Chapter Five - House Elves

Fighting mage style was harder than I had thought, I prefer a good clean fistfight, but here the rules change.

- "Bombarda!" - With that spell cast with my wand I exploded his head and half his torso - "4 down, 7 to go".

The good thing was that the wizards just stood there like statues when they fought, I on the other hand, was running and dodging back and forth while casting spells non-stop, then I came up with something quite useful and started creating a big black smoke wave all over the place.

Be careful!

The coward hides like a cockroach!

"Infrared sight straight out of predator" I thought amused as my eyes were bipedal and I could see them even in this dark cloud of smoke.

- "Serpensortia" - Another of the spells taught by my grandmother that I cast silently bringing out little snakes - "Attack" - I hissed in parseltongue.

Out of the cloud of smoke, those watching from afar saw how out the cloud of smoke shone the colors of the spells and the screams.

- "Avada Kedavra!" - Shouted one pointing in my direction and I dodged rolling on the floor.

- "Ossa fracta!" - I threw the spell at his leg and it shattered, which made him scream in pain -" I love this spell."

- "Sectumsepra" - Said one near me and when I realized I also cast the bone-breaking spell on his face killing him.

- "It hurts!" - I mentally screamed as I saw my left hand now missing part of my severed arm - "No more.... " - I muttered looking at my now painless severed arm, I went back to moving and continuing to kill the others quickly as my arm stopped bleeding and started to grow again - "That wasn't nice."

You bastard! Come out now and fight like a man!

- "Idiot, we have a big difference in what it means to fight like men... Avada Kedavra!" - I frowned and watched as my wand made the green glow, but didn't cast the spell - "Maybe more killing intent... Avada Kedavra!!!!" - I put a lot of magic and more killing intent into the spell and out came the green beam that hit the cheap ghoul and he fell dead to the ground - "And that's the last of it."

With a thought, I deactivated the infinity in the cloud of smoke and the magic stopped having an effect and the big dark cloud disappeared completely.

I snorted in amusement when I saw the bodies, some mangled and others were healthy but dead, full of small snakes that were still biting them. I don't know how to fight like a wizard, this sucks, though standing in one place like idiots is stupid and that's why they died easily.

I walked up to my severed arm and threw fire until it was completely charred.

- "Well, at least I proved that metamorphmagus can recover parts of their bodies" - I looked at my completely new hand and also saw how my clothes knitted themselves until the sleeve was complete.

- I thought that cutting spell was only known to Snape, shit it hurt at first...

"My consciousness made my body disable the pain receptors when I thought about removing the sensation"

Whatever, I better get out of here.

When I turned into an alley, Kreacher appeared at my call and we went home again.

I had killed 11 Death Eaters, though it was more a matter of intelligence and the fact that they seemed to trust their numbers, not to mention almost killing me several times, even if they were rookies was quite exhilarating.

I wasn't afraid of dying when I died in my other life I wasn't afraid of that either and I faced death, though this time it was more... fun, anyway, I was tired, I was hungry and I wanted to sleep.

.

Today was the 4th of September and I had just turned 7 years old, it had already been a year and several months since the battle I had with Death Eaters and it didn't stop because when I appeared in my Black Heart form, they tried to kill me for revenge, pride or to not look bad to the Death Eaters name. It wasn't constant, but they were annoying.

I decided to toughen up for now and train, I didn't go out anywhere and I ignored all kinds of letters that came to me, well, I ignored them after reading them in case there was something important. I also read the newspaper a lot, an international one, a neutral one, the prophet, and the fussy one to find out what was going on outside, but nothing relevant.

I also did a lot of studying, and although the knowledge I had from absorbing souls was a plus but I couldn't make sure that I didn't come up with something new or extra that these people hadn't read before.

The last three souls I took were those of a player about to die from the NBA, another baseball player in the same condition, and a physicist chemist from a university. But there were also many others, my goal was to collect skills and knowledge, the problem was that my body supported a soul fused every so long, not to mention that many of the skills obtained would be waiting to be used as it is not that I can do much with 7 years, not to mention that I did not have the physique or muscle memory even if I had the knowledge and sporting talents.

Moving on, I had already sent Kreacher a new request. On the first of September, he had sent a letter to the minister telling him that I wanted to buy 3 young house elves who didn't have a master so far.

In reply, I got a confirmation from the clerk in charge of that section and he sent me the price. I sent him a letter that on the 4th of September my house elf, Kreacher, would come to collect them with the three thousand galleons, and also sent him a warning that if he found out that they were not worth a thousand each, then he should remember that he would become an eternal enemy of House Black. It was then that I got the reply that they were worth a thousand galleons each and that he wouldn't dare cheat me in any way.

Although three thousand galleons were nothing, I was surprised that a house elf was worth a thousand each. That explained why only the upper classes had elves in their families, but with that aside, I knew the value of house elves, and I wasn't talking about money, but their value as a usable resource.

I had plans for the use of house elves. I also planned to have a lot of them as they were really valuable. It was really silly to think of them only as slaves, and even sillier were the masters who thought of them as merely floor sweepers, cooks, washers, and polishers of useless jewelry.

