Chapter 27: Meeting with the Werewolves

Alexander followed the same procedure to increase his magic when his magical core was in gaseous state. Alexander theorised that this time his magic would not increase that much by this method. Alexander was lost in thought when Tobby appeared in his room and cried in distress, " Master, Tobby and the rest have failed you."

Alexander asked, " What happened?"

Tobby wailed in anguish, " Master!! We cannot find Greyback. We searched all over the country but we cannot find him."

Alexander, " It doesn't matter. Bring me some other werewolf and what about the goblins?"

Tobby replied, " Yes Master, we will bring you another werewolf. The goblins don't suspect anything. The goblin on which master did his magic was in forges when he exploded. Goblins think that something wrong happened in the forge which made everything explode."

Alexander asked, " How many died?"

Tobby replied, " We don't know master. The goblins are taking it as a great insult that one of theirs died during forging. Every goblin is under a magical oath to never talk about this again. But Tobby thinks that at least a thousand must have died."

Alexander then continued, " Can you steal the list of muggleborn students who are in Hogwarts or passed out from it in the last 20 years from the ministry?"

Tobby replied, " I don't know where the list is, master but Tobby will try."

Alexander replied, " Begin your search from the Department of Education then move on to other departments. Also, completely map out the ministry but don't expose yourself."

Tobby nodded in acceptance and shifted away. Alexander had named the new type of appriation as shifting. Alexander then continued his meditation. After few hours, Alexander heard a knock on his door, Alexander opened his eyes and said, " Come in!!"

Carter entered the room and bowed, " Your Majesty!!! As per orders we have completed our investigation. Our investigation shows that the location of spy agencies of Britain is same as our world. They have not started recruiting muggleborns in their ranks. Such proposal was brought up during the Second World War but was shot down on account that they didn't have any method of ensuring their loyalties but the government is keeping an eye on the muggleborns living in the non magical world. They find them by searching the school records of the children. Those who suddenly drop school at the age of 11 are also marked as suspect, after that follow up investigation is done by staking look outs at the non magical side of the railway station. In their reports, they have written that they cannot approach their pick up point but they easily identify the magicals due to their trunks and owls. If the suspected child is seen at the station then he is confirmed as muggleborn otherwise investigation is continued on the reason behind dropping of school."

Alexander asked, " How much they know about the wizarding world?"

Carter replied " They don't know much but they know that wizards are not as technologically advanced as them. They also know that the muggleborns face prosecution in the wizarding world and the Ministry of Magic is corrupt as hell."

Alexander asked, " Have they made any plans in case of war with wizarding world?"

Carter replied , " We were not able to inflitrate their spy agencies up to that much, your majesty."

Alexander replied, " I have ordered Tobby to steal the list of muggleborns from the ministry. If he succeeds in this task, then cross check that list with the list made by the non magical government of Britain. Also, try to inflitrate other non magical spy agencies to acquire similar lists from them, if such lists exists. Focus your efforts on the western countries for now. Also, pull back your men from British spy agencies, I don't want any exposure this early in this game."

Carter nodded in acceptance and left.

Alexander once again entered in meditation. Alexander felt someone pulling his shirt and saw a young nervous female elf standing before him. Alexander smiled at her and asked, " What happened , little one?"

The female elf blushed and said, " Master was practicing magic for so long. Rose thought master must be hungry so Rose made dinner for master and brought it to him. Is master angry at Rose?"

Alexander realised that the elf was very young in case of elves and patted her head fondly and said, " I am not angry at you, Rose. You did good. Now, let me taste the dinner made by you." Alexander saw that Rose had made continental dishes for him. Alexander ate it and found them to be mouth watering and delicious. Alexander turned to Rose and said, " Rose, you have made excellent food. From now on, you are my personal cook."

Rose jumped in happiness and quickly hugged him and on realising what she had done, shifted away while blushing. Alexander called Tobby and told him that Rose was now his personal cook and Tobby himself was appointed as head elf. Alexander then, went to sleep.

Alexander woke up and after having his supper, was informed by Tobby that they had captured a werewolf couple late at night in the Knockturn Alley. They were currently in the dungeons of the mansion. Alexander ordered the couple to be brought before him. Tobby shifted with two people in the hall. They were dressed shabily and were clearly exhausted due to lack of sleep but they were very afraid of Alexander. Alexander peered into their minds as they looked around for a way to escape. The male's name was Jack and the female's name was Sarah. These poor souls had somehow managed to collect enough money to buy some wolfsbane for Sarah's little brother called Daniel who was only 8 years child but before they could buy it from the potions store from the Knockturn Alley, they found themselves locked up in a dungeon. They had not slept the whole night in their worry for Daniel and they were planning to overpower whoever was the owner of this mansion. When they saw Alexander, they had a feeling of fatal danger like they would not be even able to move before the man sitting in front of them would end them.

