Nice! Here's the new chapter!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After receiving my materials list I decided I was going to buy them as early as possible, and even though I had already planned to go to Diagon Alley on the sa day as the Weasleys and Potter, I'd still rather have my ti off so I can think about how I'm going to get Riddle's diary from Lucius Malfoy's hands
Of course, another reason is that I don't want to get close to Lockhart, even if it's only 10 ters, since he'll be at the bookstore signing his books, and I might end up doing sothing really bad to him... although that might even be fun.
Attempts to humiliate Lockhart aside, I also want to head to Diagon Alley early as I want to move forward with my investnt plans, and the sooner the better, as the one who gets the best deals when investing is the one who cos first.
Well, with that planned, I just have to wait for the next day to arrive, as tomorrow will be the day I go to Diagon Alley.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Diagon Alley-
The next day arrived, which happens to be today, and I was in Diagon Alley alone to do my shopping.
I was alone because my dad had to deal with an ergency at the hospital where he works, and my mom was called in court to be the lawyer for soone I didn't bother to rember the na of, so at this point she's probably terrorizing so defendant or judge in court.
You may be wondering who is taking care of Cele as my parents and I were busy, and the answer is simple... Cele is being taken care of by my family's house elf.
Yes, now my family has a house elf!
Well, it's more like having a house elf, since an elf can't have a master and servant relationship with soone other than a wizard or a squib.
Our elf's na is Linnly, and we managed to buy her through Gringotts' goblins two weeks ago.
I was reluctant to buy an elf because of the thought of having a being that is basically a slave serving , and my parents shared the sa thoughts, and only after so research and a quick glance with my Magic Vision, I realized that elves serve wizards is not a bad thing, in fact, it is a very good thing for them.
Elves need two things to stay healthy and strong, and that's so magic and emotions. Yes, emotions!
Elves need magic to be able to use their own magic, and like all beings, without that magic the elves beco weak and the more ti that passes with them running out of magic, the weaker they beco.
Elves also need to feel people's emotions in order for them to "recharge". Elves kind of get sadder or madder in so cases when they don't have emotions for them to feed on, and by emotions I an the emotions of thinking beings, and that's one of the reasons elves bond mostly with wizards and witches.
But the way an elf acts also mirrors the emotions and magic they consu, so sotis bonding with a wizard can't be a good thing for them, as is the case with Dobby and Kreacher.
I had never noticed this in Hogwarts house elves as they feed on the magic of the castle itself, not a wizard's magic, and also the emotions they consu co from all the castle's residents, and that's why they are very... Euphoric.
Another thing I've discovered is that the elves' loyal and ek personality is common among them, having no connection with the kind of magic and emotions they are consuming.
The elves punishing themselves or not being able to disobey the orders of their masters is not sothing done by the magic, but by a code and law of the elves themselves. Giving an item of clothing to free them also has no connection with any spell or curse, aning that elves could always free themselves from their masters by breaking the master and servant bond, but because of their laws they don't.
I also think that because the elves were directly involved in the emotions business of magic, they had a more special and stronger connection to with my Beast Talk, but that's just a guess.
Well, enough about house elves, let's get back to the main subject, which is my coming to Diagon Alley.
I was currently in front of Banco Gringotts, because the first thing I wanted to do in the alley was to finish my investnt project, and that's why I'm here.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Gringotts Bank - Night's eting Room-
"So, Mr. Night, what would you like to talk to us about?" asked the goblin in front of that I had never seen before.
"Err… Not to be rude or anything, but who are you and where's Sharpfang?" I asked.
"Oh, my na is Nagrork, and Master Sharpfang is at this very mont inspecting your Muggle accounts, and as I am his student, he has allowed to handle whatever matters you have with our bank as a substitute manager of the Night accounts" Nagrork said with a stoic and professional face, though I could feel the nervousness seeping out of him.
'Oh, um he's a rookie, hmm...' I thought, resisting the urge to scratch my chin analytically, "Well, in that case, then I'd like to talk about so investnts," I said, which imdiately caught the attention of the goblin in front of .
"What kind of investnts are we talking about?" Nagrork asked.
"The kind that will make a lot of money," I said, and then a toothy smile appeared on Nagrork's face.
I then proceeded to explain to Nagrork which companies and products I would like to invest in, with the Firebolt broomstick being one of them.
In the middle of the conversation I started using my Talk No Jutsu: Persuasion and Deception to try to convince Nagrork to accept a deal I wanted to make with him, and I then explained what terms he would have to accept, and in the end, after a few more words from , Nagrork began to ponder the deal.
"₱Those would be so very good investnts, and the deal isn't too bad," Nagrork muttered to himself in the goblin language.
"₱it would be, and I think you would gain a lot by accepting the deal" and I, who had obviously heard him, replied in the goblin language as well, surprising Nagrork who looked at in shock.
'Sotis I'm very happy that my Beast Power gives the ability to speak and understand the languages of other magical creatures' I thought, enjoying the surprised look of the goblin in front of .
"₱Do you understand our language?" he asked .
"₱Well, I like to learn new things" I replied with a shrug.
Nagrork began to look at with an analytical gaze. He then shook his head and went back to speaking in human language.
"Well, back to the deal, I'd like to say I accept your terms," he said, with a professional smile that didn't hide his greed.
"Great," I said with a smile. Nagrork then took a red quill from a drawer in his desk, and with it he signed his na to a contract, and soon after I did the sa.
"Well, I hope our partnership is very profitable for both of us," I said, reaching out for a handshake.
"And I expect the sa," Nagrork said.
After we talked about so side deals and investnts, where I picked up so items I had ordered from the bank, I got up to leave.
"May your enemies have their intestines twisted and their sinews ripped out," I said, earning an appreciative nod from Nagrork.
"And may your rivals die a painful death while their vaults fill with gold," he said, and in my humble opinion, my goblin greeting was more creative, but who's counting, right?
End.

(End AN: I saw that this story is almost reaching 3 million views, and that's amazing!
I wasn't expecting this story to go on for so long, nor that so many people would read it. I was surprised when it got to 1 million so fast, and when it got to 2 million I was more than surprised, I was so happy.
3 million views is an amazing thing, thank you all for that!
It would be cool if it was 7 Million, but I'm a little biased with that number, hehe.
Hope you enjoyed the chapters of the 2nd book!)
