Bab 116: The-Garden-They-Lost (II)
/You can fix my arm and tongue?/ Himera asked in disbelief.
/Yes/ Harry confirmed and Himera didn't know what to say. She had tried to get her arm and tongue fixed by Healers, but it was impossible to regrow limbs or organs with conventional means of Magic. Yes, if she had her arm and tongue then the Healers could have reattached them. /So, do you want me to?/ Harry's question brought her out of her musings.
/Of course, I want to!/ Himera immediately accepted the offer without missing a beat. /Does this have something to do with your Mutant powers?/ Himera asked curiously.
/No, just good old Magic/ Harry signed back before pointing his Wand at her mouth. Himera opened her mouth, she didn't know if he needed to see the stub of her tongue or not, but she wasn't going to take any chances…
"Fair warning, this might hurt a bit" Harry said only for Himera to nod her head in understanding, and after getting her confirmation, he cast a Spell to open the wound on the stub of her tongue. As soon as the blood started to flow out, he started to regrow her tongue. He noticed that it was a clean cut, so the one who removed her tongue did it with the proper tools and experience.
It only took him a few seconds to completely regrow her tongue and Himera immediately started to move around her tongue, making unintelligible noises… Harry had to admit, growing a tongue was much more straightforward than he was expecting it to be. "Take it easy" Harry urged her.
"A bis eird" Himera immediately gasped in shock. She didn't mean to speak, but she ended up speaking what was on her mind. It has been so long since she had a tongue and having one now all of sudden would require getting used to. "An I hab a nife" Once again words flowed out of her mouth and hearing her own voice after so many words felt really weird.
"What are you planning to do?" Harry asked as he raised his brows at her.
"I vant to shee if my ealing orks on ma ew ongue or not" Once again a string of mangle up words flowed out of her mouth. Harry simply gave her a look before he pulled out his own combat knife and handed it over to her… He was hoping that she wouldn't try to remove her newly healed tongue to test her Healing Factor. Thankfully, she simply poked her tongue out of her mouth before making a small cut on her tongue and the cut healed itself within a second.
"That was your healing factor?" Harry asked curiously only for Himera to nod her head.
"Yesh" Himera admitted before she once again stuck her tongue out of her mouth and removed the tip of her tongue completely with the knife, making Jacklyn wince a bit, who was watching the duo interact in complete fascination. The tip of her tongue grew back on its own within a second. "Ncredable…" Himera breathed out with a grin on her face.
Previously, she had tried to regrow her tongue with her Healing Factor by making a cut on the stub of her tongue but it never worked, but now that Harry Potter had somehow managed to regrow her tongue, her Healing Factor was working on her tongue too… Now, she wouldn't need to get worried about someone removing her tongue, ever again.
"I am glad that you like it" Harry said with a grin on his face and before Himera could realize what she was doing, she had her arms wrapped around him. At first, Harry stiffed a bit but relaxed when he heard her grateful sobs. He could also hear her mumble thanks from time to time… After a whole minute, Himera finally released him from her tight grip.
"Sank yuu… Yuu hav no idea what thiss meansh to me" Himera thanked him with a grateful look on her face as she kept wiping off her tears with her sleeves… She was also sporting a 1000-watt smile as this was probably the happiest day of her life in years.
"Don't mention it, by the way, how did you lose your tongue? If you don't mind me asking" Harry asked curiously as she never told him how she lost her tongue.
"It'sh lright… They anted me to chast Masic ilently, but I alwaysh nded up oicing my Spellsh under ressure, so they emoved my ongue to olve the roblem" Himera explained with a shrug and Harry had to admit, it was kind of extreme, but what else could he expect from an organization who were promoting cannibalism.
"I do have some more questions for you, but before that, let me heal your hand" Harry said as he pointed toward her fake arm. Himera was a Mutant with a super strong Healing Factor, so there was no way that Harry wasn't going to try to win her over… He wanted her to trust him and to earn the trust of someone as paranoid as Himera, he would need to play all of his cards right.
Himera was so excited that she didn't even bother to say anything after hearing his words… She simply rolled over her right sleeve before she started to remove her fake arm which was strapped around the stump of her right forearm. As soon as she was done, she extended the stump toward Harry, so that he could start working on her arm.
"Alright. This might hurt as I would need to open your wound" Harry warned before casting the first Spell to open her wound. Himera didn't even flinch in the slightest as he opened her wound… It was pretty clear that she was quite used to pain and after he was finally done opening her wound, he started to regrow her arm…
Yes, Harry was using Fleshcraft to regrow her arm, but it was someone else in his place, then they would have taken more time as they would need to take measurements for her other arm to keep her new arm symmetrical to her original arm, but Harry was doing the calculations inside his mind on the go thanks to his beyond genius level intellect. It took him almost a minute to completely regrow her arm along with the fingers.
Regrowing her tongue was much more simpler than regrowing her arm as for her arm, he had to regrow her bones, tendons, cartilage, different types of muscles, and finally, skin along with all of its complex layers if wanted her arm to be close to the original, and anything less than perfect wasn't acceptable for Harry.
