Harry Potter And The Loa’s Child - Chapter 119
On an island in the middle of the black lake, Lucien sat in a lotus position quietly meditating. Padma and Parvati sat across from him in the same position. The three of them were all acting towards one goal. Unlocking their 7 major chakras, the Patil family referred to them as divine doors. With every chakra that Lucien unlocked the closer he became to having full control over his seer’s eyes.
Padma and Parvati attempted to unlock them because Lucien refused to believe that Patil family only used chakras as a method to control the seer’s eyes. Lucien wanted to know just how great the Patil blood line actually was. He had no doubt that it was anything less than divine, based solely off of his knowledge about chakras from his past life.
The trio spent half the day in deep meditation. Unlike the Patil twins, it was just enough time for Lucien to open his first chakra, the Root Chakra. The moment it opened; a gust of magical energy began to flow with ease in his body. He had become weightless for a moment, perfectly balanced and at peace. Underneath the current of energy being emitted from Lucien, a power aside from magic was present. It made Lucien’s blood boil and the moment it came in contact with Padma and Parvati, their blood boiled as well, and their Root Chakra busted open. The unknown energy united the trio. Peace and love is all they felt for each other in that instant.
“Do you feel that, Padma?” Parvati asked.
“Yes, my body is so…Hot,” she replied.
“We did it, we opened our first chakra” Lucien said with a smile. The Twins looked at him equally happy. Their eyes teamed with a perfect mixture of love and ŀust. The moment the energy trickled out. They had returned to their senses.
“That was…Intense” said Parvati.
“That’s a word for it” Padma added
Looking at his watch, Lucien realized he was out of time. “Come on, we have to go,” he said. Placing a hand on the twins, the teleported to Hogwarts and Lucien sent them on their way.
Taking a stroll around campus, Lucien took a moment to digest the latest events. ‘The Samodiva said a Lamia exist, I’ll have to find it as soon as possible along with the identity of the last angel of prostitution. Navarra said, Tonks told her there was a 6th and they’ll be complete. But, how would we find some who’s been hiding for millennia. And the most pressing of matters, why the hell is Nexus hunting Katherine Pierce?’
Lucien racked his brain with problems and solutions as he walked aimlessly through the school. Until he decided to let it all be. The search for the Lamia could be ȧssigned, resources could be given to Tonks to conduct her own search, Katherine was imprisoned and would be sentenced to desiccation until his return, and lastly, Lucien was smart enough to leave Nexus alone. Active deterrents would only cause problems for the kingdom of Mann, Problems they weren’t ready for.
Time passed steadily at Hogwarts, before anyone realized it, a month and a half had passed. Lucien and the Patil Twins had unlocked their second chakra, the Sacral Chakra, with surprising results. Lucien was forced to send the twins back home and relearn their family history. Most of their time was spent searching the depths of the family vault in Gringotts. Although, vast and ancient, Lucien felt that their search would bear no fruits from the Patil vault.
Reaching out and tapping a good friend, Lucien asked Mr. Kerlaag the Goblin, to perform an ancestry blood test. Though, uncommon for purebloods to undergo such test because of the risk of legacy disputes.. Mr. Kerlaag happily obliged for the right price, of course. And that’s how the Kingdom of Mann acquired their first Gringotts bank. It wasn’t a surprise when Lucien got word that Mr.Kerlaag was in charge of the new branch.
“Are you nervous, Lucien?” Lady Rosier asked
“Of course not, Lady” he replied, Lady Rosier was the last surviving descendant of Vinda Rosier. She was also happened to be Fleur’s best friend
“I’m extremely nervous, whose knows what’s really at the bottom of the black lake. And the task is three days long. Just imagine the countless number of dangerous things that would require three days to accomplish”Fleur spoke as she stared off into the distance.
“Don’t over think it. Let’s fight hard, and at the end of the day. You can always trust me, I won’t let die in that water.” Lucien replied as the boat approached the platforms in the middle of the Black Lake.
