章 21: •A Hairy Heart
It had been a few weeks since he sneaked into the Slytherin common room.
He had met a few more times with Draco after that and they had become closer, He hadn't tried to change his ideas yet, because their friendship still lacked more confidence and development. She had only been able to meet once with Daphne, she seemed to be always busy in her free time, focused on looking for any useful information, however, you had to know that finding something would be a difficult and long process, there was much to look for and little whether it really served, moreover, also depended on whether what she found in the end would actually be effective for the specific curse her family suffered, she seemed to know as well, but that did not prevent his search from being less intense.
Today, as usual for the last few weeks, he met up with Hermione to follow and spy on Snape. As Extimum and Hermione spent their time mainly studying or practicing magic, they did not take as much time to follow their target unlike Ron and Harry with Quirrell, they used almost all of their free time that they did not spend doing some of their tasks to follow it.
At this moment, Extimum and Hermione were sitting in a nearby corridor and which gave visibility to the door through which Snape would exit at the end of his classes, the place was a rest area that was far enough away not to be visible unless that you will look specifically or seek to find something.
Extimum and Hermione had had to practically run out of their classes once they were finished, in order to get to this place that they had already agreed, in this way they could really be attentive to the situation. Normally even if they ran it would be difficult to get there on time, but they were lucky that Snape was a potions teacher and he took a little more time for the students to finish organizing their tools or other items after class, so when they got there they had a few moments before Snape came out.
Since there was still a while before he came out, they had a casual chat while they waited.
Hermione: "Aren't you hanging out more than usual with the Slytherins lately?"
Extimum: "Oh, if you wanted me to spend more time with you you just had to tell me, it would not be a problem to take more time to accompany you."
Hermione: "Hmp, who said he wanted to spend more time with you, I'm just saying that you seem more and more friendly with them, it's not like you don't know about the enmity between the two houses; especially with Draco, he seems especially hell-bent on causing problems, you yourself are aware or have you seen his behavior, even if we exclude Draco, there are also his friends or Pansy, that girl is especially annoying, always with her disdainful act ".
Extimum: "Hmm, given the difference in ideals in general between the two houses, it is difficult that both can really be friends, but it is not impossible to make their relationship at least neutral or passive between them, I will try to do something about it in the future, I still don't have enough influence to try to mediate. " Extimum said contemplatively, however, by the time he spoke again his tone seemed to take on another kind of intention.
Extimum: "for now ... you shouldn't worry so much about them ... when you still have to worry about yourself ...". As Extimum slowly spoke his words, he closed the distance between himself and Hermione.
Hermione: "why… wait… ah look, Snape came out." Hermione was at first puzzled by his words, but as she understood the apparent intentions and their approach, her bewilderment turned into slight panic only to notice Snape emerging from the dungeons out of the corner of her eye and seize the moment to change the subject.
Hermione stepped back a bit and pointed in the direction of Snape who had just left and was walking away.
Extimum: "Oh, you're right, let's go then."
Hearing the clear change in attitude, Hermione sighed a little and turned to follow Snape. Extimum's approaches to her had continued after they came back from Christmas and made her a little nervous inexplicably.
However, as they prepared to follow Snape, Extimum stepped forward and approached her from behind and whispered in her ear.
Extimum: "However, Snape won't always come out at the right time." Extimum put those words close to her ear as he walked past her to follow Snape.
Hermione: "**'hii'**". Hermione gave a little cry and jumped a little when she felt him so close unexpectedly, the warm breath in her ear and the apparent implications of his words did not improve the situation for her.
Extimum: "don't get too distracted or we'll lose it."
Hermione was still a little suspicious of being with him now, but she still followed him because they had to spy on Snape, to tell the truth, such a method with which they followed a teacher and more one like Snape, would not have been effective, would they have been easily discovered, however, Extimum used his illusion magic on them to go unnoticed and keeping their distance it was possible that they could really spy on him, otherwise, being Snape a powerful wizard and quite skilled at that, it would be difficult for him not to notice two students who followed him and more in a castle where he has been working for years.
On the majority of occasions that followed him, they made sure to use places that were not very visible or far away, in addition to doing a preliminary study to find out good places to observe him based on the places he frequented. From their observation they knew that he only going to his personal office, visiting very occasionally the Slytherin common room, the dining room, Dumbledore's office or in a potions room in the dungeons, on other occasions she had seen him observing Quirrell from a distance. , but since there was no contact between them they could not know anything else. Of course, some of the places they frequented were difficult to access or know the situation, but in such cases they prepared means to know what was happening from afar, for this they had to ask for some enchanted tools from the Weasley twins; Extimum had tried to use his 'truci cursu' spell, but the result was not good, Snape immediately felt that there was something wrong and destroyed the spell, luckily that Extimum was far away and Snape could not identify what it was at the time, taking it as some student making a joke on him, otherwise things could have gone quite wrong, although Snape clearly got angry on that occasion and made a slight scandal, but could not know that what he felt was the intrusion into his shadow.
