Ep. 9

'Now, how did I get in this situation?' I thought as I watched a tentacle wrap around my mother's leg. 'I'll have fucking takoyaki today!'

Want to know what happened? Let's go back a few hours, the day after I returned to London.

"Mother, prepare your luggage. We're going to explore some uninhabited islands."

"Oh! I should bring my swimming suit then! Give me a few minutes!" she said and darted out of the room. 'Swimming suit… Mother… This vacation is already worth it!' I thought.

With the help of magic, Mother finished packing quite easily, which surprised me. I was already thinking that it would take a couple of hours, but she finished in a little over half an hour. Oh well.

I used a spell I developed to get a 3D map of the whole globe. Basically, I was using magic as a sonar and the leylines as repeaters to map out the entire planet. I cross-referenced the map I created with a map I had bought a couple of years ago from a Muggle shop, plus one I got in Diagon Alley. I marked around five islands that were not on any map, then apparated there using Phoenix Fire. Ah, so convenient: Phoenixes do not have any distance limit and can bypass most, if not all, wards.

We found ourselves on a tropical island somewhere in the Bermuda Triangle. It was quite nice: white sand, beautiful trees, a coral reef not far from the shore, I couldn't find any sign of wizards or Muggles, and it sits quite near to a leyline. I can use this.

Mother was going crazy with how nice the place was, so I decided that we would claim this place. I casted a few wards and a Fidelius charm on the island and the leyline itself, so that no Muggle or wizard will be able to notice anything. Then, I cut down a few trees with magic and Transfigured them into a cozy bungalow. I will install a few Muggle commodities when I have the time: jacuzzi, tv, radio, a bar, refrigerator, and so on. For now, it will serve as a shelter for my suitcase.

Mother immediately went into the bungalow to get changed and came out with the sexiest bikini I have ever seen. And it wasn't just the bikini, Mother is just… Just wow. Veela or not Veela, she's smoking hot, even after having me. At a certain point, I am seriously doubting whether she is my real mother or not. Eh, I don't care.

I also changed into some trunks and we went for a swim. I checked if there were any jellyfish or similar annoying stuff with magic and we were safe. I made a mask for myself and checked the ecosystem a little. There were several tropical fish. Also, some dead little turtles. This island must have been a nesting spot or maybe they have just been transported by the current. I hope that it's the latter. There were plenty of corals and algae. They were healthy and there were no problems that would ruin my private island. I saw that my mother was swimming closer to the shore, so she was safe. I went to explore the surroundings, outside the reef. I found a node in the leyline, so I wanted to see what was there. I saw a fucking trench and I noped the fuck out of there. There is something that I have never told anyone and will never admit: I have thalassophobia. Maybe that is a little exaggerated, but I am fucking afraid of anything too deep. And this trench is fucking deep. While noping the fuck out, I sent a magic sonar in the trench and I saw that it was several kilometers deep, almost five kilometers. And on the bottom, there was a fucking Kraken. Yes, the giant octopus-thing. There is a little problem now: my sonar fucking woke it up. 'Shit. Fuck. Shitty-fuckity-fuck!'

I started shouting at my mother: "Get out of the water!" I then apparated back to the beach. "Mother! Get back here!"

"What? Why? The water is so nice here!" and I saw a tentacle wrap around her leg. She was hoisted up in the air and hung upside down while screaming. 'I'll have fucking takoyaki today!'

I 'Accio'-ed my spear and threw it against the tentacle. It penetrated easily, as expected of Gae Bolg, and split the tentacle. I transformed into fog and went to cushion Mother's fall. I grabbed her in bridal carry and apparated back to the shore.

"Stay here." I ordered her and 'Accio'-ed my spear again. I pointed my spear at the direction the tentacle came from and started using it as a pen in the air to write some runes. It was a phrase in ancient Celtic runic language, an incantation for permafrost creation united with homing properties and several enhancements. When I was done, the runes shined and wrapped around Gae Bolg. I then threw it to the sky and it shot out like a fucking missile.

I watched how my spear went straight down the trench and created a massive iceberg, which obviously killed the Kraken. I 'Accio'-ed my spear once again and casted a couple of cleaning spells, just to be sure.

"Mother, are you alright?" I asked once the threat was eliminated with extreme prejudice.

