Chapter 32: 32. A free elf
The next day, Alexander sat in his office at the Ministry. His spectacular show had come to bite him in the ass. Heads of various magical factions or ministries were either coming to greet him or join him. He had to be present to meet them all.
Just now he sent the vampire king away. They had signed a pact to let vampire kids learn in Hogwarts. The Vampire kids would be given magically produced blood from ambient magic. Courtesy of Alexander's new invention, a machine that could turn the ambient magic in the surroundings into blood of any flavor. The adult Vampires would also be allowed to buy these machines at a discount and now they were also allowed to work in magical establishments. Though there were strict laws against any aggression too.
Werewolves were given similar choices. Their kids will be provided with a free yearly shot of superior Wolfsbane potion. The normal werewolves community is also given the offer to buy the potions from his shops at a discount.
"Haaah... So much work. I hate this," he sighed and cursed.
"You get what you sow... They treat you like a god now. Even bigger than Merlin. I received reports that all magical ministries in the world have decided to create a giant statue of yours in their respective places. Her too, I heard someone talking about replacing the Merlin's statue with yours." Edward said.
"Argh... They should do this after I'm dead. It feels weird right now." Alexander grunted.
"How's Hogwarts going?" He then asked.
"Well, it would take a lot of time to rebuild the school. The 3 headmasters have decided to postpone the Triwizard tournament" Edward answered.
"NO! I won't let anything stop Hermione's rise to fame. She's supposed to replace me. F*ck it, I'll rebuild the school myself. Let's go Ed" He stood up and got ready to apparate.
"Haha... I knew you would do this. They are probably already waiting for you," Edward laughed.
...
*POP*
They disapparated at what was supposed to be Hogwarts' main entrance.
"Haha... welcome my friend, we were just waiting for you," Dumbledore said, with a lemon lollipop in his mouth.
Alexander confusedly looked around at the small crowd. Hermione, Snape, Sirius, McGonagall, Hagrid, and other Professors were there.
"Am I really that easy to predict?" He amusingly asked.
"YES" all of them replied at the same time, making him flinch. He scratched his head in embarrassment. It made them heartily laugh, and Alexander was happy to have lightened the mood.
"Alright guys, out, all of you. I am going to fix Hogwarts. If there's anyone inside, tell them to leave the castle."
Dumbledore nodded and signaled to everyone to head to the open field. Some house elves who were working inside also popped away.
Alexander flew to the sky and hovered at a height. He started waving his hands and all the rubble started to fly, slowly arranging themselves. Alexander was going to make some changes to the new castle.
He was making the great hall even bigger. The classrooms were also bigger. The whole castle was going to use magic LED lights. Potions lab was upgraded to cause fewer injuries. The library was upgraded with superior enchantments and wards. No one would be able to take out books without getting permission from the librarian or the headmasters if the book contains some questionable material.
A new restricted section was made with only one entrance. It could be accessed by anyone over 16 years of age, as long as they sign the contract to not use the knowledge for bad things or else they will be obliviated. All kinds of knowledge could be accessed there. From lightest to darkest. It had safety features as well, if someone attempted to break in or attack, the person would be put into stasis and the DMLE would be informed automatically.
These were just some of the minor changes. Major changes included attack wards. If anyone tried to attack the school they would be put in stasis after getting a crucio to their face.
The internal wards also made sure that no kind of bullying would happen. Lighthearted Pranks were okay though. Words like Mudblood were banned from being spoken. The sorting hat was upgraded to have the power of slight divination. It could now sense which house is best for the students to nurture the most in a good way. Cheering wards were also included to lighten up any kind of depression.
It took just 1 hour to create the new Hogwarts. It was looking even more majestic than before. The paint was renewed. Shining white marble was also used here and there. In the end he repaired Hagrid's small castle too.
The small crowd just watched in shock as the new school formed. Hermione made sure that everything was clearly recorded on her Uniphone. She knows the value of propaganda now.
He slowly descended to the ground near the crowd. "Wizards and witches... and children" his last word was directed at Dumbledore who still had a lollipop in mouth.
"I present to you, Hogwarts... By the way, I made some changes, be sure to read these booklets." He said and gave a small booklets to each of them.
Dumbledore quickly scanned it and excitedly spoke. "This is brilliant my friend, many times better than before, you also made classes, dorms and great hall bigger to accommodate the extra students that will be joining next term."
Alexander nodded and invited them for lunch in the castle.
...
