Chapter 152: Peculiarity of egg and Chris's scummy actions

Chris looked at the Dragon egg in surprise. And the thing that surprised him was,

'How is this kind of bonding possible?!'

'there should only be one magical bond.' he recalled.

Magical bonds.

A person or magical creature can only have one magical bond at a time. It's not something concrete, but there has been no evidence of anyone else having more than one bond.

Which is why, Chris was doubly surprised when he found that the creature inside this egg had traces of both his magic, and Dora's magic! It's in a very early phase of bonding, and it's unable to progress further than this for some reason.

That means, if this succeeds, then not only the creature would have two magical bonds, but he would tooone with Nyxie and one with this.

If it was just him who bonded twice, then it's understandable, since no other wizard in recorded history is known to the control over pure magic. But what about this creature? What's so special about it? What would be the result of bonding?

Now Chris was truly intrigued. His earlier dirty thoughts were forgotten already. This must be

The creature's bond with Dora with Dora was much stronger, since there was a lot of Dora's magic in there. His magic was also there, but it was all due to the gold foil. Since if the bond did get completed, he would have felt it. Upto now, he hasn't noticed anything significant, but he can recall some anomalies now that he's trying to find them.

He turned to Dora, "Hey, how did you bond with this creature?" He asked curiously.

"?"

Dora looked at him in surprise,

"How did you notice? Well, nevermind,"

Dora supposed that Chris must have noticed something since he already has the experience of bonding with Nyxie. So she told him how she did it,

"Well, I did many things... I daily hugged it sleep, talked a lot with it, patted it from time to time, etc, etc, then, after repeating this cycle, I slowly began to feel its emotions, sometimes, I'd feel that it needs warmth, so I'd cast a warming charm on it, sometimes, I'll feel that it's bored, so I'll tell it stories, it's sometimes in pain as well. Fortunately, the pain has now almost gone due to the constant absorption of those gold foils..." Dora went on and on about her brooding of the egg.

'Well, that explains it,' he thought, somehow feeling jealous of the egg. He began to diagnose everything he could.

The first thing Chris could clearly notice was that the magic he could feel was very faint. This egg has been taking pure magic for some time, even if in very small amounts. That means that all the magic is being used for something, maybe to heal something, or some birth defect.

'This thing needs a lot of Magic to overcome whatever special condition it has.'

While Chris was busy in this, Dora looked at him eagerly,

"Hey, you wouldn't find anything just by touching it. I just want to know why this little thing isn't hatching quickly as Nyxie did. I've shown it to some Magical creature specialists, but none could help without knowing which creature's egg it was. And I wasn't going to tell them that since I haven't even told Moody which creature's egg it is."

That was indeed a problem for the general wizard folk. For example, if they have a dragon egg, then they need fire produced from burning magical trees at the very least. But, if they put some other creature's egg on fire, they might obtain omelet instead

(Except for a Phoenix egg)

Chris nodded happily as he patted Dora on the back, "You did very good by not even telling Moody. Hmm looks like even you realized that even if he's on the good side, he'll do bad things for the greater good."

Dora nodded. In fact, Chris had told her many things about Moody, and the fact that he might try to recruit her to the order, which he did. Thus, Dora can believe his words then she might be mainly seen as a fighting force, a weapon. And the same will happen to the egg.

'Especially if its mother is a Horned Serpent.' She thought.

"So, can you ask Nyxie to help, or do you know anyone trustworthy who can help us in this case?" She asked.

'Is there any who can do better than this young master?' He thought arrogantly.

Chris nodded, "I know just the person! He's very amazing and he's also trustworthy. You'll love him!" he said with a straight face.

"But first, tell me everything about how you got it, whose egg it is, and what you've done with it upto now," Chris demanded. He needed to know everything before taking action.

"Fine," Dora was dying to tell him anyway. Thus, she told him all about her adventure, and as she expected, it was worth it to tell him in person. His reactions were priceless.

"THE F*CK?! A f*cking Horned Serpent?! That's protagonist luck! I'm just glad you came back alive."

Chris only now realized just how his loved ones in both lives must have felt when he pulled off reckless stunts.

Thus, the Horned Serpent, with its limited prophetic abilities, called to Dora, since it must have somehow perceived that Dora can somehow save her child.

Dora is fortunate that the Horned Serpent didn't try the violent approach, and was quite gentle. Otherwise, she could have been in danger since the area was clearly warded. Why else did no one ever discover it? Some powerful wizard or witchmost likely Isolt Sayremust have warded it.

'Thus, pure magic is most likely the solution to this problem,'

With that, Chris put his hand on the egg and started to put pure magic into it. He noticed that the egg's surface wasn't allowing the magic to go in easily, which must be the reason why simply wrapping pure magic-filled gold foil didn't work too well. You have to manually and consciously pump in it. It was the same for Nyxie's case.

Once the magic reached inside, it started disappearing very quickly. He nodded in satisfaction.

'It seems that things would soon get sorted out with this and I'll finally be able to discover just what is the anomaly that's causing the creature inside to show so many different complications, even being able to bond with two wizards at the same time.'

But! Him being the sleazy scumbag he is, he's definitely going to take advantage of this situation.

While giving the egg the pure magic, he furrowed his eyebrows as he put on a worried expression.

"What happened?!" Dora asked urgently.

"It's trying to bond. Just like Nyxie. But"

"But what?! What's wrong"

"But, it also needs to bond properly with you! This bond is a three-way one. Thus, we all need to be connected!" He said in a no-nonsense way.

"... What do you mean?" Dors still couldn't understand that she is tricked by the devil here.

Chris had an incredibly solemn expression on his face, "Just follow my instructions, we'll save it. Are you with me?" He asked.

Dora nodded determinedly, "Tell me what to do."

Chris nodded. He reclined comfortably on the bed, with his back resting against the headboard., "First of all, you should change positions so that we're in maximum connectivity. Sit here," he said as he guided her to sit on his lap.

"H-Hey! If you're kidding about this" She warned but Chris cut her off.

"I'm not kidding, focus!" He ordered in a commanding tone as he made lean her back on him and he rested his chin on her shoulder.

He then put the egg on her lap such that his arms were wrapped tightly around her, "Hold the egg with both hands."

"Ohkay.." Dora put both of her hands on the egg and instantly felt and comfortable sensation throughout her body starting from her hand as the residual pure magic got absorbed by her.

"Woah" she muttered as she melted into Chris's embrace.

"How is it?" Chris whispered in her ear.

Dora shuddered, "It's "

"Does it feel uncomfortable? We'll have to stay like this for a while for uh proper bonding~"

Dora shook her head.

'It's not uncomfortable. It's too comfortable!'

'Life is good,' Chris thought as he sighed in satisfaction.

He's going to enjoy these days as much as he can since he's got a lot do this year. Time magic at Hogwarts, going around the world with Fleur, and there's also Sirius Black.

.....

A.N.: The egg's going to have something peculiar which would explain dual bonding. Some might already be able to guess what from the given clues.
