Title At The End

"WHO DID THIS?" asked the red-haired man as threatening waves of magic were pulsing off of him.

"I-It was our new DADA teacher" replied the nervous blonde girl, failing her attempt to hide her hands behind her back.

"Show me" said the same man, but he sounded as gentle as the wind.

Daphne unwrapped her fits, revealing many scars and writing on her left hand.

Asura's eyes held enraged fury, promising his wrath, but the expression on his face was gentle as he looked at Daphne.

Raising his arms, he started rubbing her puffy cheeks with a slight red hue on them.

"Why didn't you tell me, Daphne?" Asura asked as he was rubbing her cheeks, which were slightly getting red.

"I am sorry" Daphne replied with her teary ocean blue eyes.

Then pulling her into his embrace, he kissed her forehead, healing all scars she held on her hands while removing any pain she was feeling.

"Daphne... promise me if something like this were to happen again, you WILL inform me" Asura said as he placed his chin on her head, causing Daphne, who was in Asura's chest, to turn entirely red.

"I am sorry… I heard you were not in a good mood" Daphne's words were muffled as she was in Asura's chest, but he heard it as clear as day.

Asura sighed, hearing Daphne, as what she said was true. He is currently grieving his friend's loss. While his 『Gamer Mind』 made him think calmly, the guilt was still weighing on his heart.

"The death of Albus affected me… and you are always to come and visit me to take my mind off things." Asura said as he combed her hair with his hand.

Daphne's stomach is a roller coaster of emotions. She is feeling embarrassed and anxious while feeling safe and warm in his embrace. It was soothing for her as she was inhaling Asura's addicting scent.

"I AM BACK! WOTCHER DAPPHY OH MERLIN!" Unfortunately, their time was disturbed when Dora barged in.

Daphne quickly came out of Asura's embrace and covered her face with her hands.

Dora turned awkward as she thought she was disturbing something. Now that she is a proper Auror, Amelia Bones has been positioned in Hogwarts and has been visiting Asura's office whenever she is available.

Asura chuckled, seeing Daphne covering her face in embarrassment.

Hearing Asura's chuckles, Daphne removed her hands from her face and groaned.

"What is it, Dora?" Daphne questioned while staring at Dora, promising Dora would experience hell if she spoke of this to anyone. While also challenging her to make fun of her.

A teasing grin appeared on Dora's face "Well, Hello Wotcher Daffy… am I disturbing your private time with PROFESSOR?"

Daphne quickly raised her wand and drew a jinx, which Dora dodged easily.

Dora was specially trained by Asura, so the spell wasn't hard to dodge. The spell was a simple jinx, as Daphne wasn't serious as she just wanted to shut Dora's mouth.

"Hello Dora. I will be taking my leave as I have… something to deal with" Asura said as he patted Dora's head before taking his leave.

Dora, who saw the look in Asura's eyes, turned to Daphne and questioned "Did something happen that upset Asura?"

Daphne, smiling wearily, replied "Yes, I was punished by Umbridge by Blood Quill."

Dora's eyes widened, and she said "Ohh dear… She is done"

◈ ━ ◆ ━ ◈

"Grr…" a groan came out from a man with red hair.

'One problem after one' Asura thought about the incident where the Aurors dragged Umbridge away in front of students.

Hogwarts popularity is very low currently, and another scandal of a teacher punishing students with Blood Quill can pummel more reputation.

"What can I do for you… Headmaster Black." said the man with a crooked nose and greasy hair.

"You will be teaching DADA from now on." replied Asura

The greasy-haired man was surprised to hear he would be teaching another class. He was already busy with his potions class and as the head of the Slytherin, so he didn't have time.

"Excuse me, Headmaster, but unfortunately, I barely have a doze of time as the potion teacher while also being the headhouse of Slytherin." said Snape, the potion teacher.

"You will be removed from the position of Head House and Potion teacher… You will be placed as DADA teachers, and as compensation, you will be given the office of DADA, which is a much bigger and higher salary. If you disagree, you are fired; you can call it blackmail, bribe, injustice, or even abuse. I have no need for an incompetent teacher" Asura revealed the reason for Snape's new position causing him to be baffled.

