Chapter 82:

[A.N.: Alright, I've decided to stop at 100. I'm content with this much. Here's the extra chapters.

The interactions in this chapter are all in French. But I've translated them into English for the reader's convenience :-)

It's a big chapter. I'm posting early in good faith that you'll still give me powerstones after the renewal. Keep those coming for more early chapters like this one, otherwise, I'll no use posting it early

Enjoy. ]

As I was about to try and make friends with my little sister, Durant interrupted me.

"Charles- " I looked at him bewilderedly. Was my name Charles before I was Kidnapped?

Durant glaced down at the name written on the Parchment in his hand, thenhe said,

"Chris. First of all, let me check your body for curses and hexes. Then tell us if you know anything about your kidnappers and how you got here. " After all, he is, but an Auror.

I hesitated a bit, "Alright... let mom do it." After hugging her, I can trust her to not try and hurt me.

But Durant, the head of French DMLE and a dueling champion pointing his wand at me in close range? Even trigger might not save me from getting hit by his spells.

Camille smiled at me but then looked a bit sorry for Durant.

Durant looked quite hurt by that statement, so I had to explain.

"Look, I don't know anything about kidnappers. The only thing I know is that, I was found drowning in the Thames river in London when I was about a year old. So, I don't remember you. The only thing I know about you is that, you apparently targeted English people in a lot of your duels." I said, thus explaining that my reasons for being scared were justified.

Camille looked blamingly at Durant and he sighed.

Camille then caressed my head as she said, "You don't have to feel scared of your dad. Actually, the ones who kidnapped you killed you also killed your grandmother, who had taken you out to the hospital at that time."

"What? They killed my grandmother?!" I asked in anger. Alright, they've made it personal now. After coming to this world, I've somehow developed a soft spot for grandmas. It's decided. Whoever did this, whoever it is, I'll kill them. I'll kill them all.->

"Who was it?" I asked quietly. Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

"After your grandmother's death, your father and grandfather did everything to find you and the culprits. The only thing we found out was that they were wearing skull masks."

"Death Eaters." I said, sealing their fates in my mind.

Camille nodded. "That's why your father used to attack certain English people in his duels. So, don't fear him. They took a lot from us. Your Grandmother, you, and eventually, your grandfather."

She explained further.

"Before you were kidnapped, Voldemort was winning the war for the control of magical Britain. But France wasn't much affected by it since we decided not to get involved. But Voldemort decided to attack France by having the grandson of the minister kidnapped for blackmailing. Those days, your grandfather was devastated, waiting for them to contact him while mourning your grandmother's loss. He had the power to fight them, being the Minister of Magic, but you were taken hostage, thus tying down his hands."

Camille quietly wiped the few tear that were coming out of her eyes.

Durant continued where she left. "But after that, Voldemort suddenly died one day, thereby leading to all the death-eater scum either getting apprehended or going into hiding like the rats they were. Without Voldemort, those cowards didn't have the guts to ask for Ransom on the French Minister of Magic's grandson."

"Thus, he even resigned from his post, hoping that the rats would come out of their sewers after this, but there was no contact. F*cking cowards! those son of-."

Camille's one glare shut him up. As she covered little Esme's ears with her hands. She looked at her wand lying quite out of her reach on the table.

"Because he didn't want me meeting you guys yet. That old man is a manipulator. He just thinks I'll always be very grateful to him and after I inherit our family fortune, thinks that I'll help him with anything he asks. You see, it's very easy to make a deep impression on young children."

"...." x2

There. I said it. This is for my conviction to never let Esme meet Dumbledore face to face. Not untill she has her shields perfect. My image as a Dumbledore fan would be shattered if he read her mind. Dumbledore would be heart broken, won't he?

I looked at Esme. The little girl was quietly sitting in on her seat, sensing the serious atmosphere. What an smart and understanding girl.

Looking at her wearing pyjamas with cartoon dragons, I made a decision and called out Nyxie who was playing around outside the manor. Nyxie was allowed in these wards as long as I am allowed, since we have a magical bond. Our magic is practically the same.Though it's actually quite a complicated process to explain and I don't time, so I won't monologue about it.

I asked Nyxie to hide the rainbow colours and cancel the disillusionment charm. Now, she'll appear just like those miniature dragons in the first task. Just bigger, the size of a small cat.

Her existence is going to be revealed to the school as well soon. Just that no one would know about her magic and abilities.

"Esme, do you like Dragons?"

"Hmm.." little Esme bobbed her head up and down.

"Then, let me show you a dragon!"

Then, I walked back to the window, and spread my arms, just then, Nyxie came in and landed on my shoulder.

"Esme, say hi to Nyxie, the Dragon."

Esme round eyes widened and her mouth formed into an 'o'.

Both Camille and Durant looked at me and a dragon sitting on my shoulder with widened eyes.

As I approached them, little Esme's shinning eyes were fixed completely on the Nyxie. But I didn't go to Esmi first. I first took Nyxie to my parents. I don't think they'd let Esme even touch Nyxie before making sure she was safe.

"See? She's completely nice and we'll behaved." I said, scratching Nyxie's scales right where she liked it. Nyxie purred, expressing her contentment as she snuggled into my neck.

Showing them Nyxie won't cause me any problems since the rainbow colour isn't showing on her. And she won't do any magic here. And besides, I can't always keep her in hiding. I didn't show her at Hogwarts at that time because then Dumbles would've started asking questions like, "Where did you to find her??"

And I'd never want him connecting dots between the disappearance of Hagrid's and a unique dragon becoming my familiar.

Besides, there's a lot to gain by showing her here. First one is getting close to Esme. The little girl is so cautious of me. I really want to play with her and have her call me big brother.

The second one is I can get a rest from my parents who still have a hundred questions to ask me.

I picked Nyxie up and slowly placed her on my mom's shoulder.

"See? She harmless. Now, let me and Esme play with Nyxie. Ok?" I asked and turned back to at Esme. The smart girl had picked up on the situation and unleash her Trump card, those puppy dog eyes.

'Stop it! Stop it! I can't take it anymore! You can have whatever you want!' - it has that kind of affect of people.

After both of them had made sure that Esme would be safe, I took Nyxie in my hands and smiled shadily.

'Hahaah, plan making friends with Esme finally begins.'