There was also the fact that they were loyal, well, while there was a small variable, which was the fact that if they were really bad masters there would be the problem of Doby, the traitorous House Elf Malfoy, they were very loyal after all and would not betray you, for example, Kreacher, I knew there was no one more loyal to me than Kreacher.

- "Kreacher has returned, Master Black. I brought the new house elves here," - He said grumpily as he felt his workload would decrease now that there were more house elves, after all, they lived to work for their masters, and the fact that there were three more, bothered him, but not that he was going to say it.

- "Perfect, good job Kreacher," - I said and he felt great pride growing in his chest as he heard the praise - "And now"

I looked at the three new house elves.

They had almost similar appearances, they all looked very young too. When they noticed that I was staring at them, they became quiet as they were nervous and shy.

- "I have questions to ask you so I hope you will answer me honestly," - I said and they quickly nodded, - "If I become your master, will you swear eternal loyalty to me?"

- "Yes! Yes, Master! We will!" - The three of them began to nod quickly.

- Are you sure, even if I decide to torture you with crucifixes or cut off your ears with a knife because I decide to do it?

- "Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes...!" - They felt a great fear when I threatened them with torture, but they still nodded quickly - "It doesn't matter if the master tortures me or beats me, I will be loyal to the master" - The three began to say and swear loyalty many times over.

- "Yes, because I heard that a house elf betrayed his master by running away from home and talking to the enemy, what's to stop you from going to the minister and telling things about me or other enemies?" - When I said that, the three of them began to cry and exclaim that they would never do such a thing, they even swore they would maim or kill themselves before they would think of betraying their first master.

- "Okay, okay, I believe you, stop it now" - I stopped them as I saw how the three of them almost went out of control. No doubt they were fickle, but I could tell they wouldn't really betray me, or so I hoped. - "Good. Now I want to know if you will obey every one of my orders, will you?"

- "Yes master! We will do it without hesitation! huh huh!" - They all nodded.

- "And if I order you to kill me, will you do it?" - Now they were speechless, they didn't know how to answer that.

They would obey their master to their death, but if he ordered them to kill him, that was impossible!

- "NO!!!" - They exclaimed and denied - "We would never harm the master, never, we would never hurt you!"

- "Hmm. Ok, but still, you have to promise me one thing and one thing only, no matter if you don't want to, are you listening to me,"

They nodded and I went on, - "Kreacher already knows and promised to do it, so this time you will do it or I won't be your master. If an enemy captures me and takes me with a kidnapping attempt if you can't kill him or save me, then you have to kill me without blinking, understood, I SAID DO YOU UNDERSTAND!!! I WILL NOT BE YOUR MASTER IF YOU DO NOT PROMISE AND I WILL KEEP YOU HERE UNTIL YOU STARVE TO DEATH!!!!" - I approached menacingly using my terrifying face causing them to panic and start crying.

They nodded very fearfully, they didn't want to, but they didn't want to be left without any master, they would die painfully of hunger and that was horrible for their species, suffering from hunger and unsatisfied anxiety would be their hell, they would rather be tortured with a crucifix before the endless hunger until they died.

- "Well, that's good," - I said with a sigh.

The fact that I would have many enemies in the future in which I would possibly end up kidnapped to be used as a lab rat or tortured or locked up until death was not something I would like to endure. I wasn't afraid of death, but I was afraid of cages, I was afraid of the traumas I had as a child.

- "Do you have names?" - They nodded and were about to tell me, but I stopped them with a high hand - "Well, from now on, you will forget them. I will give you names, but first, I will transfigure you to change your appearance, and that includes you, Kreacher."

- "If Master Black wills it, then Kreacher will accept," - Nodded my house elf.

- "Well, get ready," - I said and prepared myself.

It had been almost a year since I had taken the soul of a transfiguration master and his skills were very advanced, I didn't know if he was as good as Minerva McGonagall, but his knowledge was a lot in this subject. I was also practicing to get the hang of it and while it took some time, it turned out to be easier with my magical training progressing well.

In my mind, I already had the shapes that my house elves would have, or at least these four, so I pointed my wand and transfigured them all. I had already used my shapeshifting ability to get a real glimpse of the shapes I had chosen for them, so transfiguring them was super easy, for a master level, of course.

There, even their clothes were transfigured, and the best thing is that with "infinity", they will never change, I am a genius thief tehehehe.

I saw how they looked at themselves in a mirror that I transfigured for them to see themselves and they were amazed at their appearances.

- "Perfect. From now on, you are Yordles, your names will be..." - I began to point at each one as they looked at me expectantly - "You, the smallest, will be Lulu. You, the middle one, will be Poppy. You, the eldest of the three, will be Tristana. And you Kreacher, you'll be Kled" - Who, as I recall, their personalities are not too dissimilar, both old curmudgeons tehehehe - "What do you say?"

- "We are happy for the names the master gave us!" - Exclaimed the three house elves now Yordles on my behalf.

- "Hmp, Kreacher... Kled will accept whatever Master asks of him," - He said almost reluctantly.

- Great, I'm glad about that as these appearances are a hell of a lot better than your real appearances. Now let's get on with our plans, there's still a lot to work on, as we haven't even started yet.
