51 Windfall 1

As we were given free time today, you could see students loitering in the hall even early in the morning. As for me, after sending a letter to Headcrusher about a business deal with Gringotts concerning a certain Basilisk. Since my elves work constantly with animals, they have learned to harvest them perfectly. Knowing that the job will be done perfectly I made them harvest the basilisk and prepare it to be sold.

After passing two hours with the girls in the library and the common room, I have Sunny pop me in the territory. Making my way in the large butcher house, I came in front of an already harvested Basilisk, seem that they have worked on it all night. On the side was cleanly arranged unbreakable glass jars. As the wound has been minimal and the beast immediately is taken away, I didn't lose a single drop of its blood, everything has been suck in those magically expanded jars. At its side, a similar one full of a dark liquid was also present. The venous sacks weren't damaged in the slightest so their full content was now it the jars.

After that, raws upon raws of harvested organs and strip of flesh cut from the entire muscles. The skeleton was the only thing still present outside of any jars along with the different layers of skins perfectly and carefully wrapped. With their sheer number, the elves have been able to make the monster levitate as other peel it of, the result? Full complete and undamaged skins.

The only damaged part was the brain and the superior jaw, that I swiftly correct it. If they want to buy the skeleton to a completely undamaged one will sell better. When the still present elves see me, one of them was sent with a small stack of paper. When I take and look at it, they have repertory the entire harvest. I have twelve imperial gallons of blood (54 liters), two times five galleons of venom (2*22.5 liters), the complete internal organ systems stored, seven times 140 square feet of one of the most spell-resistant skins and the complete skeleton of a 70 feet long 1000 years old Basilisk.

Nodding at them, I made a copy of it and let them store the other. After that, I asked Sunny to pop us in the square. Since I have time before lunch, I wanted to start my own project, my home. It not that I don't like the manor, but it too impersonal. I think that once I had mastered my own magic I will do something about it, surely transform it into an enormous Library or something.

What I have in mind, for now, is a simple two stories house, but it won't be like any other. Since I came from two worlds I will try to take the best of both. I want a modern house, that for sure, along with the commodity of the magical world. So that means no plumbing. I will use runes for that. The water will be drawn by a moisture gathering tank and redirect in the house via runes circles. Same for the draining, the water will be sent in another tank where filter runes will be installed, the cleaned water will be sent back to the first tank while the waste will be deconstructed in molecules and elements that I would be able to collect on regular time. Because of Magic, I can live in an environment clean house, there now wait I will pollute my territory with wastewater and industrial product.

I won't need cleaning tools have I would have an elven rebellion if they learn about them. I will need to hunt for the best mattress to absorb them and being able to create as much as I want. The first thing I do for my new house is to excavate the ground to create a basement.

Putting both hands on the ground, Alex sends his commend in the earth, making a square hole with compacted walls of earth. The hole was made to leave a 5 meters profound, 60 meters long and 20 meters width when the walls would be added. All the rock found in between where layered on the floor before he had the one in his storage. Done, he jumps down and claps his hand on the uneven floor, creating a smooth and unique slab of rock. With more of them, he soon recovers the four other walls.

With walls made, the previous shelves present in his storages appears. With five alleys four wide, he put two metallics with stone pillars shelves one-meter profound in each side of them. What was stored in them was the supplies thing he had in the storage since the start. With six hundred meters cube of space, he could easily empty the section inside. Going to the next one, he empties the different ores he had, followed by the rocks ones. In all, he keeps with him his library and is an edible part of his supplies. In the three-fifth free part of the basement, he made appear all the possessions of Dumbledore for the elves to go through, strips enchantments, and charms and separated to organize them.

With his storage finally empty of all the junks, the elves would be going through everything and store them better. Using some more rocks, he made a stone stair before a stone roof was made, supported by the stones pillar of the shelves. Taking a moment to link the three empty storage space in one, he then made a little cabin to go in the basement, keeping the opening.

While he had tons of wood, he wanted a stone-based house, so he would have to wait for a little before starting to build it but he wanted to inscribe the runes at the same time, thus avoiding to need to demolish and re-construct if need.

"Sunny, let get going, I still have time before lunch, I want to start going through the think in the room of requirement."

"Yes, master." The elf pops them in front of the tapestry on the seven floors.

Thinking at a room with all the lost money, gems, broken pieces of furniture and weapons, passing back and fro three times, a wooden door with an iron frame appears, letting both of us enter. What appears in front of use was a mount of golden Galleon rising to the knees, overshadowed by shining sliver Sickle and horizon of bronze Knut. The amount of lost money over the last thousand years is enormous. On its left side was towering piles of broken wood, threatening to fall any seconds. In the right, glittering gems of all sizes and colors before shining and rusted iron and steel armors and weapons at the back. As I only asked for broken things, there is a possibility that there is some left, but that would be for later.

Directly going to the piles of broken types of furniture, I take out a wooden plank cover in sturdy lather and with a clip sheet of paper. A ball pen liked with a leather strap was in its indentation. Giving it to Sunny, I put my hand on the tower of wood and close my eyes before it changes in shape, turning in one-meter cubes stacking on each other. As all of the broken pieces of furniture are already separated by their wood, all I need to do was to go for each different stacks. Behind me Sunny was counting the numbers of woodblock for future archives, yes I'm the type of guy who likes his thing organized and accounted for, bites me.

For the next half hours, he turns stacks of broken pieces of furniture in wooden cubes. Before Sunny could count the last stack, Alex takes some block to the side, creating crates of the same size with a grid of 23*23, 34*34, and 46*46 inside. each of those three would be used to store Galleon, Sickle, and Knut with a capacity of 129,605.00G, 375,700.00S, and 1,036,840.00K each. Unsure of how much he would need for them, he made ten of each first. Taking them in his storage, he near the stack of coins, take the crates out and store the coins. Once the Galleon stored, he would be able to arrange them as he would so it was neat piles of Galleon that enter each slot until they were full.

Once the first was full he uses another and repeats until all the Galleons where stored. Of them, he gains four full crates and a smattering of left Galleon. The same thing happens with the Sickle for eight full crates and finally the Knut. For them, he needs to turn the left crates for Sickle and Galleon in Knut ones them all, ending with eighteen full crates and piles left in his storage for the threes types coins.

Using the same idea, he turns blocks in empty crates and separates the gems in size and further by colors. Done, he turns to the last hurdle, the broken metallic pieces. This was was rather rapid as everything was either human iron, steel, silver, and gold or goblin steel. The jewels encrusted in pommel where extract and stored in yet another crate.

In the end, all that was left in the room was 4 crates of Galleon, 8 crates of Sickle, 18 crates of Knut. 1 crate for 5 different sized gems, 1 crate for jewels, 15 blocks of iron, 8 of steel, 2 of silver and 0.5 of a block of gold, the final 1.5 blocks of goblin steel completing it. As for the woodblocks, he gains 658 of oak, 256 birches, 68 of acacia, 3 of rosewood, and 0.75 blocks of sandalwood. Everything was sent in his storage when it has been accounted for and noted by Sunny.