"Ye-yeah… I should have expected some magical creature to be here, but I was too focused on the beach and our vacation…"

"It's alright, we can continue as if nothing happened. Tonight, I'll cook some takoyaki for you. And if it turns out bad, we can just apparate to Japan and get some directly from the source."

"As if anything you do could turn out so bad. Come on, let's go for a swim together." she said softly.

Well, turns out cooking isn't really my thing, but the Japanese can make some great stuff with Kraken tentacles! Not only hentai!

So, I tried cooking the takoyaki, but I really didn't manage to do it, no matter what. It either was too raw or it was burnt. In the end, I gave up and apparated in Tokyo. I used a little bit of Legilimency on the people I found in the streets and got to a pretty nice stand that was selling take-out takoyaki. I gave the owner the tentacle, well a part of it, and he cooked some nice stuff for me and Mother. I brought it back to her on the island and we ate on the beach, next to a campfire. Ah, it was really relaxing, in particular with Mother patting my head… No, I'm not a dog, you're a dog.

The next day, I placed a Genjutsu on myself to make me appear older and went to buy some appliances and furniture for the bungalow. Unfortunately, I couldn't find what I wanted, so I resorted to using Subjective Reality and manifesting what I needed. I got a modern TV up-to-standard for 2020, a nice fridge, stove, oven, tables, chairs, couches, the jacuzzi, I got a 'swing couch' or whatever you want to call it, solar panels for electricity, along with a Magic Converter, which will convert ambient magic into electricity if needed, and a few other things. I set a few wards and enchantments to keep the air fresh and at a cool temperature, in contrast to the outside, also for security. I tapped into the leyline and transferred the node from the trench to the island, so now the flora should evolve into magical creatures. I might even get some unique species that aren't found in other places…

I scouted the surroundings to check that no new magical creature would suddenly pop up and ruin our vacation, then I dedicated myself to relaxing with Mother. I taught her how to use the more modern appliances and added them to the suitcase's sub-space. Ah, the TV was modified to broadcast the current channels. I can't wait for the modern ones to appear.

To be honest, I didn't really enjoy just lazing around, so I got some not-shady-at-all people in Knockturn Alley to gather some rare plants and potion ingredients so that I could start building up some reserves. I also went through the more conventional routes and gathered many, many materials and plants. I planted all of my new things in the botanical garden inside the suitcase. I also tried to get my grubby hands on some Dragon eggs, but they are way too illegal to obtain. I will have to wait until Quirrelmort hands over the Dragon egg to Hagrid. Only three more years until that happens… How boring. Couldn't I just steal the Basilisk myself? Well, I could, but I really want an egg, so that I can make the Basilisk my Blood Familiar. What is a Blood Familiar you ask? Well, I learnt about it in one of Hecate's research papers that are included in the grimoire: Vampires can give their blood to people and magical creatures to make them their familiars. However, it doesn't work on unwilling targets or those stronger than me.

Hm… I should use Subjective Reality… And so I did, I created a couple of eggs with some particular creatures in it. First of all, I made a Basilisk egg, an Amphiptere egg, a Quetzalcoatl egg, an Occamy egg, and a couple of Oriental Dragons: a Tianlong, a Huanglong, and a Fucanglong. Pretty much they will be the same, but have different natures and powers, at least according to what I have read in the two grimoires I have. I also got two Phoenix eggs for me and Mother. I already transformed all the creatures into Blood Familiars, so they will gain some Vampiric characteristics and also obey my every order. I might just throw all of my Dragons at Voldemort to see what he does. I can always revive them or turn their death into 'fiction' with Subjective Reality.

Since I was in the mood, I made a treasury into the suitcase and placed a lot of Magic Stones and Philosopher's Stones inside. I also filled it with gold, silver, platinum, titanium, tungsten, iridium, and other metals that can either be useful or a good source of money in the future. I also added an exposition area for some jewels I will give to Mother.

What am I missing? Ah, yes! An armory and a library! I have no intention of just giving out weapons and armor for free or to anyone, but it's always good to have some 'spice' in store. I manifested all the weapons from Fate that I could remember since, objectively, weaponized Noble Phantasms are OP, no matter what. Fucking Excalibur can destroy a flesh monster in one hit, so don't at me. I made some armor from the various Heroic Spirits, and I got an inspiration: if I added Boggart essence to my shake and I got a shapeshifting ability, what would I gain if I added Heroic Spirit essence? Further experimentation is required.

And so, Summer break ended.
