91 The False Weasley (1/2)

A few days earlier, Nova arrived in the city of Cairo, only to still find it intact. Which was good but not good at the same time. When he arrived, Nova found no sign of a Tear nor of any kind of spatial disturbance associated with one.

All he sensed was a small rift. Upon investigating the location, he found an empty alley. The alley was strange. In it, Nova felt pure Void Energy, Magic, and a small wisp of Divinity, associated with a being of the Void. But because of how faint it was he couldn't tell who it belonged to. Which was a little concerning. Who were they and how did they access the world without alerting the system?

To better understand what he was looking at, Nova set up an isolation bubble and then drew some low level time ruins, to slowly rewind what happened, if really only to show him the events.

”That idiot. A teleportation portal? How thick can you get?” Nova said sitting down with his head in his hands. ”At least it seems that he only jumped through and came out the other side and wasn't a pile of mush. I wonder what the Divinity was, I want to ask him, but Ronald only cares about food and wouldn't notice anything even if it bit him in the ass.”

”I am going to need to find him to go through his memories.” Nova sighed. Why can't things be peaceful?

Nova then started walking down the street following the time mirage that was Molly Weasley. Soon Nova came upon an hotel and walked inside.

”Excuse me. I am looking for the Weasley's do you know where they might be?” Nova asked the desk guy.

”Hmm. . . The Weasley's? Oh the Red's. Sorry they packed and left to go home. But the eldest, Bill, is still here. Oi! Bill! Someone's looking for you!”

Nova then saw a Weasley Red Head with a dragon tooth earring walk in from the back.

”Yes?” Bill asked.

”This young man is looking for your family.” the desk guy said.

”Hello Bill. I am Nova. Where is you brother, Ronald.” Nova said.

”They went to Diagon Alley. Going to stay at the Leaky for the next week or so till Hogwarts starts. Why? What did Ron do? Wait . . . Nova? Your that Dragon. Please don't kill Ron.” Bill said worriedly.

”I won't not just yet at least. He jumped into something he shouldn't have and I need to see if he saw anything.” Nova explained.

”That doesn't sound good.” Bill said. ”CHUCK! Tell Goldfinger, I have a family emergency. I will be back in a few days.”

”I am only going to the Cauldron. Why are you coming?” Nova asked.

”Well if you do something to Ron, someone has to hold Mother back.” Bill said. ”Now open you fancy portal I heard about.”

”You just want to take the portal, huh.” Bill didn't answer and only looked to the side. Nova sighed and ripped a hole in the space and grabbed Bill and jumped through.

”Well, well, well. It seems I missed something amusing.��� Nova said.

Ron then looked at Nova while holding himself and said, ”YOU!” and then promptly was knocked out as Hermione the round housed him in the head.

Hermione was about to stomp on him like crushing a bug, but Nova walked over and swept her off her feet.

”Hermione, I think that is enough. I need him alive for a few minutes longer.” Nova told her with a smile.

”NOVA! I haven't heard from you all summer.” Hermione said as she hugged him tightly. ”Please let me finish, he is still breathing. The little grease stain just tried to kiss me.”

”Maybe later. But something happened in Cairo, and he saw what happened. Possibly.” Nova told her as he put her down.

”What happened in Cairo?”

”Nothing.”

”But Nova, your watch beeped, you said before you left that Cairo was erased.” Daphne said as she walked up.

”Hello Daphne. Indeed, it should have been but it wasn't a Tear that formed. Or at least not a normal one.”

”Well Nova. If it wasn't food or Quidditch then Ron wouldn't have seen anything.” Luna said as she gave Nova a hug.

”That is what I am afraid of. I sensed Void Divinity, and need to see his memories.” Nova said.

”Ron! What happened?” Molly Weasley came rushing into the room. ”Bill why are you here?”

”Groan. My head.” Ron said.

Nova then looked down at Ron and a growl akin to thunder came out of his mouth. ”Everyone leave. NOW!” and released his aura. Feeling his fury, all the customers cleared out.

”Tom! Close the cauldron or give me a place for meetings.” Nova commanded the barkeep.

”Sir, I can't . . .” Tom began saying. Nova dropped a pile of Galleons on the counter. ”Yes. Sir.”

”No one gets in.” Nova commanded. ”I am not to be disturbed.”

”Yes, sir.” Tom then waved his wand and locked everything down and then quickly left.

Nova then picked up Ron, ”Who are you?! Who sent you?”

The person being Ron, stuttered and his eyes rolled into the back of his head and passed out.

”Damn mortal.” Nova said and tossed the person into a chair and snapped his finger as it strapped him down and held the person in place.

”Nova, what are you doing to Ron.” Harry asked

”This is not Ronald Weasley.” Nova said.

”Of course it's my baby boy!” Molly yelled. She had her wand brandished and looked ready to skin Nova.

”This is not your son, Molly Weasley. And you will do well not to question me mortal. Your son has the soul of a terrier dog not that of a cuttlefish.” Nova glared.

”Well so what if it changed!” Molly yelled.
