Chapter 74: Professor Black - 74
Asura has already returned to England. Ela and Bella were trained properly. Bella asked one thing from him, which didn't surprise him much.
Bella asked him to drink her blood, and Asura didn't mind since recently Bella's blood was also attracting him.
Asura had tasted the blood from magical beasts to improve his power, but he had never tasted blood from a wizard or witch before, since nothing had attracted him.
After drinking Bella's blood, he found it was delicious as Ela's previously before she turned into a Draculine. After turning to Draculine, Ela's blood tasted Asura's favourite. But he also started drinking from Bella, since drinking the same blood every day might get boring in the future.
Asura had gained another alliance from Longbottom after healing Frank and Alice Longbottom.
He now has two life debts, Astoria and Mrs Greengrass. Asura knows that Daphne, Alice, and Frank's life was never in danger, so he didn't receive a life debt from them. Asura also got a new title from Daily Prophet, 'Miracle Doctor'.
Magic will only recognise when Asura saves their lives or when they are in danger.
It's 1988; a year has passed since the incident with the gods. Tomorrow, Asura is going to Hogwarts to start his teaching career.
Unfortunately, Asura now needs to live in Hogwarts, where he will be given a chamber attached to his office room.
Asura also asked Dumbledore for a favour, if he could renovate the office himself, and Dumbledore agreed after Asura showed he has knowledge of runes.
"I will meet you on the weekends, and I can teleport here by myself whenever I want." Asura told them gently seeing Ela, and Bella was depressed.
Asura had plans for Hogwarts and needed to spend some time there.
Asura then apparates to platform nine and three quarters, where Hogwarts Express will be. Of course, he could apparate to Hogwarts, but unfortunately, it is forbidden to apparate on school grounds. So teachers come by the Floo Network.
The train is also used for other purposes than just transportation. Throughout the journey, the train registers your magic signature in Hogwarts enchantments. So next time, you will be allowed to use floo or apparate if you were given permission from the headmaster. The castle doors will also listen to you.
Asura chose a separate compartment for staff. He then picked up a book about Soul Magic and transfigured the cover to make it look like he was reading a different book.
"*Knock* *Knock*" Asura's compartment door was knocked on by someone.
"Come inside, Dora" replied Asura to the knocking.
Opening the door revealed a red-haired woman with a pouty look.
"p(◝～◜)q… How can you always find me, even when I am trying to sneak." said the woman with red hair.
Turning to her, Asura noticed her red hair. Dora had been coming to his house every weekend, and Edward, her father, accepted the offer to make Nymphadora and Andromeda Tonks into Black. So Dora is now Nymphadora Tonks Black, but she liked to be called Ms Black instead of Tonks now, and Asura already suspected the reason.
"You can never sneak up on a ninja, Dora." Asura replied.
Dora then sat down next to him, making sure their arms touched a bit.
"Why do you always call yourself a ninja?… Fine. I am really excited to see you in school, Asura." Dora replied.
Asura and Dora have gotten close, so Asura lets her call her by his name.
"I am also excited to meet your friend Dora." Asura replied, giving her a charming smile.
Dora's mood worsened while she had 'friends' at Hogwarts. She wasn't close to anyone, and all girls call her 'sl'ut' behind her back because they think she is stealing their boyfriends away with Metamorphmagus.
Dora is every hormonal boy's dream. She can change into anyone, make her chest bigger, or change her face into a celebrity. But unfortunately, she only ever had a chance to have two snogs with some boys. Sadly, everyone she meets is always asking her to change her features.
Asura pulled her into a hug. Then, with his arm around her shoulder, he said "I am sorry if I brought up a sensitive subject. My door is always open… and if any boy gets touchy-touchy, throw a jinx I have taught. And I will handle it."
Dora smiled. She was still shy, so she didn't do anything other than nod.
Asura released her from his grasp and said "I see you are keeping your hair red… Is there a reason behind it?"
