Wailing Cavern and a Fight (part 2).

Unlike what he thought about Dumbledore after reading books and watching films, the real man was a bit different. He wasn't that manipulative, but more like helpless in front of a prophesy. One can tell that inevitability of it defeated him even before the fight started. He was just trying to act in accordance to it to minimize collateral damage done.

However, no matter how smart and strong, Dumbledore was just one kindhearted old man with a bag of weight behind his back. He was alone and burdened. Maybe the only problem with him that Alan saw through interactions is his either inability or reluctance to take a firmer stance in some heartfelt matters and overly cautious nature.

That made Dumbledore not very reliable shield, but it all depends on the magnitude of a trouble.

'Okay, now to the real purpose I came here for.'

He connected his card of Gringotts to the black one and transferred some real load of money for establishment to treat him like a valuable customer and indeed, the moment he did, goblin looked at with with a greedy glint deep in his gaze.

'They really know how to procure information real time.'

Without further ado Alan took the quill and wrote several names.

Wilson Mane, Tedd Barns and John Buick.

Immediately a several lines of information that can be bought shined on the page. Starting from his places of birth and ending with last known locations, yesterday date fresh news. So much for running away, but with that Alan can be sure – Grey Broker is not working with the ministry, however everyone can buy knowledge here, so it not the best thing.

However the price tag was really spicy like hell even for Alan taste. Perhaps Ministry will go bankrupt if they use their service often.

'How are they doing it?'

It seems not only from witnesses and crowd, but also some surveillance magic involved.

'No matter, now I need a way to contact him. I need to teach all of them Isu knowledge as soon as possible.'

Than a thought hit him and Alan stood up from the table, taking a sphere with him.

"Mister Julius. I want to ask for a delivery to a certain people, do you, perhaps, have a way?"

"But of course. We have such service too, but Azkaban delivery will cost a little fortune. However I don't think it will be any issue for a young man of your stature, mister Salvatore." - Alan's eyes grew wide. They even can do that and it is merely a price issue. Way to go Ministry, looks like even their famed prison is full of holes.

'Hm... actually I can send some things not only to Third Uncle but Sirius Black too. But I need to encrypt them properly.'

And so Alan created five memory crystals. Four were full of Isu knowledge with letters he found the most appropriate for the people.

Especially he comprised them with a set of magical knowledge on how to apparate anywhere even in warded place and stay undetected. Also he added some non-Isu spells that can help with cloaking and a bit of thoughts of his own how to convert them.

Last part was special for every receiver.

For Selena he added several letters about fire magic, as she specialized on one.

For Tedd it was mainly magic that can help hide presence and even create clones. Ideal for escape if one needs it and covert operations he specialized in.

John Buick received a set of offensive spells of lightning attribute for a direct assault, and Wilson Mane got similar set to Selena, as Alan once saw when he was younger how he used to play with beautiful bluish fire.

As for Sirius Black – Alan didn't share Isu knowledge with him as he wasn't sure about his level of occlumency and his affiliation. He might be a good man, but what he didn't want is that knowledge reach Dumbledore. Maybe he won't trust old man much after the later sent him to prison, or maybe he will, Alan had no certainty to know his thoughts.

So he sent breathing method and a special rune that can help him remain unperturbed near dementors. It will directly enter his mind and remain there similar to object enchantment. But only if he wills it.

However that rune also done another thing. It can be detonated to wipe the person memory of him and anything related to him, all sent magic knowledge included. Albeit ruthless, Alan didn't want to take any chances, not after his awesome childhood. He learned his part. And if Sirius did anything to threaten him, he can directly remove the threat with a simple thought command.

The moment he tried to tell more than needed, he will receive due punishment. Of course Alan included a message into it, that will warn the man not to talk left and right.

Alan can't do everything by himself and give them a strait way of dominance, but believed in talent of Verga team aurors and their character.

Next came an issue of protection.

On that part he decided to go the most efficient way – use Eternal Mind. He created a layer of memories around the actual information. It was just his school days, nothing more. But after looking through them one can enter further. However, the entrance will appear only if auras of the people are identical to the encrypted ones. That made it absolutely safe, because forceful approach will destroy the crystals, they are that fragile after all.

