"Harry... keep that thing away" Melinda said in a no nonsense tone.
Click,click,click.
"But you why? Its so cute. Aren't you my little death machine?" Harry says in a childish tone as he scratched the back of the scorpion.
"Harry. That thing is just a baby and yet a drop of its venom is strong enough to kill an elephant" Hope stood far away from the little green scorpion. It practically screamed death to her, her instincts were going haywire and she was used to Harry's poisons. The sheer potential of this scorpion scared her.
"I know isn't it great" Harry smiled at her
He bathed his insects in his poisons, further increasing the toxicity of their venom. Then he used them in the Gu Ritual. But instead of creating a Super Bug. He made a freaking Ayakashi, a demon that grows with age and negative emotion. And Harry has been feeding it the passive mana that he leaks out, when he isn't training to condense the magic in his body.
"No it is not! I'm afraid of going to sleep" Melinda slammed her staff into the ground.
Harry just sighed. "Fine. Come Edward" the little scorpion scuttled across his palm to the back of it before landing on his middle finger it coiled its legs and claws around it and curled its tail up. The little scorpion looked like a ring due to his deep jade colour.
"There, he won't leave my finger unless I order him and he can just sit there and hibernate, feeding on my passive mana. That reminds me, I need to take out more money to spend on insects. I'm going to make a freaking army of either Super Bugs or Ayakashi Insects. It will be glorious!" Harry said as he fist pumped with his arms above his head.
Melinda opened her mouth only to close it. Hope patted her on the back. "Let's go Melinda. You need a new wardrobe. I know how picky you are about the material since you will enchant it later. Leave the maniac alone"
The now young Melinda just sighed ' I thought getting younger would be less stressful. Oh how wrong I was.' "Harry just don't blow up the place while we are gone?"
"Huh?" Harry turned his head around with a confused face. In front of him was his Archive Magic screens, and on them were magic diagrams of Fire Magic and Explosion magic combined with some unstable ingredients "Did you say something"
Melinda just turned to Hope " Call everybody in the house, we are going on a girls trip. Its not safe to stay here"
Hope nodded "Harry if you are going to blow stuff up use the Sahara" he just gave her a thumbs up lost in his research.

A few days passed and Harry continued to do what he does best. Discover new things, improve the old ones and sell stuff for money. Since he finally made his Pot production fully automatic via a golem assembly line. Or in this case, transmutation line.
He found out that it would be difficult and expensive to make golems be able to make the whole pot at once. So he made a factory line where each golem is responsible for a quarter of the Pot. It was cheaper and much easier to do, and it lowered the errors that the 'Full Golems' sometimes made.
He created the same system for simple enchantments on weapons.
Now he was making batches of his potions and poisons to make more money and continue expanding his influence over the Black Market. The Viper's popularity was seemingly climbing higher and higher.
Viper's Weapons, Potions and Poisons were known to be of consistent quality. His weapons were basic compared to his potions or poisons. But it got the job done and was considered as good starting gear for beginners. The few weapons that Harry personally enchanted sometimes went for quite a bit of money.
His Archive Magic made it possible to handle so many things at once as it was a tool where he could use the full potential of his mind.
But all things would come to an end as it was time for Harry Potter to make his press conference in Paris. There were times when he would have to come out in person and speak to the Vultures. (Reporters/Journalists).
Or would he?
Melinda froze in surprise as in front of her stood two Harrys. She reached her hands out and was able to touch both of them.
" Harry what am I looking at. Please tell me you didn't clone yourself. The world is not ready for this kind of bullshit"
Both Harrys chuckled ' If only she knew what kind of shit the world would get into. The Sephiroth Graal is one of the more busted Longinuses. And that Damphir has a Sub-Species that makes it even more broken.'
"Melinda" Spoke Harry on the right " You are looking at the solution to my problems. I read up a bit on gods, and how they can appear in many parts of the world at the same time. They split a part of their mind and create a magical body for them so that they can move around."
" You copied the system of Avatars that Gods use? How in the world did you do this. Is it like clones that Yokai use?"
Harry tilted his head a bit and raised his hand and started to shake in exasperation. Showing she was close.
" Yokai use KI or Qi to accomplish this. I call this Thought Projection Magic and there are various levels of the spell. You are looking at the second level. Well the prototype of it." Harry corrected himself and then formed another copy. So now there were three Harrys.
