21 a world in the world

The following morning, Alex, awoke in the master bedroom of his new house. After his ablutions are done, he directly goes to the dining room for his breakfast. The only visible house-elf present was Bilby, the old elf has become his personal elf while the other has continued their previous tasks.

Once done, he returns to his room before starting to empty his item pouch, taking blocks after blocks before. Once empty, he also empties the money pouch he has received from Lily, the last 24 Galleon polling with the rest of is 760 from the previous month.

Once the two empty he let the pouch fall in the other, hoping for the poping window that appears.

Selecting the first option, he assists in a similar experience as last time.

While he was expecting the message, he was surprised by the amount of evolution he was able to obtain, before becoming furious at the likely origin of the tracking charms, even if it upgrades his skill by two ranks.

'CS?'

-Yes, it was his soul shard, after the ritual start, you lost your life and magic momently, without magic and a viable host to leech off, it was trying to break free, but your protection hadn't let it go. With the ritual aim to purify you of your taint, the shard hadn't been spared, Tommy imprint was washed off, leaving you with this blank shard. After eleven years of absorbing your magic, it easily morphs to the second strongest imprint it has, had the link and you obtain a blank soul shard that was attenuated to you.-

'So should I accept?'

-Definitively, it will transform to an ability, being a part of your soul, it will exit this plane of existence, becoming the most secure vault for your thing.-

'Ok.' Accepting it, a new pop-up appears.

"..."

-...-

"..."

-Well, you won't lack space for a time.-

"True."

Willing the opening of his storage still in his previous form, he enters the place.

'How do you think we should transform it?'

-No more than five-meter high, higher would be unpractical. This way you have another space of 20*20*15 to divide or three of 20*20*5. If you keep, the 5 meter high and had the rest you can have a 40*40*5 storage space.-

'Good enough for me.'

After willing the new change, he starts to load the new space. Separating each material by their nature, he was left with an area containing metal ingots, woodblock, a bookshelf transmuted storing all his books, and a section containing the other miscellaneous item such as diverse rolls of blank fabrics, blocks of translucent plastic, jars of pigments extract of says fabric and plastics.

The only thing he keeps out of his expanded backpack was all is money, wizard, and mundane ones. The shrunk school supplies were in his room and all his previously bought clothes have been deconstructed and remade to his size with his available fabrics and pigments.

While he was resizing his cloth he had called Bilby and after taking his measure had made him two sets of clothes, the first was butler outfit, the classic black and white with its glove and the second was a thick linen outfit for outside work with paddled knees. Before he made them he didn't forget to clearly precise that they would be his uniform as long as he would be work for him. The first when he was servicing him and the second if he ever was to work outside. each elf was to follow the same trend, with a maid outfit for the female.

The two outfits having the Clan coat of arms, they were to never wear them while working at Hogwarts and that it was because he was his personal elf that he had made the outfit himself for him. His action had left the poor thing in tears, overwhelmed by his master reward.

After he had recuperated for his emotional trauma, Bilby had started the tour of the Manor. Has expected of an old family, the upper floor was for the family only with the bedroom and office. He also showed a personal library containing all of the family grimoires, made of runes and arithmancy texts along with battle magic, the ancient art that was practiced during wars before leaving the place to dueling. As one would think when seeing the two first types, he also found wards and wards breaking books. Each of those disciplines taking a wall each. While the library was restricted, some of those texts were of thousand of years, being of the first text created by the founders of the clan. He doesn't doubt that event Hogwarts hadn't book that olds. A transcription room allowing the copy of up to ten books at a time, used before the printing process was available for mass production.

Following that was the second floor. Here were the guest rooms along with some empty rooms. A second, general, library was present. Running on an expanded space of three-floor, he could feel the thirst of his clan for knowledge. The room was enormous for him, he doesn't know the normal size of other libraries, but he was sure that this size wasn't normal. He would spend hours inside and would also contribute to his expansion, he has at least three centuries of knowledge to catch after all.

After the second, he visits the first floor, constituted of a large ballroom, the entrance hall, another group of empty rooms, and office for private matters. Under that was the basement was reinforced rooms of runes encryption, potion laboratories, and dueling rooms were spread on two floors.

He was again lead to the third-floor office, the one of the clan head, and shown a secret passage leading to a third-floor basement. What was waiting for him there was not something he would think possible. Out of the corridor leading to it was a single room that seems excavated of rocks and was surely the case.

A similar feeling of the one given off by the goblins vault was screaming at him when he sees the large dark grey vault door.

"Bilby, why is a Gringott vault doing here?"

"Master not correct, this not Gringott vault, this his Evans vault, goblins have copied these vaults for the wizard."

"Are you saying that my clan his at the origin of the Gringott bank?"

"No, they only give plans for creating vaults, goblins have changed them with goblins runes."

"Is that why the clan doesn't have a vault at Gringott?" The elf nod at that.

"Clan his older that goblins' bank."

"I see." He presses his left hand on the vault door, opening it.

What he faced was mounts of gold coin, a real ocean of gold, stunning him silly.

"How?! How could they be that much of gold their?!"

"Hogwarts his making Evans elf work, and Evans elf is the one who fetches for the meal supply, so elf take what growing here, and the school pays for the food. Headmaster whisker not knowing were come the food and don't ask, so since the castle days, The clan have furnishing food supplies."

"There is a thousand of years of food fees here?" Ask Alex completely gobsmacked.

"Yes." Respond the elf, proud of his ancestor scheme that has surely made the Evans clan the richest wizarding family of the entire world.

"I don't even want to know how much there is inside."

He closes the door before mechanically following Bilby outside to see the rest of the land. They were very few buildings in this part of the territory. The totality of the space was divided into a large enclosed orchard, forming a forest, where wild animals could be seen grazing peacefully. The absence of humans population for the last three hundred years into a completely close habitat ad leads the animals to not fear what wasn't here, so it was another shock for him when a curious fawn came to lick his hand, before returning to his herd not too far away.

While he was lead to the second part of the divided territory, he couldn't help but ask.

"How do you do? You obviously have to kill a good number of them to feed the school, no?"

Rather than responding, Bilby takes his hand and pops them away to shows him. After exiting the orchard area, they arrive at a farming one. Large patches of land were cultivated. He could easily see different types of culture, barley, wheat, oats, corn, and some more. On the side were enclosure containing chicken, geese, and other gallinaceous, a small forest of oak where pigs happily feasting on acorns, a small lake where fishes breaking the surface for time to time along with ducks swimming on the surface.

"The founders of clan not wanting depend on others so they create the clan with everything need. Ores and rocks are the only things they have to trade." Say smugly Bilby with the farm on his back.

'I just don't inherit a fortune, but a small kingdom.'

-That you do buddy, that you do.-
