《Vampire in the Harry Potter World(Hiatus)》Chapter 11 The Gaunt shack

Advertisement

Kai estimated that he was an hour away from the manor, but he had a feeling of something that he had forgotten. Kai tried to recall what he had forgotten when it hit him.

He had forgotten to get the second Horcrux, Marvolo Gaunt's Ring. Kai stopped the large van which carried the blood and money and parked it at the roadside. At the same time, he took off his clothes because he didn't want to destroy them.

He knew that the Ring was hidden under the floorboards in the Gaunt shack. The gaunt shack just outside of the Little Hangleton village that was in Yorkshire. Kai then dashed to the north while estimating that it would take him around ten minutes to get there.

Once Kai got to the supposed location of the shack, he only saw trees. Kai understood that there was a powerful spell hiding the shack from prying eyes. Kai activated his runic eyes and what he saw instead was a mist covering the area 100 meters from him. Kai couldn't see anything apart from the mist.

Before Kai walked into the mist that Kai assumed was the shack, he first thought of what spells there would be protecting the Horcrux. The first would be the spell that hid the location, a type of illusion. Then there would be a type of repelling charm that would act as a forcefield. The third would be a physical curse that would cause pain and could maim and cripple the invader. The fourth would be a type of mental curse that would cause the invader great pain. If the invader did not manage to overcome the curse, his brain would be damaged, and he would be put into a vegetative state, where even if the invader was found on time(which was highly unlikely) he would never recover.

And the last and most deadly curse was the rotting curse and although it wasn't mentioned in a very detailed manner in the book. Kai believed that the curse had something to do with time acceleration, which Kai theorized wouldn't hurt him due to his immortality.

Once Kai went over the threats he tried to come up with ways to nullify the spells. The first spell which merely was an illusion and Kai already found a way to bypass the spell, by utilising his runic eyes.

The second could be bypassed by pure physical fore Kai would need to simply put more force into his punches that the repelling charm could reflect and forcefully enter.

The third curse which caused physical pain wouldn't be able to bypass his physical defences and therefore become useless.

The fourth curse Kai wasn't so sure about. It could either destroy his brain and although his brain could regenerate Kai wasn't sure if he would still have his memories. And although his subconscious' representation told him that his memories were stored inside his soul, Kai didn't want to take any chances.

Kai didn't know what to do. In the end, Kai decided that he would just barge in and deal with the spell when he reached that point.

Kai thought about the fifth spell- the rotting curse. Kai thought about what the actual definition of rotting is. Kai thought that the definition of rot is to decline in all functions until an object is no more. (Dictionary definition: to become decomposed). The main reason the object rots is because it declines with time, and due to Kai being immortal he didn't have to worry about his body declining by any time-related causes.

After Kai analysed the curses and spells he felt ready to enter and at the same time he turned off his runic eyes because they drained too much energy. When Kai put his first step into the mist he felt something faintly try to cause him to change his movements and turn around, but this time the illusion didn't work on Kai. After Kai broke past the illusion he saw a small, dilapidated and filthy wooden shack hidden in the trees. Kai thought that if you weren't actively trying to find the shack you would subconsciously skip over the shack.

When Kai tried to enter by opening the almost broken down wooden door he felt something throw him away. Kai found himself flying from the repulsion that the door had transmitted to him.

Kai moved his body so that he would land on his feet and thought to himself [ I'm like a cat, we both always land on our feet]. This time Kai utilised half of his strength when he pushed the handle and felt the force try to repel him again, but this time it failed. After two seconds of the two powerful opposing forces ramming against each other, the repelling barrier gave away and shattered.

Kai finally pushed the door and felt the uneven rotting wood that caused him to feel disgusted. Kai walked past the entrance and entered the small shack. He saw rotting broken wood that made up the house all around him.

He thought that if the house wasn't supported by magic it would have collapsed already. Kai then examined the living room and saw a rickety wooden chair, a silver and green flea ridden carpet and lots of dust. Kai reckoned that if he wasn't a vampire and didn't have to breathe then he would have had a coughing fit from the large amounts of dust.

Kai walked slowly to the study and looked inside. As soon as Kai's body entered the study he felt many sharp gusts of air resembling the sharpest swords attack his body. Kai estimated that each gust carried the force of 500 kilograms of force, while there were hundreds of gusts of wind.

Kai stood his ground and didn't let himself be moved out of the room, because he estimated from his previous experience with the door that he would have to experience the same attack again once he was removed from the study. After Kai withstood the spell, he survived the room.

Inside the room, there was a fancy looking wooden table or at least Kai assumed that it had been fancy because now it was run down ad the legs were rotting.

There was a painting of an old man with the edges of the painting starting to get ruined by the small rips at the corners. On the right side of the room, Kai saw a full body sized mirror that had accumulated lots of dust. The frame of the mirror was carved with lots of well-sculpted snakes. Kai assumed that the mirror was an heirloom.

Apart from these objects the rest of the room was bare. Kai walked towards the mirror and stood in front of it and sucked in a deep breath, then blew all the dust away from inside his mouth and the mirror.

He then started to admire his appearance, because this was the first time he had ever seen his true appearance in front of a mirror. At the same time, he thought that the legends were vampires don't have a reflection were simply stupid, it was obvious that it wasn't true at least not for his type of vampire.

Kai then saw the magical energy move towards the mirror that started to cause the snakes carved on the mirror to awaken. Kai thought to himself that it was perfect timing as he could test out his Parseltongue ability.

Kai counted approximately 11 snakes that came to life. The snakes started to hiss at him and Kai found out that he couldn't understand them. Kai tried to change his mindset from a vampire's (or human being) to that of a snake. Once he did he found out that he could miraculously understand them. They kept on repeating the same sentence over and overkill the invader. Kai assumed that the snakes were like golems or were golems.

Kai simply waved his hand in a grand gesture with all his strength and the air pressure generated from his movements crushed the surrounding area, including the snakes.

The aftermath of Kai's actions resulted in the room being destroyed, and not the house because of the powerful enchantments protecting the house.

Kai looked around the remains of the room and saw different pieces of wood lying around the ground. In the middle of the room lay a fist-sized gold chest with lots of precious jewels embeded onto it.

Kai knew that the chest had the mental spell on it while inside the chest resided the Horcrux. Kai braced himself and started thinking about a command word to eject himself from the mental world, as he memorized the word "Vampire".

(Author note- So, he basically repeated the word vampire over and over until he remembered that the word vampire was linked to real life and not a fantasy world inside the spell).

Kai then went over to the box cautiously and activated his runic eyes. Kai saw a dreamlike mist that caused the onlooker to automatically fell drowsy and then the moment his hands touched the box…