Extimum and Hermione followed him all afternoon.
...
They stopped with their spying as dinner time approached.
Extimum: "sigh, today was a very boring afternoon again, following Snape who does nothing special. You know what, we will do something different today so that at least all this spying has been worth it."
Extimum: "Tutu?" Extimum asked tentatively into the air in front of him.
After a few seconds and while Hermione was questioning her actions, there was a little Pop and a house elf appeared, it was Tutu.
Tutu was a house elf who worked at Hogwarts, Extimum had met him when he went to find food in the kitchen for Hermione and him before the Troll attack. Generally Tutu would not respond or could not even hear Extimum since they do not have a connection between them, however, since they knew each other and Extimum was at Hogwarts, Tutu could hear him thanks to the magic of the castle, that said, since they were not connected, Extimum couldn't order him properly, it was Tutu who had come willingly.
Tutu: "Tutu greets the Young Wizard, Tutu is happy that the young wizard still remembers me."
Hermione was surprised by the sudden appearance of a house elf, she knew of the existence of such beings, but had not had direct contact with them, likewise, she did not know that there were house elves at Hogwarts.
Extimum: "It is also a pleasure to see you again, I called you to see if you could help me with something, could you bring our food for dinner to another location?".
Tutu: "Tutu can do it and Tutu is happy to help the young wizard."
Extimum: "Thank you."
Tutu disappeared after another Pop.
Hermione: "how can you call an elf ... woah?" Before Hermione could complete her question she was pulled by his hand and away from the place.
Extimum did not give her time for so many considerations and dragged her to a nearby room that she knew.
The hall was a classroom that was not currently used, probably for some subject that was not currently being taught or just one of the many that were empty throughout the castle.
Upon entering, you could see a large room, as most of them had enough space for students from two houses of a certain grade to attend. The hall was a bit dusty, but not too much, you could tell that the elves had cleaned it at least a few months ago, they had the usual tables with chairs and a space for the teacher, as well as some cabinets.
After seeing that the classroom was really empty, Extimum took out his wand and began casting spells from one side to the other, by the time he finished, the previous classroom had been completely transformed.
The current room was clean, with a warm atmosphere, there were rugs on the floor and a large table in the center along with two seats on each side, the decoration also became more welcoming, the large space also seemed smaller with the decorations, giving a more closed and intimate atmosphere, especially since, as night approached, the candles on the table complemented the atmosphere very well.
The place seemed perfect for a romantic dinner, it is not like if you asked Extimum he would deny such a notion, the design was made based on such an idea by putting together some images of his memories and the decoration that is usually used in his house.
Hermione on the other hand was a bit annoyed by Extimum's act of ignoring her, however, as she watched Extimum cast spells from one side to the other and how the previous classroom was gradually transformed into what she now saw, she was surprised .
The transfiguration classes had already advanced far enough that the first-year students knew how to do various transfigurations, but not to such an extent, much less with such freedom. She knew that Extimum already had a good base and his knowledge was more advanced, after all, she had already seen him throw an 'Alohomora' without chant, but this was on a completely different level.
Hermione: "Wow, I didn't know you are so good at transfiguration, everything seems so detailed and beautiful."
Extimum was also admiring his handiwork as he made sure nothing was missing, however when he heard Hermione's praise, a sudden idea lit up in him.
Such an idea was for a business, he had been thinking for a while some ideas to start his own business, but he had not come up with a really good idea that he could carry out on his own with his current skill and knowledge that could generate good profit for him, without However, when he heard Hermione's casual praise he came up with an idea that might actually work.
In the current magical world, the style and design were quite outdated or without enough refinement, although there were exceptions there, but the general style was quite poor and neglected, the example of this are the houses or establishments that magicians inhabit, the facade External is often neglected or totally lacking in style and design. Although the old design has its own charm, but the current magicians seemed to take their places for granted, thinking about it, Extimum could establish a company that would be dedicated to the exterior and interior remodeling of such places.
You could implement all kinds of styles and designs, accompanied by various decorations and set everything in it in some spell or artifact that would allow you to apply it to the homes of magicians.
One would have to be careful with the designs so that there were no issues with the fashion or the tastes of wizards, but it wouldn't really be that difficult for Extimum, he had some memories from his past life and had seen the muggle world, if he set modern designs or Even in the old-fashioned way, you could use your ideas and magic to create fantastic settings fit for a magician.
The current wizard dwellings are based on simple houses of the time that were poorly made and then haunted, only the most current have better designs or those who were eccentric with their homes in the past have homes that are noteworthy and still They could be improved, like the Shadowless mansion.
