74 living arrangements (1/2)

Taking a deep breath in, when all 87 are out of the storage and select the first, he breathed out and put his hand on the block of ice while sending his consciousness inside it as he did with the Horcrux. When he arrived inside the mind of the Death Eater, he was surprised by what he saw. During his life, this one had Oculmency barriers erected. While the Dementors have shredded them to bits, he could actually see their remanent frozen solid alongside his thoughts and memories. But while they were frozen, Alex was able to interact with them.

Not wanting to know about it, he made his way inside his mind to found the taint, and there it was, equally frozen while a tendril could be see vanishing in the distance.

'Is that their connection with Voldie? Seeing how it's frozen I don't think he would even feel it snap, and since he never reacts about the loss of his Horcrux, it's perhaps nothing more than a marker for them to rejoin him than him knowing where they are. He did always call for them through the marks of others.'

While thinking at this, he chops the link, separating it from its host. While it did break it didn't vanish. Struggling at this, he absorbs the taint and rapidly deals with it. Not being larger than a hundredth of the lowest Horcrux, the amount of soul must have been insignificant to the point he could crave his mark on them without backlash as long as he takes some time to recover the loss.

When he returns to the living land, two windows have pop up.

{[Hidden Objective:” those among us”

You have discovered that shards of Voldie were also in his minions, cleanse the taint before confronting him.

Condition: Get rid of all of the fragment before dealing the killing blow to Moldyshort.

Fragments left: 2/109

”I wasn't expecting this. Sunny, do the elves have a way to tracks bearer of the dark mark?”

”No, master, we can't.”

”Oh, no worries, it was worth the deal. Could you send elves to see how much of the Wisengamot Lord and their friend have the mark, there should be some in Knockturn Alley too.”

”I will master!” Says him before vanishing for a few seconds and returning, nodding at Alex.

Thanking his elf for the efficient work he skims through the 86 other ones to remove their fragment. Once done with them, he goes through all their memories pertaining to the mark, noting every name and face before crossing out those in front of him. Thank the fact that some like Bellatrix, were from the inner circle, he was able to obtain the name of the 22 out of his reach for the moment. Giving the list to Sunny, who then transmit it to the elves actually searching for the mark before they were assigned to surveillance duty for those in the Alley owning shop. Barty was with Voldie and Snape at Hogwarts so it was only three elves.

Once done, he stores them until the days they wouldn't be needed in this world anymore.

Since it was early and they would now live here, he chose to add parts to the house. Taking the materials out, he rapidly transmutes the brick before adding them to the house for four additional floors. Processing slowly, he had another four-bedroom floor. With the dimension still of 10*22, each of the rooms keeps its 50 meters square size with the bathroom included.

Since the three other floors where empty, he directly enters the room to install the needs runes clusters in the bathroom before starting on the floor above.

The floor above the empty bedrooms was transformed into a playroom. he installs three bowling lane on the left side, creates racks for the bowling balls, and a glass partition running from a wall to the other with sound dampening runes scheme. Two darts boards where added to each side, separated with the path leading to the bowling lanes, in booths.

The other half of the room was equipped with pool tables, baby-foot, a bar, and comfy couches. Wanting to keep his previous theme, he decorates it in beige walls and taupe floor with soft lights. The floor was lined with heated tiles to let them stay comfortable even with staying up for longs parties.

For the floor above the playroom, he didn't a lot of things, three of the walls where turned in black while the four gain a large crystal screen spanning on the entire surface. On the other side of the room, comfy couches, seats, and loveseat were put and popcorn machine, drinks dispenders, and large glass bowl who would house snacks found their way to shelf on the wall.

The last floor still empty had the high of two and did take quite a few blocks of woods from his reserve, to create sturdy bookshelves, that the elves immediately start to fill, following the different sections. Their books on magic, science, language, as well as comics, would soon fill them. He also creates aisle in the room, leaving only a few places where the table appears to study. He also creates another place with comfy seats, drinks dispenders, and shelf with boxes of a healthy snack, mostly dried fruits, nuts, and the like.

His previous little three stories house has transformed into an eight stories high little mansion (2 floors for the library). Seeing that, he shrugged before exiting it to create an outside pool while he was at it.