Seeing Snape's silence, Asura continued "You are not suited for potion teaching. I am not saying you have no qualifications, all I am saying is the feedback from students and your… past behavior is not suitable for potions teachers, which requires patience. You are strict and cautious. So I suggest taking the DADA position."

Snape stayed silent for a while, deciding whether to agree to Asura's decisions or not. It was a good offer for him, as he would get more time while also having a much bigger office which was separate, unlike most teachers' offices attached to their classroom.

Finally, after deciding, he nodded and said "I will take that offer, Headmaster. If you don't mind, who will be teaching potions class?"

Asura was happy that Snape accepted his decision. However, while Snape is a terrible teacher, Asura is sure Snape can be a better DADA teacher.

"You should know him pretty well. He is Horace Slughorn and will also be the Head of the Slytherin House." Asura replied.

Asura had to bribe him with the venom of 1000+ old basilisk and its shed skin for Slughorn to accept.

"Mr. Snape" Asura called out, seeing Snape almost to the door.

Snape turned around and caught a white bottle Asura threw.

"What is it, Headmaster?" Snape questioned, holding the white bottle.

"Head and Shoulders" Asura replied.

Seeing Snape's questioning look, he continued "… they are directions written in the back; it's for your hair… Before I forget here… this should fix your nose. I know we didn't start on best of terms, but I hope you will help Hogwarts as it is in dire need of your help" Asura said as he levitated a vial of potion to Snape.

Snape, a master in potions, can easily brew a potion for that, but the trauma on his nose was a touchy subject for Snape, as it was done by his abusive father. Still, he nodded his head, deciding to take Asura's advice, and thanked him before taking his leave.

Seeing Snape leave, Asura leaned back in the chair as he was rubbing Fawkes's forehead, a habit he had developed since coming to Hogwarts.

'Another problem done… Let's pay a visit to our friend'

◈ ━ ◆ ━ ◈

A disheveled woman was crying in a dark corner of the room.

"YOU!.. Why… I am sorry… AAA" the disheveled started crying seeing the person who came to visit her during her serving in Azkaban for a lifetime.

"Hello to you, Miss Umbridge… we are going to have so much fun. It's been a long time since I have gotten my hands dirty, so excuse me if I am rusty." said the man as he equipped golden claw-like fingers with chains attached.

Umbridge, who was panicking, suddenly came to realize that the dementors who had been haunting her since arriving were waiting patiently behind the man.

Realizing that the man was a dark wizard, she started screaming "HELP HELP ASURA BLACK IS KILLING ME!"

Asura, equipping his particular claw fingers, which he used as Killua, was staring at Umbridge amusedly.

"No one is going to help you. You are special; you are going to see a part of me even my fiancés hasn't seen~"

Hearing no reply, Umbridge, in her last act, started to scare Asura by saying "I-If you kill me… you are going to Azkaban."

Hearing Umbridge Asura started laughing, raising his arms in the air, he announced "Hahaha... THIS IS MY EMPIRE."

The prisoners started shouting crazily, and dozens of dementors gilded behind him, giving him an image of the Devil. And it doesn't help that Azkaban is always surrounded by storms and rains every day.

Umbridge pissed herself as her eyes lost their shine, knowing that was going to happen to her.

Title: "THIS IS MY EMPIRE"

=================

Let me know how you felt about this chapter. I didn't make any heavy edits, so let me know if you think the quality decreased or not.

Did you feel any different? I saved almost an hour by only lightly editing this, so I had time to finish a chapter.

The heavy edits I talked about are just adding some fancy words and making sure they fit in the sentence. Though it may sound little, it takes a lot of time for me.

Should I maintain this style and keep the chapters like this

or

Change it, and let me know what I should improve on

Like always, ignore if you find any grammatical mistakes, and let me know any spelling errors.

And here is my P@treon if you want to support me :)
