Hello everyone, there are a few things I want to ask you here. I want to make a change in the story. I will make Rubeus and Veronica's relationship as if it never happened. I will delete the r-18 parts I wrote. I would appreciate if you express your opinions on this. Honestly, I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote those parts.
I realise this section is short. That's because the parts I just mentioned have been deleted.
I would be happy if you support me on my pa(tre)on account.

4 August 1943
I was sitting in the garden of Veronica's house, looking around, and I was looking at the egg in my lap. According to both Radagian and Veronica, the egg might have inherited one of the unique characteristics of lamassu. That is, hatching only in the presence of someone they can bond with. So I decided to carry the egg with me everywhere.
We had been here for about two days waiting for Dumbledore, who had written to us and said he would be here in a day or two. Unfortunately, we couldn't take him to the pocket-sized mansion, which left us no choice but Veronica's house in England. I wonder who Dumbledore was going to bring. Probably Nagini from the Fantastic Beasts films. Considering how long it took him to find her, she must be in pretty bad shape. She's probably having trouble retaining her human mind and form. According to Radagian, the ritual must be performed before the maledictus loses her humanity completely. Considering Nagini's age, it makes sense that she wouldn't have much time.
Veronica said, 'Dumbledore is at the door, we'd better hurry. We might have to do the ritual right away.'
Rubeus ' What do you mean?'
Veronica 'He's got a snake with him instead of a human.'
'I'll let Dumbledore in, you go to the ritual room. We'll do the ritual as soon as she changes from animal to human.'
Veronica turned around and left while I put the egg in my pocket dimension and started heading towards the front door.
I took a deep breath and opened the door. Dumbledore was standing right in front of me. Next to him, a huge python was curled up and looking at me. As soon as I felt the python, I realised that it was still protecting the human mind and that it had not completely disappeared, but it probably could not protect this human mind for more than a few hours. The situation is quite critical.
Rubeus said, 'Professor Dumbledore, welcome. Please come in.'
Dumbledore entered with a smile on his face, and the snake slithered in beside him.
Dumbledore said, 'Welcome, Mr Hagrid. No Mrs Raskalov?'
'Mrs Raskalov has gone to the ritual room.' I spoke while looking at the python. 'Given your friend's condition, we thought you would want to perform the ritual as quickly as possible. All the ingredients have been prepared except your friend's blood. Mrs Raskalov will begin preparing the mixtures once she has the blood.'
A look of relief crossed Dumbledore's face.
Dumbledore said, 'I am glad to hear that. Frankly, when I saw Nagini's condition, I was worried that the ritual might not go ahead.' Then a look of realisation came over his face. 'Oh, how rude of me. I haven't introduced you. Nagini, this is Rubeus Hagrid, a student of mine. Hagrid and Nagini are old friends.' Nagini nodded as if to say hello, or so I took it. It seems to be quite difficult to understand what a python means.
God, we must look so strange from the outside.
Rubeus said, 'Nice to meet you too.' Then, turning to Dumbledore, I continued, 'It's enough that she's lucid during the ritual. At least that's what Radagian says.'
After signalling for them to follow me, we made our way to the ritual room. The rest was simple. We took Nagini's blood. We started to prepare the ritual materials. Since I had already done this once, I did it quite quickly.
And by fast, I mean about two hours. It took me about two hours to draw the ritual circle on the floor. Veronica and Dumbledore were with me the whole time, supervising me. Unfortunately, they couldn't help me draw the circle because they weren't going to take part in the ritual.
Rubeus said, 'Everything is ready now. All we have to do is complete the ritual.'
Dumbledore 'The sooner the better, we don't know how long Nagini will remain in the human mind, we must hurry if we don't want to do it all over again tomorrow.'
Rubeus 'I'll get into ritual clothes.'
10 minutes later Dumbledore and Veronica left the room and left us alone.
Rubeus 'Ehh, let's get started.'
After taking our positions, I started the ritual. 20 minutes later, I was alone in the ritual room with a naked unconscious woman.
I called out to Dumbledore and Veronica who were waiting outside the room.
Rubeus said, 'We're done. Mrs Raskalov, please come in first.'
When Veronica came in, she saw Nagini lying unconscious on the floor and immediately called for a blanket and covered her. Dumbledore, who followed, approached with concern when he saw Nagini's unconscious body.
Dumbledore 'Is she all right?'
Rubeus said, 'I don't feel anything wrong, just tired, even tired, and I feel that the python inside her is getting weaker and the human is getting stronger.'
Just then Veronica, who had completed her diagnostic spells, joined the conversation.
Veronica said, 'The diagnostic spells tell me the same thing. She's just extremely tired. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if he sleeps for a day or two.'
Dumbledore seemed relieved as a result.
Rubeus said, 'Let's take her to her room.
Dumbledore, 'I'll go too.'
Rubeus 'Won't you stay a while, Professor? You've been helping to prepare the ritual almost from the moment you got home.'
Dumbledore 'Unfortunately, I've been neglecting my responsibilities for some time now, I need to get back to Hogwarts as soon as possible.' He continued with a small smile on his face. 'I hope the headmaster hasn't sacked me.'
'Then good luck to you, professor.'
..... A few hours later....
I was sitting in the lounge, looking out of the window.
When I heard Veronica come in, I spoke without looking at her.
Rubeus 'Any change in your condition?'
Veronica 'No change and you know it.'
She was right, I'm aware of Nagini's condition thanks to the mental link between us. She's recovering faster than I expected. She'll probably wake up by morning.
