26. The old witch is back

When Alexander reached the forest of Albania the first thing he did was to locate Edward. He looked around for hours but couldn't find him. The deeper into the forest he went the more silent it became. Not even mosquitos made sound.

He constantly felt like he was being watched and equipped himself for battle with a nice dragonhide suit. It had very high resistance to magical attacks and also physical attacks. Then he took out his magic assault rifle.

Increasing his flying speed he kept on going towards the center of the forest. There were no animals in sight for as far as he could see.

Suddenly his senses tingled and he dodged to his left. In retaliation, he quickly fired his assault rifle. 10s of bullets left the barrel in a matter of seconds. He looked at what attacked him, it was a tree-like the whomping willow at Hogwarts. Though it is dead now. His assault rifle was too powerful. Enhanced with magic, every bullet left a hole in the trunk of the tree, each being 30 centimeters wide. He wanted to test the shotgun and rocket launcher now.

Seeing that there was nothing else that attacked him, he headed forward. After another hour he finally reached a crumbling castle. It was in ruins but he could still sense many strong wards protecting it.

Being confident in his abilities he approached the castle and forcefully destroyed the wards. Then he opened the rotting wooden door.

"WHO DARES TO TRESPASS"

An angry female voice resounded. It was quite powerful. Then out of nowhere a big ball of fire fell from the sky on Alexander.

Alexander just used a defensive charm to fight if of but...

...

5 seconds later.

"WHAT THE HELL. What happened, where am I?" he shouted.

He remembered that he tried to fight back the fireball but then he lost consciousness.

"Did I die? But how? I thought Dumbledore was the strongest in this world and I am stronger than him. Who can be stronger than me now?" He annoyingly questioned.

~I remember god's words now. I may be unkillable but I am not invincible. I guess I got a bit arrogant. I should focus on saving Edward bow~

He once again took to the sky and headed to the big castle. This time he prepared himself.

The moment he reached the castle he fired full power destructive charms. Bombarda Maxima, fiendfire, protege maxima.

The charms did have a destructive effect. The walls of the castle crumbled to the ground leaving just the inner structure standing. Finally, he saw the woman. An old middle-aged woman was sitting on a big sofa and in front of her was the frozen body of Edward. There was also a snake near Edward's body which was also frozen.

"YOU... HOW ARE YOU STILL ALIVE?" the woman shouted in surprise.

"Hahaha... I am very strong, woman. Now release both of them or I'll..."

"How dare you threaten me. Me, the great Morgan Le Fay. I will destroy you"

She pointed her wand and sent some red light at him. It was not a spell but pure materialized magic. Alexander did the same with his hand. His spell made blue light.

They both collided and made a colorful yet destructive mess.

~Damn, she's quite strong. I don't think I can hold her for very long. She's still increasing her power,~ Alexander mumbled.

"Haha... Good... Good... You are the only person after Merlin who is able to make me use so much power but, if you think this is my limit then you are mistaken" she increased the magic and slowly started to push back Alexander.

Alexander saw that he could not defeat her so he thought of a way to leave with Edward and probably Nagini.

He was pretty sure that his newly created mind arts were something no one knew. He used them on the witch. He couldn't penetrate into her mind but it did shock her for a second. That's all he needed. He apparated to their frozen bodies and apparated back to his office in Galaxy tower with them.

He also left a present for Morgan. It was a magic grenade.

Morgan le Fay was shocked when the small ball that blew up and destroyed her entire castle and the jungle in 50 meters radius. As soon as the smoke settled she found a note.

"I'll be back"

"Let's see who kills whom" she scoffed and went back to remake her castle.

Meanwhile back at the galaxy tower, Alexander fixed Edward and Nagini.

"Thank you, professor, I thought I would never see the world again." Edward weakly said.

"What happened there and where did you find the snake?"

"I followed the snake to that castle but the witch living there was too strong. I tried so hard but..." Edward felt disappointed with himself.

"It's alright buddy, even I wasn't able to do anything to her. It's crazy knowing that there is someone out there even stronger than me but considering that she is the thousand-year-old witch from Merlin's time, it's not really surprising. She's probably a Supreme magus but I was able to fight for a while which would mean that she hasn't reached her full potential," Alexander said.

"What are we gonna do now? If you cannot stop her then who can?" Edward questioned.

