Ron Weasley: A Noble's Ascension

After going through the two thieves minds, Ron found out several interesting things about the Russian Wizarding World. The reason that Mesto Neizvestno was mostly abandoned was because only Purebloods were allowed in, that made him think that their must be an interesting backstory as to why that half Veela woman was working there.

Of course those two thieves were Halfbloods and they'd snuck in trying to steal from some rich Pureblood, when they came across Ron.

Another piece of information he learned was that unlike Britain where the Ministry held most of the power, in Russia it was an organization known as Ókunnigr. Their Ministry was simply for show with it holding little to no authority, and Ókunnigr making all of the decisions.

"*I shouldn't get involved with those guys at least not right now, although I'm intrigued as to how they've gone unnoticed by the rest of the world. Or do they know and chose to not say anything?*"

"Vladimir... Vladimir..."

Laying on it's back a "Wizard" was rolling around the alleys ground repeatedly saying his name.

*Sigh*

"My attempt to make realistic and permanent Illusions like Voldy failed again. What am I missing? How did he do it? All of my attempts so far lead to my targets becoming Pokemons..."

Having recuperated his pouch Ron made his way out of Mesto Neizvestno and hailed a cab to Komsomolskaya Station, where he'd take a train to the city of Yakutsk. To catch an airplane which would then drop him off in Tiksi a small artic town where his aunt was living in.

"*She really couldn't have chosen a more remote place to live? It'll take me at least five days to get there... *"

*Sigh*

"*C'mon Ron you're doing this for the Black Family's treasures, do it for the Ancient Magical Artefacts.*"

With Sirius Black currently in Azkaban the Black Family's wealth was just sitting there, so Ron thought that he could take this opportunity to clean house. He was sure that a family with such long and rich history must have some impressive things in their vault and homes.

"*I've just got to get that old woman to give me something that I can use.*"

Komsomolskaya Station was the most famous train station in Russia and when Ron went inside he knew why, it was one of the most beautifully designed buildings he'd ever seen.

Tall pinkish limestone pillars seperated the two train lines while a large bronze plaque with an emblem decorated the ceiling. He waited a few minutes by the entrance until he saw a couple enter one of the pink pillars, he then fallowed after them.

When he came out of the other side Ron found himself in a much larger station. He didn't have a ticket but there was a man holding on a ticket machine near a grand and lavishly styled train.

"( Yakutsk?)"

"( Yes.)"

"( One ticket please.)"

"80,000 Kusokzolta."

"*Damn, that seems expensive but public officials don't rarely cheat you, so I guess there's something more to the train.*"

Ron payed the man, and as he did the ticket machine began to suck up all of the gold coins before it produced a ticket.

"( Please board.)"

"( Thank you.)"

Boarding the train he was amazed by it's interior design it looked like a goblins wet dream. Everything was coated in gold and there were several magical tools that helped comfort the passengers.

There were very few passengers on board, with him there were 10 people in total. With only three children his age, two boys and one girl, what caught his attention was the girls pale snow skin and crimson eyes.

"*A Vampire... This is my first time actually seeing one in person. That itself made the train ticket worth it, and I think she's a True Vampire.*"

There were different kinds of Vampires, there were Blooded Vampires which had been turned, Dhampir or half bloods, and "True" Vampires which were those born that way. According to the British Ministry only a few "True" Vampires still existed, and most of them secluded themselves from the rest of the world.

"*If that report by the Ministry is true why would she be in the open?*"

Right as he was trying to figure that out, two men escorted the girl to another wagon up front. Ron was suspicious but he didn't have a wand and it wouldn't be smart of him to out himself in a foreign and maybe hostile country.

Since the Vampire girl left, Ron sat down in an empty seat, which was obviously made from a magical beast's hide because he'd never seen royal purple leather. As Ron was comfortably sitting down a stewardess came to him and asked if he wanted anything to drink which he refused and instead asked how long it would take to reach Yakutsk.

"( One hour.)"

"( Thank you.)"

Leaning back on his lavish and soft seat Ron thought about his journey so far in Russia.

"*It hasn't been easy, but it hasn't been terrible I even found some very interesting information. My only concern is that I'm wandless, and I'm in a foreign and possibly hostile country. I can use Wandless Magic but I feel that in doing so I'm not fully utilizing my magic to it's full potential. There's still a few months until I'm required to go to Ollivanders and get a wand, but I'm not sold on buying something so important without doing some research first.*"

The man with the Ticket Machine entered the train and informed everyone that they were setting off, as he said that Ron could hear what could only be described as a booming roar before the train started moving.
