Survival of the Fittest and Nagini

After two weeks, even the dark lord was getting nervous. He was wondering if he should stop and restart the experiment. Normally his victims did not last half a day before exploring into blood and gore. However, it's been a week and 47 was still alive but still unconscious, he speculated that the reason was because the absorption rate he adjusted was only a 10th of what it was for his previous subjects, but still the process should have ended in five days.

He could not observe what was going inside 47's body because all the turbulent magic fluctuations that was going on. So, all he could do was wait patiently. After another two weeks passed, the materials in the other tanks were more than half empty. He ordered his followers to keep an eye on the tanks and restock them whenever it was at 25%. 47 would wake up from time to time only to scream until he fell unconscious.

Five more months passed, and the dark lord visited the underground site and asked, "Synde is there still no progress?"

"No, my lord, we have been restocking from the supplies given by Malfoy but the process still continues," replied the death eater.

"Continue, I believe the experiment will be successful this time. I cannot stay longer, Wormtail has been found and has given the location of the Potters, I will come check when__" before he finished, his eye shrank into pin drops and shouted, "Apparate out!" He then left without waiting for his followers, the death eaters present did not wait for something to happen and immediately apparated themselves out of the site.

The tank that 47 was in exploded, flames, blood and gore spattering everywhere. The entire underground room shook intensely. Half a day later, Voldemort and his followers apparated back in, after observing the site for a while he muttered to himself, "Another failed experiment, there is not a single trace of 47 left." Then he said to his followers, "we will start a new experiment after I deal with the Potters, you will clean this place after matters with Potters are dealt with."

" " "As you wish, my lord." " "

Even after few hours passed, the flames continued to burn and incinerated everything in sight, when there was no more material to burn, the flames started to gather into a ball of pure white light. The ball of white light slowly expanded as more and more flames were absorbed into it. After it expanded in a size of a small car, it disappeared, in its place was a body of a fully developed and unconscious man. It was Kenneth, however, there was no trace of the Bones family features left on him. The Bones family, although different shade, were all had brown hair except for his uncle's wife and his cousin, Susan, who had blond hair and they all had light skin, but overall, when it came to looks, they had nothing that stood out from the crowd. Kenneth who was laying on the ground had sun tanned skin and long deep black hair with an unnoticeable dark navy-blue taint to it, if you looked closely, although it was not obvious, his ears was a slightly pointed. His eyes were half closed but you could see that his iris was silver with black rim around it. The most obvious change was the on him forehead there was a silver mark in the shape of a morning star, glowing. The mark slowly disappeared as time passed by. If the look Kenneth had before can me compared to a normal human, then now, he can be described as devilishly good looking. Even though everything in the surrounding looked calm, the magic in the atmosphere was turbulent, it was flowing in the direction of Kenneth and being devoured by him as though it had been starving for years.

Kenneth opened his eyes only to find himself standing in a world with a red tainted sky, the rest of the world, like the trees, grass and flowers, had colour even though they were dulled and greyed out. He instantly knew that where ever he was, it was not the real world. He had a fully developed body; however, his body was entirely made of some white/silver-ish substance, not liquid, solid nor gas. It was slightly transparent. The first thought that Kenneth though was, "am I a ghost?" as ghosts were common in the wizarding world.

Kenneth looked up as he heard roaring noise coming from the sky. There were two dot that was rapidly becoming bigger, when they were close enough, Kenneth saw that they were actually dragons, who were fighting while falling at an incredible speed. The weird thing was that these dragons was just like him, made of the same silver substance. Both dragons crashed into the ground with a very loud sound and stopped moving altogether. Later the bodies of the dragons turned into motes of silver light and were absorbed by the ground. The instant they were absorbed the ground, Kenneth felt his own silver-ish body become more solid and stronger.

"No matter what is going on, it seems that my role is to survive this place, the longer I survive the stronger this body will grow," Kenneth thought to himself. Although he was a bit scared, he started jogging towards the nearest woods, he was close to a water source, so he was going to take cover and wait and observe for a while before determining if he even had to eat and drink in this place. After few hours passed, he was not hungry or thirsty, but his body continued to grow stronger and more solid. He made a few speculations.

"If my guess is right, from everything I have seen from the lab, Voldemort was trying to create some sort of a creature, either to help him or use it to grow stronger himself. One of the tanks in Voldemort's lab had white glowing orbs floating about, if it is what I think it is, then they are the souls he had collected, at least that's what the souls looked like when Sirius Black was about to be kissed by the dementor. As for this world, it must be inside my body, probably inside my head and all the souls are having a battle to dominate and take control of this place, but since the body originally belonged to me, I am growing stronger as the time passes, at least my soul is growing stronger as other souls die in here," Kenneth concluded. He then performed some basic shadow boxing moves and determined that his "soul" body was currently stronger than a peak athlete in his previous life.

He was hiding himself on top is a tree when he was discovered by a large wolf, its head was in the size of a horse head. He started dashing through the forest to get away from it, after a while, he realised that the wolf was adamant about killing him he turned around to fight it. Observed the creature and waited for it to make the first move. The moment the wolf lashed out at an incredible speed; Kenneth took a side step while bending his upper body to dodge the attack. The moment the wolf's head passed him, he grabbed it neck into a lock with both his arms trying to suffocate the creature. Soon he realised that you not only did not need food or water, you also did not need to breath in this world. So, he grabbed the upper jaw of the wolf and with difficulty, place a foot onto its lower jaw and used all his strength to separate the upper and lower jaw. After killing the creature, Kenneth quickly changed his location and went back into hiding.

Meanwhile, in the underground experimental site, a large snake slithered into the room Kenneth was at. It looked around and paused when it noticed the naked human being laying in the middle of it. Then it slowly transformed into a woman of mid-20s, she had thick, long black hair that dripped down to her upper waist and pale and sickly skin, slightly slanted dark brown eyes that indicated she was of southern Asian decent which added charm to her beauty. she then approached the man, doing her best not to look at his exposed manhood. After observing that the man was still alive, she took off her outer robe and covered the man. She shook him to wake him up, however, when her hand touched him, white and black flames burst from his body, engulfing the whole women. The witch screamed and tried to put the fire out with magic but failed. Turning back into a snake was useless as well, she was still on fire.

"I just wanted to help, and now I'm dying? You should have minded your own business, Nagini. Maybe this is better, it's not like my fate way any better before," Nagini muttered as he accepted her fate.

After what seemed like an eternity to her, which was a single day, she realised what was happening to her. The black flames were painfully breaking her body down, while the white flame was reconstructing it. As time passed by, the black flame died down and the white flame remained. On the third day, her body went through a massive change, her snake form started to grow. When the reconstruction stopped, her snake head was the size of a double decker bus and her body, dark purple in colour, was at least 70 meters long, she was larger than the largest known adult snake type creature, the basilisk. Weirdly, the walls did not block her body as it went right through the wall as though there was no walls to begin with. There was a silvery rune hovering over her chest area, a rune that let her have an innate and intimate connection with space. On her head was another notable symbol, the same symbol that Kenneth had on his forehead, a morning star.

Nagini turned back into a woman, her beauty had jumped up a level as her skin no longer looked sickly, but vibrant and lively. She stared at the man lying on the ground, through her mark on her forehead she felt an inexplainable and intimate connection to him. Through her connection she knew he would not wake up for now, then she noticed that she herself was completely naked. Blushing, she grabbed the outer robe she put on Kenneth and wore it herself. Then she bent down next to him and touched his face gently as though she had known him for years and said, "I need to go buy some things, I'll be back."

After turning to take a look at him one more time, she left the underground lab.