"I'll get back to research. I'll try to get stronger as much as I can. She hasn't attacked the world yet so let's just hope that what we did does not change her mind. In the meantime I want you to pour all your sweat and blood into training. You must reach the level of the Grand Arch Magi. Teach Hermione with yourself. She needs to reach at least Arch magi level." Alexander ordered.

Edward nodded and then looked at the snake.

"What are you going to do with it?" He asked.

"I'll remove her Maledictus and let her live a normal life. Maybe she can teach you a thing or two."

Then Alexander approached Nagini. She looked scared.

"Can you understand me?" He asked using his mind talking skill.

Nagini nodded her snakehead.

"Good, I can remove the blood curse from you permanently. You will be able to turn back to human and live normally. Will you allow me to do it?"

The snake excitedly nodded her head.

"Okay then, drink this. This is an elixir. It has amazing healing abilities." he put a saucer filled with the potion. It was not just some elixir from the stone. There were hundreds of other things in it.

She slowly drank it whole and then waited. She could feel something happening to her but couldn't pinpoint it.

"Haha... It'll take some time for effects to show up, girl" he said and patted her snakehead. She didn't like it at first but the warmth of kindness coming from him made her enjoy it. It had been so many years since someone showed her true kindness.

After about 3 hours Nagini's transformation into a human was completed. Though she was sleeping the whole time. Alexander put a warm blanket on her and left some clothes nearby for her.

He went back to researching the philosopher's stone. It was really an amazing thing but finding out how it was made was really hard and for that he decided to pay a visit to Nicolas. Only he could answer his questions.

...

Next morning,

Nagini got up from her bed with sleepy eyes. She looked around and found out she was alone. Without thinking much she rubbed her eyes... It took a few seconds before she realized that she had arms and legs. Once again a human.

An excited scream left her mouth as she ran to a mirror to see herself. Her jaw dropped looking at the girl in the mirror. Pretty face, long black hair and a well defined beautiful curvy body. Her gaze checked out the body from head to toe.

Soon she realized that she was naked and embarrassingly put on clothes near the bed. They were all black, well, most of it. The pants were made of very comfortable black leather. Then a dark grey shirt and a dark black leather long coat with dragon scales like top layer. The coat was so well designed it complimented her figure. Then there were black long-boots. The clothes were made so that they fitted themselves to the size of the wearer.

She went back to the mirror to see how she looked in the dress. Satisfied was an understatement for her current mood. She was so happy. She didn't even know that she could look this pretty. After all, most of her life was spent in the circus and then on the run after permanently turning into a snake.

She quickly shook her head to throw away all those bad feelings. It was a new chance for her. She then combed her hair and styled them a bit. Her hair was deep black, long and silky, so she let them stay loose with front fringes. Being satisfied with herself, she decided to go out.

"Oh no... I don't even know that sir's name." She rushed out.

In the hall, Alexander was working beside his portable workbench.

"Sir..." A sweet sound came from behind. He turned around.

He looked at her for a few seconds before collecting himself. She looked very beautiful. Her face was somewhat of a mixture of an Asian and European but with Asian genes being more dominant.

"Haha... How do you like the dress?"

"I love it, sir. Thank you for saving me." She bowed.

"It's nothing, by the way, my name is Alexander Maxim Universe, you can call me professor as I was a professor at Hogwarts for a while. I am the current minister of magic of the British wizarding world." He introduced himself.

"Thank you, professor. If you hadn't come then I don't know what would have happened to me," she said.

"Ah stop thanking me now. I am happy I could help. By the way, how did you end up in Albania?" He asked.

"Well, I was running away from that noseless man. He had nearly caught me but that witch saved me. I thought she would help me but instead, she tried to do experiments on me." she shuddered thinking about that.

"No need to be afraid now. That snake man wanted to make you his Horcrux but I have already killed him. The witch in the forest will also be dealt with soon enough. The Ministry is also going to pass a law soon which will give intelligent non-human species the same rights as any other human. You should just enjoy your life. You can live here as long as you want, there are too many rooms." He said and also threw a money pouch at her. It had 10,000 gold galleons.

"I can also find you a normal job if you want but you should first get yourself accustomed to the surroundings."

"Yes, thank you" she bowed again.

Alexander nodded with a smile and went back to doing his research.

Thank you for reading. Alexander is going to receive a big boost in his powers soon and make a spectacular show/fight for the world to see.