The only issue was with Sirius Black, as Alan never met him in person, he has no idea about what his aura feels like, so Amal gave him a hint to use Vibe and Tenebris trace to let him scan for animage form. It actually can be done. He just took a little part of his soul out of himself, while gritting his teeth due to pain, and programmed it through Eternal Mind for the task, leaving it behind.

Unbeknown to himself, Alan performed the very action mages feared and thought of as insane – it was a sequence of creation of horcrux, albeit he didn't use dark rituals to chain his own soul to it and it to the world, neither he killed a person, as he can cut his soul without anything like it.

His Eternal Mind healed the wound and even made soul a tiny bit stronger, but Alan didn't notice.

"Done." - he whispered, wiping the sweat away. The whole process was very tedious and made him tired. - "For now it is all I can do for them. Gramps, time to leave."

'You did very well. Now I understand why Eternal Mind is feared and said to be a marvel.' - said Isu with some astonishment in the voice.

"Whatever. I'm tired for today." - Alan payed a hefty sum of galleons to organize the deliveries and Julius actually smirked at his broad connections to criminals. Some already in Azkaban, some received a reservation there.

The next month went in relative ease.

He visited Wailing Cavern several times, receiving news about Percival and several Death Eaters he remembered from books. They were his targets to take out in the future, but unlike pressuring matters of Verga team, those people will start to cause trouble only after several years and he can wait for Verga team to mature and only then remove them all without Ministry sniffing out the perpetrator.

He trained non-stop, all the time. Inside the space several more spells were brought to Isu standard, outside he only spent time on meditations and reading.

His mana level and energyform already matured to the state of 7th grade student, even his first Permission was already nearing. He can feel it. Something akin to premonition of a change and it will come before second year. Until he undergo his first baptism, Alan can't be considered a full fledged wizard, only the one in training. The difference between a wizard who only dabbled into art of magic and the one receiving Permission is tremendous not only because of level of knowledge and the fact that baptism will help to understand and learn many things that were still hard and puzzling before, but because of a profoundity of mana one can gain access to.

Thus Alan was eagerly waiting for that.

He was engrossed in learning until one day a sudden feeling of pain and fear assaulted him. At first he didn't understand where it came from. It was like a echo of emotions and feelings of another.

But when it happened again after a minute he froze, looked down in disbelief and finally felt very... very angry.

"They are tired of living!" - he growled like a frenzied dragon, concentrated and let himself being dragged through the apparate channel to the other side of two connected parts of a single piece of winged necklace.

It took him a second to find himself in night forest on uneven ground, surrounded by dense bushes and immediately he sensed her fear and helplessness. She was standing not far away, just couple of steps in front of him and gazing at the man in dark robes with a skull facial mask, who raised his wand.

Alan wasn't great duelist, but he was trained nearly all semester by his aunt everyday, so at least he had a certain level of experience in movement and charm combat, let alone he is the one who casts spells with just a thought.

'Good, you've done it now. Time to figure out how effective Isu war spells are on living target.'

He didn't wait or tried to talk, he directly went into Battle State. That was a thing he asked Amalgal help with – to develop a special enhancement on his mind, that will give him the most optimal mindset and perception abilities for battle. It was a derivative of his power to program the mind and proved to make him a really threatening opponent, as even the thought process went a notch faster in it, subjectively making time go slower in everything.

Alan's mind clicked into battle state, perception became clear and encompassed everything around him. Mercy and hesitation were pushed to the point of non-existence. Alan became as efficient and ruthless as a machine created to kill can be, exuding only coldness and crystallized rage.

Seeing the point of a wand began flickering with red luster, he dived forward, took Fleur and flung her to the side while the other hand released tremendous kinetic force with a speed of lightning. It slammed into the unsuspecting man, who didn't even see a wand in the hand of a kid and sent him flying away through the forest. Dark wizard hit a thick tree and residual force of a jade wind carrying him smashed the trunk open with a shockwave of broken wood and raised leaves with dirt.

Although a spell was meant to hurl the person away, Alan infused enough mana to thoroughly pulverize inner organs to dust and bones to pieces. There was no hesitation or remorse about what he has done. Eternal Mind only gave him emotionless fact of the threat elimination.

His trait went loose and emotions came back. Still he felt at peace and not even glanced at the dead Death Eater.

It surprised him a bit, but that was all.

He looked at the girl and made a step to approach her.