Now he only needed to research how to do it and get an adequate start-up capital, the problems about how to establish the business he would think about later.
Extimum: "You just gave me a great idea Hermione, but it will be for later, come, have a seat." As Extimum spoke he had already taken a chair and he waited for Hermione to come over to settle her in her seat.
Hermione: "Good." Hermione had already passed her previous annoyance after seeing the place, besides, she was also hungry.
Shortly after they both took their seats, Tutu appeared again, this time carrying with him several plates of food that floated around him.
Tutu: "Tutu has brought dinner, Tutu hopes the young wizards will enjoy dinner." Tutu began to place the plates on the table and then the food was served on the plates.
Tutu: "Tutu will now retire."
Extimum: "Thank you Tutu, in the future I will pay you a visit to thank you appropriately."
Tutu: "oh, the young wizard must not bother, Tutu did it because he wanted to, Tutu is happy to help the young wizard." After finishing his words, Tutu disappeared again with a Pop.
Extimum: "Okay, let's enjoy our dinner."
Hermione: "Okay." Hermione decided not to be so insistent with her question about the house elf, she would ask after dinner.
The dinner consisted of turkey and potatoes, some cakes and pumpkin juice or fruit juice, there were also some other complements, it did not lose with anything that would be served in the large dining room.
As they ate, Extimum observed Hermione and reflected on his relationship with her.
At first, his approach to her was mainly driven either by necessity or because he had an appreciation for her future beauty, in addition, she was a very hard-working and intelligent witch, if we except her origin and lineage, in fact, she is an excellent match as a couple. With all that said, it was more his desire for her than there was any feeling.
According to he has spent time with her, the closeness between them not only grew on her part, but Extimum also came to appreciate her as a friend. Their light flirtations have been his attempts to not only declare his intentions but also to get her used to him and facilitate the rapprochement between them in the future, that said, although Extimum found it difficult to understand his own feelings, but at least he knows from his observation of the emotions and feelings of others, that not only does he like her, but he also wants her for himself.
Hermione: "Why are you staring at me so hard?". Hermione said as if she had been intimidated by his gaze.
Extimum: "Hmm, appreciating the view maybe?"
Hermione: "Hmp, even now you're in the mood to make fun of me." Hermione didn't take his comment seriously, she wasn't confident enough in her appearance to even consider such words seriously.
Although the current Hermione, could not be considered ugly, but given certain factors, she was mainly poorly groomed, her teeth had not been fixed yet and people tended to ignore her faces when looking at them, they were not really that big but they did stick out and given that his parents wanted to fix them themselves when he was older, they had not been retouched, on the other hand, his hair used to be quite free, perhaps he lacked more care or some spells or elixirs and it would be more appropriate, having said that, the rest it was mainly her lack of confidence from past experiences, that made her take such an approach.
Seeing that she was not taking her words seriously, Extimum rose from his seat and approached her.
When he was close enough, he cupped her chin so that it would direct her gaze to him.
Extimum: "why not believe it? It is perhaps ... What do you not used to that others allude to your beauty? ... Or do you distrust it? Because what you and others cannot see ... I can see it and I personally like it. "
Moving closer to his ear, Extimum continued.
Extimum: "it attracts me a lot, also, how to forget your taste ...". He said the last thing again raking one of his fangs into his neck.
Hermione jumped a little and shuddered again when she felt the raking of his fang, she had forgotten what happened in the afternoon and she let him get closer to her again.
Hermione:" y-you think so?". Hermione asked nervously, almost in a trance looking at his eyes, they always seemed to hypnotize her a little and make her lose in them.
Extimum: "of course". While saying this last statement, Extimum had almost put his two fangs to bite her, although he was not a vampire, but the sensation was very stimulating both physically and mentally.
Hermione felt a sudden tingle run through her body, the sensation felt very good and familiar… very familiar.
Hermione: "w-wait, ahem, thanks for dinner, we'll talk tomorrow." Such a feeling triggered certain memories in her body and woke her up from her involuntary reverie, quickly standing up from her seat and walking away from Extimum, she said goodbye and ran out of the room.
Extimum: "it's a shame ...". Extimum also realized that like Hermione he had gotten carried away a lot at the moment, acting a little different from his usual self.
Extimum: "Well, let's fix this place."
Extimum then proceeded to transfigure everything to its original form and place them in place, while doing so, Tutu came and took all the dinner plates, by the time he finished, the room looked almost the same as it did when they entered, except that it looked clean.
When she finished, she left the room and headed for the Ravenclaw common room.
Extimum: "It was a good evening, now I need to find an initial capital for my business and find a way to make it happen, that way, by the end of the year I will be able to implement it."
Thinking about it and as he headed towards the entrance of the tower, he changed direction and headed somewhere else.