He touched the new copy and his hand went right through it.
"The first level is basically just a holographic or illusion projection with a part of my mind or a Legilimency Probe in it. It can see, hear and speak but it can't touch. My mind is linked to it so i receive information in real time.
That was a bitch to figure out since at the base its an illusion. But thank those devil bastards. Wizarding magic came in clutch even if it doesn't make any sense."
Melinda nodded, she had heard of things like this. God Loki was quite famous for them
"The second level is a physical copy but without any power in it. So this 'clone' can take my place in press conferences, meet people, help out around the lab, help with brewing or calculations since it has its own thought process which sends the information back to me. Its quite handy if I'm being honest"
"I can imagine" Melidna mumbles " And the other levels?"
Harry got serious, but this time it was the clone who spoke " The final level is a clone with some of my power or maybe even above that is a clone that I can hold half of my power. Maybe even make a clone they can be charged up to match me in power. But from what I read that is nearly impossible to do. Otherwise everyone would be doing it. A copy can never be as good as the original. Even this Level Two clone can only exist for 5 minutes.
But i just created the second level yesterday and this is just a prototype, eventually i can make him stay longer"
' Choosing what method of clones to use was tricky. I had so many options. Shadow Clones, Vegapunk route, DBZ Clones, I even thought about Jin Mori clones.
Where the power of the clones match the strength of the original but that depended on the proximity of the original. I have no idea how to even begin to make that. I think i need Senjutsu for that and i currently don't have the power to sustain those kinds of clones.
Eventually i decided on Thought Projection from Fairy Tail for multiple reasons. First of all, all the clones are linked in real time with the original. Shadow Clones while possible to create would just overload the brain once they pop.
And two clones could be studying the same thing by accident which is a waste of time. The mind link eliminates that problem.
The Second reason is that the physical clones are durable. Jellal split his power in half and the clones can go a very long distance away from the original. If the clone dies that power just returns through the link.
I'm going to need to modify the spell so that the clone forms with half of my power but doesn't permanently hold it. So i can regenerate the missing half. Like a shadow clone.
And if possible make a clone that can hold just as much power as myself where I can slowly fill it up to full power. But I have no idea how to make something like that.
As it violates the laws of equivalent exchange. My other clones will disappear once the magic in them runs out or they return to me. But what would i need to build a permanent clone that is linked to me and i can send it magic. Senjutsu possibly?'
Snap. Snap. Snap
Melinda snapped her fingers in front of him. "I know you are thinking about your project. But we really need to go if we are going to make it to the conference"
Harry sighed, there is no escaping this. His clones weren't up to the level where he can just send an illusion clone to Paris. He just created *cough* recreated the spell. It still has a lot of problems to fix.
" Let's get this over with"
~ Paris
Everybody of importance knew that Harry Potter was arriving in Paris. This was a tremendous opportunity for a lot of people. For example the reporter that Harry remembered and addressed when the meeting between delegates happened. Chloé Blanchet from Libé Magique. She received quite a bit of rise in popularity. One good photo of Lord Potter would go for a fortune.
So now everybody was getting ready to make a deal or at least get the attention of the young protégé. Reporters. Businessmen, Politicians and even the big boss of the Ministère de la Magie. (The French Minister of Magic.)
Ministre Jean-Luc De la Cour
Who was currently in his office with his family. Apoline his wife and his two daughters Fleur and Gabrielle. Fleur was fourteen and Gabriele was five.
Apoline was goddess in human flesh. She was simply stunning. Long silver hair to her back, deep blue eyes that looked like sapphires. A voluptuous hourglass body that would make men go crazy with just a small sway. And her Veela Charm which increases her beauty to anyone who is attracted to her. Making them an easy target for Veela to pray on. She looked like she was carved by the gods. And in a way she was.
Veela were originally creations of the Greek Gods. It was a challenge of who could create the most beautiful avian as a gift to their Chief God Zeus. Many goddesses created different kinds of birds. Strong, smart, stunning but only Aphrodite took it a step further. Her birds turned into gorgeous and sexy women.
Hera naturally was furious when Zeus declared that he liked her gift the best. She cursed the creatures to stay in their half bird-half human form, like the Harpies. But with that curse she gave them the ability to use fire. And a new breed of magical creatures was born. Throughout the years with studying magic and mating with humans until they die, the Veela were able to shead their avian form become what they are today, witches that have a strong charm, control over blue fire and access to their avian from whenever they want. But over thousands of years that instinct of theirs still remains somewhat. Thats why people still call them man eaters.