Dora's hair suddenly turned between red and pink, with her face turning also red.
"N-no… I just started liking red" Dora replied, stuttering.
Asura gave her an eye smile like Kakashi and said "Do not forget Dora… Be proud of who you are and don't care about what others say. Then you can shut their mouth when you are strong enough."
"Like what you did to the people in the Wizengamot? Everyone saw how you destroyed those old coots." Dora said, remembering seeing it in the newspaper.
Asura chucked and soon started chatting with Dora about general things.
"15 minutes to Hogwarts" announced Hagrid.
Dora and Asura were already in robes and uniforms.
…
Arriving at Hogwarts, Asura went towards the teacher's section with Minerva McGonagall waiting to greet new students.
"Hello, Professor Black" greeted McGonagall.
"Hello to you, Professor McGonagall" Asura greeted back.
McGonagall then informed him where the teacher's section was in The Great Hall.
After making his way after thanking her, and arriving at the section, he chose an empty seat where he could sit.
"*Screech…*" Fawkes rushed after sensing Asura's magic in Hogwarts. His entry surprised everyone, since he rarely comes out, and many students can say they haven't had a chance of seeing Fawkes unless they are called to the Headmaster's office.
Seeing Fawkes close to the new teacher, many were surprised. Almost all the purebloods knew Asura since he had appeared in newspapers many times while also appearing in Wizard's Weekly Magazine.
Dumbledore stood up after seeing everyone arrive at the Great Hall, smiling at Asura. He then turned to the crowd and announced.
"We are happy to announce we have a new Defense Against Dark Arts professor. Please welcome Mr Asura Black."
Asura stood up and said "Thank you, Mr Dumbledore. You can call me Professor Black, and if you need anything, please let me know. My door is always open to any students."
Students then clapped and soon got busy when the food arrived.
…
Teaching at Hogwarts is pretty tough, except for Asura, who uses Wood Clones for all the paperwork, and his real body just teaches one of each class per week.
All the free time he spends in the library, where he has unrestricted access to all books, even the 'restricted' section.
Asura didn't make an attempt to go either to the Room of Requirements or the Chamber of Secrets because he felt Dumbledore observing him every second. Fortunately, Fawkes got on his side long ago, so Dumbledore couldn't spy with Fawkes.
Asura knows Dumbledore has no bad intentions, and he was just keeping track of where I spend my time and what books I read.
Interestingly, Asura found a curse in the DADA/his office, and he easily removed it. The curse magic signature resembled Tom, and many memories he got from the Horcruxes were unclear, so he might have missed this one.
Asura already informed Dumbledore that news and found out Dumbledore wasn't surprised after hearing the news, while he did fake his surprise at the news.
Asura slowly assesses Dumbledore's personality as he spends time with him.
Dumbledore is a good man with high morals and doesn't back away from giving his life to the right cause. But he is also willing to sacrifice anything for the greater good, even if it means an innocent life will be taken away.
Dumbledore resembled what was portrayed in the cannon. He is manipulative and controls Harry's life, preparing him like a lamb ready to be slaughtered.
The more time Asura spent with Dumbledore, the more he liked him. His character closely resembled Hiruzen Sarutobi, but leaned more towards the good side.
Asura found out some things from Dumbledore's office. Devices were monitoring a young magical signature and many things resembling blood wards.
Asura guessed that those devices were to monitor Harry James Potter, of course, they were hidden away properly, but it wasn't difficult to find them with Byakugan.
Soon Christmas came, and many students went back home to celebrate. However, some students also stayed either to study or orphans or just wanted to hang out with their friends.
Asura received many gifts from fans. Unexpectedly, there were many chocolates mixed with love potions. There were also letters from wizards and witches thanking him and asking some questions.
Asura didn't mind replying to some wizards and witches, answering their questions.
