The back alley leading to the magical heart of the British magical community looked the sa as always and I calmly tapped the bricks in the correct order and waited for the passage to open. Stepping onto Diagon alley I ignored the bustling atmosphere and walked through the light snow to Gringotts. I had the gold Whitebeard passed after a blew a lot of my fortune on helping him prepare for his war and was going to get half of it turned into galleons to pad my vault again.-
The other half I chose to keep on in case the hop worked out as I'd need liquid funds in these other worlds as well. Ragkog was more than happy to process the gold I brought and transfer the galleons into my account. This brought back up to a stable eighty five thousand-ish galleons. I took a few hundred out for my christmas shopping but otherwise it was a nice amount to fall back on. Thanks to the amount I even qualified for a better vault account. This one was a normal upgrade where now even if I were wanted by the ministry they couldn't freeze or force their way into my account. Most pureblooded families used this type of account for their vaults.-
Money business taken care of I started to go looking for my christmas gifts. Naturally the first stop was the wizarding chess shop "Knight and Rook" that I purchased two premium sets from for my friends. I then moved on to a few other shops that I purchased gifts from for the professors. Snape got a set of potion ingredients, Mcgonagall a Snitch with Gryffindor's colors. For Flitwick a cushion that fluffed itself and was always clean.-
Sprout got a set of pruning snips with a sharpness enchantnt for ease of pruning. Binns a modern history book, Quirrell a soul soothing potion that was intended for lingering dark magic based injuries. I sent Hagrid a new pair of dragon hide boots since I'd noticed his were wearing thin. Hooch got a signed poster of so quidditch star from her favorite team. I sent Dumbledore several sets of thick woolen socks with little phoenixes on them. That covered everyone I knew and felt like sending a gift to. I briefly considered sending stuff to the golden trio but I didn't want to risk them mistaking as seeing them as friends.-
Once that was taken care of I bought so nutrition potions and set off to find a spot to try my world hop. It wasn't hard really as there were plenty of spots out of view that I could vanish from without anyone the wiser. Spending the fifty coins I waited for the system to connect to David. The screen quickly did so and I found him in the middle of putting together a Sandevistan from parts on a workbench.-
If you went off the appearance of the tech you think it was rather uncomplicated, you'd also be wrong. Looking at the densely packed micro circuits and wires I understood that the tech was in fact mind bogglingly complex. Whether David noticed or not I couldn't say but whatever the case he was absolutely focused on his work. It was only after he fully sealed the Sandevistan up did he breath out a deep sigh of relief and visibly untense. -
"Tough job?" I asked and he flinched before relaxing again when he realized what was going on.
"Nah, just takes a lot of focus. ss up one groove and the whole thing is ruined." he said honestly.
"Got everything lined up for I hope? Would be kinda awkward if I had everything set up on my end but had to wait." I said and he grinned.
"It's all nova here choom. So I just like ask you to do sothing in exchange for so ti over here right?" He asked to clarify.
"Yeah, that should in theory work. We'll know soon enough I suppose." I said seriously.
{Trade initiated.... verifying validity.... Trade conditions approved. Contact: David Martinez. You give: the destruction of a Scavenger haunt, You receive: Temporary(2 day) pass. Accept trade conditions, Y/N? }
I accepted the trade and a new thing popped up.
{Trade accepted..... Initiating world transfer procedure... please hold still.}
All at once I felt the greyed out world around begin to press inwards and stretch abstractly before I sort of... blurred out of existence? It was hard to describe really. Like one second I was seeing the world distort and the next I felt myself not be in it anymore. The space between worlds was quite the sight though. Imagine a rainbow and then turn it into a single thread and then multiply those threads infinitely and make them sohow different in the tiniest ways and that was what it looked like.-
Many threads ca from certain points and branched off in different ways and others were loneso without any visible connection to any other thread. Not that I got to explore this between place at all as I was there for maybe a minute before I was yanked into a thread and sort of once again blurred but this ti into David's world. Imdiately I blanched as my stomach heaved and I found a nearby waste basket and vomited harshly.-
"You good choom? That looked rough." David asked as he patted my back.
Once I recovered I groaned as I picked myself up.
"Multiversal travel sucks." I said with a groan.
"What's it like? On my end I only saw you sort of turn into a bunch of dust before that dust showed up here and turned back into you." he said curiously.
"It's like a bad trip shoved in the span of a few monts. Not a fan at all." I said with a weak chuckle.
