Chapter 24: Chapter 24: Hogwarts, of Giant Snakes and Memories.[2]
Aster, Madoka, and Amelia walked behind the old wizard as he keyed the visitors to the castle wards. They walked down the corridors to pass students who were in awe of the trio that looked like seventh years or recent graduates, but even the senior students could not make out the identities of the visitors.
The senior boys were enamored by Amelia and Madoka's appearance while the girls were fawning over Aster's looks. To them the three of them had walked out of the storybook, some senior witches tried winking at Aster but no one dared approach any further because of the two beautiful women beside him.
The school was busy preparing for the Quidditch Tournament that would start in the next hour, hearing this Madoka wanted to watch the game, and they walked towards the stadium where they could also meet Amelia's niece.
But before they could a witch in emerald-green robes with black and ash hair tied on a neat bun came in with worry-filled emerald eyes that were pleading for help. The trio recognized the woman as the Deputy Headmistress, Minerva McGonagall.
"Albus, there has been another..." she could no longer continue after seeing that the Headmaster was not alone and the people in his company were people she did not recognise.
After looking a bit harder, "Amelia, is that you?"
"It's good to meet you again professor, this is Aster, the talk of the town, and beside him is Madoka, our friend." Amelia smiled, keeping a perfect expression.
"It's good that you are here, I was planning to ask Albus to consult you about the recent happenings." Minerva started but was again interrupted, but this time by the old headmaster.
"Let us not worry our guests with little problems now, what happened to the Tournament, we were about to go to the stadium." But this time Minerva interrupted him to even the score.
"The Tournament has been canceled Albus, there has been another attack. We can not up the children in harms way anymore." The Scottish witch raged.
"Attack? Wait, Madoka, you hear that?" Aster asked Madoka, before he could continue with his sentence, he messaged them in the chat to play along with him.
"I did, it's big and it's slithering, hissing sounds, a big snake perhaps?" Madoka analyzed with a calm face.
"What? a snake? how big?" Amelia asked looking outraged.
"Somewhere above the fifty and below eighty. Why did you keep that big of a snake in the castle?" Aster answered Amelia while asking the headmaster with a pointed glare.
"Aster, are you two sure it's a snake?" Minerva asked.
"We are, but what is that doing here and what attack and danger, could you elaborate, and Albus, silent till I say otherwise, and Amelia, calm down you can curse him after we find the snake." Aster placated the brown-haired woman that was every bit eager to hex Dumbledore to the next century.
....
After Minerva spoke of the details, Amelia was naturally enraged, the acting was no longer needed when she heard all of this.
"Albus, you are an idiot for someone who lived so long. Our department exists to solve problems like this, you might be strong but you can't guarantee the safety of everyone from that what I think is a basilisk, a cockatrice does not slither and a gorgon is not that big."
"Your idiocy has landed us with a 1000-year-old basilisk that is being controlled by a maniac that wants muggle-borns out of the castle. You damned idiot, tell me why should I not call Rufus this instant and have your beard shaved clean?" Aster asked with a sinister smile.
"You must understand Aster, this is but for the greater good." The old wizard tried to bullshit Aster and Amelia.
Aster simply looked at the old man as his eyes glowed and the air around them chilled as wisps of ice flew around Aster, "You don't get to decide the greater good, every human who dared to, died a pathetic death and you don't want that, right Albus? We spirits don't like tainted souls, don't become one Albus. There is no going back after you go black...remember that well."
"Calm down Aster, this old man has a lot to answer, but let's get that snake out of its hole and deal with it before another accident happens," Amelia said with a relatively calm voice.
They spent the next few hours as Albus and Amelia used the scrying spells as they tried to locate the snake monster, till they finally located the pipes it was traveling through. They warded the pipes and sealed off all the exits for the beasts and once they were done with it, they walked out of the Headmaster's office to look for the entrance to the 'Chamber of Secrets'.
"I call the dibs, you guys watch," Madoka smirked as they left the headmaster's office to check on the students.
They saw two boys and a gaudy-looking professor walking toward the ladies' restroom. Aster just looked at Amelia, "Amelia, I am quickly going to arrest that man for pedophilia, you guys carry on while I freeze him in a popsicle real quick."
"That looks like Gilderoy, the ponce from our year who became an adventurer, was an incompetent bloke but the brightest when it came to narcissism and marketing. Let's check it out before you freeze him." Amelia offered a peaceful solution.
"If I go in and see his naked ass fawning over two little boys, I will freeze the damn perv till his neck and put him on display at the Diagon Alley and not even Malfoy and his bunch can save him then," Aster growled, but inwardly he was quite surprised at his acting skills.
They walked in and saw the three jump into a pit inside the washroom. Aster simply made the stairs and walked down while the other followed him. Walking down he found the professor/perv holding his wand against a boy, "now say goodbye to your memories Mr. Potter, OBLI..."
Before he could finish chanting, his body down the neck was encased in an ice cube, "I would not do that if I were you, besides, you might want to keep calm unless you have a thing for a frozen death." Aster's soft voice rand from behind.
"Alright boys, what are you doing here, way past your bedtime? It's a few hours to sunrise, care to elaborate on that?" Aster asked the 2/3rds of the Golden Trio.
"We found out what the Slytherin's Monster was, and also that the girl who died the last time it was opened was Moaning Myrtle. So we asked her and then things happened and you came in." Harry answered while Ronald just nodded.
"So, how did you open this pitfall of an entrance?" Aster asked.
"I am a parselmouth, the entrance opened when I asked it to open in parseltongue." harry said a bit hesitantly.
"An interesting ability, try dueling or healing arts with that. You will be way ahead over your peers with that, it's nature's blessing gifted only to a few, cherish it well." Aster spoke with a kind voice to try and fix the boy's trauma.
"So, let me introduce myself, I am Aster Frost, assistant and secretary of the Head of DMLE. Amelia is right behind with Albus and Minerva, have a seat." Aster simply waved his hand and the floor beneath their feet was covered by opaque ice that removed the rodent remains from view and three chairs formed magically.
The boys were shocked to see such a beautiful display of magic. Ronald wowed and asked, "how did you do it without a wand?"
"I don't need one like you humans, I am a spirit. I can use magic as naturally as you breathe, you guys can do it too, but you need to work really hard at it till your magical core is so attuned perfectly with the magic, that it no longer needs a focus to channel your magic." Aster explained with a calm voice.
"Aster, don't tell that stuff to children, we are better off without having children causing magical riots here and there, it disturbs the trace system." A strict voice came from behind him and in came a beautiful woman followed by another.
The boys had to admit that they were the most beautiful women they had ever seen in their twelve or thirteen years of life.
"You heard the lady, so just practice under supervision if you don't want to trouble her and land in Azkaban for that." Aster chuckled and ruffled the hair of the kids.
"Wait, you are the Winter Spirit that everyone has been talking about, is that castle of ice really yours?" Ron asked.
"It sure is kiddo, you can come to play sometime in your summer holidays. But write me a letter before you do, okay?" Aster smiled at the boys who were excited about the prospect of visiting the castle of Ice that's everywhere on the news.
"Aster, can we deal with the snake?" Amelia asked impatiently.