"So, I hope that we will not have to postpone the Triwizard tournament anymore. I am the minister of magic and from me, it's a green light." Alexander said.
"Hmm... it's a go from me as well, sir" Madam Maxime agreed.
"Yes, from me as well" no-name Durmstrang headmasters also agreed.
Then they all looked at Dumbledore who was busy cutting his steak.
"What? you don't need to ask me. Hogwarts is here, we are here, so what's there to ask?" He spoke.
~I think my potion made him too relaxed~ Alexander thought.
"Okay then, the first task will happen in 2 days from now. Tell your champions to prepare"
...
That evening, before leaving the ministry, Alexander signed a new law, it was fully introduced by him.
It was called Magical equality law. According to this, all kinds of discriminatory behavior against any intelligent living being and smart magical beings were to be considered a crime punishable by law.
The law also said that the ministry or any other organization in magical Britain will destroy all its public records of pureblood, half-blood or non-magical born wizards. From now on there will only be one term 'Wizard or witch' used. All intelligent magical beings are the same and will enjoy equal rights in the eyes of law. Furthermore, only Gringotts will keep a record of families and blood relations.
The new law is sure to cause some ruckus, but it was much needed. There weren't many pureblood supremacist families left, to begin with, so he wasn't much worried though.
The world purity level had reached 88%. Just 2 more and he'd have to leave. But he was going to take his sweet time to increase the world purity level. He needed at least 5 more years before he could arrange Hermione to take over the Ministry. Edward had already proved himself sufficient in running the business, so he wasn't worried there. Nagini was enjoying her life while working happily. Snape was happy to be with his new godson. He had also started dating some Japanese witch. Apparently, he found her on Unibook. Sirius was a wild dog so he didn't feel like finding a permanent girl for now.
Harry had developed a crush on Cho Chang but Alexander was sure that it was teenage hormones. Ginni was still salivating over Harry. Ron was slowly healing from his birth defects. He couldn't find a girl so he tried to impress Hermione but was brutally rejected. It's not his fault, he didn't know that she was already dating the most eligible bachelor in the world.
Hagrid was dating Madam Maxime. His new look had her going crazy. All in all, everyone was happy.
Now, Alexander was headed to the production center in the Galaxy Tower. He had full trust that the paid and happy elves would not do anything untrustworthy. After all, they all were treated so nicely. They all wore clean clothes, ate clean food and slept in nice rooms. Most of the money they earn was just continuously getting accumulated in their vaults.
Alexander entered the working area. The project manager elf was leading the way. While checking things out Alexander saw a weird elf. The elf was doing no work, he just sat on a bench swinging his legs and humming some unknown song.
"Hey, Grippy, who's that elf?" Alexander asked the project manager.
"Oh that, that's a masterless elf. His master died recently. He's very weird, he's not even trying to find a new master. He says that he's a free elf." Grippy said in a disgustful voice.
Alexander looked at the happy elf and felt pretty sure on his guess of who it was. There can be only one elf that would call himself free.
"Dobby, come here," he called out.
Alexander also used his judgment power on him.
||Dobby, the free elf - category Nil
Sin percentage- -1%||
~wait... it that even possible?~
Dobby looked surprised seeing that someone knew him. He tippy-toed towards him. Dobby was checking out the Wizard in front of him. He knew who it was, he saw the face in many newspapers and that box thing called Uniphone.
"What can Dobby do for great master Universe?" he said with his ever excited voice.
"What are you doing here?"
"Dobby's master died yesterday, mistress Malfoy did not bond with me so Dobby came here to see friends"
Alexander nodded and had an idea. He was working on a new potion for body evolution potion.
"Dobby, would you like to bond with my magic? I don't treat my elves badly, I pay them, give them work, food, and a good home to live in. You will still be free to do whatever you want." Alexander asked.
Dobby's already big eyes got more bigger. Alexander feared that they might pop out any second now.
"Yes, great master Universe, Dobby will be very lucky to bond with you" he excitedly said.
"Good, come here then," Alexander put his palm on Dobby's big forehead. Dobby's body and Alexander's hand produced white light for a split second and it was done.
"Grippy, give Dobby a new set of clothes. Don't worry Dobby. It's a rule that every elf must wear clean clothes if they are to serve me. Okay."
"T-Thank you Great master Un..."
"STOP! From now on, you will just call me boss. Okay?" Alexander ordered.
"Yes boss," Dobby nearly shouted.
