Chapter 22: The Bird, Fang, Stabbing Spectacle and The Rise of the Wizard King (And the Sudden Acquisition of a House-Elf Servant).
'Oops! I Stole the Isekai Lottery'Harrylimpedtoward Ginny, exhaustionhitting him like a rogue Bludger.
Riddle smirked, strolling around like adiscount villain monologuing in a bad play.
"You have maybe a minute left, Harry. Any last words?"
Raja,cracking his knuckles, smirked. "Yeah.Hold this."
With a flick of his wand, Rajablasted Riddle with a spell so strongitpinned him against the Chamber's wall.The sheer force causedancient stone pillars to toppleonto Riddle.
Raja wiped imaginary dust from his robes. "Oops. My bad."
Ron, Other side of the room felt the Vibration and sounds,** whispered, "Are they Fighting a war."
Harry,in a moment of clarity, noticed Ginny still clutchingthe diary.His brain, running on30% oxygen and 70% pure Gryffindor impulse,connected the dots.
Raja swiftly cast a cutting spellsliced off a Basilisk fang, using telekinesis tofling it toward Harry.
"Quickly!Stab the diary!"
Just as Riddleemerged from the rubble, hiseyes widened in horror.
"NOOOOO—"
Harry, fueled bysheer adrenaline and spite,stabbed the diary.
Inkburst out like an exorcism gone wrong.
Riddlescreamedas hisbody began disintegrating.
Raja, sipping an imaginary drink, observed. "Ten points forspecial effects."
Harry,in true overachiever fashion,stabbed the diary a few more times, makingsureRiddle was well and trulydeceased.
Ron blinked. "He's alreadydead, mate."
Harry, panting,stabbed it one last time."Just in case."
Rajapoured a potioninto Ginny's mouth, while handing another to Harry for energy.
Ginny'seyes fluttered open.
"Oh no," she gasped. "I—I did all of it! The messages! The attacks! It wasme!"
Harry,bleeding, pained, and emotionally drained, smiled weakly. "Ginny, it's okay. We all have bad years."
Ginny sat up and saw Harry'srapidly worsening wound.
"Harry! You're hurt!"
EnterFawkes the Drama Phoenix.
The birdlanded elegantly, letting out a majestic trill beforecryingonto Harry's wound, healing itinstantly.
Raja,arms crossed, raised a brow. "Oh,so now you show up?"
Fawkes ignored him, stilllooking majestic.
Raja narrowed his eyes. "Oh, I see how it is.You only heal white people."
Ron and Ginnychoked on air.
Harry, who hadbarely escaped death, looked up. "I—what?"
Fawkes, offended,squawked aggressively.
Raja glared back. "Oh, now you wanna talk,you overgrown chicken?"
Fawkesflapped his wings violently.
"WHAT? You wanna fight? LET'S GO, FEATHERBRAIN!"
Thenext five minutes consisted of Raja and Fawkes aggressively flapping at each otherwhile the others watched in utter disbelief.
Harry wiped a tear from his eye. "This isthe greatest moment of my life."
Fawkes,despite his feud with Raja, begrudginglygrabbed Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Lockhart, flying themout of the Chamber.
Lockhart, still amnesiac, looked around. "This isjust like magic!"
Raja,summoning his broom from inventory, flew beside Fawkes. "Try not to drop them,Pigeon Supreme."
Fawkes tried topeck him mid-air.
Ron shook his head. "Honestly, how are you still alive?"
Raja grinned. "Charm, luck, and pure chaos."
Back inDumbledore's office, the old wizardeyed them knowingly.
"Youbrokenumerous school rules," he began.
Raja leaned in. "And?"
Dumbledore chuckled. "And... you'll all receiveSpecial Awards for Services to the School."
Ron blinked. "Wait.What?"
Hagrid, newly released from Azkaban, burst in. "HARRY! RAJA! I KNEW YEH'D SAVE THE DAY!"
