A NICE MORNING TO DIE

Ryan awoke slowly, savoring the feeling of Bellatrix's warmth beside him. He has a lot going on in his mind. From the discovery of Ministery's dark secrets to the new trials that were set into motion. He glanced at his ring and wondered about all the spells and powers he was going to unlock over time. The path his future self set up for him was not an option anymore. With the changes that kept occurring one after the other as a result of the butterfly effect thanks to his intervention back at Hogsmeade, everything had been deviated.

However, Ryan decided to follow his own path. The thrill of unknown, completely new events that weren't from the OG Harry Potter book unfolding before his eyes, awaiting the moment for him to uncover them was the main motivation that drove him. And not to mention the beautiful girls who had fallen for him. To gain even more than what he has right now, he has to become stronger than present Ryan.

'The top. I'm gonna stand on top...no matter what.' He was very clear about that. 'I'm gonna rule the Wizarding World one day. Yeah, I should at least dream that much, don't I? Then, I'll kill that gatekeeper. After that, I'll live a happy life with my harem. Simple and uncomplicated... Sounds like a plan, haha!'

Ryan glanced down at Bellatrix, her breathing soft and even as she slept on his chest. The fierce, ruthless witch he had known was beginning to show a more vulnerable side. He gently brushed a stray curl from her face, marveling at the transformation taking place within her. 'Not everyone had the ability or a means to save themselves from the darkness. Everyone needs someone's warmth and acceptance, even a little gesture can help a lost soul regain some hope and peace.'

Even though he had a naked girl, sleeping on top of him, plus she was submissive and would let Ryan do anything to her, yet for some reason, he didn't feel like taking advantage of that. He was aroused, yes, who wouldn't be? But what held him back was Bellatrix's sleeping face. He softly touched her head and patted her, occasionally running his palm over her head. It was somewhat a different kind of feeling that he felt when he was with Puddifoot or Lily. It was stronger than that.

In Ryan's mind, she is like a broken mirror that he is going to fix at any cost, with enough care and love. He wanted to mend her wounded soul and win her heart like a real man, instead of taking advantage of her using his authority over her.

After a while, he quietly slipped out from under her. Once out of bed, he looked for his discarded robe and quickly put it on before peeking out the window. It was snowing heavily today. There were very few people on the street, going on about their errands, leaving footprints in the snow. Ryan's breath fogged up the glass as he gazed outside. He watched as the snow drifted lazily to the ground, blanketing the surroundings in a white, fluffy carpet.

"Master," Bellatrix woke up and called him with a husky voice.

"Hmm... I'm here," Ryan turned around and smiled.

She got down from the bed and walked toward Ryan, naked. She didn't bother to cover herself and stood beside Ryan, "I had a dream." She spoke after a brief pause.

"Was it a good one?" Ryan asked curiously.

Bellatrix nodded, "Yes, Master!" Her eyes fixed on Ryan, staring at him intensely with her beautiful green orbs. "I don't even remember the last time I had a dream, that didn't involve killing and screams. Yet, last night... I saw myself in a beautiful field surrounded by flowers, trees, and various birds chirping in the background. You were lying on my lap. It was very peaceful. No war, no nothing. Is that weird?"

"No, it's not weird Bellatrix. That's happiness. That's what dreams are for. You should be happy that you finally know what it's like to dream and live without any burden on your shoulders. And stop calling me master, or My Lord every single time. Call me Ryan," He gently tapped on Bellatrix's nose.

Bellatrix stared at him with her mouth opened slightly and her eyes were wide open in shock, "But master..."

"Nah ah... No buts."

"I..."

"Nah ah!" Ryan shook his index finger in front of Bellatrix.

"You..." She tried to protest but seeing Ryan's stubbornness, she reluctantly agreed, "Ryan!"

"Good girl... Now, dress up," Ryan's eyes fell on a couple of suspicious people hiding around the inn. A couple of them were walking around and gossiping, trying to look like regular shoppers but the way they constantly looked toward the inn and the fact that Ryan had seen them twice already, he was sure that they were watching the inn. "We got company."

Bellatrix glanced outside and noticed a few familiar faces. They belong to the Malfoy family. She clenched her fist as a surge of anger rose up from within. Here she was spending some peaceful time with her master and these bastards came to ruin her mood. Although, she knew that Voldemort would send men after them for her betrayal, the bitter taste in her mouth remained.

'How dare you bastards ruin our morning? I should just kill you all, no, I'm gonna burn you all alive then torture you for hours until you bite your tongues off and bleed to death.' A sinister smile appeared on Bellatrix's face as she dressed up and grabbed her wand.