Anyway the Delacours were a normal dysfunctional family like any other. Jean and Apoline both understood that their marriage was purely political.
He makes things easier for the Veela in France. She helps him out with the subtle side of politics. Causing mischief, seducing men with her gestures, causing trouble in married couples. Everything was so subtle because in the end she was innocent. It was always other men who did something first. And that had consequences to their career and marriage.
Thats not to say that they don't hold any affection towards one and other. You can't be together with someone for fifteen years and not get used to each others presence. It might not be love but it works out for them.
Their daughter Fluer on the other hand was probably bipolar. As being a Veela born in a high class family. She was bulled during her childhood where it takes a while for a Vella to hit puberty as that is the stage where they gather the magic needed for it. So from the age of eight to twelve they look the same age. But after twelve they look older and more seductive. Fluer was only fourteen but she looked like a well developed sixteen year old.
That naturally attracted jealousy from the other girls and stares from the guys. Which she manipulated with glee as payback for what they said to her a few years ago. She enjoys living the high life and manipulating men with her charms. It makes her feel strong and confident. So she would forget the times when she was small, lonely and weak, where she cried herself to sleep.
She has a reputation of a cold hearted bitch, but cares a lot about her sister. So the young students were warned by their older siblings not to bully Gabriele, or Fluer would literally break their family apart.
Jean-Luc looked at his family with a small smile he was exhausted. The press conference was a big opportunity for him and Magical France, but it was also a nightmare. The logistics, security, favours that he accepted for people to meet and talk with Lord Potter in the limited time frame he had given them was very stressful to work out. Luckly Harry Potter decided to do all that before the press conference as he wanted to be done with it and leave.
(A/N they are obviously talking in French)
"So Papa what did you call us here for?" Fluer said as Gabriele sat in her lap and she was braiding her hair. Gabriele enjoyed spending time like this with Fluer, and her hair always turned out cute and interesting.
"Isn't it obvious sweetheart. Its about the VIP that is about to arrive in our country?" Apoline smiled sweetly as she watched her daughters. They were her pride and joy,
Fluer tilted her head slightly and had a confused expression "Harry Potter? What about him, we already had this discussion. Didn't you say I was going to try and charm him. He is still just a little boy"
Jean-Luc pressed his hand on his face lightly and sighed. His daughters arrognace knows no bounds. And the problem was that she deserved to be arrogant. Perfect grades both theoretical and practical. Her control over her Veela flame was also excellent. And in a Veela's case, the more powerful she was the more beautiful she would be. And Fluer was declared as a once in a century talent in his wife's Veela Coven.
"That little boy apparently has perfect occlumency. We have received word that any Charm is completely useless at him. And he is brutal and cold-hearted. At the age of eleven he had already been in two Honor Duels where he killed two of England's pigs cough pureblood lords." Jean coughed in his fist correcting himself
"Piggies!" Gabriele said with her hands in the air.
Jean felt a chill down his spine as Apoline was giving him an icy stare. He quickly got back to the topic. "Seducing him is out of the question, he is too young anyway. So tone down your arrogant attitude when you are in front of him. Remember he has already finished his magical education and is stronger than you. Don't provoke him and don't let him provoke you.
Just be courteous and show him the beauty of our city as his guide while I set up the meeting spots and the conference venue. I changed the location of the last one since I heard that some of the pureblood morons in this country planned to attack Harry Potter for ruining their business. A group of hit wizards are waiting for them to show up"
"Short-sighted fools" Apoline said in a cold tone. Harming Harry Potter was equivalent to harming a world class celebrity. It doesn't matter what country they are from, they are coming to France and will start a war on you.
"Yes.. well they will be taken care of. Now I just want to make sure nobody does anything stupid to annoy the boy. Lest he take away his Pots from France as well."
Fluer sighed and rolled her eyes "Fine. I will play the perfect daughter in front of the little boy. But... I want the new purse that just came out" she said with sparkles in her eyes.
Apoline chuckled when she saw her daughters expression as if agreeing with her attitude. Jean just shook his head ' I will never understand women. She has dozens of purses. Why do they want more?'