Raja smirked. "It was easy. Well,except for my ongoing lawsuit against Fawkes."
Fawkes, from the corner,flipped his tail dramatically.
Dumbledore chuckled but turned serious. "Harry, your loyalty in the Chamber summoned Fawkes."
Meanwhile,Raja was still arguing with the old headmasters in their portraits.
"Listen here, Phineas, if thatovergrown turkeygets any special treatment in the afterlife, I will riot."
Harry, still reeling fromalmost dying, suddenly thought about hisconnection to Riddle.
"Sir... am I like Tom Riddle?"
Dumbledore's eyes twinkled. "Voldemort unknowingly transferred some of his powers to you. But it isyour choicesthat define you, Harry."
Harry hesitated. "But...the sword of Gryffindor.Only a true Gryffindor could pull it from the hat."
Dumbledore smiled. "Indeed. That sword came to you in your time of need."
Harry turned red. "Uh...technically, Raja pulled it out and gave it to me."
Dumbledore blinked.
Slowly, he turned towardRaja, who was still arguing with Fawkes.
Sorting Hat,enjoying the show,finally spoke. "That kid hasall the qualitiesof the four founders. If not for hismuggle-born origins, I'd swear he wasMerlin reincarnated."
Silence.
Then Raja, mid-argument, turned and looked at the people. "What?"
Dumbledore steepled his fingers. "Fascinating."
Raja agian continued "Hold up, were was I you overgrown chicken wait for some time i will have a dragon as pet"
Sorting Hat: "It's is high possibility."
Fawkeslaunched himself at Raja again.
Duo facepalmed. "Here we go again."
Harry stood inDumbledore's office, only to freeze asLucius Malfoy stormed in, dragging a very miserable-looking Dobby.
Dobbyperked upupon seeing Harry but immediately shrank when Luciuselbowed him aside.
"Dumbledore," Lucius sneered. "Back in your office, I see."
Dumbledore smiledpleasantly. "Ah, yes, reinstated just moments after Ginny Weasley was taken.Fascinating timing, isn't it?"
Luciusscowled.
Harry, eyesnarrowing, spoke up. "I wonder who could'vepossiblyconvinced the Board of Governors to remove you in the first place."
Lucius gavethe fakest gasp imaginable."Whataccusations, Potter! You wound me."
Dumbledore, stillsmiling like a grandparent watching kids fail at chess, held up thenow-ruined diary.
"You see, Lucius, Voldemort leftthisbehind. I imagine placing cursed objects inunsuspecting students' handsmight have...unfortunate consequences."
Lucius'slip curled."I have no idea what you're implying."
Harrystepped forward."Youbetterhope I'm always around to save the day, Malfoy."
Lucius glared. "Watch yourself, Potter."
As Lucius turned to leave,Harry had an idea.
He grabbed the ruined diary, stuffeda sock inside, and held it out. "I believe thisbelongsto you."
Lucius,utterly disgusted, tossed the diary at Dobby. "Take it, you filth—"
Dobby caught it. Hiseyes widened.
He gingerly pulled out the sock,realizing what it meant.
"Dobby... is...free?"
Lucius turned red. "YOU LITTLE—"
Before he could hex Harry,Dobby blasted him with a spell so powerful, it sent Luciusflying out the door.
Raja, having watched the whole exchange,suddenly clapped.
"Dobby," he grinned, "want to be my servant?"
Dobby'sentire existence short-circuited.
"W-what?"
Harry, holding back a laugh,gave an approving nod.
Dobby'sears flapped in panic.He looked at Harry, back at Raja, back at Harry...
Then, after muchinternal screaming, hebowed deeply.
"Master Raja,Dobby is honored to serve!"
Raja,smirking, summoned his wand andcleaned Dobby up, dressed him in acustom-tailored outfit, and even handed him afloating magical instruction book titledHow to Be a Proper Butler, Vol. 1."
Ron gaped. "Are you...training him?"
Raja shrugged. "I'moptimizing efficiency."
