Harry Potter And The Prince Of Slytherin 99 Re'em Blood.

Draco then proceeded to store, all the things he bought in different locations. He kept a liter of Re'em blood for experimenting and kept the other in a separate flask. After a bit of studying Draco found about Re'em blood uses properly. Since Re'em, blood isn't exactly a secret many people had invested time in experimenting about its uses in the past but even with a ton of research, they could only come up with the strength-giving part of it.

According to the research, Re'em, blood gave immense strength to the person who drank it for a certain time. The research concluded that 2ml of Re'em blood was only sufficient for giving the person enough strength for a minute and that the blood tasted a bit like wine but much bitter and sour than you could imagine. The side-effect of drinking the blood included fatigue and nausea, due to overstraining the body than a person normally would. The more you drank the blood the greater the side-effect would hit you.

Even after reading it all that, Draco still wanted to try some to see its effects for himself, so he drank exactly 2ml of the blood. The taste of the blood was hard to describe but the least Draco could say was that it wasn't as repulsive as he thought it would be. As soon as Draco, drank the potion he felt a rush of energy. It was much like before when he went off on Pius but this time there wasn't any difference in his mana. Draco rushed outside, running at an incredible speed, which would humanly be impossible. Draco as he rushed towards a decent sized stone in front of him, suddenly jumped and punched the stone. The stone had a hole in it, as Draco's arm successfully penetrated the stone. Draco was shocked seeing him cross his body limit as he only expected to crack the outside a little at most and to his surprise, he didn't feel any pain. As he was in amazement as to what happened, his body suddenly gave out. Draco dropped on the floor, gasping and sweating. He felt very tired as if he had just run a marathon. After minutes of laying on the floor, he finally regained enough strength to move again. Draco quickly used a couple of spells and just as he expected the potion didn't have any effect on magic, just his physical body.

(All the restriction and things are made up by me, since wiki didn't describe it properly. With this the Re'em blood wouldn't be to OP.)

After a bit of research, he went back to his lab and noted all the things down quickly. After contemplating all things, he separated the remaining Re'em blood in different 20ml flasks. With all that happened, Draco was sure that he couldn't take the side-effect of the blood for more than 10 minutes and 10 minutes of strength would make a lot of difference in a fight and would be enough to get out of certain situations.

With that settled down, Draco took out the Hodag's horn and stored it, to make a potion out of it when he had enough time. Draco kept the danger prediction ball in his robe, as it could be best used when it was near him. Then he took out the potion book which he bought before, the book taught people how to make offensive style potion for protection and attack. The potion book included rare potions which couldn't be found elsewhere, which pleased Draco very much. The recipes of this potions went from basic to difficult. After reading it a quarter way through, Draco closed the book and went back outside his suitcase to get a good sleep.

--------------------------------------------------------

Next morning, Draco was wakened up by a bunch of letters suddenly dropping in. Draco still half asleep looked around to see different owls flying in. Draco looked at the letters in his bed as he lazily stood up, yawning. He fed the owls and kept them in the stands. After a quick wash, Draco sat on his chair and looked at the letters carefully. He knew that 2 of them were Howlers.

A Howler is a magical letter in a red envelope which enchants the written message into the writer's voice, usually at a very high volume. The physical temperature of the Howler begins to rapidly increase upon delivery, and it will explode if left unopened for too long. This mechanism ensures that the recipient will open the Howler, even though he or she knows that it contains an unpleasantly loud message. Once the message has been received, the envelope bursts into flames, leaving only ashes. The sole purpose of the Howler is to deliver a message expressing anger or great displeasure in a manner which standard writing cannot adequately convey. As such, a howler will convey the displeasure of its author/sender even if left unopened, for it will shower the recipient with insults and cursing upon exploding.

As he thought the letters were from Pansy and Daphne. Draco knew that they were p.i.s.sed at him but he wasn't in the mood to listen to a loud scolding the very first thing in the morning. He threw both the letters high up in the air and burned it. Even when burning, the sound kept coming out of the letter which couldn't be understood and soon it quietened down. Draco was sure he would get scoldings from Daphne and Pansy later on as well, so the howlers weren't that necessary.

Draco looked at the other letters and surprisingly he still had a few. One was from Hermione, who sent the letter asking if he was okay. She sounded very concerned about his disappearance, which she found out when accidentally reading the daily prophet. After which she regularly followed the news and was finally relieved when the letter about him coming back was printed out today. The other letter was sent by Tonks, who got the information about Pius beforehand through Moody. She similarly was a bit concerned and was asking if he was okay. Even though the two of them have never met, they had built a friendship through letters. The other letter was from Andromeda, his friends at Hogwarts, including Neville and surprisingly Dumbledore. The content of most of the letters was the same. Feeling a bit happy about all the care he received, Draco sat back to write a reply letter to all of them, stating that he was fine. Sending the letters back along with the owls, he went out of his room to get breakfast.

Since yesterday, Narcissa herself prepared a lot of Draco's favorite dishes. Draco sat down eating the delicious food. After the meal, Lucius called Draco to the living room.

"The news has already spread as you wanted to." Lucius said pa.s.sing today's paper to Draco, "Some of the people wanted to come to interview you, what do you plan on doing about that?"

Draco took the paper and looked at it, the headline of the first page was, 'Defeat of the uprising Dark Lord.' The news stated different things about Pius's deed and how he was finally defeated by Draco.

"How's the response of other wizards?" Draco asked sitting down.

"It's pretty decent." Lucius said nodding, "Of course, some people find it hard to believe but most people are hooked, even people calling you the next Dark Lord are now on your side. All in all, the result you wanted have been achieved."

Draco nodded, "We can do the interview, maybe even call up Fudge to give me my Order of Merlin award for the paper."

Lucius couldn't understand why Draco wanted so much attention but he dismissed the thought thinking, his son was like him. "We can do that, have you thought about what you want to say?"

"Yes." Draco said. "I just want to spread the message about how we are being wrongfully accused and with it, in the future, we can even use this as an excuse to blame the other people back when they start doubting us for any reason at all. With the interview, I can solidify my reputation and answers some question people want to know, to reduce their doubt on me."

"Would you mention your creatures?"

"That's going to be a secret."

"I forgot to tell you this but since you used Doxies in your escape that day, people have started gossiping you carry weird creatures in your suitcase." Lucius said, "I am sure the interviewer will bring the question up."

"Don't worry." Draco said shrugging his shoulders, "When has using Doxies become a crime."

"With your current reputation getting a license wouldn't be hard so why go through all the trouble," Lucius asked confused. "If you ever get caught, all your creatures would be taken away."

"It will totally ruin the surprise element."
