23. Punishing a fake cat lover

2 days passed. Today he was going for dinner at Malfoy Manor.

In the past two days, he spent most of his time collecting the rest of the Horcruxes and teaching Edward and Hermione. He was able to find all the Horcruxes except Nagini, though he wasn't sure if she was turned into a Horcrux or not. Nagini was an immortal being but with a tragic past.

She was a normal human girl when she was born and stayed that way for most of her teenage years but due to Maledictus, a blood curse. She was destined to turn into a beast for permanent and in her case, she turned into a snake. An immortal snake. Due to her immortality, Voldemort considered her a good candidate for Horcrux and he also needed her venom to make his new snake body.

Alexander truly felt bad for the girl. She was friends with Credence aka Aurelius Dumbledore. But finding her was a real pain in the ass.

For now, he had asked Edward to go and look for her in the forest of Albania. Edward was a real prodigy or maybe he just had a boost because of being a reincarnated boy. Either way, he had earlier approved him to take N.E.W.Ts. Edward had taken his O.W.Ls in the last term as he was in 5th year and now he was going to go to 6th year but there was no need for him to. He was already as strong as a Hogwarts professor and his specialization was also not limited to just one subject. He had more than sufficient knowledge in Charms, Curses, Wards, Runes, Potioneering, herbology, transfiguration, Alchemy, Apparition, care for magical creatures and also dark arts.

Alexander had decided to help Edward reach the level of Dumbledore or stronger before he leaves the world. If possible he would help both Hermione and Edward reach the level of Grand Arch Magi which was higher than Dumbledore who was just an Arch Magi.

On the other hand, Alexander himself was a Grand Arch Magi and wanted to at least reach the Supreme Magi level before leaving the world.

Unlike Edward whom he was teaching all the subjects plus how to run a business. His approach to Hermione was quite different. He also taught her all the magic subjects but also how to play the game of politics, how to catch lies and how to manipulate words. He was also teaching a great deal of dark arts and how to deal with it as she would be doing that a lot when she takes over the ministry. Though the most common thing that he was teaching them was wandless magic. He didn't want them to feel vulnerable in case they lost their wands in a fight.

To Alexander himself, wandless magic came as natural. Mainly because no wand accepted him as master. Or more precisely, they were scared of him. For a being with 100% affinity with magic, his magic aura was stronger than even the most ancient and purest of the wizards or artifacts. His aura scared the sh*t out of every wand. But he never really felt any trouble without a wand.

The level at which he was on, he didn't even need to chant spells or do hand movements. Magic was like a 3rd arm to him. All he needed was to imagine and the magic would happen. In his study of magic, he also discovered an amazing thing about dark arts. He found out that it was totally harmless. What wizards believe that dark magic turns the user evil was wrong.

He was talking about dark magic and not dark rituals which required sacrifices that were purely evil. But, dark magic like the three unforgivable curses don't need a strong intention to cast. They just need good enough magic strength. Dark magic was much stronger than white magic so obviously it needs higher magic power and control but not many wizards have been able to reach that level.

Most wizards need a strong intention to produce a dark magic curse. Their emotions work as an amplifier and due to those emotions, the person turns evil. It's not the fault of magic but the weakness of the caster.

To him, black magic was like any other magic, Crucio, Imperio or Avada Kedavra are the same as any other white magic. Avada Kadavra can not only be used as a killing curse but if controlled nicely it can be used to inflict heavy damage on someone without killing.

"CONFRINGO(blasting Curse)" Hermione yelled loudly.

Alexander's thoughts returned to the open space where he teaches his students. The battle golem got blasted into pieces.

*CLAP CLAP*

"Bravo, little cat. You finally managed to cast a powerful spell without a wand." He praised.

Hermione's cheeks turned red due to the praise. She was not a shy girl anymore but in front of him, she acted like a little innocent girl.

"Yes... Professor... but... I feel so... exhausted. I feel like my body is devoid of... Magic," she replied while trying to calm her breath.

"Oh! Sit down then... Here take some rejuvenation potion" he gave her a goblet full of flavored potion. His company had started to produce them on a large scale. They were the best in the market, had higher potency and also came in different flavors. To not make other shops bankrupt he also allowed them to sell his potions for a slight margin.

Hermione drank the whole potion in one breath.

