Saving private Black

now that I'm learning magic and can do it satisfactorily, I collect books from diagonal ally. it wasn't any hard to find and I could now disguise myself on a whim rather than just at home. my powers still got a boost from staying near magic plants nourished in my blood. I have finally masterd all three drains I could think of-drain magic, drain health and drain vigour. after I learn legimancy, I feel like I can also give drain memories a shot.

through sufficient disguise and spending muggle money sponserd by local criminal, I found books on all Hogwarts subjects and more including alchemy, occulmancy and others. I tried to test my plants at home based on a 6th year book, where you test the ingredients through a series of test to determine its properties.

after rigorous testing, I found out that as long as I'm the one making the portion with these plants as ingredients, it will get upgrade in properties based in my intent during the procedure. this is because of high synergy between me and qi and plants.

through all this I've also been setting up a small under Empire in diagon ally and kocturn Ally. because I have basically all control over plants and they have drain magic, health and stamina feature through me, I can basically sacrifice animals and other biological sources to grow my plants at exceptional rates. after sourcing some ingredients from diagon and knockturn, I had my very own Underground (hidden) potion business. it's underground so that I don't have to pay taxes and reveal my information. I also get access to employees that can get things done, ignoring morality or legality of those things. my employees are ranked like military and they get discount on any of my productions based on rank. privates are recruits who get 10% discount. corporal get 20% and sargent get 30%. there are no officers yet because they are not yet loyal enough to get that rank. although one is close enough.

Alexander hearth is a pureblood wizard who was bitten by a werewolf 5 years ago. 5 years ago he was the rising star of his generation, but now he is just another thug at knockturn. After he reached the sargent stage , due to higher ranked missions and hence higher payment, and with those discount, he could finally afford a wolfsbane potion from me. now wolfsbane allows a werewolf partial control over their wolf form and allows them to be in control. my wolfsbane does the same thing but it also removes the pain from transformation. although there exist potions that remove pain, they interfere with wolfsbane , thus it was impossible to remove the pain of transformation before. now that he doesn't have to go through hellish pain every month when he transforms, he started hating his wolf form less and less. I have even taught him basic meditation to pass time in his wolf form as he can't really do any normal human things in that form.

ever since he experienced this, he has been more loyal and respectful towards me. I can not only see it in his stature and body language, but also because he had this protective emotion towards me, qi can feel it due to her nature of protection. Alexander has even been asking his werewolf friends to hurry for promotion and take higher ranked missions to try out my version of the potion

one of our sneaky guys have recently confirmed that serious black never received a trial through his contact at ministry. once I got this confirmed I started rumours that serious black never received a trial and Malfoy played the system to frame him to put his son as next hier black. with this I also started reminding people that although he claimed imperious, he was still a marked death Eater while serious black never had a death mark.

all this came to fruition when a reporter(my employee of course) confronted the minister live about having a convict who hasn't received a trial regardless of the crime. already fed up with rumours and to thwart political and popular attacks against his backer Malfoy, who in private admitted that although he had no hand in it, he would love if black actually got a conviction through trial as his sons claim in now already tainted, if he could get a farce trial against the mad man to get him really convicted, his son can finally claim Black lordship.

minister allowed the trial and I was able to put public pressure on minsterey towards the build up of trial to insist Veritaserum(truth potion) to allow public some information on what happened that night. although Malfoy was against it. public pressure had built up so much that the whole Britain wanted to know what happened that night and what made a friend do this to another friend and his own godson.

the trial went as expected, as soon as Veritaserum proved his innocence and petigrew's apparent guilt. the whole wizarding Britain was in storms. people were angry and scared of what would happen to them if even a hier of black family got such treatment. Black was sent to St. mungos and after he said that petigrew is rat animagus with a finger missing, Wesley patriarch immediately took his sons pet rat to amilia bones to make sure. hence the rat was captured and tried seeing that his game was over, he admitted everything pleading mercy. since he admitted everything, Veritaserum was not used on him and hence couldn't force a few more death eaters under the bus.

after a few weeks of trial, serious black and Albus Dumbledore came to my house. I had a fun time acting as a kid and playing with serious as a dog in nearby park. when Dumbledore said that I need to stay here to keep blood wards up, I held back an eye roll. I said that it's no problem, I'll just say that I got a new pet. Dumbledore seemed hesitant but serious's tail wag got him. Dumbledore said that he will talk to my aunt to make sure, but I be said that he will only make matters worse, my aunt doesn't like wizards who took away her sister and hence he will be met with hostility. Dumbledore is surprized at how much my aunt has shared with me and leaves after saying goodbye. I take serious to a stroll and talk to him. when I think I'm alone , I ask qi to manifest in front of me and serious

we told him that she is ghost of my mother that is bound to me and because of her i have been able to free him. he got worried about me when I told him of my criminal Empire, but I told him that whole thing cannot be traced back to me. after hearing about how whole thing works he immediately asked to join in. I allowed him to join as a private even though he complained about not treating my Godfather as special and having him start at bottom with everyone else. I told him that he can only get promoted through missions. these missions are like Ninja missions (in Naruto) ranking from D to A. right now we need atleast three sargent for a single A rank mission and one for B rank, a corporal for C rank and a private for D rank .

because of my ability at potions, the wizarding drug market is ripe for taking, I can even reduce side effects and addictive quality of them. although not as good fit business if they aren't addictive, I feel as though it will only gain more attention from aurora. currently any drug I sell its not legal, but if I'm selling addictive products with side effects, my product will officially become illegal. atleast right now they are more like recreational suppliments