Alexander said, " Don't be afraid, come have some breakfast. Tobby!!! Please bring little Daniel here from these guys home." Alexander then send the image of Daniel and their home to the mind of Tobby. Before Jack and Sarah could even comprehend what was happening, Daniel was standing before them. The little boy had puffy eyes likely from crying all night.

Daniel on seeing them jumped in happiness and ran towards them, asking them a thousand question per minute. Sarah quickly sushed the boy and checked him all over for any injuries. After they had satisfied that nothing bad had happened to the little guy, they turned towards him warily.

Alexander said, " Rose!! Please give Daniel here a bowl of icecream and take him to the garden to show him around. I want to talk to his sister."

Rose came and after some coaxing and encouragement on Sarah's part, managed to take Daniel away. Alexander read Sarah's mind for the reason and saw that she didn't want her brother to see any harm inflicted on them as it would traumarize the boy for life.

Alexander said, " Don't be afraid. I am sorry for any trauma caused to you."

When Alexander had ordered his elves to bring him a werewolf, he didn't expect them to just kidnap any werewolf they saw. Alexander thought, " I will ask Carter to train the elves in spying after my conversation with these people is over."

Jack asked, " What do you want from us? We don't have anything."

Alexander, " I want your help. Well!!! I can do this forcefully but willing test subjects makes the job easier."

Sarah, " TEST SUBJECTS!!!! What do you want to do with us? I knew all the purebloods are sick bastards."

Alexander expression turned cold. He never liked when people called him bastard. Alexander said in a cold tone, " Never call me a bastard again or you will have to bear the consequences." The only reason Sarah was not dead was because she was pragnent. Alexander with his increase in magical power had gained the ability of sensing magic in a certain range but not like Dorea Potter, Alexander could only tell whether someone or something was magical or not. Since both of them were standing near Alexander, he could sense the fetus as it also had magic.

Jack, " Please!!! Be lenient with her. She has been awfully cranky from last few days."

Alexander, " Well!!! Pregnancy does that for you. By the way, congratulations to both of you if the child is Jack's if not then congratulations to Ms. Sarah and my condolences to you, Mr. Jack."

Sarah, " WHAT!!! I am pregnant. I didn't even know. How do you know this? What are you saying? The child is obviously Jack's. Do you believe me, Jack?"

Jack replied, " Of Course!!! I believe you. We are werewolves, we mate for life. No way you will you have someone else's child. This man is just messing with us. Enough of your jokes, tell us what do you want from us?"

Alexander, " To answer Ms. Sarah's question, I can sense your child. I want your help in finding the cure of monthly changes which occurs in werewolves."

Sarah asked in disbelief, " You want to cure werewolves."

Alexander, " You cannot say it a cure but an upgrade."

Jack, " Upgrade?"

Alexander, " What do you know about Werewolves as a whole?"

Jack, " We change every month at the night of full moon. A person bitten by werewolf also becomes a werewolf. A werewolf losts his mind in the night of change without the wolfsbane potion. A werewolf is a type of magical disease."

Alexander, " Being werewolf is not a disease. Werewolves are a magical species like vampires. The difference is that werewolves are predecessors of vampires."

Sarah, " Why are you telling us all this?"

Alexander, " I want you to convince the other werewolves to come to me. As I am a wizard, there would be natural distrust and hate in them towards wizards and witches. But if one of them brings to them, the news of a possible release from their suffering, then, they would be more ready to listen to me. This is enough information for now. Don't see yourself as a diseased person, but as a species of magical creatures."

Jack, " We don't know what you are planning to do but We would not help you."

Alexander, " You will help me. I want you to discretely gather all the werewolves you know. The more you gather, the better it would be. Till then, Sarah and young Daniel would remain with me. Don't panic I would not mistreat them. Since the night of full moon is coming soon. I would not pressure you to convince others now. But after the recovery period from the change ends, you would have one week to gather as many werewolves as you can."

Jack tried to attack Alexander but was send flying by Alexander's backhand to the wall. Alexander called Tobby and ordered him heal Jack and to transfer the three to another property of Alexander. As all the properties were now a part of his kingdom, they cannot leave or enter without his permission. Alexander further ordered Tobby to appoint one elf to discretely trail Jack when he leaves for his mission given by Alexander.

Alexander had decided to adopt the same modus operandi when dealing with the werewolves of other countries. Alexander now started searching for a perfect pureblood family who could help him immensely in the next stage of his plan.
