In the alley, the Tonks family arrived via flu powder. Its appearance was not too different from yesterday, with the exception of small creatures around some wizards floating and playing around their heads; they featured different colours of red, blue and green and other colours.
'Morgana, what are those creatures floating beside some wizards?' Oberon asked curiously
'they are what the Fae see when we interact with humans it's how we tell when a human lies and it was the reason that a lot of Fae and me hated you people, we could see your emotions mainly your sins, pink is lust, green is envy, and red is wrath, imagine if a person came up to you and all you would see around there face was pink and when they saw your sister even more pink it makes you… hate them'
'Wow, damn, wait, is not a Fae right?'
'Probably our connection lets you access a part of my natural abilities, my Fae eyes in this case'
'My list of powers is growing to grow even more'
'It will, but don't become arrogant right now… You are but a fly to some beings out there, no magical knowledge, and you can't access your mana zone'
'so still weak, got it's
'Hey Morgana, could you tell me about your life one day?'
'I thought you had heard most of my life already, the older sister of King Arthur and an evil mage'
'But that doesn't seem like what you are right now'
'Another time,' she said as Oberon felt their connection close shut like Morgana slammed a door in his face. 'Guess I messed up'
Oberon and his family arrived in front of Magical Menagerie just opposite Florean's, heading inside he saw many creatures: many owls in their cages hooting, cats meowing inside small boxes and toads croaking around a little pond to the side. There were some other creatures in the shop, just in smaller numbers.
"Mom, where are the Kneazles?"
"We probably won't be able to get a full-blooded Kneazle, but a mix is possible"
"Okay, Dora and I will look around then", Oberon said as he pulled his sister's hand with strength no 4-year-old should have.
"Dora, can you help me find a Kneazle hybrid?"
"Why are we even getting one?"
"Well, you still need a pet for Hogwarts, and I need to test out my aspect"
"Okay then, if it's for my brother, then I will suffer through this burden of finding a cut cat-kneazle for Hogwarts"
"To help your brother, right?"
"Right of course, dumb dumb"
Oberon rolled his eyes, seeing through her lies. They walked around until they stopped in front of a snow-white Kneazle hybrid.
"Mom, can we pay this cat?" Just as Oberon finished asking, the shopkeeper replied
"Of course, here let me open it, you have to make sure this is the right animal for you", he said as he opened the box and handed the cat to Oberon.
As soon as the cat touched Oberon, he received information on the cat's structure and how it gained minor legitimacy abilities, which it used to determine good people. Handing the cat over to Dora, who immediately scooped the kitty into her arms and started to stroke it. The cat seemed to enjoy Dora's company more than Oberon's. 'bastard'
Oberon walked around the shop for other creatures that he might use as the base before standing in front of a seemingly ordinary fox. The fox was also white in colour, but the only magical thing about it was that its ears had blue tips at the end.
"Ahh, I see you have found the kitsune we have imported recently from Japan"
"Kitsune, you mean nine-tailed foxes. I thought most of them were considered intelligent creatures by the wider community," Andromeda asked as she walked over.
"Right you are, miss, but this is a one-tailed kitsune under magical law. The kitsune that have under seven tails are normal magical beasts, because of the fact that a seven-tailed fox is where they start to gain enough intelligence, and you know to reach that many tails, they would need to live for seven hundred years"
"Wow, that is so cute", Oberon said
"Would you like to pet it, sir?"
"Yes, please"
"Here", the shopkeeper said after opening the enclosures to hand the fox to Oberon.
Just like before, when Oberon touched the fox, he understood the structure but also its other abilities, not just the intelligence, but the creature's potential, how, after 900 years, what powers it would receive, the ability to grow large to cast illusions that felt real, the fire they could summon that burned with miasma.
"Thanks, sir, the fox was soft and very cute"
"I'm glad you like it, not many people get to experience what it's like to hold magical beasts from a different part of the world, the kitsune are such majestic beasts" The shopkeeper's enthusiasm seeping though every word.
"Yes, it was a wonder, like cradling a fire that doesn't burn you"
"Mom can, we keep Mr Snuggles!!" Nyphadora called out from the other side of the shop.
"Of course, you can take Mr Snuggles to Hogwarts; he should help you make some friends," Andromeda said as they made their way to the counter to pay.
"Would you like a cat scratching post? Our customers swear by it"
"Yes, hopefully this will keep it from scratching up our furniture," Ted said.
"Will be 15 galleons, please, 14 for the cat and 1 for the poll"
"Here", Ted said, handing over the money and lifting the post, while Dora grabbed the cage Mr Flufflys was in
"Thanks mom thanks dad" Dora said happily.
"Don't worry, dear, this was also for your brother, remember"
"Oh yeah, Oberon, did you get what you wanted?"
"yes it felt like I could understand the creature instantly as soon as I touched it"
"Humm that's interesting, well, I guess if you ever had nothing else to do, you could become a magi zoologist, right dear?" Ted said
"Yes, probably, but don't push him", she said as she gave him a playful flick.
"Now who wants ice cream?"
""Meeee"" both Oberon's and Nyphadora's hands went up.
--------------------------------------------------------
Inside the home of Oberon light show was happening. In the living room of their house, you could see Oberon sitting on a rug in the centre, his eyes closed, a clear strain shown in the way his body was shaking. His parents and sister were off to the side, looking worried, with Morgana beside them protecting them.
A core floated in front of Oberon it looked opaque white with a red center rotating slowly in one place, in the mind of Oberon he entered into a realm where he started to create this new creature, adding the Kneazles structure along with the Kitsunes to create a fox, cat hybrid which inherited the traits most synonymous with the two species the Kneazles ability to detect untrustworthy people and the Kitsunes potential, its illusions and growth.
After the creature was constructed, the core in the outside world pulsed forming the body of this Hybrid, it first definable trait was the mostly white fur around its body with the only exception being the ears which at the tip become a bluish colour, the eyes add a lilac colour to them, the body mostly looking like a cat but the head was different looking very cute, it also had big ears and a hairier coat on top. The lights died down, and the original colours of the room were restored.
"Fouuuu", the creature said in a cute voice.
"Heeeeesss the cutest thing ever" Nymphadora then runs up to the newly created magical beast.
"Hey there, buddy, you and Flufflys will get along so well"
"FOOOoooooUUUuu!!!" the creature screamed while slapping her with its front paw repeatedly, doing little to no damage; it felt like a soft tap.
'Does Softy not like me?' she thought, sadly.
"Don't worry, Dora, he's just surprised, that's all", Oberon commented.
"Now, could you tell us what he can do?" asked Morgana
"Well, he has the power to shoot small fireballs from his mouth, like really small, can cast a small illusion on himself to look like a normal cat, and he detects untrustworthy people"
"Is that all?" she questioned
"Well, yeah, in this form thats it"
"What do you mean by this form?"
"Well, he has an attack mode where he gains more tails like a nine-tailed fox, which increases his power. The only problem with that is, I feel anything past the 5th tail would be too draining for my current body"
"Mmh, yes i guess I will have to make you train your body as well as your magic, not something we Fae had to worry about, but it is just another challenge we must face. Come show this creature to your parents"
"Fou"
"Yes?"
"I called it Fou"
"Thats is very cute", she whispered to him.
"Ohhh his he's not adorable", Andromeda said
As they look they saw Fou in Andromeda's arms getting his belly rubbed.
"Well, guess they are introduced"
"It seems that way"