After finishing his letters, he returned to his palace and celebrated Christmas with Ela, Bella, Nirn, Shikamaru and Kreacher, who shyly joined.
"Nirn, I would like to meet someone who is close to me" Asura said, looking at his pet dragon Nirn.
Nirn didn't like one-bit hearing Asura have someone close to him, but he nodded his head.
Soon a large lion, which resembled a Nundu with wings, appeared.
Asura has 'upgraded' Nori with the bloodline of Nundu and a Dragon, while sharing some of his blood.
Nori, who was previously yellow, turned bright gold with red stripes on his hair and body.
"ROAR!!!" Nori roared with excitement to finally come outside.
"Grr… roar" Nirn gave a tiny roar to show his superiority.
"ROAR!" Nori replied with a massive roar which could shake a mountain.
Nirn tried to use his flames, but sadly Nori is almost immune to all kinds of fire, even Nirn's special flames, and the same could be applied to Nirn.
But after a while, Nirn and Nori got used to each other and started playing.
Nori acted like a big brother, and Nirn acted like a rebellious brother.
Bella and Ela have long gotten used to Asura's 'surprise' so they just accept it as it is.
…
In an office with books ranging from physics to magic sat a man in a chair facing the mirror.
"Quirrell, tell me about supposed Lord Black." A voice came out, asking the man in a turban.
Quirrell has been very stressed recently after losing a chance to teach DADA. But fortunately, his Lord was not angered, saying he would get the opportunity next year with confidence. Today, his Lord woke up from a long slumber.
"His full name is Asura Black Uzumaki, Lord of House Black and Peverell. He suddenly appeared around two years ago and had shown his intelligence by writing two books. One is about new advanced charms, and the other is about basic alchemy. He also created a potion which can control Lycanthropy temporarily, and users can also control their transformation on a full moon." said Quirrell.
The voice stayed silent for a while and replied "What of his power?"
Quirrell stayed quiet for some time. He has been avoiding the subject of Asura for some time while his Lord was weak and resting most of the time. The reason he was hiding the news of Asura is not that he wants to protect Asura. No, Quirrell is scared that the Dark Lord would possibly ask him to attack Asura.
"H-He is a powerful wizard. He can control Fiendfyre, there was an attack on him, but he killed all the attackers with Fiendfyre, shaping it into a Nundu." Quirrell replied.
"Killed?… Interesting… to be able to control and also shape Fiendfyre… who attacked him?" asked his Lord.
Many wizards nowadays either disarm or hurt enough to capture Dark Wizards with the influence of Dumbledore and the ministry, who were banning all kinds of spells, naming them Dark Arts. Only Auror's are known to kill Dark Wizards nowadays.
Quirrell knows he has messed up. He would get mad if he told the Dark Lord his Death Eaters were killed. But his Lord would see if he lied. The only reason his thoughts weren't being read is because his Lord is still weak.
"D-Death E-Eaters" Quirrell replied nervously.
Instead of receiving pain or harsh words from Voldemort, his reply surprised him.
"I see… Is there something you are hiding from me, Quirrell?" Voldemort asked, sensing the nervousness in Quirrell.
Quirrell always feared him and was nervous most of the time, but Voldemort sensed he was hiding something this time.
"Lucius M-Malfoy is sentenced to Azkaban for being a Death Eater." Quirrell diverted the topic to the latest news.
"AAAAA" Screamed Quirrell as his head felt like being stabbed by multiple needles.
"YOU hide this information for me?" questioned his Lord furiously.
"My Lord… I didn't know if it… AAA…. Was important or not. You never told me anything about any news… AAA… about Death Eaters." Quirrell said as he was in pain.
While it was Voldemort's fault for not telling Quirrell how important Malfoy was, one thing he hates is being questioned.
After some time, Voldemort controlled his rage and asked "What of Malfoy House?"
Quirrell was breathing heavily, and his head was clouded with pain.
"Malfoy became a vassal for House Black. AAAA"
