Chapter 32: Part 1

As we drove through Forks, we spotted a brown-haired girl being cornered by some guys who reeked of cheap booze and drugs. Typical teenagers doing stupid fucked up shit—before gamer culture took over, humans actually went out and got into real trouble. In my timeline though they either went on to create thirst traps or game because of how insecure they're about the opposite gender.

I had an epiphany. ('Oh my god, is this it?!') I thought, shocked. ('Have I missed the scene where this Gaylord saves the girl from being turned into meat paste already?') Annoyed, I realized that in the entire movie, that was probably the highlight for this Gay Overlord.

*Clearing my throat*

"Don't you want to go and save her?" I asked the edgy edgelord beside me.

He looked at me, slightly concerned, before dramatically driving over and slamming the brakes right in front of the group and the girl.

He climbed out of the car and barked, "Get in the car! Now!"

The girl opened the door, saw me sitting there, and froze for a second.

"Nah, lady, you take the back seat," I said, pointing to the back. She looked flustered but moved to sit in the back.

Meanwhile, I watched the edgelord just standing there, making the guys back off. It was hardly entertaining, so I got out of the car.

"Ed, what are you doing?" I questioned, annoyed.

He looked at me, unsure of what I was about to do.

"I'm going to do something more entertaining, something that fits the whole vampire genre better!" I said as I moved closer. 'See, my dear gay overlord, I know for 100% that you and that girl have something going on, but she's an idiot who doesn't understand the danger she's putting herself in by being careless around you,' I told him mentally.

"And you're going to do what about it?" he asked me.

"Well, this." I replied simply, striding towards the four muggles.

"Gents, I'm going to do cruel things to you for attacking a friend of the dude I can barely tolerate!" I announced. As expected, they were idiots.

"What?!" one of them growled aggressively.

Ever since merging with the Hallows, magic had become second nature to me, even more so than before. I pointed a finger at the first dude, and he exploded into a bloody mist. "I'm going to kill you guys," I told them, as if it were the most normal thing in the world.

Before they could process what was happening, I pointed to the next guy and made him hover in the air. As for the other two, I looked towards them and snapped my fingers. One was dismembered into parts, and the second started screaming like a bitch.

"Now, be a dear and allow me to train on you," I said, using Legilimency on the screaming guy.

Meanwhile, Bella had blanched to an extent that made Gayward look like he was a regular at a tanning salon.

"What the fuck do you think you are doing?!" Gayward nearly shouted as he shoved me into a wall. A bit late to act, but he tried.

"Don't worry," I said calmly, as he looked around himself, then back at me, extremely pissed off.

"And what about this?! By tomorrow, this place will be swarming with cops!" he said, fuming.

"Haha, no, there will be nothing about this reaching anyone," I said, raising my hand towards the sky. "Morsmordre!" I muttered, and a green beam shot into the sky.

"What the fuck, Severus!" he yelled angrily.

"We better get out of here!" I said, moving back to the car, but not before casting another spell to erase any traces we might have left behind, magically or otherwise.

I blew up the entire street, that's what I did. And I know the Anbu—oops, I mean the Aurors—will take care of everything.

As the three of us sit in the car, I can hear the pounding heartbeat of the girl in the backseat. I don't even need my enhanced senses to pick up on it—she's freaking out.

"Hey, you need to breathe, or you'll probably pass out. You're having a panic attack," I tell her, glancing at her through the rearview mirror.

"Let me out... LET ME OUT!!!" she starts whispering before erupting into full-blown hysterical shouting.

"Is this annoying you too?" I ask Gayward, deciding to stun the hysterical girl.

I point my finger at her and cast a weak stunner. To my surprise, she resists the spell, so I put a bit more power into it until she finally falls silent.

"You better have an explanation for what you did, or I will be really angry!" Gayward says in a threatening tone.

*Sigh*

Why do these people think they're in a position to demand anything from me?

"Yeah, well, first of all, it was to show this little miss that what she's trying to approach is not without its dangers," I say, knowing Bella is listening despite being unable to voice her displeasure.

"And second?" he asks, his tone dripping with annoyance.

"And second, as you're aware, a war is brewing, and I need the MACUSA to join in and not just watch from the sidelines," I add. I can see he's starting to grasp what I'm saying.

"MACUSA?" he questions.

"That's the counterpart to what we call the Ministry in my country," I explain.

"You think your war will escalate and reach here?" he asks, his skepticism evident.

"Yes. From what I've uncovered, this threat is out for blood, and they'll drag everyone down into a vicious cycle," I reply.

(I'm not sure if the situation will escalate, but I will make sure it does!) I think to myself, knowing this little stunt will help splendidly in making this war go viral.

"I see, and you're trying to lay down a false lead, pointing towards the group that's going to cause problems for you," he says, though I can feel he's still angry.

"Don't worry, the MACUSA will be cleaning up this mess by tomorrow. But yes, that was my intention," I say before moving on to a more pressing matter. "Also, if you want her, I recommend you seriously consider the whole 'have a child first' idea of mine. You also need to start explaining things to her." Bella looks like she's about to burst a vein, frozen in the expression she had before I stunned her.

*Sigh*

"I will talk to her and hopefully it will end peacefully," he says in a defeated tone.

"Anyway, I can ward your home and give your family magic rings to help with the whole sun problem, but you need to get your shit together faster than I have time to stick around for," I say. He gets what I'm talking about.