Upon arrival, he found a familiar tapestry, he had visited it before but had not returned here since then, the tapestry was of trolls trying to dance ballet.
Extimum: 'there is nothing wrong with trying if it can really work'. Extimum had some ideas as to the uses that the requirements room could give it, he knew its general idea and had a memory about what seemed like fantasies regarding what this room could do, so he decided to try if it would work.
Walking three times in front of the wall opposite the tapestry, Extimum thought about what he wanted.
Extimum: 'I need money, I need money, I need money'.
Extimum: 'when I think about it more, it's strange that I need money when my family is one of the richest'.
After Extimum passed the wall for the third time, a door materialized in the previously empty wall.
Extimum: 'well, we'll see if it really works out'. Thinking this far, Extimum walked over and opened the door.
Upon entering the door there was a room, it was small and dark, on the floor there were some bags and a chest in the corner of the room.
Moving further in, he took a bag and emptied its contents into his hand.
Extimum: 'there are about… 15 galleons, not bad for a single bag'.
Extimum searched the other 2 bags and there were 20 and 18 Galleons respectively.
After emptying those bags, he fixed his gaze on the chest.
Extimum: 'with the above I already have 53 galleons, it is a good amount, but I still do not know how much the simple assembly of the business and the production of my product will cost me'.
Putting his latest expectations of getting money into the chest, Extimum opened it to view its contents.
Extimum: 'wow, there are about 200 galleons here, who could have lost so much money?, although the fact that he is here because someone has lost it is not certain, but I also don't think he took it from others, otherwise it would be a lot plus'.
Extimum: 'this should be enough to at least get started, as long as it's not too expensive in initial production'.
Putting all the money in his star-patterned expandable bag, Extimum closed the door and headed back to the Ravenclaw common room.
When entering the common room, he saw many students in the place, it was still early, so most were in the common room.
He planned to go to his room to rest early but then he saw Steve waving his hand for him to come closer, Steve was in a group of freshmen and sophomores, most were girls in the group; that explained the emotional smile on his face.
Since it was still early, he did not reject him and approached.
Steve: "It's getting harder and harder to find you, you weren't at dinner, where were you?"
Extimum: "I was busy doing other things, besides, I see you almost every morning and in class, I'm not so elusive." Extimum said while smiling a little more than usual but without completing the smile.
Steve: "Merlin, it's the end of the world! Something bad must have happened! I just saw Extimum smile." Steve almost screamed in alarm
Mitchell: "calm down Steve, just smiled a little more, it wasn't a complete smile, the world won't end so soon." Mitchell seemed to have come from somewhere and said.
Steve: "sigh, you're right I think I was a bit too upset, after all Extimum has a Hairy Heart".
Extimum just gave them an emotionless look as he listened to their mindless ramblings.
Steve: "Oh well, changing the subject, Extimum, I called you to meet some colleagues here, although you probably have already seen them, but you may not know them."
Steve: "Do you see this pretty girl here? Her name is Padma Patil." The girl Steve presented was a girl with Hindu features, her hair was black as well as her eyes, her skin was brown, her features were quite attractive and outstanding among the majority for her exotic character.
Padma: "Hello." She seemed a bit shy about her unexpected introduction after Steve had finished his drama.
Extimum: "It is also a pleasure to meet you, I am Extimum Shadowless".
Extimum: "Actually, it's like you say Steve, it's hard not to notice someone so charming and exotic."
It was hard not to meet her, after all, twins are not common and at Hogwarts there aren't really that many students, it's hard to miss them, even if you didn't see her in Ravenclaw, you would have seen her Gryffindor twin.
Steve: "of course, your friend here, he knows all the pretty girls and he doesn't forget to introduce them to you, also look, you already have her shy just with your look, I really think it would be very bad if you smiled frequently."
Mitchell: "Steve, you should be more discreet, you will end up scaring Padma with your words."
In fact, Padma seemed to have blushed a bit at Steve's words.
Padma: "Well, I'll retire for now, good night." Padma withdrew along with another girl quickly in the direction of the girls' dormitory.
Mitchell: "See Steve, you only know how to bully girls, maybe that's why you got chased before Christmas."
Steve: "ahem, don't talk if you don't know anything, besides, it was clearly Extimum with his predatory gaze."
Steve: "speaking of which, I can understand your hair, but what about your eyes?"
Extimum: "they are family traits."
Steve: "Does your mother have eyes like this too?"
Extimum: "No."
Steve: "Your father then?"
Extimum: "No."
Steve: "then ...". Steve's gaze grew more suspicious, but before he could ask, Extimum answered.
Extimum: "Maybe my grandfather, but I've never met him."
Extimum: "well, enough trying to know more about me, my eyes are natural that's all you need to know, well, I'm leaving too now that you're done."
Extimum walked away after that and headed to his bedroom.