"Well, there is a reason why you feel devoid of magic. Just like muggle boxers make their fist stronger by punching the sandbags to let the bones get stronger over time. We wizards also get stronger over time with the use of magic. Magic runs in our veins and by continuously flushing it out you are making yourself stronger and also increasing the size of magic reserves. But no one does this as it is a very dangerous practice but because you have me, there is no need to worry about it. With the help of potions, I'll make you very strong in no time. But promise me not to do this outside of here, not until you reach Edward's level. It can be life-threatening." He explained.

Hermione looked at him with stars and reverence in her eyes. "Yes professor, I'll never do it outside."

"Haha... Good, now let's go, I'll drop you at your home." He said as he ruffled her curly hair.

When he apparated in Hermione's room, he found Mrs. Granger cleaning the room. She got a little spooked though, but nothing too much as his apparating to their house had become a common practice.

"Oh, hello Mrs. Granger. I came to drop her off."

"Thank you for teaching her professor" she thanked with a slight bow. She had learned from her daughter that he was more than a hundred years old. Which he wasn't, he was just 73 years old.

"No no... It is me who should thank you for producing such an intelligent girl. I am very much looking forward to your next child," he said, embarrassing the middle-aged woman.

"Okay, I got work in the ministry. Bye, little cat. Be sure to read the book I gave you"

"Yes professor, I'll do" she promised.

With that, he apparated to his ministry office. Leaving behind a confused Mrs. Granger.

"My ginger, is professor some kind of a minister in the government. I've never seen him on the T.V. though," she asked.

"No mom, he's not a minister in the government but he's the head of the ministry of magic. His position is called minister of magic. He is much like the prime minister of the British wizarding community." Hermione explained.

"Oh my, he is a very important man then." She amusingly said.

"He is a lot more important than just that mom. He's probably the richest wizard in the world right now... Come I'll show you some videos about him on Unitube" she took her mom to the living room downstairs.

...

Meanwhile in the ministry office. He sat on his chair with his feet on the desk. The Ministry looked very colorful and cheerful with all the changes he made. Currently, he was waiting to pass his judgment on Dolores Umbridge. He was not talking about judgment as a minister but as God's advocate. He was sure that the fake cat-loving b*tch had high enough sins to be sentenced to death but he needed her for now. She had contact with other workers in the ministry who had Voldemort-like thinking.

After some time a knock was heard on the door.

"Yes come in" he ordered.

Dolores Umbridge walked in with small steps and a creepy smile that would make anyone wanna punch her face.

"You asked for me, sir"

Alexander took his feet off the table. "Yes, I had some things to talk to you about. Take a seat"

She quickly sat down. Alexander opened a file in front of her and sat on the table near her.

"Okay... Let's see. Dolores Umbridge. Father's name Oxford Umbridge. Oh! He used to work here in the Department of Magical Maintenance as a janitor. Mother's name, Ellen Cracknell. Oh, she was a muggle. I thought you were pureblood. She also had a squib son but was later betrayed by her own husband and daughter and was forced to divorce. Since then, you haven't seen them ha? Talk about family issues." His words pierced her like needless. She started to shiver in both fear and anger. Fear because Alexander was someone she could not touch and anger because her secret came out.

"Why did you lie Ms. Umbridge? You told everyone that your father was an honorable member of the Wizengamot. You yourself have muggle blood in you but still act like those dumb pureblood supremacists. You inflicted pain and despair on so many muggle-born wizards. You misused your power to fulfill your own filthy and twisted desires." By then she had grown red with anger. Her smile had long vanished leaving behind a monstrous growling face.

"You can't do anything to me. I worked so hard for all this. You have no right..." She stood up and yelled.

*SLAP*

She couldn't even complete her words before receiving a hard slap on her face and falling back in her seat.

"Shut the fuck up. You didn't work hard. You plotted and backstabbed your way into the ministry. You shall receive judgment now"

Alexander used his eye of judgment to see her sins.

*Sigh*

He was shocked by her crime list, baby or child-killing was one of the cruelest of crime anyone could commit. For now, he was going to give her a long time-torture.

He made her go through all the bad things she did to others first and then made her repeat doing good deeds for others, like taking care of a house-elves like they were her master and fighting for the rights of magical creatures. The whole punishment would last 50 years for her in which she would be thoroughly brainwashed. Then she would spend time as a wife of a real giant for 10 years. But sooner than later she was going to hell by his hands.

Leaving her like that he looked at his watch.

"Alright, she'll be like this for the next 10 minutes. I guess it's time for me to go to Malfoy mansion." he talked to himself and left.