“10 platforms, not counting the 5 for the audience.” Vera spoke
“They expect us to rest out there?” Mael questioned
“It’s that or freeze to death when night falls” Viktor answered him.
The Six contestants all stood on a platform side by side in swim wear awaiting Dumbledore’s announcement of the rules before the start of the task. Something about the second task made all of the contestants a bit uneasy.
“Welcome to the second task.” Dumbledore said, “Last night, something was stolen from each of our champions. A treasure of sorts. One for each of the six champions, which now lie at the bottom of the Black Lake”
The crowd whispered amongst themselves. The sheer number of people made the stadiums emit a low hissing sound caused by their ċumulative whispering. Words weren’t audible, but the emotion could be felt none the less. Anxiety, excitement, curiosity, and then some. What was at the bottom of the Black Lake? Could be so important that the chosen would risk their lives in the deathly black murky water?
“All they must do is find them and return them to the surface. But they must do so in 3 days and at this time on the third day, not only must they have their treasure in hand but they must have the treasure that their treasure leads them to.”
Dumbledore’s words stumped not only the crowd, but the chosen as well. The task was being manipulated and this time it wasn’t Lucien’s doing. Looking over at his Golem–who is currently undercover as an Auror, Lucien sought answers, only to be met by an equally confused face. ‘Well I’ll be damned, I have a golem, Dumbledore has Mad-eye, Voldemort has yet to arrive, But who would be strong enough to force their way into this brawl?’
“la mémé…” Fleur muttered when she saw her grandmother in the stands. Unfortunately Lucien was too preoccupied with his thoughts to catch her words.
“Lady, va parler à ma grand-mère. Je veux savoir pourquoi elle est ici.” she whispered to her best friend. Lady Rosier immediatly left to question Fleur’s grandmother. Taking one last look at her grandmother, Fleur turned her attention to Lucien. Worry filled her heart. She understood that her grandmother’s presence meant trouble, mainly for Lucien. Who Fleur believed was the son of Veela blessed by a Samodiva– an existence that Veela elders had no tolerance for.
When Lucien felt a lingering gaze on him, he withdrew himself from deep thought and faced the source of the gaze. ‘Fleur?’ he thought, then flashed a smile for her. ‘What the hell is this girl staring at? Has she finally given in to her love for me? She’s going to jump me in front of everyone, is she really that bold?’
Bang! That sound of a cannon fired and trumpets played an upbeat melody. White smoke floated in the air and the smell of black powder created a burning stench.
Looking around the platform, Lucien realized that he was the only contestant remaining. Many Hogwarts students were bent over the platform searching the water for…
“I think I killed Harry Potter” said Neivelle Longbottom .
Lucien turned to face him with astonishment. Of all the people looking to kill Potter, Longbottm is the one to succeed and on accident no less.
“Yeah!” A voice cried out from the black lake. It Potter, experience his excitement for surviving what he thought was a deadly experience.
“Hmm” Lucien resound then turned to jump into the dark murky water
“Respire anba dlo” he chanted, allowing the spell to take effect, Lucien waited a moment before he took a deep breath. The moment he realized that he could breathe, a smile formed on his face. Using the wind element as jets, Lucien sped through the water.

Deep in a kelp forest, The contestant made their way as fast the could in an attempt to achieve first place. Unbeknownst to them, they weren’t the only things swimming through the kelp forest. Small squid like creatures stalk the contestants from the darker parts of the kelp forest, waiting for the right time to strike.
Using the bottlenose charm, a charm that create magical respiratory device to allow the caster an hour to breathe underwater, Fleur was the slowest of the contestants and was the first to snatched by the squid like creatures. Lashing and latching on to her, Fleur was ȧssaulted by all sides. Struggling to reach for her wand, Fleur swung left and right striking the squid like creatures with all her might. As she finally managed pull out her wand, the kelp forest began to move on their own and wrapped around the squid creatures. Squeezing them until the burst.
Fleur remained still in the cloud of blood. In the next moment she felt something grab her and pull her away with great force…