Dobby, clutching the book,looked absolutely thrilled.
The Great Hallbuzzed with excitementaspetrified students returned.
Nearly Headless Nickfloated by, joyfully exclaiming, "Ah, the liveliness of the young again!"
Filch,holding Mrs. Norris, looked oddly emotional.
Then Neville gasped. "Look!Hermione's awake!"
Harry and Ron turned just as Hermionerushed into the hall.
"Harry! Ron!" She flung her arms around Harry in a tight hug, then turned to Ron—
They awkwardly stared at each other.
Then...
A firm handshake.
Ron looked like he hadforgotten how to breathe.
Hermione pulled back, blinking. "Where's Raja?"
Harry and Ron glanced at each other.
"Yeah, about that..."
Dumbledorecleared his throat, instantly silencing the Great Hall.
"I have one last matter to address," he began, "concerning a student who has demonstratedcunning, bravery, ingenuity, and loyaltybeyond all expectations."
Murmurs filled the hall.
Dumbledore " He was muggle born who has selected Slytherin as his house and Known by many Nick names like Slytherine Shadow, menance and guardian etc."
Dumbledore smiled. "I am honored to presentRudra D. Raja Kumarawith the'Best Student Wizard'award."
The doorsswung open, and—
With adramatic explosion of smoke,Raja entered in full black and gold attire, doves emerges from behind him.
The Great Hallgasped.
Malfoy: "Oh,come on!"
Raja walked up the podiumlike royalty, cape billowing, before finallyreceiving a shimmering shield-shaped badgebearingall four Hogwarts house emblems.
Dumbledore beamed. "Raja, as a symbol of your excellence, I grant you this badge."
The hallexploded into applause.
Dumbledore nodded. "Would you like to say a few words?"
The Great Hall was silent. Every eye was on the young boy standing at the center, his presence commanding, his aura undeniable. With a confident gaze, Raja stepped forward, his voice steady yet filled with the fire of ambition.
"Ladies and gentlemen, professors, esteemed wizards, and fellow students...
Today marks the beginning of a new era. An era where magic is not bound by outdated traditions or shackled by complacency. An era where knowledge is limitless, power is earned, and the world of wizards rises beyond its past constraints.
I stand before you not as a mere student, not as another name in history, but as the spark that will ignite a revolution! I will give my all, surpass every limit, and carve a path no one has dared to walk before. I will challenge the old ways, break the chains of stagnation, and lead us toward a future where magic is stronger, purer, and more powerful than ever.
I declare today that I will establish aNew Noble Housein my name—one that will not be built on blood, but ontalent, wisdom, and strength.AHogawarts Housewhere innovation thrives, where every wizard has the right to grow beyond their limits, where magic is not just practiced but perfected.
No longer will we let the magical world remain hidden in the shadows of mediocrity. No longer will we settle for what has always been.We will revolutionize magic.We will create advancements never seen before, break barriers no one thought possible, and ascend to heights that even history has yet to witness!
My name isRudra D. Raja Kumara...
And I will be theKing of Wizards!"
With those final words, magic seemed to hum in the air, as if the world itself acknowledged his declaration. The future had been set in motion, and nothing would stand in his way.
The hallerupted.
After the ceremony, Hermione sat with the boys, stilltrying to process everything.
"You disappeared, came back with ahouse-elf, started awizard revolution, and now you're what—declaring yourself King?"
Rajasipped pumpkin juice."Correct."
Hermione buried her face in her hands. "Creating new Nobel house is insane."
Ron sighed. "She's finally getting it."
Meanwhile, Dobbystood at Raja's side, dressed immaculately, bowing.
"Master Raja, Dobby shall prepare your royal quarters!"
Raja nodded. "Excellent. Also, adda throne."
Harrycouldn't stop laughing."You'rereallydoing this?"
Raja grinned. "Harry, my dear friend, it's already done."
And thus,Hogwarts would never be the same again.