"How does it feel?" Harry asked as she started to move her wrist and fingers while staring at her arm in complete awe.
"Mazing!!" Himera breathed out while inspecting her arm with a lost look on her face and Harry simply smiled at her words. "I would have healed your eye too, but an eye is more complex than an arm, and I want to avoid any unnecessary risks, but I am sure that I can heal your eye within a couple of months" Harry added while giving her an apologetic look.
"Od! I on't know what to ay… Yuu hav lready one so uch fr me… I, Imera Uznetsov ill be ternally traeful to yuu. Eck!! Yuu on't even eed to pay me… I ill work fr yuu, mpletely ree!" Himera growled out with a determined look on her face and while it was somewhat challenging for Harry to understand her mangled words, he was able to understand what she was trying to convey.
"You don't need to work for free and here" Harry pulled out another pouch filled with 50 Galleons and handed it over to her, but before Himera could say anything, Harry started to speak again. "I am a man of my word. I said, I will pay you for your services and that is what I will do, and the pouch is for the story, additional 50 Galleons" Harry explained with a grin and when Himera looked like she was about to protest again, Harry cut her off before she could get anything out of her mouth.
"I simply healed your arm and your tongue because I wanted to… Think of them as an incentive" Harry waved his arm with a grin, making Himera nod her head. "Good, now that all of that is out of our way, let's get on to business… Here is the Magical Contract I have prepared" Harry said as he pulled out a rolled-up parchment from his robes and handed it over to Himera. Thanks to his research into the Binding Contract fiasco, he knew how to create a Magical Contract.
Himera didn't say anything as she accepted the Contract. She had realized that arguing with her new boss was useless and he would simply have his way… To be honest, with him being so nice to her still felt completely surreal to her, but she wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth. She opened the Contract and started to read it over. It was pretty simple. She will be working for Harry Potter and she won't be allowed to reveal any of his secrets even if she leaves his employment and he will be paying her 30 Galleons per month for her services. (Bonuses excluded)
This was a lot better than she was expecting it to be… So when she was done reading the Contract, she simply looked up and stared at Harry with a smile… She didn't remember the last time she had smiled like this. "Here do I ign?" Himera asked and Harry simply pointed to the spot where she needed to sign with a quill…
<Line Break>
~~Timeskip~~ (Half an hour later)
"Well, were you planning to go easy on her like that or did you already know that she was a Mutant?" Jacklyn asked after Himera finally left for the Alley of Druids to buy herself some new clothes and armor along with a Magical eye with the gold she received from Harry. She never had the gold to buy herself a Magical eye and since Harry couldn't fix her eye right away, she decided to get herself a Magical eye as missing an eye was severely hampering her combat skills.
"I didn't know she was a Mutant, but there is a reason why I kept Contract so simple and flexible… I didn't want to make her feel I am oppressing her. I wanted to make her feel that I am the good guy and she wouldn't regret staying with me" Harry explained in an indifferent tone. "Her being a Mutant definitely changed some things, but she is now much more than a simple expendable pawn" Harry mused coldly.
"You know, you are fucking devious" Jacklyn declared as she poked his shoulder with a pout on her face.
"I know, but I am not inhuman… The people… Hydra is going to pay for what they did to her" Harry said as he tightly clenched his fist and intense amounts of Magic started to roll over from him.
"Count me in!" Jacklyn declared. There was no way she was going to sit out from a fight again. "So, what now? Should I ask Morsi to bring out the Wizard?" Jacklyn asked only to get a nod from Harry… Jacklyn called Morsi and asked her to bring the captive Wizard. The house elf nodded before popping away and moments later, she returned with the captive Wizard in tow. She dropped the Wizard before popping away.
Harry simply waved his hand and raised the man in the air before casting the Rennervate Charm on him… The man awoke with a gasp and his body was petrified before he could even realize what was happening to him. When a flash of realization finally appeared in his eyes, Harry started to speak…
"Good morning, I hope you had a nice nap" Harry smiled at him politely, but Hans Muller knew that the boy was anything but polite. He knew that the boy was hiding his true nature behind the facade of a 14 year old boy. "You see, I have never done this before, so it might hurt you here and there… Okay, let's try this. Legilimens" Harry said and Hans immediately felt a mental probe brush against his metal barriers.
"That sounded so fucking wrong" Jacklyn mumbled with a grimace, but her words went ignored by both Harry and Hans as Hans would openly admit that he wasn't having a good day if he could speak or even scream… The first probe was gentle, but the second probe simply broke through his shields like it was made of a wet paper bag and his memories started to flash in front of his eyes.
At first, Harry simply inspected his shields before he decided to maul through them… He did have the power to do that and thanks to his beyond genius level intellect he started to get the hang of the Spell… Legilimency was an extremely difficult art, but Harry was already getting so good at the Spell within moments, which should have taken anyone else in his place months to achieve.
Harry felt a bit sad when he found that Hans had no idea about who placed the Contract. His group simply decided to accept the Contract from a secretive organization known as the Guild. If Harry was being honest, the Guild interested him and that is when a terrible, but amazing and brilliant idea popped into his mind…