"Calm down Bella... No need to go berserk this early in the morning..." Ryan touched her shoulder to calm her down.

"But..." She was about to say something but stopped noticing Ryan's sinister smile.

'Ohh! That smile!' Bellatrix felt her heart flutter as she felt a tingle down her spine. This was the first time she saw Ryan smile like that. His emerald-green eyes were shining brightly, 'Wait! Was his eyes always green?!' For some reason, she couldn't remember his eye color clearly. She tried to recall but was unable to do so. 'What's happening to me?! Why am I having trouble remembering Master's eye color? Did I get hit by the Confundus curse or Imperius Curse?'

Ryan grabbed her shoulder, bringing her back to reality. "Careful. It has already started. If you are not careful, you'll get swayed by their illusions." He pressed his palm on the wall, channeling his necro energy throughout the area. He detected approximately forty wizards spread all across the inn and its surroundings within a 300-meter radius.

'I knew it! Spreading this energy can help me detect intruders easily. This is great! And a 300-meter radius is also awesome,' Ryan glanced at Bellatrix who was still confused, "Remember when I said that we are going to stand on the top? The rest be it muggles or pure bloods will have to bow down before us. Today's the beginning of that Bellatrix. We are going to kill every single enemy who dares to ruin our moment. That's why..." He paused for a brief moment as Bellatrix waited for him to complete. "Today, we'll give them a bloody morning greeting."

Bellatrix smiled upon hearing that and nodded. "Just give me the word. I'll slaughter them all... Hehehehe... I'll skin them alive..." A sadistic laugh escaped her lips as her eyes flashed with killing intent. She couldn't wait to get her hands on them and torture them to death.

Ryan summoned his ethereal chains to wrap up every single one present inside the inn. Since the Malfoys went this far to arrange things, the civilians inside are either dead or cleared out. But he couldn't feel any dead bodies within the inn, which made it clear that they evacuated the people and replaced them with their own men.

'Killing people right now would attract the Order and Aurors. So, they must be trying to keep it as quiet as possible. But...' His eyes swept through the surroundings as he suppressed his murderous intent. 'They chose the wrong person to mess with.'

"Let's go," He opened the door and walked out of the room.

"I'll wait down. You kill the fuckers on this floor. I've already wrapped them up with my chains, so no need to worry about counterattacks," Ryan informed Bellatrix as he headed toward the staircase. "Have fun, Bella..."

Bellatrix licked her lips in anticipation. She gripped her wand tightly and readied herself for the massacre that was about to begin.

Ryan walked downstairs. There were a couple of them near the stairs, frozen like mannequins, trying to think what just happened to them and why couldn't they move or speak. He smirked seeing their desperate struggle to move.

"Yo! What's wrong? Can't move your body? Huh?" He kicked the blond guy's balls hard. The poor guy tried to scream in pain, but his mouth was blocked by Ryan's ethereal chains, preventing him from making any sound. Tears rolled down the guy's cheeks as a muffled scream came out.

Ryan glanced at the other guys and kicked each of their balls one by one.

Those six guys who were guarding the stairs writhed in pain and struggled to break free from Ryan's chains. Unfortunately, they were bound to fail.

"Ahhh, now that's refreshing... Feeling good boys? What a nice morning to die, isn't it? Don't worry, my chains won't kill you, but..." Ryan channeled his necro magic through the chains, 'Nex Mortis!' He used the decaying curse to rot their insides slowly.

The six guys tried their best to break free. Their bodies were slowly rotting from the inside, giving them enough pain to drive them insane.

Ryan glanced at them and smiled. "This curse kills the target depending on the amount of magic I put into it. And, I just used enough to kill you fuckers very slowly. So, hang on there. After all, you gotta die painfully for ruining my morning with Bella."

"Avada Kedavra!"

"Crucio!"

Ryan heard Bellatrix's loud shouts.

"Ahahahahaha... Expulso! Die! Die! Avada Kedavra! Crucio! Crucio!" Bellatrix laughed like a mad woman while casting multiple spells killing everyone on the second floor. Ryan could feel that she was having fun. He was actually surprised to see that she was casting those curses as if she were taking a walk in the park. Just how powerful is her mental fortitude to pull off such a feat?

'Well, whatever. As long as she is having fun. Then, I shall enjoy myself too,' Ryan went behind the counter and took two mugs from the self. Then he poured two mugs of butterbeer from the barrel.

After that, he sat on the chair and enjoyed his butterbeer while waiting for Bellatrix to finish her morning exercise.
