingly.
§"Alright Ruby! That's enough. I think you scarred her enough already."§ Said Konrad from behind.
§"Alright!§ Daddy!" She said while transforming into her human form and hugging Konrad shocking the dragon even more.
It slowly stood up and looked at them and then bowed It's head.
§"This one a-apologises for insulting a dragon god!
I'm unworthy of being in your presence!"§
The two looked at eachother and Konrad asked.
§"Why did you call her a dragon god?"§
The dragon felt conflicted if he should answer this human even if it was surprising he even know their language, but one look at the girl beside him was enough to make him quickly answer.
"A dragon god is what dragons where I come from, call dragons from legends that possess the ability to wield his flame in any shape he so desires, controlling it with extreme precision and wielding magic that allows them to shape the world and themselves"§ He looked at Ruby. §"You look like Human yet I can clearly feel a dragon from you. However you look at it, you fit the description perfectly."§
There was no former superiority in Its voice. It behaved humbly and sounded a little scarred.
§"If-If I may ask...Why is a being of your level staying with this human?"§ The dragon asked.
Ruby looked at The Horntail and then at Konrad and grinned.
§"Why because Konrad is the most powerful wizard in the world and the person who taught me everything!"§ She said.
Konrad let out a bit of his power towards the dragon almost suffocating it with sheer power. When he stopped the dragon was lowering his head towards them aknowledgeing the superiority of the two beings in front of him. Ruby then went invisible and gave the dragon instructions follow.
The mist surrounding the arena disappeared and everyone saw the big scarry dragon
bowing in front of the youngest champion. Silence fell on the arena. Konrad walked to the dragon, patted it on its snout and took the golden egg. No sound could be heard other than Konrad footsteps as he left the arena without turning back. He didn't stay to hear the eruption of cheers among the spectators as he went to the hospital tent where two girls were already waiting for him. Konrad got hugged by both of them and barraged with questions that he answered.
"So you just used Ruby and you didn't have to do practically anything?" Asked Luna.
Konrad grinned.
"You just had to show of, didn't you?" Asked Hermione with a smirk.
"I have no idea what your talking about. Everything was hidden behind a mist." Konrad said with innocent expression.
"You know exactly what I mean, Honey. Really? patting a dragon after it became submissive in a mysterious circumstances? You're going to be the centre of attention for the next...few months knowing the wizarding world." Said Hermione.
Konrad looked at her and started patting the air above his left shoulder.
"And what's so special about patting a dragon?"He asked when a little Ruby materialized under his hand snugly. Everyone chuckled.
"So...where's Cristal?" Asked Luna.
"I'm here!" Shouted Cristal suddenly appearing beside them. "I took the eggs that were supposed to be broken, back to the Lab, and came back quickly to see Ruby's performance! You were great sis!" She said towards the little dragon.
Ruby jumped down from Konrad's shoulder and transformed into her human form.
"Thanks! You know! Mrs Horntail called me a dragon god! Isn't that awesome!"
The five of them chatted for a good while as the other people tried and failed to find them to announce the scoring. Madam Pomfrey was furious that the boy didn't go to check up with her even though he most definitely came inside the tent. 'How did I miss him?!' She thought.
