Chapter 63 - More human experiments

"Minister." He said in greeting as he entered the room.

"Ohh… come Auror Dawlish. Come. Have a seat." The minister said jovially. "Come. Tell me what would you like. Tea or Coffee."

"Tea." He said without any fanfare. The minister must have suspected that he had brought him a valuable information otherwise there was no reason for him to treat an auror with such respect.

Maybe the minister is not as daft as everyone else seems to think.

But then again, he had been in power for such a long time. He might not be bright in other departments but he is one heck of a politician.

You can ask that to the people whose life Minister Fudge destroyed one way or another simply because they went against him.

Dawlish knew that the minister could be ruthless when the time demanded it.

He also knew that the Minister gave great rewards to people who served him well.

And this was a news that could sink Fudge's whole ship so he knew that he would be greatly rewarded for this.

He could already smell the golden galleons and the promotion coming up his way.

"I have something to report Minister." He said and went on to explain the whole debacle about Sirius' and Peter Pettegrew's case.

—————

"The last time I added muscles in your brother's legs, I thought I had done a good job." He said as he as he went around the table in which Alecto Carrow was strapped down without any clothes.

If he was a teenager and if his harmones had kicked in then he would probably not be as calm upon seeing her in such a situation.

But as it was, his harmones had yet to kick in so he had no trouble remaining calm at such a sight as he went about perform minute transfiguations in her thɨġhs and buŧŧock.

"Do you know that there more than a dozen muscle segments in our legs. Tweaking the right one in the right way is the key to making a person run faster, jump higher or lift more weights."

Alecto said something that sounded like a curse but the cloth wrapped around her mouth did a good job of muffling her voice.

Now he could have simply use a silencing charm on her but tying her mouth with a cloth seemed more… muggle. More like his style.

And a room that was filled with silence bored him.

At least seeing her trying to curse him every now and then gave him some amusement.

"I hope that it would work this time." He said and tied an enhanced shock collar around her neck.

"Now get up and wear your clothes. It's time to see if the experiment was a success or not." With those words, he backed away a few steps and removed the ropes binding her to the table.

She gave him a loathe filled glare that he'd gotten so used to these past few days before turning around and waking up to where her undėrwėȧr and pants were kept.

"Now let's move you to the next room." He said with a smile, his wand no where in sight.

If he was a normal wizard then he had no doubt that she would have already pounced at him and probably even subdued him with her huge size.

"You're not following the orders fast enough Alecto." He said with a sigh and a look of fear came into her eyes as he activated the enhanced shock collar and gave her a shock once again.

Her fingers twitched a bit after he stopped the shock and he wondered if the shock collar was his version of Cruciatus curse.

He had experimented on his test subject quite extensively and therefore she knew that he could not cast that curse which was why he had to rely on muggle methods to get the job done.

After all, in order to cast the curse, you have to fill your heart up to the brim with hate and malice for the person you're about to cast the curse on.

And he simply couldn't be bothered to conjure such deep emotions for a few nobody.

And he had a suspicion that casting that particular curse affected the caster as well.

After all, Bellatrix and Voldemort were one of the few people who used that curse extensively and both of them were not right in the head.

Or maybe they used that curse so much because they were insane in the first place.

But either way, he was not going to cast a curse whose full ramifications he didn't knew about.

Though he knew that he would have to learn the Partonus Charm sooner or later.

He could probably use the memory of his first hug from Hermione for that.

But there was not much point in thinking about all that for now.

He led Alecto to the next room where a large 100 meter pitch had been carved underground by him and Betty last night.

It would be good for testing how his leg enhancements were working.

"Good. Now you'll run from one end of the pitch to another." He said in his usual calm and bored tone, which was then made even scarier by the voice distorting charm he'd placed in the mask.

After erasing Peter's memory of the past few months, he was sure that his identity as a Researcher was safe.

Even if these Death Eaters are somehow able to escape his lab, they would not know who he was.

Oh they could guess his identity because of his Parseltongue but he had obliviated those memories out of their minds so they had no idea that he was a Parselmouth either.

No, not really.

Alecto gave him a hateful glare but then started running in the pitch as he started the stopwatch.

And boy was she fast.

In fact, she covered the whole pitch in 10.03 seconds.

Damn.

It was not a world record but it was damn close.

And with this, he knew that his Experiments was successful.

Because normally the female death eater would not been able to cover that distance in even 20 seconds.

Now he just needed to enhance those muscles a bit more and tweak them a little bit here and a little bit there to see what kind of results he would get.

"What are you feeling Alecto he asked."

"Fuck you." She replied.

Shock collar at work.

"What are you feeling Alecto."

Sob… sob… "My legs burn." She replied.

"Hmm… Too much Lactic acid produced by the enhanced muscles." He said and the notepad and quill noted down both of their words.

He should have seen such a complication.

"Subject is too tired after completing the 100 meters. Perhaps enhancing the lungs so that the subject could take deeper breaths would do the job." The quill noted down his words obediently and he smiled.

He still had no idea what he was doing or if his experiments would bring any success but he was learning and that meant everything to him.

"Good job Alecto." He praised "Maybe I'll let you sleep with your brother tonight as a reward for a job well done."

She smiled at that and he wondered what he felt about ɨnċėst.

Well, it's their life and their actions are their own so who was he to judge.

"But before that. We need to do a few more test runs." He said, withholding his amusement from showing up in his voice as her smile fell at his proclamation.

Playing god was amusing.

He could see how Voldemort turned out the way he did now. So he would need to be careful or else his ego would become as large as the dark lord.
