Chapter 25: Hogwarts, of Giant Snakes and Memories. [3]

"Aster, could we go back to dealing with the Snake?" Amelia asked impatiently.

"Yes, let's do that. You boys stay right behind Amelia, Madoka called the dibs. Oh, Harry, ask this doo to open." Aster smiled.

The vault door-looking entrance opened and revealed a stone room that took the green color scheme a little too seriously, with the snake statues and a huge statue of himself or basically his face.

With the unimportant things described, Aster looked at the red-headed girl lying on the floor and an emo boy standing over her looking sus.

"Hey, emo boi, what are you doing inside with such a young girl in a place like this? You know, it's alright if you like her, but wait for a few years to do the adult stuff you beast. Why is she not awake? It's consented, right?" Aster asked like he was clueless about the whole scenario.

"Hell no, that's my sister. He is the Heir of Slytherin, the one behind the attacks." Ronald shouted as he tried to run over to Ginny, but was stopped by Amelia.

"His name is Tom Riddle, he was a student 50 years ago," Harry added.

"Voldemort is his past, present, and future." The emo-boi growled and then writes his full name in the air, TOM MARVOLO RIDDLE, then waves the wand and the letters rearrange themselves into, I AM LORD VOLDEMORT.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA, for all of that pureblood things and all, these idiots were kissing the boots of a low-born like him, a child of a muggle and a squib waging wars on blood supremacy... Amelia, I am going to tell Malfoy" Aster laughed as his face his mischief written over it.

"Don't you dare, I don't want to deal with suicides and possibly mad death eaters raging around," Amelia warned in a strict tone.

"Nope, I am giving this memory to him on Christmas, he definitely has a pensive lying around in his home. Oh, this will be epic, his savior revealing that he was a muggle-born or a mud-blood he so despises. This will teach him not to bail out idiots we tried so hard to arrest." Aster was still in his mischievous mood while our emo-boi had already called the snake out.

"Looks like it's your turn." Aster opened the way for Madoka.

"Finally..." Madoka walked up as her Sharingan changed to the Mangekyou Sharingan pattern, and a bloody red aura started coming from her. She walked up to the basilisk, matching eyes with it and the basilisk's eyes showed the pattern of Madoka's Mangekyou Sharingan.

She had already placed the King of Serpents in her Genjutsu, the snake slithered towards her, Albus tried to make a move but Aster stopped him, "keep watching Albus, she has it under control."

The 70-foot-long snake came near her and used its big head to snuggle up with Madoka as she caressed its head. The beautiful creature had smooth poison green scales and glowing amber eyes, such a majestic creature, rendered into a puppet for an egomaniac brat after sleeping for 1000 years in captivity.

"I am keeping her Aster, you can make her some nice playmates when we go back. Make sure you get the paperwork from the ministry." Madoka simply stated and called Crystal. The beautiful ice phoenix appeared from a snowflake and disappeared with Madoka and the basilisk, leaving a snowflake and a snake fang behind.

The emo-boi felt that the world crumbled before his eyes. The basilisk he was flexing, simply ignored him and went with a girl he did not know who she was and how she left a room that has wards against apparition.

"So, a memory should be left in the past, let me help you return to the past, anything to add emo-boi?" Aster asked with a playful smile.

"Join me, and we will rule over this world, you and me." the memory tried to lure Aster.

"You are a delusional fool, just return back to the past." Aster simply made a snowman who walked over and took the fang and stabbed the diary to end the emo-boi's chapter.

"Let's get the students to Poppy, Minerva, please escort them to the medical wing," Albus spoke to Minerva who took the children and left the chambers.

"Aster, I don't think it would be wise to keep a basilisk, I am sure Amelia can convince you that it is an XXXXX level creature that is illegal to keep." Albus tried his old manipulative ways.

"Don't worry, the law states, it's illegal to hatch and keep one in the British Isles, but she is going to keep it in the Frozen lands, that Aster owns, and I don't think he has laws against that or any laws for that matter." Amelia countered with a straight slap to the face.

"Don't worry, laws are for the humans, we spirits don't deal with that. I follow the law of your land because I want to try being a human for a little amusement. So, out with it, what do you want to do the basilisk?" Aster asked, saving the old man no face.

"Aster, I simply want to make you see reason, the creature was banned for a reason, it can only be put down while it's still weak after waking up from its hibernation, it's already a 1000 years old, it should have exceeded the power level of any basilisk to ever exist. We have to put it down before it does irreparable harm, it must be done for the greater good." Albus tried again.

"Tell me, Albus, you are stronger than almost every wizard or witch in the world right now, an existence that can cause irreparable damage just at your whims, how would you feel if I decide to put you down, for the greater good. If you don't satisfy me with your answer, I will have you stripped of your wand and magic along with all those political titles you hold." Aster asked the old man with a sharp glare.

"I-I ..." The old man could not say another word.

"You will answer the summons tomorrow, the DMLE awaits your arrival tomorrow," Aster said before vanishing with Amelia.

Back at the Ice Castle:

Madoka was chilling with the Basilisk in the hall room, "what took you so long?" she asked.

"Was a bit delayed to give him a reasonable interrogation summons to give the old spider some pressure to not let his manipulations go wild. This year is already over, let's get ready for the 'Sirius' problem at hand." Aster smiled and stretched his hands and sat down on the recliner.

"I better return home, Susan should already be there and I guess I have a lot of explaining to do." Amelia sighed.

"Don't worry, tomorrow I am going to tear the old spider a new one at the interrogation. Just relax for the day. It's already sunrise, but don't worry the interrogation is tomorrow, I will handle the office today, you take the day off and spend it with your niece." Aster assured her.

"Thank you, Aster, you are a lifesaver." she thanked.

"Say, Amelia, is Sirius really your fiance?" Madoka asked.

"Yes, she deflated. That old dog needs a lot to explain, landing in Azkaban a week before our marriage and never speaking with me after that, the bastard refused to even meet me. Just wait till he breaks out, I will settle all the damn scores with him," Amelia spoke her grudge before she apparated away.

"Looks like someone has an ax to grind." Aster chuckled.