He's a natural Legilimens, and having him around means I will always be one step ahead in dealing with criminal scum because he will be mind-raping them. I can't have him sitting around doing nothing.

*Sigh*

"I will explain everything to you, but you have to promise me not to freak out," Edward says in a weak tone to the frozen girl sitting in the back seat, staring at us.

"Okay, let's take her home. And hey, be happy she's the one!" I throw out, spoiling a crucial plot point.

Did I ruin the whole plot? Oh, absolutely! But who gives a flying fuck about the plot of this shitty love story? She either comes around or doesn't. But I know she will because I can smell her releasing pheromones when Edward moved to brush a few strands of hair out of her face.

We had to take a break somewhere further from the destruction I left behind because Edward was too angry to drive. He wanted to see if that green light show would stay or be dealt with, and as expected, it was taken care of in a short period of time.

Afterward, we drove for a while and finally stopped a bit away from the Cullens' home.

"Please, release her from whatever it is you've done to her," Edward says.

"Sure, I will do that. Girl, you better keep calm or I will simply stun you again. Understood?" I ask. She can't reply, but tries to communicate with her eyes, which is funny, and so I release her.

"I understand," she says, now much calmer than before.

"Bella, I am a vampire," Edward starts, going on a tangent to explain what he is, what I am, and how the world is not as simple as she thinks. He emphasizes how extremely dangerous it actually is for her to be around him, and so on, and on, and on.

'Bitch, grow some fucking balls!' I think annoyed, and I see him look in my direction angrily.

Meanwhile, I am leaning against the car, wondering if there's a spell to create magical computers. As far as I know, magic and science don't mix. There's no method to make it work because magic is sentient in a way. Think about the Weasleys' car—it behaved like a sentient being at one point. This is the problem with combining magic and science. Magic takes over!

I need to find a solution if I want to impress that hot piece of ass named Ravenclaw.

Eventually, Edward and Bella return, looking me up and down.

"And he's a wizard?" Bella asks Edward, eyeing me skeptically.

"Why? Did you expect us to wear pointy hats, wave around sticks, or fly on brooms?" I ask, amused.

"Oh, no... no, no!" She says, trying not to get on my bad side. 

"Haha, Don't worry, we do all that stuff, but I'm just not like those stereotypical idiots," I say, grinning.

"What?!" she asks, shocked.

"So, what's the decision?" I pressed Edward, watching him wrestle with his thoughts.

"She wants to be turned," he finally admitted, his tone conflicted.

"Great, sounds like you've made up your minds. And what about kids?" I pushed further, and both froze.

"I do want children, but it's a huge commitment," Bella hesitated, unsure of her next move.

"Bigger commitment than deciding to become an immortal blood sucker?!" I ask her amused, and I can see her flinch.

"Take your time. Getting closer first is crucial in any relationship, even one between a teenager and a century old Vampire. And staying forever in a teen's body? Not exactly a brilliant choice unless you're desperate," I said casually, shrugging.

"Why not?" Bella shot back, sounding naïve, and she completely ignore my remark about the century old vampire.

*Sigh*

"Seriously?" I turned to Edward, incredulous.

"Well, she's still thinking like a a human girl, not a woman," he sighed, defeated.

"Hey!" She remarks annoyed.

"Firstly, there's the charm factor. A woman has a certain allure, maturity. A girl... is not quite there yet. Secondly, if you transform as a teen, that's how you'll stay forever. Eternal life as a perpetual teenager? Not my idea of fun," I explained, seeing understanding dawn on Bella's face.

"If I look more mature, I'd actually be able to enjoy life more freely, and will not have to stay perpetually in high school forever," she realized aloud.

"Exactly!" I say amused.

"I see," she nodded, turning to me. "Anything else I should know?"

('Huh, she's smarter than in the movies,') I thought, surprised.

"When I tell her something, she doesn't listen. But when he does, suddenly she's all ears!" Edward muttered, clearly annoyed with the situation, likely because he's condemned to a perpetual life as a teenager.

"Quit whining, like abitch!" I shot back at him.

"Bella, let's go. There's a lot I have to teach you," I said, guiding her towards the car.

"Oh no," Edward muttered under his breath.

"Enough, minion. Drive us home," I commanded, and with that, we set off, leaving Edward to grumble to himself while I began to corrupt Bella.

Hey everyone,

I finally finished posting the last chapter of the first Ark for my Patrons, if you want to read the whole Ark, you know where to go!!! I will now be writing/posting the second Ark!!

Here's the deal: we have a few milestones to hit, and if we can reach them, I'll release an extra chapter as a thank-you. Here's where we stand:

- **2500 cumulative PowerStones**: We're just around **20** currently short of this goal, standing at ~2480.

- **50 cumulative reviews**: We still need **21** more to reach this milestone, standing at 29.

- **450 cumulative comments**: We're just **24** comments away from hitting this target, standing at 426.

- **5000 cumulative collections**: We're short around **970** collections to make this happen, standing at ~4.03k. 

-**50 cumulative Patrons**: We're short **34** Patrons to achieve this goal. I suppose my irregular release rate is the cause, but cut me some slack I have ADHD, and get bored easily....

The most achievable goal is simply giving me all them Power Stones!

So, if you're enjoying the story and want that extra chapter, let's work together to hit these goals. Every bit of support counts, and I'm excited to see what we can accomplish as a community!
