24 another common day for Alexander Evans (1/2)
The following days were nothing like the epic two previous ones. After the time frame of the analyzed runoff, he was able to integrate the knowledge of the books, and trunks. For the first, the appearance and meaning of the runes were simple enough. The arithmancy books turn out to be simple calculus thus also quite easy.
The real difficulty was the trunk, rune alone is simple but clusters are infinity more complex. The interaction of each rune with others was analyzed as well as the structure of the cluster itself, to the requirement of magic wise, and a number of various other variables. The downside, he didn't have sufficient knowledge as of yet to fully comprehend them, thus unable to replicate them. The plus side, the more theoretical knowledge he absorbs, the more his data bank growth, and with it, small incoherencies start to appear for him. Those incoherencies were of none importance as they don't treat the structures of the clusters, but he sees that the more he waited, the better he would be able to form them.
As said by CS, his ability was a complete cheat. Seeing their inefficiency, he decided to completely discard the actual rune system used by the Britain wizard and transfer all his effort to the accumulation of systems. For this, he has redistributed the tasks of the house-elves. Now, he has a group of five who work was to run through the vast collection in the personal library and made a copy of each of the books before absorbing the copy. It was only due to the fact that he was the head of the clan that they were able to freely touch and made a copy of them without being subject to the various enchantment present on them.
The wand has been a disappointment and a source of great knowledge. First, they were nothing more than wood sticks with animal cores under few enchantments. Like the trunk one, they were already showing some disparities, thus he would be unable to create one for himself any time so.
The knowledge of the different wood structure, on the other hand, was a happy accident, with this he would be able to transmute easily the rarest woods in great quantity without a problem. The cores were another thing entirely. He simply hadn't expected that the system would analyze them to a genomic level. The level of complexity was so much that the lowest being Kneazle whisker would take more than three months to analyze, the phoenix feather was not in months, years, or even decad but in centuries.
What that signifies? It simple, the moment he has a complete scan he would be able to create say animal or ability. Due is anatomical knowledge of cat, a great part of the time has been reduced, leaving the greater part to its magical power such has Legilimancy. When he sees that the time was reduced for the Kneazle whisker due to past knowledge he asks Kione to give one of her fallen feathers. Being already fallen, he was able to take them without much trouble.
Three days later, the analysis was complete and the time for the phoenix one has lost two days, a drop in an ocean but with this confirmed result, Bilby was sent in mission to collect as much as possible feathers of any birds, magical or otherwise.
Why CS was busy running the ever-growing list of undergoing analysis, Alex didn't stay idle. While being the house of his ancestor, he couldn't adapt to the manor and is wizarding structure. Thus his next days were used has demolition man. Every other house in the surrounding were slowly deconstructed, leaving only amas of raws materials behind. While it frees none optimized space, it also serves as great training for him.
On the seven august, he didn't forget his appointment with Headcrusher. Now completely free of the Potter, it rapidly changes to a formal audit of his vault. The fact that it only contains only Galleons has made things even simpler.
”As you can see after the enacting of the contract, the total of 95,114,596.00G has been transferred from the Potter account to yours, you trust vault have been empty of his 98,800.00G and transferred. I think you would be pleased to know that the 11,200.00G owned to you by the Dursley family have been recover, along with its 10% interest of 1,120G have been had. As of today, your complete worth is of 95,225,716.00G.”
”How much was your fee for them?”
”An additional 10%” Say the grinning goblin that rapidly stops seeing the frown on the young wizard.
”That won't do, you have been of great help, I want you to take an additional fee of 560G for your good work.” The bloodthirsty grin return has fast has he have vanish.
”I will do to it.”
”Great, is there anything else?”
”Yes, due to your successfully untieing from Potter house, some case has raised. When 'Harrison James Potter' dies, One Sirius Orion Black became an oath breaker, thus magic had claimed it due and the lord of House Black his no more.”
'I have completely forgotten about him.'
”What was his previous status? You say he was Lord Black, did he had any other post?”
”Yes, he was a senior Auror and partner of Lord Potter.”
”Was he aware of my condition?”
”They have attended to renegade on the Oath, that why magic has claimed is life, not just compensation for you.”
'Another change, this one was never in Azkaban.'
-Yes, I could easily see his goofing attitude follow him all those years, not being there didn't change him.'
”What seems to be the problem?”
”Before his death, Lord Black has made a will but since he was found Oathbreaker, you have precedence on the will and have the right to claim compensation.”
”As the reading of the will be made?”
”It's is for tomorrow's eight.”
