"Revernate"
Richard waves his wand over tonks face, this time the magic working simply better. It no longer had the feeling of being chained down.
'It seems that the solution I thought was, indeed correct'
Richard had defeated his defeater, and therefore becoming free of the restrictions. However at what cost, Richard didn't know yet. Seeing Tonks wake up, Richard pointed his wand at her, once more. " looks like you woke up. And you lost."
Richard was not in the mood to have any more talks. He had won. No matter what had happened, in the end only the results mattered.
"Take out your wand" Richard ordered, to which Tonks reluctantly complied. "Now clasp your hand with mine".
As soon as Richard said those words, Tonks seemed to have understood what he wanted. However she was unable to refute him because of the wand pointed straight at her face.
"You do this, or it's saint Mungo"
' Now to make an unbreakable wow'
"Do you Nymphadora Tonks, agree to let me finish my previous action on you, as long as it does not involve assault or any other inappropriate actions?"
"Yes" she replied unwillingly. Her only source of relief being, that the wizard in front of the had not used in any dark magics or any of the unforgiveables on her, or the fact that he didn't carry the presence of a dark wizard.
"Do you, Nympadora Tonks, agree to here by agree not to reveal any of my secrets or my actions that I have committed, or yet to commit through vocal or any other manner, directly or indirectly to anyone?"
" Yes"
A second golden string of fire flew from Richards wand before wrapping around their arms, linking them.
"Finally Do you Nymphadora Tonks, agree to accept any reasonable request that I, Richard Cloverfield ask you to do during my days at Hogwarts?"
"Yes"
The third golden flame left the tip of Richard's wand before circling their arms.
" Well, now that's done ..." Richard clipped his hands with satisfaction, " ...turn around and lift the back of your shirt."
Richard pulled up the back of Tonks's clothes before placing his hands once more on her warm back.
'structural identification'
This time the power flowed more aggressively ,reaching faster and deeper than it had reached before. He could feel everything happening in her body as well as identify everything happening in her body. The blood, the oxygen, presence of magic in it, even the constraints of the unbreakable bow were all laid bare in front of Richard as he pushed forward deep and fiercely. They sat like that with their legs crossed for nearly 15 minutes before separating. However, unlike the time before, Richard's face now supported wide smile
He understood the concept of controlling the body with magic rather than od. And it was all that he had hoped for, and more.
"Are we done here ?"
Richard was brought back from his fantasy land by an irritated Nymphadora Tonks.
"Yeah "
Richard replied off-handedly while waving her off. He wanted more time to comprehend as well as figure out ways to use the said magic he had identified. He wanted to dive into that immediately, so he had no use for Tonks at the moment. In fact, having her with him would only serve him as a hinderence.
"You can go ahead, eat something or study a book or whatever"
Richard didn't really care about what she was about to do as long as she kept his secret.
" Oh, hell no! you are going to tell me everything"
However Tonks seemed to disagree. While she was scared to death by her experience just recently, She understood that the wizard infront of her didn't really care much about her. He didn't have any ill will towards her. So she plucked up the courage, because she really wanted to know what in Merlin's pointy beard was going on here.
"But you didn't win the duel"
Richard replied, a bit annoyed." so I don't HAVE to tell you anything"
Tonks remained persistent. "You don't have to tell me anything. But now that I made a vow, an unbreakable one mind you, the least you can do is let me in on whatever you are doing. "
Richard finding this statement to be a little convincing decided to answer a few questions. There was also the fact, he may or may not have a favourable impression of her thanks to his first life, making him a little lenient on the clumsy girl.
"Go ahead, ask what you want" he said before adding last note. "But make sure to ask only the important ones, I don't have time to answer a lot." Richard wanted to get back to his studies, and his side reserch.
"All right then," she replied ,once in agreement before asking her first question.
" Who exactly are you ?"
"I am Richard Cloverfield. An orphan. You should have heard my name when I casted the unbreakable vow" Richard replied his answer. "I am a first year Hogwarts student from the Gryffindor house. "
" You're a first year?" Tonks asked with surprise. "You look like you're at almost a third year. And how can you be a Hogwarts student when you can cast spell even professor's don't teach? I mean they don't teach how to cast the unbreakable vow here now, do they? "
" I have my own ways" Richard simply replied.
"Second question. What did you do to me? "
Richard explained his actions in a short summary in a way for her to understand easily without eliciting futher questions.
"I used a spell to see how your ability worked"
"Was that what the blue light thing was?"
Tonks asked, in question for Richard to nod his head in agreement.
"How old are you really?" She asked, not entirely believing his age relative to his grade. Richard thought for a moment before answering with a little mischief, his voice morphing into a deep and grand. "I, am the reincarnation of great and powerful being, who possessed eternal youth and an immortal body, yet met tragic demise in the hands of trickery of an unworthy foe at a tender age. So if you take my mental age I should be around thirty years old."
"Why are you here?"
" I'm here because I want to become the greatest the most powerful being on earth"
"So you need to go to school to do that ?" Tonks asked confused, only for Richard to reply, " Well, everything's got to start at one point, right?"
"What do you plan on doing to me?" She asked, this time with a bit of fear. However Richard didn't intend to keep her terrified. "I really had no plans to do anything to you" he replied, making Tonks stare at him with an even more confused face. " I only wanted to see how a metamorphomagus body works. If you had stayed unconscious, then I would have already be gone from here."
He paused for a moment, then added an after thought. "It would've been the same result, if I knew how to use memory charms."
Tonks relaxed a little bit after hearing he had no malicious intent towards her.
"Then what do you plan on doing? And what do you know about what happened this Halloween?"
Tonks followed up her question with another. Richard thought for a bit before he decided to reveal that much to her.
" I want to become become someone great. Greater than Dumbledor, Greater than Grindlewald, Morgana or Merlin. I don't want the world to simply remember my name as a legend. No, I want the entire world to be defined by me. I want to become an indelible mark in time, making the world usher a new era under my name."
There was no insanity in Richard's eyes, but clear conviction and determination.
"And I will dispose of anyone who tries to get in my way." His eyes locked onto Nymphadora's eyes, as he stared at her soul, making sure she understands that message. "And that troll was unfortunate enough to do just that."
The tension that built up till the moment dissolved away however with Richard's next sentence.
"Now that all those unpleasentaries are out of the way, do me a favour and help me try to memorise the twelve uses of dragon blood. "
He ignored Tonks flabbergasted expression and continued.
"I got the tests coming, and I need to make sure that I maintain passing grades in potions."
