Fleur looked away, still embarrassed at her sudden confession. "I'm sorry, that was sudden," she admitted, her thick French accent permeating her words.

"It's just that I was thinking about you being correct. All the girls at my school do hate me, and they always have. Because of that, I've been trying to make them like me by avoiding pursuing any boys during my entire time at school.

Now that I'm graduating, I would like to, as they say, see what all the hype is about."

Jake was feeling conflicted. He'd been given permission to date other girls, and even his brother mentioned that harems were common in their society.

A part of him wanted to turn her down, but...The proposition was just for a date, after all. It wasn't as if he was inviting her into his peerage or anything…he hardly knew her, after all.

Still, thinking that it was okay to have some fun for himself, Jake agreed to go on a date with Fleur after the tournament. She gave him a beautiful happy smile as they parted ways.

Jake returned to the Great Hall, aiming to have dinner with Luna. He quickly spotted her at the Gryffindor table, engaged in a conversation with Hermione.

"Sorry about that, Luna," Jake apologized as he sat down next to her, "I just had to cheer someone up." Luna pivoted towards Jake, excitement plastered across her face.

"Guess what!" She announced so loudly that the entire table could hear her, "I'm stronger than Dumbledore now!" She exclaimed with delight. Several other students, hearing her declaration, spat out their drinks.

After considering what she had just blurted out, none of them believed her, leading to fits of laughter around the table.

"What the hell is she talking about!?"

"Stronger than Dumbledore? Don't make us laugh!"

"I didn't think Looney Lovegood could get any loonier, but clearly I was wrong."

Luna faced the whole table, unperturbed by their disbelief. She genuinely did possess more magical power than Dumbledore due to her Bishop piece! Jake clamped his hand over her mouth before she could blurt out any sensitive information.

In fact, when she had entered the Great Hall to dine earlier by herself, Dumbledore had glanced at her from the head table and froze in absolute shock.

All his years of raising his magical prowess as high as possible through rigorous rituals and exercises were proven insignificant because a thirteen-year-old girl had just surpassed him….

At that moment, Albus had excused himself from dinner and retired to his office to lament his plight with his Phoenix, Fawkes.

"Eeeew gross Luna! Did you really have to lick my palm!" Jake said as he pulled his hand away from her and wiped it on a napkin. She just gave him a smug look at being able to speak again.

"So Jake, who was it that you were comforting out there and what were you two talking about that took you so long?" Luna queried, flashing him a playful knowing look.

"Oh, nothing much…" He raised his voice slightly and smirked, drawing the attention of the room. "Just that I've secured a date with Fleur Delacour, that's all!" He announced loudly, hoping to spark a wave of jealousy among the guys at the table.

"Whaaaaaaaaaaatttt!?" Rang out in collective disbelief around him.

-POV Sirzechs Gremory-

Sirzechs and his wife had just teleported away after their conversation with Jake.

Despite informing him that they were returning immediately to the underworld, to confront his arch-nemesis - paperwork, that was not, in fact, the case. No, the two of them had teleported to an entirely different location.

Sirzechs had some business to handle at this place, and it was likely to involve a considerable degree of violence.

He knew his brother had already been forced to kill at an early age already, but what was to come was something he didn't want him exposed to just yet. This wasn't going to be in defense after all.

Sirzechs and his ever-loyal queen wore serious expressions on their faces as they ascended the steps of Gringotts Bank…

Nobody harmed his family and got away with it…nobody!

Two goblins, fully clad in their silver-steel armor, guarded the door. With just a small flare of his titanic magic power, both the goblins immediately soiled themselves in fear and dropped their weapons as they fled back into the bank.

"Monster!"

"Demon!" They shouted as they scrambled into the lobby as fast as their chainmail and stubby little legs could carry them.

The goblins tried to slam and lock the magically enforced doors behind them, doors that could even hold off the likes of Voldemort or Dumbledore at full power for nearly an hour.

With just a twitch of his finger, Sirzechs released a small blast of destruction that completely reduced the doors to ash.

Every single being in the bank froze at such a blatant action! The patrons were shocked that these two had wantonly destroyed Gringotts property, while the goblins, seeing two of their strongest guards fleeing in abject terror, went on high alert.

"All non-goblins, leave immediately," Grayfia declared to all the bank's occupants. She followed her declaration by releasing a bit of her power for them to feel.

Immediately, the smarter wizards and witches decided they could do their banking another day and fled through the destroyed doors.

"And why should a noble wizard such as I listen to someone who's dressed as a whore like yourself?" An irritating voice echoed from the other side of the bank.

The voice belonged to a man with long blond hair, an arrogant demeanor, and a cane...not because he needed it, but because he thought it made him look more aristocratic.

Sirzechs, already furious at the goblins, felt his anger intensify at the blatant insult to his beloved wife! He flared his magic power even further, causing all the goblins in the lobby to tremble in absolute fear. Meanwhile, the arrogant man remained unaffected, for some reason.
