The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)

Chapter 145 - GOF (VIII) & First Task (I)

[POV Rumi(Roxanne)]

Colour me surprised when someone like McGonagall called me to her office when I haven't talked with her even once outside class. Well, I am a Hogwarts Champion... so the Headmistress might want to have a small chat with me while sipping tea... yeah, right. ??

She was declared Headmistress after three days after the meddling fool decided to do a runner. Nemuri made sure that the loyalty potions are flushed out of everyone's systems. Currently a country wide hunt is going on for him. Reo is quite sure that the bastard is hiding under a Fidelius if he is still in Britain, or else he had left the country.

I finally arrived in front of the gargoyle but it moved away. I shrugged and walked upto the door. I was about to knock on the door but a voice was heard from inside.

"Please come inside" I again shrugged and pushed open the door. Minnie gestured me to a chair, I quickly sat down.

"Miss, Ravenclaw I am going to be straight to the point. How are your preparations for the tournament going on?" The stern headmistress asked me.

"I have grown much more stronger in last two weeks. But I don't know what I would be doing for the first task so... it kind of makes it hard for me to know how much more I need to improve myself" I said and leaned back in the chair. Minnie nodded aporeciatively hearing me.

"Well, you might also know that I can't help you directly or indirectly, right?" She said to which I just nodded my head. "But I can suggest you a walk in the Forbidden Forest. It might help you to think more clearly" I immediately understood what she wanted to say. So they have already brought the beasts and they were keeping them in the Forbidden Forest.

"Thank you Headmistress McGonagall, I might take up on that offer" I said while getting up to which McGonagall smiled. Well, let's take a look. It was about noon, I headed towards the dorms. I needed to take Reo's invisibility cloak... after all I can't risk getting caught they might try to obliviate me. I found Reo, Momo, and Luna in the common room, I just told Reo that I needed his cloak... he immediately handed me the cloak without asking anything more.

After leaving the common room I quickly donned the cloak and applied some spells which would make me completely undetectable even with the revealing spell. I Flash Stepped out of Hogwarts and appeared inside the Forest and immediately heard some roars. Flash Step... a really nifty spell Reo made, quite useful as they can ignore any and all wards. I immediately headed towards the direction from where the roars were coming.

I appeared in a clearing and four dragons and three manticores!! Fuck!! Four Dragons meaning... they are for the senior Champions. Harry had to get past a fucking nesting Dragon?? And how is this easy if we have to get past a Manticore. I quickly found the buffon Bagman struting around and Crouch Snr. was also there. There is no way Nemuri haven't told me about this... so she wasn't notified about this.

Hehe... I pulled out my phone and clicked a picture and texted the perverted woman. Only after a minute she replied that she was on the way. She didn't disappoint me... as she apparated right in the clearing only after a few more seconds. I decided to stay and watch the show.

"What the hell is this?!" Nemuri exclaimed and drew everyone's attention. Bagman and Crouch Snr. didn't look much happy.

"Ah... Lady Ravenclaw, I am quite surprised that you are in here. We brought these for the first task of the tournament" Crouch Snr. decided to greet Nemuri.

"On whose permission?" Nemuri asked darkly. Wow... she must be really pissed off.

"Um... excuse me?" Crouch was quite surprised with her tone.

"I asked on whose permission you brought those beasts in this school?" Nemuri asked.

"We have to do it for the tournament" Crouch Snr. said in an arrogant tone.

"Why wasn't I informed about this?" Nemuri asked in an dangerous tone. The Dragon handlers or the Manticore handlers didn't know what to do anymore.

"We couldn't take the risk of telling you since your connection of the Hogwarts Junior Champion" Crouch Snr. said in a voice that was too sure of himself. I want to rip off his pathetic moustache so much...

"Oh... is that so... then from this moment onwards I forbid anyone of you entering Hogwarts' grounds" Nemuri said with a sick smile on her face. Everyone was taken aback by her statement.

"B-But all the champions would get penalty if they don't participate" Bagman sputtered like a fool he was.

"Aww... but there is small rule, if the organisers, meaning you two fools fail to get the task ready then only the organisers would face penalty... isn't that cute cock suckers?" Nemuri said with the same sick smile on her face.

"Are you mad??!!" Crouch Snr. for the first time lost his cool and screamed in rage.

"Don't fucking take that tone with me cock sucker. I will rip off your arms shove them so far up your arse that you will have to use your wand through your mouth" Nemuri said and released her magical power. Wow... Nemuri can be really damn... scary.

"*sigh* then, what could we do to allow us access to the school?" Crouch Snr. asked looking defeated.

"Oh you don't have to do anything! Leglimens!" Nemuri said and Crouch Snr. dropped on the ground grabbing head while screaming in pain. Nemuri is strong... she is still slightly stronger than Reo, when compared in raw magical power. She is going to rip apart his mind like a wet paper.

The buffon bagman didn't know what to do... he didn't even pull out his wand. He just watched standing aside like a stupid fool. The beast handlers shrugged... I don't know if it was smart for Nemuri to do it or not. But she knows more pureblood laws or any laws more than me.

"Th-Thats illegal" Bagman finally gained some courage and sputtered in fear.

"Can it ya fool? It's only illegal if I use it on minors without their parent's permission. Good luck... if you want to charge" Nemuri said and finally stopped using the spell. Crouch Snr. was rolling on the ground writhing in pain. After that Nemuri allowed them to enter the Hogwarts' grounds and immediately apparated out.

Well, if Nemuri said that was the law then it was. I won't argue with her... and I definitely know that she knows a lot better than me. At least those two fools won't be able to create problems for me through the tournament. Tomorrow there is going to be some shit about Wand Weighing or something... Nemuri texted me. She must have ripped all the knowledge she could from him.

I quickly made my way back to the castle and went to look for Harry Potter. Harry and Sirius were alloted a guest room near the Gryffydor tower. Sirius along with Dora were helping Harry. I knew where they practiced. It was an abandoned classroom on the 3rd floor.

I knocked on the door and was greeted by Dora who was sporting a bright green afro today. She looked nice... so I gave have her a thumbs up for her hair. "Wotcher Roxy?" Dora said and invited me inside. I found Harry leaning over a wall breathing heavily.

"Well, I decided to drop by and inform you about the first task" I said and immediately drew attention from the three people in the room.

"What is it?" Sirius asked impatiently.

"Dragons! Harry has to get past a nesting mother Dragon to get something... since they are using nesting mother dragons then it must be an egg... a fake egg" I said and by each word the three of them kept getting paler and paler.

"Dragons?" Dora squeaked and her eyes rolled over and fainted. Thankfully I guessed something like this could happen so I immediately grabbed her before she could hit the floor. Not that it would matter with all the times she ends up sprawled on the floor. I expect her skin to have become really thick.

Harry was already going into a panic attack. I reveied Dora who remembered what happened and became pale like a ghost. She might have started training with us from time to time but she has a long way to go before she can even compare to any of us. She is strong... but when compared to general magical population. She might be the strongest auror too but she can't be even compared to Reo or Nemuri.

"Look for strategies to go around the dragon... don't even think of confronting it directly. You maybe strong Harry but you aren't strong enough to take on a Dragon. There are few ways to kill a dragon on your own... but I won't recommend you using them after all they are risky. Edgar knows them in details... ask him if you want to know" I said and waited for Harry to give me a reply.

"Thank you for telling me and I should talk with Edgar" Harry said with a smile and nodded his head.

With that done, I bid the three of them farewell and left them to their devices. Now, I have to learn how to hunt a Manticore... Roxanne the Manticore Slayer... sounds quite nice...
